First Sarah Palin, now this, and Obama’s lead is still only in single digits.

I think mikey has it right – the folks who’re behind either candidate just won’t budge, & those are the ones who make up the vast majority of the poll results … it’s those vital 5-10% that are fence-sitting who will determine the winner, & a lot of them may not even get off the fence until they’re literally in the polling-booth.

McCain made one fatal mistake. In his arrogance and vanity he let Obama’s popularity rattle him, and he took it out on the media.

Yeah, because that approach worked so well for Richard Nixon.

My points in this thread – which I have yet to see anyone refute – are (1) that Obama comes out of a vicious, corrupt Chicago Democratic machine and (2) it is a pitiful and hilarious sight to see celebrities express leftist political opinions in the hopes that will persuade the public.

Glad I’m not so insecure & pathetic as to troll around to score cheap-shot ego-rush points from content-challenged drivel. Must suck hard to be you, dude.

1: put forward bait in the form of statements of opinion that by definition can’t be “refuted” because they’re utterly subjective
2: wait for fish to take bait
3: ?????
4: PROFIT!!!

You have no “points” TO refute, so I think you may be waiting a long, long time. Do you just get off on abuse, or are you a total attention-whore, or what? Because it’s really really pitiful.

But I have to disagree with this post: the Debates were not the headshot Obama needed – he was MUCH too gentle in the face of repeated McCain lies & let him bloviate repeatedly with little or no response. I really doubt McCrash’s little stunt will be remembered by those all-important undecided voters on E-Day. But if Obama keeps tying him to Der Chimperor, & uses the facts to keep on torpedoing the “Maverick!” tripe, he’s got it in the bag – his opponent’s own voting record is his strongest weapon.

Yes, yes, you think I’m a Truth sock-puppet. *rolleyes*

So, my bad feeling about this whole thing started when there even existed a PUMA phenomenon. Everyone dismissed it as a fringe movement—and so it is, in terms of the actual number of people who call themselves PUMA. But it is a bellwether or harbinger or whatever -er you want to call it. It didn’t happen in the Kerryverse and it didn’t happen during Gore’s campaign, and I’m pretty sure it was not all astroturf as bloggers I’ve known to be reliable (D) folk for years started identifying that way.

But the way they interpret McCain’s actions is likely to be the way a lot of the electorate interprets it, and that’s totally different from what Sadlynosians think of it.

Amen.

And few people will spend one second thinking about the disappointment of the Republicans. We’ll be too busy trying to undo the damage they did. When the puppy poops on the rugs, chews up your ties and bites your kid, you’re too busy to gloat.

I understand what is going to happen on Nov. 4. I hereby promise to gloat like a motherfucker the day after McCain/Palin go down in electoral flames. I pledge to laugh as I piss on your metaphorical grave, you piece-of-crap troll.

That doesn’t matter because, after Nov. 4., you’ll never post here under the name of “Truth” again.

Mandos understands what is going to happen on Nov 4. I promise not to gloat too much.

Hmmmm.

Wp wants me to die spammer die, when I link to youtube. What happenin?

So just click it.

The part of Sublime will be played by Obama.

He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Representative Blunt

Amazing how having Representative Blunt, Representative Doobie, and Senator Mary Jane around can smooth things out.

It’s a shame Representative Bonghits was, like, on vacation, man.

It is. That’s why conservatoids are so enraged at liberal celebs.

(1) that Obama comes out of a vicious, corrupt Chicago Democratic machine

If he didn’t have some vicious homies watching his back, the Clintons would have taken out to the railroad tracks and shot him, duh.

(2) it is a pitiful and hilarious sight to see celebrities express leftist political opinions in the hopes that will persuade the public.

Okie doke. I’ll “celebrities” to the list of sources that you and your little green redstate friends don’t find persuasive:

- facts
- news (from any source other than FauxNews, the Moonie Times and WingNutDaily)
- expert opinions from people with advanced degrees
- the Pope
- empirical evidence
- the Sermon on the Mount
- scientists
- conservative political figures that you agreed with for years up until they started saying stuff you disagreed with at which time they instantaneously liberals
- logic
- Paris Hilton’s Mom
- celebrities

See? It’s right there at the bottom. I underlined it for you.

Best descriptors I’ve seen evar of the Republican party. Thanks, Truthless!

Well that’s good. Those Washington Rethugs aren’t going to kneecap themselves.

Ok. In response to 1)
So what? Is Chicago politics more crooked than Alaska politics? Almost all of Alaska’s Congressional delegation is under investigation or actually on trial. What evidence of corruption is there regarding Obama specifically? Not vague insinuations regarding his geographical proximity to people. Is he currently under investigation, like your VP candidate? Is he currently violating subpoenas, like your VP candidate, or your candidate’s advisor, Karll Rove?
Has he been censured for ethical violations, like your presidential candidate, McCain?

In response to 2)
A. Ronald Reagan, actor who parlayed his celebrity into elective office
B. Arnold Shwarzenegger,actor who parlayed his celebrity into elective office
C. Fred Grandy (Love Boat) actor who parlayed his celebrity into elective office
D. Actors who parlayed celebrity into rightwing causes
1. Charlton Heston
2. Chuck Norris
3. Ron Silver
Is that enough? Got a list of celebrity Democratic elected officials? How many states are currently governed by celebrity actors? Are they Democrats, or Republicans? Seems to be largely a Republican phenomenon.
