Where do America go from here?

Well after a week of BS where we have seen a staged (at the cost of real people) crisis for the hopes of McCain scoring brownie points, how do we as Americans feel towards what we do next?

Do we once again cringe with fear of being attacked? I'd say yes if we let that warmonger McCain get into the white house. Do we really want someone postulating about how they will keep us safe while keeping us poor (of course for the benefit of all their big business friends and lobbyist)? We would spend countless months of going from yellow to orange alerts (even though there would be no evidence for the alert warnings). As soon as a country that McCain has a pet peeve against (Russia, Iran, and any other country he hates) we would be confronted with going to war.

He would be the perfect puppet that the neocons could hope for (after Bush of course). No avoiding he would stop immigration into this country by any means. Picking and choosing the races he felt should not participant in the great American dream (which is dumb since we are a melting pot). I am not talking about screening terrorist. This can be proven by looking at the "No Fly List" or the spying by the telecoms companies. He sole purpose is to keep us in a state of fear (not because we live in a world that is out to get us, but because fear is a good control lever.

We have spent the last 8 years with a president committing every crime that a person could commit and get away with it (thank god he wasn't black, because the screaming and the prosecution would be on).

When do we, as Americans wake up to WTF! Every presidential campaign it is always boiled down to some religious objective. Why? This is a nation of various religions so religion should never be an issue. I'm talking about same sex marriages, Christianity, birth control, etc. People should be able to practice their belief without encroaching on others belief. Yes, I mean those that believe in no abortions make that a point that they live by and leave those that do not believe in that point of view alone. If it is not a person of your faith, my question is simply, why are you bothering them? This whole religious aspect is similar of the Salem witch hunt. If a person was different just kill them, no questions asked. What the hell did we make laws for if someone is committing an unspeakable act? Instead of law we let the religious take care of it? Hell no. So we need to stop making our every election based off of what an individual believe religiously.

But none the less every 4 years we have election with the duty and responsibility to make the decision of picking some one that is the lesser of two evils and hoping all ends well. Will for once in our lives we have a chance to pick a winner and not the lesser of two evils. Irregardless of the sickos that pretend they go under the title of right, extreme right or right winger (which they are not) to finally get a president that wants to put us first? Why do we let people shay us with what we know is not the truth to justify being torn in our position of what is right? Do anyone think McCain is the anti-Christ? No. We may think a many other things about him, but it is not pure evil. Yet, just because a sicko calls Obama one I should believe it? I'm so stupid now that the neocons can tell me how to think?

I face the fact that a racist will continue to be one and will rather see all us go to hell then make this world a better place (just like the neocons). But the bulk of us can not be so childish. We are all seeing hardship and we all know why. The last puppet in the white house we easily became aware of how ignorant he was and how the only conclusion we could come to is that he was just a tool for a shadow government. Why would any sane person give that shadow government another chance by voting McCain into the white house?

McCain has desperately wanted to president for too many years. Now that he is old he is a prime target for being used. He and his campaign barely are on the same page, he has let his new campaign manager morph him to the person that he hated in the year 2000 and 2004, he no longer has any integrity, or honor.

When I hear McCain I like him, personally, but like a grandfather; however, I would not put him in charge of my life, finances, personal problems (that could lead to war) or my children. I would let him visit and we would all go out and I would probably be in charged of the finances. No McCain is a nice old man, but the problem is he is falling for his own delusions of ruling the free world (not for me and you, but just like another trophy wife -- sorry Cindy, it is what it is).

Recap 08/15/08

I've decided to start a weekly recap on Friday nights.

This week we've heard McCain get loud and strong on the first day of the situation of Georgia. We've also listen to McCain commit gaffes (as usual -- "We are all Georgians" and "In the 21 Century nations should not invade nations"). We've heard how by day two McCain toned his rhetoric down by a notch and by day three he was sending emissaries to the nation of Georgia to appease the American's minds. At the same time President Bush made two non-effectual speeches and then promptly went on vacation to give McCain his time to shine.

We also noted that while McCain was acting presumptuous nobody was listening and thought he had lost his mind. Even though McCain acted like his bags were already on their way to the white house we all had to say not so fast, it takes us for you to shine.

Mean time Obama is still enjoying his vacation but putting out wicked ads to knock McCain's BS down. Obama also managed to have gotten the most money from Wall Street (employees) and the Military. Obama also managed to get the most votes from the religious sector.

Talking about Obama's ads it must be pointed out that they awesome an the equivalent of 1-2-3 knock outs. He exposed McCain's fraud all over the place and the DNC, and Union helped too. They exposed McCain's DHL deal (even through factcheck want to call it a partial truth, 30 seconds do not give you time to write a thesis), his millions, his lobbyist connection, his lies and his bogus character (without getting nasty like McCain).

We also got to listen to the talking heads (minus the Keith Olbermann show, sometimes MSNBC and ABC's J. Trapper) try to tie Obama up with who came out swinging against Russia-Georgia situation with McCain winning (shocking). This is the usual pattern for every week. The cable news have nothing but negative things to say about Obama 2 to 1 when it comes to McCain.

We saw Hillary names and the RNC tried to make us feel pain pretending that their was friction where none existed. We also heard the dumb PUMA's and Hillary sickos fight a dumb cause.

Truth be known even when McCain is given the stage he still can't make it work. All America got see was someone who's age is showing and a young man, even on vacation, makes our hearts swell with hope.

Finally, since the republicans are happy to pick a vice president that is ready to take over since they feel McCain will die while being president, who do you thing will be the choice for these conservatives and neocons.? Leave a comments and let's discuss. (F**ked as that is, it's true.)

Peace out.

I will add some facts and videos tomorrow.

Choice?

I've been somewhat avoiding this issue because I've had so many other issues that the republican party was perpetrating that consumed my time and this particular issue just got left behind. I want to talk about WOMENS Issues. I visited this site that was called "Women For John McCain." That site was either satire in it's highest form or it was staffed by some of the most deluded women I have never encountered.

From time to time I have gone back to this site, still trying to figure out if it is for real, real. Well today I got my answer. When I noted their new petition:

I was appalled until I read the fine print on the bottom and found out what they were really asking women to sign:

In the Senate and House, the “Abortion on Demand” Act will overturn the ban on partial birth abortion and go further than Roe v. Wade to enshrine abortion on demand into law. Introduced as the innocent sounding Freedom of Choice Act, this act would:

1. Overturn the ban on the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure
2. Overturn laws that restrict taxpayer funding of abortions.
3. Nullify all pro-life laws on the federal and state level.
4. Force doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other health-care providers to perform and pay for abortions – even if they are morally opposed to abortion.
5. Insist that insurance companies pay for abortions

And what further cemented the deal for me was when I tried to capture a few pictures from the site and this is all I got, over and over again:


It is now confirmed to me that the site is extreme satire and these people go way over the top. A sample of their tactics is as follows:

“It will fall to the next president to nominate hundreds of qualified men and women to the federal courts, and the choices we make will reach far into the future.” - John McCain

John McCain has worked closely with the national press to gain his “maverick” reputation - and that’s why women are choosing John McCain! On the complicated issues of womens’ rights and reproductive choices, we need a strong man with years, and years, and years of experience in the halls of Washington to think and speak for us - and that man is John McCain. With John’s record on choice, he’s uniquely qualified to make our most personal, private choices for us as President.

“I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned.” (all emphasis is added from the article)

But the jokes do not stop there. I clicked on one of the topics called Betty Cracker and this is what I got:

The REAL Presumptuous Nominee

Remember how your so-called liberal media snickered at Obama for coming up with a faux presidential seal and presuming to speak to foreigners and meet with heads of state in Europe? Just who the hell does that guy think he is, anyway?

Meanwhile, McCain is pulling an Alexander Haig-like power-grab in the middle of an international crisis, and no one seems to notice. Yesterday McCain bragged to a campaign crowd about expressing solidarity during his daily conversations with Georgian President Saakashvili, who replied:

“Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.”

The real presumptuous nominee is not only inserting himself into the Russia – Georgia conflict: He’s dispatching twin butt-gerbils Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman to that country as a delegation. WTF? Perhaps they’ll be accompanied by McCain’s foreign policy advisor / Georgia lobbyist Randy Scheunemann, who was paid big bucks to lobby McCain on behalf of the Georgian government before the campaign got underway. Client relations, you know.

Here’s another interesting tidbit via the Talking Points Memo:

President Saakashvili today told Georgians that the US military was moving in to take over control of the country's air and seaports -- which would be a pretty big deal since much of the country still appears to be an active war zone.

And about five minutes later the Pentagon said he didn't know what he was talking about.

"We are not looking to, nor do we need to, take control of any air or seaports to conduct this mission," said Geoff Morrell, Pentagon press secretary. "The role of the U.S. military is strictly to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the victims of this conflict."


John McCain says he's talking to Saakashvili every day. What's he telling him? Is he confusing the situation?

That’s a good goddamned question. If McCain is engaged in freelance foreign policy shenanigans that are confusing a head of state in a potentially very dangerous context, isn’t that worth looking into? Someone needs to get Britney or Paris to Tbilisi NOW so the media will start paying attention.

I nearly fell on the floor after reading that one. But the bottom line is that I firmly believe this site is fine and more women should check it out. Yes, they are over the top and yes if you did not know it was satire some of the things they say would really piss a person off; but, they seem to be one of the good guys. Take a chance, check out the site and after investigating and finding out they are for women (not McCain) join and help Choice and me to make sure McCain does not make it to the White House.

This is Obama's struggle:



This is the reality of McSame winning the White House:




To Bring it All Home:

Senator McCain What's That About?.

Last time I checked my passport, I fell under the category of American! If that's true then by what peoples right do you have, Senator wanna-be-president McCain, of telling Americans “we are all Georgians?" No I'm not!! I know you are the foreign policy leader but what happened was this a flub? Why would you make promises that America had no interest in keeping?

I think America needs to set it straight and send Senator McCain some "Straight Talk" via a letter (especially, since he is so familiar with the term "Straight Talk).

Dear Senator McCain,

Just because your lobbyist (also known as your foreign policy advisor) is in bed with a foreign country and got paid and (let's not forget to mention how) you pushed for the Nation of Georgia to become a part of NATO, why must you involve the whole of America? Hello... in case you missed my intent, I am referring to the American people. What made you think that we, the American people, who's economy is in the tank and have our own issues (while a bumbling idiot still rules the white house -- sorry, I still cringe when Bush opens his mouth) care about another war? How much money do you plan to invest in this campaign about how you will be a great war leader (and do nothing else) must we Americans endure? But you don't want just any war you want a war with a superpower? Tap, tap, tap...Do you think we could build a little USA esteem before we once again go marching off like tin soliders in our attempt to bring democracy to the world?

But America have more questions and would like to know what's up with some of your sound decisions and judgment. Mr. republican wanna-be-president McCain why did I hear reports about you being in contact with the president of Georgia on a daily basis? (if you don't have flash you will not be able to see the video below. See it later at home).

What's that about?

Furthermore, why am I also reading in the news that your foreign policy advisor (Randy Scheunemann) is still advising the Nation of Georgia while still being your foreign policy advisor?

Randy Scheunemann earned about $70,000 serving as Sen. John McCain's top foreign policy adviser between the January 2007 and May 15, 2008. During the same period, the government of Georgia paid his firm $290,000 in lobbying fees. Today's Washington Post reports a stark illustration of the conflict of interest that Scheunemann faced while advising McCain on foreign policy matters related to the former Soviet Republic and also working for the Georgia embassy.

What's that about?

I also heard that you, not our dimwitted president, plan to send a delagation to the Nation of Georgia. No offense but that action seems very presumtious, are you sure you want to make that move. After all you and your campaigns were the ones pointing out how presumtious Obama was in Germany? Oh I get it...when you do it, its presidential but if Obama (who did not do it, but you accused him of it) look presidential it's presumtious. Well, just so you know the news is reporting this trip and it is not being viewed as favorable by...gasp, Americans.

I mean it's mighty strange that the President of Georgia called you out by name in his address to the America people today? Why would he do that? Oh, I must be having brain leakage tonight. That's right the connection to your forceful comments where the Nation of Georgia is concern is in direct relation to your recent words and actions. Such as:

• your currently-on-your-payroll foreign advisor is a lobbyist for the Nation of Georgia,
• you pushed for that nation to be included in NATO (which it is not at this present moment),
• you nominated that's country's president for the nobel peace prize in 2005,
• you have been talking to that country's president on a regular basis,
• you have sent a non-presidential delagation to that region, and
• you have reminded America how Georgia have adopted a christianity belief.

What's that about?

Might I be so bold and ask that you spend just a tiny bit of time allaying the American peoples problems. Yes, I got the message that you want to show us how you are always ready and willing to go to war and fight for the American dream (to rule the world). Rule the world after you fix our economy. I know you're old, but I've got proof positive information that you get your rest. Now I need for you to focus on America.

Sincerely,

Americans

PS: Let my favorite commentator put it to you in plan English:

If you like this story than

What If....

What would have been the backlash if Obama had put out an ad with McCain sandwich between Lil Kim and Foxy Brown? Granted there are not that many pictures of McCain at any big rallies out side of one or two (which in most cases was where he was invited to events that was guarantee a large audience). But let's pretend. What would have been the medias response, the public response, or the white American response? Wouldn't that have been delegated to the open waters of unmitigated racism?

What if Obama's web site compared McCain to a person of color, say a great black basketball player and then scrubbed it from his web site, and let's say a week later McCain mentioned how his opponent would compared him to Patrick Ewing. How would the media have responsed when Obama's camp then declared McCain was playing the race card?

What if Obama put out a negative ad once again showing McCain as a celebrity but this time minus any starlets but used alot of young black women touting how much they adored McCain, while at the same time the ad it self insulted Mccain's character, his patronage, and the truth about his policies. And let's say Obama ran this ad during the Olympics. Would the media see Obama as being no more than a jealous juvenile or would they continue to say it was a good ad?

What if Obama was surrounded by lobbyist, especially the sort that favor big oil companies and questionable regimes. Would the masses or the media ignore that simply fact as well? Even though Obama would be on video (from years ago) stating how much lobbyist can influence a candidates decision?

What if Obama was filthy rich ($100 million) and McCain had pulled his self up by his boot straps while enduring food stamps, scholarships, mother and father dying while he was young, and just recently paying off his student loans. Would the media allow Obama to push the point that McCain was an elitist?

Would the Talking Heads be ignoring Obama's every stumble, gaffe, lie, or misstep if he was white?

America is shaming itself right now during this election by allowing the Talking Heads to assail the masses with such tripe. While they seem to fall a sleep when it comes to McCain they are forever critical of Obama. If it was objective, I would be tolerant. But the Talking Heads has been and continue to be bias and fail to report the news as it happens. They bring in pundits that some times make very false and racial statements (especially since McCain let that genie out of the bottle) .

What's makes this unacceptable is the fact that Obama only asked for the chance to make a difference. If we don't want him fine, but all this racial undertone, character bashing and assault is distressing since the only thing Obama wants is to give America a chance to turn the page.

The fact that we do nothing while we continue to allow the same old politics to persist and dominate our will is an insult to our desire to want change. We want change but will not fight for it.

When will people start getting it? This time it is about the people against the government machine. It's time we got the government to clean up the mess that was never beneficial for us in the first place. Next we need to bring the Talking Heads into line and start demanding that we get the news unadulterated (the good with the bad). Not just their spin on it absence 70% of the truth when it comes to one candidate and 75% negative (even if untrue) towards another candidate. Isn't that why we have magazines like the National Enquirer and Star magazine if all we want is some bullshit with a touch of truth. I should not have to go on the internet to hear more to a story when the prime time networks and cable networks are already discussing the subject, which only illustrate that we are missing vital information.

This is the 21st century. America is a melting pot and its time we start living like it and start thinking about our children and their future. We can not let their next 8 years be the same as the last 8 years. And, since I am not a pundit or racist, a vote for McCain is a vote for a puppet who will only let the same crap be perpetuated on us once again.

Let the Talking Heads Rein

Well this was another night of the Talking Heads firing up McCain's greatness and noting how Obama continues to fall short. The fact that Obama leads in the polls is of no consequence. After all McCain has risen by 1 point. No McCain has not cracked the above 45% yet, but he is doing well and all republicans should be proud. In fact the GOP has put it out there how proud they are of their elected presumed nominee so that every one knows:

While excitement is building for a Democratic Party convention capped by Barack Obama’s historic acceptance speech before a sold-out, 75,000-seat football stadium, the GOP convention the following week is shaping up to be a considerably more staid affair, marked by the conspicuous absence of many of the usual convention attendees [...]

Of the 12 Republicans running in competitive Senate races — five of whom are incumbents — only three have said they will be attending the convention. Six are definite no-shows, and three are on the fence.

“Nobody likes a funeral,” said a Senate Republican press secretary who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing “the overall climate of general malaise about the party” as the reason for hesitance on the part of Republicans.

In fact one of the pundits (Chrystina Freeland of the Financial Times) on Hard Ball makes sure that we the viewers are aware of the fact that "the big hurdle that Obama has to overcome with those voters, the older voters you mentioned, is he has to have enough Americans get comfortable with the idea of Barack Obama with someone who is so different in so many ways from a lot of Americans and from the kind of people they are use to having as there president. That is the emerging and central question for his campaign."


Since I am not a pundit, I can state the obvious. That statement was laced with racism. What else could be inferred that the old people (white of course) can not relate to regarding Obama? Let's see Obama is a man, check, he's human, check, he's an American, check, he's educated, check, check and he's a family man, that have morals that most people value, triple check. What's left except that he's black? In Chrystina's statement lays the fundamental problem: people can not get by the fact that he is a different race (not different species, or alien, or unmoral). Hence the conclusion is that we should all be weary. Not buying it. Sorry, no. I'm worried about a puppet claiming office and 4 more years of big business controlling my fortune or more likely lack thereof.

Now let's examine how much was brought up concerning McCain's negatives. Oh that's right McCain has no negatives. What's funny is the fact that since McCain's blatant infusion of racist ads he has made it easier for the Talking Heads to make race a talking point and McCain can never be accused of playing the race card. After all such a tactic is beneath McCain's illustrous character. He's the maverick not a jealous juvenile bully. In fact, now that McCain has opened the door of race it is now easier for the Talking Head to exploit the subject by highlighting and emphasizing this new(?) problem for Obama. McCain has successfully pointed out another of Obama's flaws. The Talking Heads should thank him (and probably grovel at his feet).

Let me state the obvious, if a person did not wish to vote for Obama because of his skin color (whether they are racist in the open or in the closet) they will not be voting for him now. Making a concerted effort to bring up race as an issue when it is what it is seems like a low talking point for the Talking Heads. But I'm sure the public and online reporters are happy with this development and see McCain in a new light:

Is McCain fit to lead America?

That question hasn't been asked, nor has it been answered.

The assumption seems to be that McCain's years of experience in the military and in Congress of course give him the background and tools he'd need in the White House. As Britney might say, "Duh! For sure he's qualified!!! He's Mac!!!"

But is that true? Does McCain have the right stuff?

A careful look at McCain's biography shows that he isn't prepared for the job. His resume is much thinner than most people think

Another point that was brought up on Hard Ball was whether the public was noticing (or not paying attention to) any of McCain's gaffes, age or lies. Both pundits said NO, the public isn't paying that any attention. Of course because, we, John and Jane citizen attribute that to his fatigue. I'd really like to know where they are getting their statistics from. From what I see in speaking with various people, in the blogs, and online news, people are paying attention. Just what fatigue is McCain suffering from? It's been reported that McCain indicated that he knows he's not young and needs plenty of sleep to be able to think straight.

I almost (but not quite) feel sorry for McCain's campaign staff. How can they possibly spin this as a positive? (Emphasis added.)

McCain said he would concentrate on getting more sleep when he can.

"If I put in three or four 18-hour, 20-hour days in a row, I'm not sharp. It's just a fact," the Republican senator from Arizona said. "I'm more sharp if I get a little rest."

McCain said he feels best sleeping until 7:30 or 8 a.m., as opposed to his usual morning drill of rising at 5:30 or 6 a.m.

"It seems to help me to get up a little later in the morning," he said, joking, "Sorry to bother with that intimate detail."

Earth to McCain: the presidency is a 24/7 job.

I'm failing to fully understand the passion that the Talking Heads have expended towards such a loser. Every breath they take is used to bring down Obama and every time they expel that breath it's being used to lift up McCain? I know people like to create wars (which I have no doubt that Rick Davis and McCain instilled in the Nation of Georgia that America had their back) and love to fight for the underdog, but what the hell? Why are we sacrificing our country for the opportunity for the same government to take control again. I will not be shy or chase in mentioning that I feel that McCain is no more than a puppet for the neocons and big business to continue ruling America. Yet, why do we let our, key word our, media continue this onslaught of insulting one candidate while praising another with no clear objective in mind but the exception of putting doubts in peoples heads they are neither reality or truth.

I think it time America took back America and later for the bull shit. This crap that is taking place in Russia have absolutely nothing to do with America. I refuse to be dragged into a war with a superpower because some old ass politician wants to show he is ready to keep fighting. I care about my economy not some personal agenda to make a tire politician look good to old people who's future is limited at best. Well people welcome to the real world. If we want to win America back for the people then we will have to fight. We can not continue to let this crap stand as it is and we must make a decision. Do we move on with Obama or stay stagnant with McCain. Me, I want to move on since I still have plenty of time to be walking the face of this earth.

A Night of BS

Well the talking heads were going tonight. What was the most important topic of the night? Obama of course. How Obama compared to McCain regarding Georgia, How much Clinton factors into the convention, Obama's new celebrity ad from McCain, Obama's ad against McCain as a celebrity. What's Hillary's agenda? The Race Factor. Why isn't he leading in the polls? Blah, blah, blah!!

The man can not even go on vacation without being the talk of the town. Of course while they focused their undivided attention on Obama such great topics concerning McCain and other news was ignored:

1. McCain being presumptuous
2. McCain holding a fund raiser with an ex-fundrasier of Abramoff, Ralph Reed
3. Did McCain Plagiarize His Speech on the Georgia Crisis?
4. Obama on Russia Invasion
5. Ike's Granddaughter calls Obama "Future of America"
6. In Loose Style, McCain leads a Camp Divided
7. McCain's attacks on rival fall flat with vets group
8. Why Doesn't Bush want Veterans Voting
9. McCain: Let's Compound The Blunder!
10. Enthusiasm gap plagues GOP convention

I could go on with more political coverage the talking heads could have participated in and by chance given the American people a better perspective of where McCain stands. But atlas, no. This is all about Obama in the most negative light the talking heads can shine.

Just Got Word to be Educated is a No-No for Presidents

I just read an article where the RNC would be coming out to attack Obama on his Education to prove he is an elitist? Please, don't make me laugh so hard. After Bush with his "C" grade average who would want another dummy in the white house? Oh lest I forget, that would be McCain. McCain came up 5th from the bottom of his class which had over 800 students.

Let's talk about pointless topics.

• Let's see, Obama was raised by a single parent on food stamps and then later raised by his grandparents. He got lucky and was able to attend a private school through scholarship and later attended Columbia and Harvard. Considering who Obama is and his race, he must have been one very smart cookie to get into Harvard. In fact he and his wife only just finished paying off their student loans.

• Now let's take a look at McCain's less than stellar school attendance. McCain attended St. Stephen’s, an exclusive school in Alexandria, Va., and then Episcopal High, a private boarding school in the same city and then he later went to The Naval Academy. Considering that McCain was not the brightest star in school his just graduating was good enough; but, I don't remember any reports about him paying off student loans.
  

The RNC trying to paint Obama as an elitist is beyond the average person's comprehension; especially, considering that McCain can afford to wear $500 shoes, owns several homes, and have a heiress for a wife. Where is the comparison that leaves Obama as an elitist? Because he's educated is the yard stick that Americans should use for establishing the post for elitist? Yet those same Americans should ignore that the other guy is rich beyond an average person's belief? Can anyone, anyone believe that the RNC's new plan can possibly be an effective one? Or, are the republicans still believing that the American people are such gullible fools that they can be told anything and will easily bite the bullet?
