You Think What?

We think the Newsweek cover picture of John McCain’s running mate, Governor Sarah Palin (R-Alaska),  is just perfect.

If we had been making the photo selection we would have chosen this one because it shows La Palin to be “just like us.”… age lines, wrinkles and blemishes. No air brushing, no PhotoShop manipulation. Just feisty, * spunk filled Sarah Palin Republican politician up close. (more…)

Some veterans of the current wars do not support the Republican candidate John McCain. Here’s a video that explains why good old JMack can’t get close enough to smell their vote.

David Kernell, of Knoxville, Tennessee, age 20, son of  Democratic Tennessee state lawmaker Mike Kernell of Memphis, has been indicted for allegedly hacking Republican vice presidential candidate  Governor Sarah Palin’s email account and publishing the contents on a public web site.
Kernell  entered a plea of not guilty in federal court in Knoxville earlier today Wednesday, October 8, 2008. His father is a longtime Democratic state representative who says he, himself, was not involved in the hacking incident.

David Kernell was released without posting bond, but  several conditions were imposed by the court. Kernell, who is an economics student at the University of Tennessee, is not allowed to own a computer and can use the Internet only for checking e-mail and doing class work.

Trial is set for December 16, 2008. Kernell faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a three-year term of supervised release.

Here’s Blanche Africa Reilly Dark with a few words for Governor Sarah Palin.

With all due respect Governor Palin you are out of your league. Everyone talks about Joe Biden’s verbal gaffe’s but the errors made by La Palin are far more damaging than those made by Biden.

For example Palin made some joke about Biden’s age. She’s the one who is on the ticket with the oldest man to run for the office.

Lately Palin’s been rehashing criticisms of Senator Obama’s alleged close associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the reformed 1960s domestic terrorist William Ayers.  That blond dimwitted co-host on the daytime program The View has picked up Palin’s revisited talking points and erroneous slanderous remarks. Let’s stop for one moment to examine Sarah Palin’s associates. Let’s take a closer look at those whom she admires.

The late Joe Vogler of the Alaskan Independence Party–this is the party that wishes the state to secede from the union. Vogler famously said,”I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”  Wow! He sounds like he’s got more in common with Rev. Wright than Barack Obama. He even sounds a bit like a domestic terrorist.

Palin and the “first dude” have been active in this suspected subversive organization as recently as six months ago.

Over the next thirty days or so we’ll be hearing more and more about the identity of Palin’s associates and whether or not she can afford to be bringing up old unsubstantiated stories, lies and gossip to damage the Obama campaign.

Like I said, people in glass houses…..

Even former U.S. Sen. Dennis De Concini believes John McCain’s role in the financial scandal of the 1980s and early 1990s is fair game as he campaigns for the office of POTUS.

We agree. Transparency is the thing we need most from John McCain. As we og forward to tonight’s town hall format pseudo debate we will see if the public asks questions about McCain’s role in the scandal or if there are questions posed to him about the current economic crisis. (more…)

Americans have grown weary after eight years of slacker behavior, what we call “de-elitification”, from the current pResident of the White House.

In the video displayed below you will see an example of what we could have if JMack and the Terrah Sarah are elected. No wonder he selected her for the number two spot on the ticket. The two of them make a juvenile political duo; he is regressively so, and she is a case of arrested development

It has been reported Republican vice presidential candidate  Governor Sarah “The Terrah” Palin claims Senator Barack Obama, the Democrat candidate for POTUS has a more than passing association with William Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground movement in the 1960s. This is a lie. They live near each other in the same Chicago neighborhood. They have served on charitable boards together. There is no evidence they are pals in the way the pitbull in lipstick describes their insignificant relationship.

During  campaign speeches given over the weekend in California and Colorado, Palin mentions a recent article in the New York Times as the source for her criticism of Barack Obama. La Palin states:

Our opponent is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who target their own country.

Palin conveniently omitted the part of the article that said Obama and Ayers were not friends. She even skimmed over the part that mentioned Senator Obama was only eight years old when Ayers was accused of terrorist activities. Not surprising to us is the fact she did not mention Obama denounced Ayers actions months ago.

Palin also made this slightly tinged with racist appeal statement:

“This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America. We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism .”

She’s right. The way  Senator Obama sees this country is quite different from the way John and Sarah see our nation.

Senator Obama has said on many occasions he sees a nation that has provided an opportunity for the son of an American woman from Kansas and a father from Kenya to be educated to become one of the best and the brightest this generation has to offer. He is one who uses his skills to help the less fortunate while presenting solutions to problems that face the majority of citizens. He is a willing public servant.

Can someone tell the Republican Party and candidates McCain and Palin we citizens know about being manipulated? After a long eight year nap the American electorate is awake now and very aware of the lies being told repeatedly. It is said if  you lie the lie often enough it will be perceived as the truth. We’re not as gullible  as we were in the selection of 2000 or the election of 2004.

We recognize Ms Palin is the official attack dog for the GOP ticket, taking on the traditional role of the veep candidate–smearing and lying about the opposition. She is true to the Republican tradition of telling lies, even poorly constructed lies, and repeating them ad nauseum. Sarah is described by some as Dick Cheney or Dumbya in a dress and lipstick.  She’s the new face of the GOP–and some people thought the party was over.

That is why we present to Sarah Palin the “Talking Dog Award”,  because she is a big Republican liar telling big Republican lies.

We really like Joe Biden, the Democrat  senator from Delaware who is running for vice president on the ticket with Senator Barack Obama. We love him because he is the real deal. Joe, even with his extensive vocabulary, his many years in the U.S.  Senate and his college education and law degree, his comb-over, and his “Folks I wanna tell you” plain manner of speaking, is more real, more authentic,  more genuine than anything the GOP can morph in five weeks or less.

No it’s not a bill sponsored in congress by a character from a situation comedy it’s sponsor is Peter De Fazio from the Fourth Congressional District in Oregon.

In a message to his colleagues in the House of Representatives De Fazio quotes Simon Johnson, a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund who said in the New York Times of Paulson’s plan, “Our view that this package, in a fundamental sense, will not solve the problem.”

Representative De Fazio then stated:

“We have credible alternatives to the Paulson/Bush $700 billion gamble.  William Isaac, the chairman of the FDIC during the previous worst financial crisis in the United States during the 1980s, believes (more…)
