Idiot from Alaska, Felons, Skinheads & Mcsame

links provided...
Hello gang, sorry about the long absence, had alot going on around here, from feeling under the weather to getting my next work assignment straightened out. Hope you are all voting early, like I am about to do today. And watch those machines, remember when NC lost 4,500 early votes?
So, I guess you have all heard the Hoax. I noticed Strider wrote a post about it, the girl that claimed she was mugged at an ATM that she was never at, and had a "Big Black Man" carve a backwards B (Mirrors anyone?) in her cheek. If you missed it check it out. Notice though, McSame himself has not denounced the action. In fact his campaign perpetuated this lie, as did Fox news. I guess shame is something McCain and his campaign knows little about.

Backwards B...HMMMM Who said McCain supporters were bright?
 
Stroking the Bradley effect, that is all they have been doing for the past few weeks, with Fannie/Freddie, which Alan Greenspan himself in congressional testimony admitted did not cause our financial crisis, and with this non-sense regarding ACORN. But for something a little less hoaxy, did you notice this skinhead assassination plot against Obama? Of course, they had little chance to do it, but it reaffirms the obvious. Skinheads vote McCain...LOL. How's that for a questionable endorsement?

John McCain: " when you reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more [in taxes]"


Ok, joking to the side, let's talk some other news. Like the fact that we have been conducting attacks in Syria and Pakistan. Wow, I guess since they are having problems with the deal to keep U.S. troops in Iraq, they think a new war is needed? I mean WTF?!
Oh, and another one bites the dust. Ted "bridge to no-where" Stevens (R-Alaska) has been found guilty on all 7 charges. And a week before his "re-election", ouch! I guess Palin didn't quite clean up Alaska as much as she said, huh. Oh yea, she worked on Steven's campaign. That's right. Oh those darn ethics laws in Alaska! Well, at least Palin's home town newspaper (who knows more about Palin than anyone) has made a choice. They are for Obama...LOL. Guess they know what McCain Advisors have learned the hard way...
"Her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was
dramatic
," said another McCain source with direct knowledge of the
process to prepare Palin after she was picked. The source said it was
probably the "hardest" to get her "up to speed than any candidate in
history.
"

Did that just say that she is the biggest idiot that GOP campaign workers have ever tried to prepare? I think they did..LOL

Speaking of the lipstick pig woman (no offense to pigs), I found an interesting piece on why McCain chose this political disaster and certified idiot for a running mate. Here is a little piece of that...
"What about Sarah Palin?" Schmidt asked.
After a moment of silence, Fred Davis, McCain's creative director
(and not related to Rick), said, "I did the ads for her gubernatorial
campaign." But Davis had never once spoken with Palin, the governor of
Alaska. Since the Republican Governors Association had paid for his
work, Davis was prohibited by campaign laws from having any contact
with the candidate. All Davis knew was that the RGA folks had viewed
Palin as a talent to keep an eye on. "She'd certainly be a maverick
pick," he concluded.

The meeting carried on without Schmidt or Rick Davis uttering an
opinion about Palin. Few in the room were aware that the two had been
speaking to each other about Palin for some time now. Davis was with
McCain when the two met Palin for the first time, at a reception at the
National Governors Association winter meeting in February, in the J. W.
Marriott Hotel in Washington. It had not escaped McCain's attention
that Palin had blasted through the oleaginous Alaska network dominated
by Frank Murkowski and Ted Stevens, much in the same manner that McCain
saw himself doing when he was a young congressman. Newt Gingrich and
others had spoken of Palin as a rising star. Davis saw something else
in Palin %uFFFD namely, a way to re-establish the maverick persona McCain
had lost while wedding himself to Bush's war. A female running mate
might also pick off some disaffected Hillary Clinton voters.

After that first brief meeting, Davis remained in discreet but
frequent contact with Palin and her staff %uFFFD gathering tapes of speeches
and interviews, as he was doing with all potential vice-presidential
candidates. One tape in particular struck Davis as arresting: an
interview with Palin and Governor Janet Napolitano, the Arizona
Democrat, on "The Charlie Rose Show" that was shown in October 2007.
Reviewing the tape, it didn't concern Davis that Palin seemed out of
her depth on health-care issues or that, when asked to name her
favorite candidate among the Republican field, she said, "I'm
undecided." What he liked was how she stuck to her pet issues %uFFFD energy
independence and ethics reform %uFFFD and thereby refused to let Rose manage
the interview. This was the case throughout all of the Palin footage.
Consistency. Confidence. And . . . well, look at her. A friend had said
to Davis: "The way you pick a vice president is, you get a frame of
Time magazine, and you put the pictures of the people in that frame.
You look at who fits that frame best %uFFFD that's your V. P."

Schmidt, to whom Davis quietly supplied the Palin footage, agreed.
Neither man apparently saw her lack of familiarity with major national
or international issues as a serious liability.
Instead, well before
McCain made his selection, his chief strategist and his campaign
manager both concluded that Sarah Palin would be the most dynamic pick.
Despite McInturff's encouraging new numbers, it remained their
conviction that in this ominous election cycle, a Republican
presidential candidate could not afford to play it safe. Picking Palin
would upend the chessboard; it was a maverick type of move. McCain, the
former navy pilot, loved that sort of thing. Then again, he also loved
familiarity %uFFFD the swashbuckling camaraderie with his longtime staff
members, the POW band of brothers who frequently rode the bus and
popped up at his campaign events, the Sedona ranch where he unwound and
grilled wagonloads of meat. By contrast, McCain had barely met Palin.

Purely political, with no thought to her effect or qualifications. But she looks good (especially after over $150,000 spent on her face and clothes, elitist what?!) on the cover of Time, and people without brains (aka, part of the republican base) vote for "Purdy peeple".

I heard on the news tonight that a "highly placed scource in the McCain campaign called Gov. Palin a "whackjob". Between jerkwad skinheads and women carving "B"s in their face, the whackjobs seem to be crawling out of the woodwork.
