Great show…still listening…
Mr.Murder

The media page is full of good new:

Murders up, crime down.

Nice to see they have priorities, AN END TO JAYWALKING AND LITTERBUGS!
“Hello, metro PD, please hold on the homicide line. We have other crime statistics to crunch and claim success on….”

This is like fresh coats of paint for schools in Iraq. Is it really good news?
Mr.Murder

Unger is a heavy hitter. So is Kevin Phillips, who continued to dissect the GOP platform this past week with his CSpan rebroadcast on the macroeconomic picture of our economy.

It was a devastating diagnosis of the scale economy that we’re driving off a cliff in terms of the deficit.

I was hoping to hear about the birth certificate. But otherwise I loved the broadcast.

***FLASH*** Obama LIES and is caught (Dick Morris, Real Clear Politics

“Obama opposed the 1996 welfare reform act at the time. The Illinois law for which he takes credit, was merely the local implementing law the state was required to pass, and it did, almost unanimously. Obama’s implication — that he backed “moving people from welfare to work” — is just not true.”

“With Obama running the ad in all the swing states (Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia), this gross usurpation of credit affords the McCain campaign an incredible opportunity for rebuttal.”

“For the past two weeks, Obama has moved quickly toward the center. He has reversed his previous positions for gun control, against using faith based institutions to deliver public services, against immunity for tele-communications companies that turn records over to the government in terror investigations, for raising Social Security taxes, for imposing the fairness doctrine on talk radio, and a host of other issues.”

“McCain has watched passively as his rival repositions himself for November. Indeed, he has watched from afar as he took the time out to travel to Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, even though they have no electoral votes.”

“But now, there is a heaven-sent opportunity for McCain to strike. In his effort to move to the center, Obama has distorted his own record, meager though it may be, and is taking credit for a program he strongly opposed. McCain should immediately run an ad in all of the states in which his opponent is advertising setting forth the facts and explaining Obama’s distortion.”

“A good tag line for the ad would be: “John McCain: when you have real experience, you don’t need to exaggerate.”

“But, if McCain doesn’t answer, or just replies with his own positive ad, he will let Obama move to the center, a key mistake from which he may never recover. If Obama can hold his 5-10 point lead until the conventions, he will have set in place a pattern that will be very hard to change. With his new ad, Obama could even elevate his lead to double digits.”

“On the other hand, if McCain calls him on his distortion, he can do grave damage to Obama on three fronts: credibility, centrism, and experience. By catching Obama in a lie, he can undermine the effectiveness of any subsequent ads the Democrat runs. By showing that he opposed welfare reform, McCain can do much to force Obama back to the left and cast doubt on his efforts to move to the middle. And by emphasizing Obama’s limited experience, he can strike at a soft spot — made softer by Hillary’s attacks in the primary.”

“The move is right there for McCain. Now lets see how good his campaign really is.”

I’m not sure how hard McCain will hit back since Obama is not the nominee yet and there are packs of PUMAs around.
Mr.Murder

Everyone is all over McCain like he has to jump when they say.

If he jumps, they’re mad because he forgot to ask how high they wanted him to jump.

Meanwhile Obama continues defining himself as the same tired politics he claims to oppose.

Will McCain please talk so Obama’s gaffes don’t fill all the headlines? Fetch my fainting couch, stat!

Interestingly, of all people, Ralph Nader made a lot of sense, talking about universal health care. So glad they decided to run Hillary out of things so that topic can gain traction through the vote siphon, instead of as an issue for Democrats.

Were McCain wanting to minimize his own flops(or Obama) they’d claim their prior stand was based on the constituents. The flip flop occurred when they had to take on policy with more broad party support, from their perspective. It isn’t a position reversal so much as it is a party directive.

It would not pass the snuff test for things like FISA, but it does satisfy the hard line money backers and party apparatachiks. They get some kind of legitimacy tagged to the policy by explaining it in similar terms.

I usually find little that Dick Morris has to offer
anything but, irritating. However, this time, he
has seized upon an apparent and growing weakness in
this “presumptive, presumptuous nominee”.
It seems every action by the Obama camapaign is de-
signed to preclude any choice BUT Obama! This in-
cludes replacing delegates, intimidating delegates
and voters, to be assured of their vote.
His most ardent supporters are suprised at what we
knew all along, what he was seeking was the power
of the office, and would say or do anything to get
it. Exploit anyone, anything.
When I think of Obama now, unfortunately, I also
think, the “Great Black Hype” as opposed to “Hope”.
That’s the feeling that he stirs in me now. It sad-
dens me.
W.O.R.M. is becoming a habit on the news. Is this
what we need as POTUS? I think NOT!
Oh…and the stadium speech, nice touch, if you’re
all about IMAGE and me, me, me! The microphone
works “whoever” is giving the speech!
