My Thoughts on the 1st Debate

Obama was well prepared. Articulated his points very well. McCain was snobbish and a bit of an asshole.

However, McCain did well as well. There were no gaffes that I really thought were worth mentioning.

Because I am not in the tank for either, I say it was a draw.

I’ve been up past my bedtime and now am going to bed.

More Blogging when I wake up.

Speaking of OY! John McCain's chief of staff is GAY!!!!

If this hits the Main Stream media, it very well could ruin John McCain’s Presidential Campaign.

It appears that John McCain’s Chief of staff is a Homosexual. 

Quote:

What does John McCain’s loyal chief of staff – a man who apparently is in a long-term relationship with another man, and appears to be open about it to John McCain — think about the fact that Sarah Palin devoutly worships at a church that promotes “converting” gays to heterosexuality? What, conversely, does she think of him? More importantly, what does John McCain think about all of this? And don’t we deserve some answers from the American media?

Over the past month I’ve been contacted by three different individuals (two of them members of the Log Cabin Republicans) claiming that McCain’s Senate chief of staff, Mark Buse, is gay. None of these individuals would be quoted by name, though each described Buse as being rather “open” to those around him and to his family – in a “glass closet” rather than deeply undercover or trying to appear heterosexual.

Then I was contacted in recent weeks by 46-year-old Brian Davis, an Arizona resident, who told me about his intimate relationship with Mark Buse (confirmed by Davis’ mother, as well as by a long-time friend), and who decided he needed to tell the truth about Buse, on the record, in light of John McCain’s dramatic shift to the ideological religious right in this election and his choice of Sarah Palin, starlet of the evangelical movement, as a running mate. (Repeated calls to Mark Buse’s office and calls and email to McCain’s communications office in the Senate regarding this story were unreturned. Mike Rogers, the blogger and activist who revealed the truth about Senator Larry Craig and others in politics, today reports this same reality about Mark Buse that I report here, with separate, independent sourcing.)

[…]

The traditional media may be petrified to pick up this story but people across the country who see McCain’s hypocrisy and who support equality will only demand more answers. Certainly our media could serve us better by getting us those answers rather than once again putting their heads in the sand.

Unbelievable. I’ve always said that the Republican Party is becoming more and more like the Democratic Party everyday. The line of separation is become smaller and more blurred by the minute.

Can someone please tell me, just what the hell happened to the Party of Morals? I always thought that the G.O.P. was the Party of Christian morals? I always thought that the Republican Party was the Anti-Liberal Party? I thought it was the one who differed themselves from the Party of God-forsaken homosexuals? It seems that I was quite wrong about that.

Between this and the Republicans selling the Fiscal Conservatives, like me, up the damn river. I’m almost inclined to believe that the Republican has officially gone to hell.

Needless to say, The Republican Party is NOT the Party of Ronald Reagan. I mean, A gay staffer, A female V.P. pick? What the hell is going on in that Party??!?!?! Whatever happened to women staying home and raising their children and being a good Conservative Christian Woman?  Whatever happened to Conservatives shunning the sin-depraved Homosexuals?

It simply boggles the mind….

Oy: Netroots Smear possibly traced back to Obama?

It seems so…. The guys over at The Jawa Report have been doing some digging, with friends of theirs and the results are startling.

The Points being made are:

  • Evidence suggests that a YouTube video with false claims about
    Palin was uploaded and promoted by members of a professional PR firm.
  • The family that runs the PR firm has extensive ties to the Democratic Party, the netroots, and are staunch Obama supporters.
  • Evidence suggests that the firm engaged in a concerted effort
    to distribute the video in such a way that it would appear to have gone
    viral on its own. Yet this effort took place on company time.
  • Evidence suggests that these distribution efforts included
    actions by at least one employee of the firm who is unconnected with
    the family running the company.
  • The voice-over artist used in this supposedly amateur video is a professional.
  • This same voice-over artist has worked extensively with David
    Axelrod’s firm, which has a history of engaging in phony grassroots
    efforts, otherwise known as “astroturfing.”
  • David Axelrod is Barack Obama’s chief media strategist.
  • The same voice-over artist has worked directly for the Barack Obama campaign.

While some of these points could possibly be argued, if there is any truth to this. Obama might be looking at some serious problems here.

Memeorandum has more reactions.

FBI meets with suspected hacker

Remember the hacker kid that I warned everyone against publishing his picture? 

Well, it seems the FBI has caught up with him.

The Report via WBIR:

Quote:

The FBI is stepping up its investigation into the possibility that a University of Tennessee student hacked into the personal e-mail of Vice
Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

A person who identified himself as a witness tells 10 News that agents with the FBI served a federal search warrant at the Fort Sanders residence of David Kernell early Sunday morning. Kernell lives in the Commons apartment complex at 1115 Highland Ave.

David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis.

A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed there has been “investigatory activity” in Knoxville regarding the Palin case, but she said there are no publicly available search warrants, and no charges have been filed.

A separate law enforcement source confirmed to 10 News that a search warrant was served on Kernell’s apartment.

According to the witness, several agents arrived at The Commons of Knoxville around midnight.

They presented their badges upon entering Kernell’s apartment, where several students were having a party, and took down their names.

The witness tells us they asked him and those who did not live in the unit to go outside. He believes the investigators took about 1.5 to 2 hours taking pictures of everything inside the apartment.

He says Kernell’s three roommates were also subpoenaed, and must testify this week (Tuesday) in Chattanooga.

It could mean quite a bit, and at the same time, it would mean nothing. But I would think with subpoenas and all, someone is in some serious trouble.

I’m still not publishing his picture. 😀

New Poll point out racism within Democrat ranks.

Seems there’s still Racism in the Democratic Party. (what? you’re surprised? whatever for?) Does anyone remember this here? (It’s a speech given by a Democrat.)

Some are not so sure and blame the AP.

Krugman on McCain and Healthcare

This From His Blog:

Here’s what McCain has to say about the wonders of market-based health reform:

“Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.”

So McCain, who now poses as the scourge of Wall Street, was praising financial deregulation like 10 seconds ago — and promising that if we marketize health care, it will perform as well as the financial industry!

Ouch! That was tough.

There is no denying it. The Republican Party is the wrong side of all the issues. I’ll be the first to admit this. Especially the economy. I know, many people within that party will deny this, but it is true. However, I will say this also. It is because of recklessness in both parties, Democrats and Republicans both, and yes, that does include the Clinton Administration as well, that we’re in the situation we are in now.  

I just hope that the powers that be, will make decisions for the well being of the country and will put partisan politics aside.

Just a thought…But

Seeing that John McCain is making rather idiotic gaffes like Firing the SEC chair, Which he cannot do and then basically insulting the Prime Minister of Spain. 

It’s no damn wonder he is slipping in the polls. Well, that and picking a Vice President who’s biggest accomplishment was being a PTA Board Member, A Mayor and The Governor of Alaska. That and being able to see Russia from her house.

It’s no damn wonder she’s being dis invited and canceling appearances.

Just sayin’…

Yes, I know about the Sarah Palin e-mail scandal

Yes, I know about the email story. No, I’m not quoting it or putting any of those pictures here. As it might cross into legal issues, and quite frankly, jail sucks.

There’s a little funny story behind my finding out about it.

As a Blogged about earlier, I had to attend a memorial service for my Dad’s Sister, who died on Sept 10.

Well, that few hours, turned into about a 5 hour event and seeing I was living on about 4 hours sleep, from like the previous evening. I was dog tired.  Hell, if someone would have told me that the Russians were firing nukes at the United States, I would have most likely have told them, that as long as they didn’t land in my bedroom, I didn’t honestly give two flips, as I was tired and going to sleep. Needless to say, my bed was looking mighty fine by the time I made it back home.

Anyhow, I finally awoke from my slumber around 7:30, Hell, I slept through a Pizza delivery. I never sleep through a pizza delivery, ever.

So, anyhow, I woke up, put my glasses on, and got my pizza slices out of the microwave, and I took a bite and opened my news source and this story was the headliner. I nearly choked on my pizza! 😯 😮

Now I said all that to say all this. My reaction to this story is….. Well, basically, Yawn and if you’re a big time Government person like Palin, Why the hell would you use a web e-mail service like yahoo anyhow? That just doesn’t strike me as very smart at all.

I mean, The Republicans are trying to run this narrative that they’re so much better than the Democrats. Needless to say, this is not helping further that narrative at all.

You can follow the story and see the opinions at Memeornadum and TechMeMe. Me? I’m going back to bed. I need more sleep. 😛

Terrorist attack on U.S. Embassy in Yemen

Video:

The Story Via CNN:

Suspected Al Qaeda disguised as security forces launched an explosive assault on the U.S. Embassy in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, Wednesday killing 10 Yemeni police and civilians, officials said.

The attack involved two car bombs, a spokesman for Yemen’s embassy in Washington said. Six attackers, including a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest, were also killed in the attack, Mohammed al-Basha said.

The attack involved at least four explosions — including at least one car bomb — and sniper fire, a senior State Department official said, adding that no U.S. Embassy employees were killed.

The heavily fortified compound in the capital of Yemen — the ancestral home of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden — has previously been targeted in attacks.

The U.S. official told CNN that the attackers initially opened fire outside the embassy’s security gate, then there was the main explosion followed by a secondary explosion.

At some point, snipers positioned across the street from the embassy opened fire on Yemeni first responders as they arrived on the scene, the official said.

Those killed include six Yemeni policemen and four civilians, he said, noting that the number of wounded is unclear.

Yemen believes al Qaeda is responsible for the attack, al-Basha said. Media reports said Islamic Jihad in Yemen — which is affiliated with al Qaeda — has claimed responsibility for the attack, but CNN could not independently confirm those reports.

Trev Mason, a British national who lives near the embassy, said he saw “a massive fireball” near compound.

“We heard the sounds of a heavy gun battle going on,” he told CNN. “I looked out my window, and we saw the first explosion going off — a massive fireball very close to the U.S. Embassy.

“The gun battle went on for a further 10 to 15 minutes, followed by two further loud explosions.”

The first explosion happened about 9:15 a.m. Wednesday (0615 GMT/2.15 am ET) and was followed by several secondary blasts, said U.S. Embassy spokesman Ryan Gliha.

I just wonder, will the democrats dismiss this as an attempt by the U.S. Government to scare people into voting Republican? I also wonder will Juan McSame turn this into a Political talking point? It is to wonder. 🙄
