1. Members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for really drinking it up.
2. Rep. Tim Walberg For being the only person to vote against the head start program
3. To Neo-Con asshole Michael Goldfarb for comparing NYT’s Editorial Board to the adverage Daily Kos Diarist. When he himself is a blogger at McCain’s Blog and also is the editor and Blogger at the Weekly standard. 🙄
Initially, I thought this was a great idea.
However, upon further reflection, I think it will do little good. We’ll have to settle this in November.
Remember and Vote.

This would be sweet…
Via The Jawa Report:
Stratfor reports that the United States is attempting to verify rumors coming out of Pakistan that al Qaeda’s #2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was killed in a July 28 Predator airstrike.
Intelligence sources told The Jawa Report last week that ‘the hunt was on’ in Pakistan for a ‘big fish’. Could this be the big fish they were talking about?
The major — and I mean major — caveat here is that Zawahiri has been rumored to have been killed on a number of previous occasions.
US Forces are said to be going to make an announcement soon about the rumors.
The stupid chorus of “Can we go home now?” from the commie left to start in 5…4…3…2..1

According to numerous press reports, President George W. Bush plans to attend the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in Beijing, China later this month. Bush said that it “would be an affront to the Chinese people” if he stayed away. Other world leaders, including Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain, are choosing to not attend the opening ceremonies in the communist country.
It is hard for this writer to laud President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but in this case, even the socialist Roosevelt showed more integrity than our so-called “conservative” President, George W. Bush. When the 1936 Olympics were held in Berlin, Germany, President Roosevelt refused to attend those ceremonies for fear that his presence would give honor and prestige to the notorious Adolf Hitler. And so it would have. And, by the same token, when President Bush attends the opening ceremonies in China, he is giving honor and prestige to the bloody butchers of Beijing who have persecuted, tortured, and murdered multiplied thousands of the Chinese people since the communist regime took power in 1949.
President Bush said it would be an affront to the Chinese people if he did not attend the Olympics. Wrong. It would be an affront to the Red Chinese tyrants. And they deserve to be affronted! Instead, by attending the Olympic ceremonies, Bush is choosing to affront the hundreds of thousands of Chinese victims who have suffered brutality and barbarism at the hands of the very people Bush will be wining and dining with. Actually, by participating in the Beijing Olympics, President Bush is an affront to freedom-loving people everywhere.
For example, the Chinese government has already created profiles of thousands of foreign journalists coming to cover the Olympic games. Communist officials will also be spying on virtually every visitor from the moment they arrive in China. Red Army surrogates will monitor virtually all Internet activity. One Chinese security official vowed “to punish anyone who takes part in a political, religious or ethnic demonstration or protest ‘in any form’ at an Olympic site during the 2008 Beijing Games.” (Source: The Washington Post)
In fact, Red China has been increasing its crackdowns on “dissenters” throughout 2007 and during the first half of this year in preparation for the Olympics. “There was a 20 percent increase over 2006 in convictions of citizens under China’s overly broad state security law that is often used to silence government critics.” (Source: The Washington Times) In other words, the approaching Olympic Games have served only to intensify the Beijing government’s oppression of the Chinese people.
The many thousands of freedom-loving people in persecuted lands across the globe (including China) feel betrayed and abandoned by President Bush–and rightly so. As President of the United States, Mr. Bush had an opportunity to send the loudest and clearest of messages to the people of the world that America was on the side of freedom and liberty, and that it respects and appreciates the thousands of persecuted people struggling for freedom under totalitarian governments. Instead, by choosing to sit beside the communist officials at the Olympic ceremonies, Mr. Bush has given credence and, at least, tacit support to a bunch of murderous thugs who are the modern-day symbols of oppression and tyranny.
Shame on you, Mr. Bush!

I must say, that I strongly disagree with the Statement of Ross Douthat, that somehow that this McCain video is racist.
Oliver Willis, of whom, has a rib tickling funny tagline of “Like Kryptonite To Stupid”, which I find to be absolutely hilarious. Says this:
I have to confess, I don’t think the overtones in the Paris Hilton/Britney Spears ad from McCain was about race. I think some on my side of the aisle are reading too much into this – the McCain people just aren’t smart enough to be that subtle.
The reaction from Democrats brings to mind an abused wife who now thinks of many/most men as abusive, without any evidence saying that. Dems have rolled over so much for aggressive Dems that the left is very sensitive to it. Then again, I’m okay with a more aggressive reaction to the very passive way Dems handled these things in the past.
I agree. I think Russ is kinda stretching this thing a wee bit too far. Even Andrew Sullivan does not buy it.
Like Mr. Willis says, I do not think that John McCain would be that blatantly stupid to toss a Political campaign into the wind, just to take a cheap shot at Obama.
Having said that, I think Obama’s continued use of the underhanded race card, which it seems McCain has just now come around to noticing is a bit foolish as well.
I think it would serve both camps well, to just get back to debating the ISSUES and not Race, Celebrity or any of that other idiotic nonsense, yes, he want to Germany and Iraq. Big effin’ deal, nail him on his politics and polices, keep this other nonsense out of it.

Is the people that are running John McCain’s campaign just terminally stupid or what?
Via Martin Eisenstadt‘s Blog:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems that the new McCain ad criticizing Obama for being a celebrity has ruffled some unintended feathers. I, for one, quite liked the ad, but I hear whispers from the inner campaign staff that the phone was burning off the hook today with calls from Paris Hilton’s grandfather, William Barron Hilton (co-chair of the Hilton Hotel empire), furious that the McCain ad drew an unflattering comparison between Obama and his own granddaughter.
It seems that the elder Hilton has donated $18,400 to the McCain campaign, and $35,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the last couple of years. (Paris’s father, Rick Hilton, has given an additional $6,900 to the McCain campaign. Suffice it to say, he’s none too pleased either.)
*snort*
Honestly, are McCain’s staffers even remotely paying attention? 🙄
I look for this ad to disappear, rather quickly, if McCain has any common sense.

This is a bit of a surprise.
Marc Ambinder has the scoop:
With the release today of a McCain television ad blasting Obama for celebrity preening while gas prices rise, and a memo that accuses Obama of putting his own aggrandizement before the country, Weaver said he’s had "enough."
The ad’s premise, he said, is "childish."
"John’s been a celebrity ever since he was shot down," Weaver said. "Whatever that means. And I recall Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush going overseas and all those waving American flags."
Weaver remains in contact with senior McCain strategists and, for a while early this year, regularly talked to McCain.
The strategy of driving up Obama’s negatives "reduces McCain on the stage," Weaver said.
"For McCain to win in such troubled times, he needs to begin telling the American people how he intends to lead us. That McCain exists. He can inspire the country to greatness."
He added: "There is legitimate mockery of a political campaign now, and it isn’t at Obama’s. For McCain’s sake, this tomfoolery needs to stop."
On one hand, his opinion is legit, as I thought the "Celeb" ad was a bit silly. However, i have to wonder if this is just a bad case of sour grapes.
On the other hand, you know your campaign is having issues, when former staff members come out against you.
Barry Quips:
"You know, I don’t pay attention to John McCain’s ads, although I do notice he doesn’t seem to have anything to say very positive about
himself. He seems to only be talking about me. You need to ask John McCain what he’s for and not just what he’s against," he said.
Well Barry, for one, he’s against commie Liberal Marxist Negros like you.

Lyrics:
I’m back on it like I just signed my record deal
yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
never should have hated, you never should’ve doubted him
with a slot in the president’s iPod Obama shattered ’emSaid I handled his biz and I’m one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I’m ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice presidentHillary hated on you, so that b^$&%* is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
and all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my manyou can’t stop what’s bout to happen, we bout to make history
the first black president is destined and it’s meant to bethe threats ain’t fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it’s time to get out and vote!
paint the White House black and I’m sure that’s got ’em terrified
McCain don’t belong in ANY chair unless he’s paralyzedYeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw em like candy wrap
cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents
get out and vote or the end will be near
the world is ready for change because Obama is here!
cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
Wow. Talking about taking every nuance and racial baiting stereotype and turning it up to 110!
Oyyy….
But that’s them Liberal Commies. Thank you President Johnson.
Of course, the Obamassiah’s Camp has saved face:
“As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics
today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images
that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to,” said
spokesman Bill Burton. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to
Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush,
it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with
the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he
should be ashamed of these lyrics.”
That’s it, cover that black ass… We’ll see in November.

There have been times, when I, as a Blogger, have wanted to bang my head on the desk. There are times, when I have become so frustrated at the level of stupidity being served by both sides of this political discourse, that I have seriously thought about just shutting this Blog down and disappearing into the mists of ether and finding something else to do. There are times, when I, as a Blogger, have shook my fist in righteous indignation at some of the things written by both sides of this political divide, that is called Politics.
However, this, my friends, is scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel. It seems that the Liberal Blogging world, with it’s lack of substantive accusations against John McCain, has, in fact, began publishing stories about a topic, that normally would not even receive the light of day in a legitimate publication; His Shoes.
That is right ladies and Gentleman; the liberal bloggers are now publishing stories about John McCain’s shoes. This female blogger at the Huffington Post by the name of Isabel Wilkinson, whose political credentials are that of a Dallas cowboy cheerleader, wrote a rather vain piece about the kind of shoes that John McCain wears. I have to honestly wonder aloud, who in the Huffington Post was the recipient of this woman’s oral sex, for her to get that job as a writer. Because whoever they were, they hired a real winner here.
I am not a John McCain cheerleader, not by a long shot. However, this sort of lame attempt by the left to paint John McCain as some sort of out of touch, rich, elitist is about the lamest thing I have ever read, in a good long while. This ranks up there with the New York Times piece on the supposed affair that McCain was having with a lobbyist.
It is not that I am against criticizing John McCain, not at all. There are legitimate concerns that I have with McCain as well, his closeness to Bush, his ties to lobbyists, his wanting to bomb Iran, but to write an article about his shoes? How absurd. The left can much better than this, and they know it. The quicker they start doing that, the better, because right about now, they look like total idiots in my eyes, and I would imagine in the eyes many other people as well.
