An Obama-McCain General Election Agreement: Neutering The 527s

McCain "Family Recipes" Lifted from the Food Network
No I don't but I don't have some crazy old man screaming, "Look you c*nt! I need these stupid hicks to think you're an all-american housewife and not some stuck up heiress so you better come up with some god damn recipes for my website or I'll knock you're f*cking teeth out.!" at me. posted 04/15/2008 at 17:27:26
No I'm not joking. I don't think the main complaint is that it's plagiarism but rather that she claimed these were "family" recipes. Both things are dishonest at best but nothing compared to the dishonest and deceitful things that her husband has done and said. Who cares what the stepford wife does? Attack McCain for his position on the war, for "Bomb-bomb-bomb bomb-bomb Iran", for his apparent ignorance on economic matters, for his constant misstatements about Iraq/Iran/Al Qaeda, etc. posted 04/15/2008 at 17:21:58
This is a pretty lame attack. I get recipes from the Food Network website all the time. Few people other than professional chefs make up their own recipes. posted 04/15/2008 at 14:52:51

Clinton: Gore And Kerry Lost Because They Were Viewed As Elitist
Neither one is elitist. Do we really need to be doing the Reps work for them labelling our own pols as elitist? posted 04/14/2008 at 14:36:44
I love this comment. It wasn't the Reps that stole the election-it was Bill Clinton. Of course! It makes so much sense. All of us that believe something fishy was going on in FL in 2000 or OH in 2004 are conspiracy theory nuts but Bill Clinton Gore to win makes perfect sense.

Neil Patrick Harris: Keep Britney Off My Show
I think it's great that he came out and still gets to play a character like Barney. It couldn't have happened back when Ellen was doing her sitcom. I'm glad we've progressed beyond the time where people think a gay actor can't be believable playing a straight character. And Barney would probably not be funny anymore if he came out. posted 04/11/2008 at 12:40:39

Perino Gets Testy With Dem Leaders
I like the way Bush was pushing this as a national security issue. How is fast tracking a free trade agreement with Columbia and national security issue? And Perino is being dishonest about the dems wanting to avoid a vote. Bush is trying to avoid any debate on the deal by fast tracking it. The dems will be happy to have an open debate on the trade deal but that's not what the Bushies want. posted 04/10/2008 at 15:01:14

Obama Slams McCain, Iraq Strategy On Today
Obama comes off pretty good here. Frank Rich was right about the 100 years thing but it's an easy stick to grab to beat McCain with. I'm guilty of using it myself even though I knew it wasn't what he said. The interesting thing is how the media have jumped in to defend McCain. Did they jump in to defend Bill Clinton when his words were parsed and twisted? (Some of which Obama repeated.) No. Did they jump in to defend Obama when Sean Hannity started ranting about his not wearing a flag pin? Not that I ever heard. If I remember right they picked up the "story" and ran with it. Good luck to Obama once he secures the Democratic nomination because he isn't just running against McCain. He's running against the MSM. Who was that character in Beowolf? Grendel? If McCain is Grendel then the MSM is Grendel's mom. Lord help anyone who messes with their boy. posted 04/08/2008 at 13:00:09
Hillary Commiserates With Ellen: Chris Matthews "Manhandles Me Every Night"
It was Matthews and his ilk who brought her gender in to it. Is she playing the gender card by complaining about it? I don't think so. For the most part her complaints haven't been about that anyway. They've been about her being subject to more scrutiny than her competitors. I don't think she's saying it's about her gender. posted 04/07/2008 at 18:32:56

McCain: Democrats' Stance on Iraq Flawed
Are the American people stupid enough to fall for this shit again? The surge is not working. Iraq is not approaching normalcy. 2007 was the deadliest year yet for US troops and we continue to hear of new attacks and deaths every day. A swift withdrawal of troops (which BTW neither Clinton nor Obama is advocating) would not make Iraq a terrorist haven. Invading it 5 years ago made it a terrorist haven. The only reason to stay is because we've fucked up the country so much we should try to put it right but nothing we're doing seems to be working. posted 04/07/2008 at 11:34:18

Snoop Dogg: Ku Klux Klan Biggest Obama Supporter
I'm not a big fan of Snoop but this sorta reads like a hatchet job. It's funny though. For all the disdain she seems to have for his misogyny the writer just can't resist asking Snoop how hot she is and (of course) putting it in the article. Yeah she sure hates being objectified. That's why she made sure everyone knows she'd be in the "$4000 range". It's a bit sad really. posted 04/04/2008 at 14:08:19

Reuters: "Somebody Forgot To Tell Hillary Clinton The Democratic Presidential Race Is Over And Barack Obama Won"
You're right. That's one of the dumbest things any candidate has ever done. Still not sure it's evil or that she wants to destroy Obama but she shouldn't have said it. posted 03/27/2008 at 18:17:07
I think it's about time for Hillary to bow out too but the fact that she hasn't doesn't make her evil, selfish, or any of the other things she's being called. This is a very close race. It's unlikely she could win but if there's was still a possibility I'm not sure I would back out. posted 03/27/2008 at 17:55:18

Bill Clinton To Obama Campaign: "Let's Just Saddle Up And Have An Argument"
Read the whole thing and you'll see that Bill is actually saying stop whining about being attacked. That's part of the game. Take the focus off which candidate has been personally maligned by the other and put it back on the issues so the voters can decide who is the best person to lead the country.
Now it does seem a little ironic that Bill is accusing Obama of whining when his wife has repeatedly complained about how she has been treated in the campaign. But I think her complaints have been mostly about her treatment by the press. (I'm just going from memory on that so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
Of course it's possible that he's not talking to Obama at all but rather to the press corp who keep distracting the voters with thier "he said/she said" type of reporting. posted 03/26/2008 at 16:38:39

Breaking: Condi Rice Flirts With VP Possibility -- Speaks to Grover Norquist's Wednesday Group Meeting
The conclusion that she's seeking the VP slot just because she met with Norquist seems like a stretch but it could be. There are pluses and minuses for McCain if he chooses her. To us on the liberal side she has a LOT of baggage but she has been treated pretty kindly by the MSM and the average voter may not recognize her culpability for getting us in to Iraq. Being a female and an African American might help bring in some votes (especially in the unlikely event that Obama is not the Dem nominee) but it could drive some of the conservative base away too. McCain will likely chose a social conservative who can bring in the evangelical vote. posted 03/26/2008 at 11:43:17

Why I Am Grateful that Rush Limbaugh Attacked Me Today
Who exactly is proposing a "percipitous withdrawal from Iraq"? The only presidential candidate I can ever remember calling for such a thing is Dennis Kucinich and that was in 2004. But that's really beside the point. How could bringing our troops home or redeploying them to other troubled areas make us less safe? Al Qaeda is not concentrated in Iraq. It's not like we are containing the terrorist threat by keeping them busy in Iraq. We are less secure with such a concentration of our troops in Iraq and particularly with so many of our National Guard troops deployed there. If we are really worried about another attack on US soil why did we send our National Guard to Iraq? posted 03/27/2008 at 12:08:17
