Funny How John McCain Didn’t Publicize This Endorsement

Instead, it had to be publicized by the Obama campaign.

Shouldn’t really be surprizing, after all, in a campaign where ‘Joe the Plumber’ and ‘Tito the Builder’ are campaign characters, you knew this Mafia trope was going to make an appearance.

Sarah Palin – Just a Wee Bit Unsure on the Concept

So Sarah Palin is complaining that media criticism of her linking Barack Obama to Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright is violating her rights:

If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations,” Palin told host Chris Plante, “then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.

Actually. Sarah, that’s not the way the First Amendment works – tell you what, let’s look at the text:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So Sarah, if the Government criminalized your speech, then your First Amendment rights would be violated – the press can’t violate said rights, because they’re not the government. In fact, by criticizing you, the press are actually exercizing their First Amendment rights.

Hey, America – here’s a rhetorical question – if you’re going to elect some to place their hand on a Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America – shouldn’t that person actually know what the f**king document says!!!

Finally, an endorsement!

If there was any doubt that George Bush holds John McCain in contempt, it should be assuaged by the announcement today that Dick Cheney officially endorses John McCain.

In case you were wondering…

What the now-invisible George Bush is up to, he’s giving a big wet, tonguey, sloppy goodbye kiss to his corporate cronies. Unfortunately, not even a kiss on the back of the neck for the environment.

Excuse the profanities, but this shit is starting to hurt my head…

Can we stop this bull about taxes being socialist, please? Barack Obama is not a socialist. He is, unfortunately, not even nearly the socialist that I think the US needs, regardless of what that old tool, young tard, or thick not-plumber say he is. I am not sure what is more pathetic, that the McCain campaign thinks people are stupid enough to believe it or that enough Republican sycophants are echoing it in the hope that people *do* believe it.

Taxes, by their nature, redistribute wealth. They redistribute it into programs, infrastructure, defense, justice, all the things government needs to do to be a government. For fuck sakes, when I buy a coffee, I’m redistributing my meager wealth – there is nothing weird or new about any of this – wealth is only wealth when it’s redistributed. What Obama is talking about is talking about giving more money back, to the same fucking people that are whining about socialism, GAAAAH! I’ve had enough already! I mean, we’ve got “reporters” quoting Karl Marx to Joe Biden, for fucks sake. This is partisan bullshit, a foma that has become the wampeter of the McCain granfaloon.

If this bullshit wins enough votes that McCain wins the campaign, I give up. This election should not even be close – just can’t fucking believe this.

Stick a fork in the Necros…

It will be a long few days for John McCain. He has a minor rebellion on his hands as aides and backroomers take pot-shots at Sarah Palin (“diva”, “whack job”, etc.), polls show that his pick of VP is not well respected, and traditionally red states, include his own, Arizona, are turning purple before his watery, blinky, myopic eyes. There is almost no hope, outside of election chicanery, that he’s going to be able to hold on to most, let alone all of the Bush states. (And we know that nothing untoward and anti-democratic could happen this time, right?) Things have gotten so bad that it is looking like he even has to push hard this weekend in Arizona to win his home state.

The only hope, and this is a sick fucking thing to say, I know, the only hope the Republicans have is if they can keep people from voting. It’s too bad for McCain that Charlie Crist in Florida is pissed that he threw the VP bonie to Bible Spice, and has peevishly extended the voting hours so more people can get out to the advance polls. The nerve of that craven son of a bitch! Imagine, a Republican (of all things), trying to make an election democratic. Sheesh – has Criss learned nothing from TurdBlossom?

State governments elsewhere, unfortunately, don’t appear to be following suit.

I hate to kick a conservative dick when he’s down, so I’ll just, ah fuck, who am I kidding?

Ron Reagan’s son endorses Barack Obama.

Ronald Reagan’s chief of staff endorses Barack Obama.

Have a nice weekend, John and Sarah. Oh, and Sarah, you might want to take seriously any television offers thrown your way. Ask Geralding Ferraro, John Edwards, Joe Liebermann, and Dan Quayle how the run for president went after losing their kick at the veep seat. I guess it’s back to burning books and booking per diem’s for staying home.

Oh, and Nancy, let’s practice this together, shall we? “President Obama. President Barack Obama. President Barack Hussein Obama.“
