What's funny is the McCain campaign says Obama is desperate. Every time Obama fires back at their insane attack they say it's desperation.

KKKarls' Pee Wee Herman-style "I know you are but what am I", "Yeah! O yeah?" campaign. Memo to KKKarl--Talking Heads describing your cheap moves as "brilliant" isn't necessarily a good thing.

The best quote in the last few days has come from the Obama campaign stating that McCain would rather lose his intergrity than lose the presidency. It goes straight to character, he has no integrity. I would love to see this pounded home along with attacking Palin's integrity.

I wasn't a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn't a governor for a short period of time. I was a POW. Sarah, however, was a mayor for a short period of time and a governor for a short period of time. Therefore, she's a national security expert.
You can trust my judgment. See?

This is a good one actually. Because we can be critical of McSAME AND Palin at the same time without mentioning her name.

WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin's visit to Iraq in 2007 consisted of a brief stop at a border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait, the vice presidential candidate's campaign said yesterday, in the second official revision of her only trip outside North America.
Following her selection last month as John McCain's running mate, aides said Palin had traveled to Ireland, Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq to meet with members of the Alaska National Guard. During that trip she was said to have visited a "military outpost" inside Iraq. The campaign has since repeated that Palin's foreign travel included an excursion into the Iraq battle zone.
But in response to queries about the details of her trip, campaign aides and National Guard officials in Alaska said by telephone yesterday that she did not venture beyond the Kuwait-Iraq border when she visited Khabari Alawazem Crossing, also known as "K-Crossing," on July 25, 2007.
You can see Russia from Alaska. Therefore, Sarah Palin is a Foreign Policy expert.

I keep going back to this video showing two big Republicans Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy trashing McCain / Palin when they think they are off-mic. Mike Murphy couldn't say enough wonderful things about them while on camera but when he thinks he is safely "off-mic" says, "The greatness of McCain was no cynicism, and this is cynical..."
That youtube video is all over the place, and the media SHOULD have to report on the number of views considering how viral it has gone. It certainly exposes how the "traditional media" LIES to all of us and has their "own agenda." The Fourth Estate exists for its own sake except for a few true patriots like Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann.

This campaign cycle is like watching a train wreck of a reality show, the kind where the viewers are always partial to the snarks, sharks and snakes.

"I fear for my country"
Former Gov. Tony Knowles and other Alaska Democrats warn not to underestimate Sarah Palin's political skills -- or how unsuited she is for the vice presidency.
This specific citation and reference, and this meme, simply must get into the hands of at least one of the "moderators" (hah...) of the upcoming debates. McLiar simply must be pressed by that moderator to answer for McLiar's duplicity and willingness to sacrifice the security of this nation in his vain glorious pursuit of a political office.

We need a chart that compares and contrasts NYC with Wasilla and Mass. with Alaska.....you know, so that we can see just how Sarah Palin's experience qualifies her over Rudy & Mitt.
I mean, just off the top of my head....NYC is the most populated city in the US with 8.5M people...Rudy led the 9/11 efforts...Wall Street is there...the United Nations is there...the capital of the world, really. Wasilla has about 9000 people and ???

How about some policy issue stuff posted? We gotta keep reminding folks that McCain sucks on the issues. I don't know if we can ever really win the Sarah Palin argument...people like regular ol schmo's. I"m not sure when it happened...people thought Dan Quayle was a joke. But, the last 8 years they've liked unqualified idiots.

After reading about McCain's personal history, I'm thinking McCain is DESPERATE to be President so he can once and for all best his father and grandfather who were successful Navy Admirals. McCain NEVER lived up to their reputations as great men. Reminds me of Bush and his "Daddy complex." Of course, the stupid half who voted for Dubya twice will never see this kind of sick dynamic that seems to motivate McCain. McCain is a desperate man. We don't need that kind of emotion motivating someone to run for President.

yep, that's what I've been saying... emotionally retarded little man attempting to be better than the men his father and grandfather were.

I'm sure his sad ego took a beating from being FIFTH from the bottom of his Annapolis class, but the whole POW thing probably came closest to him being able to say he was better than daddy or gramps, but his ego probably won't be satisfied until he can brag to Momma, "I'm Commander-in-Chief! Screw Admiral - I out rank ALL the men in your life, Momma!" Its ALL ABOUT HIM.
McCain - Putting his sad little EGO FIRST!

I would like to see more news about "Songbird." McChurpey. The NVA gave him this nickname because he sang like a bird when questioned. Where are those propaganda movies he made for them as well? Why, is the media silent on this part of his POW status. Hero, I think not.

McCain has disgraced his biggest claim to honor - being a POW.
he's just a liar. thanks but no thanks.

I would have to agree with McBush that Rudi and Mitt weren't qualified to run the country, but I would also add two more names to that list, with McBush and Caribou Barbie as those names.

AFTER EIGHT YEARS of looking away, Bu$hco is now trying to capture Osama bin Laden to give McCain a leg up in the election! TALK ABOUT CYNICAL! My God, they've had ALL THIS time, and now its PRIORITY ONE because if McCain doesn't win Bu$hco. might go to jail? I'm glad they are FINALLY going after him but what took so long? If they catch him, we all need to be VERY CYNICAL about the timing and ask, "Why Osama now?"
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they already had captured him or killed him and were using his name and persona to rally the continuation of this stupid war Bush started.

You are probably correct. They will roll him out as the "October surprise."

OUTRAGEOUS!
"Definitely, the gloves have come off," said a source who has been briefed on the plan. "This was only Phase 1 of three phases."
Pentagon and White House officials have declined to discuss the new plan.
================================ Obama needs to ask why its taken EIGHT LONG YEARS for the gloves to finally come off? WHERE THE HELL IS OSAMA BIN LADEN AND WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG TO JAIL OR KILL HIM?
Cowboy, actually this is really phase three of Rove's plan to get McCain elected. Phase 1 - paint Obama as an angry black man - didn't work Phase 2 - lie about everything - MSM won't call them on it Phase 3 - bring out OBL

Yea, we need to be prepared for the whole "WE CAUGHT HIM!" charade. I think Republicans should actually be PUNISHED if they catch him before the election because it will be so obvious they played it for crass, cynical political reasons.

Spot--(to the usual driving, anxiety-provoking music track) Slow push into a gay Johnny pic that solarizes and goes white and narrator says, "John McCain wants to nuke your city."
"Abandoning honor in his misguided campaign," (over news clippings) "the Washington lifer" (pic showing age) "toys with dangerous extremes to achieve his life's desire." (Montage of Rove, religious extremists, hate groups ending on Johnny looking very crafty and shadowed)
"Can America afford to be bullied once again" (Bush/Cheney war montage) "by the same confederation of anything goes political handlers, rabid media and extremist interests?" (prints in plastic covers tossed before camera ala Mission Impossible before disolving to mushroom cloud)
"Of course not. Vote your life and ours" (over fade to black) "Vote Obama/Biden" (logo fades in on black)

Here's a great quote from McCain -- how 'bout the Dems & friends using it a commercial (from Mori Dinauer of TAPPED): Bonus McCain quote, from last year's Republican primary debates: "I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasn’t a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn’t a governor for a short period of time."

And people will vote for this repug hack?
