DISQUS

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

The Wikipedia entry on Rick Davis reveals him to be a filthy parasite on the body politic, an Abramoff-linked poobah in the bully-boy College Republicans of the early 1980s, a pig feeding at McCain foundation troughs since 2001 (to the tune of almost $400K a year), and a lobbyist for the vile Verizon corporation. Now he presumes to tell us he is running a principled campaign against Obama.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

Rick Davis, lobbyist.

McCain likes to pretend he has nothing to do with lobbyists.

Jessica54 · 1 year ago

A former-POW and longtime senator is "proud" of an advertisement that shows less maturity than that of an average high schooler. Whatever, McCain has no ideas whatsoever; so, the only thing he can do is bring up Britney and Paris. At least Britney has a mental disorder; what's McCain's excuse? It seems as if his campaign is being run by a pack of monkeys who don't know what the hell they're doing.

OlderAndWiser · 1 year ago

And the equally filthy Jon Kyl says this ad is supposed to be part of a "campaign narrative" while he was debating with Kerry on Lurch's show. He lost, but not before he also said that Obama was "narcissistic" and insulted Kerry...oh, and Lurch also said both sides were running "negative" ads. Christalmighty.

What a stupid bastard.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

But darlings...THIS WORKS! The reason Karl Rove and his minions are doing this shit is because it works. It works because America is crawling with white trash Neanderthals...and they are voters.

ron071 · 1 year ago

Where have the Obama negative ads been shown? I somehow can't recall seeing even one?

Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago

Hey, be happy he didn't invoke Mary Pickford.

however, it wouldn't surprise me if he started quoting Alistair Crowley.

Tonight's quote from Ms Thang Rodeo Queen Pillpoppin' Sugarmama Cindy McSame:

"Oh Johnny just loves him some Brittany! Sometimes, when Johnny's Viagra ain't kickin' in real good, we play her video of 'I support President Bush...afterall he is our President.' and Johnny's Johnson just pops into action! Oh my does it! Well anyway...he just loves him some Spears! She's such a nice Christian girl, too! So nice to her mama. And such a good parent! I mean she's the poster child for family values! Yes, Johnny and I are proud to be in commercials with Brittany! He plans to make her Secretary of State! Well all for now, possums, I need to pack some luggage to move to ANOTHER mansion because Johnny's Johnson has exhausted my puss puss over Brittany this week. Oh and BTW the Scottsdale Chanel store is having a sale! Buh Bye!

There are forces at work behind the scenes in our government that reach far beyond the problems these two clowns are presenting to the American voter. It is appalling to me that American citizens condone this kind of back and forth banter between these two fauxe candidates. It's time Americans woke up and faced the fact that America's real problems aren't going to be solved by the candidates the two parties are presenting. It is also apparent that our congress has been bought and owned by the same powers that pull the strings of the president. Get off your dead asses, people, and start stomping the streets like they did in the 70's. Al Gore invented this here Internets for the sole purpose of turning Americans into a bunch of lazy, whining bastards.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

Spot on, ClassAct. Spot on. ....Lazy. Fat. and stupid. That is why I worked very hard to restore the Draft. It would rekindle those forces to try to stop some of this. And that is why they knew they could never restore it. I am very happy to be 57 so I do not have to live to see what is down the road.

ClassAct · 1 year ago

You're absolutely correct about that draft!

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

during Vietnam, it was all about the same bullshit...military
industrial corporate controlling Washington power.
Nothing changed. But this time they knew better...no draft...just kill
off those po' black kids from Newark who wanted some education or job
skills. And we'll get 2 terms with our flag waving stunts.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

well get out there. i don't see you stomping the street.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

And just where and how would I do that? I would love to. And no one would listen or care about the old fart hippy on his soap box.

Polly_Tics · 1 year ago

Might I ask you a personal question? What on earth is an old fart hippy doing in DALLAS o all places? AND how do manage to exist day to day?

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

Well I came out of the closet about ten years ago in New England. It was
amicable because my ex wife came out first...yup...a gay man married a
Lesbian...oh well...it was all happy ending with one grown child and new
beginnings began, as it were. Out of the blue I got a job offer in Fort
Worth, next to Dallas, and decided, well why not...time to start over and
have fun. Well, one or two boyfriends later, I moved eastward to Big D.

I have stayed here for two reasons: my partner and a very good job and VERY
cheap cost of living here because housing is a fraction of what it is
elsewhere.

Dallas is actually, all kidding aside, very cosmopolitan in many ways. One
is hard pressed to find a real native Texan in this town. Everyone here is a
transplant. Yes...it's a nouveau riche town with awful big car values. BUT
it is also not nearly as Bible Belt as much of the rest of the state. I like
Dallas a lot because it's a manageable city...big town feeling but still not
like LA or NYC. And as I said above, cost of housing here is dirt
cheap...OMG...you can get a fabulous house or apartment with tons of space
for under a thou a month...total. I mean really gorgeous places, too.
Apartment complexes here are nicer than many upscale condos in the
Northeast.

But having said all that, the place is crawling with "W" stickers on
Hummers.

The summers are brutally hot but winter here is so mild compared with Boston
or Manhattan. I would never go back home to New England now. Life is easier
here.

Polly_Tics · 1 year ago

I understand the "life here is easier" construct very well, I too relocated (from Manhattan) to Northern California. Nice weather has a HUGE pull, especially when coupled with a slower pace, but the cost of living out here is equal to what Manhattan-ite's are paying. The produce, weather, wine and cheese are sublime, but the day to day cost of living is really getting unmanageable. We were paying OVER $5.00 a gallon a couple of weeks ago (haven't looked since but I hear it has decreased somewhat).

So I get the ease of living thing, but it's more of the "surrounds" thing that I wonder about. I don't know if I could live in an area that was so consistently hard right as where you are currently. Mind you, I am living in a community that is VERY Republican, but the area by and large is quite left leaning.

(Sigh) So who knows, if I had a great home maybe I could live in Texas, but it is so hard for me to imagine. I heard Austin is a great community, but the last time I was in Dallas the heat was HORRID (I don't do well in the heat). I told the concierge that I was planning to "walk" to the mall and they just about fell on themselves. They told me I could NOT walk there for the heat was too much.

WOW, I like to walk and you know, they were right...the heat was too much for me, so I ended up taking a cab (5 blocks!).

Were you able to find a group of people with whom could become friends out there? That is the part of the equation that I wonder about most of all.

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

I am used to the heat of summers here now. I ride an electric bike to work
and during summer vacations. The hybrid motor makes riding up a slight hill
in the summer bearable. I do NOT miss Boston winter.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

actually, BQiD, that comment was directed at classact...

i get mad when people say get out and march, get off your fat lazy typing ass and do something...because i'd so love to get out there and do something big too, but no one else seems interested...

Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago

Well I did get off my lazy ass this summer. I've been working quietly from
home helping the IT department at Obama's campaign. I put in three hours a
day (I am off all summer). They've been ever so grateful and it's been fun
meeting other Obama fans "virtual".

tlsintx · 1 year ago

that is fantastic. i think that's the new 'stomping the streets'...

ron071 · 1 year ago

How can you equate these two candidates? Clearly, you have not been following the campaigns very long. You don't seem to be a " ClassAct".

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Beg to differ: he IS the same man he was eight years ago, only worse (old age is a personality intensifier).

ron071 · 1 year ago

Mrs. Richards clearly knows the history of McBush. He has not changed but has been more exposed nationally with greater frequency.

coolcatdaddy · 1 year ago

Hey, be happy he didn't invoke Mary Pickford.

Please ... don't mention the talented Pickford in the same breath as Brittney Spears.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

Obama's campaign just sent me an email making a very good point.

McCain's ads are mocking my enthusiasm. mocking me. mocking my excitement and hope.
yeah. that's right.

Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago

someone needs to remake this... using 'leave john mccain ALONE!!!!'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWSjUe0FyxQ

runny mascara is optional... but it'd be funnier if it were a drag queen who did the remake.

bejammin075 · 1 year ago

So sad. I liked McCain a lot better when he was just like Luke Skywalker flying into the Death Star. Now he's more like the Emperor.

Steve_in_CNJ · 1 year ago

stupid! mccain just lost 2 huge celebrity endorsements through collateral damage. Britney should get an invitation to speak at the denver convention.

red_dwarf · 1 year ago

McShank and Spears - now there's a team.

" I thought that impeachment would be divisive for the country. "

Nacy Pelosi, when asked about the impeachment of W. Would someone with a Law degree, or academic training in American Jurisprudence, or the Constitution, please explain to me (and all of us) where in the f(ck in the constituion it says that Impeachment is based on what the Speaker of the House thinks?

God is our country lame, and that includes the spineless Democrats. Better hope in Obama, it's all the country has left.

ron071 · 1 year ago

red-dwarf: The Pelosi decision was a political one. There are bigger fish to fry now rather than get diverted by a detour.

red_dwarf · 1 year ago

ron071 - I hear ya, and I understand the political argument, and, in some cases, perhaps it might apply. Here's the issue however. The founding fathers knew that if a President committed crimes he might use the "pardon power" to pardon those who committed the crimes with him - not to mention set precedence for further abuse of power. The founding fathers argued that a President should be impeached to prevent pardoning fellow criminals through the pardon power - which of course Bush will do. I suppose one could argue that the pardons could be overturned in the future - but I don't see Obama doing that - the damage to the Consitution and to what's left of our Democracy (which the founding fathers also argued could not exist without a free Press) - may be irreversible. Impeachment is a duty under the Constitution - and it damn sure doesn't rest on what Pelosi "thinks is best for our country."

I believe that when a President commits High Crimes such as Bush he should be impeached - primarily to prevent him from pardoning fellow criminals. So, I understand your point, well taken, its just that the damage that will be done by allowing criminals to "go free" is an option I don't think we as a nation can afford.

Terryco · 1 year ago

Absolutely correct. Clinton wanted to "move on" and let Pappy Bush skate on Iran-Contra, pardons galore for the boys and we ended up probably losing our republic because of his pathetic son. The only good thing about it was we didn't get Jeb instead, we couldn't have stopped Mr. PNAC, too smart/sneaky. DO NOT screw up this time America, last call.

ron071 · 1 year ago

red-dwarf: I appreciated your response and agree with all of the points you
made. Yes, criminals ought be punished and during the last 8 years
lawlessness has become rampant within the federal government. My main point is that
nothing will happen if these scoundrels are not ousted from power. Nothing
can stand in the way of retaking the government as this is the only hope of
any return to constitutional government. I've given this much thought and am
convinced that we dare not take our focus off this imperative lest nothing can
change and will not change. Sublimation of important goals must occur if
the crucial objective is to be achieved. I am a realist, and thusly come down
on the side of nothing vs a start at correction. Best, Ron

Britney could become the new mascot of the Republican Party.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

you know how McLame claimed Obama played the race card first when Obama said he (Obama) doesn't look like any of the presidents on dollar bills or something?

Obama responds with: no i was referring to you questioning my age and experience. hence, you just played the race card Senator.

that is priceless.

GrMtGirl · 1 year ago

This sort of campaigning only confirms McCain's mind is definitely going. Who in their right mind could connect Spears with politics!

ron071 · 1 year ago

The Rove/Bush team which has taken over the desperate McSame campaign have little choice given the incompetence of their candidate. Their view is that only a slime campaiggn can possibly result in a victory if the public is fooled for a third time. Is this possible?

serge · 1 year ago

John...let's be grateful it wasn't Shirley Temple. And I don't think he is the same man he was fifteen minutes ago, and counting...

ron071 · 1 year ago

Has the level of a presidential campaign sunk so low that the bottom of the cultural barrel is now used to slander an honorable man? This is beyond the desperation to win. It is simply a disgusting act but those have been Republican tactics for a long time. They even slime each other in primary contests. It's surely time for a change. Clearly there has not been such a wide gap in candidates for a long time.

Polly_Tics · 1 year ago

The infamous Bill Orally is now asking people to vote on John McCain's campaign performance. I have already done so, but I'm sure we ALL could muster a click or two, yes?

http://www.billoreilly.com/site

mirth · 1 year ago

Hi Polly :)

Notice how the Fox poll doesn't have a way to view results of the vote?

I'm guessing that it'll be any damn result O'Liely wants it to be.

Polly_Tics · 1 year ago

Yes, I noticed that too, although I'm not surprised. LOL yes, I'm sure that the results are skewing FAR to the left of what they wanted to cite.

By the way, how are you? Haven't "seen" you for awhile, but that may be my fault. Hope you are well!

Leave the poor poor woman alone. She is a mentally ill Person that is trying her best to recover. Using a mentally ill person in a racist advertisement is the lowest of lows.

ron071 · 1 year ago

Perhaps John McCain has always been the same but it took a while for his true character to become known nationally. Do you remember the KeatingFive involvement and the constant charade of opposing Bush and then, after a meeting with him, reversing and supporting the Bush agenda? No, I see the same McCain but more of him now in the national spotlight. Lastly, even a cursory study of his record back to the Naval Academy tells the same story. His life story is pathetic. Being shot down and captured did not a hero make and that is his claim to whatever he claims to be.

"McCain is always right because he was a pow"-cable news

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

"Hey, be happy he didn't invoke Mary Pickford."

Now that is funny. I belly laughed.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

I can see the Obama response ad now:

"John McCain compares Obama to celebrities like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears?" then show clip from McCain ad showing the three... cut to black and white. WE have a few celebrities who remind Americans of what we are up against! Show grainy black and white video of Mary Pickford, Shirley Temple both screaming and then John McCain. Do we REALLY want to go there, John McCain? Do we? Choose hope! Choose the future! Chose Barack Obama!"
"I'm Barack Obama and I APPROVE this ad..."
