2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

ugh yeah not only was it morally repugnant but it was ham fisted and stupid tactics too

there SHOULD be enough there to lambast her. i mean, either she was fully aware of this reprehensible policy and condoned it, which the majority of people are going to say is a very bad idea and discourages reporting crime in the highest rape-per-capita state in the union, OR she had no fucking idea what was going on in the town she purports she ran, making her a viable presidential candidate. which is it?

true that, actually. this is one of those times where the all the Wasilla is a town the size of a large winnebago and has a budget of two bits comparisons are actually useful.

nor was the issue about Palin's stance as out in the open as it was for Cheney in 2004

Sorry, meant the reverse here.

Wrt "Barracuda" at the RNC, Heart were very publicly appalled

Some 527 should do an ad where they show various diverse citizens from all over our great nation saying "I'd rather rim Meat Loaf!" in response to the question "how do you feel about voting for John McCain?"

"we asked a number of americans if they would vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin this november."
old lady with a walker: I'd rather rim Meat Loaf!
black guy in a suit: I'd rather rim Meat Loaf!
college kid with white-fro: I'd rather rim Meat Loaf!
rick ocasek-a-like: I'd rather rim Meat Loaf!
etc

I think it's FUNNY.

YESSSSSS

It didn't for Kerry in '04.

Kerry didn't have much of a leg to stand on, though, since he was as opposed to gay marriage as Bush/Cheney.

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.

I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbail✧✧✧@treas✧✧✧.g✧✧ so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson

A+++

seriously how do you fall from correctly shaming henry kissinger for war crimes to writing the kind of bullshit head-up-ass journey through the looking glass bullshit about mainstream party dems that's normally reserved for pseudoacademic handwringers like dinesh d'souza

the Famous Grouse is a cruel master

And to prepare, Sen. McCain will spar this week in mock debates with Michael Steele. Mr. Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland and a prominent black Republican, will play Sen. Obama and use many of his speaking patterns, tactics and body language.

are you serious

omg waht

to be fair barack will be sparring against a white dude so...

and biden is having a mock debate with mariska hartigay

this is freaky http://www.236.com/video/2008/sarah_palin_to_the_nth_power_9002.php

Tracer, your magna-cum-lolz handiwork is now hurtling through the Great Email Joke-o-sphere, where I hope it shall be fruitful and multiply.

and biden is having a mock debate with mariska hartigay

Well, he is having a mock debate with Gov. Jennifer Granholm, but I don't think she's going to be doing a Palin impression.

Certainly not a horrible impression, at any rate

EXPERTS PREDICT AN AL QUEDA OCTOBER SURPRISE.
September 22, 2008 - 10:58
Why would the terrorists interfere with the American election...they already have a candidate and they would only hurt his chances. CLICK HERE. If there is not a major terror attack in October, that could be the only reason.

"Whatever the New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization," said Schmidt on a conference call with reporters.

"It is a pro-Obama advocacy organization that every day attacks the McCain campaign, attacks Senator McCain, attacks Governor Palin, and excuses Senator Obama.

"This is an organization that is completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate, which is their prerogative to be, but let's not be dishonest and call it something other than what it is."

"It is an organization that has made a decision to cast aside its journalistic integrity and tradition to advocate for the defeat of one candidate -- in this case, John McCain."

The McCain campaign complaints were reminiscent of comments by the campaign of former Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton, which claimed the media was giving Obama an easy ride and not properly "vetting" his candidacy.

Schmidt's outburst came in specific response to a question about a story in Monday's paper which said McCain campaign manager Rick Davis had lobbied for 30,000 dollars a month for five years to defend mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

I want to see Tracer's email on Snopes in no more than four days.

Just sent it to a few friends, will encourage them to send to gullible famz. All mine are lol high-info Dems.

omgfg its 6:30 in the am why the fuck am i awake

I didn't write that!!

I would have done it better, obv

George Will: McCain, you goof

I was about post that. "McCain: you hothead."

Is the "McCain = crazy" meme really starting to take off, or is it just me?

Meanwhile Stanley Kurtz persists in pushing the Obama = radical story

http://thepage.time.com/more-from-the-nbc-news-florida-poll/

Obama winning 43% of FL hispanic vote. Gore won 34%.

What happens if he loses Penn. or Mich. (which are the most likely Kerry losses, I believe) but takes Florida?

why do we care about a wingnut nobody again? xxp
