Just like an unpopular, unnecessary war,
a cratering economy,
the gradual revocation of our Constitutional rights,
the constant lying, the disgusting corruption in office,
the jaw-dropping hypocrisy,
the constant attacking and simultaneous whining,
the blatant catering to the wealthy, the incomprehensible national debt,
and the constant insults to our intelligence may contribute to their downfall as well.
that article is crap. not that i disagree re: people are putting the hate on when it comes to republicans. but people weren't overwhelmingly in support of any version of the giveaway/bailout because they wanted banks to get a lot of money in exchange for nothing. as usual, the wapo has absolutely no clue about what people outside the village are actually thinking. and what propaganda! no emphasis that the dems passed a bill in some ways worse than the one that the bushies initially proposed. people understand that too, as well as the fact that opening up the treasury to the rich and forming a perpetual hand-out machine isn't going to "make things better." krist i hate these people.

Even if it did, I'm sure it's like a Cylon and would just be resurrected to return to torment us in the next reel.
The risk is not for those that voted against the bailout. The risk is for any member of Congress that voted "yes". The market will crash before the election on Congress will be left holding themselves.
The public did not want the bailout. They will oice their distaste for those supporting the failure of a bailout at the polls and this bodes poorly for "yes" voting incumbent repubs and dems.
Where will they live?

Hmmmm...note the word choice...
"Republican strategists fear that an outpouring of public anger generated by Congress's struggle to pass a rescue package..."
The selling is ongoing. Everyone I talk to at work still uses the term "bail-out."
It's too late to change that game, just as with Social Security, when they tried to re-purpose "private accounts" as "personal accounts."
It's not just Republicans, though, judging from the folks I talked to, but anyone who voted for the bail-out.

Any congressional stinking beast that voted for the bailout should be very afraid.
The same goes for the those who voted for the FISA act, or the two patriot acts.

Hmmm. There might not be an aisle for John McCain to reach across.
Y'know...actually...
I think the real reason people are mad at Republicans, would be the events themselves, which actually brought us to the bailout, rescue...investment bank subsidies...whatever you want to call this.
I mean...
The vote itself was largely opposed by more Republicans than Democrats.
My guess is the Democrats followed Barack Obama's support, which in large part would mean the same crowd advising him is the same crowd Paulson/Bernanke work with.
But the larger picture at hand, is simply the fact Democrats will clean-up in November.
That's a positive thought to greet your Saturday morning with.
good morning to you too, ms. f.
i'm "spitting angry" this morning. it's been a while; i've worked hard to contain unhealthy emotion and meditate when i feel it coming on, normally. but i decided to just ride this one out, feel it fully. i'll keep it to myself, however, you all should have a nice morning and focus on the good things in life. baseball, for example.
Absolute bestest part of the story:
GOP operatives said the party's declining fortunes are rooted in a series of events over the past two weeks, including McCain's decision to suspend his campaign in order to help broker a deal on the rescue plan and Republican opposition that doomed the bill in a House vote on Monday. Those incidents helped reinforce voter impressions that Washington is broken and that Republicans bear the brunt of the blame, the party insiders said.

"Primarily this is because rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. True they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence....The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.

i'm not worried for obama at all, indeed, he may even have coattails, which is interesting and unexpected. but they'll save the best stuff for after he's taken office. "inflation fighting" will be the media's favorite topic. but mccain has given up, or as good as that, in practical terms. i'm with the "he's sick" camp; there's something so essentially wrong with the notion of suspending the campaign this close to the date. it's not logical. anyway, scara h is a bust and mccain is weak and old, and people are directed for "change." the dems already bought that for us this week, just not the kind a lot of people think they're going to get.

He sound be sending his videotape endorsement of John McCain, Sarah Palin, and the entire Republican downticket soon.
Why is that important?
When the heliosphere shrinks because the sun enters a rare sunspot cycle, cosmic radiation entering our atmosphere from distant supernovas increases and therefore interacts with low-level clouds, thereby increasing their reflectivity.
It's a lot like the high level clouds which have been known to reflect sunlight because of pollution from jet engine exhaust.
Well, cosmic radiation interacts with beryllium. That isotope can be measured with ice core samples. Scientists therefore can measure backs hundreds and hundreds of years to determine periods of extreme cold that correlate with written records in Europe.
For years, scientists have expressed worry at a cycle which seems to suggest either this 11 year sunspot cycle...or the next one...will possibly be one of those very, very rare periods of calm on the sun.
This will result in massive crop failures in the next 50 years.
It has nothing to do with pollution, which I have no idea will either contribute to the sunlight reflection, or help us with this environmental catastrophe.
That's the bad news. The good news is...Barack Obama will do what he says he's going to do...because he's honest.
IT HAS BEGUN...just in the past hour on WJ (c-span) the nutjob callers are out and passing on the REPUG nastiness about Obama...with Hannity putting on a BIG SHOW tomorrow night to rev up the braindead who will then actually be the folks that get out and MARCH against a "terrorist" running for president...whose wife was "born in Iran" (yeah, you want to laugh but OH, THE STUPID)...these repugnant dishonorable media creeps have absolutely perfected how to rile up their sheeple and get them to pass on information that may contain a kernel of truth wrapped in horse excrement...they will use the flag, God, guns, hatred for homosexuals, and whatever else they can come up with...so the question is WHAT TO DO...if the paid for media doesn't STAND UP and begin to speak the TRUTH then I'm saying we take names and (although it's creepily like what McShame says)...let the WORLD remember their names!!!!

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of assholes.
I think Obama should counter the McCain campaign with some really optimistic stuff that seeks to lead the country forward while making it seem like McCain is attacking everyone.
Something like...
"John McCain wants to attack us, he wants to turn you against the hope of a better future, he wants to turn you against the change needed to rescue America from the Bush years he championed. But it's not going to work. We are going to win this election and move this country forward at home and abroad...."
Obama's ground game is vastly more pervasive than Kerry's was.
Plus, Obama raised a crapload of dough to be able to do that.
Hi, Doug! Still 70 in the Valley, but predicting down to 65 in the morning.

I think he has been bowling in the WH basement all along.
Osama bin Laden is about the only October Surprise they may have left. I have a feeling that's why we've been hearing so much about border clashes in Pakistan lately.
Absent his capture, I'm thinking we might get a videotape with an "official Pentagon translation" of OBL saying "yes we can" or something, allowing the Repukes to claim he's endorsing Obama.
IT HAS BEGUN...just in the past hour on WJ (c-span) the nutjob callers are out and passing on the REPUG nastiness about Obama
I don't think McCain has the money to attack effectively. I haven't seen many of his ads lately in Florida. Obama is running at least 2-1.
WHY NOT?

Because McCain has nothing to offer this country, the full brunt of the ugly, negative attacks are on the way
Thursday, we posted this warning from Markos:
The GOP is desperate. Expect the worst of the worst to start hitting here soon. Jeremiah Wright is overdue for his second act, as well as Ayers, the Muslim crap, and anything else desperate Republicans can fabricate. At this point, they literally have nothing to lose.
As expected, the negative onslaught is on its way. This is round two for the McCain and his campaign. They spent July, August and early September in attack mode -- aided and abetted by smarmy tactics from State Republican parties and a slew of outside groups. But, from here on out, it's going to be nothing but negative, That is already true of McCain t.v. ads, which TPM Election Central reported are "Nearly 100 Percent Devoted To Attack Ads."
Today's Washington Post reports:
Sen. John McCain and his Republican allies are readying a newly aggressive assault on Sen. Barack Obama's character, believing that to win in November they must shift the conversation back to questions about the Democrat's judgment, honesty and personal associations, several top Republicans said...."

Time and time again, these right-wing extremist reactionaries have sought to make change their top priority through whatever means was at their disposal, but in historical perspective...
...there have been times when if somebody had decided to "let sleeping dog lie"...we would have been far better off in the long run.

Are we not looking at how much influence Iran already has in Iraq, through our own mistakes from the very beginning?
20,000 Army troops are due to rotate out of Iraq for General Austin by the summer of 2009, so...it's going to be different after January with Barack.
Policy is going to be a lot different. Why all this rush to change our commanders with our Air Force nuclear arsenal before old party Democrats regain control of the Exective power?

I hope that wink wasn't a lurid signal that Palin plans to bestow lipstick favors on her running mate to get him to change his mind about ANWR, breathily promising him that she'll show him the true meaning of drilling in Alaska if only he'll say yes. That would be so wrong on so many levels.
No, Really!

Have Obama standing alone at the top of a hill. As he speaks Americans from all works of life step up to join him until a large crowd forms, some with flags, most with arms folded, all with somewhat angry fixed expressions...
John McCain wants to attack us, he wants to turn you against the hope of a better future, he wants to turn you against the change needed to rescue America from the Bush years he championed. Make no mistake: this is an attack on America's future. But it's not going to work. We are going to win this election and move this country forward at home and abroad..(some specifics).."
An American Carol is poised to destroy what remains of the careers of Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, James Woods and Dennis Hopper:
In the version of the film screened for this story, Gary Coleman camoed in said scene as a car-washing plantation slave who calls out to an off-camera colleague named Barack. When asked about the reference, Zucker, who co-wrote the film with Myrna Sokoloff and Lewis Friedman, revealed it will be left on the cutting room floor.
"It was the one thing I didn't think I could defend," said Zucker. "It's because of certain things that I know about Barack Obama. I would have left it in if he had really believed war was not the answer, but I've read that he said he was only against the Iraq war and he supports the Afghanistan war, unlike Michael Moore, who says he's against all wars."
Maybe his next flick can mock Jesus as an insufficiently patriotic peacenik.

I really don't know if attach ads are going to work like they did in 2000 and 2004. The Repubs have been put in such a defensive position that attacking will look like desperation. The least they have to do is come up with new material - Ayers and Wright have been picked clean.

I'm not sure that the Palin pick has been a net gain for McCain, on balance.
It might have solidified the base, but it also spooked the shit out of independent voters.
He's run the wackiest Presidential campaign I think I've ever seen.

HTML Mencken sticks it to Starbursts Lowry.
From the NYPost article linked by Mencken:
"She talked about regular middle-class people with the credibility of having lived that life every day, even for a time lacking health insurance. Or, as she put it at the end, she and John McCain will 'fight for the middle-class, average family - like mine.'"
From the AP:
"Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska and her husband, Todd, have assets of more than $1 million, consisting largely of an ample retirement portfolio and real estate."
Yeah, I know her taxable income was in the high 100s, ('course, she neglected to pay tax on her per diems; that there, my friends, would suggest tax fraud) but what I'd give for 1/10 of their assets right now...
I shouldn't be the one to bring this up but I think someone shot Sarah in the eye.
She was openly flirtatious with America and dour conservatives are licking it up. It's a topsy turvy world.
I would have thought that just being a politician for ten years, Gov. Palin would know more about politics.
She's a dolt. Just like Chimpy.
The Republicans love to try to impute intellectual gravitas where it really doesn't exist.
Thank you, madam, for proving the degenerate filth in Big Media wrong.

see, conservatives actually don't have a problem with sex per se; they see it as the point of marriage. the flirty behavior they deride is that of the self-actualized woman who demands respect. In Palin, they see a woman who will gladly get on her knees and praise jesus that she gets to be fucked by her man.

Skyrockets in flight.
Sarah Palin is a delight.
Is McBush simultaneously running to keep his AZ senate seat? If not, when is his term up?
Never liked Republicans.
I don't think McCain has the money to attack effectively. I haven't seen many of his ads lately in Florida. Obama is running at least 2-1.
In the statistics reported on DailyKos, Obama spent $3.1M on TV in Florida during the week ending September 30. McCain spent only $0.44M. By contrast, McCain spent $0.46M in CO, $0.49M in OH, and $0.94M in PA. McCain will have no choice but to triple or more his spending in FL, since that is the one state that he must have to win the election.
No Palin bounce at all in the Assmunchen daily tracker. 70 million people watched her this time, and she made no difference whatsoever. Merkins sure start off pretty stupid, but sometimes they do wise up.
Here's the NYT's "Republicans in deep shit" article of the day.
PoppieProng
You should warn me before you make a statement like you did above. It isn't even lunch time, fer Gawd's sake.
I prefer "Skyrockets" Lowry.
The sick little bastard. He should take a cold shower and shove an ice cube up his ass before he goes to bed.
Never mind, McBush won re-election in 2004. So he has another two years.
So he'll be chucked in 2010, I suppose.
So am I the only one who thought of Jessica Walter on "Arrested Development" when Little Miss Wingnut gave her wink?
"Don't EVER do that again!"
I think that the next debate will be the last opportunity for Obama to dress down the McCain campaign for its despicable charges ('white flag of surrender', 'personal ambition over country', etc.) against the Dem nominee. 'Senator, have you no honor?' or something more forceful would be most appropriate.
I am tired of listening to such scurrilous charges from McCain and Palin.
Favorite part of the NY "Republicans in Deep Shit" article:
For Mr. Piccillo, 34, skepticism arrived with the Republican convention. After voting twice for George W. Bush, he said he was especially turned off when Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York mayor, mocked Mr. Obama’s early work as a community organizer.
“Those are the people I’m looking to for help,” said Mr. Piccillo, a former mortgage banker who said he had sent out 1,500 résumés without finding a job.
I agree. I think McCain is out of money. The question now is how many ass-licking fucking nutjobs republican congress critters can be tossed out of office.
I lost some respect for Christianne Amanpour. On Maher's show she said it was a good thing for women that Sarah Palin was on the ticket.
Sort of like it's a good thing for blacks that Clarence Thomas is on the supreme court?
Senator, have you no honor?
If Obama went there during the debate, McCain's head would explode.
It's the soccer stadium (home of LA Galaxy and Chivas USA)

My guess is that McCain is pretty sick. If he kicks the bucket, they will have his casket in the capitol rotunda and have either Cindy or Nancy humping it. Then the RNC will find some slug like Mittens or Newt to fill out the ticket.

What do you think of this quote from Ambinder?
Regardless of who wins the election, the collapse, reconstitution and rebirth of the Republican Party will be one of the top political stories for several years to come, and this column, presupposing that it exists, will cover it closely. As a pre-requisite, perhaps one needs to make the argument that such a crisis exists. One Republican strategist thinks the question smacks of the Democratic Party's circular firing squad circa 2002 - that is, four years later, the party was back in power and six years later, it has the chance to remake the electoral map for years to come.
Emphasis added.

But those ties have been researched, and there's nothing substantial there.
It's just so blatantly talking point driven.
I don't think going even more megative is going to help the McShame campaign. Looking at the article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune that was linked above, part of the reason suspected for Franken's increased poll numbers is the overwhelmingly bad reaction to negative advertising. This matches what I heard from Repig friends of mine earlier in the week.
Bottom line is "they got nothing," and I think most voters can see that.

Gomez, Did you see this from the Huffington Post?
Many speculated that McCain would now turn his focus to Pennsylvania. But United Steelworkers International president Leo Gerard tells the Huffington Post that the state could soon go the way of Michigan.
"We're seeing -- from the several hundred of our people working every day, hand-billing at the plants -- the last two weeks have really been breaking Senator Obama's way," Gerard said over the phone from his office in Pittsburgh. "In particular, I think folks are sort of not taking John McCain as serious as they were, when they see his vacillation last week. 'I'm not going to debate. I'm going to whip House Republicans into shape. Not."
cog-neet-o = cog-neet-o
Character is a legitimate issue. Obama hasn't shown much in the way of leadership or political courage, and he's associated with scum like Rezko, Wright and Ayers. We will hammer him daily for the next month about these associations. It's fair to ask whether Barack Obama is personally trustworthy enough to be president, and the McCain campaign shouldn't be intimidated from going there.And they won't be
Obama and Biden are radical liberals. They're for raising taxes, federally funding abortions, naming activist judges, and losing wars.

you know, i'm normally inclined to leave the family out of it, but this makes me wonder. i just got done caring for a 9mo old, and they are fussy when it comes to sleep and other stuff. how old is this infant? it's really not a good idea to be hauling all over hither and yon, and subjecting it to large crowds and loud planes and sirens and whatnot. i also wonder if they've drugged it; no infant would remain bubbly and happy on such a schedule.
Wow. They gave me at least one steak & egg burrito. Dunno about the other one, 'cause I refrigerated it for later eatage.
Two big, eggy burritos and taters for $2. Del's Deal!

jack weighs in with completely delusional bullshit.
As usual.
McCain is raising taxes on everyone with health insurance, levying income taxes on BENEFITS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. Try talking your way out of that.
how old is this infant?
About 6 months.
WaPo agrees McCain is going to try to drop the economy and "attack Obama's character." Brilliant, revisit what didn't work before.
McCain has no other options.
He can't talk about his own policies; people don't like them. He can't talk about Sarah Palin's positions; they're either extreme, or she can't seem to decide what they are. He can't sing songs about bombing Iran, and he can't convince people that the SUUUUUURRRRRRGE! was really that much of a success.
There's nothing left for the McCain campaign but to throw shit. They've already been pretty slimy, but the next few weeks will set new, deplorable standards for election-year filth.
I had a dream where hussein osama was leading the black panthers when he was still in short pants. this is a valid line of attack, because, frankly, we've got NOTHING else to run on.
CD = owner of new owls.
Obama and Biden are radical liberals. They're for raising taxes, federally funding abortions, naming activist judges, and losing wars.

1. Obama will raise taxes on people with an income over $250K. McCain wants to tax health insurance premiums.
2. Federally funing abortions. No. That's a lie.
3. Activist judges? A recent study show that conservative judges are more activist in that they struck down more laws than did liberal judges.
4. Republicans lost the Vietnam War drew the Korean War and mismanaged the Iraq war. Democrats won WW1 and WW2.
owls!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's almost startling how eager the Palins are to use that infant child as a prop
That kid needs a guardian ad litem.
Oh, are we attacking each other? What fun!
Vicki! You're too beautiful!
Plantsman! I've had enough of your informed posts!
Res Ipsa Loquitur! Is wonderful not enough, that you're also nice?!
Okay...maybe I'm not very good at this....
i also wonder if they've drugged it; no infant would remain bubbly and happy on such a schedule.

Down babies are much more complacent/out of it than you'd expect from babies who are not intellectually and physically challenged.
When I was married, my b-i-l and his wife had a baby with Down Syndrome. Geno never cried. His case is more severe than most; he's autistic and will never be able to function on his own. Regardless, that is typical of Down babies.
I mentioned last night that my ex-husband's wife jumped down his sister in law's throat for not voting for Palin because they both have Down Syndrome kids. The noive!
She said Van Palin was carrying the baby like a sack of potatoes
I saw that -- she was bouncing down the steps off the plane with her arm under the kid's shoulder, and his legs and torso were flopping away. It was scary to watch.

Plantsman, so you are telling us who I am, but what do you say? It was trademark dave that was the 99.9% guy and Chairman mo don't you think?
You are wrong about the Buttle by the way.
I am with Vicki on this one. If you have something strong to say and say it under a different nym you aren't that strong, are you? Yea, that person is a coward.

I find it pretty weird that she likes to have her knocked-up teen daughter standing on display behind her while she's stumping. I mean, what the fuck is that?
With the emergence of Sarah Palin, the "culture war" goobs have decided that teen pregnancy is just peachy, and Sarah Palin is a great mother for preventing her children from participating in a comprehensive sex-education program.
These people are mentally diseased. They won't help themselves. We can do nothing but defeat them in elections.
Why is O.J. always getting framed for everything that goes wrong?
Chris Cillizza co-wrote that article and wrote this too.
Chris sez this about Palin: "...endeared her to not only conservative opinion makers but the rank and file GOPers who will play an outsized role in picking the next nominee of the party in 2012 if McCain comes up short in 32 days time."
McCain just isn't sexy enough for his party, I guess.
So Chris wants to run that dixie-doodle drumstick dimwit, Palin for Preznut in 2012!! Palin's entire campaign can be summed up with "howdy boys"! Why not just run Ann Coulter and get it over with. Chris's GOPer come-back appears utterly to be done thinking entirely with his lower extremities, him and that big dumb ox, Pat Buchanan and ole baldy Brooks of the NYT. They run her for Preznut in 2012, the GOP will officialy be the minority Party of drooling morons and THEN, they really will be bleeding voters out the wazoo. Just when you think the Repugs can't get any worse.
oops bad link, here
The rich feeding on the poor. Most of the approaches proposed/adopted are wrong, and average Joe received the stick on the way up, on the way down, and now at the bottom.
For instance, there is something fishy in this credit crisis. Mortgages are supposedly the reason why banking institutions are down. Further it is typically stated that they are worth only 20 to 30 cents on the dollar.
If this were really true, I (and many others I am sure) would love to buy back my personal mortgage which is supposedly trading/worth right now somewhere in the area of 20-30 cents on the dollar. I would even like to buy the mortgages of others.
But they will tell you NO NO NO!
