That video was strangely soothing.  I get the irony, but still...I'm soothed.  I feel better now.  I don't know why.  Am I a closet Republican?

Convinced me, I'm voting the for the best of three "sub-prime" candidates.  [McCain}

NEOCONGUY reminds me of a joke I once heard.  What is the difference between a liberal, an old-line conservative and a neocon?

A liberal says: I'm right.  I truly feel that there are some errors in your position, lets talk about them over a latte.

An old-line conservative says: I'm right. You're wrong. Sit down, pop a bud, and let me set you straight.

A neocon says: I'm right. You're a traitor, and I've already given your name to Homeland Security.

So a Neocon is a Neonazi?

Dang it, I don't feel soothed anymore.  Thanks a lot, gopherbro.

" AND OUT TO SLIME BAGS BACK IN YOUR PLACE! " i am concerned about what this means exactly~ well not really,but it does sound so very "Christian"...not.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose
 Hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
 Conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama
 And his bid to be our President.
 
 The old rancher said,
 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'.'
 
 Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him whats a 'post
 Turtle was. The old rancher said,
 'When you're driving down a country road and you
 Come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post
 Turtle.'
 
 The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued
 To explain.
 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there,
 He doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder
 What kind of a ding a ling put him up there to begin with.'

The scary part is that most of the people above probably really believe most of it what is said had some validity to it....

I like chocolate covered cup cakes maybe that part was right. Republican do have a sweet tooth...

No, not the first viral by far.  Remember "Obama Girl"?  And this delight touting the McShrub Hundred Years' War:

Obama girls, and McCain's comments about his proposed 100 year commitment to occupy Iraq was all presented during the primaries.  Last Saturday, the general election campaign began when HRC endorsed Obama, making him the Democrat Presumptive nominee.

But maybe McCain's video yesterday, when he declared that, bringing home the troops home really isn't important, on the Today Show yesterday, will be remembered as the first real  viral video of this new campaing season..

Anheuser-Busch to become a Belgium company...

ST. LOUIS — Belgian Brewer InBev is offering a big payday to shareholders of Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., but its bid to create the world's largest beer company is already facing a major obstacle _ U.S. election-year politics.

InBev SA, whose brands include Beck's and Stella Artois, delivered an unsolicited all-cash bid of $65 a share for Anheuser-Busch, which makes Budweiser, Michelob and Bud Light. That's well above the St. Louis-based company's closing share price of $58.35 Wednesday.

But politicians and activists are already lining up against the deal, saying it could cost jobs in the United States and send ownership of an iconic American company overseas. With economic concerns at the front of voters' minds, the opposition could cause a headache for InBev.

http://www.huffingtonpost.c...

Republican Gov. Matt Blunt said Wednesday he opposes the deal, and directed the Missouri Department of Economic Development to see if there was a way to stop it.

"I am strongly opposed to the sale of Anheuser-Busch, and today's offer to purchase the company is deeply troubling to me," Blunt said in a statement.

Web sites have sprung up opposing the deal on patriotic grounds, arguing that such an iconic U.S. firm shouldn't be handed over to foreign ownership. One of the sites, called SaveAB.com, was launched by Blunt's former chief of staff, Ed Martin.

"Shareholders should resist choosing dollars over American jobs," Martin said in a statement Wednesday night. "Selling out to the Belgians is not worth it _ because this is about more than beer: it's about our jobs and our nation."

GOP,New Gang of 14 won’t back McCain

At least 14 Republican members of Congress have refused to endorse or publicly support Sen. John McCain for president, and more than a dozen others declined to answer whether they back the Arizona senator.
 

Many of the recalcitrant GOP members declined to detail their reasons for withholding support, but Rep. John Peterson (R-Pa.) expressed major concerns about McCain’s energy policies and Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) cited the Iraq war.

Iraq says no to US troops staying..Iraqi lawmakers reject security draft pact

BAGHDAD - New U.S. proposals have failed to overcome Iraqi opposition to a proposed security pact, two lawmakers said Thursday, and a senior government official expressed doubt an agreement could be reached before the U.S. presidential election in November.

The security agreement would provide a legal basis for the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq after the U.N. mandate expires at the end of this year. Failure to strike a deal would leave the future of the American military presence here to the next administration.

U.S. negotiators offered new proposals this week after Iraqi lawmakers expressed outrage over the direction of the negotiations, claiming that accepting the U.S. position would cement American military, political and economic domination of this country.

Iman al-Asadi, a Shiite member of the parliamentary committee on legal affairs, said the latest American version "wasn't satisfactory to say the least."

Al-Asadi refused to release further details or talk about how many bases the United States wanted access to under the agreement. She said the Americans were now avoiding talk of numbers of bases but were asking for an "American presence" until Iraqi security forces were deemed ready to take over from U.S.-led forces.

She said the agreement included no timetable for drawing down American forces and "this is a scandal."

Meanwhile, al-Maliki met Thursday with Jordan's King Abdullah II during a one-day visit to Amman. The two leaders discussed resuming oil exports to Jordan and ways to prevent Islamic militants from joining the insurgency in Iraq.

Sunni Muslim Jordan has been critical of al-Maliki's Shiite-dominated government, which Arabs accuse of leaning toward Iran. Jordan believes that hard-line Tehran leaders want to spread Shiite influence across the largely Sunni Arab world. Al-Maliki visited Iran last weekend.
