"We've seen political parties get hit with
train wrecks, but it's so rare to have a party hit
with two train wrecks in a row: 2006,
where we lost 30 House seats and six Senate seats;
Last time it was Iraq and scandals,
and this time it's the stock market and the economy.
If it were any worse, it'd be biblical."
-- Charlie Cook, Link
You crazy sons of bitches kept saluting Der Monkey as he drove

You were warned 100 times, so why are you acting so surprised

His approval ratings have been in the twenties for years
and you stuck with him.
You had a chance to denounce him - but nooooooooooooooooo.
Now you're paying the price, you dumb sons of bitches.

Why McCain Lost Me
Excerpt:
Yesterday, while reading the latest polling data
on McCain, Palin and their appeal -- or growing lack of it --
to " independent women voters" it suddenly dawned
on me: I am one of these elusive independent female
voters, and I have the credentials to prove it.
For the past couple of decades, I've sometimes voted Democratic,
sometimes Republican. I'm even a registered independent,
though I did think of switching to vote for McCain
in 2000. But because the last political party
I truly felt comfortable with was Thatcher's Conservative Party
(I lived in England in the 1980s and 1990s),
I didn't actually do it.
The larger point, though, is that if I'm not voting
for McCain -- and, after a long struggle, I've realized that
I can't -- maybe it's worth explaining why, for
I suspect there are other independent voters who feel the
same. Particularly because it's not his campaign,
disjointed though that has been, that finally repulses me:
It's his rapidly deteriorating, increasingly
anti-intellectual, no longer even recognizably conservative
Republican Party. His problems are not technical;
they do not have to do with ads, fundraising or tactics,
as some have suggested. They are institutional;
they have to do with his colleagues, advisers and supporters.
Think how different things would've been if Sarah Palin had been a nice
lady.
What if she came out with all that charm and none of the poison - would
we be in trouble now?
Instead of being a nice lady, she came out all hissing and snarling,
like a snake..
Instead of being a new face for the GOP, she was all pit bullish and
mocking the Black man.
For half of America, it was hate at first sight.
I mentioned at the time that it was a great mistake for Palin to introduce
herself with slurs and sarcasm.
McCain should've told Rove's goons, "Thanks
but no thanks," when it came to the Slur Factory.
The rest of his life, McCain will be haunted by the fact that he became
what he hated most
and that cost him what he wanted the most - the White House.
John, you fucked up.
Now take it like a man and retire.

Bush again
breaks wall between church, state
by Helen Thomas
Excerpt:
Is there anything more that the administration
can do to ignore the spirit of the U.S. Constitution
before President Bush leaves office?
The New York Times has revealed that a 2007 memorandum
by the Justice Department's Office of
Legal Counsel claims that even federal programs
subject to nondiscrimination laws can hand out
taxpayer money to groups that discriminate in
hiring staffers. The memo says the administration can
bypass laws that bar giving taxpayer money to
religious groups that hire only staff members who share their faith.
It specifically applies to a $1.5 million grant
to World Vision, which is headquartered in Federal Way,
for salaries for staff members on a program that
helps at-risk youths avoid joining gangs.
The organization limits its hires to Christians,
but the DOJ memo said that's not a problem because
exceptions to the nondiscrimination rule are
permissible when obeying the law would impose a
"substantial burden" on people's ability to freely
follow their religion."
Since Bush is using our tax dollars illegally, do we still have to pay
taxes?

Quotes
"Obama will be able to handle this financial
crisis better, and I like his financial team of
Robert Rubin and Paul Volcker. By contrast,
McCain's handling of the financial crisis made
me feel nervous...I feel really badly. I just
hate to go against someone I served with in the
Senate. I voted and I got it mailed and it
tore at me to do that."
-- Former Sen.
Larry Pressler (R-S.D.),

He voted the way that was best for him and his wallet.
If all people did that, we'd never lose an election.

Why does an Obama vote register for McCain?
Excerpt:
Voters in at least two West Virginia counties
-- Jackson and Putnam -- say electronic voting machines
are switching their votes from Democrats to Republicans.
The two county clerks, both Republicans, say they
don't think there's a problem. But these voting problems
have gotten the attention of everyone from CNN
to that Hillary-hating Huffington Post.
So far, eight voters from Jackson and Putnam counties
have come forward to say their electronic voting
machines kept changing their votes from Democrats
to Republicans -- usually, from Obama to McCain.

Subject: October Surprise??
Hey Bart,
The price of a barrel of oil has now dropped to
below $64, the lowest level it's been in well over a year.
Kinda co-incidental that it's happening just
before another election, eh? There are places across the US
where a gallon of gas is just over $2 and here
in CA, it's just starting to drop below $3.
If it wasn't for the economy tanking so badly
and the stock market crumbling, want to bet we would be
hearing from Republicans about how they're doing
such a great job and that McCain should be our next President?
And sadly, we'd probably would have fallen for
it again too.

Please take down the Palin porn comic on your

Is there no way you can satirize her political

Because your use of gender to humiliate her is

The Christian Right Killed the GOP
Excerpt:
When Reagan began courting the religious right
in his bid to win the Presidency, I doubt he knew he was
spelling death to the lean tenets of Goldwater
conservatism. Yet soon afterward, under the thumb of right-wing
religion, the Republican party became a bloated
fool, stuffed with hypocrisy, greed, and anti-intellectualism.
In 2008, the price is being paid through lost
elections and a loss of public trust.
While Bush railed about the axis of evil, there
was another axis that gathered steam during the Reagan years.
The Moral Majority, Focus on the Family, and
The Christian Coalition were all formed within years of each other
as religiopolitical groups. Jerry Falwell, James
Dobson, and Pat Robertson, the respective leaders of these
movements, formed a triad that sought to influence
politics through a gospel of neo-conservative Christian
rhetoric aimed at millions of faithful adherents
whose votes, it was hoped, could swing the socio-political
pendulum away from progress and back to "traditional
values."
In order to win the votes of the triad's faithful
followers, Republican politicians bartered themselves
into a hear-no-wrong, see-no-wrong trade-off.
Plus, if a politician gets caught with a man in his mouth, he's always
a right-wing Bible thumper.
Why do so many religio-handjobs think men want to be gay, and
only thru the help of Jesus
can they resist that "uncontrollable urge" to blow some dude?

Subject: take your camcorder to vote
Hey Bart,
Tim Robbins had a great suggestion to get out
there before election day.
He was on Bill Maher last week and he suggested
we document any funny business.
You can go to your voting building and hang out
outside (within the boundaries established by law)
with a video camera and record anyone who comes
out complaining of not being allowed to vote
and post the video on YouTube.
DOCUMENTATION might be the only way to get the theft reversed.
Take Care,

Thanks - I meant to mention that.
Someone said the GOP is posting goons at the polls to scare blacks
away.
Everyone should bring a camcorder or iPhone to vote and get that

Corrupt
Sen. Stevens (R-Guilty)
"This trial is a series of tubes..."
Excerpt:
A jury found U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens guilty of
all seven counts in his federal corruption trial.
The jury found Stevens guilty of "knowingly and
willfully" scheming to conceal on Senate disclosure forms
more than $250,000 in home renovations and other
gifts from a guilty oil industry contractor.
Stevens faces a maximum sentence of up to to 35
years in prison -- five years for each of the seven counts.
Legal experts note the judge has the discretion
to give Stevens as little as no jail time and probation when he is sentenced.
He sat expressionless as the seven verdicts were
read out at the end of his trial.

Subject: Republicans accusing Dems of wealth redistribution
It's amazing that Republicans are accusing Democrats
of wealth redistribution saying the Democrats are
going to "spread the wealth around". And saying
this after the Republicans came to get a trillion dollars in
welfare from hard working taxpayers in real America
to spread around in handouts for Wall Street.
The Republicans just socialized the stock market
and they accuse Democrats of spreading the wealth around?
With Republicans it's the same old same old all
over again and they always have some lame excuse
and a lame attack and I'm tired of it. Republicans
are at fault for ruining America and it's time for them
to pay the price. It's time to throw the bums
