What is going on!?! I have always been a middle of the road democrat. I fall on the liberal side for some issues and the conservative side for others. While I’ve never ruled out voting for a republican, I have only ever voted democrat. I have spent the last few years gorging myself on the Bush’s admin polices, actions, cronyism, incompetence and deceitfulness just to vomited out tirade after tirade about the illegality of the man and everyone surrounding him. I have taken criticism for speaking out against a sitting President and have been called unpatriotic because I asked questions and didn’t support the ridiculous answers given. I have become polarized against the GOP over the last 8 years because of the likes of Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Gonzales and Libby. For many millions of middle of the road democrats it has been a long 8 years, a tough 8 years hell, even a painful 8 years. But I have waited for the day when finally I get to do my part to rid the country of a Republican President and switch things up a little to help us get back a little closer to center.

So why I am looking at John McCain to be the next president?

What is wrong with this picture? I am attacking the only man who can bring about the change I so crave. I am attacking in the same way I attack Gonzales and his 72 “I don’t recall’s”. I am attacking him the same way I attacked Scooter Libby’s “The vice president told me to leak classified information to discredit Wilson”. I’m ranting about him the same way I ranted about “Good job Brownie”.

Why do I loathe and distrust the only democratic hope for president?

Because I know nothing about him. Well, I know that he will say whatever he needs to about any issue just to get votes. If your area doesn’t like off-shore drilling when comes there and gets in front of a TV or reporter he’ll tell you that he doesn’t approve of it either.

If your area seems to be ok with the idea, he’ll tell that well, he’s not really against off shore drilling.

If your for the rights of the people of the country and don’t believe the government should be able to do wiretap and listen in on it‘s citizens phone calls and the telecom companies shouldn’t get immunity, then he is with you. If you think that telecom companies should get retroactive immunity for illegally wiretapping the public and are for a bill that allows the government to keep on tapping it’s people, then he is with you too.

If you are against dirty politics in a campaign race and are just plain tired of the mudslinging. Obama is right there with you. In fact he doesn’t miss the opportunity to call people out for making things dirty. Of course it doesn’t bother him to go out imply that the only woman running has PMS when he said… ’periodically’ she has her ‘up’s and down’s’.

What is it about him that people support so whole heartedly. Yesterday’s headlines were, PELOSI HOLDING FIRM, BLOCKING OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING VOTE followed by “Obama shifts position on offshore oil drilling… *” If that is not the biggest slap in the face to Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, what is? The FISA vote obviously wasn’t a hard enough slap because they just took it and kept going, so what will they do this time?

My guess? Nothing. What can they do. Dean and Pelosi did all they could to get one person out of the race that people knew everything about it in favor putting in the man no one, not even his ‘grass roots’ know anything about until he decides to tell them. But even that doesn’t matter because in the next town or the next speech he’ll just change his mind and tell those people what they want to hear. Even his pastor told us he would do that. Why nobody believed the man’s spiritual adviser to him and children for 20 years is still a mystery to me.

How can I vote for a man that has no one stance on any issue? Whose only accomplishment so far is that he can read a script off the teleprompter and make me believe him the same way Heath Ledger read his script and made believe he really was as evil as the Joker.

Maybe that’s what it is. In our fast-food, Hollywood celebrity sycophant society, we are drawn to the one who gives us the best ‘after school special’ speeches. We don’t have to hold him to those speeches and promises, because it’s TV and this is just a role he’s playing and like any good actor he can say what he wants and we forget what he just said the last time we saw him. Just look at Kevin Costner’s speeches in Bull Durham

and JFK

See, we can believe both depending on what ‘role’ he’s in. We don’t have to know what he truly stands for, we just have to believe in him.

The sad fact is we didn’t know anything about Obama when this all started. But he could sure talk. We threw out the people who had been around, who were known to the world, who policies and ideas and votes we could track and trace. We wanted flash and pizzazz and we got it. The republicans tried to do the same but ultimately chose the one with a past and a congressional record that is as long as War and Peace. Funny how the Democrats mocked them for this. Mocked the GOP for thinking they could put an old man with a 30+ year public past up against the new and fresh no-name from Chicago.

What I wouldn’t give now for someone with an actual stable record. Someone I can trust on Thursday to say the same thing on Friday.

Obama isn’t Presidential because of his senatorial voting, his political history, his 300 advisers, his “meet the Messiah” world extravaganza… he’s presidential because he watched “Jeb Bartlett” and learned how to give a good “episode ending, goose-bumpy” speech. So let’s reward him for that. But let that reward be an Oscar or an Emmy and save the Oval Office for someone with an actual plan.

Rumors have been swirling that Obama,Dean and Pelosi are trying to negotiate Hillary’s name off of the ballot at the Convention next month. It seems they don’t mind her being on the ballot as long as it’s as a symbolic, roll-call gesture . They want her name on the ballot, they just don’t want placed on the ballot for nomination.

Neither Obama nor Hillary won enough votes to secure the nomination. Obama may have 390 more of them if all the super delegates who pledged to him actually vote for him at the convention. But with his shine getting a little a duller and with 18 million voters voting for Hillary, having her name as a nominee on the ballot and having to listen to all her delegate vote for her would make his ass pucker. All it would take is for her to have prime placement in the speeches and just knock it out of the park. The amount of delegates she has and the problems with his incessant flip-flopping could remind the delegates that she really does have a damn good chance of beating McCain. If she, or Bill were to remind them that her poll numbers against McCain were better than the 46% he and Obama share now…. Who knows what could happen and that’s why he needs to get her of the nominating ballot.

So what can he do about that? Well he can use his political influence to make sure that she is taken off the ballot as a nominee and placed there just as his symbolic 2nd. He’s done this before. Obama only likes to win when he’s uncontested. When Alice Palmer, the former state senator who picked Obama to be her successor back in the mid-90s wanted back on the ticket, he had her kicked off. The problem with Hillary is that there is no legal reason to have her bumped off the ballot. More than that though, if her voters aren’t allowed to vote for her then it’s game on and party unity my ass.

It would be quite embarrassing to Obama if there was a open-air-stadium-like response to Hillary getting on stage and giving a blow-out speech.. This is his shining moment and Hillary can’t be allowed to outshine him once again. But at the same time, Obama wants to project a ‘party-unity’ that just isn’t there. In order to keep that faux-appearance, Hillary just can’t be on the ballot and steal the sunshine from his over-whelming, ever engorging ego. It would ruin his grand plan to take over the world.

Don’t think he has a plan?

Ha-ha Ha-ha Ha-ha

He’s going to give his outdoor stadium speech on the 45th anniversary of MLK “I have a dream” speech while being the 1st nominee to give an outdoor speech since JFK did it in 1960. Yeah, someone is a little full of himself huh?

Here’s the thing. I don’t really give a rat’s ass if it’s embarrassing to Barack Obama. His people screamed like little bitches that Michigan shouldn’t count because he wasn’t on the ballot when they are the ones who took him off. So could you imagine the screaming and race-crying if there was a plan in the mix to get him placed on the ballot as a token 2nd choice? I think Motley Crue, The beatles and Charles Manson had a prediction for that scenario called “Helter Skelter”

This Manson predicted scenario is really just one wrong move from happening as it is. If the press caves, if Obama misteps in such a way that it just can’t be ingored we might have to call Charlie “profit” instead of whack-o-nut. But it would take alot to make the press go against the messiah I mean have you read a story on Obama? The other day there was a story that comics can’t even make fun of him, in that story the writer says

“But there has been little humor about Obama: about his age, his speaking ability, his intelligence, his family, his physique”

Is he Adonis or something? Maybe he’s Jesus? Or maybe he’s the reincarnation of Budda himself .

Jon Stewart tried to make fun of him, but met resistance from the audience. He had to tell them “You know, you’re allowed to laugh at him.”

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm ….Did Jim Jones’ followers ever laugh at him?

Every week I decide I am going to have to swallow my hatred and get on the ball and get the bad stuff out about McCain. Because there really is a lot of stuff out there….. I mean look at this response to a question about his surrogate saying that some health insurance will pay for viagra and not birth control and women would like to have the choice (response at about 5:00).

Could you imaging him being asked a really important question? HA!

Anyway, every week I want to change. I hope that I can finally sit down and do something positive about Barack or if not positive then something about McCain. But every week Barack tweaks my ire with something else and I completely forget about the crazy old man that might just be our next president and I shouldn’t.

This man is just as dangerous and the other one.

How in the hell did we get these 2 “unelectables in a sane year” as our only 2 choices?

Three words

George W Bush.

Yes, that’s right. What kind of liberal rant would this be without putting some kind of blame on Bush? But it’s true. The DNC figured that no matter what and no matter who, they had this election in the bag. The republicans could clone Ronald Reagan and it wouldn’t matter. George Bush fucked this country up so bad and didn’t give one shit about it that anyone running as a (D) would win.

Look say what would want, but even McCain knows this and is doing everything in his power to avoid being linked to Bush.

So the DNC is all it’s wisdom gave us…. No forced upon us.. A liberals wet-dream. No the wet-dream isn’t a woman… No-no… the true liberal wet dream is a good looking black man. Harold Ford jr would have been my choice, but his skeletons have already been vetted out so a no name senator would have do. Hopefully he could get the nomination and election before they were weeded out by the press. But if not, what to do?

Then, a “Karl Rove like” idea was formed.

Anytime anyone dissed this candidate, scream racism.( Which as you know is the liberal kryptonite.) Scream it at every charge and eventually no one will make any more charges and if the do they can be put off as people who just don’t like blacks.

Howard Dean may not have known about Obama deciding to do the open-air stadium rapture until he saw it on the news, but he damn sure knows his liberals.

The problem is liberals don’t just sit silent and fall in with the party-line because the party wants them to. But to silence them forever Dean and his subordinates can only do one more thing to ensure the nomination goes to the exalted one. Get Hillary off the ballot at the convention.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I hope The Denver Group accomplishes it’s goal. Because Hillary may be an old school politician, but she is still better and saner than anyone else out there. The question is though, are more and more people with the power to do something about it paying attention?

Get Osama Bin Laden before I leave office, orders George W Bush

Ok…….. Here it is. This is the October surprise we’ve all been waiting for.
President George W Bush has enlisted British special forces in a final attempt to capture Osama Bin Laden before he leaves the White House.
Defence and intelligence sources in Washington and London confirmed that a renewed hunt was on for the leader of the September 11 attacks. “If he [Bush] can say he has killed Saddam Hussein and captured Bin Laden, he can claim to have left the world a safer place,” said a US intelligence source.

And there you have it. I expect to see the Brits capture Ole Binny by about Oct. 1st. (give or take a week or 2). We’ve all wondered and said in quiet that the US has had Bin Laden stashed somewhere and just brings him out to make a new tape when something bad about the administration is about to come out. So now we will finally put this issue to bed once and for all.

We won’t capture him. That can’t happen. We can’t trust him to keep his mouth shut about the hotel in Bora-Bora he’s been living in all this time. Not that he would intentionally give it up, but he might accidentally flub somehow and that’s way too much of a risk. No, we won’t capture him alive. What we will do is find his ‘lair’ and bomb it and send in soldiers to find the body. Which they will and like Uday and Qusay Hussein, his body will be shown on a morgue gurney for all the news around the world to photograph. Then Bush can go out a hero. He can finally lay claim that “he left the world a safer place”

Mark the date, I am calling it now. If my prediction comes to fruition and I disappear…. Send money in lieu of flowers to my family… ;)

If only they were all like this.

Okla. Dem calls Obama liberal, declines to endorse

Democratic Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma said Tuesday Barack Obama is “the most liberal senator” in Congress and he has no intention of endorsing him for the White House.
Boren, the lone Democrat in Oklahoma’s congressional delegation, said that while Obama has talked about working with Republicans, “unfortunately, his record does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion.”
Boren, a self-described centrist, is seeking a third term this year in a mostly rural district that stretches across eastern Oklahoma.
“We’re much more conservative,” Boren said of district. “I’ve got to reflect my district. No one means more to me than the people who elected me. I have to listen them.” He called Obama “the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate.”
Hillary Rodham Clinton carried Boren’s district with 66 percent of the vote in the state’s presidential primary in February

I’m not really sure what it means that he won’t endorse him but he will still vote for him. I can only assume that it means he just won’t go out and stump for him, but will vote for BHO because he is the democratic nominee. What I admire is that he is one of almost none who is listening to his constituents that didn’t want Obama as the democratic nominee.

Why hold elections at all if our representatives or electoral colleges aren’t going to follow what we want? Bill Richardson should have been more like this guy. Richardson said in a February interview with The New York Times, when asked how superdelegates should vote.

“It should reflect the vote of my state, it should represent the vote of my constituency,” he told the newspaper at the time.

And then went on to backpedal and endorse Obama.. He excused this backstabbing by saying

First, they say the superdelegates should reflect the will of the people of their states. Well, we have Sen. Kennedy and Sen. Kerry saying they’re going to vote for Obama even though Sen. Clinton won by 13 points in Massachusetts. … The voters of New Mexico chose Sen. Clinton. If we follow the Obama line, Bill Richardson should be for Sen. Clinton.”

“Yes, but, Eddie, by half a percent — come on,” Richardson responded, in a reference to the slight margin by which Clinton won New Mexico.

I guess a one win run in the world series don’t really count… because it’s just one run, right?
Whatever dude, he ain’t going to pick you as VP.. So you can get your lips off his ass now, Hillary’s conceded. But the Clinton memory is long on who is and who isn’t loyal to them

It takes balls to do what Boren’s doing and I applaud him for it. Another one I applaud is Ted Strickland, Ohio Governor and HRC supporter. When asked what he would say if picked for BHO’s Vp his answer was

“If drafted, I will not run; nominated, I will not accept; and if elected, I will not serve,” Strickland said in the interview. “So, I don’t know how more crystal clear I can be.”

He was just too busy to take a Vice President slot this summer doing a Cornhole Tournament Tour

Wow…. That’s kinda funny. “sorry, I can’t be you Veep because have a cornholers tournament to attend” HA!

But of course he will do what is needed to get a democrat elected.

If you only had some kind of outlet to say this when you saw it happening….

Nice…….. Real Nice

Look if the Arabs want to buy what’s left of NYC skyline.. Then who am I to bitch about it…Not my city, not my skyline… but the irony can’t be ignored.. Can it?
But hey look, it won’t be too bad. They can be new neighbors with the Italians, who just bought the Flatiron Building That seems to be the trend these days. The dollar is so bad against the Euro, that investor in the EU and in the rich Arab countries are buying up pieces of America’s landscape piece by piece.

Why couldn’t they have bought this bozo?

We’d have sold him off cheap…Hell we’d have given a great deal “Buy one George W Bush and get a Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld” free.

Oh wait… The House of Saud already did.

Update…

This might piss some people off..

Belgian-Brazilian brewing giant InBev wants to buy Anheuser-Busch. I’m willing to bet this will piss more people off that the Chrysler building, Flatiron Building, and Bush garage sale to the House of Saud combined.

Why is Jon Stewart news?

Why are blogs news?

Because if it wasn’t for these media outlets noone would know about the “Phase II” report on how the Bush administration used — and abused — pre-war intelligence in the run-up to the war in Iraq.

This story is not on Cnn, Msnbc,Fox, or even this asshat…. No this story is on the blogs and Daily Show.

1st let me say this. Anyone who wants to say “blogs aren’t real news” go piss up a rope. You wouldn’t know that Congress found our leader and his band of merry men lied to us if it wasn’t for blogs.
Same goes with Jon Stewart. So STFU.. You’re just jealous because you don’t have your own outlet that people enjoy reading.

Now.. The story.

Yes, we’ve all “known” Bush and Cheney lied to make this war. We’ve all “known” that they the made up Intel, went against security reports, out and out fabricated (lied) and exaggerated the threat like a 7th grade pre-pubescent boy exaggerates his dick size and the orgy he had with a couple of hot blonds who (always) lives 7 states away. But now we don’t just “know”…… we Know!

Phase 2
Report on whether public statements regarding Iraq by US Government Officals were substantiated by intelligence information.

Let me save you the trouble……… NO! The statements were not supported by diddle shit.

“his regime has amassed large clandestine stockpiles of chemical weapons, including VX and Sarin and mustard Gas—Donald Rumsfeld Testimony before the House arms and Services Committee, 9/18/02″

“He’s got chemical weapons:he needs to get rid of them, all of the” –George W Bush 9/26/2002

“They have amassed large clandestine stocks of biological weapons including anthrax and possibly smallpox. They have amassed large clandestine weapons including VX and sarin and mustard gas. His regime has an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons”—Donald Rumsfeld, remarks to ROA, 1/20/03

Lie… Lie…. Lie….

“each passing day could be the one on which the Iraqi regime gives anthrax or Vx–nerve gas–or some day and nuclear weapon to a terrorist ally”–George W Bush, remarks in the Rose Garden, 9/26/2002

Lie

It goes on for pages and pages….. Lies, exaggeration not substantiated by the intelligence, deceptive misinformation… why in the hell is this not news?

No…. scratch that……. Why in the hell is he still in office? Jesus Christ run him out at the end of a sharp stick already. I’ve been told that I just hate Bush so I can’t be objective. WTF? He lied about invading a country,. Killing 1000’s of people, destroying everything he could get his weasel little fingers on… and killed the President of the country… and I should take his side? I should stand at allegiance and support him? Are you fucking kidding me?

Look, I admit that I don’t like the man. But when the hell will you admit that he fucked up and he fucked up big time? When can you admit that standing by his side is like standing by the bastard child of Hitler and Pol Pot. He invaded and over threw a sovereign nation and executed their leader… Support him? Adore him? Ignore and excuse him? There isn’t enough kool-aid in the world.

Srlys? A fucking blow job is worse than this?

We are retarded… …
