"Barack Obama is closing the deal in this election
and America is closing the door on the
last eight years of failed Republican
policies. The American people have now seen what
both tickets are offering four times,
and the choice could not be more clear: Barack Obama
offers the steady leadership we need
and more and more Americans agree with every passing day."
-- Hillary, Link
I forget - are we angry with Hillary because she won't go away
or are we angry because she's not doing more rallies for Obama?

Undecideds Laughing At McCain
Excerpt:
In politics it is not a good sign when voters
are laughing at you, not with you. And by the end of that
last debate, the undecided voters who had gathered
in Denver for Stan Greenberg's focus group were
"audibly snickering" at McCain's grimaces, eye-bulging,
and repeated references to "Joe the Plumber."
The group of 50 uncommitted voters should have
at least been receptive to McCain - Republicans and
Independents outnumbered Democrats in the group
by almost 4 to 1, and they started the evening with
much warmer responses to McCain than to Obama.
But by the time it was all over, so few of them had
declared their support for McCain that there
weren't enough for Greenberg to separate them into a
post-debate focus group. Meanwhile, the Obama
supporters had to assemble in two different rooms
to keep their discussion groups manageable.
If they somehow declare McWeenie the winner on Nov 4th,
Bush is going to need more than the National Guard to calm America.

I know - let's spend 2 billion a week for eight years to steal
Iraq's oil for the Bush bastards.
Then we'll give Wall Street a trillion dollars so they can lend
it back to us at a profit.
Then we can give BIG OIL another trillion dollars
so they can raise the price od gasoline
But the old, the sick and the poor?
Fuck 'em - we got ours, they can get theirs the same way.
Sarah's right - it's all about how you spend it.

What Is
McCain's Problem?
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
'I'm not Bush', the latest gambit tried out by
McCain onstage and in a new commercial, is not a strategy.
(And it is altogether too vulnerable to rebuttal,
as the new Obama ad proves with the opponent's own utterance.)
"Obama knows Bill Ayers" was not a strategy either,
although it has been substituted for one over the past
few weeks, nor was the variation of "Obama lied
about knowing Bill Ayers." Complaining about ACORN's
bad voter registrations? That's a tactic, too,
and not a very effective one. McCain's exaggerated debate
warning about the "fabric of democracy" was feeble
substandard demagogy, and fell flat instantly.
A campaign is bereft of ideas when the candidate
mindlessly repeats charges that are obviously backfiring.

Sodomy and
gratitude
by Mark Morford
Excerpt:
Can you sense it? Do you feel the deep tingle?
Because amid the fiscal meltdown and Obama's stunning
poll numbers and the stress of the election,
this staggering fact: George W. Bush is nearly done. He will soon
be gone forever, America's most spectacularly
incompetent footnote, the oily residue left on the pavement
after his administration's giant Hummer of ineptitude
is finally hauled to the crusher...
Get ready to pray. To Shiva, to Shakti, to Astarte
and Allah and Buddha and Jesus and the Great Mother
and whatever divine energy you like that the
Dems don't completely botch it, get just as power-drunk and
monomaniacal as their GOP counterparts, and squander
what's shaping up to be an astonishing opportunity
to reshape the American experiment.
Fact: the neocons and the evangelicals had a stranglehold
on the U.S. government for six solid years,
and they very nearly destroyed the country. The
good news is, there is nowhere for the Dems to go but up.
They can't possibly do worse. The bad news is,
even with a brilliant, steady, unflappable President Obama
at the helm, they could sure as hell try.

"The real winner in last night's debate was
Joe the Plumber.
Joe's the man. He won, and small
businesses won across America."
-- Grumpy McNasty
Hey John, is there anything you can't get wrong?
His name's not Joe and he's not even a plumber.
Joe the Plumber is a fraud
Excerpt:
It turns out "Joe the Plumber" has a different
first name and no plumber's license, owes
back taxes to the state of Ohio and would likely
get a tax cut under President Obama's plan.
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, 34, retreated inside
his house after being besieged by the whore press.
Wurzelbacher told the Whore AP he does not make
more than $200,000 a year - the threshold for
a tax increase under Obama's plan. But he said
he still objected to Obama's thinking behind the tax hike.
"It's not right for someone to decide you made
too much - that you've done too good and now we're
going to take some of it back," he said.
"It is utterly bizarre that McCain chose this
guy as the poster child, because this guy would get a tax cut
under Obama, and wouldn't under McCain," says
William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center.
Here we go again - another idiot who's begging to pay more taxes because
"it's not right"
for the super-rich to pay more than the super-poor. Wish I had a bridge
to sell this guy.
Morons like this would be angry if they won a million dollars because
he'd have to pay maybe $300,000 in taxes on his unexpected windfall.
I, for one, would love to pay $300,000 in taxes.
What fun is it to be super-rich if the super-poor aren't paying enough
taxes?

Obama surge
gives McCain the jitters
Link
Excerpt:
Obama is drawing up plans for an audacious final
push deep into the Republican heartland to force
Grumpy to spend valuable time and money defending
states that were not considered potentially
vulnerable even a few weeks ago.
McCain faces an electoral map today with a harsh
reality: he must now win virtually all of the eight
"toss-up states" on election night to eke out
victory. The man with Obamomentum is riding a surge
courtesy of voter concern over the economy and
needs to win only one to enter the White House.

GOP Fundraiser = Dirty Crook
Excerpt:
Henry Waxman presented documents to the Pentagon
on Thursday alleging that a top Republican
fund-raiser, Harry Sargeant III, has made tens
of millions of dollars in profits over the last four years
because his contracting company vastly overcharged
for deliveries of fuel to American air bases in Iraq.
Waxman uses emails, company documents, Pentagon
reports and other information to make the case
that Sargeant repeatedly received fuel contracts
even though he was never the lowest bidder for the work.
In one case, Sargeant's company was actually
the highest of six bids but received the contract anyway.
Republican warmongers raping the Treasury for
billions off Bush's phony war?
Who'd believe that?
Of course, nothing will come of this, besides
Waxman sending a very stern letter to the White House
asking for an explanation. The Bush bastards
will read his letter, laugh, then throw it away.
Evil, murderous sons of bitches don't care about letters.
They respect force - that's all.
Too bad the Democrats don't have any.

Subject: Forget Ayers - McCain Transition Chief Lobbied for Saddam
McCain has been making a big deal about Obama
and Ayers, but look who McCain's
transition chief is. Huffington Post reports,
"William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist
who John McCain has named to head his presidential
transition team, aided an influence
effort on behalf of Saddam Hussein to ease
international sanctions against his regime."
Does America need a Saddam lobbyist to transition
from Bush to McCain?
That's not change I can believe in.

Quotes
"The Secret Service is in dangerous territory
here. In cooperation with the Palin campaign,
they've started preventing reporters
from leaving the press section to interview people in
the crowd. This is a serious violation
of their duty -- protecting the protectee -- and gets into
assisting with the political aspirations
of the candidate. It also often makes it impossible for
reporters to get into the crowd to
question the people who say vulgar things."
-- Dana Milbank, Link
I believe you can ask a judge to rule that being kidnapped by
the Secret Service (OJ was just
convicted of kidnapping the same way) is illegal and must be
stopped immediately.
The Bush bastards did the same thing - arresting people for wearing
an anti-Bush t-shirt.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT, but if nobody complains, those crimes
will continue.
Bullies and evil sons of bitches will continue their crimes until
somebody stops them.
Why do some people think criminals will stop committing crimes
on their own?

25 years later, bombing in Beirut still resonates
Excerpt:
Sgt. Stephen Russell was sitting in his guard
booth outside a barracks in Beirut.
He says he heard something snap behind him and
a diesel engine revving.
He turned.
What he saw was the future, coming straight at
him, in the form of a 5-ton truck.
It was Oct. 23, 1983, a day Ronald Reagan called
the saddest of his presidency, maybe his life.
The truck would shatter the Marines' building
with a bomb more powerful than 12,000 pounds
of TNT - the biggest non-nuclear explosion since
World War II, the FBI concluded.
It would kill 241 servicemembers, including 220
Marines - the Corps' bloodiest day since Iwo Jima.
It would drive the U.S. out of Lebanon and
lead some, including Osama bin Laden,
to conclude that when America gets its nose
bloodied, it pulls back.
They hardly ever put the truth in print - I wonder why they did it this time?
The American whore press would have you believe
Bill Clinton showed the terrorists that
America will always run from a fight, but they
learned that lesson from Ronald Reagan.
What they always leave out is that Reagan insisted
those Marines be housed on land even after
the Joint Chiefs told him ships would be safer
because the Lebanon suicide bombers hadn't yet
learned how to make a truck fly - so suicide
bombs would only work on land, but Reagan insisted.
So we lost 241 Marines that day, because Reagan
was too stubborn to trust his generals,
but since the media wants their Reagan myth preserved,
they leave some important facts out.
Also, they fail to mention that a few years later,
Reagan gave these terrorists weapons.
Yes, after they murdered 241 Marines, Reagan
and Bush did business with them, just like
Bush did business with Saddam, Noriega and the
Mullahs in Iran.
History won't remember the global crimes that
Reagan and Bush committed,
but they'll remember who Monica was because that's
important.
