Vote early.

October 24, 2008

Ok voters in swing states that are allowing early voting, have you voted? No? 

Allow me to attempt to persuade you to do so. Early voting could possibly save your vote from being thrown away. If you vote early, and for some reason are turned at the polls, you can at least gather whatever information the poll workers are requiring and return. If this happens on election day, you will be required to fill out a provisional ballot, which will then be challenged without you being there to defend it.

YEARS ago, Paul Weyrich, (a one time detractor, now supporter of John McCain, and also known as the founding father of the conservative movement, co-founding the “Moral Majority” with Jerry Falwell) laid down the future campaign strategy of the GOP… Voter Suppression.  

They want everybody to vote! I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people – they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections, quite candidly, goes up as the voting populace goes down. – Paul Weyrich

Insane huh? Don’t believe ANYONE would be THAT bold? Here is a video clip:

Amazing.

Back in 2002 McSchizo didn’t quite care for ol’ Weyrich:

“Weyrich possesses the attributes of a Dickensian villain,” he wrote in his 2002 book, Worth the Fighting For. “Corpulent and dyspeptic, his mouth set in a perpetual sneer as if life in general were an unpleasant experience, he is the embodiment of the caricature often used to unfairly malign all religious conservatives.” McCain added: “I like to think I know a pompous, self-serving son of a bitch when I see one.”

I agree with OLD John on this one. The 2008 model of McDusty seems to be ok with politics as usual and the corrupt strangle hold the GOP has on voting process. 

Below is an article in the Rolling Stone by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & Greg Palast that is a must read for anyone who wants their vote to be counted. Please, pass it along.

Again, vote early, and tell everyone you know to do so as well. If you have the option, vote on paper. If they turn you, get what is required and GO BACK AND VOTE. They can only take your vote if you let them, and you have know excuse now with early voting. If you can, call your friends and make sure they have voted. Harrass them if necessary! Seriously folks, it is THAT important.


What bi-partisan looks like.

Got this off of a link from Huffington Post. Pretty cool video, below that is the “share this” email, to copy, paste, and send to any Republicans that you know!

Check this out. This is a documentary project featuring Republicans and Conservatives who are voting for Obama. These are real people, speaking in their own words.

More humor.

October 22, 2008

In a growing list of things that the media has NOT covered, rests one story having to do with Johnny McSucks-at-life’s using the MOTHER of all curse words to describe his wife, when she made a joke about his balding head. The below video is censored, but you should be able to read between the lines.. Pretty hilarious stuff.

So on top of the Keating 5, G. Gordon Liddy, voting against Dr King’s holiday, and numerous other gross examples of his utterly slimey demeanor, the press refused to even mention this. Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olberman, Steven Colbert, and DAVID LETTERMAN, are the only talking heads that are fairly informing the viewers of McStank’s past. I mean, they don’t have time, they are so busy covering Sarah “Do I really not know what a VP does, or am I actually trying to expand the power of the VP” Palin. No wait, they haven’t touched on the AIP, Trooper Gate, Wasilla’s Meth Capital tag, charging for rape kits, her 150k wardrobe, her disgusting attempts to incite racial anger, and a hodge podge of other ridiculous stories that all equally make her 100% UNQUALIFIED for the office of the VP. 

Nope, it’s Obama’s almost non-existent connection to a rehabilitated terrorist from the 60’s that is focused upon. Sigh.


The internet and the death of Rovian politics.

October 22, 2008

Arriana Huffington wrote a new article over at the Huffington Post that stole my thunder for today’s post. In my honest opinion, the internet is the only reason that McGrumpy’s hate filled smear campaign has not succeeded. Only the foolish voters (or those looking for a reason to NOT vote for the black guy with the weird voice) fall for the “he’s a muslim”, “he swore in on the Quran”, “He pals around with domestic terrorists”, and my favorite “his pastor is a nut, so he must be” crap. Most people knew they could easily find their way to a fact checking site… like…. factcheck.org, and see the truth.

While I think anyone who feels that the Obama/Biden camp haven’t muddied their boots in the mud is naive, they definitely have not done anything remotely as disgusting as McDB’s camp. A bi-partisan fact check site will show that although both candidates have stretched the truth, McSlimey has gone much further, and much more personal.

Ms. Huffington’s article is really good, and I recommend you check it out.

The Internet and the Death Of Rovian Politics

October 22, 2008

McCain is running a textbook Rovian race: fear-based, smear-based, anything goes. But it isn’t working. The glitch in the well-oiled machine? The Internet. “We are witnessing the end of Rovian politics,” Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google told me. And YouTube, which Google bought in 2006 for $1.65 billion, is one of the causes of its demise.

New Obama ad!

October 17, 2008

I think it is safe to say that John lost last nights debate judging by the raw footage of his facial expressions alone.


3 for 3

October 17, 2008

Well, it’s fairly safe to say that Barack won tonight’s debate. Not only did he win on the issues themselves, he once again presented himself like a true statesmen. 

Although no new ground was uncovered for people who have been following the race from the beginning, I was glad to see McCain fall for Obama’s “challenge” to talk about Ayers to his face. I think the McCain camp would have been smarter to leave their smears out of the debates, without giving Barack a chance to show the American people how irrelevant and small the issues are.

I once again watched the debate twice, first on CNN, with their annoying “real time” reaction charts, then on CSPAN. CSPAN was actually more entertaining, since they split the screen and showed both candidates CLOSEUP throughout the entire debate. Watching McCain’s faces, creepy smiles, glares, and his inability to stop blinking (which makes up for Sarah’s lack of blinking when asked to join the McCain ticket) made me chuckle numerous times. The eye rolling was another weird thing for a Presidential candidate to do.. repeatedly. One extremely odd one, occurred while Barack was explaining why he was against free trade with Colombia.

McCain came off as rude, and really out of touch with “Main Street” once again, numerously spewing the Reagan Republicans bullet points:  ”He wants bigger government”, “He will raise your taxes”, and “class warfare”. Ol’ Grumpy repeatedly interrupted, spoke out of sequence, and eerily snickered and grinned his way back to the Senate in my opinion.

I also liked how Ol’ Johnny sent a shout out to Nancy Reagan who is hospitalized with a busted hip, yet intentionally neglected to send some love to Dick Cheney, who underwent another heart procedure. 

I also found it funny how McAngry continuously karate chopped the table to emphasize his “points”. I did worry about him hurting himself though.

Anyone catch the weird dance he did with his tongue out while trying to shake hands with the moderator? Classic “weird old guy” stuff right there.
