The constant media attempts to attack John McCain are pretty ridiculous, particularly when you consider how slowly they are realizing that Obama is a stuffed shirt. Obama has zero policy for anything - his mantra of 'change' and a good stage presence seem to be his only assets.

So far in the past week I've seen easily twenty attempts by various papers (including that rag Newsweek) to snipe at McCain. Yet I've only seen one article pointing out that, hey, that Obama guy doesn't really have much of a plan, and even in this article the guy spends more time calling Obama a 'genius' than criticizing him:

Please note: my intent was to inspire and share a laugh. If anything here offends you, I'm probably being misunderstood.

Someone said there is some sniping of McCain in the media. Is that true? That's fantastic - can't be enough when you have a candidate h@llbent on continuing to destroy the American way of life and drive us further down their path to a plutocracy.

And I love to hear how the Republican talking points are being rolled out. Especially the one about Obama not having a plan (didn't they use that one on Kerry? I know they used the elitist before - that apparently really rings a bell with their un-moneyed base --- meanwhile, they are voting into office the "down home" George Bush -- how dumb is that?)

It looks like Howard Fineman is being quoted above (he's from "that rag Newsweek"--- no less :). Wasn't he a big fan of Fred Thompson's...and I think he was one of those that just liked the way the Republican male candidates looked. Obviously Fineman is a man who really knows how to pick those with a plan....ha!!!!! He also wrote the most backhanded "advice" to Obama - couldn't more obviously be a Republican stooge.

This election is really going to see how gullible the American public is......

That's fantastic - can't be enough when you have a candidate h@llbent on continuing to destroy the American way of life and drive us further down their path to a plutocracy.

What color is the sky in ...

Oh, never mind. I know. It's rainbow.

Zaphod, it was cute..... now i watched your other videos as well.. hmmn..... is there really a Ron paul march in Washington?

Now calligraph, Obama has policies, read the websites. if you compare websites, McCain's says very little on policy. I suspect you do not like Obama's policies,fair enough, but to say he has not stated policies compared to McCain seems disingenuous.

One thing McCain seems to believe is that the president should be a christian, I guess he cannot have Liberman on his ticket then. Does anyone know how old that McCain video is? Where it is from?

This sniping about John McCain - it's so unfair. He's a REPUBLICAN after all - what's not to love?

Not long ago John McCain openly admitted he doesn't know much about economics:

"I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." OK, so who does he turn to for advice? His answer is reassuring. His foremost economic guru is former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm (who would almost certainly be Treasury secretary in a McCain administration). He's also friendly with the godfather of supply-side economics, Arthur Laffer.

Now, you see, Stephen Moore at the Wall Street Journal has assured all of us that in a McCain administration, we'd all be in good hands. I mean, McCain is a good buddy with Arthur Laffer - the man who inspired one of the great run-ups in public debt in American history. You can all rejoice that the slice of your taxes dedicated to paying interest on the national debt has more than doubled as a result of Mr. Laffer's supply-side economics (aka, voodoo economics).

But best of all, our interests would all be well served by that paragon of virtue and economic theory, Phil Gramm. Yes, indeed, the very same Phil Gramm with the foresight to have exclaimed,

I want to predict here tonight, that if we adopt this bill the American economy is going to get weaker and not stronger, the deficit four years from today will be higher than it is today and not lower ... When all is said and done, people will pay more taxes, the economy will create fewer jobs, the government will spend more money, and the American people will be worse off.

This brilliant prognostication was offered on the evening that Clinton's budget passed in the spring of 1993 - after which the United States was launched into the longest economic expansion since WW II - an expansion in which the annual real growth rate was 3.7% - easily exceeding the preceding the previous 12 Reagan-Bush years and following the 7.5 Bush years. At the end of those terrible Clinton years, the US budget was in surplus and employment was burgeoning.

Consider some more of the accomplishments of Phil Gramm, the man who is teaching John McCain about economics:

• Gramm used his political clout to protect the Texas operators whose crooked machinations eventually helped to bankrupt the S&L industry. In fact, the S&L debacle cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. (From: http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason/2008/05/30/mccain_gramm/)

• Phil Gramm pushed through key legislation that helped Enron trade energy and to abandon all semblance of ethical business and accounting standards:

Enron had done its homework in Washington. Help came largely from the husband-and-wife team of economists Senator Phil Gramm and his wife, Wendy. Before joining the Enron board, Wendy Gramm had exempted energy futures contracts from government oversight in 1992; her husband now pushed for the Commodity Futures Modernization Act in December 2000, which would deregulate energy trading. There was strong opposition to Phil Gramm's bill in the House, mainly from the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, who included Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Summers; Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve; and Arthur Levitt, chairman of the SEC. But Enron spent close to $2 million lobbying to combat that opposition, while Gramm kept the bill from floor debate in the waning days of the Clinton administration. He reintroduced it under a new name immediately after Bush assumed office and got his bill passed. Enron, in turn, got the opportunity to trade with abandon. No one needed to know--or could find out--how much power Enron owned and how or why the company moved it from place to place. Source: Power Failure: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Enron, by Mimi Swartz, Sherron Watkins, Page 227.

• Phil Gramm cooked up a new twist on the old "dead peasant" scheme in a (thankfully failed) attempt to bilk Texas taxpayers out of millions for his employers at UBS.

So you see, John McCain is learning about economics and screwing the taxpayers from one of the best, Phil Gramm. Now quit sniping at the guy!

Ruh-roh. Score one for the redheaded queen of woo...

I'm sorry to add to the constant media attacks on John McCain, but a man who wants to stay in Iraq for a 100 years, and calls his wife a trollop and a cunt, that's just not a man I'd like to have lead this nation...

I mean cunt is one thing, but trollop? Who was the last person to use that word, Charles Dickens?

They oughta give the old geezer a threatening-looking walking stick and send him home where he can protect his lawn from dang kids, hippies, commies and libruls.

K:

Yes, there is a protest march scheduled for July. You can learn more at revolutionmarch.com

We welcome with open arms all those of you who are fed up, and ready to make your voices heard.

Where is JoAnn? They didn't pull her off to Gitmo did they?
