Let's see whether John McCain will 'renounce' this one when it breaks, courtesy from yet another national-socialist multi-billionaire:http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/17/who-wants-to-be-the-next-millionaire/...more »

Grapevine: Kal Rove wants to lead GOP's 527 effort during GE
From the grapevine: "(Karl) Rove wants to lead the GOP's 527 effort... There are going to be strategy meetings, people who are not yet associated with 527s but who will later on associate themselves and spread the strategy..."Strategy? So what's...more »

Obama's and Hillary's foreign policy amateurism

Stupid American Voter
For all the criticism levelled at Team Clinton for her so-called harsh treatment of Team Obama, the latter should be happy and thankful for it.Why? Because Team Obama can learn a thing or two from the attacks, knowledge it will...more »

In 2002, 85% of the US population according to polls believed that Saddam Hussein was directly connected to the 9/11 attacks.
People believed it because some elected politician said it on TV. So then it must be correct, right?
Pretty soon, a majority of people is going to believe that China is going to drill for oil off Cuba's coast - because nice people in suits said so on TV.

Obama has started shifting on issues. Drilling for oil sounds like McCain wants return to the days of cheap gasoline. "YAY!", go all the blue collars.\
Make no mistake. This election is Obama's to lose. And I am convinced that it is going to be a re-run of 2004 all over again, with 150.000 voters deciding who gets the White House.
Obama had better not f*ck up like he's doing now (FISA, overturned D.C. gun law)

Errrr....
I think the REAL hot topic here should be the fact that McCain beats both Obama and Clinton among working class whites.
It only adds credence to my fear that McCain will win the White House this fall.

@Dorn76:
In '04, people said exactly the same about Kerry. How he would attract independents, how voters would "see through" the lies.

@khodges:
Mex Cleland was a Vietnam veteran. Lost two legs and an arm fighting for his country, but wore his past with pride.
The level of patriotism could not be any more visible.
Yet the GOP and its 527s managed to convince voters in Georgia that he was "unpatriotic", that he was somehow in league with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
With three limbs lost and in a wheelchair, Cleland lost because the 527s were able to distort Cleland's public image.
What the Swift Boaters did to Kerry was nothing compared to what the GOP did to Cleland.
Always keep Cleland's example in mind when assessing Nazis like the Swift Boaters.
Never, ever underestimate or look down on what the GOP and its cronies are contemplating.

Think of any - any - foul thought you can think of when imagining a black person.
Try to link any ‘bad’ incident involving a black person in recent history to Obama.
Do that, and you will have an inkling of what’s on the 527 drawing boards.
Obama the hustler, Obama the drugsdealer, Obama the thug, Obama the teenage momma maker, Obama X, Obama Rodney King, Obama Louis Farrakhan. Etcetera, etcetera.
You think Clinton was being bad for coming after Obama with her kitchen sink?
Never mind her. What the GOP has in store for Obama is nothing compared to what the 527s will ‘independently’ throw at Obama.
And Rove will be connected. Rove, the man who wanted to become campaign leader for a GOP congressman. Rove got the position by spreading the rumor that his competitor for the position banged little boys.
Rove got the position.
Nothing will be spared, no stone left unturned, no pile of bile left untouched.

@KenM1:
"Really nothing seems to stick long term against Obama and only drives up your side's negatives. It is a waste of resources, but they are allowed to try."
Oh really?
ABC News reported nuggets from an exit poll in W.Va, which showed that approximately half of the voters in that primary had Rev. Wright on their mind.
It will stick.
This kind of stuff sticks. Lies, vicious lies and damned lies they may be but BOY, how they sell newspapers...!

@drg42:
Sure, go ahead, blame the media...
The truth is that the REAL game is to get the media to play and replay *your* side of the story, not the other guy's.
And the *TRUTH* is that Kerry's campaign lost that fight in '04.
My fear is that Obama will lose that fight now, in '08...
