Hardball interview:

http://www.dailykos.com/

It's kinda comic:

"Obama, Biden, and their liberal allies"

How many times did that phrase get used? Almost as a single word?

Who are these "liberal allies"? The Swedes perhaps?

How many West Virginians are going to be upset with more Swedes around?

"liberal allies" doesn't exactly sting like it used to. Kind of like yelling "socialist." McCain's running the classic Republican campaign and is getting no response.

I have to say that Chris and Chuck rocked today....

I am sure the repubs must be really pissed of at MSNBC...

Maybe McWar will cancel his visit to Meet the Press on Sunday.

That is also an outright LIE. Obama and Biden don't oppose clean coal whatsoever.

Not any of McCain's WEAK campaign and personal attacks of lies, hatred, fear, racism, and division WILL NEVER PREVAIL against Sen. Obama - this nation's next Commander-in-Chief !!!

You [ Barack Obama], are from God and have overcome them [the enemy's attacks, schemes, and plots ] , because the one [God] who is in you [ Barack Obama] is greater than the one [the enemy ] who is in the world. - 1 John 4:4

No weapon forged against you [ Barack Obama] will prevail, and you [ Barack Obama] will refute every tongue that accuses you [ Barack Obama] . This is the heritage of the servants [ Barack Obama] of the LORD, and this is their [ Barack Obama] vindication from me," declares the LORD. - Isaiah 54:17

" I [ God ] will send my terror ahead of you [ Barack Obama] and throw into confusion every nation you [ Barack Obama] encounter. I [ God ] will make all your [ Barack Obama] enemies turn their backs and run." - Exodus 23:27

The Lord will rescue me [ Barack Obama] from every evil attack and will bring me [ Barack Obama] safely to his heavenly kingdom. - 2 Timothy 4:18

11 For he will command his angels concerning you [ Barack Obama] to guard you [ Barack Obama ] in all your ways; 12 they will lift you [ Barack Obama ] up in their hands, so that you [ Barack Obama ] will not strike your [his] foot against a stone. 13 You [ Barack Obama ] will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you [ Barack Obama ] will trample the great lion and the serpent. - Psalm 91:11-13

I have given you [ Barack Obama ] authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you [ Barack Obama ]. - Luke 10:19

It's time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It's time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

Amen.

At some point these t.v, and radio, stations are going to say to McCain sorry no credit only money orders...

Larry David is describing exactly what I feel, pretty funny stuff, especially about the debates.

I just don't understand why anybody would vote for McCain. Watching the interview, all I saw was an angry, desperate old man who doesn't have a clue that his divisive campaign is setting our country back 40 years.

The AP poll made me want to throw up. Are we winning this thing?

Look! The emperor(ess) has no clothes...I mean new clothes.

(apologies to H.C. Andersen).

The Failins People Magazine Interview

* SP = Caribou Barbie * TP = Barbie's dude

Do you think you're intellectual?
SP: Yessss. And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on as a governor. I had to do the same thing as a mayor. So it is not just current events but it's much more in-depth than that to understand how, in the case of me being governor, how did our state get to the position that we are in order for a decision to have to be made. You can't just go on what is presented you. You have to know the background, you have to know the players involved before you make a policy call. So, um, it's uh, it's a good job, it's a tough job and it's a very, very serious job. And no. You don't get to be a governor by being –
TP: – going with the wind.
SP: Yeah definitely. You don't just go with the flow and take a political pulse on policy. You have to go with what the foundational knowledge is that you have on issues in front of you and you have to put the people you are serving, put them first. You put them before partisanship you put them before special interests. That's how you make decisions as governor.

{...}

How do you get that knowledge?
SP: I'm a voracious reader, always have been. I appreciate a lot of information. I think that comes from growing up in a family of schoolteachers also where reading and seizing educational opportunities was top on my parents' agenda. That was instilled in me.

Keating May Rear its Head in the Final Week:

"Campaign finance records have revealed that the law firm founded by Charles Keating - before he went to jail for fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy for his activities as chairman of Lincoln Savings and Loans - has made donations totalling over $50,000 to McCain's [2008] campaign.

"The Center for Responsive Politics has done the maths, and says: "In amounts ranging from $200 to $2,300, about 30 partners and employees of the legal firm Keating, Muething and Klekamp, as well as their family members, have contributed $50,200 to McCain's 2008 campaign. All but two of the contributions came in July, and all but three of those July donations were logged on July 31, suggesting they were delivered at the same time. As with any bundle of campaign contributions, it's difficult to determine which donor was the "bundler," the person who solicited the contributions on the campaign's behalf. McCain's online roster of bundlers, which purports to name any individual bundling $50,000 or more for the campaign, does not associate any of McCain's major fundraisers with the Keating firm.
"...the only Keating included [mentioned] in the bundle is William J. Keating, Jr., Charles Keating's nephew, who is listed as a partner in the firm and contributed $1,000.
"But it reminds us of McCain's role in 'The Keating Five,' a group of senators who received a total of $1.4 million in campaign contributions connected to Keating and personally intervened with government regulators to allow Lincoln Savings and Loans to make highly risky investments that defrauded thousands of investors and cost taxpayers $3.4 billion."

Like someone pointed out, this attack is a blatant lie. In that clip of Biden, he clearly misspoke and then went on to explain why he's for it. He talked about China and other countries developing coal plants regardless of whether clean cola technology develops, so we might as well develop it and sell it to them. A side note, someone called that position unfortunate, but we have to try and see if it can work. Coal will be burned with or without it.

So with nothing else working, McCain should try calling Obama a secret Jew. I heard it worked in a campaign in Poland. They can dig up a photo of him in a yarmulke and point out how similar "Barack" is to "Ehud Barak".

Good morning!
