And Dr. Paul Krugman on McBush’s Blizzard of Lies…

The McBush campaign is upset that Barack Obama used the line “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig” in a speech today. Of course, Sarah Palin was first to bring the subject of lipstick into the campaign with her corny joke in her RNC speech last week. And John McSame himself used the same line about lipstick and pigs when criticizing Hillary Clinton’s healthcare proposals last year. What’s so “offensive” about pigs and lipstick?

I said I was sorry, now buy our oil!

Swingin’ single and U.S. Secretary of State Condi Rice will break bread with terrorist leader Muammar Gaddafi, of Libya, this weekend. Never mind the fact that (r)epukes constantly criticize Obama’s reported willingness to sit down and chat with leaders of nations hostile to U.S. interests. Libya has apologized for the Lockerbie bombing which killed 180 Americans in 1988, and that means he’s A-OK with the Bush crowd. After all, Libya has plenty of oil, and the Bushies never have a problem putting their thirst for more oil before American lives.

My friend and fellow Dem Casey alerted me to the fact that John McBush was not wearing a flag lapel pin Wednesday night when he came onstage during the Sarah Palin love-in. Just another slip up by the bush league McSame campaign team, I figured. Tonight (Thursday), McBush’s handlers chose to send him on stage without a flag pin- again!

I’ve never been a big American flag lapel pin guy. I don’t feel that pins or bumper stickers prove one’s patriotism. But after months of       (r)epuke attacks against Obama for having the nerve to appear in public without one, I am amazed that John McCain took the stage tonight pinless. Who the hell runs this campaign of his?

Yuck Yuck Huck

That ol’ jokester Huckleberry just claimed that Sarah Palin got more votes for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (pop. 9000) than Joe Biden did for President of the U-nited States. Yuck yuck. I’m assuming that the McBush campaign will say that the comment was “just a joke”, as it is blatantly untrue. Those (r)epukes sure are funny!

Biden received more votes in Florida (after he’d already dropped out of the Democratic Presidential Primary of 2008), 15,704 than Sarah Palin received for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska in 1999, 909.

But hey, Huck was just kiddin’.

The McBush campaign has announced that Sarah Palin’s seventeen year old daughter is pregnant. (I am not using the name of the young woman on this blog for she has done nothing wrong. For those who for some reason need to know her name, it is easy to find).

Sarah Palin associates with the pro-”life” crowd, many of whom oppose birth control. I’d like to know what Sarah Palin’s positions are on birth control. Specifically, I’d like her to answer the simple question John McBush refused to answer regarding insurance companies, Viagra, and birth control. (Seen here)…

I wish her daughter well in both her pregnancy and upcoming marriage. Let’s leave her out of this and focus on her mother’s ideas on teenaged pregnancy and birth control.

Hooooraaay for Cancer!!!

Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin appeared on an Alaskan “shock jock” radio show in January of this year. At one point in the program, one of the hosts referred to Alaska’s state senate president and fellow republican Lyda Green as a “cancer” and a “bitch”. Green is a cancer survivor. Palin’s response? Laughter. Audio clip here…

Early 80s soft core porn star? No!- (r)epuke VP nominee

McBush has chosen his running mate. It’ll be Sarah Palin. Sarah has been governor of Alaska since 2006 and before that she served two terms as both Wasilla, Alaska (pop. 9000) city councilwoman and mayor of that thriving metropolis. Sarah’s other accomplishments include being named runner up of the 1984 Miss Alaska contest and marrying one of the few (r)epuke union members left in America. And I thought Brownie’s resume was impressive!

The pick clearly shows the level of desperation that has overtaken the McSame campaign. His pathetic staff has decided that the best way to charm Hillary voters is to name a pro-”life”, pro-gun, pro-war (almost) beauty queen. Didn’t they even bother to check out what Hillary Clinton stands for? I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again- any Hillary voter who casts a ballot for McCain/Palin should immediately switch his or her registration to (r). This pick is such a joke.

These are the words of this man…

Nathan Johnson

Three men high on methamphetamine were apprehended outside Denver after a routine traffic stop yielded scoped rifles, bulletproof vests, fake IDs, and walkie talkies. The men had been doing drugs in a hotel room and rambling about assassinating Barack Obama. As of this writing, they have been charged with drug and weapons offenses but are not being treated as would be terrorists by authorities.

Soon after the story broke, the w(r)ong wing blogosphere was abuzz about how this was probably a “set up” designed to benefit Obama. One fool even suggested that the suspects were probably Democrats. Unbelievable. These (r)epuke hacks are using this opportunity to push scare tactics on voters with talk of widespread rioting should Obama be shot. Of course, all of the rioters in their apocalyptic scenarios are black.

The police say that these men posed no credible threat to the candidate. The DNC is certainly a fortified event and these three clowns would likely have never gotten very close to Barack. But is that any reason to discount the threat they posed and argue that it is just a ploy for votes? Of course not.
