Leave it to a Racist Maverick and his Lipstick Pitbull
OK, so the latest non-sense to come from the Palin/McCain camp is that Senator Obama has ties to domestic terrorism via his acknowledged prior acquaintance ” with terrorists who targeted our own country”. She is speaking of Obama and…
…his brief political relationship with Bill Ayers, a founding member of the radical Weather Underground, which was involved in several bombings in the early 1970s, including attacks on the Pentagon and the Capitol. Obama was a child at the time of the bombings.
She (Palin) referred to an article in Saturday’s New York Times about Obama’s relationship with Ayers, now 63. But that article concluded that “the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called ’somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.’” CNN
Ok, you made me do it. I’m going to recall a previous statement, or two, that I made about McCain and his recent (even current) relationship(s) with white supremacists and other unsavory people in this country. These are claims that McCain doesn’t even deny. He just chuckles and redirects the question/answer session to something else. (sound familiar?) Looks to me like you are scared of the black man, John and Sarah. No wonder you can’t even focus on your campaign. The 8pt lead that Mr (President) Obama just took from you this week has got to be killing you. I suppose then you would expect a person of color to say things like…lock up your wife cuz she’s one sexy B. (Not really… your wife is NOT all that she thinks she is make-up and apathy down look so good on too many women). I mean, you know that’s all us black men are into anyway, right? We’re going to slang crack, beat up prostitutes, and drink beer and smoke newports and weed till we choke! associate with unsavory individuals and speak of unsavory things. I mean, that’s what “black folk” do, right? Alright then answer me this. If you find that your competition has ever visited Russia, or China, or North Korea, on his personal time to take a vacation, are you going to demand that he admit to some (maybe your) accusation that he is somehow linked to communism? I think McCain/Palin is in fear of letting down the racist forefathers WHEN he loses this presidential race.
For the record, Bill Ayers is now a professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holding the honor of Distinguished Professor. I don’t support any of his tretchorous past. I do, however, support the notion, the truth that people can and do change. Who they were may certainly not be who they are. To be fair, the same could be said about McCain and Palin. When I look deeply at them, I just don’t see it, though. To me they represent all that is wrong with this country. Selfish, self-serving, unreliable, “above the law”, and not at aall right for this country. not even the states that the currently represent. After there presentations over the last few months, they should not only lose this presidential race, they should lose their current state/federal seats.
I know this doesn’t really tear into Palin so much. I’m getting there. In a post in the near future….
Do the research. Learn the truth. Call out the liars!
Know What Your Government is Doing…the Bailout Bill
Here is the complete text of the revised (amended) Bailout Bill (Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008) as voted on by both the Senate and the House. (It’s in pdf form. Download it, read it, learn it.)
This is no stabilization or stimulation package, no help for the poor, the working, the about-to-lose-their-homes-and-businesses Americans. This is yet another ploy that will ultimately make several more already wealthy citizens more money and less responsibility. Does anyone remember just a few days back when bush was pressing us all to approve the bailout bill “expediently”? “It needs to happen now”, I think I heard him say. And yet here we are.. nearly 1000 points down in the market over the last week including a 508 point drop just today.
I won’t lie, I haven’t read the entire revised bill, but you can bet I will! I don’t think that the majority of the Senate NOR the House have read so much as a single page of the bill. Ask your! Ask your Senate and Congressional offices to explain it to you. I bet they cannot. So we will have to do it ourselves.

Sarah Palin… NOT qualified. (really?!?)
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Palin was in New York City Thursday.(CNN) – Prominent conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, an early supporter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, said Friday recent interviews have shown the Alaska governor is “out of her league” and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party.
OK. For me this has been a no-brainer from the start. Me Palin is and was obviously a “tolken” choice. That is to say, she was slected at the last minute not because she is in any way qualified (she is clearly not), but because she is a woman and Barack Obama didn’t choose a woman. With Hillary looking like she was a shoe-in for the spot, the competition seemingly had to follow suite. And now the GOP is starting to see the light. The light that is quickly fading. That fading light shows that Sarah Palin was the WRONG choice for the GOP V.P.
Ms Palin can’t give a straight answer on most anything, she gives answers that she clearly didn’t discuss with her party and she represents things that the GOP do not (like her family values). I know, the people have spoken and they don’t liuke the fact that her family life has been brought to the surface. Well, what do you expect when the person wanting to co-lead a nationm can’t even stand by her ideals. And then when called out on it, she simply declares that her family position is not relevant for the general public.
Sunday, September 21, 2008
When Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin if questions about her ability to balance work and family were sexist, her response electrified female voters in both parties.
“I’m part of a generation where that question is kind of irrelevant,” she said.
By dismissing the topic, Palin demonstrated the conservative values she brings to the McCain ticket, which have galvanized the Republican right. But many were infuriated by her remark, which appeared to slight family-friendly policies at a time when they could be getting significant attention.
Though Palin has yet to specify her positions on issues related to working families, it is expected she will follow the conservative Republican Party line…
And if anyone has done their homework, you will note that the goings on in the Palin household do NOT coincide with Mrs. Palin’s claims for the country. I won’t go into the specifics.. you can look that up yourselves, however, know that the discrepencies are there and they are BIG!.
The McCain camp has to be sick to their stomach’s right about now. The GOP.. and bunch of “good ol boys (and a girl…. with listick… a self-described “lipstick bitch” [pitbull w/lipstick.. too damn funny])!

The Photo-Op Flop!
Wow. When you are pandering to become the next president of the U.S. of A. I guess “anything goes”. Mr McCain has lost some more of that all important gray matter this week and appears to have taken on a “fuck it” mentality.
Hey guys, since the timing of this financial fiasco is going to plague my attempts to dupe the american people into voting for me, lets dupe the American people into voting for me! You see, we’re going to “stop” my campaign for a while.. no, no.. it’s just gonna be a few days at most. Then Cindy and I are going to take a quick vacation. It’s just a simple coincidence that we’ll be vacationing in DC. And since I’ll be there anyway, I’m not coming back until our government agrees to my demands! Then I’ll return to the campaign that I “postponed”, the people will worship me and I will be their omnipotent leader!!! …oh shit.. gotta go debate!
A week-long photo-op at the time, of a national tragedy (following several others of sorts). Political theater on an inappropriate stage. And it’s going to flop.
Politician…the new four-letter word.
Meanwhile, another bank fails and the change in my pocket will afford me less and less. I say to all who will listen. Take your money and get a safe… or some solid cardboard shoe box… and put your money there. If it is going ot keep any value at all, it certainly will have more in your hand rather than in “the bank”. If people in this country were smart, they’d start taking on a survivalist mentality. At least to some degree. If the collective whole of this country acted like we gave a damn, something close to a miracle could happen. But instead, we are going to (you are going to.. I’m a “survivalists for dummies student” as we speak) drive the excessive amounts to get nowhere fast and then display intolerance at the price and the fat cats pockets unending swell. Who is more to blame? People like the incompetant Mr McCain, or us?

The Pope is a JOKE!
I have been tring to find information related to the Pope’s involvement in that hored CATHOLIC priest sex scandal that seems to NEVER stop! And here is the begining of some of what I haev previously located. Basically, Pope Benedict has had a direct had in the cover-ups of these sexual abuse cases. To the point the he specifically approved the moving of priests accused of sexual misconduct/abuse to other locales. He also is responsible for the blatant cover-up that went on for years. The man is sick. Warped. And has managed to succeed in covering up his own issues, to then go on and “lead” the Catholic faith. Believe me, I will do much more research and continue to add. THe world need to know… to understand for sure, that the Pope is not at ALL who he claims to be and represent. I would think God is sorely dissappointed in his being selected for the papal spot.
Pope is immune from lawsuit in sex abuse case, U.S. says
September 21, 2005
Rome // The U.S. Justice Department has told a Texas court that a lawsuit accusing Pope Benedict XVI
of conspiring to cover up the sexual molestation of three boys by a
seminarian should be dismissed because the pontiff enjoys immunity as
head of state of the Holy See.Assistant U.S. Attorney General Peter Keisler said in Monday’s
filing that allowing the lawsuit to proceed would be “incompatible with
the United States’ foreign policy interests.”……The lawsuit alleges Ratzinger, who headed the Vatican’s Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith before becoming pope, was involved in a
conspiracy to hide Patino-Arango’s crimes.
I wonder what else the Pope is immune from, in the name of better international affairs.
Why Can’t We Work Together? pt 2
Good Lord. As if Jesse Jackson talking about cutting Mr Obama’s nuts off, he had (has) the NERVE to refer to blacks as “niggers” during his recent rant about wanting to chop Barack’s nuts off.! That’s right, you read it correctly. And after such absolutely foul statements, all anyone gets for a follow up is basically.. “my bad.. I didn’t know anyone was listening…”
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized to Sen. Obama’s campaign last week over “hurtful” remarks.The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a “Fox & Friends” news show.
In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was “talking down to black people,” and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them “how to behave.”
You are appaling, sir. Maybe you need a vcation. One thing is for sure. You no longer need to claim to represent the positive ideals and ideas of the African American community in this country. Your verbal attack on an absolutely upstanding, motivating, shining star like Barack Obama has fairly well confirmed to the nation that you no longer maintain a base of rational thinking. Take a break… and give us one!

Keep Spending, Go Broke… Stop Spending, Help Ruin the Economy
Oh, the grandeur of inflation! Dictionary.com defines inflation as “a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency (opposed to deflation)”. No kidding.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com)
Prices paid at the retail level were up 5% on an annual basis in June, the biggest 12-month change since May 1991 – an annual figure that was skewed by the surge in gasoline prices related to the first Gulf War.
A separate Labor Department report showed the average hourly wage up only 3.4% over the same 12-month period, meaning the typical American is having trouble keeping up with the price increases.
The 12-month rise in core CPI is now up 2.4%, up from a 2.3% rise in that reading in May.
Fed chairman’s gloom Bernanke, in testimony to a Senate committee Tuesday warned that could pose a risk for the economy.
“Rapid increases in the prices of energy and other commodities…have sapped household purchasing power even as they have boosted inflation,” he said in testimony he is set to repeat to a House committee Wednesday.”
SO, Basically, as a nation we are better off how things were about a year ago. We get a national increase in minimum wage, and instead of the government doing anything to make that increase advantageous to us Americans, they contribute to a worsening economy and to the sharp decline in consumer confidence. Governments allow things to go on, like Cedar Rapids, Ia. dumping ALL of its solid waste directly in to the Cedar River for weeks following the major flood we had here, non-stop, because the water treatment plant has been completely down for weeks, until this week. Instead of requiring the use of Port-a-potty’s where ever plausible/possible/applicable. Long term result will be probably billions spent on environmental clean up, massive wildlife/fish losses not just regionally, but globally.
Gas is out of control, and our government is stalling on doing anything about it. And why would they when this countries own “leader” would lose money if that were to happen. And we all know that bush’s 2 terms were really a means for him to rake in even MORE money into his own oil businesses. Did you all forget that the bush’s owe their wealth to oil and the ill-gotten ways in which they have reaped the “rewards”?
I’ll say it here and now.. bush’s ties to mid-east oil is the reason for 9/11. Do the deep research, people.
So, now here we are. Asshole is almost out of office and our economy is the WORST it has been since before his first term. Thanks Asshole bush! And this is what is in store for America in our near future…
“[Bernanke] also warned that spending by consumers, which provides nearly three-quarters of the nation’s economic activity, “seems likely to be restrained over coming quarters” and that price increases could also make businesses cautious about their own spending plans.
As everything involving money worsens in this country, we spend less. As we spend less, things worsen for this country. It’s a perpetual cycle that HAS to be broken. We can start by electing (and refusing to accept a faulted, one-sided election process that rewards the counted loser.. bush) a person who has this nations economic future on his mind for the immediate future.. McCain? He wants a continued multi-multi-billion dollar war. He wants continued tax breaks for the likes of himself and his cronies. He talks of building bases in the lands that we are illegally occupying. Go ahead, McCain, lead us into more war and a depression, just like your boyfriend, bush.
People, please take a stand for your rights to have your head above water. For your rights to be able to provide for your family on less than three jobs per parent. For your right to be able to afford to drive to work. Stand up, People!
