As Obama said today "what happens in your campaign is a forshadowing of how you will govern.....'
Hey! What about our Communist current president. He nationalized Freddie and Fannie. That's state ownership of the means of production, the definition of big "C" Communism. I mean in little "c" communism the people share ownership, and socialism, the people own the means of production, but only in Big "C" Communism does the state own the means of production and control it for its and its friends benefit. That puts Bush in the company of Stalin, Lenin, Khruschev, and Mao. Comrade Bush. Has a real ring to it.
The media see a rating bonanza here and they will do their collective duty not to seek real truths BUT real controversy.
They want to keep this thing close and they will make sure the story lines of the day always make it so....
Yes there might be real differences between the campaigns as far as issues styles and change etc but the media and most Americans will only care about the narrative that is so simple and Dumb ...yes ...Dumb. The Media want people glued to the set. This is the reason why we might not win this election (even though we have a good shot.)
If this election comes down to depending on the American Idol voter we will get what we deserve. We will get have an electoral Sanjaya on our hands. BUt what if McCain and Susan do get elected? Hey, she is fun to watch and we could watch her show for four years! Ratings will be up for a while until in a few years when the media wakes up after a horrible international crisis and the hand wringing will begin like they did after the War in iraq went sour. The media will say to us and to themselves ..."we should have done a better job but we etc etc .......We are them and they are us.
I hope I am wrong and I am just a horrible cynic but lest face it if you have ever lived over seas for any long period of time you see how really naive and silly this country has become. The news is no longer news and people actually openly mock others for being smart and thoughtful.
This country has believe this one last chance to the escape bread and circus of the past decade and take control of the Republic before it becomes and Empire .
If we loose this one we will become the backwater country we once were before World War I. Yes we might still be militarily powerful but we will become a shadow of former greatness. We will risk becoming a classic movie or a TV re-run. The world is really itching for us to crank out new episodes an do what we have always done best ...be a country that might not always be smart but always tries to do the right thing...a country that cares about the rest of the world not just herself ...a country that makes choices out of wisdom not fear ...a country that examines itself and learns from its own mistakes,a country that cares about rules and laws and and inspires.
TO McCain
ABOUT Palin.
McCain would go postal soon enough.
After being freed by the Vietnamese
he achieved flight status.
So what exactly is his disability?
Obama was wrong! John McCain gets it. He understands the simpletons that lap up his every word.
I'm just waiting for someone else on this site to say what it is he understands
Sorry but when people vote for president its different. None of that matters. People vote for president entirely based on personality. Yes I know Barack has a good personality, but he is black. Most people in this country are bigoted, or at least the baby boomers are.
So let me point out, you are not the first person on here to continue to believe the bullshit of the oligarchy. That's not funny, its sad.

I am always amused when I hear "Maverick" used to describe Senator McCain and now Guvner Palin. For some, in this country, the term it conjurs up the romantic vision of a lone bull standing apart from the herd.
While there is debate about the origins of the term maverick, it is generally accepted by historians of the early ranching days that it came to be used to describe cattle that owners failed to brand. In fact, so-called maverick steers were plentiful in the days of the open range in Texas.
These cattle roamed the range in the thousands and many a young man with "a rope,nerve to use it, and a branding iron(1)" made his living rounding up these strays and branding them for themselves or their ranch employers. The practice was known as "mavericking"
So I reckon you could call John McCain a Maverick: An old steer that's in the Republican herd and wearing the George Bush brand

Sunday morning is getting as bad a cable mornings, afternoons and most evenings.
I wish there were more podcast and youtube alternatives...

Why can't McCain work for $1 now? Why is he still accepting social security and a navy pension? : politics
Gramps McCain is a greedy sleaze ball.
