\_ If McCain actually disavows the loony side of his Party, I will
be really impressed with him.
\_ It would be a lot more impressive if he hadn't spent the last
year give the loony side of his Party delicious blowjobs.
\_ Why would McCain strategy #12321 be impressive?
\_ Because it would take some real moral courage.
\_ No, what would have taken moral courage would have been
not to cozy up with the loony side in the first place.
It doesn't take courage to stop being dispicable after
you've discovered that's being dispicable is a losing tactic.
It doesn't take courage to stop being despicable after

\_ Life isn't always scripted you know. It is possible that
McCain did not realize that palling around with Rove's
team would lead to such a lynch mob mentality. I certainly
was expecting an ugly campaign, but nothing like the near-
riot levels of hysteria from the Right. Pulling the
country back from that kind of political violence speaks
well of McCain's character.

how he ran his campaign.
\_ You are almost as dumb as George W. Bush. I am hardly
giving him a "pass" in fact if he does not change
the tone of his campaign, I will be the first to
call him on it. It would be nice if he did the
right thing, though I am not holding my breath.

Gee, I guess he really is senile then, because

\_ No, I am not saying that at all. I am saying that if
he admits that he made a mistake and does his best
to rectify it, it will make him an unusually morally
courages and admirable person. It is rare that anyone
does something like this, in my experience, and
especially rare for the fragile egomaniacs that end
up in politics. But it looks like I won't have to
re-assess him, because it looks like he isn't going

years ago is going to make John Mccain a viable Republican candidate.

10/11 Hilarious Acorn slimey lawyer. What a dirtbag.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goTICiFQoeE
\_ Josh Marshall has the clearest explanation for all this, but
I'm sure it won't penetrate your tinfoil hat:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/223436.php
\_ What it comes down to is the whole Acorn story is another
dangerous mistruth being spread by the McCain campaign.
McCain has proven over and over again he has no problem with
telling massive lies if he thinks it will help him.
\_ The gist is that Acorn pays unemployed and sometimes
even homeless people to collect signatures. This is
a dubious tactic, because the collectors have a huge
incentive to produce fake registration documents
in return for cold cash. This is is why the Democratic
party doesn't associate with Acorn. However, it's
not a sign of a nefarious plot of any kind, and in fact
there has never been a documented instance of anyone
trying to *use* these fake registrations. If you
register as a member of the Dallas Cowboys or
Mickey Mouse, you're not going to be able to vote.
Vote fraud occurs only if you *try* to make an
illegal *vote*. Acorn in fact reported a lot of the
fake registrations *themselves*. The fact is that
the right is trying to make a huge deal out of this
because they know they're going to lose and they
want to deligitamize the results. A coordinated vote
fraud effort of the sort suggested by the right is
a tinfoil hat fantasy that would be next to impossible
to pull off, and years of investigations by Bush
justice department officials have never turned up
anything.
\_ We need to find a way to turn right wing nutjob paniced desperation
into energy. It could get us off foreign oil in days. How do you
fall for this premptive THEY STOLE THE ELECTION bullshit? Are you
that stupid? Here's a hint. Every voter registration drive
gets bullshit registrations. That's why they are looked over
by the state. Acron does flag some as pretty obvious fakes but
STILL HAVE TO SUBMIT THEM. You are not allowed to collect
voter registrations and then throw some of them out. Otherwise
you would have sleazy registration drives where people who
"register" people and then decide "hey all these registrations
for the party I don't like, I think they are 'invalid'". (Although
that's more of a Republican tactic, consdidering the Republican
party seems to think legal disenfrancisment of legitimate minorty
voters an acceptable tactic.)
\_ What made me laugh about this guy is how he'd complain about
anyone interrupting, but constantly interrupted Fund. And
whenever he was factually called on issues (by the Dem official
in NV for instance) he's just spin and divert. Slimey lawyer.
Acorn is in trouble, seeing as it's being investigated in 12
states, and this guy isn't helping. -op
\_ Investigated by an administration that has turned the
justice department into a political tool. Investigated
by an adminstration the illegally fired federal prosecutors
who told them they weren't going to proscecute bogus voter
fraud cases. Investigated by an adminstration whose party
has tried time and time to illegally disenfrancise minority
voters purely because they tend to vote for the other party.
People who worry about a vast brown person voter fraud
army are one step below Ron Paul supporters. Then again,
you do watch Fox and Friends and think it is legit news.
\_ Actually, no I don't. But nice conspiracy theory there,
speaking of tinfoil hats. -op
\_ Then why did you post a Fox and Friends clip as if
was legit?
\_ Uh, the conversation took place, no?

her to public sex clubs and him trying to nail her in front

spot. More people voted for Obama than Alan Keyes.

value with the borrower, so that the government eats the loss

\- mccains mortgage repo idea is from martin feldstein ... who may

knows more about economics than you do, so trivial complaints
like "moral hazard, moral hazard!" are silly, espcially when you

\_ How old were you when Ayers co-authored an Annenberg grant that
netted nearly $50m over five years for the ailing Chicago school
system? How old were you when he became a Distinguished Prof at
UI Chicago?
\_ So murder is okay in your eyes if you get some grant money?
\_ Murder is always OK so long as you're one of the wealthy
elite. OJ Simpson and the Bush Administration are proof.
\_ No one was killed or even hurt by Ayers.
\_ So attempted murder is okay?
\_ Tell that to Diana Oughton
\_ "Oughton died in an explosion on March 6, 1970, in the
Greenwich Village townhouse explosion in New York
City, when a bomb she was constructing with Terry
Robbins accidentally detonated, destroying the
building and killing her, Robbins, and Ted Gold."
Waiting for explanation of Ayers' guilt here.
\- Nice of Hillary Clinton [the extreme liar]
to lay the groundwork for MCCAIN INC on this

Obama a liar on this. Check out Anderson Cooper:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvROBLortBQ

\_ $50 mil he completely wasted which did no good for any student.
There's a recommendation!
\_ Dude, he raised the money; if it was squandered, look to the
Administrators.
\_ You mean Obama?
\_ You mean you think Obama was the Superintendent of the
Chicago Unified School District?
\_ No, he was the chairman of the Chicago Anneberg
challenge. He decided when the money went. Sorry,
we've been over this before, and I don't have time
right now. Go look up where Obama spent the $100
million. It's very interesting.
\_ Yeah it is interesting and it looks like it was
a good experiment. How many billions get wasted
every week on Bush's little "experiment" in Iraq?
I would rather spend the money here, trying to
improve Chicago schools, but this is an area where
we obviously differ.

in large things.

10/5 Guess which VP candidate has read the Constitution?
PALIN: Of course, we know what a vice president does. And that’s not
only to preside over the Senate and will take that position very
seriously also. I’m thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more
authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose
to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are
supportive of the president’s policies and making sure too that our
president understands what our strengths are.
BIDEN: The only authority the vice president has from the legislative
standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no
authority relative to the Congress.
\_ He said "He". SEXIST.
\_ Of couse he won't say "she" at this point of the campaign. Just
like he'd say he already knows that the next president will be
black, even though deep in his mind he's not sure.
\_ But Palin has read the Russian Constitution!
\_ She can see it from her house!
\_ Palin is not entirely wrong. A Republican VP is more powerful than
a plain VP. Just look at how powerful Chaney is (seriously).
a plain VP. Just look at how powerful Cheney is (seriously).
\_ Research Cheney and the VP position. Constitutionally, VP has
no more power/responsibility than Biden says. Cheney has
_created_ new power for the VP position because "the goddamn
constitution is just a piece of paper." |

10/5 We witness here a great political lesson. When you are president, it
matters -- it really matters -- that a majority of the people support
and respect you. When you squander that affection, you lose more than
mere popularity. You lose the ability to lead when your country is in
crisis. This is a terrible loss, and a dangerous one, for the whole
world is watching.

has friends that are Congressional Democracts while Obama has

Iran without preconditions:

It's not a very good sounding soundbite. Presidents meet

Full transcript of the debate:
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/02/debate.transcript
\_ I know at least some of those New York Post "facts" are
disingenuous at best. For instance the leading general
in Afghanistan specifally said that, while he needs more
troops in Afghanistan a surge like in Iraq would not
be effective because the two contries different (ignoring
the question did the surge really work considering the
higher troop levels were still there and the whole point
of the surge was supposed to be a short term tactical
surge that would alleviate the need for a long term
force buildup.) Meanwhile Palin claims troop levels
in Iraq are lower than pre surge which is a flat out lie
and when called on it she insists that it is true. What
the hell is that?
\_ You know what I hate more than calling the NYPost a newspaper?
When supposed newspapers rely on paraphrases rather than
quotes, and then attack those paraphrases with opinion and
further paraphrases of poorly named sources rather than facts
and quotes. How hard would it be to line up a Biden quote with
a source showing an actual lie?
\_ They lost me at "For all the focus on Srah Palin's graceful
performance..."

enough, but i am not sure if doing nothing is better than
the current plan [i.e. cost the wall street and equity owners
what they should pay, but risk the unemployment rate going
up a few percent]. i think the real intervetion needs to
look like the WBUFFET "aid package" to GS ... tap their
cash flow in a bond-like way, and get equity stake ...

holding voting/non-voting equity. i would probably be ok

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/from-the-fact-1.html
\_ Sorry, this isn't even the same as the crap McCain/Palin are
pulling. It is an ugly attack ad. And ugly attack ads are sad.
But it isn't anywhere nearly as mendacious as McCain has been.
Oh and I'm sorry, the Republican party can't try to run away
from the fact that it's media presence is extremely xenophobic
and anti-Mexican. Nor does it help that McCain reverses himself
on these issues regularly.
\_ Sorry, but you'll have to try harder to justify this one.
Do you really think this is the sort of thing we need in the
White House? Misleading distortions and pandering to the fears
of immigrants but representing himself completely differently
depending on what group of people he addresses?
\_ So you don't think the Republican party has been aggessivly
anti-Mexican when it helps their cause? Really? From that
same blog post: "McCain has changed his rhetoric and his
emphasis when discussing immigration after almost losing
the GOP presidential nomination because of it." A nice way
of saying that McCain will say anything that sounds good.
\_ Do you think McCain has been? He's been the most
aggressive supporter of amnesty in the Senate.
\_ And yet he is now pandering to the Republican base
because his old views aren't popular. That's what
"changed his rhetoric" means. Just like the old
McCain was anti religious fundementalism but the
new McCain is happy to jump into bed with creeps
like Hagee. Pandering to the base does make you
responsible for what that base says.
\_ McCain has said since the public outcry that we have
to secure the border before immigration reform can be
readdressed. How is this pandering to "the base"?
80% of the country agrees with this.

"I think that’s significant, but even more significant is the role
that the lobbyists play in an issue like this also. And in that
cronyism  it’s symptomatic of the grade of problem that we see right
now in Washington and that is just that acceptance of the status quo,
the politics as usual, the cronyism that has been allowed to be
accepted and then it leads us to a position like we are today with so
much collapse on Wall Street."
NO CONTENT AT ALL. I have not read any economist or Treasury figure
blame 'cronyism' or 'politics as usual' for our economic meltdown.

9/16 Hey look at that, more blatant lies from team McCain.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/16/AR2008091603406.html
How can you trust anything McCain says?
\_ 1) It's blatant, btw
2) The article says that in 2005, AK accounted for 18 percent of
domestic production in 2005.
\_ The article says 7.4 percent or 13 percent depending on
if you want to give Palin credit for forgetting that
"oil and gas" includes natural gas. And if you the percentage
declines from 18 to 13 percent WHILE YOU ARE IN CHARGE
you should know that. Not to mention that the first time
she made up these numbers she was claiming 20 percent of
ALL DOMESTIC ENERGY when the actual number was 3.5%.
Good thing she "knows more about energy than probably
anyone."
\_ My point is that calling this a "blatent [sic] lie" is a
bit much. Yes it's an exaggeration, and should be
corrected. But "how can you trust anything" is
ridiculous. The fact that WaPo is essentially part of the
Obama campaign should add further skepticism.
\_ McCain's campaign cavalier attitude with the truth
is McCain's fault, not Obama's. Frankly the last
8 years of being governed by an administration
that thinks they can make their own reality was
enough for me.
\_ Oh you poor poor Republicans, with the media plotting
against you and all. Now the WSJ is part of the
evil liberal media empire, too, isn't it?

it wasn't... the financial industry is still tightly bound
up with the operation of the Federal Reserve, and the current
bailout activity is proof that the government was never
absent.
\_ McCain now has come on board, too:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/6msbxe
\_ And you believe him? McCain dosn't exactly have a good
track record of telling the truth or sticking to his word.
Why do you think one speech means he has suddenly done
a 180 on this? Is the "McCain is pandering" explanation
more likely?
\- mccain's point man on this is martin feldstein, who is very
smart, but is also significantly involved with AIG. although
obama's point man robert rubin might be corrupted too.

9/16 (Brought up with update)
Interesting old NYTimes article. It seems Bush tried to overhaul
Fannie and Freddie regulation 5 years ago, but was blocked by Dems.
http://csua.org/u/mdc
\_ Thanks, this renewed my faith in McCain
\_ How was it blocked by Dems if the GOP had a majority of both
houses of Congress?
\_ Newer NYTimes article. The house DID pass a reform bill 3 years
ago (with bipartisan support) but it died in the Senate after
Greenspan and the Bush administration opposed it, according to
the former Republican congressman who had pushed for it.
http://csua.org/u/mdd
\_ McCain apparently sponsored the this Bill in the Senate, but
it never made it out of committee. http://csua.org/u/me8
\_ Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) said: "I'm always for less
regulation" and referred to himself as "fundamentally, a
deregulator."
\_ So what? So am I, but Freddie and Fannie were a
terrible implementation of priviatization and
deregulation. What kind of idiot says to businessmen
"Ok, I'll take all the risk, and you can have all the
profits. We'll have congress watch you." That's
just flat out retarded.
\_ So far, I have never seen a politician come out and
say "I am in favor of bad government" but it is amazing
to watch the GOP go from "government is bad" to
"nationalize everything" in two weeks.
\_ As a free market person I am disappointed in the
actions of the GOP. I don't much care for the
GOP, but WTF are they thinking? My take:
1) Preserve stock equity for their cronies
2) Pander to the public ahead of the election
No honest Republican or fiscal conservative wants
any part of this crap plan they are wasting taxpayer
money on. In fact, who *does* want it other than
Wall Street? Why should the gov't bail out Wall
Street? The gov't is broke. Wall Street has been
raking in massive profits. The US banking system
will be just fine. Reprice the debt, declare a
loss, and move on. Good ideas will still find
capital. There's a lot of money flowing in the
markets around the world.
\_ The entire world is a free market. If the
US government is incompetent, good people
with good ideas will simply move their ideas
to countries where it is profitable for them.
If the US government is unfit to compete, then
it deserves to die. -free market person
\_ The problem is that so much of our economy is
based on nothing -- just moving numbers around
computer systems. Financial markets are supposed
to support real markets, not the other way around.
\_ Nationalization of Freddie and Fannie is a good thing. It should
never been privatized. |

I'm going to say this is a really shitty move by the McCain
campaign. Defend yourself.
\_ How so?
\_ So it now says: "Each class or course in comprehensive sex
education offered in any of grades K through 12 shall
include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted
infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread
of HIV." This statement does not require that kindergarteners
be taught sex ed, and I highly doubt that was Obama's intent.
Requiring that little kids be told that "you can get bad
diseases from adults touching you inappropriately" seems a much
more credible interpretation. McCain is just a slimeball.
\_ not only that, but it says "Each class ... *offered* in any
of grades ... *shall include* ... [etc]". This doesn't add
anything unless there was a class covering it already |

9/11 best lipstip on pig controversy comment
http://undercoverblackman.blogspot.com/2008/09/useless-irony-of-day.html
it is almost getting so bad i want to confront McCain supporters with
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING????????????????????????????????
\_ if Obama didnt have an inkling that statement would cause a
stir especially after the Lipstick and bulldog comment,
then he is too clueless to be a diplomat and will lead us
to more wars.
\_ Bullshit. This was a total nothing, and if it didn't make
for an interesting horserace story the press would have
ignored it like it should have been. Stop pretending there's
any story here beyond McCain trying to outdo Bush in sleazy
campaigning.
\_ I already confront Obama supporters with that question. You want
to hire a guy with no clue what he's doing, why?!?
\_ I think Obama has a clue. I think McCain is too old, going
slightly senile, is in danger of dying at any moment, has a
bizarre world view where the US can simultaneously occupy Iraq
Iran and Russia. I think Palin may be a nice enough person
but she's not ready to be president. Her interview from last
night demonstrates this. She has no clue. The last couple of
McCain bits where he infers that Obama was teaching sex ed to
kindergartners make me a little sad.
\_ I have yet to see any evidence that Obama has even the tiniest
of clues. Everything he says is pre-scripted to the audience
he is talking to. Which makes him the equivelent of a
modivational speaker.
\_ Yes but I love moDivational speakers, and so do a bunch
of people. McCain is too old to energize and synergize
the next generation of hope.
\_ Most policy is set by the people the President hires. Who
do you think will surround themselves with a better staff?
\_ This is a video from the MTV Q&A session in 2007. While
not great on too much detail, I thought that Obama did a
fair job of presenting the case for Net Neutrality and
explaining the issue to an MTV-level audience. His
response is not pre-scripted, but you can see that he's
thought about the issue:

"Most Democrats don't understand that politics is more like religion than it is like shopping." \_ BRAWNDO! IT'S WHAT PLANTS NEED! \_ http://yourmorals.org I thought I was a liberal but it turns out that I'm a moderate. On the 5 foundations (harm, fairness, loyalty, authority, purity), I am consistently in between. \_ This is an interesting test. I line up very strongly with liberals on fairness, purity and authority scores, but I have high loyalty and less concern for harm (like a conservative). I always have prefered the moniker "armed liberal" to describe myself, though, so this fits. \_ "Whether or not someone violated standards of purity and decency." How the hell do you answer a question like that without knowing what the standards of purity and decency are? \_ How *do* you answer it? Don't you think there is a standard? If not, you are probably a liberal. \_ Right, because only conservatives are decent. \_ A conservative certainly wouldn't have to ask what the standards of purity and decency are, would they? \_ Yep, they'd believe in the wrong answer already. c.f. torture. \_ If this is somehow part of your definition of conservative v. liberal, your definition needs some serious re-evaluation. \_ No, it is you who needs to do some serious self- examination. Conservatives have a legitimate reason to bash liberals for "moral relativism" and the sooner you understand why, the more you will understand about the debate. And I am a liberal, by the way, but at least I have bothered to take the time to understand what Conservative positions are grounded in. \_ So there's no moral relativism to being gung-ho about torture? There's no moral relavtivism to to treating terrorists differently if they are white and christian? You are confusing recationary xenophobia with something else. \_ Are these serious questions or are you just being rhetorical here, it is hard to tell. I see nothing in The Bible that prohibits torture, in fact there are parts that seem to indicate it is permissible. Your claim that conservatism is xenophobic precisely misses the point. \_ What does The Bible have to do with it? Torture being ok for brown and/or poor people but not for good decent folks is a fine example of having relative morals. Or do you think the republican party is going to start putting people in "stress positions" until they start talking about insider trading? \_ Don't confuse "the republican party" with conservatism. I know more than one evangelical in my family would have no problem with giving the FNM execs a serious beating. And other Wall Street types. I don't think their point of view is unusual. \_ The new testament is pretty seriously against torture. Matthew 5, and 5:39 in particular, Matthew 25:31-46, John 9:7 to take a few obvious verses. -tom \_ http://preview.tinyurl.com/3kteeh \_ http://preview.tinyurl.com/3n63ux \_ Almost all of that is in the Old Testament. And the New Testament references don't imply that it's OK for people to torture other people. -tom \_ This asinine insistence that "conservatives" have some sort of monopoly on moral certitude has no basis in reality. Some liberals have similarly inflexible morals ("All corporations are evil." "Profits are immoral." "Israel's actions in the occupied territories are war crimes." "The military should be abolished.") "Moral relativism" is a bullshit charge leveled against people who don't share your particularly restrictive morality while deliberately ignoring whatever moral code they might actually have. (Cf. Rick Santorum's assertion that legalizing homosexual marriage will lead to legalization of bestiality and pederasty.) If the question is "whether or not someone violated" MY "standards of purity and decency," then yes, that would be particularly important to me. If the question is "whether or not someone violated" Fred Phelps' "standards of purity and decency," I really couldn't give a fuck. \_ I have all the right to sodomize you as long as I have the power to do so. Yes! \_ See now, if that had been the question, there would have been no ambiguity. \_ Let's see what is the dictionary defintion of the word "liberal": # Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. # Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. It is not my fault that you have decided that the word "liberal" means something different than what it means to the rest of the English speaking population. The fact that "some (self-identified) liberals" do not fit the definition doesn't mean you get to twist it to suit your own personal agenda. Good luck on your newspeak efforts though. agenda. Good luck on your Newspeak efforts though. Do I really need to pull up the dictionary definition of conservative to make my point? \_ Nothing in those definitions implies moral relativism. It just implies having an open mind. Having strong ethics and morals does not mean someone is closeminded or a bigot. I don't think newspeak means what you think it does. \_ Yes, please. And while you're at it, discuss why the Right Wing Conspiracy continues to belittle people with fixed but opposing views as "liberal." *I* didn't decide on this definition or culture-war distinction; I prefer the word "progressive." |

9/10 McCain is morally unfit to be president
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/mccains-integri.html
\_ From the guy saying we should interview Palin's OB to find out if
Trig is really her baby?
\_ So you've got nothing to respond to his charges.
\_ No, just that everything that comes out of Sullivan's face
should be viewed with healthy skepticism. I'll look into it
when I have time.
\_ Translation: Sullivan is 100% right but I'm going to
stick my fingers in my ears and say LALALALALA I CAN'T
HEAR YOU.
\_ Obama fan desperation level red!
\_ Don't your ears hurt when you jam those fingers in so
deep.
\_ No, I hadn't read it. Now I have. Wow, what a loon. He
says that McCain lacks integrity because:
1) He didn't endorse Kerry in 2004
2) He didn't vote to outlaw tortore "as bad and worse
than the torture inflicted on him in Vietnam" (which
is a joke)
3) "MTV-style attacks on Obama's virtues"
4) He "thre caution to the wind and with no vetting"
picked Palin
This is a joke. Seriously
\_ Sullivan's a Republican who supported the war at
first and then later concluded that it was a bad
idea; he endorsed Kerry in 2004. McCain's failure to
take a stand against torture is viewed by many sane
people as a political capitulation. Your reading
comprehension is suspect on the third point. Palin
opposed everything that McCain has stood for until
he adopted the part line. What, of any of the things
above, does not point to a lack of integrity? Also,
which of these is crazy? Your disagreement is not a
valid psych diagnosis.
\_ My third point is a direct quote. Sullivan may
have been a conservative at some point, but he's
gone wildly off the rails.
\_ Your "direct quote" leaves out the charge of
slime that relates directly to the charge of
lack of integrity.
\_ This is retarded. Most of his critisisms, aside from the torture
one, are stronger against Obama than McCain.
\_ Huh? Is up down? What the hell are you talking about?
\_ He seems to think Obama also thinks "lipstick on a pig" is
calling Palin a piggy pig.
\_ No, McCain's being silly there, but Obama has also done
similar things. So, it's a wash.
\_ I see a stunning lack of examples.
\_ The "equality" argument is such horeshit. This is like
equating the entirety of the Iraq WMD travesty with
a stupid comment of Michael Moore's.
\_ You're right, Obama hinting that all of his opponents
are racists was much worse. I shouldn't have tried to
equate them.
\_ You're right, Obama's repeated hinting that all of his
opponents are racists was much worse. I shouldn't
have tried to equate them.
\_ Can you give ANY examples? Or are you just making
shit up?
\_ Obama keeps playing the race card, saying his
opponents will say "his name is funny" or "he's
black". The most recent example was in the last
week or so.
\_ So no, you can't.

cave? Have you forgotten how to use google?
Here's an old one. (Easiest to find.)

\_ Fuck you whomever deleted my
response to this.
\_ But of course it is okay that McCain says that
opponents of Palin are sexist.
\_ I guess you've missed out on the rather unsubtly
racist ads McCain is now running.
\_ In the 2000 primary, Bush supporters push-polled
that McCain had a secret black baby out of wed-
lock; these people weren't racists, they were
politically savvy-- and morally bankrupt. For
Obama to say that he expects his opponents to
make fun of his name and try to stir up fear by
reminding people that he's black is not an
accusation of racism; it's pulling a proven
tactic out into the open before it gets used
covertly. Getting back to the original point,
there is no grand total score of Good/Evil for
you to use to "balance" the two candidates on.
Take each case as it comes and evaluate it
given its importance to you. Various Voting
Poll sites have worked this out, and so can you.
\_ I do not understand why McCain is not world's biggest opponent of
torture. |

\_ Wait, so "politico" is a right-wing rag, and tpm is okay?!?
\_ Do you deny the charges? Even the WSJ is noticing how much of a
liar Palin is.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122090791901411709.html
\_ I'm looking into the bridge issue. It's the only one that may
have merit. However, considering how much mud has been thrown,
I'm not going to accept it unless it's rock-solid. Also, the
Alaskan Dems credited her with killing it, though they've
since scrubbed their site of that. Here's the google cache:
http://tinyurl.com/5cqdw9
\_ Once it became obvious that the Bridge was a national
disgrace AND CONGRESS WASN'T WILLING TO FUND THE ENTIRE
THING, Palin killed the project because she didn't want
to spend state money on it, but happilly kept all the
money the federal government had given her already for
the project. Read that WSJ article, I'm pretty sure WSJ
is ideologically pure enough for you.
\_ "However, Gov. Sarah Palin said the $398 million bridge
was $329 million short of full funding, and only $36
million in federal funds were set aside for it. She
said it was clear Congress had little interest in
spending any more money for it and that the state had
higher priorities."
This hardly sounds like "killing it." Also, there is a
charge that although they stopped the project, AK kept
the money.
\- also WSJ:
...today, Sen. McCain again asserted that
Sen. Obama has requested nearly a billion in
earmarks. In fact, the Illinois senator
requested $311 million last year, according
to the Associated Press, and none this
year. In comparison, Gov. Palin has
requested $750 million in her two years as
governor -- which the AP says is the largest
per-capita request in the nation. |

--McCain divorced his first wife, a former swim-wear model, after
she was horribly disfigured in a car accident.
\_ Dude are you serious? URL?
\_ actually this is true. while McCain was in POW camp,
his wife was in a terrible car accident that required
25+ surgeries that left her 4 inches shorter. she didn't
tell him this while he was in POW camp, figuring he was
suffering enough. when he got back to the states,
he divorced her, and soon married the rich Arizona heiress.
\_ Who was young enough to be his daughter.
\_ The Daily Mail is a horrible rag, and yet I think they
managed to capture the outrage pretty accurately on this:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/6gbzhw (Daily Mail)
\_ According to the article, he got back to the US in 1973,
and divorced her in 1980. So it's a pretty big stretch
to say he divorced her because of the accident. -tom
\_ Good point. It's more accurate to say that he was
running around on her, chasing other women, and that
he divorced her to marry a rich and pretty younger
trophy wife.
--McCain called his second wife a cunt.
How dare they take the high road!
\_ The cunt story is dumb. If you've ever been in a relationship
you'll know that there are sometimes ugly fights. The divorce
stuff does, however, say something about McCain.
\_ Frankly, what the guy says in privacy (or at least in hushed
tones) doesn't particularly matter to me. Saying it in public

9/9 I am a democrat but my prediction is Obama will lose. He's a
better speech giver, but what exactly has he done? He can talk
the talk but there's no proof that he has what it takes do to
the job. He had a golden opportunity to pick Hillary as the VP
to form the dream ticket. It would've shown to the outside
world that he will unite force with competitors for the common
good, and he can put aside criticisms in the past. The
combined ticket will also benefit from advice and help from
Bill Clinton, who bought us 8 great years before the current
bush fuckup, and whom I and a lot of people highly respect.
But no, his current pick shows his arrogance (who needs the
Clintons), immaturity (pick a white dude with more experience
but less well known), insecurity (Clintons will have different
view from him so his job will be easier without the Clintons),
and over estimating himself. He is a black person after all.
While I have nothing against black people, wining the election
as a black person will be quite a challenge in itself. He's
not Collin Powell, he's just a young black dude with good
speaking skill at a good opportunity, but has yet to prove
himself. Will there be enough people that trust him?
It was a very smart move for McCain to pick a female VP. You
have a war hero with a woman VP to win those voters that
supports woman in politics. Unfortunately this will be a much
bigger percentage than the die hard Clinton supporters that
will vote for Obama because they've got no choice. Personally
I probably won't even vote. The only way Obama is going to win
is if the country really got sick and tired of the Republican
Party after 8 years and wants something different. If this is
the only thing he's banking on then it's very risky.
Let's just hope that the war trained McCain got more common
senses than Bush does so it won't be that bad if McCain wins.
\_ You know what? You might be right that O could lose. However,
you're still an idiot.
\_ I'm a decline-to-state who voted for Hilary in the primary and
McCain in the 2000 primary. I've always (so far) voted Democrat
in Presidential elections. I am not wild about Obama, but I
don't think he will lose. I think the choice of Biden was a
good one (Biden was my pick for President above Hilary, but
dropped out before I voted). The Clintons are very polarizing,
which is what I told my Democrat friends back when Hilary was
running for the Senate. A lot of people love them, but a lot of
people really hate them. I think their association hurt Al Gore
and Bill didn't do Hilary any favors in this election. Obama was
wise to avoid them. McCain isn't really loved by anyone, even
Republicans, because he is a loose cannon and Palin's strength
is in appealing to voters who weren't going to vote for Obama
anyway. I guess it draws out Republicans who might have stayed
home otherwise if that was an issue. I think a Biden/Obama ticket
makes more sense than an Obama/Biden ticket. My main beef with
Obama is that I still know almost nothing about him or his record.
He's a very charismatic speaker which makes me nervous, because
people like that can be convincing. That *can* be a plus, but I
don't like that attribute when mixed with his status as a relative
unknown. I like leaders with a track record.

that he needs to define himself better if he wants to win.

9/7 I can't stand the smirky tone of Palin's voice. Her mocking of
Obama, especially when her facts are wrong or deliberately disengenous
as they are shoved at her by Republican operatives, pisses me off.
I wasn't going to vote for her anyway, oh well
\_ I hated her too. She has that primly self-righteous tone of
holier-than-thou which I learned to despise from a co-worker
of mine, this sheltered whiny self-centered woman-child who
was pleased to level judgement on everyone else, but who,
when justifiably called flaky for actions she herself
committed, got all pissed off and then went on the attack
instead of admitting that yes, she HAD been a flake, sorry,
she'll try to do better.

9/8 here's a chance for your ranting to be useful to someone:
assume McCain wins the election.
Then what happens in the next 4 years? The economy?
Wars? What?
\_ We invade Iran. US credibility continues to crater. Dollar
weakens further, both in terms of domestic inflation and
relative to other currencies. Dollar-denominated oil prices
skyrocket, driving up prices for everything. McCain's solution
is to drill off-shore and in ANWAR; public pressure forces it
to happen, but it has no effect on the economic situation. -tom
\_ Really, you think we are going to invade IRAN under McCain?
You willing to bet even money on that if he wins? Cause I'm
happy to take the other side of that bet. Also you think the
Dollar is going to behave differently under Obama? Why??
\_ McCain loves American military action, and has already
expressed interest in attacking Iran more than once.
It seems a foolish thing to bet on.
The dollar will tank if we don't improve our fiscal
situation by reducing the military and raising taxes.
McCain will do neither. -tom
\_ I don't know, McCain opposed Bush's tax cuts. I'd say we
have a better shot at fiscal solvency with McCain+Dem
congress than Obama+Dem congress.
\_ But he supports them now.
\_ Anything said during a campaign has zero credebility.
You can only trust what they actually do in office.
\_ While I understand where this sentiment comes
from (cf. "All politicians are liars"), it's a
dangerous basis for making poltical decisions;
since neither candidate _is_ President, we have
little to guide us on what they'll do when
elected apart from what they say they'll do and
past attempts to make good on their promises.
\_ Confrontation with Russia. Probably war with Iran. Economy
continues slow grind into dust as rest of world continues
to lose confidence in our debt-ridden economy. Further isolation
as world public opinion solidifies against us and China
takes our place as a superpower.
\_ War with Iran requiring massive deficit spending which craters
the economy.
\_ Same shit that will happen when Obama is President +/- 10%. When
will you people figure this out? D's control Congress, so whatever
happens is on them, too. Historically things are best when
Congress and President are from different parties, FWIW.
\_ I have a wild irrational completely not supported by hard
facts belief that Obama+Biden has a lower chance of completely
fucking EVERYTHING up than McCain+Palin. It would be difficult
to convince me that is not true. The more I hear Palin on the
radio, the more I want to quit my job, liquidate my assets,
and move to a swing state and apply myself somehow to prevent
the upcoming calamity of McCain+Palin. Have you heard this
woman? |

9/7 Palin agrees to interviews, so long as she is treated with
"respect and deference"
http://preview.tinyurl.com/6lsv92
\_ Because ANY evidence of inconsistency automatically rules
him out as Presidency-worthy, no matter how trivial,
because he's a Democrat. If he were a republican, he
could disappear for an entire war and not be suspected
of any wrongdoing. Or, he could receive family patronage
assuring him of a good military career, and that would
be completely fine, too.

\_ Let me spell it out for you.
U P P I T Y N E G R O. there. happy?
\_ "they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that
they're uppity," Does that even make sense to anyone here? It's
a grammatical mishmash.
\_ "Elitist" is code for "uppity" in this election. This rep
is just letting the veil slip a little. Note that he
repeated "uppity" again when asked to clarify.
\_ So what was it code for in the last election?
\_ Catholic.
\_ That doesn't really answer the question
A) He's a member of an individual?
B) He thinks he's uppity? Does it make sense for someone to
think they are uppity?
Actually, saying elitist means uppity makes even less sense,
then he's part of an uppity class that thinks he's uppity.
\_ Meh, that's just the kind of think the race obsessed say when
they can't find any actual racism.
\_ Meh, that's just the sort of thing white people say when
they don't want to admit their own racism.

9/4 Someone asked yesterday about the Obama/Ayers link. It took me a while
to find a link I was happy with, this one is ok. This guy goes into
excruciating detail about the Annenberg Challenge and CAC over a
number of blog posts. The full Annenberg documents were only recently
released, and this post predates the release. The documents are still
being digested, so this is far from the final word.
Anyway, it is pretty obvious that Obama and Ayers had a close working
relationship for at least 6 years (the real relationship almost
cetainly predates this), in which they funneled millions to Ayers'
causes and students. It's also quite obvious that Obama has been
highly disingenous about this relationship, and many of his statements
about it have been blatant falsehoods. ("Our kids went to school
together", etc)
http://csua.org/u/m9b
\_ Yes, Obama supports terrorism and wants to KILL WHITEY.
\_ It looks like Obama has really been trying to improve the schools,
which is great. I think I am going to give him another $2300.
\_ Might want to look into what he was spending that money on
first. The challenge itself was deemed an utter flop. $100mil
down the hole.
\_ Deemed an utter flop by who? This guy is not a reliable
source.
http://preview.tinyurl.com/554pov
The Annenberg Challange is hardly the radical far-left
proposal this guy makes it out to be.
\_ Sorry, it was a flop _in Chicago_. That is, it had no
effect on student performance in Chicago. Your link is an
overall evaluation, so not really interesting for this
discussion.
Also, it was deemed a flop by the Consortium of Chicago
School Research (CCSR) in 2003.
\_ Yes, that is interesting. I will have to do some more
research. But I think it is amusing that an effort to
try and weaken the hold of the teacher's union is called
a communist tactic by this guy.
\_ I with you agree there. -op
\_ I agree with you there. -op
here are some new numbers (VM Size in MB reported by Task Manager):

6 new tabs.
- Close the 6 tabs above. 35 54
- Open the same 6 news pages 44 71
in 6 new tabs again.
- Close the 6 tags again. 38 53
So, after opening and closing the same tabs a second time, Firefox 3
still uses more memory than Firefox 2. Any idea? Thanks.
\_ The delta between 2 "close the 6 tabs" lines is 3 megs for FF2
and -1 megs for FF3. The general problem with FF2 was it tended
to leak memory over time. For a desktop app, an extra 10 megs
is minimal, but since people like to have long lived browser
sessions, FF2's habit of slowing growing up to 2 gigs of memory
is a real problem.
\_ Dunno, I notice better memory usage with lots of tabs open.
Firefox 2 used to go into the 500 MB range after a while,
Firefox 3 typically doesn't go above 400 MB.
\_ I used to have to restart my browser every day. I don't have to
with FF3.
\_ FF3 does seem more crashy though.
\_ Anyway, you made your point. He has extensive political connections
to an ex-WU guy. A big yawner to me, but perhaps middle America
cares. I kind of doubt it. |

9/3 What's so bad about community organizers? From the speeches
tonight you'd think that was a euphenism for smoking reefer 24/7
\_ Since the GOP has nothing to run on, they're just running a Hate
convention.
\_ Since when has either part had anything to run on? For the
last 6 years the Dems have been running on "Bush sucks" and
and now they're running on a combination of "Bush sucks" and
HOPE! and CHANGE!
\_ Change is all you'll have if you vote for Dems! GH Bush
\_ I don't know about you, but after 8 years of Bush and the GOP,
I'm about ready for HOPE and CHANGE.
\_ There are a whole lot more ways to change something for the
bad than the good. Obama is basically running on Mcain =
Bush! Scary! Which is obvious BS.
\_ I don't think that's BS. McCain will continue the
policies of Bush/Cheney.
\_ In what way are McCain's policies different than Bush's?
\_ Federal stem cell research funding. Being able to
speak coherently.
\_ So how exactly are you worse off?
\_ Like I said, you've got nothing.
\_ Does your life suck and you're blaming it on Bush?
Dem party running against GOP: of course they're going to
claim that this is the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVAR and
that therefore due to ???? they should be elected.
The most significant changes we're talking about is stuff
is almost completely dependent on the legislators in
Congress, and not the president. i.e. the tax plan and
healthcare plan. All the other stuff is just posturing.
Do you think Russia is going to give a shit about having
a guy who wants to talk to them more? Obama's going to
use his magic inspirational charisma to bring about the
Age of Aquarius.
\_ Except Bush (or McCain) would veto the tax and
healthcare changes we need. Not to mention the energy
plan, which is a disaster under the GOP.
\_ Haha, "changes we need". Care to go into specifics
about energy?
\_ That's right, changes we need. The Bush/McCain
economic policies have been a disaster for all
but the very richest:
link:tinyurl.com/69jh74
Go read Obama's policy papers on energy, I don't
have the time or inclination to recap them here.
But they focus on conservation, not lying to the
American people about how much oil we can get
out of ANWR or some BS about "clean" coal.
\_ I don't need those changes. Hence "we" is
laughable. Obama can't shit oil. Conservation
is not a long term plan.
\_ "Conservation is not a long term plan"? What
does that even mean? Conservation is an
choice. The alternative is destruction.
Conservation alone won't save the society,
but without conservation you lose before
you even start. -tom
\_ Whatever... McCain focuses on conservation
too, and Obama's energy plan ALSO talks
about your "clean" coal. You guys are so
stupid and full of shit.
\_ McCain focuses on conservation? Is
that why he's voted against improving
fuel economy and pretty much every
other conservation initiative, pretty
much every time he's been given the
opportunity? -tom
\_ Please stop parroting left wing
blogs. I'm obviously referring to
the published "energy plans". Though
McCain has in fact supported CAFE
increases in certain forms (they
quibble about timescales). But of
course it's easy for Obama to say
he is better because after all he
has no track record to scrutinize.
By the way, stuff like CAFE is BS.
if energy self-sufficiency is a
matter of national security and
protection from foreign volatility
(and it is), then we should have a
fairly high tariff on all imported
energy (e.g. oil). We should always
have had this, and we should have
kept pushing nuclear.
\_ So you're saying that you put more
faith in a campaign promise than
you do in someone's actual
voting record? Interesting. -tom
\_ Obama voted for the '05 energy
bill. He voted for more ethanol
boondoggle, clean coal, oil and
gas subsidies. Obama voted for
the porky farm bill. That's not
a voting record I'm happy with.
\_ "We" means America here, obviously. Not what
some selfish prick in the top 1% of income
needs. We are all going into the tank if we
don't control our energy usage and our health
care expenses. Even you, I bet.
\_ I think the OP understands that GOP is bashing Obama by labeling him
as community organizer. But the questions is why community
organizer specifically. What's bad about being a community
organizer? (I wonder about the same questions.)
\_ Community and Communist differ by one letter, 'nuff said.
\_ 2 letters, actually. Go beah!
\_ That's just tit-for-tat. The Obama campaign keeps refering to
Palin as the mayor of Wasilla, so McCain calls him a community
organizer.
\_ You have your tats and your tits backwards. McCain has been
calling him that long before Palin entered the scene.
\_ Link? I hadn't noticed anyway.
