Obama stalls
in polling
Why isn't he doing better against Bush's third term?
Excerpt:
In the two months since Obama captured the Democratic
nomination, he has hit a ceiling in
public opinion polling, proving unable to make
significant gains with any segment of the voters.
While Obama still leads in most matchups with
McCain, his apparent stall in the polls is a
sobering reminder to Democrats intoxicated
with his campaign's promises to expand the
electoral map beyond the boundaries that have
constrained other recent party nominees.
That gap between expectations and reality comes
as Democrats enjoy the most favorable political winds
since at least 1976. At least eight in ten Americans
believe the nation is on the wrong track. Fuhrer Bush
is historically unpopular. From stunning Democratic
gains in party registration to economic anxiety,
Obama should have a healthy lead by almost every
measure. Yet, in poll after poll, Obama fails to cross
the 50-percent threshold.
I'm nervous about this election - maybe you should be, too.

Quotes
"In January 2004, Obama declared that it was
time "to end the embargo with Cuba"
because it had "utterly failed in the effort
to overthrow Castro." But speaking to a
Cuban-American audience in Miami in August
2007, he said he would not "take off
the embargo" as president because it is "an
important inducement for change."
-- Willium
Blum, Link
Some people will probably take this as an attack on Obama, but
he's changed his position
on so many issues, it's easier to list the issues on which he
hasn't changed his mind.
He told us 1,000 times that he was a different kind of guy, not
like the others, and how
important it was to stand for something - then he flip-flops
on almost every issue.
Obama sees the embargo as "an important inducement for change?"
JFK issued that embargo 46 years ago - so what "inducement" does
Obama see?
On the other hand, I want him to win, even if he has to be a
whore about it.

Humorous & Political T-Shirts
The Death
of Republican America
Wishful thinking by Sidney Blumenthal
Excerpt:
Despite the daily tracking polls, the underlying
story of the 2008 presidential campaign remains the
Bush presidency and how it brought about the
end of the long era of Republican political dominance
that began in 1968 with the election of Richard
Nixon.
The Republican Party has fallen farther behind
the Democratic Party in party identification and favorable
ratings than it has in decades. Democrats are
poised to make dramatic gains in their numbers in the
House of Representatives and the Senate.
(I wonder why he didn't include the White
House?)
Bush, "The Decider," was the implementer of complementary
radical plans for an imperial presidency
and a one-party government to be ruled for generations
by Republicans. But Bush's fiascos, were the
culmination of Republican ideology and have unraveled
Republican strengths built up over 40 years.
We all know Bush has been the worst president ever, so why is Obama just ahead by a few points?
I believe the
Bradley Effect is real, so we need to be ahead by at least ten
points to win.
Why are voters not flocking to Obama in bigger numbers?

Torturer Scolds China on Human Rights
Excerpt:
Bound for playtime in China, Fuhrer Bush (R-Torture)
is carrying a message of deep concerns
about the state of human rights in China and
urging them to allow political freedoms for its citizens
even tho Fuhrer Bush doesn't allow Americans
those same political freedoms.
"America stands in firm opposition to China's
detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates
and religious activists," Bush said with a straight
face. "We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly
and labor rights - not to antagonize China's
leaders, but because trusting its people with greater freedom
is the only way for China to develop its full
potential," said Bush, without a trace of irony in his voice.
Ain't that a bitch? The world's most famous pirate/kidnapper/torturer
and giggling murderer tells China
to treat its own citizens better while Fuhrer Bush has his goons
kidnap people in other countries
so he can masturbate to their torture videos.
"I'm a
sick bastard."

"Could Obama's skinniness be a liability?
Most Americans aren't skinny. Fully 66 percent
of all voters are overweight, and 32 percent

Subject: where's the money going?
Bart...
You keep asking that question: "Where's the money going?"
Have you noticed we've had two "redesigns" of
our money? After that the amount
of previous bills seem to be a lot less and the
market is flooded with quite ugly new bills?
Put that together with pallet loads of money for
corrupt contractors, bribes to factions to
stop fighting, and stop killing our troops to
make sure we can claim the surge is "working..."
at least until we STOP bribing them...
Does that help answer your question?
Is impeachment still off the ^%$#@! table?
WTF does it take? Or is impeachment only for Democrats,
Nancy?

Obama fighting
too soft for some
Democrats wonder if his heart's in this fight
Excerpt:
McCain's constant personal attacks against Obama
have raised worries among Democratic strategists
-- haunted by Kerry the Quitter's pitiful 2004
dive and Al Gore's razor-thin loss in 2000 -- that Obama
has not responded in kind with a parallel assault
on McCain's character. Interviews with nearly a dozen
Democratic strategists found those concerns to
be widespread, although few wished to be quoted by
name while Obama's campaign is demanding unity.
"Democrats are worried," said Tad Devine, a top
strategist for Kerry who thinks Obama must stay on
the high road. "We've been through two very tough
elections and it's very easy to lose confidence."
So far, said MoveOn's Eli Pariser, the best response
to McCain's celebrity attack has come from
Paris Hilton, who released her an ad calling
McCain "the oldest celebrity in the world, like super old."
So, Paris Hilton is the best player on our team?
What does that say about our situation?
I remember in 2004, when Kerry sat there and let Bush pee all over him,
everyone said
"Kerry is a great closer - he'll come back
strong towards the end," but he just sat there.
Is Obama, like Kerry, betting on the intelligence of the voters to see
thru McCain's bullshit?
Obama raises around $50M a month - why isn't he using that money more
effectively?
If I was on Obama's ad team, Democrats wouldn't be wringing their hands,
wondering why our candidate was being polite and holding back.

Military
trial acquits Osama's driver
But he's convicted of a lesser charge
Excerpt:
The US kangaroo military court has everything
- shifting charges, secret testimony - and quick verdicts.
Salim Hamdan, found innocent of two charges of
conspiracy, held his head in his hands and appeared to weep
Wednesday as the all-white military jury declared
him guilty of "aiding terrorism," which could bring a life sentence.
Deputy White House spokesliar Tony Fratto, called
this abortion of justice "a fair trial" and said prosecutors
will now proceed with other just-as-fair trials
trials of Afghani goat herders at Bush's Gitmo Torture Center.
Prosecutors intend to kangaroo about 80 goat
herders for war crimes, including 19 already "charged."
Jesus, it's a good thing the Founding Fathers
are all dead.
Secret charges, secret evidence, secret witnesses
- it's everything they vowed to avoid.
'Lucky' for us Bush knew the Constitution was
worthless, and for the goat herders who happened
to be standing there when the Pentagon goons
were offering $5,000 in cash to anyone who could
point out "Al Qaeda" - that's some sorry-ass
bad luck.
Under Bush, standing there without proof you're
not "Al Qaeda" means a death sentence.

Dear Bart,
How many farmers live in Oklahoma? McCain
wants to get rid of help to farmers.
He is against farm subsidies of any kind.
How is that gonna play where you live?
I can hardly wait until the farmers in Colorado
get wind of this.
They traditionally vote Republican just cuz of
their conservative roots.
But why vote against yourself???
Kat
Kat, Okies always vote against their own self interests.
Years ago, our senator/whore Don Nichols led the fight for billionaires
to get massive tax cuts and these dumb Okies were allllll behind
that.
How many billionaires do you think live in Oklahoma?
Same for trent Lott and Mississippi - how many super-rich people live
there?
But for some reason, these broke-ass farmers want Bill Gates and Barbara
Streisand
to have even more millions, so they vote against their own damn pocketbook.
Voters are stupid, stupid, stupid.
Hell, the poor refuse to vote themselves a raise - how stupid are people?
Democrats refuse to list the reasons why people should vote for them.
Sometimes I think Democrats are as stupid as the dumb-ass voters.

Where is Obama's Big Lead?
Excerpt:
Where's Obama's massive lead in the polls? Democrats
score higher than Republicans on generic polls.
Nonetheless, Obama has failed to pull convincingly
ahead of McCain, and some polls show them even.
The far-left Democrats nominated a charismatic
unknown, who has turned out not to be ready for
primetime politics. Why can't Obama hold on to
a credible lead in the polls? Because the Democrats
nominated an off-the-charts liberal and the United
States is a moderate-to-conservative nation.
As he changes positions seeking the support of
independents and alienated Republicans this fall,
he turns off the far-left base that got him the
nomination in the first place.
Granted, it's too soon to panic, buit when is the right time to panic?
September 15th?
October 1st?
There's still time to turn things around, but when will he start?

Mary-Kate off the hook
Excerpt:
Federal prosecutors have decided not to pursue
a criminal case into how Heath Ledger
obtained the drugs that killed him earlier this
year, a law enforcement official said Wednesday.
Prosecutors bowed out "because they don't believe
there's a viable target," said the official.
The decision comes after Mary-Kate Olsen demanded
immunity before answering questions.
She was the first person called by a masseuse
who found the actor's lifeless body.
Two thoughts:
1- This is just a wild guess, but say you and
me are at a wild Hollywood party.
A big star drops by with some "great stuff" and
we all do a toot and Heath says,
"Sweet - can I buy an ounce?"
and he disappears with Mary-Kate into another room.
Thirty minutes later Heath loses consciousness,
so - wouldn't your first, second and third
phone call be to the big star to ask, "What
the fuck was in that powder?"
2- Did you know Mary-Kate has money out the wazoo?
I saw something years ago that the Olsen twins
had a billion dollars.
I'm lying, it wasn't really a billion, but it
was like 900 million dollars.
Tell me - can you get a good lawyer if you have $900M?
Sidebar:
I really doubt Mary-Kate killed the poor guy, but why can't she talk?
If her friend supplied the drugs, why did she need immunity?
If some guy named "Lou" supplied the drugs, why did she need
immunity?
If there's no evdience that you committed a crime, why would you demand
immunity?
And why is the person demanding immunity not considered a "viable target?"
