McCain/Palin Ticket Getting Desperate

by: Dean Barker

Sat Oct 04, 2008 at 15:10:08 PM EDT


With a third poll in two days showing a double digit lead for Obama in what's supposed to be a swing state, John McCain has decided to unleash his vacuous pitbull into the gutter:
Palin was referring to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. The group took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

In remarks to GOP donors in Englewood, Colo., on Saturday, Palin said Obama seems to see the U.S. as being so imperfect that, in her words, "he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

Shameless.  I can't wait until she becomes a sad, ridiculous footnote in the story of the GOP's decline and fall.

Alternate Title: I'm John McSame, and I approve this message.
Alternate Title #2: I'm Sarah Palin, and I approve of DC insider political slime tactics.
Alternate Title #3: My husband Todd, the secessionist, does not approve this message.
Alternate Title #4: I'm John McCain, and my running mate's witch doctor approves this message.
Alternate Title #5: Country First McCain suspends Wall St. crisis, unsuspends lowball campaign style.

What is good for the McSame is good for the gander (0.00 / 0)
If they unleash the Ayers  BS their is always for McCain the Keating Five Scandal to remind. we are already doing a good job on the fact that McCain instead of solving the insurance crisis wants to increase it by first taxing our insurance deductions then giving a $5000,00 person tax bereak to the insurance companies proving he's no maverick.

For Palin her recent history with her Brother-in-law should be plenty for consumption along with  Speaking in Tongues, firing her librarian in Wasilla for not following fascist evangelical demands.  I think we should look at her send the  National Guard off and the toxic chatter she let off that day to for plenty.

And there is a lot more where that came from.

So get ready friends, bring all farm implements along with the  brass knuckles baseball bats and chains for it will be a street fight.  And yes a bloody one.

What would Obama do? (0.00 / 0)
There are sane voters out there. Let's not turn them off to our brand.

When Barack talks about "same tired, old politics as usual," he means what McPalin is now doing.

Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us -- the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of "anything goes." Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there's the United States of America. -2004 DNC Speech, Barack Obama

What Obama Should Do If this gets worse (4.00 / 1)
The fact is  eventually if you keep getting  negative attacks one sticks.

Let us not forget Swift Boating, four years ago this attack was not countered and  the Dems lost the election and we suffered four more years of George Bush.

The tactic Obama is using right is good, reminding people of some of the things these jokers have done and will do.  However if these attacks become more personal and if they decide to go after family, then gloves are off. That includes giving someone respect for their Military Service.

Not in the shot

I'd support an amendment to that law (0.00 / 0)
Re: your alternate title #2, I'd be all in favor of changing the law to allow the VP nominee's voice to approve advertisements.

"I'm Sarah Palin, and I approved this message to give John McCain a degree of deniability."



I thought Gov. Palin (0.00 / 0)
didn't believe in looking back, into going back into the past and playing the blame game?

She must have been learning about Ayers (4.00 / 2)
in the 2nd grade, along with Biden's speeches.

The Message from Thursday - McPalin (0.00 / 0)
We have nothing to look forward to so we attack the guy looking forward by thinking backwards.

Not original to me but great description of Sarah P's view as (4.00 / 1)
evidenced by her debate comments:

Palindrome:  When going forward looks like going backward, and vice versa.

Wisdom in graffiti (4.00 / 1)
spotted on a restroom wall this evening at Keene State (h/t State Sen. Janeway):



Priceless!

Worth repeating...

(and just in case you were wondering, nobody else was in the room when I took the photo, I checked first to make sure somebody wasn't doing a stance thing somewhere. But then again, it's a college, not an airport...)


Dunno what happened to that link (0.00 / 0)
Here it is again:

Hm. Guess I can't embed image links anymore. (4.00 / 2)

Looks like maybe I jumped too soon, (0.00 / 0)
perhaps the problem was at the Picasa end (or some random DNS failure). Just the 'Net being the 'Net. Feel free to delete second post, Dean. No need for further bandwidth clutter.

Here's a nice ad (0.00 / 0)

Foul (0.00 / 0)
I have to call foul, regarding alternate title #4.

I watched it and listened to it, and all I retained is the guy saying "in the name of Jesus" over and over.

Sorry, but I think she's merely being a good sport with someone visiting her church, and calling her on it is out of bounds. This is "When in Rome," but Rome came to her church instead.

Todd's secessionist party is well in bounds, for the simple reason that Todd is clearly a close political adviser, not just her husband. If Michelle Obama belonged to a secessionst party, it would be all over the news, and not just Fox. It would be everywhere.
