Oh yeah,and those so-called “insignificant” PUMA Democrats voting for McCain…
nah…”moving right along,nothing to see here,folks…/heh.

Nov.4,2008 Welcome our new President John McCain and Vice President Sarah Palin!

From the very beginning, Bush looked like a deer in headlights.

You and me both, Zim.

I’d indulge in hyperbole and say something like “I’ll go to my grave wondering how that SOB George Dubya hornswoggled so many suckers into voting him into power,”

but that would be silly.

Because it’s happening all over again.

I think this was the real deal for Hillary, and she has no chance ever again.

Riighhht. Who else do the Dems have to run that is not totally kooky? I would say she’ll have more support than ever should Obama lose.

HOW ABOUT DOING THEIR JOBS AND DEPORTING HER?????

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?????

This is completely absurd.

go mccain!

Your comment sent chills down my spine. This is similar to what Charles Manson believed: by instigating terror, he could hasten the civil race war called “Helter Skelter.” I thought that insane kind of thinking was long gone . . .

Change!

Horseshit!

My sentiments exactly, I couldn’t have said it better.

The tentacles of this financial problem are long and old, and go back well into the 1970s. What people refuse to see is that the world has been in a recession since 1973. Real wages have not increased, prices have gone through the roof and things are generally worse for people. As a 35 year-old engineering graduate, I make about $800 dollar less per year (adjusted for inflation) than my father did in 1973.

There has been a systematic program to bend the US government to the will of a tiny financial elite; no longer the manufacturer of what the world wanted, it’s industry began to decline. Instead of asking why this was so, the elites began to embrace the idea of a “service” economy, particularly financials and they have a vested interest in continuing not to be regulated. What people should be concerned about is how the tax playing field is skewed so badly against manufacturing as to be totally obscene. A corporation like GM generally has a base tax level of about 30% whereas may financial companies are taxed at the capital gains level of about 15%.

Guess where your industry is going to prefer? The “paper” industries of buying and selling to each other, inflating prices and making paper profit. This got the US through the 1980s until the party came crashing down. To get out of the next series of recessions, they either fudged the numbers (1992) or by using some form of bubble (1996-2000) and then (2002-2008). No President or Congress has ever tried to fix the problem … heck … they won’t even admit there is one (and if there is a problem, they blame the other party for it).

To blame the sinking of the Titanic solely on the captain ignores the more important problems of huge design flaws, like inadequate lifeboats. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac may have been the iceberg that set it off, but it was only a matter of time before something did. The OTC derivatives market makes the MBS madness look absolutely sane and the derivative market mess has not even been discussed nor has it exploded yet, in another one of those “Weapons of Financial Mass Destruction” that Warren Buffet labelled them as.

To blame a highly selective number of recent Democrats for the economic meltdown ignores the role of Republicans who were probably even more eager to deregulate, or as in the case of the shadow banking industry, to not even think about regulating.

What I can’t stand is how some Democrats are blaming Republicans for this mess when they never, ever opposed deregulation and never put forward any attempt to regulate what needed to be regulated…

Obama is a tool. Pelosi is a tool. McCain is a tool. The duopoly in the US is killing it. Like Bacevich wrote once, the American people see the next President as the one who will fix the mistakes of the current one but never putting pressure that they actually fix things because that would cost Americans on a personal level, whether from time away from TV to participate in local and national politics to ensure that problems are properly addressed, or by necessary increases in taxation levels.

Anyways, just my rant.

PLEASE GET OUT THE VOTE:

1-call family, friends this weekend and -make sure they know where they have to go to vote & ask if they need a ride.If they do, arrange for one.

2- Call your local Republican office and volunteer to work as OBSERVER at your local poll.

BY LAW, polling clerks MUST provide duplicate list of local registered voters at each polling location.
Polling clerks are supposed to update this list EVERY HOUR and keep it available for public review.

Check with your local Republican headquarters if anyone has been assigned to particular polling locations in your neighborhood to review this list.

If no one has been assigned, offer to go look through the book at around 5 or 6pm and see which registered voters names HAVE NOT BEEN CROSSED OFF YET.

IF their names have not been crossed off, it means they have not voted yet. If they have not voted yet, copy their phone numbers & CALL THEM IMMEDIATELY.

The book contains names, phone numbers, and addresses of the registered voters.

Call these registered voters who have not voted yet and remind them what time polls close, ask if they know which poll site they have to go to vote, ask t hem if they need help getting to the polls.Do this right up until the polls close.

PLEASE…THIS WILL BE A VERY VERY Tight race.
We need to make sure the registered voters vote.

Please copy this message and pass it on to friends and family and neighbors and colleagues.

Also the fact that nearly all the polling companies are over sampling based on “information” they get from the O-zero campaign about the millions of “new” voters. AND most people who hear the polling “results” do NOT understand what over sampling is — nor do they understand margin of error.

Yipee!

…they hold card board cutouts of people next to them.

OMG!

Thank you again to NQ. It helps me keep my blood pressure down…

You betcha!
