Bookman, I believe that you dove off the high board into the deep end of the pool, only there is no water.

Is the Democrat desperation so deep, so concerned, that now you feel compelled to say that a vote for McCain is a vote for Al-Qaeda? That if even Al-Qaeda says that McCain is an extension of George Bush, so indeed it must be true? Are you in the throes of a deep hangover?

Good God man, take a step back and read your own writings sometime. The idiocy, the sheer mind-boggling stupidity of trying to legitimize your position by using Al-Qaeda as a ‘source’ has to stun even the most politically ill informed in this entire process. Polls in Florida this morning showing McCain back up by a point got you down?

Of course your merry little band of idiot trolls will swoon all over this by saying “see, I told you McCain is like GWB!” They swallow this kind of stupidity down like kids drinking Kool Aid. They are too ignorant not to see beyond the lunacy, because they have been mind scrubbed and polished for The Token One.

As for Al-Qaeda, I could give a rats as-s what they have to say about anything as far as the election is concerned. They have proven themselves time and again to be nothing more than a pack of murderous bloodthirsty thugs. If they say something that may affect national security, that is another matter.

The fact that you also legitimize any influence they may try to bring into play in our national election makes you, well, an idiot I suppose.

And Copyleft, every time you write something you also validate your own ignorance, so my suggestion to you is to write less and think more. If what you say is true about 2004, then so what? Its past, its history, so why don’t you be the one to suck it up and get over it?

The word on the street was that good ole boy, Reformed Maverick McCain, was hoping for some change, a lot of change, in the waning days before the election. He and the Republican party have been hoping and waiting for a rich Republican donor to step up to the plate and provide the funds to go head-to-head against Obama. The Republicans may have been able to pull off their strategy again if it were not for one small problem that they seem to have overlooked — they screwed their formerly rich Republican backers BEFORE the election.

Al-Qaeda may be laying low in Iraq right now, but their numbers (along with the Taliban) are growing exponentially stronger in Afghanistan, Africa and Indonesia… the Bush administration has played right into Bin Laden’s hands by invading and occupying Iraq, instead of taking the fight directly to Al-Qaeda.

Luckovich drew a cartoon the other day that spoke volumes, it was a Bush aide carrying a fruit basket into President Bush with a card of thanks from OBL.

OBL and AQ (sorry don’t feel like typing their names out) NEED a war-mongerer wingnut POTUS just as much as the wingnut GOP need them to drum up fear of the terrorists. Both need each other in order to stay in power.

Like Mrs. G posted earlier, in my opinion, OBL’s intention was to take out the United States, but he understood that he couldn’t do it militarily, nor I think was his intention.

Most in the world understand that to ruin a country, you do it economically - to bankrupt us and have us bought out, which, again, in my opinion, we’ve played exactly by his playbook.

Terrorist groups need 2 things - money and warm bodies. They get both through hatred of the US and other Western powers.

What builds hate? Bush and his policies are the best builders of hate around. So, haters give terrorist groups money and people sign up to be members because they hate America.

Bush has been the poster child of terrorist groups for 8 years. If leaders like Bush/McCain go away, terrorist resources dry up. They don’t want that. They need hate.

G’morning, Goldie

Thanks for the response. Yes, Iraq turned into a quagmire for us. We were slow to recognize and effectively respond to the changes. Nothing new there. McCain gets points for early criticism of Bush Administration and advocating something other than withdrawal.

But really, there’s no guarantee staying in Afghanistan would’ve ‘defeated’ AQ. I believe you’ve said yourself this isn’t a classic ‘defeat by military alone’ situation. So just assuming no Iraq, AQ goes to Pakistan does not mean AQ is defeated. Way too many permutations. Pak resists cooperation with us and AQ establishes safe haven. US comes into conflict with Pak and leads to destabilizing regime. Iraq does what they said they were doing (which they weren’t) and we have to deal with them anyway.

I wouldn’t say they’re growing ‘exponentially stronger’ in the areas you cited. Even if there is expanding support among some populations one can’t pin that all on Bush and the Americans. There are a lot of economic, social, ideological failures among local govts and societies contributing.

But the main question is: what next? And I’ve not heard a convincing case that the next five or ten years in Iraq/ME will be that much different with a Pres Obama than with a Pres McCain.

Unless a Pres Obama really does intervene militarily in Muslim lands to stop present and future internal strife that offends our sensibilities. Then there would be a huge difference.

spankmonkey,

I saw your post downstairs about the beginning of incivility not being with Gingrich but the “borking of Bork”. And it’s attribution to the pedantic attorney at Wooten’s.

“‘I think what is distinct about this period (the late 90s) is the failure to really listen to the other side,’ said John Podesta, who served as President Clinton’s chief of staff and is now president of the Center for American Progress, a research organization.* ‘There is no attempt to work in the center and find a kind of bipartisan middle.’ That makes life on Capitol Hill especially difficult for centrists.

I stand by my assertion that Newt was the main miscreant in our fall from effective governance based on compromise and putting the country, not party or ideology, first. (And as an aside I have never seen anyone like jbm, who could write so much and so say very little. Must be his profession.)

And look no further than this morning for much evidence of this unwillingness to listen and learn but rather insult and hurl feces like animals in a cage.

The rabid right here began at 7:43 and for the next half hour could do little more than call people idiots, unprincipled, inferred racists etc…

Let them scream and foam at the mouth. It does not matter how loudly they wail or how many epithets they hurl.

Yes, please do explain a bit further.

If I understand your position, it’s that the likes of Pres Bush and his policies engender hatred, which leads to strengthening terrorists. Take that away and the terrorist resources (money and recruits) go away.

Could you please explain that proposition in light of the 1993 WTC bombing, followed by the probing, strengthening attacks that followed in Saudi Arabia and our African embassies at a time when we had a popular President who was adored throughout the world? Didn’t AQ capability rise during this period?

If so, then a Pres Obama, who’s spoken of rebuilding our standing in the world (and just where does he intend to do that aside from western Europe) - well, do we really think that if he leaves ‘only’ a few tens of thousands, less than a hundred, ‘noncombat’ troops (I bet the troops love that designation) in Iraq and moves thousands elsewhere in the Middle East that ‘the terrorists; are going to say “darn, there go our money and recruits!”?

Ragger,

When you lay the race card on the table, just as always, that is supposed to cease the dialog. But it doesn’t. Jamal represents a rather shiftless, lazy, entitlement dependent able bodied male who puts more money into the wheels on his pimp wagon that he does to supporting all of the additions to the entitlement population that he has spawned. It is a free country…. Jamal can pretty well do what he pleases, but the American taxpayer has to pay his bills and all the bills of all of his “children”. Jamal walks up and down the street in my home town with his friends, in the middle of the week, with no job, no prospect of one and resents it when someone says that he is irresponsible. They must be racist!!!! Jamal is killing his own kind at an alarming rate, especially in John Lewis’s district. These could be productive people, many are very bright, if given half a chance. But Jamal’s “leaders” are too busy race hustling to pay any attention to Jamal’s plight in life. Jamal never knew his father and his mother works two jobs so he doesn’t get to see her very often. He is pretty well left on his own to fend for himself with a bunch of like people who don’t have a clue. Jamal is hopefully not the future of race relations in this country but his numbers are growing. And when the Butt Pilot and all of his fellow Demos out there hustling votes, ups Jamal’s entitlement check, the incentive to break out of that mess is destroyed. Do I like this mess? Not on your life. Do you like this mess or do you think that it is time to do something about it? It’s easy to call someone a racist but the plain truth is that Jamal’s future is pretty bleak at this point. But ACORN did register him and he will vote for the right candidate, won’t he?

Hi Goldie 9:26

I haven’t made it out yet - but I do think OBL’s objective was to force us out of the ME and overthrow ME govts. The financial thing you mentioned I view as a new opportunity that arose.

Soviets were bogging down for years. I wouldn’t say OBL bankrupted Soviets - their economy was in shambles (another ‘great’ intel coup by the US - after they imploded we found our economic assessments on mil spending were so far off…) we funded muhajadeen (sp) and Afg was one more straw on the camel’s back. Just want to give credit where it’s due - the ineptness of the Soviet system and American economic strength - not to OBL.

Oh, and please, go see Wicked! It’s a wonderful play.

Bimbo Barbie FINALLY gets a media endorsement.

Yep, she’s cover girl on the latest issue of horror comic book series, “Tales From the Crypt,” in stores today.

She’s pictured swinging a hockey stick at the comics’ trio of ghoulish narrators and saying, “Didn’t we get rid of you guys in the 50’s?”

The cover is a jab at BB’s reported brush with banning books at the Wasilla public library during her time as mayor of the town, says Jim Salicrup, editor-in-chief of Papercutz, the publisher of the comic.

“Anything that touches on banning books and censorship we’re very sensitive about at ‘Tales of the Crypt,’” said Salicrup. “When there were reports that Gov. Palin - back when she was mayor of Wasilla - looked into banning books at the library, that’s what caught our attention.”

Oh gosh darn it! On second read, it’s not an endorsement. It’s a b*tchslap. She can’t even get the support of the freaking comic book lobby.

I wonder how she’s holding up in “coloring book” circles. Probably not well, seeing as Obama beat McIdiot in the Nickelodeon children’s poll.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen her and McNasty on the cover of a Batman comic book, with a word balloon over their head saying “POW”.

Taxpayer,

Paul is one of the more unique guys who posts here, and is IMHO, one of the good guys. The consummate centrist, he gets derided by both the right and particularly the left.

I don’t always agree with him, of course, though often I do, but I acknowledge his consistency of stance and his unwillingness to let the turkeys get him down. And his reasonable approach based on facts has caused me more than once to reevaluate my position on any given topic.

The lawyer on the other hand is, in my opinion, a “conservative” (No, wait! “Libertarian”) partisan who pretends not to be and who cloaks his strident views with flowery and inane rhetoric.

As for today’s topic it is no surprise whatsoever, that the good Republicans excoriate all non-Republicans as being preferred by the terrorists. Then when an instance of it happens to them, rather than being real men and acknowledging just how irrelevant this cr@p is, they spin and twist and gyrate like whirling dervishes.

Complete intellectual dishonesty by uncompromising hyper-partisans I would say.

Not the upper middle class black person. They pretend that Jamal doesn’t even exist. Not Je$$ie or Al or Maxine. Where would they get the votes for their perpetual jobs? Cosby has made some waves…. so has Juan Williams in his book, “Enough”. Makes pretty good reading. Larry Elder in his book “Stupid Black Men”, paints a pretty dark picture of Jamal. So does John McWhorter in his book, “Losing the Race”. All black authors. Read any of these books, Ragger? Another one that is a must is “Up From Slavery” by Booker T. Washington. A white guy is not supposed to read this stuff, is he? All of them have pretty dark opinions about Jamal but they are all black so it is OK to say these things, isn’t it?

The Truth About ACORN

Fact: ACORN has implemented the most sophisticated quality-control system in the voter engagement field but in almost every state we are required to turn in ALL completed applications, even the ones we know to be problematic.

Fact: ACORN flags in writing incomplete, problem, or suspicious cards when we turn them in. Unfortunately, some of these same officials then come back weeks or months later and accuse us of deliberately turning in phony cards. In many cases, we can actually prove that these are the same cards we called to their attention.

Fact: Our canvassers are paid by the hour, not by the card. ACORN has a zero-tolerance policy for deliberately falsifying registrations, and in the cases where our internal quality controls have identified this happening we have fired the workers involved and turned them in to election officials and law-enforcement.

Fact: No criminal charges related to voter registration have ever been brought against ACORN or partner organizations. Convictions against individual former ACORN workers have been accomplished with our full cooperation, using the evidence obtained through our quality control and verification processes — evidence which in most cases WE called to the attention of authorities

Fact: Most election officials have recognized ACORN’s good work and praised our quality control systems. Even in the cities where election officials have complained about ACORN, the applications in question represent less than 1% of the thousands and thousands of registrations ACORN has collected.

Fact: Our accusers not only fail to provide any evidence, they fail to suggest a motive: there is virtually no chance anyone would be able to vote fraudulently, so there is no reason to deliberately submit phony registrations. ACORN is committed to ensuring that the greatest possible numbers of people are registered

ACORN will not be intimidated and in this important moment in history we will not allow anyone to distract us from these vital efforts to empower our constituencies and our communities to speak for themselves.

Property Rights

Freedom of Religion

Equality Under the Law which has been “broadly undermined in American life today through racial quotas and preferences and other race conscious policies.”

Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Individual Liberty and Federalism

In 2004, Bin Laden attempted reverse psychology to help Bush get elected. They assume that people are expecting that tactic for this election, so they’re attempting reverse-reverse psychology. Fairly clever, but obvious at the same time. It’s the weaker Obama they want this time around. Obama’s economic policies will quickly lay to waste America’s economy.

It was Biden pointing out Obama’s weakness that provoked this jihadist message. That being said, the message is credited to a frequent and apparently respected contributor named Muhammad Haafid. Mr. Haafid, however, is not believed to have a direct affiliation with al-Qaeda plans or knowledge of its operations, according to site.

Here’s my favorite part of the Army Times write-up:

“…as a snapshot of careerists…”

In other words, it’s not representative of the bulk of the fighting force. The grunts who serve a couple of tours, then move on to civilian life. The guys who enlist because it’s the best opportunity for them to improve their lives, to get out of their poor towns or neighborhoods, the rural or urban areas addled by low employment opportunity and high prevalence of drugs. The IED fodder. The ones who get PTSD or brain injuries only to be “diagnosed” by military doctors as having pre-existing, undiagnosed personality disorders, thereby disqualifying them from receiving VA medical treatment, pension benefits, etc, and in more than one instance causing them to receive bills from the military demanding repayment of signing bonuses since they could not complete their contracted lengths of enlistment.

The guys who have seen the treatment of their fellow soldiers by the Bush administration (and its partners in crime like McCain) and decided that we need a new direction. The guys we currently put in the line of fire. That’s whose opinions I value, that’s who is underrepresented in the Army Times poll, and that’s who backs Obama over McCain

It was unclear how closely the commentary reflected the views of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who has not issued a public statement since the spring. Some terrorism experts said the support for McCain could be mere bluster by a group that may have more to fear from a McCain presidency In any event,…

He even linked to page 2 so you wouldn’t get hit right between the eyes with that paragraph that was on page 1 of the story. Shameful Jay B, but at least you linked to your source so you do get points for that.

Goldie @ 12:22 PM - Thanks for the feedback. I think I’ll pass on speaking for Ray. ;-)

I will say I believe Dr.Paul received more support then did “McAmnasty” due to his ever unwavable devotion to our Constitution. “McAmnasty” was raised from the ashes due to his willingness to serve his Globalist Elite ma$ters & be the flipside (to “Bacrock Obuma”) of their controlled “coin” (that is the DNC & GOP so-called “leadership”). I really wish Dr.Paul would have ran 3rd party or Independent. I distrust the majority of the sellouts on “Crapitol sHill”, but Ron Paul is rare exeception indeed!

I give credit to these government institutions for bringing in outside participants to game their conclusions. They do that a lot. And sometimes they even learn from the exercises and it can lead to world-changing events. Thank heavens the top echelons acted on the findings.

Regarding Wolfowitz – I must say some guys at that level are like the top guys at the networks or some corporations – they may have had some successes that took them to their positions, but once there, no matter how big they screw up, or how often, they just keep recycling themselves through new jobs. Very little accountability, it seems to me, no matter the damage done. I have a bit of a problem with him and Richard Perle – real behind the scenes kind of guys.

I’m not sure if it posted the other day, but here’s a link to Nader’s interview with BOR. Typical too-short interview but I enjoyed towards the end where they engaged the past comments (BOR calling him a socialist in the past) and they seemed to clarify things.

Fox is paying BOR $10 mil? They pay Simon Cowell $35 mil for American Idol!

Regarding today’s thread, one has to wonder. The first paragraph was

[[Al-Qaeda is watching the U.S. stock market’s downward slide with something akin to jubilation, with its leaders hailing the financial crisis as a vindication of its strategy of crippling America’s economy through endless, costly foreign wars against Islamist insurgents.]]

So I guess these guys don’t understand derivatives, masking credit risk, tying compensation to transactions, etc. Now I learn the economic meltdown was caused by military action against terrorists…

Just another case of seeing cause and effect rather than associated events.

I rather think AQ will not be happy in the long run with either candidate.

Moob fireworks are legal in some instances. However the posting said my kids are going to south carolina to buy fireworks. If Godzilla intended to use the legal variety why go to SC where they sell fireworks deemed illegal in this state. Seems not to make sense to spend extra gas only to go get legal fireworks.

You’re most welcome.

Jay,

Thinking this through a bit further, some will speak of the high costs and debt incurred withe the war in Iraq. Keeping that thought in mind, one hears charges against Sen Obama that he will be a “Tax and Spend” President.

I have to ask, “What’s wrong with that?”

The alternative is what we’ve had for the last eight years - a “Borrow and Spend” President.

Not spending isn’t an option. They’re politicians. It’s what they do.

So, did we have to incur this huge debt from the war? No. Taking on debt was a choice, one that will restrict our freedom of action for years and years to come.

So, in my mind, “Tax and Spend” will be a welcome change.

Although I shouldn’t be, I have to admit I’m surprised at this column. Al-Queda endorses McCain, supposedly because he’ll follow Bush’s failed policies. Which failed policy would that be, the surge in Iraq? Obama has pledged to withdraw the troops pretty much regardless of the situation in Iraq (and I agree iraq was badly mishandled from the gitgo, and this from a republican), so can Afghanistan be far behind? Of course Al-Queda wants Obama in the White House. Here is a potential prez who will arguably sit down with these folks, maybe “I feel your pain” or else agree with their dislike of the U.S. ala Jeremiah Wright. Jeez Jay. I guess if NAMBLA endorsed McCain you’d crow about that as well? Finally, I’ve got to say that in the all the elections I’ve voted in since Carter, I’ve never seen people react to each other like they have in this one. Regardless of the outcome, this election sure has been an extremely poor reflection on U.S. society, and neither Obama nor McCain are likely to address that, much less change anything. To quote a former pattriot “Shame on my Country.”

He graduated from Columbia University and earned his law degree from Harvard Law School. He became the first black president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review.

Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago and he led a voter (FRAUD/ACORN) registration drive to help then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton. Obama was a senior instructor in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School. He represented a South Side district in the Illinois Senate.

He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

But AQ knows “useful fools” will make a big deal of this nonsense promulgated by harrific terrorists. That said, why don’t you cover the preconditions that Iran set forth to meet with the US. Not even on the job and Iran is already mocking BO. Are you gonna cover this or just wait until Joe-the-Biden’s catastrophe is visited upon it to address that the dark elements of the world view BO as a weakling and “that one” who can be trifled with.

Vice President for Media Affairs Mehdi Kalhor said on Saturday that Iran has set two preconditions for holding talks with the United States of America. In an exclusive interview with the Islamic Republic News Agency, he said as long as U.S. forces have not left the Middle East region and continues its support for the Zionist regime, talks between Iran and U.S. is off the agenda.

You forget that Congress was controlled by the Democrats while the economic turmoil occurred. So they get some blame too. I can agree that Al-Qaeda is happy with U.S. problems. But I don’t think they were too happy about their scumbags getting killed off due to U.S. presence in the region. But saying the terrorist brought about all the economic turmoil is short sighted. I suppose you think just leave Al-Qaeda alone and it will go away. NOT!!!

The reason our enemies want McCain to win is simple.They saw the way the Republicans reacted to Bush’s “war on terror.” Bush was completely abandoned by his supporters and forced to conduct 2 wars with a depleted army.

Jay’s right, our enemies do use things like the Internet. Our enemies keep tabs on us too. Our enemies want McCain to win. Why? Because they witnessed the great Republican sit-in. Bush’s “warriors” decided their education, career, and blogs were more important than “the war on terror.” Bush’s “warriors” were exposed as frauds. The enemy now even know we have to recruit criminals to fill our ranks! Sad.

Of course our enemies want a McCain victory. They know they are pretty much safe with the status quo. They are not afraid of our Republican bloggers, I mean “warriors”.

You clearly are sensitive and continue to whine over spilled milk. The rallies spoke for themselves. Your party stinks and most reasonable people get it.

Williebkind…english please?

Wannabe Duke attendee…why are you fixated on the KKK? Sounds like you attended a Caribou Barbie rally.

NO way, Don’t care if you’re impressed or not. Just stating the facts.

I’LL ASK THIS AGAIN IN ALL CAPS. WHERE IS THE PROOF ABOUT PALIN SUPPORTERS MAKING RACIST REMARKS ABOUT HUSSEIN OBAMA?

I am sorry NO WAY but I do not speak any foreign languages. I guess I am too American.

NO way, Because you said that supporters of Palin were KKK without the robes. You seem to forget very easily. You should not have dropped out of high school because your stupidity is showing.

CommunistAJC…can you find that quote from me? I think not because you are as confused as your party. Reading is fundamental.

Williebkind, “Too American?” I’m willing to bet Sean Hannity confirmed that for you. How predictable.

NO way, In an earlier post I was talking to someone who called Palin supporters racist. You then had to chime in and call them extremist. THEREFORE, you were agreeing with copyleft about the KKK reference. Make sense? Go back and read through your garbage and what I really wrote.

Agree with AmVet at 10:20am completely! The 2001 WTC disaster was meant to make us so afraid of our shadows that we would implode and destroy our own democracy. AQ never again has to attack us; their tactic is polarization, incompetency and inpotency. The truth is Bush put this country in an ever- spiralling decline that won’t be corrected in a decade or a generation; and, each time there is an election, Repubs will play the ” socialist, terrorist-loving anti-American” card.

That’s what I thought “MAKING” you were channel surfing and you came to a conclusion about something which you didn’t bother to watch. Now how would one draw a conclusion on something they’re channel surfing through?

Only you MAKING…

Go back to your comic books .. you’re a joke!

I agree with CommunistAJC 7:09. Beki do you not remember the attack on the WTC while Clinton was in office? The attacks on our service men while Clinton was in office? They were testing us then and since there was no response they felt emboldened to fly the plains into the WTC’s. Biden admitted already that an obama presidency would be tested in the first six months and obama has stated many times he wants to talk to the aggressors to find out how to please them so they won’t attack us aggain. PULEEEASE. What a looser.

This country is in a spiral at the moment because of people like Harre Reid and Barny Frank who are recorded on record after getting big payoffs from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, “There is nothing wrong with these companies, we DO NOT NEED TO PUT REGULATIONS ON THEM”. And, that Nancy, I need another drink, Pelosi just fell right in there with them since GWB is Pres. They wanted this economy to fail so they could blame it on the Bush admin..

What they didn’t expect is that it would crash the world market also. So all you government loving libtards go ahead and vote the jokester into the commander in Cheif position and lets see how we are tested. It won’t be just military but how to find a job when business taxes are so high they are laying off workers and moving their jobs overseas.

Read between the lines: This from a sign posted by a small business…

As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama officially becomes president-elect, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.

So let’s vote for Obama because the terrorists “say” they want McCain. Gee would you think this may be a ploy. I mean c’mon even Biden says we will have a major international incident on our hands if Obama is elected.

Jay, you’ve gone too far with this. Pulling in AlQaeda to make your socialist points. That is simply trash…but considering the side you’re supporting I expect nothing less.

Al Qaeda supports McCain for POTUS: DONT BET ON IT! The logic behind this is, if Al Qaeda can make America think that they want McCain in office, we will all run vote Obama. Which is exactly who they want, as their mooslim cohort in office. Don’t be fooled by Al Qaeda child psychology.

wow. the fact that the liberal media would report on this is fascinating. I use the same psychology with my 5 year old. Except she doesn’t fall for it! So Al Queda wants McCain in office and that’s their statement. And our media is going to publicize this and take it at face value? And Mike Luckovich is going to scribble cartoons about it. Sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. Sad. Sad.

Katie Couric interviewed Sen McCain and Sen Obama and asked “When was the last time you cried, and why?”

A national anchor from a major network has access to both candidates and asks this?!!?

At least we’ve come a long way from the time of Edmund Muskie.
