Who did this?

Racism is alive and well and living in the state of Alabama. Why do you think Alabama voted for McCain? The states just below the Mason-Dixon line just don’t seem to be able to turn the page on racism. Go here to look at what I found in my front lawn when I arrived home this afternoon from work. Not a burning cross; nevertheless a sign of hatred.

Palin is a ding-a-ling

Listen to this audio clip of a portion of the Katie Couric interview of Sarah Palin. Prove me wrong when I say: “You’d have to be mentally impaired to believe Sarah Palin is capable of being the Vice President or potentially the President of the United States of America” after listening to this air-headed anwer to a very important question by Couric. Did Sarah really say that? What did she mean? Shouldn’t we expect more from a woman who could one day be the next President of the USA? Are we comfortable with the dumbing down of the Presidency? Was she the most qualified Republican woman John McCain could find? This isn’t a beauty queen we are voting for. Give me a break! How do Republicans spin this interview with Katie Couric? They cannot very well claim Couric is sexist! Maybe she’s just a part of the liberal media elite Rethugs like to claim when they are on the losing end of an argument. Facts are a stubborn thing aren’t they? It is the Republican philosophy of deregulation that got us into this financial meltdown. John McCain championed this philosophy in his 26 years in the Senate. He is a “Johnny come lately” to banking reform and regulation. Now that the sky is falling he is in a panic. Trickle down did not work and it is not clear if a bailout of Wall Street will keep us from falling off the cliff. We are in for tough times and the Republican party owns this mess. They broke it. They own it.

Racism rears its ugly head

It seems racism is alive and well. Read this. It appears young Republicans learn well from their elders. A former executive director of the Pennsylvania Federation of College Republicans, wrote on his Facebook page in late July that Obama has “a pair of lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the shores of Miami (and probably would.)” The young thug apologized for the remarks after he was caught. This just goes to prove that racism is alive and well in the good ole USA. I’ll not soon forget the night I was on a gay chat service, Gay.com, in the Alabama State Room. One young gay man made the following comment: “This country is not ready for a coon to be president!” Have we learned nothing in the years since Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights marches of the 60′s? Why is there such intolerance? And what does this bode for gay rights? Is the rhetoric of this campaign fueling the flames of hatred? It appears that Republicans remain bitter after the civil rights legislation of the 60′s. That was when the once solid Democrat South flipped and changed to a solid shade of red Republicans. They cannot tolerate change! It is a word that is difficult for them to utter and only came to the McCain campaign late and when all seemed lost. Now they use it in a mocking fashion against the Democrats. As if to say, we can take what is rightfully yours and pervert its meaning. The only thing more frightening than John McCain as President – is Sarah Palin as President. The Republicans at one time railed against Obama’s perceived inexperience. Now that Sarah Palin is McCain’s VP, the game has changed. Now the Republicans are all about change. In the words of John McCain: “Change is coming to Washington!” The change McCain is offering is hollow and meaningless. You see, McCain follows the doctrine of right-wing Christians. Their bible is unchanging. You cannot add to or subtract from it. To those who follow this doctrine – life begins at conception. There is no room for compromise. There is no room for change. To those who follow this doctrine – Eve was made for Adam, marriage is sacred and meant to bond one man to one woman. There is no room for compromise. There is no room for change. There is a war being waged in this country. To those who follow this doctrine. There is no room for compromise. There is no room for change.

Paris Hilton responds to McCain attack ad

Go here to watch the Paris Hilton response to McCain’s attack ad against Barack Obama. This Paris Hilton response is hilarious. Go girl . . .

Also included on my YouTube video page are recent clips of John McCain offering up his wife for a biker’s beauty contest and calling for congress to “get back to work.” McCain should follow his own advice. A MoveOn.org ad I’ve posted shows his empty senate seat. Where were you John McCain? Also included is a clip of Barack mocking the McCain campaign on their stupidity in regard to tire inflation.

Hillary wins Pennsylvania. So what!

Hillary and her campaign argues that Hillary’s wins in the big states shows that she should be the nominee of the party. What? Does anyone seriously believe Barack Obama (should he be the eventual nominee) cannot win New York, Pennsylvania, and California? Barack is playing it smart. He does not wish to alienate Clinton supporters. So he has refrained from going (to) negative on Hillary despite her playing the fear card against Obama. He wants Hillary’s supporters to become Barack votes in the November election. Let’s face it. This win by Hillary was a foregone conclusion. Despite her time as New York Senator and first lady to a popular Democrat President Bill Clinton, she has been unable to close the deal! Barack Obama has won more states; won more of the popular vote and won more delegates. All this from a one term Black Senator from the state of Illinois who most did not know prior to this campaign! Barack has energized the electorate and brought new people into the Democrat party. Don’t worry about Barack’s electability. If he can do this to Hillary Clinton; just think of what he can do to Republican Senator John McCain. 

Hillary acknowledges Barack is electable!

Despite her relentless attacks against Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton admitted in Wednesday nights debate Barack Obama is electable. Is he electable? ”Yes, yes, yes,” she said when pressed about Obama’s electability during a campaign debate six days before the Pennsylvania primary. In a new poll released this week the majority find Hillary untrustworthy. The results of this poll may be the result of Hillary’s campaign continuing to go negative by launching attack ads against Obama. Many of the new ads concern Obama’s recent “bitter” remarks and Clinton’s belief that people do not cling to their faith in troubled times. My take? If Hillary had clung to her husband during his Presidency, perhaps Bill would not have turned to Monica! Then the Clinton legacy would be untainted and there may have never been a Geo W. Bush presidency. The relentless pursuit of this nomination by Hillary is an attempt to amend the Clinton record. But in her attempt to make it right she is bludgeoning Obama and thereby making it ever more likely the Republicans will hold on to the presidency. Given the chance to attack Hillary in last night’s debate over her Bosnian slip, Barack passed. While Hillary and her campaign play dirty rotten politics – Barack makes nice. They say nice guys finish last. Thus far Barack has managed to win more states, collect more delegates and win a majority of the popular vote. Soon we will know if nasty trumps nice.
