WHAT'S IN A NAME?

There's a political fuss going on over one of McCain's people spouting a rant at a campaign event about Barack HUSSAIN Obama. I suppose they think the middle name will make him look like an evil terrorist.

I've never seen John McCain use his middle name SIDNEY. Does it seem effeminate? Or maybe just not macho enough as befits his image.

Get a LIFE folks. Refer to people by the name they want to use. All this other stuff is schoolyard childishness.

DO CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN? OR WOMAN?

It seems that the Clinton campaign has become desperate, and is sending pictures of Obama to an internet political site in the hope of making him appear "subversive", if not downright unpatriotic.

Obama was visiting an African country, and as many politicians do, wore some native garb. Big *&%#@^! deal!!!

I expect this sort of political smear from the Republicans. I hope that my party will operate at a higher moral level, but if they don't, can they win?

If the Democrats become the party of 'swiftboating" as the Republicans are, then what is left for us? 

Ralph Nader the Spoiler

"Rottenralph" Nader, spoiler of democracy and handmaiden of Karl Rove is back to his evil machinations in hopes of prolonging the Bushwar by stealing votes from the Democrats and installing Bush lite in the Oval Office.

Democrats, listen up! If you vote for Rottenralph, you are doing the work of the military-industrial complex we were so eloquently warned about by *Dwight D Eisenhower when he left the presidency.

Democrats, don't be "dumocrats". Vote for the party nominee whoever he or she may be.

 

(I know, a bit over-the-top. Still-in-all, look at the damage Ralph has created by exercising his over-inflated ego)

 

The wisdom of Ike

*In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.                                      The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

 

THE McCAIN PAIN

My mother was a firm believer in repetition being the key to learning. Mother had many sayings, with at least one for any occasion that might arise.

The current bruhaha swirling around John McCain brings 2 sayings to mind.

 

A MAN IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY HE KEEPS

 

AVOID EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF EVIL

 

John, I'll bet your mother said these same things to you.

ARE REPUBLICANS "TORTURED SOULS"?

John McCain: Bush should veto CIA fifth-degree bill

by Mark Silva

Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war who suffered torture at the hands of his North Vietnamese captors, said today that President Bush should veto a bill that would prohibit the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrorgation techniques on prisoners.

Here is a man who knows firsthand about torture. You might think he would at least have strong moral objections.

To make the world a better place, we must be better than the world. Evil will never rout evil.

Bloomberg says U.S. is going "third world"

MAYOR RIPS FEDS' 'THIRD WORLD' $TANCE

http://www.nypost.com/seven/02152008/news/regionalnews/mayor_rips_feds_third_world_tance_97740.htm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm glad to hear someone with the stature of Mayor Bloomberg saying what I have been saying for a couple of years now. Look at the evidence. We are massively in debt. Our infrastructure is crumbling. We are constantly at war. Our government more and more resembles fascism. Our political system is more and more radicalized, especially with noxious religious overtones. Need I say more? How much time do you have?

Our military strength is damaged.

 

Our economy is struggling and is headed toward recession.

 

Our debt to foreign countries is at an unheard of level.

 

Our industry is dying in the face of foreign competition.

 

Our citizens are confused as to where we are and where we are going.

 

Our self respect is diminished

 

On and on we go. Down and down we go

This pusillanimous pas de deux brought to mind an old saying about the difference between Democrats and Republicans. 

Democrats fall in love.

Republicans fall in line
