Am I fubar either way?Think of it this way - even if McCain isn't elected, she'll be campaigning for Palin/Lieberman 2012. So its not all bad.

[rabidbadger]

does Alaska have a recall like CA does? Try that, maybe. You know. When she loses tuesday.

I doubt we could get rid of her either way at this point... it's embarrassing yes,

About November 5th, and the future in general...

....I'm really hopeful that I'll be safely locked up with my arsenal of

Russian Space Station (http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/92/70092-004-17A8C568.gif) will be on the way and I can hang out with
Lord British (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article4930136.ece), maybe play some old school Wizardry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizardry) with a pro, I might
have to hijack a plane (http://www.pbase.com/jmlevy/image/47288111) which will be the hard part...

...or maybe move to somewhere in New Zealand if all the idiots in the world
end up in a mass exodus to Alaska like I fear may happen, worst case.
I mean, when's the last time you heard of New Zealand picking a fight with
anyone... I never hear about any horrible crap happening there lately.

today: Tampa McCain rally: Where is everybody? (http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/2008/11/tampa-tampa-ral.html)

About 30 minutes before John McCain is scheduled to lead a rally outside Raymond James Stadium, looks like there's maybe 1,000 people here. What's up with that? On the day before the election? Bush drew at least 15,000 people to a rally just across the street on the Sunday before the 2004 election.

"We are the quiet majority that goes out and gets things done. ... I smell victory,'' said state Rep. Kevin


And last week at the infamous "where is joe the plumber" rally. (http://www.propeller.com/story/2008/10/30/mccain-buses-in-4000-school-children-to-fill-crowd-at-small-rally/)

Thursday, October 30, 2008:

John McCain held a rally in Defiance, Ohio, today with an estimated crowd of 6,000 people. Apparently two thirds of that crowd were school children which were bused in to fill the crowd. This is the same rally in which Mccain announced Joe the Plumber and called to Joe to introduce him to the crowd, but Joe was nowhere to be found

US to 'subsidise guns for the elderly' (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24768566-401,00.html)

Under the deal, seniors who buy the $US300 ($460) 9mm handgun will be reimbursed by the federal government in the US, magazine New Scientist reports.

Matthew Carmel, president of Constitution Arms in Maplewood, New Jersey, said the gun was "something that they need to assist them in daily living".

"The justification for this would be no more or less for a (walking aid) or wheelchair, or any number of things that are medical devices," Mr Carmel told the magazine.

Riiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhtttttt.

Because the elderly and disabled need a 9mm handgun to 'bust a cap' off the pill bottle, or 'shoot over to the store'?

Maybe there is a need from a personal protection perspective since the elderly are targetted frequently, but seriously? A subsidy as a disabled aid?

I don't get it man. Is this seriously their strategy? Ridiculous bitching about anything and everything the left does? They have plenty of complaints but no suggestions it seems.

Republicans should be using this time to lick their wounds and rethinking their strategy. Instead of reforming the party, they seem to be digging it deeper in the whole in my opinion.

In my opinion, a significant reason McCain lost was because the campaign shifted away from the issues and towards attacks. The same is still happening. I mean, I seriously heard constant bitching about Obamas bow for like 5 days. 5 days of bitching over a stupid bow! Screw the economy, Obama bowed! Get real. These people are uneducated individuals who lack critical thinking and the ability to form their own opinion. If ANYONE is brainwashed it's them.

I'm sorry guys but sometimes people are wrong. Completely and utterly wrong and racism is such a thing.

There's no need to sugar coat everything.

"Well that there is an interesting concept. However, I personally respect your opinion of punching babies in the face".

Be real people.
I'm going to raise an interesting point I raised in another forum, what if racist can't helping being racist any more than homophobic people can't stop being scared of gays, you don't shout at someone who scared of spiders for discriminating ageist them, granted spiders arn't people but what if someone can't help hating someone because of the color of there skin any more than you chose who to love.
I just thought I would throw that point in there you can't discriminate ageist someone because of there beleif even if they are disgriminating agesnt someone else because then you are just as 'bad' as they are.
It's like killing someone because they killed someone to show them killing people is wrong.
If that makes sense, I don't think you can say "you killed someone so to show you that is wrong we are going to do it to you" that's not setting an example, a person is person it doesn't matter if they are black or white or rasist or homophobic or peace loving hippies.

That was kind of hard to follow, but I think I understand what you are trying to convey. The issue is that as humans, we have the ability to be rational; which means we have the ability to change. A racist person can change. So yes, they can "help it". As can a homophobic person, or a person scared of spiders, or whatever. They may choose not too, most people don't. How often do you hear "Thats who I am".

The question is where does the morality lie? Its much more complicated and I don't have the mental clarity to form a post or opinion on it right now as it would take a lot of time and I have a 15 page German History research paper due Wednesday. I just keep telling myself one more week :)

Wow just listened to this garbage... it's ridiculous. That last lady said "don't they have anything better to do, than to take a road-trip to VA to get a burger" look who's talking lady. Don't you have anything better to do than to criticize the presidents choice of hamburger toppings?

I wish I could have called in and asked them, "seriously?!?! please tell me you have something better to talk about on your show than, the presidents toppings! You seriously make a living by nit-picking every ridiculous detail?"

I love Fox "News" dude. I'm being serious too. I watch it all the time. Not for the news, but for entertainment. Glenn Beck is one of my new favorite show's on television now. I watch because he's bat shit crazy. I never know what he's going to do next. He seriously had a guy outside wearing a hazmat suit a few weeks ago to clean up a "green light bulb" that broke. Hilarious.

It's strictly entertainment for me.

I agree. The trip to VA was no longer than the one she takes from Fox Studios to the News Corp headquarters twice a week to service Rupert.

I'm not surprised that Bush has lawyers who can make such intellectually dishonest arguments, but that story just shows that Bush overstepped his Constitutional authority far earlier than most people think and provides yet another compelling piece of evidence for prosecution. Unfortunately, it's probably yet another piece of compelling evidence that Obama will ignore due to the blinders strapped to his head to make sure that he's "looking forward."

[bobv13]

"a government for the people by the people" Sorry to say she is one of the people. Apparently our educational system has been failing for quite some time. I was a little surprised to hear her say she had voted. Most of the ignorant people I've come in contact don't take the time and I don't encourage them.

And wow again (http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/2009/08/death-to-obama-sign-holder-at-town-hall-detained-by-secret-service.php), and involves the kids again. And threats. Evil teabaggers/birthers.

Sheila Jackson Lee talks on the phone as a woman asks a question at a town hall event. That's just as rude as some of the people attending these events. It's a bit worse though because it's coming from an elected official.

Rev. Wright isn't Obama's pastor. Sorry.

[phatlip]

Rev. Wright isn't Obama's pastor. Sorry.

To my knowledge, Obama wasn't even present when Wright made the comments in question.

Regardless, it's pretty silly to suggest Obama agrees with any inflammatory remarks made about whites. Obama IS half white. I doubt he hates himself. I mean, come on.

[secret-steve-crumbles]

Rev. Wright isn't Obama's pastor. Sorry.Wait wait, are you talking about before he called him his brother and would never disown him, or are you talking about the day later when he said: "oh, never mind, my ratings are tanking so I guess I have to not like him now." Which Obama are you talking about?

To my knowledge, Obama wasn't even present when Wright made the comments in question.You're right. Despite the fact that his preacher says this all the time, every single time he did Obama wasn't there. That's fucking incredible he missed it every time!

*Maybe now you'll understand how immature and counterproductive a post like this is*When your entire post is explaining that you aren't smart enough to understand a graph, therefore it's misleading, it deserves a pointed finger at you laughing.

Here's one more hate group hiding behind a cross (http://www.towleroad.com/2009/08/baptist-preacher-when-i-go-to-bed-at-night-i-pray-for-barack-obama-to-die-and-go-to-hell.html). Clip of homophobic Pastor Steven Anderson giving his sermon at Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona. Says Anderson: "When I go to bed at night Steven L. Anderson will pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell."

So, I finally got around to watching this. I only have two things to say:

1) This is what happens when your parents are brother and sister, and

2) Superior ass, my ass!

I must commend them for being able to form complete sentences though.

[quix]

Wait wait, are you talking about before he called him his brother and would never disown him, or are you talking about the day later when he said: "oh, never mind, my ratings are tanking so I guess I have to not like him now." Which Obama are you talking about?

I'm talking about how he's not his pastor. He was, but referring to him as currently being Obama's pastor is inaccurate. It'd be like saying "Bush is a worthless drunk" or "John McCain is an adulterer." It was once true, but currently isn't.

Yea, you're right (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdLX3aRNaNk).

It's great that we can all recognize ignorance when we see it, but tell the truth don't you feel just a little bit superior?

[phatlip]

It's great that we can all recognize ignorance when we see it, but tell the truth don't you feel just a little bit superior?

No, I wouldn't say superior because we're both human beings with our faults. I will say I'm a more understanding person and apparently more tolerant and kind towards others. But superior? No. If I thought that I would be no better then they are. THEY are the ones who think they're superior towards others (minorities).

[dam7ri]

It's great that we can all recognize ignorance when we see it, but tell the truth don't you feel just a little bit superior?

Actually, IQ tests make me superior to most people. As far as those people (and I use that word in the loosest possible sense) in the video, what makes me superior is opposable thumbs.

IQ tests are known to be pretty inconclusive, bias, and unreliable. But assuming you did have a higher IQ, that wouldn't make you a superior person. You would have superior intelligence, but that's it.

At least that woman (the video all the way back on page 1) was just a random unintelligent weirdo, who if someone hadn't filmed her and put on youtube, no one would ever know she existed... (Not to mention she was probably passed out drunk on voting day and didn't cast a vote anyway)

Meanwhile this guy made it all the way on to TV on C-Span to spew his racist diatribe, what he says is truly shocking...

The strangest thing about this Birther non-sense is that John McCain, undoubtedly the man that all the Birthers voted for...wasn't born in the united states at all. He was born in Panama.

A seven-month-old girl survived for three days alone with a bullet in her chest after being shot by her parents as part of a suicide pact over their fears about global warming.

They probably weren't conservatives. The murder/suicide was out of fear of global warming. It seems most conservatives don't believe in global warming.

I think the proper term is global climate change these days. But back to the story. I find it truly puzzling. They were on one hand good liberals, followers of father Gore but on the other the were evil gun toting conservatives. How does that happen? Who knows? I don't, but I do think the true lesson here is that there is danger in the extremes.
