Is there a cash prize, dude. Like, I don’t like to mess up my regular schedule for like stuff that is like a waste of valuable time, man, unless there’s like some cash reward involved. You know what I mean, dude. And like will there be first, second, and third place prizes. If there are, man, where can I pick up my prize because I want that billionaire dude — what’s his name, George Or Something like that — that tried to bankrupt England to be one of the dudes that gets to take over in case anything happens to the head dude. He like understands where I’m coming from, you know. I just know that I don’t want any more of them cowboy hat wearin’ wanna-be rodeo stars that can’t even aim a shotgun.

I’ll tell ‘ya this much Jay. I have no idea nor control over who the candidates pick. I’d like to see both put politics aside to choose a VP who can lead this country through difficult global conflicts, which is where we are right now.

To choose a candidate based solely on any given domestic issue in order to win votes would be reckless in my opinion.

We all know Putin’s reputation for propoganda — he keeps saying that there were African Americans killed on the battlefield in Georgia. What message do you think he’s sending to OBlahMa?

Got to agreee with jack Reed. Don’t believe for a second that he’s not interested in the VP slot and even if he is’nt, i think if Obama asked him to step up to the plate, Reed would in the interests of the party and to serve the country. To be asked to be vice president is an honour and no patriot would decline it. As for the rest, Strickland and Webb, i don’t believe them either. Of course webb would take the Job. Who they kidding. It’s all in the game. i think Pawlenty will get the nod from Mac.

Obama takes the governor from Virginia, whatever his name is; we can’t have anyone with name recognition that could potentially upstage The Messiah.

McCain pulls the upset here and goes with Joe Lieberman. An Independent, former Democrat, that came to his senses late in life, but in time, to ditch the POL (Part of Losers).

The Dunce will take a famous TV dolphin named Flipper.

WASHINGTON — Facing a large deficit in the Democratic National Convention budget, officials from Barack Obama’s campaign have begun personally soliciting labor unions and others for contributions of up to $1 million. In exchange, donors could get stadium skyboxes for Obama’s acceptance speech and other perks.

Obama has regularly criticized politicians seeking large donations outside the framework of campaign finance regulations — so-called soft money — while touting the virtues of relying on small donations.

Actually Obambi will go with Bill Richardson.

McCain will take Sarah Palin.

The arrogant one strikes again.

So, in response, we get yet another silly logo from Team Obama, telling people to Buy American, but using the Obama logo in place of the American flag. It�s targeted to those folks that Barack Obama believes cling bitterly to their religion and guns, and hoping that he can exploit that bitterness for a few more votes among small-town voters. This looks a lot more like Buy Obama than Buy American, and unfortunately, fewer and fewer people are buying Mr. Logo any more.

I thought Evan Bayh was essential to bringing Hillary supporters on board.

The liberal, invitation-only Townhouse e-mail list-serve has been buzzing with anti-Bayh ferment of late, especially since Obama is widely expected to name his running mate early next week. But Obama has also shown he is willing to hold the liberal blogosphere at arms length, most recently by ignoring Internet entreaties to abandon support for a compromise bill on warrantless wiretapping.

Holding the left under “The Wheels of the Bus” with arms extended. How does it feel knowing that nobody wants you uber doobers anymore?

Still, the left’s Bayh fixation may be having an impact. The Bayh buzz has died down a bit. The new media darling appears to be Biden.

And that my friends, is a clear indication that even the media has no confidence in OBlahMa’s foreign policy credentials.

Jay, your guesses are as good as any. But since you asked—

For Obama, my short list is

Kathleen Sebelius (although she’s scheduled to speak already, and that probably rules her out)

Wes Clark (although I am slightly concerned that having a general as a veep could be seen as a concession to the GOPee that Obama somehow needs a gun-totin’ military man to “balance” the ticket)

Joe Biden (a wonderful attack-dog, he’d be a great campaigner, although I don’t like pulling him out of the Senate, necessarily)

I’ll probably be wrong, I never pick these correctly. (I wanted GHWBush to pick Colin Powell in ‘88 and people thought I was nuts.)

As for McCain—I don’t care. Pair of sweat socks.

But if I had to bet I’d go with Mittens, who has proven an uncanny ability to hold any position at any given time needed to ensure election.

I think they can’t pull Crist out and have him risk getting the crap beat out of him on the campaign trail this year. They have better things in store for this still relatively-young guy (he’s only 52.)

Or maybe he picks Huckabee—that’d be the politically smart choice, you get all the fundies excited (plus the all important dozen-or-so FairTax cultists…) except word is that McCain hates the guy.

He probably won’t pick Jindal (not just too young, and too contrasty when onstage together—Jindal is something of a hyper-religious freak; and he almost certainly won’t pick Joementum—them rednecks in the GOPee base ain’t gone vote fer no Christ-killer. Plus there’d be that pesky NARAL endorsement to ‘splain away.

And I see the wingers are continuing to talk to themselves.

Well, as long as this has become a place over the weekend to copy/paste inside-baseball stuff of interest only to those of one’s own political bent, herewith please find a linkee to a hilarious take-down of the Nazi Review’s “Real Men Have Man-love for McCain only!”

A taste follows: ++++++++

On the website of F#cktard Semimonthly … I mean, National Review … Lou Aguilar posits the top ten reasons why “Real Men Vote for McCain.” (I don’t think this is satire — I think the dumb sh!t actually believes this. )

I thought it might be a good exercise to take this little screed apart, point by point, with the right-wing’s enemy, facts. It’s so easy even a DFH caveman could do it.

1. Barack Obama spent 20 years sitting in church while his preacher and others bad-mouthed the United States of America. Navy pilot John McCain spent five years being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton, and refused a chance to walk out ahead of fellow POWs with more seniority.

Okay, Lou, fair enough — let’s start with an easy one. First, I thought Obama was a Muslim? I mean, which lie do you want to go with — the Muslim one or the “I agree with everything my preacher said” one? You can’t have both, pal. Anyway, if you want to say that Obama believes everything Jeremiah Wright said, then I get to say that Huggy Bear believes everything John Hagee and Rod Parsley said. How’s that sound?

Let’s see … Navy service … ah, yes, here it is. Huggy ranked 894th in his class of 899 at the U.S. Naval Academy. He crashed five planes during his “career.” He cooperated with the North Vietnamese at every turn during his incarceration. And this so-called victim of torture just loves torture now. Nice military record there, Lou. Thanks for bringing it up.

All is not well in The dunce’s bait and switch ticket scheme.

“It just makes me angry,” said Katherine Thayer, of Denver. “If they’re going to go out and say it’s first-come, first-served and then turn around and reward people who volunteer or gave money, then they ought to be up front about it.”

I was one of the local democrats who registered online immediately after 2:30 p.m. on August 6. I got a phone call from a “Matt,” trying to get me to volunteer for 3 separate shifts to get tickets. When I told Matt that I work 2 jobs and would be unable to put that much time in, he said that I would have to “take my chances on the lottery” for my tickets. I said “what lottery, it’s first come, first served.” Matt said he and the Obama campaign had no control over the ticket process, and blamed the Democratic National Committee. Needless to say, I didn’t get my tickets, just an email suggesting I volunteer. This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I’m starting to wonder if Barack is just like every other politician out there. I’m very disappointed. I thank the Rocky for the story and I hope they look into it further. Letting the “ordinary people” in was a great idea, too bad is wasn’t true.

How’s a guy a dunce when he’s essentially made his way in the world on his own merits, and intelligence. I suspect the “Dunce” didn’t get a pass because his dad had connections (Dubya), or because his ancestors were Admirals (McCain). If Obama screwed up as much, and dramatically (mission accomplished), as some people, then he’d deserve the Dunce tag. Face it, you think he’s a dunce because that’s how you feel about all black people.

I truly feel sorry for people like you that can’t get beyond the color of someone’s skin. Another place we differ is that I think The dunce may very well become President.

Here’s an example of either mind blowing arrogance, or fear of taking direct questions and showing your inner dunce.

CBS has agreed to broadcast the meeting live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Aug. 11. The candidates would face questions directly from an audience of 6,000 people, made up of veterans, service members and military families from the base.

Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has not agreed to participate

�Senator Obama strongly supports America�s veterans and military families and has worked hard on their behalf in the Senate,� said Phillip Carter, director of Mr. Obama�s veterans effort and an Iraq war veteran. �While 88we unfortunately had a previously scheduled commitment on the date proposed, Senator Obama looks forward to continuing the dialogue he�s been having throughout the country with veterans on how we can better serve our men and women in uniform as they serve us.�

One might expect a Constitutional law expert to understand the historical record of the Nuremberg trials, especially if using them as an example in his speeches. Unfortunately, Barack Obama showed his lack of preparation yet again in Pennsylvania as he praised the Boumediene decision by the Supreme Court last week. Obama claimed that it represented a return to American values as represented by the Nuremberg trials � which actually didn�t allow habeas corpus through American civil courts at all

Robert Kagan, author of the “surge” strategy, echoes the Duh Report:

A few years ago, Gerhard Schr�der and Jacques Chirac flirted with drawing closer to Russia as a way of counterbalancing American power. But lately France, Germany, and the rest of Europe have been moving in the other direction. This is not out of renewed affection for the United States. It is a response to changing international circumstances and to lessons learned from the past. The Chirac-Schr�der attempt to make Europe a counterweight to American power failed in part because the European Union’s newest members from Central and Eastern Europe fear a resurgent Russia and insist on close strategic ties with Washington. That was true even before Russia invaded Georgia. Now their feeling of dependence on the United States will grow dramatically.

For instance, not once has anyone, ever, at any time, produced those grades. Never. At no time have Obama’s grades ever been cited. And that is damning. Because as any person who’s ever graduated from elementary, high school or college will tell you, their grade point average is so close to their identity as to be the identity itself. Therefore - for that ‘identity’ to be invisible as is the case with Obama, is quite revealing. In plain words, if someone doesn’t mention a high grade point average, it’s for only one reason - there isn’t a high grade point average.

OBlahMa’s probably has a lot of book sense. It’s life experiences and lack of historical knowledge in which he’s sorely lacking.

He does know how to fund a slumlord though. Oh wait a minute…………

he attributed that to a “bonehead” mistake.

His words, not mine.

Watching him repeatedly having to “clarify”, it’s clear his headbone ain’t protectin’ much in there……..or out for that matter.

Dear @@. 3:16

I’m sure we “who know what is right” stand together. Where’d you say Joe the Bidet stands? Oh Russia..??

Joe says that he has no doubt that Russia is going to win. Yes, indeed, the Olympics are theirs. And Russia wouldn’t dare invade Georgia while Congress is off for recess. And if they should, Jimmy Carter will be in Georgia to fight.

When I am VP, there will be NO RECESS FOR CONGRESS. Just in case, I am shipping a few boxes of moon pies to Jimmy Carter so he won’t lose his courage. See what a strong VP might do. Almost as much as the UN.

Axelrod, OBlahMa�s campaign manager is in the business of marketing for corporate America.

This Obumbler has quite a team. On page 7 they say it’s a lie to say The Dunce was registered as a Muslim in school and then explain that the reality is he was registered as a Muslim in school.

A winning potshot on that link:

“That’s not counting the existing states of Alaska and Hawaii, he said, which his staff decided aren’t important enough to visit. Unless maybe you’re Mike Gravel or Dennis Kucinich, who weren’t very important either, come to think of it.”

I suppose to this pompous arrogant liberal boob that vacationing there is ok, however. By the by, did he go visit the Pearl Harbor memorial? That’s what I thought.

She says McCain’s willingness to take another look at ANWR is “very encouraging.”

“It bodes well for him as a pragmatic and wise and experienced statesman,” says Palin. “What he’s doing here is he’s calling an audible when conditions on the field are changing. And that’s what you do if you want to win the game here. One of the pieces of a solution is allowing exploration on that little 2,000 acre plot of land out of the 20 million acres up there in the coastal plain.”

That’s the governor of Alaska who is obviously in favor of drilling in ANWR.

Plus she’s hot, too.

O.K, maybe Palin.

cranky yank,

The Dunce said he had been to 57 states and still had one to go. He also said his staff wouldn’t let him go to Hawaii or Alaska, so we’re up to 60. There’s still a question of whether he was continuing to boycott Florida and Michigan so we may well be up to 62.

My bad for the two posts. Here is a snippet of what libs don’t even want to ponder:

Conventional wisdom has rapidly hardened around the proposition that there is no practical military response to the Russian invasion of Georgia. In fact, if the Georgians were inclined to fight, there is quite a lot they could do militarily, and in a way that would not directly involve U.S. or NATO forces. To understand how this military option would work, some background is required.

More here.

Funny how The Chosen One shifted his stance and started that hollow tough talk after McCain on the issue, huh?

CHICAGO - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday called for ridding the world of nuclear weapons, arguing that U.S. policy is still focused on the defunct Soviet Union instead of combatting the nuclear threat from rogue nations and terrorists.

And then we have the Russian issue about threatening Poland with nukes:

MOSCOW - A top Russian general said Friday that Poland’s agreement to accept a U.S. missile interceptor base exposes the ex-communist nation to attack, possibly by nuclear weapons, the Interfax news agency reported.

Go get ‘em Tiger! Err, Oblahma. And how many idiots want that pompous arrogant liberal boob to be president?

I want it duly that I got to Palin at 12:24

Duly noted!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Barack Obama has been fond of playing the race card in this campaign telling his enraptured audiences that Republicans will attack him because he’s black, even though no GOP candidate or campaign has done so to date. But, Obama is a newcomer to the racemongering game when compared to Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. True to form, in a recent interview Dean has once again called the GOP a “white party” attempting to make this campaign about race issues instead of candidates and platforms.

This is the sort of cynical, hate-filled garbage that Democrats have universally parlayed as campaign rhetoric since the 1960s. As recently as the August election in Tennessee’s 9th District, for instance, a black challenger to a white, Jewish incumbent featured both racial and religious epithets thrown at the Congressman by the black, Democrat challenger. That obscene campaign barely rated a mention in the Old Media. The response by the Old Media to the ease with which Democrats resort to race baiting, though, also shows the impunity that Democrats enjoy on the issue. That Dean knows he can say such a thing and not feel he’d be taken to task for it proves not only that the Democrats are dividers and not uniters, but that the Old Media can be relied on to give them a complete pass on their divisiveness

Speaking of dividers, how come The Dunce is supposed to be able to use his Messiah like powers to unite us all, but he can’t even unite his party?

My predictions: Obama-Chris Matthews McCain-Ed McMahon

In the event either of these two can’t/won’t serve I would be happy to.

My Qualifications: Natural Born US Citizen. Over 35. Can read and write. I could use the money. I agree to keep all scandals/pecadillos to a tastefully manageable level. I will just stay down here in the hills and stay out of the President’s hair. I own 2 fairly nice suits and both are clean so I’m ready to attend a funeral at the drop of a hat. (So to speak, hat not included.) I can be bipartisan. (Both parties disgust me). You don’t have to worry about me trying to take over policy or your job because I would be quite content with the Veep salary and have no desire to move higher.

So if either candidate wants to take me up on this offer, just leave a note on the gate and I’ll get back to you.
