The market sucks. The economy’s broken. The government has thrown laissez faire out the window and almost a trillion of our tax dollars down the rabbit hole. How did we get here?! Well, here are some thoughts.
On the Bush Administration’s “fuzzy math”:

Make No Mistake, It’s A Fight To The Finish And We Aim To Win!
Viva la revolution! Grab a torch and lend a hand with passing out the
clubs and pitchforks!
I’m referring to the amazing sensation that the people are fuming and
fighting to take their country back. It’s happening, and the fight for
the Presidency is in full swing during the final stretch. Ever since
the Democratic (in name only) primaries ended and PUMA was born, blue
collar working class citizens have been vocalizing their anger and
concerns. It was joined by other voices, No Deal and The Denver Group
to name just a few, and was further fostered by Citizens for McCain.
Party lines were indeed rubbed away in light of the frightening “change”
emerging from the gutters of Chicago, and “Country Before Party” became
more then just a slogan. Now from out of Wisconsin (three cheers for
the Cheese Heads!) we see Republicans, Independents and Democrats alike
united not only in opposition against an Obama Presidency and the lies
it spews but also in their rage against the underhanded and deceptive
tactics the Obama campaign has employed as well as the disgraceful
performance by the media along with the corrupt and ineffective actions
of the political party elites. The people have noticed and have quite
bluntly stated that they are indeed mad. Very. Very. MAD!
I know I’m mad. Heck, I’m freak’n livid! When the Democratic primaries
initially began, while I was without doubt a dedicated and HUGE fan of
Sen. Hillary Clinton, I was encouraged and impressed by the new and
fresh Sen. Obama. How quickly that all changed. I began to grow leery
as no substance was offered, only more and more lavish words of hope and
change. I saw Gov. Ed Rendell, Geraldine Ferraro, former President
Clinton and Hillary herself all accused of racism. Voter fraud ran
unrestrained, with numerous instances being targeted and cited against
Obama’s campaign by Hillary and her supporters. Texas itself was a
complete fiasco, the counting halted at 41% for the caucuses, and Obama
ending up with six more delegates despite having less people vote for
him. Even this was not the lowest of low to happen though - that label
would have to go to the epic disgrace that occurred at the Rules and
Bylaws Committee, when Sen. Obama was awarded all of the undecided votes
(which included votes that would have gone to Richardson and Edwards) as
well as four of the delegates that Hillary had legitimately won!
Furthermore, the votes of the people of Florida were cut in half - and
this by the Democratic Party! If that were not enough, we also received
an earful from the venomous Donna Brazille on the subject of cheating, a
topic that I’m sure she’s quite the expert in. From there it was just a
downward spiral. Despite enormous victories by Hillary, the DNC elites
and media pundits kept telling us that they had already decided that it
would be Obama. When Hillary told them that it would come down to
swing states they laughed and said “Didn’t you get the memo? It’s a 50
(or 57 if you’re talking to Obama) state strategy this year!” Of
course, the fifty state strategy fell flat on its face, and now the
battle is over the swing states. Hillary told that it would be about
the economy, a topic she handedly had control of, and a voter block that
was among her strongest. Once again the Democrats laughed at her and
once again she proved to be prophetically accurate. Yet, in the end,
the most we were given was a pathetic damn “symbolic vote.” *SPIT!*
And that was just the primary season.
Since then, the audacious and blatant lies coupled with the thug tactics
of Obama & ‘bots has reach proportions that has the hard working and
level headed people of our great land red faced and demanding
retribution with a mighty roar. The mask is off of the great orator and
the honeymoon is definitely over. The pieces are being connected by the
general public at large, so the following is no longer merely the
whispers of exiled Democrats: 1) He has lied about his relations with
now convicted felon Tony Rezko, having been a part of his scams to get
millions in funding for housing projects that he let fall into utter
disrepair; 2) He lied about his lack of knowledge in regards to Rev
Wright’s malicious and hate-filled messages, having only disassociated
himself with his mentor when comments were made that effected Sen.
Obama; 3) He lied about his relationship with anti-American and
terrorist William Ayers. This isn’t even getting into the plethora of
other shady characters that are quickly coming to light and being
connected to his name.
The media has the nerve to ask “How are we not fair? What are these
questions that we are not asking?” Well, if they are truly that
incapable of doing their job, here are a few suggestions I have to
offer:
1) How is it that Barak Obama has risen so fast in his political
career out of the criminal cesspool of Chicago without doing any major
legislation and, far from opposing corruption, seems to have numerous
“friendly ties” to the lowest of lows in the criminal sect?
2) Sen. Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Barny Frank are just a few who
have been able to line their pockets with the misfortunes of the
American people with the currents failings of our economy. The DNC
shares in so much of the blame for how we have gotten to where we are
at. How the hell does he maintain that he has any credibility in this
area?
3) ACORN is now under investigation in ten states for voter fraud.
ACORN and Obama are unquestionably linked. How long does Sen.Obama
believe that the people of this country will continue to buy his load of
BS that it’s just another coincidence and that he is in no way involved
in their actions - despite his party wanting to give millions to
billions of OUR MONEY to this despicable and heinous organization?
4) Aside from distancing himself from endorsements from Hamas and
his recent European Extravaganza Tour (trip to injured soldiers not
included), exactly what foreign policy experience does he have again?
Because, he did say that he has more foreign policy experience the
either Hillary Clinton OR John McCain. Just words, Sen. Obama?
These are but a few that I can drum off the top of my head
without even trying. As for Sen. McCain, I highly suggest that he takes
the advice of his supporters VERY SERIOUSLY. I understand that he is in
a delicate position, but come on, the media is going to hammer you
regardless, so why not show us that temper that we’ve heard so much
about! We don’t listen to those bobble heads in the MSM anyway, we
started tuning them out way back in the primary season, and it sounds
like the Republicans in your base are pretty much at the same point as
well. But if you insist on being polite, so be it. However, for the
love of all that is good, if you’re going to speak softly, at the least
carry with you A BIG DAMN STICK!
There’s only one more debate left. Go knock Obama silly, and
then sock The One a good “one” that sends that zero flying all the way
back to Chicago.
Country before party. NObama in NOvember. McCain/Palin ‘08,
Hillary ‘12!
*BTW, I said back in June that there is no way I’d ever vote for
Obama. Obama and the DNC told me I was just bitter and emotional, that
I would “get over it” and follow “party loyalty.” I just mailed my
absentee ballot today from out here in Iraq, and you better believe that
it was marked for McCain/Palin! My way of doing my part of sending the
message that NO ONE is ENTITLED to my vote, but rather I OWN MY VOTE,
and it’s sure not going to Sen. Obama and his corrupt thugs! Here’s
hoping that each of you do the same.

Congratulations Ryan! Your vote should help guarantee you job security in Iraq for a looonnng time.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Why should we rely on the government to give us job security?
October 13th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Thanks for you vote Ryan2483, the losing camp will surely appreciate your unwavering dedication to stubbornness and denial. Bye now.

Why should we believe filthy republicans about anything, when they’ve driven this country into the ground? The republican party is a stinking disease, and its ideas are even stinkier.

Like most Americans that constitute the ever-growing class of “disillusioned” voters, I watched the recent “town hall-style” debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. As expected, my perspective of politics and its participants remained the same: no matter how many direct questions you ask a politician, regardless of party affiliation, the answers you receive are nothing more than generalized sound bites. The New York Times described the debate as “ninety minutes of forced cordiality,” and I certainly agree. The Boston Globe reported that although the discussion was “mercifully free” of personal attacks, the discussion was also free of much of the tension that generates compelling television. McCain reiterated the value of his experience, his “stay the course” stance on Iraq, and his oil drilling policies. Obama condemned the Republican policies that he believes have led the American economy into its current recession. Based on the debate performances, we really have no concept of how either candidate would work to avoid a pending economic catastrophe. A realistic, well-thought out economic plan is what America needs. Obama’s stance on “predatory lending” – effectively sanctioning payday advance lenders – is not a legitimate solution to the real economic problems we face.

America is rejecting the right wing filth that is McCain’s campaign. Thank goodness. Fuck McCain, and fuck the right.

Be safe ryan2483 and hang in there, we got NObama just where we want him! NObama will be whisked back to the southside of Chicago where he can rejoin his partners in crime and maybe even share a cell with his buddy BIG T!
