Daily Kos Claims McCain Town Hall Meetings A Farce - Proof This Is Just More Propaganda
We all know how silly those at Daily Kos can be. Just yesterday I was emailed this link to an article there titled “McCain’s Town Hall Was A Farce, I Was There“.
To summarize they claim that John McCain’s campaign hand picks those that can ask questions so that he doesn’t get any that are tough to answer or make him look bad. This is blatantly false. Never mind that I’ve seen him answer many direct questions from the public (Pay attention Mr. Obama) and watch the video below. I ask you, if you were hand selecting who would be able to speak, would anyone pick this guy?
More smears from Obama supporters, who would have expected that?
Oh that’s right, Hillary Clinton would.


McCain takes $300,000 from oil-man who tells rape victims to “lie back and enjoy it”.

“Democrats for McCain” What a joke.

GO FIGURE.

Great snark
Not Hillary?? = No Obama! = McCain in 08!
“Not Hillary? = Obama ‘08″
Fixed.
Daily KOs didn’t break this story.
FOX did.
You know, the same channel you all have decided to devote your vaginas to.
You are dishonest.
The town hall you put in the video was NOT the town hall I attended in Pemberton.
As for HIllary Clinton, she’s supporting Barack Obama. I’m sure Hillary Clinton looks forward to getting 95% of the things she believes in signed into law by President Obama over the next 8 years.
as Christina notes, Fox broke the news that the Thursday town hall was a farce,
I broke the news that the Friday town hall was a farce.
So why can’t McCain handle real questions.
1 of the 2 questions I was going to ask was as follows:
Define specifically the criteria for “achieving victory” in Iraq.
My best regards to the Russert family. I liked your father in the media. I can remember a interview he has on “youtube” were he interviewed the founder of the Patriot Act. I really giggled! He will be missed by many around the globe.
FREEWILL DEMOCRAT-Real Independent! I changed affilations from Repub to Dem in AZ in 2001 because of Bush a**. Thank god I prepared for this fiasco happening right now unlike many many others. I knew we would end up this way after dealing with his father in 1990 and the fiasco that followed. Doesn’t anyone remember the real last recession in 1992? The S& L scandal of 1990? Charles Keating and friends. Something really smells funny in this new debate of 2008.. Charles Keating,Deconcini,MCCAIN,Cranston, & Glenn ripped off 15,000 retired El Toro, Ca residents in 1990 of their hard earned life savings of around 300million in Lincoln savings and left them for dead! My grandmother lost somewhere around a few million that my grandpa worked day and night for years for the family to expand. We got robbed on our SAVINGS accounts. Not Investments! It cost the taxpayers 2billion bucks! “If it happened once it can happen again”. My family has had it with the Democrat & the Repubs. They’ve decided to try something differant. We are voting Real Independenr! Whoever you vote for, you are screwed, so we all are voting BOB BARR whether he is running or not!. If he fails too, it will not be any differant than Obama or McCain. And WE can live with just that………………..
So no rebuttal from the liar who tried to smear me?
Was this guy asked a question at the rally in Pemberton? yes or no.
Oh, this is actually the type of person to put in the McCain audience section. He acts as a filibuster to reduce the odds that McCain will get a real question.
Rallies are fine. Town halls are supposed to be places where EVERYBODY discusses issues. Perhaps an hour and 30 questions.
But MCCain’s event in Jersey - 7 questions, less than 15 minutes.
It’s not a town hall. McCain’s record is extreme and he’s afraid of a real town hall.
Hello! web-guy …wow, I just had a boring Friday and then found your - it made me wet already. Even it cant compete with http://www.pornobox.ru which is still my all time cum-favorite!
OK, that was REALLY stupid. He is NOT scared of a real town hall. Maybe he was on a tight schedule? Threre are plenty of town hall where he takes tough questions.
A not-so-public man: the private character of John McCain
Jun. 29, 2008
Abraham Katsman , THE JERUSALEM POST
A JPost.com exclusive blog
It’s pretty amazing when you think about it. War hero John McCain has been in the public eye almost his entire adult life. He’s run numerous campaigns, served in Congress for 25 years, and is in his second run for the presidency.
Yet, there is so much of his life that reveals an absolutely sterling character, but remains largely unknown to the public. And in spite of the tremendous political advantages that publicity could confer, McCain instinctively keeps that information private. Although as a presidential candidate he may be forced to overcome this reticence, he honorably shies away from using his personal heroics for political gain.
How aware is the public that McCain has raised seven children? Or that he adopted his two oldest sons as small boys (children from his wife’s prior marriage)? Or that he has raised a Bangladeshi girl with severe health problems adopted from Mother Theresa’s orphanage? Or that his own sons have served in the military, including in Iraq?
It’s widely known that McCain, a Navy pilot, was shot down, captured and tortured by the North Vietnamese for 5 and a half years - an episode worth a forthcoming column all its own. But few are aware that he refused early release until all the POWs captured before him were freed, and that he refused special treatment offered once it was discovered that he was the “crown prince” (the son of the admiral in charge of the Pacific Fleet) because he wouldn’t provide the enemy with any propaganda victories.
Even fewer seem to know that those years were a fraction of a 22-year Navy career. Although broken and battered, after his release from Vietnamese captivity he went right back to the Navy, where he continued to serve for an additional eight years.
Both Israel and America honor military service, knowing all too well the sacrifice of those who step up, stand guard, and put their lives on the line to protect their fellow citizens from the ever-present threat of harm.
Readers in Israel, where military and national service is intertwined with society perhaps more than in any other free country, especially appreciate the McCain family’s tradition of military service and the intergenerational transmission of values that comes with it.
Anyone can talk about “supporting our troops”; the McCains serve. McCain’s father and grandfather were respected American admirals. Of McCain’s four sons, three have gone the military route. One was a Navy pilot like his father, one enlisted in the Marines at age 17 and recently completed a tour in Iraq, and one is completing his education at the Naval Academy (raising the strong possibility that, for the first time in half a century, the United States will have a president with a son at war).
Yet, likely because of those same values, McCain maintains a strict code of silence about his sons’ military service, no matter how legitimate his pride or politically useful their military status. Through 2007, McCain was the strongest Senate advocate of vastly increasing troop levels in Iraq, strongly influencing the administration’s wildly successful “surge” strategy.
Yet McCain never brought up his own son’s service in some of the roughest areas of Iraq. His principled refusal of political advantage from his son’s Iraq service extends to refusal even to be interviewed on the subject, or to introduce his son to campaign audiences.
Also little-known is the story of McCain’s youngest child. As a result of a 1991 Cindy McCain visit to Mother Teresa’s orphanage in Bangladesh, the McCains adopted an infant daughter dying from a host of health issues. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save the little girl’s life, so the McCains, already the parents of six children, brought the child home to America, and paid for desperately needed surgeries and years of rehabilitation. That child is their teenage daughter Bridget. In fact, there was a second infant girl brought back from the orphanage that the McCains saved. She ended up being adopted by one of McCain’s aides, Wes Gullett, and his wife. “We were called at midnight by Cindy,” Gullett has stated, and “five days later we met our new daughter Nicki at the LA airport.”
This fall, Nicki will be a high school junior. Even after years of expensive medical treatment for the child, Gullett says, “I never saw a hospital bill” for her care. It is an extraordinary man who commits himself to such generous and heroic acts; it is an extraordinary politician who won’t utter a word about such acts for political aggrandizement.
So, it turns out that McCain, standard-bearer of the party constantly slandered as racist, has, without fanfare, raised as his own a Bengali daughter of color. But the character demonstrations regarding his daughter are even more impressive: during his 2000 presidential run, as he was on the verge of becoming the front-runner, rogue staffers of other candidates reportedly conducted a whisper campaign in South Carolina disparaging the McCains for having a “black baby.”
Yet, with every justification to unload with both barrels for such nasty politicking, and with as great an opportunity to set the record straight and tell the world about the heroics of being an adoptive father, McCain chose to shield his child by ignoring the smear. Some analysts believe that move may have ultimately cost him the nomination. But McCain has never questioned his choice. It says a lot about the man that he would readily sacrifice the pinnacle of personal political achievement to protect his family’s feelings and privacy.
The contrast with other politicians couldn’t be more stark. How many candidates have we heard try to score political points as they crow in the public limelight about their own brief military stints, or their wife’s cancer, son’s car accident, or sister’s death from smoking? The contrast is consistent with McCain’s internalizing the codes of honor and military conduct since his youth: the veneration of courage and resilience; the expectation of fidelity to principles of honor; the homage paid to Americans who sacrificed for their country; the nobility of service and sacrifice; the expectation that one would prove worthy of the country’s trust; and the humility that comes from recognizing that there are causes and people greater than oneself. It is, in short, a contrast in character.
Character matters. In a president-and particularly in a commander-in-chief, that kind of character arguably counts more than any particular political orientation or policy. From character flows leadership, as it is character which dictates morally grounded direction and engenders public trust.
Character is critical to determining how a leader will respond to crisis. Will he reach deep within himself and in the traditions that shaped him and find the courage and grace to inspire strength and greatness? Will soldiers trust the wisdom and integrity of his decision when he orders them to war? Will he truly understand the terrible toll of war, as well as the price of appeasement? Will he make decisions based on considerations greater than cheap political expediency?
Now, ask yourself: which candidate has repeatedly demonstrated that kind of character?
Hello, I was looking around for a while searching for Patriot Act and I happened upon this site and your post regarding Daily Kos Claims McCain Town Hall Meetings A Farce - Proof This Is Just More Propaganda, I will definitely this to my Patriot Act bookmarks!
Everyone with a pulse saw the footage of the 60-year old librarian with the “Bush = McCain” teeshirt that they wouldn’t let into the “Town Hall Meeting.” Why wouldn’t they let her in? What’s wrong with equating the Republican nominee to the sitting two-term republican president?
This is what KOS was talking about. The “Town Meetings” are a farce, just as they were with Bush. Bush’s people are running these events for cryin out loud.
Wayne52 has presented a compelling portrait of McCain as a means of demonstrating character. But, “character” is open to interpretation and subjectivity. From McCain’s own written words, one could also learn the following:
- McCain grew up in elite DC circles; his father and grandfather were both powerful Admirals
- McCain was a screw-up in high school (his nickname was “McNasty”), but got into a prestigous military school on a legacy despite bad grades.
-McCain obviously didn’t appreciate the fact that his elite legacy had allowed him to take a possibly more deserving citizen a chance - he finished 894th out of 899.
-In spite of finishing in the bottom 2%, he was given a plum assignment as a fighter pilot usually reserved for the top 5%.
-McCain was involved in and partially had a hand in causing the worst non-combat accident of the war in which 135 crewmen were killed.
-McCain, like almost all prisoners before him, broke under torture and gave a public video announcement that American soldiers were “war criminals.” And by the way, the rule is first in, first out, period. IF McCain would have let them release him early it would gone against military code. This is not to diminish his strength under horrendous conditions, but to point out that he simply did the right thing.
-Upon learning that his faithful wife had been disfigured in a horrible accident, he said “this is not the woman I married,” and began chasing a politically connected heiress who he had an affair with and then divorced his first wife.
-In front of reporters in Arizona during the ’90’s, he referred to his second wife as a c*nt for mentioning his thinning hair.
-He was good friends with Charles Keating and helped him steal about $1 billion dollars from customers and taxpayers.
-He suffers from an extreme, hair-trigger temper that scares even some conservatives who have known him for a long time - some have been openly questioning whether he has the personality to be in the office.
-He evidently assaulted a woman in a wheelchair (who is still bringing civil suit) as she tried to get him to answer questions about MIA’s because he became angry at her.
I know of no candidate in recent history who has worked so diligently with the media to craft a mythology of greatness.
You McCain supporters should be a little careful what you wish for. Are you really sure you want to see Barak Obama standing on a stage next to John McCain? You think that white-hot charisma of McCain is going to burn Barak, eh? You know, McCain is going to have a problem because he can’t just stand there on his box. At some point, he’ll have to shake hands with Obama and I don’t think Obama will go over to his box.
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Daily Kos Claims McCain Town Hall Meetings A Farce - Proof This Is Just More Propaganda, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Daniel, the McCain campaign has hired the same group of political operatives who worked to keep GW Bush’s events scripted and free of dissent. As we all saw last week, they wouldn’t even let a 60-year old librarian stand outside one of their events with a teeshirt that said “McCain = Bush.”
They’re scripted, controlled political theater, not “Town Meetings.” That’s why they’re being called a farce.
Since this discussion is supposed to be about perceived “smears,” here’s what Time Magazine’s Joe Klien wrote about McCain’s statement that Obama would rather lose a war and win an election:
“I can’t remember a more scurrilous statement by a major party candidate. It smacks of desperation. It renews questions about whether McCain has the right temperament for the presidency. How sad …
There is a reason why politicians who want to be President don’t say these sort of things: It isn’t presidential …”
I agree with Klien. As a presidential candidate, you’d have to be a real low-down dirty rat to personally accuse your opponent of sedition or treason. To me, that says a lot about John McCain’s character.
The vast majority of Americans (80% by recent polls) respond to “Bush’s Resignation Speech” (a Bush apologist’s insult-filled satirical fantasy speech in which Bush supposedly quits and then blames us for his need to quit.)
“Great Speech,” if only you’d given it on January 21st, 2001. You seem to believe insulting us is the way to get through to us. Fair enough! We’ll try to get through to you in kind.
In case it blew right past you, 80% of the American people think that what went wrong with this once great country of ours is you and your fellow neo-con/spendthrifts. Oh, this country will be great again, once we’ve scraped the neo-con off our shoes.
And if you think quitting like Nixon can keep you from being impeached, guess again. Congress can impeach and convict you and Olde Two-Face to prevent you both from collecting your pensions (oh, and by the way, to clear the way for court trials) even after you slink from office.
In case you and the numerically challenged in your administration haven’t tallied up the latest polls, we’ve been fed up with you fools for years. Mostly because, while your pitiful party ruled all three branches of government, you neo-con numbskulls fumbled the ball and screwed up the known world, both foreign and domestic.
Let’s start locally, shall we? We know it’s hard for a ‘C’ student , but try to keep up with the numbers. Clinton gave us an unemployment rate of 4%. You’ll be lucky to come in under 6%. The reason it’s not higher? Too many job seekers have given up on “Bush-League-O-nomics”. The Clinton years netted 22 million new jobs. The miserable 5 million under you’re feeble reign don’t even keep up with our population growth. More of the minority increase in home ownership will be in default than will actually own those homes before we finally shove YOU out the door. And don’t start us on all the small businesses that will go bust from your deregulated financial meltdown before we finally kick YOU to the curb.
Oh, and thanks for that “gReAt StOcK MaRkEt”. The Dow’s up all of 9% since the Supremes crowned you “Resident Select” of the Oval Office 8 years ago. If we want a measly 1% a year, we’ll leave our money in the check book. Stocks rose 209% under Clinton. Can you count to 209? (Try taking off your socks.) And while you’re whining about the hard numbers, the reason gas is so high is because you dim-bulbs screwed up the dollar. How? (Pay attention now and sit up straight) BY DRIVING THIS GREAT COUNTRY INTO DEBT DEEPER AND FASTER THAN AT ANY TIME IN OUR HISTORY!
It took 200 years for these United States of America to acquire a $1 trillion debt, and that includes two world wars! In just 12 years of “Reagon/Bush-O-nomics” it Quadrupled! In case you zoned out again, that means Daddy and the Dunderhead drove the debt to $4 trillion! Clinton struggled to get that massive debt under control and finally built up three years of SURPLUSSES! (Which you and Smirky and Tom Delay quickly squandered on your corrupt Party-pals.) It only took 8 years for you and the rest of the mental midgets in the West Wing to drive the national debt to $9.7 trillion. “In other words…” it took Daddy and the Dunderhead 12 years to add $3 trillion to the debt. You only took 8 years to heap on another $4 trillion more. To someone with your mental deficits that may look like progress, but, to the rest of us, counting on your children to pay off your credit card just seems worse than irresponsible. Let’s see if we can dumb this down so you and the rest of the trickle-down bed-wetters can grasp it.
WHIPPING OUT THE CREDIT CARD IS NOT AN ECONOMIC POLICY!
The dollar is just a promise to pay. When other countries see you and your greedy friends have no intension of paying your debts, they drop the dollar like a stinkin’ turd and run to gold. Under Clinton, we could buy an ounce of gold for less than $300. Thanks to your fiscal malfeasance, “Your Denseness,” gold costs over $900 now. For the mathematically challenged among your Treasury Department staff, THAT’S A 3 TO 1 RATIO! Under Clinton, gas was $1.30 a gallon. Thanks to your truly boneheaded fiscal policies, you drooling ape, gas is $3.90 NOW! I’ll give you a minute to try to find two neurons to rub together. No luck? Guess what? THAT’S A 3 TO 1 RATIO! “In other words…” Clinton dollars are worth 3 times what Bush dollars are worth. (”ah know that…”) That’s why gas is 3 times what it was under Clinton! “In other words…” it takes 3 times more Bush dollars to fill the tank! What’s that about supply and demand? Look around, you bleary eyed drunkard. See any ‘70’s style gas lines? (Do you even remember the ‘70’s , or did you take that decade to sleep one off?) No gas lines? That’s because, outside the spectacular world of virtual speculation, there is no shortage of gas! OPEC just wants 3 times more Bush Bucks for the same amount of oil they sold us when Clinton was president. When Clinton left office, oil sold for under $40 a barrel. Today it’s around $120. Is that coke soaked cerebral appendage of yours detecting a pattern here? That’s OK, we’ll wait. Still no luck? THAT’S A 3 TO 1 RATIO! (“ah know that…”) Get it now, Boy George? Debt goes Up, Buck goes down. Buck goes down, Gas goes Up! Oh, now, don’t cry on us! We’ll try to come back to this part of the test after your nap.
But we Americans aren’t the only ones on this planet that you and your ditto-head dim-wits screwed. And the rest of the world knows the biggest thing they have to fear wears a neo-con’s face. We won’t measure out how much blood you’ve spilled. God will open that flood gate come judgment day, and that blood red tsunami will flush you straight to the particular hell you and Bin Laden so richly deserve. That’s not to say you and your oily pals didn’t TRY to trade blood for oil. You just failed miserably at it. (Google “miserable failure” if you’d like official confirmation on that) You and Rummy just thought you all could do it on the cheap; that you could set up that chowder head, Chalibi, as your bobble-head doll; that you could snow Sistani and drag out elections for half a decade while you siphoned off the oil. (once again, Google “miserable failure”)
Instead, the oil now belongs to the Ayatollah Sistani. He’s the one who demanded elections in a year and brought 60% of Iraqis into the streets, forcing you cowards to back off your greedy little “5 year plan”. He’s the one who got his puppet, Maliki, selected Prime Minister. He’s the one who told his rival, Al Sadr, to back off in the first years of the occupation, and has you doing his dirty work to get rid of Sadr now. He’s the one forcing a “time horizon” on you. He’s the one who conned you into kicking the Sunni’s out of the government.
And what a brilliant move that was! You picking sides in Iraq’s civil war! (What? You thought you were back in Skull&Bones, choosing sides for a Nads pick up game?!) Even Daddy wasn’t dumb enough to do that. He gave Saddam just enough leash to neutralize the Shia majority. Why? Do we really need to take your blocks away from you and spell it out? Here’s a hint. Even the Dunderhead propped Saddam up enough to counter Iran in the ‘80‘s. And who is Ayatollah Sistani, the guy who owns the Iraqi Shia heart and soul, who owns Iraqi blood and oil? He’s the guy Saddam tried to off. He’s the guy who fled to his soul mate, the Shia Ayatollah Khomeni. He’s the guy who, along with Maliki, sheltered in Iran’s warm embrace until you neo-con nimrods blundered in and took out Saddam. Now Sistani and Maliki are free to take Iraq and cuddle up with Iran. Why do you think Maliki and Ahmadinejhad spend so much time slobbering all over each other? They’re now the Shia power block! Hold hands with your Saudi Sunni boyfriends and ask them what that means.
Who do you think “won this war?” With Sistani taking Iraq and the oil, and Iran finally rid of Saddam, who do you think won this thing? Ah, now you’re bewildered, ain’t cha? It’s so easy to follow as the simple-minded sound bites play across your pasty face:
- “Saddam was a threat?” To whom? You don’t think the Zionists can fight their own battles? Israel has nukes, for-cryn-out-loud. They stole the technology from us! What? You didn’t get the memo? Why do you think Iran wants nukes too?
- “Saddam had nukes?” Even the numbest of neo-con nut-jobs can’t spew that drivel with a straight face anymore. The only reason a slimy Nad like you was able to con us back in the day was because you had Two-Face Cheney to lie about the intelligence reports. You thought you could transmogrify CIA “best guesses” into Cheney “truths” and hide it all from Congress? Sure, Clinton was suspicious of Saddam , but he wasn’t stupid enough to go to war without Tenet producing real proof! You actually thought you’d get away with it? It’ll make for juicy impeachment proceedings, anyway, you pitiful boob. Are all these little comments on his character bruising little Georgie’s self-esteem? Good! We’re startin’ ta git thru!
- “Al Qaida was Saddam’s friend?” LOL! Hang on! LOL! We’ll stop laughing in a minute! LOL!! Oh, Lordy! Every third grader knows Secular Saddam hated Imam-wanna-Been Laden. Oil and Holy Water! That’s why there was no Al Qaida in Iraq until you blundered in and fired the guys patrolling the boarders. What did you think Saddam was doing with all those helicopters Dunderhead gave him?
- “We need Democracy in the Middle East?” Whatever nattering neo-con came up with that nugget of numbskull-ery should be bronzed and dumped in the Tigris. You know what democracy in Iraq is like? It’s like the woman in full hejab who runs into the polling place on election day and proclaims, “I’m here to VOTE!” Then she looks over to the imam from her mosque who’s the poll watcher and asks, “Who do I vote for?” That’s democracy in Iraq. So who do you suppose in that vast and empty cranium of yours actually wins these “elections?” Oh, come on, not even a guess? Here’s a hint: Ayatollah Sistani owns Iraq, heart and soul, blood and oil.
So let’s talk about “The Surge”. After you blundered into Iraq and Sistani scared you into kicking the Sunnis out of government, the little Sunnis (20% of Iraq) faced the Shia (60% of Iraq) and their big American protectors. What to do?!? The Sunnis needed a big gun too! Now, if you hadn’t been whorin’ around while dodging Nam between the few times you actually showed up on base at the Texas Air National Guard, you may have heard of this salient bit of military wisdom: “The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend.” The Sunnis knew right where to find that enemy. They, too, had been fighting them for years. Unlike you blundering neo-clods, the Sunnis knew how to keep Al Qaida out of Iraq, so they also knew just how to bring them in. The Sunnis let them in with two words, “Sic ‘Em!” Oh, and what a time they had! But it wasn’t all cheers and high fives for the Sunnis as Al Qaida proceeded to pin the Dummy and the Rummy to the wall. Turns out Secular Sunnis and Religious Whack Knobs don’t mix (oil and holy water). Al Qaida was killing as many Sunnis as Americans. So, a year BEFORE “The Surge”, the Sunnis had to start kicking Al Qaida out again. Problem was, they were still in a civil war. The same civil war Saddam had been fighting with the Shia for 30 years! What to do?!? So they approached a certain General P and said, “Had enough? We know how to end your pain and get rid of Al Qaida. All you have to do is give us the same deal you gave the Shia: Big Bucks, Big Guns, and lots and lots of bullets.”
Now, we know why you knuckled to their extortion, and gave them protection to boot. Your cranial capacity only allows for so many cogent thoughts. You couldn’t coax what’s left of your JD pickled brain into thinking of a better way to stop the hemorrhaging. We get that. We just marvel at how even the stupidest twit could have gotten into this mess in the first place. It’s not like you didn’t have options. When Clinton took out Milo-son-of-a-vitch in Bosnia, he bombed the hell out of him. Then he sent the LOCALS in to mop up! You know how many guys we lost in combat? Zippo, Dumbo! What? Too “Clintonesque” a solution? Too “Rhodes Scholar?” Or is it that you and your greedy pals couldn’t get your sticky paws on the oil that way? Now, you may not have wanted Sistani to get the oil, either. But thanks to your brain dead “Democratic Iraq” idea, he owns it all anyway. At least Clinton made some friends in “Olde Europe” along with Muslim friends in and around Bosnia. Who’s your friend in Iraq? Ayatollah Sistani?
The Sunnis got rid of Al Qaida without breaking a sweat. So how do we do it? THINK, child, THINK! OK, watch our lips. “You Lop Off It’s Head!” Without it’s head, Al Qaida is just a few gangs of thugs to be mopped up by Inter-Pol. You bumbling neo-thumbs blew your best shot at Tora Bora, then were less than useless. If Barak doesn’t mind ruffling the feathers of a few Pakistani do-nothings with conflicted loyalties in order to get Bin Laden, we say, “Have at it!”
So, Big Bad Barak got you scared clear down to your trust fund, little man? All he wants is for you neo-crooks and your Skull&Bones financial enablers to reimburse us for the mess you all made, both foreign and domestic. Guess what? You made Barak! Thanks to neo-cons like Wolfowitz and Perle, Kristol and Krauthammer, Feith and the rest whispering in your ear, you spewed out losing policies that have 80% of us ready to vote for anyone who’s not you. Hell, if there were no democrats running at all, we’d rather elect an inanimate carbon rod than another mini-me Bush-alike.
We may not get to frog march you out of the White House, but we can still have you hopping into a paddy wagon in Crawford. If impeaching a guy for lying about consensual sex makes you jolly, you’ll love what we do with the charge of lying your way to war. Why impeach? After all that blood on your hands? Because it’s the only apology God wants from us for not stopping you sooner.
Pardon the length of our response to your whiny speech, but, even with your limited faculties and short attention span, you must know that 80% of 300,000,000 Americans is an awful lot of pent up frustration that must be articulated. We don’t loath you because you’re not the brightest bulb in the chandelier; a ‘C’ student who got to Harvard on Daddy’s influence; whose failing Arbusto business was bailed out by Daddy’s friends at Harken and who bailed out of Harken just in time to leave the stock holders holding the bag; whose inability to speak coherently without a speech writer to craft your sound bites may be the result of genetics or your admitted past abuse of booze and cocaine; or who lost the popular vote by 500,000 Americans before Daddy’s friends on the Supreme Court saved your sorry assets. We just never again want to let another blithering idiot steal the most cherished office in this great land.
Speaking in sympathy with the 80% in this satirical response to the fantasy speech is Gary AndrewS, author of “No Gods Before Me, the First of the Commandment Mysteries.” If he inadvertently failed to fully articulate all of our frustrations, please feel free to add your concerns and pass this along to the other 299,999,999 Americans, both foreign and domestic.
God guard our troops and fly them safely to their loved ones within 16 months from January 20th.
