It Ends Tonight

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Or at least it should but who knows if Clinton is even properly attached to reality anymore. She has been living the last few months in a land of unicorns and rainbows. Funnily enough that land of make believe is right next door to the “permanent war is good” land of make believe that McBush is living in.

This just in: Clinton to ride a candy coated unicorn to deliver a speech tonight where, according to her campaign, she will not concede but she will acknowledge that Obama has enough delegates to win the nomination. I am actually getting quite sick of Clinton moving the goalposts.
I don’t know how Clinton and her rabid supporters can overlook what has been obvious to the rest of the planet: It is over. It has been over for a long time now. Pack up, go home, the game is over.

One thing that you probably won’t hear all that much tonight is that there is a Republican primary in New Mexico too. Pay attention to that one and see what percentage of the vote John W. McBush actually gets. The Republican party is hardly unified behind him. Hell, even just today Cheney was criticizing McBush and his plan to cut the gas tax for the summer.

Obama has been playing this one well. While Clinton still takes shots at him while trying to stay relevant he has started acting like the Democratic nominee. He has been ignoring her and focusing his attacks directly at Old Man Warmonger.

A question I have to any McCain supporters that read this:
Why didn’t McCain support the new G.I. bill? Why didn’t he even bother to show up to vote on it?
As a veteran he should be appalled by the way this administration has treated the troops. Inadequate supplies of body armor, inadequate care when they come home. And that is just the tip of this bloody iceberg. How can you, John McCain, in good conscience say you support our troops when you are not willing to even give them better college benefits when they come home. If they come home.
Our soldiers fight and die every day, every minute of every god damned day for this bullshit war that you want so badly to inherit and you aren’t willing to even help them better their lives when they come home.
The act is, you don’t support our troops. The fact is, you are just using them for your own political gain.
I have two more words for you McCain:
Fuck You.


Pick What to Attack, the Image or the Issues.

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

It is obvious to me the political stance and/or the political record of a candidate should be the core foundation on which arguments, for or against, are made.
Are we in agreement here?

It seems that when you have no issues to attack the image becomes the target.
Take Barack Obama for example. I have not heard or read one single single attack on him that was based on his work in politics. Everything that is slung at this guy from the opposition has to do with things that, in an intelligent debate, would be non-issues.
Things like his name. His full name is Barack Hussein Obama. Some of the mud-slingers have taken to calling him by his full a name and adding emphasis the the Hussein part. Does it really matter? Do they think American people are so stupid that we will think of some other Hussein now? I have even heard it pointed out that Obama sounds like Osama.
Talk about avoiding any real argument.
One blogger even tried to say that an anonymous source inside Hillary Clinton’s camp informed her that they had “dug up” information that Obama went to a Muslim school when he lived in Indonesia. A magazine that is owned and operated by the same company as the Washington Post (Liberal bias my ass) printed almost the same thing a short time later. Again with an anonymous source. The story then made it onto FauxNews.
Again they try to blind us with fear.
A spokesperson for Clinton’s camp denied that this story was true and went on to say it was an “an obvious right-wing hit job.”
The articles made it sound like this school was a training camp for future suicide bombers. The truth?

“This is a public school. We don’t focus on religion,” Hardi Priyono, deputy headmaster of the Basuki school, told CNN Senior International Correspondent John Vause. “In our daily lives, we try to respect religion, but we don’t give preferential treatment.”

Obama in his two books, “Dreams From My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope,” wrote about spending two years in a Muslim school and two years in a Christian school while in Indonesia. One thing that these “news” reports failed to mention was that Obama was in Indonesia between the ages of 6 and 10. Even if it was a school that taught hatred he has had a long time to step away from it. Look at it this way, how many things did you believe in at that age? How many do you still believe?

So where does that leave us?
Right back where we started.
So if you want to form your own opinion on Barack Obama and not let anyone else tell you what you should think you need look no further then the Congresspedia page on him.

Do the world a favor and think for yourself.
