John, john, john..... Your forgetting that republicans don't ACTUALLY want to get anything done that would benefit the people. The game plan won't be coming from gramps anyway. It will come from the corporate elite, who don't give a shit about anything but their bottom line. If that means another war, so be it. God forbid one of their puppets goes off message and starts having idea's of their own, that would make them.....GASP, a democrat

Today's daily quote by Ms Thang Rodeo Queen Pill Poppin Mama Cindy McSame: "Oh Johnny didn't have no time fer pesky hearin's and suchlike. He's way too busy tryin' to memorize the notes I made about what he said yesterday."

B-b-but That's because Afghanistan isn't important, McCain believed: he was busy SURGIN' in Eye-rack! Gotta keep the McCain eagle eye on the Eye-rack ball, ya little jerks! Where Bush messed it all up with Rumsfeld, until McCain invented the Surge (just like Gore invented the Internet!) and then they greeted us as Liberators and we succeeded, AND where we are succeeding! And where we will succeed...for 50 years, maybe 100 years. Like Germany and Japan! Or, um, maybe 16 months--if conditions on the ground permit, or even 12 months--or less! If Dave Petraeus says so!

Er, there were cheering Colombians and Canadians for McShrub? I just took it he was outta the country instead of comforting the wounded troops. Obama can't help it people cheer him all over the world after bush.

We either say NO or we disallow NO to be said.
The coming election will define us as a people and a nation.
November will tell.

And I fear...I hope to hell I am wrong...we will be defined as racist idiots who prefer watching "American Idol" crap television to paying attention to what is going on with our corrupt government. Yes November is truly a defining moment. And I am scared shitless.

Me too, scared. There is a very good chance that McC will be elected outright or the vote will be close enough to be stolen by the neos. And if that happens, if this golden moment is lost, then we are lost.

Yeah, we all feel it. Will people rise to their better nature? That remains to be seen for people here. It is scary as hell...

I get that too. Earlier, I had a picture in my minds eye of someone voting in the voting booth for McShrub with sorta a mean narrow look but expecting Obama to win. Like, many people are going to vote for McShurb outta spite because they're mad Obama's better than they are or have ever been. You don't vote that way. Many are voting for McShrub but knowing Obama would be better. It's like, there, have at it but one last little fuck you. That's the mentality of too many in this country that McShrub might get in there.

Yes I've been thinking that there will be this middle class, indy, voter who will say to himself...."who the fuck does this uppity ni**er think he is?" They think that here is an Ivy educated man...shit I don't got an Ivy sheepskin...who is better looking, nicer, obviously wealthier...how dare they try for something like this. This is the way white trash think.

We have to remain upbeat and keeping hammering until November. It's the only way. I do have a good feeling, though. And Fall is almost here with cooler temperatures. Just over a month away. This is my favorite time of year. Right now anticipating those first cooling breezes in mid-September and then we get to vote.

You sound like an "autumn" soul. Autumn, that time of year when the leaves turn a thousand hues of brown, red, and yellow. Fall is my favorite time of year as well.
Let's keep the pressure on.

Visits with world leaders and speeches to cheering Colombians and Canadians
Funny...I don't recall any cheering Canadians. And , oh, the PM, Steven Harper, I'd hardly call him a world leader

Obama is constantly damned if he does, damned if he doesn't or can't by the GOP smear machine. This is designed by Rove to try to knock Obama off balance, hoping he makes any real mistake. They cynically depend on the short attention span of idiots in this country to fall for it, too. Don't forget Mr. Honorable War Hero McShrub approves of this strategy.

Why can't we discuss the real issues? Why you ask? Because the GOP would lose so we're always on the flag lapel pins and troop visits and such.
blackwolf

True, we can't discuss the issues, and it's the fault of the media. The media won't press the issues. They got no balls!
Nine points? The numbers are encouraging, and at the same time they are shameful.

HEY!!!! McCain doesn't need to attend no stinkin' meetings! He knows all he needs to know about Afghanistan......like that it borders Iraq :P

Why does that miserable old bastard McSame hate our soldiers? After everything America has provided him, including a $100 million dollar pill-poppin' Sugar Momma, you'd think he'd be at least appreciative enough to attend war-time hearings. Miserable old bastard deserves nothing but America's contempt.

He won't get America's contempt. No ones got the balls to call him on the carpet.

You guys may not have noticed that the last paragraph is verbatim what McCain and his campaign said about Obama (with a few words changed to make it relevant to McCain). Thus the "cheering" crowds. Otherwise, I think it's interesting to see McCain's exact words used against himself. Had Obama or a surrogate said this about McCain, they'd flip.

Be fair John!
"Matlock" was on TV- at the same time every single one of those meetings. What are the odds, huh?

Great information, but I'm wondering why the press doesn't call McCain on the carpet! I don't think the press is up on the issues. No ones got the balls to challenge the old man. What will it take for someone to grow a pair?
