Attn. John McCain:

Thank you for being the better man. For knowing that you shouldn't fight in a situation like this.

But fuck your crowd for still being gutless slime.

The downpour continues

From Hart's Location: Obama wins.


Another city that hasn't gone to a Democrat in well, from the info I can find, EVER. It's also the largest margin a presidential candidate has EVER won in that city. Let the heavens open, here comes the rain!

It begins.... Now.

From the AP: Obama wins in earliest vote

DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — Democrat Barack Obama came up a big winner in the presidential race in Dixville Notch, N.H., where the nation's first Election Day votes were cast and counted early Tuesday.

Obama defeated John McCain 15-6. Independent Ralph Nader was also on the ballot, but received no votes.

Oh. My. Word. Dixville Notch? Seriously? Dixville hasn't gone to a Democrat since 1968, and just as a reference, had 26 voters last year. Compared to this year's 21. Last year they chose Bush over Kerry 19 to 7. We're seeing a near complete flip in numbers.

Buckle up, guys, this could get epic.

Abysmal Stupidity Results In Deadly Explosion

From: A nameless idiot on a site called Wajas

"McCain isn't much better. But he's certainly a break from either side from the past, the corrupt Bushies in power now, and the Big-Government left trying to muscle their way up to the trough."

I think it's funny that people accuse Obama of being "big government," and then turn around and claim that McCain is any better, or any different than the administration we're currently under (when McCain voted WITH Bush 90% of the time. Some "maverick.") It shows that they're uneducated on the matters, and just buying into the propaganda being fed to them by Fox News and the far right.

Newsflash: Some government control is NECESSARY for things to function as they should. Deregulation is BAD. Massive tax cuts for big corporations (especially those that ship our jobs overseas) are BAD. Not having a solid, sensible economic plan IS BAD.

Would Obama's policies "fix" everything? No. At this point, only the world's biggest miracle could do that (thanks to eight years of cronyism, deregulation, "trickle-down economics," and Bush Administration policies that favor Big Business and the super-wealthy top 5% over middle- and lower-class consumers.) But they would do far, far less harm than McCain's shoddy proposals, which read like four more years of Bush, Jr. Plus, his tax plan is more sensible and sustainable, giving MORE back to 95% of all Americans, as opposed to catering solely to the super-wealthy in the mistaken belief that THEIR prosperity will "trickle down" to make the rest of us wealthier.

Not to mention "conservatives" like McCain want to EXPAND government to intrude upon Americans' personal lives - phone tapping, domestic spy programs, intrusion into your bedroom and personal relationships through "legislated morality" and Constitutional amendments set up to DENY personal freedoms, etc. How is THAT not "big government"?

Also, Obama's running mate isn't a power-mad, borderline psychotic religious zealot/country bumpkin who hobnobs with violent secessionists (who, in turn, associate with Chechen separatists) while claiming to be "country first!", as well as has ties to militant Christian hate groups (see Joel's Army) whose ultimate goal is to engage in worldwide mass murder of everyone who doesn't side with them. Also, Biden's idea of foreign policy experience is NOT "I can see Russia from my house!"

Yeah. I think I'll take Obama/Biden's sensibility and SANITY over what's being served up by the Republican party this go-round.

The Crux of Republican Selfishness and Hate

From MyFox Detroit: No Treats for Obama Supporters

A Grosse Pointe Farms woman is accused of pulling a political dirty trick. Instead of giving away treats to every child who knocks on her door, parents say she's only giving them to kids who agree with her choice for president. FOX 2's Andrea Isom talked with the woman accused of denying children candy.

Follow the link for the news clip related to the story.

Lady, I hope people egging your house wasn't the worst thing that happened to it last night. You deny candy to children on Halloween just because of your self-righteous political hate? You're a fucking monster.

ABANDON SHIP, WE'RE GOING DOWN!

Stolen from the Daily Kos: Fmr. Reagan Chief-of-Staff endorses Obama, and slams McCain and Palin.




YEEEE-OUCH. The complete implosion of the Republican party continues.

And Knowing Is Half the Battle

So what's the other half, then?

Left-Wing Mailbag, "OUCH!" Edition

J-G Letters Page, 9/29/2008

Terrorists missed ‘real Americans’

I imagine the terrorists must be disappointed now that Sarah Palin and John McCain have revealed that only true Americans live in small towns. I guess the 3,000-plus people they murdered in New York and Washington weren’t real Americans, so I guess the war was about oil all along.

TONY RUMPEL Fort Wayne

I believe the kids these days say you should get them some ice for that one, 'cause that's a WICKED BURN.

The implosion continues.

Dozens of McCain staffers walk off in protest.

"We were asked to read something saying [Obama and Democrats] were against protecting children from danger," this worker said. "I wouldn't do it. A lot of people left. They thought it was disgusting."

This is all McCain has left. Slime so bad that call center employees refuse to read it. They're desperate and pathetic.

Bravo to those who risked their jobs, rather than read this trash.

McCain Campaign: Pants Aflame

From Daily Kos: What Did The McCain Campaign Know And When Did They Know It?

Just how involved in pushing the now discredited fake attack story was the McCain campaign? Remember, before the police had released any details on the alleged attack, it was being reported that:



The McCain campaign later retracted their claims, and now tonight, are denying they were the source of the quotes in the first place.

If the media doesn't ignore this (like they have with so many other damning stories about McShame's campaign), this could very well end this election now. This is outright fraud.

On the Subject of Flaming Trousers

From KDKA CBS Channel 2, Pittsburgh: Police: Campaign Volunteer Lied, Injured Self

Ashley Todd told investigators today she "just wanted to tell the truth" -- and was not robbed or attacked
Todd, 20, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police say a campaign volunteer confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker; now she's facing charges.

At a news conference this afternoon, officials said they believe that Ashley Todd's injuries were self-inflicted.

Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police.

So let me see if I've got this right. A McShame supporter claims a "dark-skinned African-American man" mugged her, then beat her for having a McSame sticker on her car. She claims this happened right in front of an ATM, despite the fact that the video doesn't show anything like that (you'd think she'd realize that ATMs are video-surveilled). She also claims that this mugger carved a B into her cheek, supposedly to make her think of Obama. (Am I the only one thinking this sounds like something out of South Park?)

Now she admits that she's a lying sack of shit, despite nobody really believing her anyhow. And, thanks to her filing of a false police report, she's facing charges.

Hmm... a white woman is suddenly attacked, blames a scary black man, then admits she was lying and is the real criminal. Sounds familiar.

"Get the Obama signs off your property—now,"

"Failure to obey this order will result in the immediate death of all family members."

Don't believe what you just read?

Believe it. People are getting DEATH THREATS for supporting Obama now.

Two supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama found handwritten death threats in their mailboxes Thursday and reported them to Villa Park police.

A 74-year-old woman and a 46-year-old man with Obama signs in their front yards near the 600 block of South Villa Avenue received similar letters that had a Villa Park Village Hall return address. "Get the Obama signs off your property—now," the letter reads. "Failure to obey this order will result in the immediate death of all family members." Both residents said they will not remove their signs, though the man, who had voted Republican for 25 years before switching parties this year, said his wife is worried about letting their 7-year-old son play alone outside.

Village President Joyce Stupegia said she has not heard about any other letters.

"I'm quite troubled," she said. "It's obviously a person who's a little nutsy getting carried away. But it's unacceptable."

So, McCain.... Are you still "proud" of your supporters? Are you going to come out and condemn this action as the despicable criminal behavior that it is? Are you going to stand up, take the HIGH ROAD for once, and say "This is NOT what the Republican party stands for, and I will not tolerate this sort of behavior from people who claim to support me"?

Of course not. Whatever it takes to either win the election, or burn the country down after losing, right?

Seriously, now. I wonder if the fucknut who wrote those letters would have been even half as bold if those signs had read "Gun Owners For Obama". And it's people LIKE that, that are making me seriously think about getting a big, fierce-looking German shepherd and a .35mm for personal safety - just BECAUSE people like that seem to be becoming more and more common, and more and more unhinged, thanks to McCain/Palin's stirring up of hatred and violence.

This is what the Republican party has sunk to, people - Not ALL, but ENOUGH - violence, vandalism, and death threats. And then they have the nerve to call themselves "freedom-loving", "Pro-America", and "Christian"....

Dear Mr. McCain

....Where was your FLAG PIN tonight? I thought people who really loved America wore FLAG PINS. But you're not wearing a FLAG PIN, so does this mean you hate America?

Right-wingers: Are you going to throw a fit because McCain wasn't wearing a FLAG PIN, like you did with Obama? I mean, when Obama didn't wear a FLAG PIN, you accused him of being unpatriotic, unAmerican, all kinds of nasty things... But somehow... Somehow I think you're going to give Mr. McCain a free pass, even though he wasn't wearing a FLAG PIN tonight, either - but Obama WAS.

Hypocrites.

Sarah Palin: The Anchor on McCain's sinking ship.

Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power.

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin abused her power as Alaska's governor and a violated state ethics law by trying to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from the state police, a state investigator's report concluded Friday.

I don't think I need to say anything else, really.

At least he didn't call us his friends again.

"My fellow prisoners"

Wow, McCain seems to be having war flashbacks. The implosion of a candidate, folks.

You want to talk about "that one", McCain?

Well, I want to talk about this one:

Live Blogging from the Debate (Strikes back)

That's the end, folks.

I'm calling it for Obama, FIERCELY. He showed he wasn't going to take crap, he gave solid answers, and frankly still managed to show respect to McCain, something the old man seemed incapable of doing.

Adding something after the fact. Behold, McCain's dickishness knows no bounds. He won't even shake Obama's hand.

Live Blogging from the Debate (Strikes back)

I'm wondering how many alcohol related deaths are going to come from people taking a drink everytime Senator McCain said "My Friends" tonight.

Jesus. You're not my friend, knock it off.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

He's now starting to layer it into the same answer, over and over!

Live Blogging from the Debate (Strikes back)

McCain calls Obama "That one".

Nice. FUCKING NICE, Senator. Dehumanize your opponent. FUCK you.

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve"

Remember Sarah "Mooselini" Palin saying Sen. Obama was "palling around with terrorists"?

Looks like the Obama campaign isn't going to take that kind of smear lying down.

The campaign has built a site to show what happens when you start playing with fire: Keating Economics: John McCain and the Making of a Financial Crisis.

Like I keep saying: You fuck with the bull, son, you get the horns.
