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

mccain's campaign is a real gusher right now

She is a one of the great political scholars of our times. xp

a finger-sized clog of mccain's campaign got stuck in palin's drain this morning and she had to fish it out

i swear to god she just said "i will bet my blonde hilights that if you line up both of these men's records side by side, you will vote for mccain."

paraphrasing, but the blonde highlights part is word for word

"say it to his face" is great because McCain simply can't do it, if he tries it'll be with the "my friends" patronizing, incredulous shrug he does whenever he attacks obama, like "am I the only person here who sees this? right folks?" which is not an effective demeanor for a direct asault on character -- it'd come across as chickenshit and damn well it should

It must be the ice or the money that I make (yeahhhh)
They talk behind my back but they won't say it to my face ho
Say it to my face (yeah) say it to my face (yeah)
They talk behind my back but they won't say it to my face (yeah)
It gotta be these cars or the trips that I take (what)
That make 'em wanna hate, won't you say it in my face bitch
Say it to my face (yeah) say it to my face (yeah)
They talk behind my back but they won't say it to my face (yeah)

meanwhile obama can plant his feet shoulder width apart, point his finger at john mccain, frown, and say "that's bullshit, john, and you damn well know it"

josh marshall: "When this is all over I do not know whether Obama and Biden will allow McCain to meet with his testicles without preconditions. "

Josh Marshall is my new favorite person.

Public Religion Research poll re: Catholic vote

Obama 51%
McCain 40%

naw man, biden is more like troy mcclure or something

lol yeah i was gonna say

http://www.slate.com/id/2201760

pretty great crush-of-shame blog: http://ohcrapihaveacrushonsarahpalin.blogspot.com/

favorite posts are the ones breaking down pentecostalism & palin's church-hopping

maybe if obama loses the elections because people stayed home because they thought it was a 'sure thing' THEN you can call the party complacent

that article is dumb

omg that blog confirmed the existince of Palin/Rice stories

end times

gotta love an article that claims americans are just republicans that democrats have to fool into voting for them

no shit -- like "we're winning! but you should feel nervous and bad about being in the lead. you are a bad shiftless democrat and you don't deserve victory even if you win." FUCK RIGHT OFF

lol at the pic of Martina Navratilova, tho

lol nader:

I've had a lot of hummus.

Hummus is nutritious.

And delicious.

It makes you stronger and healthier.

So, Bloomberg's report on the Lebanese claim to hummus got me to thinking about an idea that would help us raise funds to push our substantive agenda onto the front burner of American politics.

Here it is:

If you donate to Nader/Gonazlez by midnight tonight an amount that has the number three in it (three being the number of lemons in my mom's hummus recipe), we'll e-mail to you Rose Nader's hummus recipe tomorrow.

im seeing biden in like 3 hours so look for me on cnn after i call for the death of john mccain

kill him!

don't say it, biden might laugh!

(I say we let him goooooo.)

Start a "say it to his face" chant.

^^^ yes

early Palin days

Again, this makes me laugh.

anyone see the video of the harpie at fox news freaking out at http://ohcrapihaveacrushonsarahpalin.blogspot.com/

"THIS IS MORTIFYING THIS IS MORTIFYING!!!!!"

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/robert-schlesinger/2008/10/9/barack-obama-will-defeat-john-mccain--this-ones-over.html

god, i hope he's right. sorry if this was already posted.

kinda dumb to call the election more than 3 weeks out but hey a pundit's gotta make a living somehow

I am loving this "say it to his face" meme. McCain loses either way, because if he just keeps avoiding confrontation he looks like a pussy and if he does it he won't be able say it convincingly to anyone (including himself).

Also, if he "says it to his face", it'll sorta be on Obama's orders, right?

pretty much, yeah

yeah, as soon as he does it, O can come back with "oh yeah i was waiting for this..."

"Say It To His Face" FTW.

even if McCain doesn't address the topic directly, it'll go over just as bad. "I just want to take a minute and I wanna clear the air here. John, do you have anything to say to my face?"

"... my attractive, cancer-free, presidential mein which I call... my face?"

today at this lol town hall in wisc. everyone in the crowd was telling mccain to his face to say it to obama's face

Oh man, if McCain can be goaded into making some sort of "Oh I'll tell it to his face alright..." comment, next Wednesday's debate could bring classic lulz.

It's a great meme, but it could easily be dodged by McCain saying "I'll say that to your face once you say to MY face blah blah blah blah" or Sarah Palin can just say "sorry, I don't speak directly to those loony pals of terrorists. *squeee* :-D "

xp a neatly chiseled well groomed drop dead handsome face

although if Obama does say "blah blah blah blah blah" to McCain, figuratively or verbatim, that will definitely raise the game.

NOBODY calls me yellow!

Constantly under the watchful eyes of security, the media wasn't permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park to talk to Sarah Palin supporters. When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?''

in light of that Parking Lot Mob video upthread, this makes a lot of sense for them to do. but is it even legal?

not in a public space it's not.

if they were trying to get in to the four seasons or some shit then yeah, but no right to privacy in a puclic space, etc
