The Hell with P.C.: The Republicans Have Obama Nailed with This New Ad

WOW!!! well it has started I say good for the republican party lets see how the Obama camp like those apples, cant say Hillary did not warn them, this is just the beginning of things to come.

and so it begins…

Good grief, Susan. This are just straight questions for him to answer not the swift boat ones. Believe me, they are coming.

We could ask McCain all these questions too - and get some pretty horrifying answers.

BTW, will you be fundraising for republican attack ads now?

Agree, sj.

And Obama and his supporters will not be able to depend on Clinton supporters to help defend him……..he and Brazille and Bowers have already thrown the rest of us under the bus.

They will EAT OBAMA ALIVE, and most of the white, working class Axelrod offended will believe every word of the ads.

That “new Democratic coalition” Brazille spoke about?

Not gonna be enough.

Ya got to love the republicans.

Oh Boy am I going to love what the Republicans do to Precious.
Let the games begin!!!!!!

He asked for it by letting his plans for May 20th be known.

Makes you wonder if he is ready for this to end and let Hillary take over, huh?

Ya got to love the republicans.

Have I wandered over to Red State by accident? Are all of you Clinton supporters actually part of Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos or something? Why else would all of you be so gleeful about the idea of McInsane winning in November?

But all he has to do is whine, throw himself on the ground and scream “You guys are being mean, mean and racist, mean, racist and bitter! Waaaaaah.” And of course the GOP will say “Oh gosh, Mr. Obama, you’re absolutely right, we were mean and bitter and racist and we’ll stop now. So sorry.” Christ. GOPers live to eat peoples’ souls. They relish other peoples’ pain. Might makes right and they’ve been at it MUCH longer than Barky. But hey fine, Obama doesn’t need our help. He’ll be just fine come November without us. Right Jeffy?

I guess when your party pushes for a candidate like Barack Obama then you pretty much get what you deserve. The thing is they don’t even have to lie or misrepresent the guy. This one time where the plain old simple truth is enough. What we need to do is get Hillary on to the Green party ballot. We could build that party up while the democratic party brand completely implodes into irrelevance and extinction.

Have I wandered over to Red State by accident? Are all of you Clinton supporters actually part of Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos or something? Why else would all of you be so gleeful about the idea of McInsane winning in November?

You are so narrow minded. This is what the Clinton camp has been saying all along and this is just the beginning. The supporters of Sen Obama have been burying their heads in the sand for so long already. Wake up already.

Good luck with that garbage. All of the same stuff Clinton tried, it will not work. John McCain = George W. Bush. Enough said.

We are not republicans. We are long-time democrats who care about our country more than a party that has made it clear doesn’t give a damn about us. That ad is nothing but the truth. Shouldn’t Obama have to answer those questions. I believe the American people (no matter what party they belong to) deserve to know the answers to those questions. If Obama was forced to answer those types of questions like all the other candidates have had to, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Goodness gracious! Whew! They are going to fire that butt up!!! I’ll be honest, I can’t wait!!! The first debate, again if he really does grab this nomination–anything’s possible right?–should be especially YUM-eee! See how he hems and haws his way out of that. McCain is pretending that he’s going to play Mr. Nice Guy, but ask Mitt Romney if he’s just a sweet old guy. LMAO Obama doesn’t know what he’s got coming his way. Axeltard is no doubt trying to prep him, but he folded like a cheap fan against Hill! McCain won’t be so nice.

With all these baggages Obama has, shiiiitttt!!! the stoopid Brazille/Dean/Pelosi NEO-Dem party is ovahhhh.

I want my real DNC party back! I want people’s voting rights back! I want my USA back!

Please, Could someone post the text of the ad? Or a summary? I can’t watch YouTube here.

Thank you!

I’m a lifelong Democrat like my parents before me. I do have a college degree. I’ve voted Dem in every election since I came of age in the late 70’s. I’m not easily fooled. If Obama is the Dem nominee, I will leave the party and become Independent. They don’t need me… they have a new coalition that doesn’t include lifelong democrats like me.I’m no Republican, never will be.

For those who think McCain will play Obama’s dirty games like Clinton had been forced to do:

February 6, 2006

The Honorable Barack Obama

United States Senate

SH-713

Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Obama:

I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurances to me regarding your desire to cooperate in our efforts to negotiate bipartisan lobbying reform legislation were sincere. When you approached me and insisted that despite your leadership’s preference to use the issue to gain a political advantage in the 2006 elections, you were personally committed to achieving a result that would reflect credit on the entire Senate and offer the country a better example of political leadership, I concluded your professed concern for the institution and the public interest was genuine and admirable. Thank you for disabusing me of such notions with your letter to me dated February 2, 2006, which explained your decision to withdraw from our bipartisan discussions. I’m embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble. Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won’t make the same mistake again.

As you know, the Majority Leader has asked Chairman Collins to hold hearings and mark up a bill for floor consideration in early March. I fully support such timely action and I am confident that, together with Senator Lieberman, the Committee on Governmental Affairs will report out a meaningful, bipartisan bill.

You commented in your letter about my “interest in creating a task force to further study” this issue, as if to suggest I support delaying the consideration of much-needed reforms rather than allowing the committees of jurisdiction to hold hearings on the matter. Nothing could be further from the truth. The timely findings of a bipartisan working group could be very helpful to the committee in formulating legislation that will be reported to the full Senate. Since you are new to the Senate, you may not be aware of the fact that I have always supported fully the regular committee and legislative process in the Senate, and routinely urge Committee Chairmen to hold hearings on important issues. In fact, I urged Senator Collins to schedule a hearing upon the Senate’s return in January.

Furthermore, I have consistently maintained that any lobbying reform proposal be bipartisan. The bill Senators Joe Lieberman and Bill Nelson and I have introduced is evidence of that commitment as is my insistence that members of both parties be included in meetings to develop the legislation that will ultimately be considered on the Senate floor. As I explained in a recent letter to Senator Reid, and have publicly said many times, the American people do not see this as just a Republican problem or just a Democratic problem. They see it as yet another run-of-the-mill Washington scandal, and they expect it will generate just another round of partisan gamesmanship and posturing. Senator Lieberman and I, and many other members of this body, hope to exceed the public’s low expectations. We view this as an opportunity to bring transparency and accountability to the Congress, and, most importantly, to show the public that both parties will work together to address our failings.

As I noted, I initially believed you shared that goal. But I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party’s effort to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman Senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness. Again, I have been around long enough to appreciate that in politics the public interest isn’t always a priority for every one of us. Good luck to you, Senator.

Sincerely,

John McCain

United States Senate

http://mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressOffice.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=a72aa248-ed25-4ec1-9c20-1386b3ee960c&Region_id=&Issue_id=

It was a joke how Obama tried to wezzle his way out of it, McCain couldn’t be bothered what Obama has to say, he pegged Obama weeks after Obama entered the Senate!

I hate to say it, but this is a very lethal ad. It tackles every single weakness of Senator Obama from experience to cultural values to his record in the senate (Illinois legislature).

I am a democrat, have been for more than half a century now, and i can tell you that that last bit on experience in the end of the ad is going to sway a lot of people away from Obama. Truth has to be said: we have never elected a president with 2 years in the senate and 2 years of experience on the national level without any executive or business or military experience to shore up his weak to C.V. We have never done that in these complicated times of the 20th century.

My question though, why couldn’t Hillary run an ad like that against him? Oh yes stupid me, they would have called it a racist ad.

We’re just mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore. Now does that tell you something about the people on this and other sites like Taylors and Larry’s. I like the new party idea . I’m writing in Hillary’s name in November anyway. Wouldn’t it be great if we started a write in movement that got her elected in November. wishful thinking but God wouldn’t that be the greatest screw on the Messiah and his deciples.

Why should I care what the Republicans do to Obama, when his supporters are having a great time calling for Hillary to get out, saying all sorts of things about her and Bill, I took it all in did not say a word.

Now you want Hillary supporters to be the cushion for the Obama slams from the Republicans, nope it does not work that way, if Hillary gets this nomination would you Obama gangs not want McCain to talk about every detail under the sun with the Clinton’s, of course you would.

Obama is not getting my support not after what the DNC has done, they were warned over and over, so let Dean sit back and take in the show, they should place a new ad everyday and let Obama get into his sissy fits and play the race card.

Did you guys not say he won well winners need to stand up and be ready for all challenges, so let the Republicans bring it on, pile it on thick and lets see what this great winner is made of.

That’s it? That’s all they got? The only issue that bothers me is the voting ‘present’ thing, which we’ve all known about for some time. The GOPers morph voting against war FUNDING into voting against the TROOPS. So you buy that? The tax jab is such an old ploy that it’s pretty much a joke. Experience? REALLY? By that measure then, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld should be your dream ticket. How’d their ‘experience’ work out for ya?
Now folks, consider ther issues that are important to you. Do you think that your reproductive rights, right to privacy, 4th amendment guarantees, rt to habeas corpus - just to mention a few - will be better protected by President McCain, or President Obama? Do you think that our standing in the world , and our now destroyed reputation as a good and peaceful, citizen of the family of nations will be better enhanced by President McCain, or by President Obama?
If your answer is McCain, then I suggest that either your crushed egos have gotten the better of your very obvious, self interest, or you just havent had the time to examine McCain’s statements ,and policy positions. Perhaps time will assuage the former, but only intellectual honesty can help you with the latter.

Don’t give me your moans and groans. These are the very same questions Hillary asked Obama to which he answered - attack, attack, attack; you’re attacking me. You and Bill are racist. Ask me about the issues.

These are some of the very questions ABC asked him in a debate…….and Obama ran away crying racism, politics of personal destruction, and gave Hillary the finger.

These are the very same issues and questions I raised on some pro-Obama sites and was called moron and racist, and worse.

This type of ad is exactly what some of us warned Obama, his campaign, and his supporters would be coming from the Republican attack machine.

And with every warning we gave we were met with jeers, vile name calling, and racial slurs, and we were assured that hope and the new politics of inclusion would triumph.

Well, good luck with that. You are on your own now. After four months of being called all sorts of vile names from the likes of you and other Obama supporters I have finally had it. After Obama wouldn’t do revotes for MI and FL; after his supporters repeatedly said they knew the rules, I watch as millions are disenfranchised. After 42 years as a Democrat I am washing my hands of the Democratic Party.

Obama’s campaign is nothing more than the audacity of arrogance. You reap what you sow. And I shall not shed one tear for you or what happens to Obama in November. And its only just begun.

FYI: Comments sometimes disappear into the spam filter.

I’ve just realized that when I use the “BBCodeXtra” add on for Firefox to post a link, my comments got lost. So use the button above the comment box to post a link. Less irritation for you less aggravation for Susan.

This is not a negative ad. Have we become such wimps that we think that this ad is a negative one? Come one people

No, this ad asks and raises questions and everything in it is factual.

The negative stuff will come. This is just an appetizer in a 5 course meal.

You wanna know about the negative ads? Look for a 527 group out of Texas (i believe called coalition against drug users or something along those lines…a friend of mine told me about it yesterday and i have no proof of its existence)that is planning to run an ad about Obama drug use. They even have some of his friends on tap with whom he did cocaine confirming that. Of course, other groups are going to use all the crazy stuff of Rev. Wright (apparently there is a huge effort to find someone who can put Obama in Church during those sermons)and Michelle remarks about being proud for the first time and the “typical white person” remarks and so forth.

It looks like Obama is giving the finger in the first part of the video

Personally, I’m getting alot of axel grease dripping on me under the bus. Looks like they could clean the engine if we are going to have a long stay here.

Well considering that Obama supporters have said they don’t need the Hillary supporters votes, they have the AA vote and lots of other white voters to bring it home for Obama, and let see big mouth Donna told us to also leave and not waste her time, we have also heard Obama does not need FL and MI.

Considering all this why should Obama supporters now care if we take some joy in this new ad, you guys don’t need us remember, so let us all seek our personal satisfaction in what little we have now, and while you guys are trying to shield Obama from the Republican onslaught just remember we all told you so.

well, leave it to the Republicans. The editing of the audio track was horrible. Just sayin’ …

I was sent this video yesterday by an old Dem. friend, who said that this is the latest attack via the internet that is making the rounds. You may have all seen it—

http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036

I couldn’t help myself guys! Obama supporters will be talking just like this guy when the republicans get ahold of him:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvUNFmB7Jl8

I think the Obama stealth trolls are out here in full force. They just don’t get the depth of visceral repulsion to their toxic Messiah candidate and they think we’ll fall in line.
I myself have been on the fence till now about what to do with my vote should Obama be the Dem candidate.
I knew I couldn’t vote for him but now I can see that even the senile McCain would be better than this vile crook and I must do what I can to block his progress.
That means voting for McCain.
I also won’t vote for Hillary if she in any way ties herself to this little creep.
The media wants him. McCain won’t go negative. What are we to do ?
God help us all.

ATTENTION AMERICA!

Please read about the Michigan uncommitted vote scheme on Barack Obama’s website:

So here we are in Michigan with Barack not on the ballot and we still believe that we can win. That’s what I call hope. Yes, I was down after seeing Barack withdraw his name from the Michigan ballot, but we still have a choice to make. By voting “Uncommitted” on the January 15th ballot we can send a powerful message and set Barack up for a victory.

Here’s how it works.

STEP 1: Make sure you are registered to vote by the December 17th deadline.

STEP 2: On January 15, 2008 go to your local voting location and proudly cast your vote for Senator Barack Obama by voting “UNCOMMITTED” on the ballot.

STEP 3: Remeber not to write-in Senator Obama. If you do the vote will not be counted. By Michigan election law, Barack would have until the 2nd Friday prior to election day to officially declare himself a valid write-in. If that does not happen then writing his name on the ballot will not count.

STEP 4: After we send a powerful message through our “UNCOMMITTED” campaign we will all need to be registered with the Michigan Democratic Party so that we will be able to vote in the District Conventions. If we have enough Uncommitted votes in the primary then District Conventions will be required in order to select which candidates recieve the delegates from Michigan. District Conventions will be held on March 29th and only MDP members can vote.

Bottom line is that Barack can still win Michigan even though he is not on the ballot.

and this…

PLEASE PASS THE WORD

There will be a conference call for all Obama supporters in Michigan on Tuesday, Jan. 8. Please check the michigandersforobama.com website tomorrow to get the time and call in number.

We will be discussing the Jan. 15 “Uncommitted” vote and how to turn those Jan. 15 “Uncommitted” votes into electing “Uncommitted delegate on March 29, 2008 to go to the Democratic National Presidential Convenvention in Denver, Colo where we then can declare as committed delegates for Sen. Obama.

This is unconscionable! Please help spread the word on the Obama campaign’s uncommitted vote scheme in Michigan.

Read this article to see Obam’s lies:

The Obama campaign had no problems when its supporters and allies in Michigan ran radio ads and other campaign activities urging people to vote for “Uncommitted” as a way to register their support for Senator Obama — and to give him a chance to compete for those delegates at the national convention… Now, with polls in recent days showing that effort and their candidate running far behind in both states, the Obama campaign has shifted tactics to say that those who cast a vote in either state don’t matter. We couldn’t disagree more.

Team Obama, meanwhile, says they weren’t campaigning or encouraging an Uncommitted vote: “The Obama Campaign is not participating in the Primary and has not instructed supporters in Michigan whether or how to vote,” said a statement from Obama spokesman Bill Burton. “The results of the (Michigan) primary have no bearing on the Democratic nomination contest.”

http://iowaindependent.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1834

The Obama campaign has now been caught i a BIG lie concerning Michigan! Proof of those lies are still on Obama’s website in the links mentioned above.

Obama voluntarily took his name off the ballot in Michigan to avoid losing to Hillary Clinton in Michigan between Iowa and New Hampshire. Then his he and his campaign did campaign in Michigan by pushing their supporters to vote uncommitted. Then when they lost in Michigan, they have done everything they can to block those delegates from being seated as voted.

Please help spread the word!

The Obama campaign campaigned in Michigan in violation of the no campaign pledge they signed. The proof of that is on Obama’s own website. Names of people, phone numbers, links to the flyers used. It is all there and the Obama camapign has yet to scrub it from their site. America deserves to know the truth about Obama’s uncommitted vote scheme in Michigan and his lies to try and cover up his tracks. It’s all on the Obama website! Obama voluntarily removed his name from the Michigan ballot and then in a calculated effort, worked to push his supporters to vote uncommitted. Obama lost Michigan. Hillary won Michigan! The votes in Michigan have been cast, counted, and certified. The delegates from Michigan MUST be allowed to count and be seated for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic NATIONAL Convention in Denver.

Check it out and spread the word!

PLEASE ACT NOW!!

THANK YOU!!

Actually, as a long-suffering Clinton supporter, I would like Obama to answer those Republican questions! He can’t dodge and weave much longer. The chickens are coming home to roost.

we (democrats) are so screwed come november.

unless. . .

After seeing Obama’s campaign, I now know why Republicans hate Democrats so much. Heck, after seeing this ad, it makes me want to be a Republican and I’m Canadian.

If the Republicans want Hillary voters, they should just go as nasty as possible. Hillary voters will love it. Finally, the Obama supporters will see what it was like for Hillary supporters to bear the brunt of unfair and brutal attacks by the Obama campaign, all the while wrongfully being accused of those very same tactics.

The sad part about this ad is that it’s an official ad from the RNC, and it’s not even harsh. Yet these are basic questions they will pummel him with in the general.

The 527s, of course, will not be so genteel.

That the DNC refuse to acknowledge this empty suit’s negatives would be laughable, if it weren’t so mind-blowingly sad. This is 2004 deja vue all over again.

Just words…Just Speeches…

Delicious - using his own words against him. And “empty rhetoric” just perfectly encapsulates his message.

Betcha the prominent middle finger in the first picture is no accident.

Whoa! And they’re just warming up!

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you or me,
Said I,”But Joe, you’re ten years dead.”

“I never died,” said he. “I never died.
Remember me, and don’t vote for Barak Obama.
Where working folks are cheering for Hillary,
That’s where you’ll find Joe Hill.”

What do you want to bet, BO never heard of Joe Hill?

I’m 58, a progressive, and have worked around politicians all my life, having had a career as a lawyer for the federal government. I am also sensitive to intelligence issues because of my family background. I have three daughters, and one of my main political goals is to ensure that they will be treated fairly in life. Consequently, the composition of the Supreme Court is very important to me. I have supported Ms. Clinton because I have grave security concerns about Mr. Obama. In short, I feel that the beliefs he states in public are not those he holds in private. There is too much smoke in his past associations. I am honestly concerned that he may be an individual who holds highly dangerous beliefs, beliefs nurtured by individuals such as Wright, Dohrn, etc., who are angry and somewhat delusional activists. Right now, I cannot vote for Mr. Obama.

Thanks for posting the video. I wish the Dems supporting Hillary had produced this video earlier and used it.

McCain will gte my vote if Obama is the nominee. I do not want to belong to the Democratic Party if the candidate that it puts in front of the American people has ties to terrorist (I don’t care if they are only former terrorists)and The Anti-American, Anti-Jewish, Anti-Italian, Anti-Etc. Church. Obama financially supported a church and reverend who blatantly preached hate and bigotry, when you buy it you own it.

That’s not even swift-boat stuff yet; just the regular Dems will raise your taxes plus empty suit newbie stuff.

YES WE CAN! HA! yes they can whine and complain.

Ben Smith has posted this statement by Senator Kennedy on his Politico.com site.

Kennedy: No veep slot for Clinton

It’s fun to think about, but there are so many obstacles, and Ted Kennedy isn’t buying, he said on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital With Al Hunt,” which airs this weekend.

“I don’t think it’s possible,” he told Hunt of the joint ticket, continuing that:

Obama should choose a running mate who “is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people,” Kennedy said. “If we had real leadership — as we do with Barack Obama — in the No. 2 spot as well, it’d be enormously helpful.”

Ouch.
By Ben Smith 12:48 PM

Anyone wishing to chastize Senator Kennedy for this insulting remark towards a former First Lady and fellow Senator can e-mail him at senator@kennedy.senate.gov

There is little doubt that California will go Democratic in November. Unless it’s polling really close, I’ll write in Hillary. As bad as I think Obama will be, McCain will be worse. Bet on it.

My worry is that if Obama wins, the job will be too much for him, the GOP will be voted back in in 2012, and both the party and African-American politicians will suffer for years due to his incompetence. Damn, I hope I’m wrong.

For the first time in my adult life, I’m not proud to be a Democrat. Threats of violence, gleaming if not hauting stares in the precincts, raw emotion: simmering and boiling, fear. Voting was not a pleasant experience for me this time - it was incredibly intimidating but at least I got to vote behind a curtain.

The media’s handling of the primary has been biased and filtered from at least the middle of 2006. The portrait that the press and pundits paint is not the portrait that we, the invisibles, necessarily see. One candidate long declaring that they would support the other no matter what the outcome - the other hesitant to commit because it is only about winning.

As we near a final decision we see that this has been a primary waged at an intellectual and philosophical level - read my book…look at my dot.com.

Any time a weight or measuring gauge has been introduced into the conversation, the stage has been reset so that something more dramatic replaces the focus on a solution.

One campaign has been about finding and offering solutions the other about advancing personal agendas and maintaining the status quo - one can read through the list of superdelegates and readily deduce this. The dividing line goes all the way back to “universal health care”. One candidate attempting to put together a plan to offer to all Americans - as a starting point - the other allowing exclusions.

Why? Exclusions would allow the wealthy and elite to maintain their status quo. Wealth begats wealth. Money talks…one candidate has been very careful to make sure that tax breaks afforded to the wealthy remain as they are.

This has been all about proportions…in an attempt to balance the electoral map there is a serious imbalance in the formula 1 delegate = _____ votes.

There is yet hope but these are sad, very sad days.
I can no longer financial support the current DNC and will not. As an American though, I can choose to vote for the candidate that I feel represents my interpretation of the US Constitution and what it represents in November.

In some ways casting a vote for another party may also be making a statement about the MSM. We, the people, deserve a fair and balanced coverage of candidates and events. We have not been given that!

Why are the Obamabot trolls allowed to post here? They’ve taken over HuffPo, the Daily Orange Stalinist plus MSNBC and CNN. I understand that REAL Democrats like Hillary supporters don’t believe in censorship or rigged elections, denying voters rights like the Obama zealots but still this should be a place of refuge from those of us who have all but been kicked out of our own party by this “new” coalition of ill bred snots, latte drinking snobs and “only race matters, not policies” AA.

Perhaps they are so convinced that Precious is the nominee that they’re trolling every pro Hillary blog on a mission to get our vote. FAT CHANCE!

We know you consider us nothing more than bitter, uneducated, racist Archie Bunkers but never the less desperately need our vote in the event that BO should be given the nomination OVER the will of the people. But your campaign has sent you out to try “to make nice” with Hillary supporters and lull us into a false sense of “we’re all one” bs.

We are NOT one! We will never ever forget the vileness, disrespect and yes hatred with which Hillary Clinton and her supporters have benn treated in recent months. We will remember everything that was said and done well into November and beyond. Good luck with your new coalition…all 20% of you.

OMG! You ALL must go watch this wonderful Mother’s Day video emailed to me by Chelsea! It’s so beautiful! Send Hillary a Mother’s Day wish!

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/feature/mothersday/?sc=1846&utm_source=1846&utm_medium=e

Is EVERYONE around here a Republican? Do you HONESTLY think that the GOP would NOT run negative, misleading ads against ANY Democrat?

Obama is going to kick McCain’s ASS in the fall, with or without you!

And if you EVER believed in what Hillary stands for, you would vote for Obama in A SECOND over 100-years of war, more Scalia’s on the bench McCain! I know Hillary will be voting for and supporting Obama in the fall (and may even, to his chagrin, be his running mate). . .

Here’s MY QUESTION (s) on FOREIGN POLICY!!!!
”
Today’s Foreign News that Obama Probably Doesn’t Know a Thing About…”

http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/

Who can forget that interview way back in 2000 when George W. Bush was asked who was heading Pakistan? Bush dismissively answered that it was some general and that it didn’t matter if he couldn’t recall the name, because he would be surrounded by advisers who knew all this stuff.

Were you impressed then? I sure wasn’t and I’m not impressed with Obama’s “expertise” on foreign policy either. His policies speeches may come chapter and verse straight from the party platform and he can buddy all he wants with Jimmy Carter…but that sort of “foreign policy by association” doesn’t cut it with me, especially after seeing Bush and Cheney in action. Spending a few years in Indonesia as a kid, having a dubious relationship with Odinga in Africa, and never having the curiosity to explore Europe doesn’t count either.

So, when I ask if Obama knows the name of the current Japanese prime minister it’s because I want to see his ATTITUDE when he answers. Is he going to act like Bush?

I wake up to the BBC World Service news every morning via shortwave radio and in about 5 minutes I learn more than I could ever learn from the American media. Today was a BIG NEWS DAY on at least 3 fronts–Russia, Lebanon, and, yes, Japan. Having followed a lot of the related news while churning out the World Media Watch for Buzzflash for quite a few years, the stories I heard really woke me up, fast! Because the spectre of Obama (or McCain) reacting to some of the situations reported gave me a kick in the gut.

MORE MORE MORE at my blog post….

I could have sworn I’d already posted this here, but I didn’t see it. Enjoy - this is fantastic, and very encouraging!

by J. Gold

We are a Month Away from Victory day, we We Will Win - and the Media know it. The enemy knows it. Their collaborators know it. All are desperately trying to save Obama from the inevitable confrontation which will see him reduced to rubble. Pundits and journalists are going all out to bail-out his behind - before they see their chances of Unholy Redemption, evaporate.

Don’t let anyone steal your vote, by telling you it has already been thrown in the rubbish. Victory is ours for the taking. Hold on to June 8th - and you will see.

Dear Lord, those people can write!

IS HILLARY DONE? seems like polling firm stuck the fork in her…

‘Race Is Over’: Polling Firm to Quit Asking Clinton Questions

National polling firm Rasmussen Reports announced on Friday that it will stop polling people about the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton because her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, will win the Democratic nomination.

The company’s vice president of finance and operations, Michael Boniello, distributed an e-mail stating that after 19 months of tracking the Democratic race, it is now clear that Clinton will remain a close second.

The following is an excerpt from Boniello’s e-mail:

“The most remarkable feature of the race has been its consistency and stability. Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are both running historic campaigns and both have captured the votes and hearts of distinct and important constituencies within the Democratic Party. Obama has won Primaries in states where the demographics favor his campaign and Clinton has won in the states that favor her campaign.

However, while Senator Clinton has remained close and competitive in every meaningful measure, she is a close second and the race is over. It has become clear that Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

At the moment, Senator Clinton’s team is busily trying to convince Superdelegates and pundits that she is more electable than Barack Obama …Even if every single Superdelegate was convinced that the former First Lady is somewhat more electable than Obama, that is not enough of a reason to deny him the nomination.

With this in mind, Rasmussen Reports will soon end our daily tracking of the Democratic race and focus exclusively on the general election competition between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama.”

The e-mail also stated that the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday showed Barack Obama attracting 47 percent of the vote, while John McCain earned 44 percent.

Rasmussen Reports conducts daily tracking results via nightly telephone surveys.

i wounlnt dought some day i will hear[ i was a republican all the time and i screwd the democrats. na na na na na]

I wonder what the Rasmussen poll will say in October, after Obama’s media leghumpers have turned on him (you know they will, don’t you? Mrs. Greenspan?, Timmy?, CNN? General Electric? Lol!). I’d hate to be one of the Obama Faithful in the trenches then.

The “I Told You Sos” post November will be deafening. Howie, and Donna, and John, and Teddy, and Nancy…You betcha!

As dense as I am, I’m beginning to realize many Obatians don’t have the faintest idea of what his policies are - or what he has supported in the past. For instance, some support O because of his “energy policy,” not even knowing that O voted for Cheney and Oil buddies so-called energy policy. I doubt if they have bothered to examine how ideas/policies, etc. stack up in comparison. If they do, they will find O is relatively close to many repub policies, i.e. the privatization of social security; a health care plan that leaves out millions of people, push for school vouchers and charter schools, and a continuation of bush/reagan economic policies which advocate PRIVATIZATION or elimination of many government programs - just as the Chicago Boys from Milton Friedman’s Chicago School advocate. Getting rid of Roosevelt’s New Deal is one of their prime battles. It’s a recipe for disaster for millions of low income people - which this type of economics policy accepts as part of doing business.

I think part of the gasoline “crises,” created by the futures market, is also invented to create the “economic disaster” which fosters so much change. All this is outlined in Naomi Klein’s the Shock Doctrine, and if you haven’t read it, you must. Also “splains a lot.”

Obama is a dangerous, dangerous, unknown and shadowy figure to be installing in the WH. America will live to regret it if we should be so unfortunate as to elect him.

This is what this election is all about. It’s not between personalities, but the continuation of policies that insist on reaming the lower and middle classes into oblivion.

Pure and simple. The Democratic party has been hijacked by the extreme left wing, just as the Republican party was hijacked by the extreme right wing. Most Americans do not support extremists in this country anymore than they do in other parts of the world. They will vote for the candidate who is seen as the more moderate regardless of party affiliation. The Republicans know this, that is why McCain ended up with the nomination. It was their only chance in hell, after these last 8 years, of keeping the presidency. That is why Hillary is staying in this race. She is able to capture those votes for the Democratic party. If Obama gets the nomination, enough of those votes will go to McCain, mine included, and he will win in November.

Will Obama make his campaign more inclusive with orations about the bitter white Christian gunowners?
What’s next, speaking critically of pickups on gravel roads?

Nice use of the WECAN refrain. It’s a reheated acronym for Woodlawn East Community And Neighbors. Let’s hope his policies aren’t rewrites from his Rezko and other assorted cronies days.

Thanks for the video. I am certain this is the first time that I have seen a republican video in my 51 years of life and entirely agreed with it.

I just had my first of many “they’re right” moments.

Round one of: republicans vs obamacans.

Hillary will watch from the sidelines and step in just after they beat the crap out of him.

This is awesome! I love that ad, it so beautifully calls out baby Barack for refusing to answer questions. LOL! Can’t WAIT to see what the 527s do. It’ll work in Hillary’s favor that Obamalamadingdong has declared himself the presumptive Democratic nominee (he’s a lot of things, but Democratic sure isn’t one of them!). Now the weakling will confront real attacks from Republicans. Bring it on!! Yahoo!

You know the “Democratic” party has completely self-destructed when they push a candidate SO NEFARIOUS that lifelong Democrats agree with the Republicans. And no, if Hillary is not the nominee we will not be ‘good little girls’ and vote for the boy. We’ll vote for the €€man, John McCain!

I sent for my voter re-registration form yesterday. I will switch from Democrat to Independent.

How can I continue to support a party whose leaders say thing like the following? This is Ted Kennedy on why Obama probably won’t or shouldn’t pick Clinton as his VP.

‘Kennedy, 76, without naming names, said Obama should pick someone who “is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people. If we had real leadership — as we do with Barack Obama — in the No. 2 spot as well, it’d be enormously helpful,” Kennedy said.’

I am really beginning to hate the Demnocratic leadership - Dean, Brazile, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry….

I hope McCain kicks Obama’s ass in the fall……

I keep reading Obama trolls promoting his candidacy against McBush and many Hillary supporters who emphatically state that they will vote for McBush rather than support Obama. On issues, I actually AGREE that voting for McBush makes little sense. HOWEVER, whoever becomes POTUS in January, 2009, will inherit a gigantic shit sandwich so it’s not as though we would be doing the GOP ANY favors if McBush somehow manages to squeak past Obama.

Frankly, there is NO WAY IN HELL that I am voting for McBush, but thus far, I have not seen a good reason to support Obama either. It took Obama a LONG time to finally commit himself to support Hillary Clinton, if she were to win the nomination–and to my knowledge, Michelle Obama’s last comment on supporting Hillary Clinton, if she were to somehow become the Democratic presidential nominee, was that she “would have to think about it”, which doesn’t exactly fit my definition of a “loyal Democrat”.

With the various gaffes that have come out of the Obama campaign (e.g., “first time” that Michelle was really “proud” of her country, Barack’s comment about invading Pakistan, the “bitter” remark, “the claws come out” remark, etc.), I cannot help but wonder if an Obama presidency would not be more destructive than a McBush presidency with a strong Democratic Congress that McBush will have to work through to get ANYTHING accomplished.

Having said that, I still currently plan to vote for the Democratic ticket in November (yes, even Obama), unless, of course, Obama becomes the nominee and manages to pick a really bad running mate. I am NOT “happy” about the prospect of voting for Obama because I honestly believe that this man is a VERY weak candidate for POTUS, not only because he has never really been truly vetted (i.e., the media have given Obama a “free pass” for most of the campaign) but also because he lacks the experience and intellectual depth to handle the job. And worst of all, Obama is too damned arrogant to recognize just how inexperienced and ill-equipped he is to handle the job! When Obama commented that he would be looking for a running mate that “knew about a lot of stuff” that he was weak on, the question was asked if that meant that he would be looking for foreign policy expertise in a running mate, to which Obama responded that foreign policy was the one area where he felt like he knew MORE than just about anyone else! All I can say is, God help us if this arrogant fool actually believes such crap! As I recall, the moron (BUSH!) that we have now also seemed to believe that he, too, knew so much MORE about foreign policy than Al Gore or Bill Clinton–that his foreign policy would be so much “better” than that of Bill Clinton’s because he would NEVER engage in “nation building” or invading countries without good reason. And then, we get Iraq! Need I say more?

After 8 years of unparalleled arrogant incompetence, the ONE trait that many of us want above all else is COMPETENCE! From what I have seen of Obama thus far, I am not convinced that he would provide competence. I particularly worry about Obama’s arrogance–that’s what got this country in the giant hole it currently occupies–having a president who is too damned arrogant and self-assured to even ponder another viewpoint on ANY issue. If that’s what Obama has to offer, then I will write someone in, and I will NOT shed a tear if McBush prevails in the process–at least, McBush is not a completely incompetent fool!

I cancelled everything: MoveOn, Democracy for America(DFA), Michael Moore, TureMajority and oh, DNC too. I totally stopped my monthly contribution. As to DNC, I told them no more money or any form of support until all delegates of MI and FL are seated.

Please count Florida, why is Guam counted and not Florida? Did Guam become a State? Hey everyone Florida is a State! Count our vote!

I have voted in every election at every level of local, state and federal government that I could since I turned 18, proudly marking D all the way down the ticket every time.

No more. I’ve already been over to the McCain folks, where I received a very gracious welcome along with many, many other Hillary supporters. I know who I’ll be voting for in November.

I mean, if I’m in a party that is using GOP tactics, like vote suppression, intimidation, and racist dogwhistles, I may as well be in the GOP. Besides, have Republican friends so I know they’re not all evil troglodytes. I don’t think McCain is evil (although I do think Bush is). Stealing votes and disenfranchising voters, to me that is evil.

Here’s another benefit to voting McCain. For the first time in many, many, many, many years (actually not since I voted for that hood-wearing KKK member Bill Clinton), I’ll be voting on the winning side. It’ll be a nice change.

Well, I would’ve had fun posting tonight, but having another post ate by now flood control — nope. Takes time to post and to have it disappear without a trace (between sending and page refresh even), it’s time to post at other venues.

Have fun guys and gals.
