More about the Yule Goat
Glad I had read this earlier:
Obama responds: 'Downright perverse'
Obama's camp hits back hard at a new McCain ad criticizing his support, in the Illinois State Legislature, for sex ed beginning in kindergarten:
“It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls – a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds.

typical Rethuglicans...damned if you do, damned if you don't...
All the press and media have to do is report the TRUTH and let the chips fall where they may. How the hell can the media be buying this "reform/ maverick" act. For god's sake, the man has been in Congress over 26 years, the last 8 with his head up Bush's ass. Even minimal intelligence would ask the question, "Why haven't your reform Washington in the last 26 years. Minimal intelligence would ask "What have you done in the past 8 years to reform Washington"
Obama asked "Do they think we are stupid?" The answer, a resounding YES.
Hahahahahahahaahaha! this is fun.
Anyway, wouldn't Johnny be a poison puffer fish?
And gee, I hate to bring it up. Wait. No, I LOVE to bring it up - Hillary Clinton would NEVER have let this happen.
With HRC the fight would be much uglier...McCain can't look like an overt racist.
Run like you are losing
GEEZ. Get your head outta the sand.
Are you Joe Scarborough?
* yes, I called them dogs.
or a crappie?
Not Dancing with the Stars...

On I think a good note regarding the polls, it's the same information I read about McCain at least 3 days ago, and they are still saying the same thing. Looks good for Obama.
KKKarl's fffinger...
Don't go making your friends all hot an steamy...
For that which longer nurseth the disease,
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve
Desire is death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are,
At random from the truth vainly express'd;
For I have sworn thee fair and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

The Abramoff corruption probe has already snared one GOP Congressman, Bob Ney, and implicated a few more, most prominently Rep. John Doolittle of California. But could there be another to add to the list: Rep. Heather Wilson of New Mexico?
Manufactured OUTRAGE! How dare they??? (Say the Rs as they point their fingers at the Dems while hiding their trashy lies behind their backs).
Anyway... I'll bet Gov. Swift's 9 and 7 year old kids understand metaphor better than their mom or the McCain camp. My pastor once said that religious fundamentalists are metaphorically challenged (in re their understanding of the Bible); obviously this challenge bit extends to Republicans and folksy sayings as well.
Hannah, who howled with laughter while reading this... and hey I laughed at Bill-O tonight too. He *is* trying to be funny, isn't he? Or at least a parody of himself?
Early voters will start filling out their ballots in a little more than ONE MONTH!!!
YIKES!
Are we being asked to vote on a pig in a poke?? Lipstick no extra charge.
I don't know about you, but I don't want a Vice President who is a heart beat away from being President, who can't even meet the American press and address her apparent LIES.
Anybody else recall that?
Same friggin' strategy. Take something out of context, turn it around and frame him with it.
Ya know....he's so uppity.
She was Lt. Governor for Paul Celluci. (sa LOO chee) Did I spell him correctly?
Celluci left to become Ambassador to .... Quebec? Montreal? Nova Scotia? ROFL! Somewhere up there ...
Jane became "acting" Governor and caused a mini-scandal because she took a State plane home, a couple of times, from Boston to North Adams (?), which is about the furthest North and West you can go in Massachusetts.
She attempted a legitimate run for Governor, but the State Republican party threw her under the bus when Mittens showed up and needed the job to begin the onward march of his ambition to become President.
Jane repaired, with her tail between her legs, to North Adams and was promptly forgotten.
Now she's re-appeared as the National Chair of the Sarah Palin Truth Squad.
I would never have believed it.
It was as if she had never heard that metaphor used for things other than just women. The conservatives are turning every little thing into something sexist.
Brilliant move, now let's press Palin on the women's issues, shall we?
lipstick.

We are being cheated people. Cheated out our 1 chance to REALLY make a difference in our children's lives. McCain talks about change then turns around and hires Steve Schmidt to head his campaign. The same man who ran Bush's campaign in '00. The same man who was behind the smear campaign AGAINST MCCAIN in SC by suggesting his adopted black daughter was really his illegitimate love child!!! Does that matter to McShame? HELL NO!!! Its all about winning now and ALL the stops are being pulled out. Lets face it, at his age (72) this is his last shot at the Oval office and he's going to do EVERYTHING to acheive his goal. Even run the kind of negative campaign he swore he wouldn't. Even if it means using Karl Rove behind the scenes. After all, "Bush's Brain" did such a great job beating him before, didn't he???
Matter of fact, I think its time to take this criminal out of the equation don't you?!?

Wake up people...Our country needs you to make the right choice! Eight is Enough!!!!!!
That's just weird.

It's fine when McCain uses the same expression directed at Hillary but it's wrong when Obama is directing it at the republican ticket.
Do you smell some hypocrisy here?
No more crocodile tears!
That's not going to help America when she might meet Putin or other enemies.
If Palin can't play in the the 'big league' with the 'good old boys', mabe she should take her lipstick and go home.
What is Hillary doing? She would be the best speaker to address this issue?

Well, it’s official! American fast food makes us fat & it kills our brain cells, too.
The whole world is cringing over idiot McSame.
Do we have to force another idiot on ourselves, the world? Wake up America!
Britain's Gordon Brown has praised Sen. Barack Obama in a commentary published Wednesday, seemingly breaching protocols that prevent world leaders from endorsing candidates in foreign elections.
"In the electrifying U.S. presidential campaign, it is the Democrats who are generating the ideas to help people through more difficult times," Brown wrote in Parliamentary Monitor magazine.
BEFORE the McSame Camp starts whining -AGAIN- about being offended:
Brown broke protocol with this but McBush defied the United Nations when he got us and the Brits into this nasty wrongheaded Iraq occupation. They’ve stuck with us long enough, during this ridiculous Iraq fiasco, that they should be able to say whatever the hell they want this election year.
GO OBAMA/BIDEN Vote for responsible change! Vote for a better America!
FOR ALL AMERICAN WORKERS
FOR AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
FOR REBUILDING AMERICA’S INFRASTRUCTURE
In truth there are two candidates in this race whose celebrity and curb appeal outweigh their apparent qualifications and that started with Obama whose novelty has garnered a wave of unearned but loyal support from the "he got me at hello' fans who shun any and all questions about their guys lack of credentials, his associations, and his degree of left tilt.
If a celebrity fight is a must, then I'm glad we have a dog (or pig) in that fight but I truly wish we could get to substance. In a substance only contest, this country would reject any avowed left leaning, rubber stamp for the most dismal congress brought by the circus of personalities placing politics before country.
