LOL! Great post. I LOVE the last paragraph.

Nice post moto.  Accurate to boot.  You know the three will be here soon.

moto: "The man on their most wanted list for the last seven plus years is suddenly just another guy..I love it!"

Funny, most people would be upset that Osama bin-Laden hasn't been caught yet, but whatever...... it's your blog.

Let's see.  You guys didn't  like the Rasmussen poll before so how about this one.

Did it say almost dead even?  Imagine that!

They don't like Gallup polls either, Nancy. Anything short of an egg-sucking-dog liberal poll is "right-wing biased." 

Well heck JBS,  I guess I'll have to find one of those.  I wonder if there IS a poll that puts Obama way out in front.  Juz trying to be helpful.

You can spin your version of the past seven plus years to your heart's content, but this Administration has set a new bar for how low any Administration can go. Ants can't limbo underneath the Bush bar it is set so low. No job and wage recovery after the first recession, but a lot of blame that it started under Clinton. All lies all the time about Iraq and the threat it posed to us and the rest of the Middle East to get the war ramped up against a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11 but everything to do with reclaiming oil rights for the industry cartel.  Stop Habeas Corpus and throw away privacy while torturing prisoners of war. Just call them by another name and apply some Lewis Carroll inspired logic to frighten enough people while rolling them over on every fake threat is the Bush playbook. Now that we have the FBI proclaiming they have uncovered the mysterious anthrax lunatic we discover that he is just another home grown nut case like Timothy McVeigh, or a convenient cutout with mental issues that this caper can be pinned on. But the perpetrator is certainly not a citizen from Iraq, which your fearless leader and his sycophant presumptive nominee for the Republican Party this year trumpeted all those many years ago when the crime was fresh and the Iraq war had not started.

Does the year 1964 mean anything to you? 2008 will make 1964 seem like a Republican renaissance.

Everything in your first paragraph pertains to Bush. Bush is not running. Believe it or not, Americans actually know that.

In 1964, the sitting president was running. LBJ was very experienced; Obama is not. But the one major difference: LBJ was not black. That, and that alone, will cost Obama the election. It has started already. People will tell the pre-election pollsters that they're going to vote for Obama, go into the booth on election day and vote for Mr. Whitefolks, then come out and tell the exit pollsters that they voted for Obama. It happened in the 1982 California gubernatorial election, and, comparably, in Ohio on election day 2004.

You can say that "2008 will make 1964 seem like a Republican renaissance." I can say that "I will knock out Oscar De La Hoya." Saying it doesn't make it so.

If I were OB's campaign chief I would tell him to stay out of the limelight and shut up.  The more he is seen the more people with any brains see he really is a nobody that offers nothing.  McCain is not my first choice but now he is my only choice.

Everyone already knows all there is to know about McCain. Wait until they start dropping the "backdoor" bombs on Obama; October will be here soon enough.

Black hecklers, angry that Obama has spent too much time on national issues and not enough time on "black issues."

Everyone already knows all there is to know about McCain.

When's the last time the right-wing-leaning media mentioned the Keating Five?   That he made propaganda broadcasts from North Vietnam?   Did you ever learn from the media that McBush graduated in the bottom one-percent from a trade-school college?

The average American knows next-to-nothing about McBush, and they media likes it that way. 

But they know everything they need to know about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, don't they? 

"Shiny objects."

McCain was cleared of all impropriety in the Keating Five investigation. He was criticized for "poor judgment." Sounds a lot like Bill Clinton.

It's mind boggling to me that anyone still thinks Bush is remotely all that and a bag of chips,

What exactly has he done to warrant any kind of respect?

Was it turning a record surplus into record debt?

Was it the price of oil quadrupling under his regime?

Was it because he couldn't catch the guy who perpetrated 911, so any old arab despot would do?

Was it because he lied about WMDs and we all bought it?

Was it because he declared Mission Accomplished 4,000 dead and 35,000 maimed soldiers ago?

Is it because the surge has had some effect, long after the dems said their weren't enough soldiers there to begin with?

Was it trying to get all his cronies in positions of power like horse trainers running FEMA or his personal lawyer on as a Supreme Court Justice?

Was it appointing an Attorney General that couldn't successfully prosecute Charles Manson if Charlie represented himself?

Was it the fact that he ran all the Generals who disagreed with him out of the military?

Was it losing 95% of his Cabinet over the last 8 years due to disgust or not following the decider's plan?

Was it his response to the Katrina tragedy?

Was it the real estate debacle?

Is it the fact that the guy carrying the nuclear football can't pronounce nuclear?

And  why are you blaming tree huggers for Exxon's record 13 billion dollar surplus?

Why is it the environmentalists fault that oil is 125 bucks a barrel?

And finally......who wants to bet me that Obama won't win the election?

I don't have anything against McCain, but I don't think he'll win. 

He's too tied to Bush's administration.  And then there's that sad immigration policy he jointly ratcheted up with Ted Kennedy.  Not good.

McCain -"And then there's that sad immigration policy he jointly ratcheted up with Ted Kennedy.  Not good."

Lord knows we don't want to have to provide those starving immigrants with 5 minute breaks AND with shade and ANDwater!!????

The very thought of paying them min. wage, providing temporary shelter and paying for workers comp., HELL NO. 

McKennedy.

What has working conditions and pay got to do with immigration reform?    

Nothing Audrey, nothing at all.  forgive me, the status of the  working conditions of the men and women who harvest your salad (as legal social security, tax-paying temporay legal citizenship) won't be involved in the imagration issue.

And the women and men who make up are militaray are gonna be liberator's in a short battle for Iraq, and our oil companies will harvest and conrol the sale of Iraq's oil, and the world will be sleep better.  -Amen

I can hardly keep up with your allegories.  First it's immigrants and then it's Iraq.  How are the two connected?

You say anything you want to, who are you to 'piss" anyone off, lol, lol, lol after what your sorry a** repuplican governor did to all state employees this week i seriously doubt that you could buy a state workers republican vote in November muchless the rightchess votes O'Bama will get to take trhe state not to mention the nation....take it to them brutrha.....O'Bama rocks!

What the [bleep] is "rightchess"? Is that a new board game?

Rightchess can only be played by conservatives John, and no Pawns are allowed.

Leftchess is where you put you hand during the National Anthem.

McCain was cleared of all impropriety in the Keating Five investigation. He was criticized for "poor judgment."

McBush was demonstrably guilty of exactly what Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska is being prosecuted for in his seven felony indictments.  That he essentially copped a plea and his fellow Senators let him off the hook does not change that.

Audrey: "He's too tied to Bush's administration.  And then there's that sad immigration policy he jointly ratcheted up with Ted Kennedy.  Not good."
 

Yea, but he opposes it now, so it's alright......

In some circles Matt that would be considered a flip flop.

McBush is what those in the electronics business call a "bistable multivibrator."  (And no, that's not as dirty as it sounds.)  He's a flip-flop circuit that's comfortable in either position, and can be changed to the opposite at a moment's notice.

Ahhhhh...Nothing like stirring up a nice brew of leftist spin! It's as predictible as the distraction of shiny objects to the national stage left group! Speaking od shiny objects, I wasn't at all surprised to how many popped up in the comments to my post! Does anyone even remember what the post was about to begin with? 

The Governator is republican in name only. Had Gray Davis been a Republican, Arnie would have registered Democrat. He knoew nobody was going to vote for a Democrat after the Davis debacle. Anyone who can look at Arnies positions and still believe he represents conservatism doesn't know much about conservatism OR liberalism!

OOPS! NOW look who's checking out shiny objects! I return the floor to the more experienced geniuses(is that a word?)

Yes, geniuses is a word.

That he essentially copped a plea and his fellow Senators let him off the hook does not change that.

Not to the left, it doesn't. To the rest of the country, a seventeen-year-old investigation for which McCain was cleared means absolutely nothing. The average American wouldn't know Ted Stevens from Ted Turner, but they would probably express surprise that Alaska is still one of the fifty states.

geniuses is but knoew is not!!!!! where is your spell check!

Speaking of bright shiny objects, I'm still waiting for that list of Bush accomplishments.

Where's YOUR spell check?

You say anything you want to, who are you to 'piss" anyone off, lol, lol, lol after what your sorry a** repuplican governor did to all state employees this week i seriously doubt that you could buy a state workers republican vote in November muchless the rightchess votes O'Bama will get to take trhe state not to mention the nation....take it to them brutrha.....O'Bama rocks!
