Elitist repugs happily splurge on 150 grand for designer clothes

For one person. Somewhere, 'Silky Pony' John Edwards is sorta smiling.

GOP donors are pissed about paying for the real-America WalMart Hockey Mom's Saks Fifth Avenue wardrobe -- and are more than a bit ticked off that the RNC would even think of pulling this boneheaded move while most of the country is struggling with their finances.

The RNC's $150,000 investment in Sarah Palin’s wardrobe has prompted some teeth gnashing among the party’s big donors about its political sensibility and a feisty debate among campaign finance specialists about its legality .

“As a Republican Eagle and a maxed-out contributor to McCain’s general campaign, I’d like my money back – he can still have my vote,” complained one irate donor on Tuesday.

The Republican Eagle has crapped. Repugs are going ballistic, Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic says:

Republicans, RNC donors and at least one RNC staff member have e-mailed me tonight to share their utter disgust at the expenditures.

This sort of spending is without precedent -- [T]he heat for this story will come from Republicans who cannot understand how their party would do something this stupid ... particularly during the collapse of the financial system and the probable beginning of a recession.

Duh. Annnnnnnnd, this story wouldn't be complete without the Fox Nooze hypocrisy:

No chemistry, no trust, no chance, no how

Highly regarded NBC Political Director: "Looks like Cindypills' pharmacist will be extra busy real soon"

Commenting on a new joint interview with John McCain and Sarah Palin, NBC News' Chuck Todd described the Republican ticket as lacking cohesion, chemistry, and trust.

But they look great!

Todd, who was remarking on the interview conducted by NBC's Brian Williams, speculated that the candidates had come to the realization that "they are losing" the campaign, and guessed that McCain may have begun to hold his vice presidential choice responsible for his dwindling White House chances.

Since blaming the media and most of America hasn't gone over so well.

"When you see the two of them together, the chemistry is just not there. You do wonder, is John McCain starting to blame her for things? Blaming himself? Is she blaming him?" asked Todd. "And maybe they don't feel they can win right now, so they are missing that intensity. That was the thing that struck me more than anything. You almost wonder why they wanted the two of them sitting next to each other."

Funny, McInsane called her his "soulmate" not all that long ago. How fickle. Fickle and erratic.

Yet another GOP official denounces McRove's odious robocalls

"They are ugly, loathsome, and quite frankly, unpresidental," Ms Lorrman told a reporter, adding, "And I am strongly inclined to give that man a damn good cockpunching."

A longtime Republican State Senator in Wisconsin history announced on Tuesday that she would be supporting Barack Obama, in part because of the negative tone of the McCain-Palin campaign and, specifically, the use of "dishonorable" anti-Obama robocalls.

Barbara Lorman became the latest in a growing line of GOP officials who have publicly denounced the recent tone and tactics of the McCain camp. In recent days, Sens. Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and Norm Coleman, as well as Colin Powell have all been highly critical of the [despicable, vicious old liar]'s efforts to tie Barack Obama to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers.

Blinky Melanomahead Recieves Key Endorsement

al Qaeda declines to support fellow Socialist terrorist and decides to endorse McCain.

Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.
The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Reich-wingnut response?

Failin'

A new NBC/Wall St. Journal poll finds that erstwhile repuke saviorette Mooselini is now a greater liability for McCain than Preznit DisasterMonkey.

Palin's qualifications to be president rank as voters' top concern about McCain's candidacy -- ahead of continuing Bush's policies, enacting economic policies that only benefit the rich, keeping too high of a troop presence in Iraq, and the senator's creepy old-man grin.

Why do voters hate real America?

A Wardrobe You Can Believe In, My Friends

Another chapter of the never ending series, IOKIYAR
Down to earth hockey mom Saracuda Mooselini, acting as a stimulus package to the NYC economy, has spent more on clothes in one month than Joe the Plumber makes in a year.
WTF? Are Marshalls and Target are too good for Mrs. Joe Six Pack? But at least the cunt doesn't plaster on the make-up like a trollop like McBlinky does.
Ahhh, the good old days, when a $400 haircut was something newsworthy.

McSame campaign a turnoff, say independents

Swing voters are bothered by John McNutjob's temperament and the rethuglican party as a whole.

Jay Sicht -- or, as the McRove/Failin camp would call him, "Jay the Auto-Parts Salesman" -- a 37-year-old independent voter from Columbia, Mo., described Obama as "level-headed, calm, cool and collected under pressure" -- qualities that he wants in a president facing the prospect of a global depression.

McCain, on the other hand, comes off as "hostile" and a "hothead," Sicht said. During the primaries, Sicht was particularly unnerved by John "the Wacked-out Loony" responding to a question about Tehran by referring to the song "Barbara Ann" as "Bomb Iran" and singing, "Bomb, bomb, bomb... " Sicht found nothing funny about it.

"I don't feel he's very stable mentally," said Sicht, who once voted for Bush.

LOL. Did you catch that? What a great campaign slogan! McInsane: fucking nuttier than Drinky McCokehead.

Russ "the Carpenter" Houser, 51, who lives in Cedaredge, Colo., said McCain used to be his "favorite republican." But Houser said that McCain had "gone overboard" in focusing on Ayers, and that the distortions in his attack ads raised doubts about his honesty.

What cemented his unfavorable view of McCain, though, was "the showmanship" of his response to the economic crisis -- "running back to Washington and suspending his campaign," said Houser, an independent. "What kind of douche-ass move was that?"

(Slightly paraphrased for clarity)

McThuselah pulls in massive crowd

If by "massive" you mean "about 15"

John McCain stopped in Columbia on Monday afternoon....

A crowd of about 15 people assembled outside the airport's fence to see him descend from the plane.

Florence Phillips, dropping off her daughter, also saw John F. Kennedy at the airport in 1962, and said she was upset at the small size of the crowd gathered to see McCain.

Campaign volunteer Jane Stuart agreed. In 2000, when then-Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush visited the airport there was a much larger crowd, Stuart said.

That's beautiful. McNutjob is even less popular than Chimpy von Cokespoon.


It's you, gramps.

Psycho McFusepants scares the crap out of me, sez neocon hawk

t another lifelong conservative republican will be voting for Sen. Obama. UnAmerican terrist-lover Ken Adelman explains why he's braving the wrath, emails insulting his mother, and lawn-toilet-papering by the dittospank Malkinian right:

Why so, since my views align a lot more with McCain’s than with Obama’s? And since I truly dread the notion of a Democratic president, Democratic House, and hugely Democratic Senate?

Because McCain ... sucks ... balls. Primarily for two reasons, those of temperament and of judgment.

When the economic crisis broke, I found John McCain bouncing all over the place. In those first few crisis days, he was impetuous, inconsistent, and imprudent; ending up just plain weird. Having worked with Ronald Reagan for seven years, and been with him in his critical three summits with Gorbachev, I’ve concluded that that’s no way a president can act under pressure.

Second is judgment. The most important decision John McCain made in his long campaign was deciding on a running mate.

That decision showed appalling lack of judgment. Not only is Sarah Palin not close to being acceptable in high office — I would not even hire her for dogcatcher (paraphrased).

Bonus:

"The Republican Party is fractured. It is completely, utterly fractured."

"We're doomed... doooooomed! -- Mark Corallo, conservative republican strategist and fake-American traitor.

Bush-backing papers in Texas endorse Obama

Even more conservative papers are slamming the McKeating/Mooselini ticket, repudiating the hateful devisiveness and meanspirited, exclusionary rhetoric of the campaign and that of their svengali, tiny-dicked scumbag Karl Rove. 'Nasty' just doesn't do it anymore, asswipe. The Houston Chronicle:

Perhaps the worst mistake McCain made in his campaign for the White House was the choice of the inexperienced and inflammatory Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.

What a fuckingly boneheaded dick move.

OK, the last bit was me. Even more so than all the flipflopping, the rightwingnut pandering, the erratic lurching, senile 'senior moments' and avoidance of the issues, the major problem for these republican America-hating, biased, drive-by papers from fake-America was the pick of the and odious and imbecilic Caribou Barbie.

A huge, 'staggering endosement' from the College Station Eagle:

Of great concern is McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. She is a candidate of little intellectual curiosity who appears to be hopelessly unready to be president. The fact that people are confused by the difference between Palin and comedian Tina Fey's caustic impersonation is clear evidence that Palin should not be, as they say, a heartbeat away from the presidency...

We also are dismayed by the tenor of the McCain-Palin campaign. It is time for America to look to its future with hope and optimism. It is time to say we can be better. It is time to redefine who we will be as a leader of nations.

With hope in our hearts and confidence in our choice, The Eagle recommends a vote for Barack Obama for president.

A Daily Dish reader responds:

A staggering endorsement? Staggering does not begin to describe it. College Station is home to Texas A&M University, with possibly the most conservative student body outside of Utah or Bob Jones University. I went there and am quite proud to have my degrees from there, but the idea of a paper from that area picking any democrat over a decorated war vet is much more than staggering. I'm looking for plagues of locusts, raining frogs, dogs and cats living together, and mass hysteria.

Later today: McCain will counter the Eagle's endorsement with that of the Southern Waco Poultry 'n' Chaw Tribune.

McInsane's pandering and fearmongering major turnoffs, sez conservative paper

Andrew Sullivan reports that the "real America" Idaho Statesman 'is the latest right-leaning paper to endorse Obama. One critical reason? When picking a running mate,' Obama did not choose an inexperienced, vicious airhead from North Bumfuck who jumped into the national political scene lying her ignorant, hateful ass off.

The Idaho Statesman on the Obama statesmanship:

[W]e cannot dismiss what we have seen and heard during the long job interview that is a presidential campaign. Obama has earned our trust and our support.

When picking a running mate, Obama made a solid choice, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware. Biden gives an Obama administration a seasoned hand on foreign policy and a 36-year Capitol Hill veteran. For all the seductive campaign rhetoric about the value of an "outsider," the reality is that Obama is helped by having a running mate who can deliver results.

McCain countered with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who energized the GOP's conservative base and wowed many Americans with her speech at the Republican convention. Since then, though, the [repulsive, knuckledragging ignoramus] has not convincingly shown she is ready for the White House.

Though she is ready for a position on a Faux Nooze morning show.

McCain made a splashy but impulsive pick designed to court voters. Obama made a smart pick designed to build an effective governing team.

The editorial also goes on to say that while McThuselah certainly has experience, Sen. Obama offers something more. Something that doesn't involve kissing Drinky the Disasterhole's stupid chimpy ass for the past eight years.

[T]he Illinois Democrat has shown American voters something more subtle, but something more important. He has demonstrated the superior intellect and the calm command our nation needs now.

This is incredibly awesome. We may actually be seeing the start of people* finally saying "we have had enough."

*Actual humans, not the monobrowed, barely-sapient dittomonkeys that make up freetardia, anyway.

McCain counters Powell endorsement with that of soap opera actress

No, this is not from The Onion.

As [General and former Bush Sec of State] Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama makes headlines worldwide, John McCain counters with a nod of his own an hour later, blasted out to reporters:

The McCain-Palin campaign today announced the endorsement of Mexican-American actress Katie Barberi, a Telenovela actress currently on Telemundo's Dona Barbara.

OMG. Game over. This can only be bad news -- for Obama.

LOLOL

For as Long as It Lasts....

Sarah Palin Strikes Back On SNL

O-mentum!

This is pretty cool:

What a day. The Denver Post, which had backed George W. Bush in 2004 and is owned by Republican-leaning William Dean Singleton, this evening endorsed Barack Obama for president.

This followed this afternoon's surprises: the Chicago Tribune, which has never in 150 years endorsed a Democrat, backed Obama, as did its fellow Tribune paper, the Los Angeles -- which had endorsed no one in more than 30 years. It seems like a dam broke yesterday with the unexpectedly early choice of Obama by the Washington Post.

Here it is.

In unsteady times, it may seem obvious to gravitate toward the veteran politician, but holy crap -- in this campaign, the old guy has been an absolute fucking disaster.

I don't want to be cocky, but could eight years of peace and prosperity be right around the corner? : )

McSenile's 'thrashing,' 'lurching,' slimy campaign

... comes back to bite him in the ass. Good.

And a Reuters photograph released after the debate that captured a calm Obama next to McCain in a goofy, flailing pose reduced one aide to tears.

Awwww. Too fucking bad. But don't you feel sorry for them: these are the very same people who are putting out all those horrible robo-calls sliming Sen. Obama as a murdering Muslim terrist who eats puppies and pulls wings off butterflies.

Just Relax, Already

A little innocent fun among Republicans.











How dare anybody accuse them of being racist!

God Bless parts of America

Shorter Saracudah "Winky" Mooselini: Small towns are very patriotic, pro-America areas of this great nation. People who live in suburbia or larger cities are liberal commie pinko fags and should be shot like wolves from a helicopter.
It takes a secessionist to know who's pro-American I guess.

And good riddance

... you flaming sack of hateful shit:

Cuntservatard hack Glenn Beck is leaving CNN to join his soulmate of stations, the Fox Nutwork, where he can continue to wallow in gpuke propaganda with the rest of the trogs.

Seriously?

Just like chimpanzees flinging shit and watching for something to stick, the morally and intellectually superior God's Own Party is trying yet another anti-Dem slogan:

They'll "make things worse."

Good luck with that, fucktards.

Rats, deserting ship, eating each other

The McInsane camp is now blaming neocon ballgargler Bill "always wrong" Kristol for the downfall of the campaign. Because he recommended Sarah Failin as a running mate.

"We've got a lot of finger-pointing going on within the camp, and I'd say there's a pretty broad agreement amongst a number of the senior-most advisors to McCain that the Palin pick is worse than disappointing. It's a total disaster, as one describes to me. And there is a sort of blame game going on there. [...]

"I would say the anger and irritation between a number of the senior people in the McCain camp and Bill Kristol is become really acute.... They view this man as the guy who gave them this albatross, Sarah Palin. I think there's a lot of real anger about it. There's also recognition that it's too late to do anything."

Bonus: They actually listened to Bill Kristol. Who's been wrong on absolutely everything. Now that's mavericky!

Fox Nooze focus group picks Obama

Again.

Meanwhile, virtually the entire Frank Luntz focus group on Fox News, which was staged tonight in Miami, said that Barack Obama won the debate. Luntz termed it a "clear majority," but not one person raised their hand when asked if they thought McCain won.

Said Luntz: "None had made a decision to support Sen. Obama before the debate, but more than half supported him after the debate. It was a good night for Barack Obama."

Wow, even Frank Luntz and Faux News have bought into the Obama campaign’s party line!

McCain fails, Obama is not rattled

Roger Simon at Politico: Pissy McCrankypants needed a miracle. He didn't get one.

Instead, the American public heard angry attacks from McCain.

Sometimes McCain attacked directly, and sometimes he attacked sarcastically, but he never stopped attacking. And he never rattled Obama.

“I admire so much Sen. Obama’s eloquence,” McCain sneered. “Sen. Obama, who has never traveled south of our border.” (This from a man whose running mate got her first passport last year.)

But McCain didn’t just attack, he also defended, including those people who attend his rallies and those of Sarah Palin who have shouted nasty and threatening things when Obama’s name is mentioned.

“Let me say categorically that I am proud of the people who come to my rallies,” McCain said. “I am not going to stand for anybody saying that the people who come to our rallies are anything other than patriotic citizens.”

Obama responded to all this — what else? — coolly.

“I don’t mind being attacked for the next three weeks,” Obama said. “What the American people can’t afford is four more years of failed economic policies.”

For McCain, the biggest impact of the debates was visual: In the first debate he refused to look at Obama, in the second debate McCain appeared to careen around the stage and in this last debate McCain would scribble furiously with his Sharpie as Obama was talking or else smirk in response to what Obama was saying.

Like a petulant, spoiled little brat. Just the qualities we need in a preznit!

McPissy

The consensus from the media and around the web: last night McInsane was creepy, contemptuous, and above all angry.

I know I could hardly bear to watch him, sitting there with that deranged smirk on his face, his eye twitching uncontrollably. This is the guy you want to see in control of the nooculer button? I don't think so. He looked about ready to blow his own fucking cork. I kept expecting him to either stroke out right there or to get up and start running around the stage like a loon.

You know, he would have been right at home in Dr Strangelove, if it was made into a horror film -- mumbling to himself about unrepentent terrists trying to sap his precious bodily fluids. Then putting his gun in his m... well, you get the idea. And last night, he looked crazy enough to do it.

As I've Been Saying.....

McWorse

Friends We Can Believe In

Like the old saying goes, it's not who you know...

Early in 2007, just as her husband launched his presidential bid, Cindy McCain decided to resolve an old problem -- the lack of cellular telephone coverage on her remote 15-acre ranch near Sedona, nestled deep in a tree-lined canyon called Hidden Valley.
By the time Sen. John McCain's presidential bid was in full swing this summer, the ranch had wireless coverage from the two cellular companies most often used by campaign staff -- Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
Verizon delivered a portable tower know as a "cell site on wheels" -- free of charge -- to Cindy McCain's property in June in response to an online request from Cindy McCain's staff early last year. Such devices are usually reserved for restoring service when cell coverage is knocked out during emergencies, such as hurricanes.
In July, AT&T followed suit, wheeling in a portable tower for free to match Verizon's offer.

Just another fine example of the great service that these companies give to everybody, including the Joe "The Plumber" Six Pack family.
Nothing to see here, move along

Vote McCain!!!??!
