Listening to CSPAN this am, the "Operation Chaos" people are out in force; every single one of them, racists that they are, really reveal themselves by stating they are "for Clinton" and if she's not the nominee, they'll vote for McCrazy.
Now, what kind of logic is that? I'd say it shows their racism, because...why would they vote for Bush 3 otherwise? Certainly not for political reasons, since for 16 yrs they continually called Clinton a "leftist" and worse and you know damned well they'd never vote for someone they called a "commie" now, would they?
What a ruse...

Good morning
Egyptian press blasts Bush over 'Torah-inspired' Knesset speech
A front page editorial in Al-Gomhouria, another Egyptian state-owned daily, described Bush as a failed president who delivers nothing but a lousy speech.
Akhbar Al-Youm also on Saturday published a picture of Bush hugging Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and captioned it "lovers".
The paper also ran a front page cartoon showing an Egyptian peasant consoling President Hosni Mubarak for having to meet with this burdensome guy who will be leaving soon, in reference to Bush.
Egypt was the first Arab nation to make peace with Israel and has long been seen as a key mediator in the Mideast dispute that Bush has said he wants to solve by the time he leaves office next January.
"All during the campaign when I was his rival, not a running mate, there was no one who was more complimentary of him publicly and privately. ... I still wanted to win, but if I couldn't, John McCain was always the guy I would have supported and have now supported.
Democrat Barack Obama told seniors Sunday that Republican John McCain would threaten the Social Security that they and millions like them depend on because he supports privatizing the program.
Obama turned to a bedrock, pocketbook issue as he spoke to about 130 people at an assisted living facility and sought to tie the GOP's presidential nominee-in-waiting to an unpopular President Bush on an issue that motivates seniors.
"Let me be clear, privatizing Social Security was a bad idea when George W. Bush proposed it, it's a bad idea today," Obama said. "That's why I stood up against this plan in the Senate and that's why I won't stand for it as president."
blackwolf Obama needs to drive this social security thing home to seniors. I hate to say it, but many of our seniors are like sheep.

Yeah, Social Security's a good issue.
Kerry mentioned it once or twice, got slammed for "scaring old people," then let it go.
Sure enough, as soon a Bush got his second term, he tried to privatize Social Security.

On the plus side, I think that (rather than katrina) was the beginning of the end for the Chimp.
Katrina was probably the knockout punch, but his Social Security Privatization Scheme was basically when voters (finally!) quit believing he had their best interests at heart and they stopped rolling over for him.
(They would have been better off if they figured it out before he pushed his anti-bankruptcy bill through--or, better yet, before he pushed his Vanity War through---but voters are idiots and, as posted below, old voters are like sheep.)
Good morning, beautiful people! The full moon will grace this evening's sky. Somehting wonderful could happen.

Diplomacy, Not Appeasement
Larison describes what it is:
...a good diplomat doesn’t really care whether his opposite number has been persuaded by the virtue of his argument, but is most concerned to know that his opposite number is operating in good faith and will follow through on the bargain that has been reached. There are things that will be non-negotiable for other regimes, just as there are for our own, and part of the art of diplomacy is to make maximal gains towards that limit of the non-negotiable for your side. Or you can pretend that diplomacy has something to do with being nice and yielding to your rivals, as I assume Mr. Bush must believe for him to equate it with appeasement, which is almost the exact opposite of what proper diplomacy is. It doesn’t matter to me that much whether or not Bush was referring to Obama. I think he was, but that isn’t my concern. What concerns me is that idea that Mr. Bush’s style of foreign policy can still be presented as self-evidently right and competent in the face of a mountain of evidence that it is neither.
