Breaking Video- New Obama Ad On McCain's Homes

Thu Aug 21, 2008 at 08:03:35 AM PDT

Dude, I just wanted to get this out there. I'll add more. It was uploaded to youtube 7 minutes ago, I stumbled on it by accident.

Script via FleetAdmiralJ

   Maybe you're struggling just to pay the mortgage on your home, but recently John McCain said that the fundamentals of our economy are strong.

   Hmm.  Then again, that same day, when asked how many houses he owns, McCain lost track.  He couldn't remember.  Well, it's seven.  Seven houses. (show White House on screen) And here's one house America can't afford to let John McCain move into.

The "Swiftboating" Meme Is Out Against General Clark- Updated

Sun Jun 29, 2008 at 08:18:24 PM PDT

Just got back to the computer and saw Gotta, my co-blogger's post.

CNN:  "Wesley Clark tried to Swiftboat John McCain today."

Rick Sanchez's lead-in to his next segment just now on CNN:

   "Wesley Clark tried to Swiftboat John McCain today."

I'm liveblogging. He goes on to say:

   "It will reverberate for weeks. Wes Clark tried to diss McCain's military record, that his service doesn't qualify him to be president."

Rick Sanchez is mad.

Obama Outraises McCain 2x In...... Indiana?

Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 01:23:20 PM PDT

Caught this in my local paper, and just wanted to share the good news. I am supporting Obama, but this is fantastic for any and all Democrats.

Why?

The state has not voted for a Democratic Presidential Nominee since Lyndon Johnson in 1964, but a poll shows a generic Democrat leading a generic Republican in the Presidential election 37%-32%.[44] Another poll by the Indianapolis Star showed the War in Iraq and the sluggish economy to be the biggest issues among Hoosiers.

IN-06: The 19th Most Influential Conservative Is Going Down.

Sun Nov 04, 2007 at 07:04:43 PM PDT

Want to help?

19. MIKE PENCE
Congressman

 
A lawyer and former talk radio host who was elected to Congress in 2000, he has described himself as "a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order" and called for a "return to the values" of the 1994 Republican Revolution. Just 47, and youthful despite his white hair, a future presidential bid is a near certainty for this articulate, forceful Indiana congressman regarded on both sides of the aisle as a rising star.

Chair of the Republican Study Committee, a conservative congressional caucus, Pence is a campaigner for small government, low taxes and the outlawing of abortion. But he departed from the Republican Right orthodoxy over immigration, introducing a compromise bill that was an imaginative attempt to split the difference between George W. Bush and congressional Republicans.

Mike Pence is right between Glenn Beck and Ed Gillespie on the list- higher than GWB & Roger Ailes, and the only current House Member other than Ron Paul (96).

D.C. Pulls A Fast One On Protesters Today

I was just doing my regularly scheduled morning surfing when I came upon a note at my fellow Hoosiers' blog Left Of Centrist. I knew Robert had planned to attend the protest in D.C. today and wondered how it was going.

Armitage Was First Libby Leaker For A Reason.

Thu Jul 05, 2007 at 02:57:37 PM PDT

 I just spent 10 blood pressure raising minutes screaming at Melanie Sloan on Hardball. Chris was harping on why Armitage was the main leaker (anti-war, no friend of Cheney Armitage) if it was a conspiracy?

If only she could have heard me.

It makes perfect sense the Richard Armitage was the first and primary leaker. I know because the "Beltway Insiders" told me.

Go To Hell,  Fred Kagan.

Mon Jun 18, 2007 at 05:35:49 PM PDT

I'm writing this here because Cliff doesn't want us to get too overwrought with the fucks, but there is no other way to put it.

Surge Architect: More Time Needed

Fred Kagan, the man widely seen as the "architect" of the military surge in Iraq, sees signs of progress but warns that September is too early to make a final decision about how well it has achieved its goals.

Instead, in an interview with Time.com, Kagan recommended waiting until the end of the year before judging the operation's success. Even then, he added, it might be some months before Iraqis make the political compromises necessary to bring lasting stability to the country.

Fuck you Fred Kagan, and all the other little Kaganites that populate your little fucking echo chamber.

British forces in Iraq and Afghanistan should draw inspiration from victory in the Falklands, Baroness Thatcher said today in a rare public message.

Lady Thatcher drew a parallel between the Falklands and current conflicts in a brief radio message to mark the 25th anniversary of the 10-day war with Argentina that sealed her dominance of British politics.
