Bailout Failure Puts McCain At A Political Dead End

***Scroll down or link here for the Electoral Vote Predictor and map***

AP Reported this morning on the damage the failed bailout bill has done to John McCain's campaign:

Republican John McCain has maneuvered himself into a political dead end and has five weeks to find his way out.

Last Wednesday, McCain suspended his presidential campaign to insert himself into a $700 billion effort to rescue America's crumbling financial structure. In so doing, he tied himself far more tightly to the bill than did his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama.

You can't believe these things. Republicans will try anything to win. Watch for Rev. Wright's sermon video, Hillary's 3am ad and Hillary's 0sama bin ladin ad that she put out right before the Texas and Ohio primaries. That might just seal the deal for low information voters like folks in Ohio and senior citizens in PA and FL.

[GrouchoMarxist]

It didn't work when Hillary tried it, what on Earth makes you think it would work now?

[exeye]

It won't, but they will probably try it.

When you're drowning, you'll hang on to a 6 foot bowel movement to stay afloat.

Huckleberry pulled out Rev Wright's greatest hits when he welcomed Bitsy to his new Faux Noise show last weekend.

[collima]

Come ON - Please tell me (Seriously) what is there to be concerned about? I understand the DERIVATIVES / CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS MARKET is about to fall apart to the tune of 1 quadrillion dollars... and the government is scrambling like a chicken with its head cut off. Other than that..... Since not many seem to be thinking about that nightmare, I guess things are just swell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nice job by the Federal reserve in injecting $600 billion dollars into the financial markets last night to help Wall Street after that mess yesterday.... Oh, Nobody Noticed! Bernake doesn't need Congressional approval for the $ 2 trillion that he has poured into banks via the back door.

The bush administration is totally ridiculous!

TAKE THE RED PILL! Do a search on DERIVATIVES / CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS MARKET COLLAPSE

[pie8ter]

Do you seriously think that Joe Sixpacks in OHIO's rural area - which is 95% of the state - know what a DERIVATIVES / CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS MARKET is? As long as they go to their job, get a paycheck at the end of the day and don't pay $10 for a gallon of milk, they don't care a bit. Those low information voters will gladly pull the lever for Mcdumb and the republicans because they've told that they are culturally superior and Jesus loves them. .

[Actionmac]

rush has been working on that and running out of material... people all they have are lies and they have lied so many times and been caught, only their base is listening.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

Gone...

Happy Day!!!

I wish VB was here to enjoy this.

[suzyhein]

wtf????? so much purging. you do realize farmington and junecleaversbeaver are gone too!

[MNmommy]

Am I still here? I know I'm a trouble maker.

;)

[GerryS]

farmington was here today! I read the posts----

[jgalvan]

really?

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

I knew June was gone. I noticed that the other night. Very upsetting.

June had the best comments I've ever seen, when she stayed in character.

[ThunderclapNewman]

I wonder why.

June was a longtime member of the community.
She and Ward used to have such lovely dinner parties.

[GrouchoMarxist]

He sure would enjoy it, for sure.

[Rumplestiltskin]

But would he enjoy it as much as an interesting online poll question?

[NochlessMonster]

Don't jump up and down to much... it will be back......

[ThunderclapNewman]

He's around.

[myangeldog1]

What happened to GaBu?

[Freedomscap]

I miss VB -- his humor and his pictures with the narrative along with. He is so funny.

[Caligirl916]

Here's a look at FOX News poll conducted in Scranton..courtsey Dailykos. Enjoy!

[lukebenward]

Last Friday, Fox News had a poll asking who won the debate, Obama or McCain. What's nucking futs is the fact they started this "text now" 3 minutes into the start of the debate.

[Grunty1]

Pretty smart of them actually. They must have known that it was the only way for McCain to come up on top :-)

[goodtomeetyou]

That was wild.

Nearly unanimous vote for Obama = "split" on FOX

[GrouchoMarxist]

Do they think that their audience is so block stupid that they won't notice?

[SanityNowPlease]

I loved the woman at the back who held her husband's arm down when the room was asked who would be voting for McCain and then she held up both her arms when the room was asked who would vote for Obama. Also funny to note almost the entire room raised their arms for Obama and yet the reporter labeled it a split. Faux math.

[Actionmac]

Were the people laughing in the back when he called it split... to funny they ALL lie no matter if you see them stealing or not.

Parallel Universe

[kdublya]

Order has been restored to the cosmos.

Lou Dobbs just bashed the "Liberal Media" for picking on McMoose's gaffes and less so on Biden.
...As though Biden and Palin have comparable resumes.

Keep your righteous igdignation focused on the economy, Lou.
On everything else you're a complete d0uche.

[kdublya]

indignation

[GrouchoMarxist]

Lou is a couple tacos short of a combo platter.

[kdublya]

Lou and I have an understanding,

I yell at the teevee screen and he has to sit there and take it.

[iyamchazz]

Forget about Lou... he's kind of busy being Commander in Chief of the Mexican border.

[Freedomscap]

You guys got rid of many of the tro-lls. I promise I'm not one, although I've been accused of such.

[Rumplestiltskin]

First they came for B.J, and I didn't object,
Next they came for Boob.Baiter and I said nothing,
Then they came for me.
(with apologies)

[themoviepi1984]

thanks old white men! everybody 30 and younger is going to have to deal with baby boomers lies and multi-layered planetary mess. completely lack of soul on humans, take away their spirit and discernment all it takes is two generations to set whatever agenda a government wants.

for these baby boomer demons hopefully they can continue to eat their GMO foods and the pollution is still in their yuppie fake toxic homes.. they will disease faster so the aware planet loving people can save us from this chemtrail land.

[Coinyer101]

ooooooook?

[Freedum4all]

roflmao i can't believe fix news has dennis kucinich on lol!!

and there not even cutting him off !!

[CheshireCat2]

He has been on FOX a lot. They have been quite kind to him. It is not Sheps' policy to cut people off.

[GrouchoMarxist]

I thought you said you only watch PBS.

L.I.A.R.

[HypnoToad]

Groucho, I know you knew that the cat was.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Gov. Palin told enough another l i e.


NORAD: "To be very clear, there has not been any incursion in U.S. airspace in recent years."


Russia doesn't fly into US airspace. Palin lies for no reason.

[SurferKit]

But Santa does.

Maybe she's just confused.

No wait, she's just dumberthanarock. Sorry!

[GrouchoMarxist]

She's so full of crap she doesn't even know when she's lying any more.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

How did you get crap through the word filter?

[ThunderclapNewman]

She's craptacular!

[Coinyer101]

it makes er horny

[exeye]

Well, in her defence, SHE hasn't seen any in the binoculars she uses to study Russia, and gain International expertise.

[MNmommy]

Do you think she could point to the right *area* of Russia that represents Moscow?

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Nope. I am sure baby Trig could though.

[GrouchoMarxist]

Question for our tr0lls:

After the bailout bill, are there other things that never happened that McCain is going to take credit for? Like, say, the Patriot's perfect 19-0 season ?

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

Only for things that haven't eventuated yet.

[HypnoToad]

LMAO

[NochlessMonster]

Hey... good strategy for MI... He can take credit for the Wings wining the Cup....

[GrouchoMarxist]

LOL! Detroit would love him.

[Rumplestiltskin]

I think the Democrats in Congress are responsible for that one. They passed a law requiring it.

[Coinyer101]

i guess it stands to reason that a feller with a IQ of 80 pick a vp with a IQ of 70.
i think they thought they could get away with it ,after the guy with IQ 30 got elected twice.

[CheshireCat2]

Kucinich didn't buy into the failout plan either.

[WLA]

Dennis rocks.

[Freedomscap]

As a liberal, I like Kucinich.

[GrouchoMarxist]

Heh. I saw the story about the witness earlier. It's a whole different ballgame when they get them under oath.

[larmarch5]

Her only political issue is anti-abortion. She supports "the troops" because her son is in Afghanistan (I think, might be Iraq), not sure she supports the war in her heart of hearts. Fortunately she doesn't talk politics on her show and she mostly gives sensible advice on her show. She's a student of Albert Ellis' no-nonsense take responsibility for your choices philosophy.

[themoviepi1984]

well ... to all loving and aware people of the usa it's over! just many are braindead on GMO foods and controlled for generations with fear, but the new world order media and all the clueless hateful yuppies and ignorant rednecks they are like headless horseman in "Lord of the Rings" never stop their aimless ranting until they have destroyed all around them.

wake up! go local, be aware, stop supporting GMO monsanto.

[WLA]

Do you just post this every two hours or what?

[InformedVoter08]

what the heck are you talking about?

[ThunderclapNewman]

Apparently, he has no idea.

[Coinyer101]

'rednecks for obama' aren't ignorant. ev1 of us gradiated at least the 6th graid.

[justsomeguywhocameby]

Hey, I agree with stop Monsanto! That is what you mean isn't it? The rest I'm having a little more trouble with the rest.

[SaviourMachine]

The Alaskan Yorkie should fetch McSuperHeroParExcellence his cape from the dry cleaners.

If that doesn't work,I'm sure she of the great rugged wilderness could man a forklift to get him out of the corner he's in.
