CORN has major problems when CNN is trying to expose their fraud.
Brian Moller says ACORN has its own quality control, has fired workers in the past, including workers in Gary. Despite its past, the Obama campaign gave $800,000 to ACORN to help fund its primary registration drive, and ACORN has endorsed Barack Obama for president. The Obama campaign reacted this afternoon, saying, it is "committed to protecting the integrity of the voting process and said it has not worked with ACORN during the general election."
They're throwing out 5000 new applications.
Leaders of ACORN in the effected areas should be charged with voter fraud and sent to prison! The leaders are the proverbial fox guarding the hen house.

Let me get a harsh truth on record, posted at the end of a prior (and very long) thread:
Our knowledge of Acorn's interference in our electoral process is only partially known at this point, but even so it looks very bad. Election results in many battlegrounds will be close, and with Acorn's interference, very possibly invalid.
Our country is not a Banana Republic, though, and this cannot be tolerated. Fixing it, though, will take time, to uncover and cleanse the system of the fraud and all the fraudulent "voters."
Therefore the elections should be postponed, say, a month or two to allow time for a more complete investigation and de-lousing of the pool of "registered voters."
In addition, a Class Action Lawsuit by We, the People of the United States against Acorn and its supporters and affiliates should be initiated to bankrupt the fuckers.

Well, I heard it, and I couldn't believe it what Obama was saying. It was a typical 1930-40's "step and fetch" routine. I'm surprised that he didn't call his mother "mammy."
His "southern" accent was so pronounced in that speech it was just silly. In PA? What a fool.

It is clear that people that are working for ACORN are getting paid big money, just follow the money trail..and previous associations.
In the mean time, there is a new movie(mocumentary from Mexico) coming up in the next few days, called "Fraude Mexico 2006" it's about elections in 2006 and how the leftist (Manuel Lopez Obrador) got the election stolen by Conservative (Felipe Calderon)
[Link: www.latimes.com...]
Lopez Obrador went on record saying that he was the "Messiah" sounds familiar [Link: www.cbn.com...]
It's no surprise to me the debut of the movie is just days away, just like the next "W" with Brolin.

Thanks for the link Sharm...excellent.
Polls always release results from a respondent pool, but they do not tell you - although the NCPP says they always should - what proportion of people agreed to answer the poll. If a lot of folks refuse to take part in the poll, that's an important piece of information. If Gallup is getting pushback from people they are trying to contact, they may be interpreting that in a way that may skew their political weighting.
Now one thing I do not buy, is the idea that Obama has 51% support. Not that he could not get that much in the vote, but if that is true it would mean that his support has risen six points in three weeks. What would cause that to happen? It's not going to come from the democrats, he already had their support. It's not that republicans would swing over and support Obama, the numbers tell us that and in any case, the parties are very partisan this year. And the independents have not changed in Obama's favor, in fact he's a point weaker with them than he was September 14. So what's driving the bigger numbers? The only explanation is that more democrats in the poll are being counted, which means that Obama's growth is artificial. In real terms, it means that republicans have become more passive, and the balance reflects a loss of McCain support on both tracks, his own support and Obama's.

They need to hammer this. Say things like "after the 2000 election, you'd think that we would have done something to clean up the process. Not just making sure every legal vote is counted, but also making sure that NO ILLEGAL VOTES ARE COUNTED." How anyone could get away with being in favor of voter fraud boggles the mind. Voter fraud enabling (no IDs) is part of the Democrat platform, right? Or is it so fundamental a principle to them it doesn't need enumeration in the platform?

It was racist, my post was parody of what if Palin was speaking to a bunch of rednecks and talking about brats. The media would be all over her. But I bet we never hear about Obama's remarks.

Obama's Mathemagics
To kick off our show tonight, Mr. Obama will give 95% of American working families a tax cut, even though 40% of Americans today don't pay income taxes! How can our star enact such mathemagic? How can he "cut" zero? Abracadabra! It's called a "refundable tax credit." It involves the federal government taking money from those who do pay taxes, and writing checks to those who don't. Yes, yes, in the real world this is known as "welfare," but please try not to ruin the show.

Sanity Check:
How come no one brought up a probability.... that the markets are reacting to a possibility that the United States may have a socialist, leftist government (just think the power triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi and Reed) for the first time in history? That would be a major game changer.
All this talk by Barack Hussein Obama regarding the class warfare, taxing the "rich", evil corporations", the distribution of wealth can not instill confidence among the business class and the investors, and they are reacting. With the US market being dominant globally, what you have abroad is a domino effect.
If McCain wins, the markets will bounce back, if Obama wins - we're in for one wild ride. Last time the world went through a similar economic situation, we had Hitler and WWII with a Holocaust.

re: #38 jorline
Thanks for the link Sharm...excellent.
Polls always release results from a respondent pool, but they do not tell you - although the NCPP says they always should - what proportion of people agreed to answer the poll. If a lot of folks refuse to take part in the poll, that's an important piece of information. If Gallup is getting pushback from people they are trying to contact, they may be interpreting that in a way that may skew their political weighting.
Now one thing I do not buy, is the idea that Obama has 51% support. Not that he could not get that much in the vote, but if that is true it would mean that his support has risen six points in three weeks. What would cause that to happen? It's not going to come from the democrats, he already had their support. It's not that republicans would swing over and support Obama, the numbers tell us that and in any case, the parties are very partisan this year. And the independents have not changed in Obama's favor, in fact he's a point weaker with them than he was September 14. So what's driving the bigger numbers? The only explanation is that more democrats in the poll are being counted, which means that Obama's growth is artificial. In real terms, it means that republicans have become more passive, and the balance reflects a loss of McCain support on both tracks, his own support and Obama's.
Your bold is exactly what the PUMAs have been saying.
If the sample is skewed, the results are skewed, and I find it highly interesting that gallup is not releasing the internals until a week later. That's really disingenuous, IMO.

re: #42 spudly
They need to hammer this. Say things like "after the 2000 election, you'd think that we would have done something to clean up the process. Not just making sure every legal vote is counted, but also making sure that NO ILLEGAL VOTES ARE COUNTED." How anyone could get away with being in favor of voter fraud boggles the mind. Voter fraud enabling (no IDs) is part of the Democrat platform, right? Or is it so fundamental a principle to them it doesn't need enumeration in the platform?
Democratic platforms tend to have planks that would embarrass civilized people.
For instance, in 1856, the DP firmly supported the Fugitive Slave Act, which allowed Southern slaveowners to retrieve their absconded property from wherever they might be found.... even in the lobby of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, if it should come to that.
It gets better.
"Resolved:
1. That the Federal government is one of limited power, derived solely from the constitution, and the grants of power made therein ought to be strictly construed by all the departments and agents of the government, and that it is inexpedient and dangerous to exercise doubtful constitutional powers.2. That the constitution does not confer upon the general government the power to commence and carry on a general system of internal improvements.
3. That the constitution does not confer authority upon the Federal government, directly or indirectly, to assume the debts of the several states, contracted for local and internal improvements or other state purposes; nor would such assumption be just or expedient.
4. That justice and sound policy forbid the Federal government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to cherish the interests of one portion of our common country; that every citizen and every section of the country has a right to demand and insist upon an equality of rights and privileges, and a complete and ample protection of persons and property from domestic violence and foreign aggression.
5. That it is the duty of every branch of the government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that no more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of the government and gradual but certain extinction of the public debt.
6. That the proceeds of the public lands ought to be sacredly applied to the national objects specified in the constitution, and that we are opposed to any law for the distribution of such proceeds among the states, as alike inexpedient in policy and repugnant to the constitution.
7. That Congress has no power to charter a national bank; that we believe such an institution one of deadly hostility to the best interests of this country, dangerous to our republican institutions and the liberties of the people, and calculated to place the business of the country within the control of a concentrated money power and above the laws and will of the people; . . .
"
Yes, that really is a Democratic Party platform. Seriously. No foolin'.

however they did want to know how I felt about Obama. That was my limit. I told the Agent in no uncertain terms that my thoughts were not pertinent to their investigation, that this was America and the last time I checked I was allowed to think whatever I wanted without being questioned by the Secret Service. In fact, even if I had said what she claimed, that isn't a threat. I told them (again) and my husband verified that the statement reported by Obama's volunteer was a lie. I asked them if there was a tape of the call and they said no. I said, "So on the word of a ticked off Obama supporter you are on my porch with no other evidence and you want to question me about my THOUGHTS!?"
SNIP
They then said they were trying to do me a favor, that they came to me first before “embarrassing you by going to all your neighbors and family”, another threat? I told them to be my guest and talk to whomever they wanted but they weren’t going to investigate my thoughts on my porch.
They also informed me that it would be easier if the next time a supporter calls me I just say "Yeah sure count me in, or just hang up" apparently so she won't get her undies in a bundle and give them more useless trips. Yeah right. I said "Look, someone calls me unsolicited on my cell phone to ask me to support their candidate and I can't tell them why I don't?" I said I was sorry they made a wasted trip but if they had a problem with some made up lie they needed to go talk to her about it because it wasn't my fault they had to drive from Houston for nothing.
At one point I went inside and got a notepad to record their badge numbers and they refused to show me their badges. They had done the quick flip when they arrived. I asked for a card and the female Agent refused to give me one stating “You’re not going to get a card.” The male Agent gave me a card and told me I could contact Houston with any questions.

I understand they had to investigate to determine if there was any truth in the accusation. What I find particularly disturbing is the way they treated the woman. They want to know her private political views, threaten to go to her neighbors and friends and ruin her reputation, and advise her to lie to these Obama creeps so she doesn't upset the apple cart. They don't have to censor her if she can be re-educated to censor herself. If the leftists can silence decent people who oppose their agenda, they can take over our government, ensconce a permanent Democratic Socialist majority, and stomp on the Constitution like Ayers stomped on the flag.

I'd want them not to treat that American citizen as villain of the piece, after it must have been obvious to them that they were handed a made-up case; I'd at least have expected them to give out their warrant cards when asked, because thats what they are obliged to do, aren't they?
What should really be checked however, is - who got them there in the first place? Who was the B0-official who blew this up into something like a threat to the life of B0?

The latest question is: are tickets good or not? This stems from a Ratdog.org member PSU Kelly attempting to buy a ticket despite already being over the allowed limit, only to pull up a seat she thought she had. She contacted Ticketmaster and a representative did in fact confirm since she purchased more then two ticket limit her orders were cancelled. She immediately informed fellow concert goers of the dilemma for the tickets were cancel with an unusual twist. While PSUKelly knew she broke the rules, she thought she was in the free and clear as she had the hard tickets in her hand. She was not contacted by Ticketmaster for several days after the cancellation was made, when she then received an email telling her what she already knew. Other Ratdog.org members claimed the same had happened to them.

1858 DP Platform, further snippets:
Resolved, That we reiterate with renewed energy of purpose the well-considered declarations of former conventions upon the sectional issue of domestic slavery, and concerning the reserved rights of the states—
1. That Congress has no power under the constitution to interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several states, and that all such states are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs not prohibited by the constitution; that all efforts of the Abolitionists or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences, and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions.
2. That the foregoing proposition covers and was intended to embrace the whole subject of slavery agitation in Congress, and therefore the Democratic party of the Union, standing on this national platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts known as the compromise measures, settled by the Congress of 1850—"the act for reclaiming fugitives from service or labor" included; which act, being designed to carry out an express provision of the constitution, can not, with fidelity thereto, be repealed, or so changed as to destroy or impair its efficiency.
And they had the gall to conclude:
Resolved, finally, That in view of the condition of the popular institutions in the old world (and the dangerous tendencies of sectional agitation, combined with the attempt to enforce civil and religious disabilities against the rights of acquiring and enjoying citizenship in our own land), a high and sacred duty is devolved, with increased responsibility, upon the Democratic party of this country, as the party of the Union, to uphold and maintain the rights of every state, and thereby the union of the states, and to sustain and advance among us constitutional liberty, by continuing to resist all monopolies and exclusive legislation for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many, and by a vigilant and constant adherence to those principles and compromises of the constitution which are broad enough and strong enough to embrace and uphold the Union as it was, the Union as it is, and the Union as it shall be, in the full expression of the energies and capacity of this great and progressive people.
Right. They wanted to sustain constitutional liberty by preserving the institution of slavery.
Are Obama, Jackson, Sharpton, et al., aware of the history of their own party?

re: #108 Kosh's Shadow
See the previous thread. It looks like that Iranian cargo ship was a big dirty bomb to be set off near Israel.
Link
What is the source for these items I wonder?
...Following this initial rebuff, the pirates broke open one of the containers and discovered it to be filled with packets of what they said was “a powdery fine sandy soil” .......sixteen of the pirates subsequently died,...
...the same does not apply to the Russians and so it is that we learn the real story of the MV Iran Deyanat. She was an enormous floating dirty bomb, intended to detonate after exiting the Suez Canal at the eastern end of the Mediterranean and in proximity to the coastal cities of Israel. The entire cargo of radioactive sand, obtained by Iran from China (the latter buys desperately needed oil from the former) and sealed in containers which, when the charges on the ship are set off after the crew took to the boats, will be blasted high into the air where prevailing winds will push the highly dangerous and radioactive cloud ashore...
...This ship was nothing more nor less than the long-anticipated Iranian attack on Israel. Not the expected rocket attacks (which could be intercepted by the Israelis) but an even more deadly and unexpected attack by sea..
I've been keeping track of this story since it happened and seen nothing of these particular items. The only source I can locate right now is bloggers quoting other bloggers quoting other bloggers.
Does anyone know of a legitimate news source quoting these particular items?

Good afternoon everyone!
Whew, exhaustive day trying to keep up with a 2 year old. Took her pumpkin picking with the mandatory hay ride, to watch a cranberry harvest, and to watch the rescue of this years wayward celebrity Manatee, who was captured in Sesuit harbor, and is as we speak on his way south, to Sea World in Florida for rehab. I have petted horses, dogs, chased frogs, fed ducks and bought cranberries to make cranberry sauce with to go with a chicken dinner tonight. I'm pooped. Thank god hubby has her now for a few hours, the all important ice cream foray with grampa. Hopefully, they go to Connecticut for ice cream. I need a break!
If anyone is interested in the Manatee rescue, it will be up on:

TEHRAN (AFP) — Pirates released an Iranian ship that had been hijacked off the Somali coast in August, state news agency IRNA reported on Friday.
"The ship Dianat was released on Friday morning after seven weeks of ... negotiations with Somali pirates," the state-owned Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines said in statement carried by the agency.
"All 29 members of the crew are safe and sound and the ship is sailing towards international waters," it said.

Not those items. I still think whatever is in the ship is radioactive, though.
The more I think about it, though, trying to set off a dirty bomb at any distance from the target would contaminate a massive area, if it worked at all and didn't just contaminate large areas of the ocean, so I might fall back on my original idea that it was aimed at a western port.
I think a lot of countries would be upset at Iran if fishing in the Mediterranean was unsafe for a few thousand years.

What?
Nixon won the election in 1960 if you disregard the voter fraud from Chicago and Texas. He opted to not contest the election results because he wanted America to at least appear united under a new president. Nixon also invited Martin Luther King to the White House during the Eisenhower administration.

Not those items. I still think whatever is in the ship is radioactive, though.
The more I think about it, though, trying to set off a dirty bomb at any distance from the target would contaminate a massive area, if it worked at all and didn't just contaminate large areas of the ocean, so I might fall back on my original idea that it was aimed at a western port.
I think a lot of countries would be upset at Iran if fishing in the Mediterranean was unsafe for a few thousand years.
Oh, I agree. It for sure was not iron ore as claimed.
I was just surprised to see such claims as I outlined being made and couldn't find a source for them, except for an on-line magazine. I figured their credibility was kind of shot as they maintain Pres Bush was responsible for blowing up the WTC.

Effects of a Dirty Bomb
Perhaps the biggest misconception about dirty bombs -- and there are many -- has to do with their effects. Although radioactive material is utilized in constructing them, they are not nuclear or atomic weapons. They do not produce a nuclear chain reaction and, therefore, the employment of such a device will not produce an "American Hiroshima." In fact, there can be a wide range of effects produced by a dirty bomb depending on the size of the IED and the amount and type of radioactive material involved. Environmental factors such as terrain, weather conditions and population density would also play an important role in determining the effects of such a device.
Generally, a dirty bomb that uses a large quantity of highly dangerous radioactive material such as plutonium-238 or cesium-137 will produce more (and stronger) contamination than a device that uses less material or material that is not as radioactive. However, the most highly radioactive materials are the hardest to obtain and the most difficult to work with. Some materials are so dangerous that even suicide bombers would die before they could use one if they were not properly shielded. For example, in September 1999, two Chechen militants who attempted to steal highly radioactive materials from a chemical plant in the Chechen capital of Grozny were incapacitated after carrying the container for only a few minutes each; one reportedly died.
There are, however, many more-common, less-dangerous materials, such as americium-241 or strontium-90, that would be easier to obtain and work with. It is therefore widely believed that terrorists wanting to construct a dirty bomb would be more likely to use one of them.
According to experts from organizations such as the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, unless a large quantity of a very highly radioactive material is used, not many people will be immediately killed by the radiation released by a dirty bomb. Rather, the initial casualties will be a result of the explosive effects of the IED, just as they would be in a conventional IED attack without a radiological component. While exposure to very strong sources of radiation at close range could cause fatalities, a dirty bomb by design disperses its radiation over a larger area. Therefore, most of the deaths caused by the radiation in a dirty bomb will most likely be from causes like cancer that will take years to develop. Most people who quickly leave the area contaminated by the dirty bomb will have minimum exposure to radioactivity and should not suffer permanent health consequences.
Keep in mind, however, that a dirty bomb is intended to cause a panic -- and the explosion of such a device in a heavily populated urban area could very well result in a panic that could kill more people than the IED or the radiation it disperses.
It should also be noted that the radiological effects of a dirty bomb will be larger than the killing radius of the IED itself, and will persist for far longer. The explosion from a conventional IED is over in an instant, but radiation from a RDD can persist for decades. While the radiation level may not be strong enough to affect people who are exposed briefly in the initial explosion, the radiation will persist in the contaminated area and the cumulative effects of such radiation could prove very hazardous. (Here again, the area contaminated will depend on the type and quantity of the radioactive material used. Materials in a fine powdered form are easier to disperse than solid blocks of material and some radioactive materials possess a far longer half-life than others.) Due to this contamination, it will be necessary to evacuate people from the contaminated area in many, if not most, cases involving a dirty bomb. People will need to stay out of the area until it can be decontaminated, a process that can be lengthy.

Your entire campaign has centered around trust and change and this could completely tarnish your reputation. You, Obama, need to get on TV RIGHT NOW and explain the situation. This cannot linger in hopes of it dying down and it needs to be addressed before the McCain camp attacks. I would suggest you telling the American people, that you are appalled and don’t condone this activity and that you will put up you own money (personal or campaign) to ensure that no this situation is fixed. You must explain what is going on and separate yourself from this activity……NOW!

I relayed the information because I wanted to demonstrate how McCain's reaction was being spun by the press in my part of the country.

ACORN and Voter Fraud
By Robert from Mableton, GA - Oct 9th, 2008 at 8:42 pm EDT
Comments | Mail to a Friend | Report Objectionable ContentI think it is very important for Barack Obama to address this issue before it gets out-of-control. If Obama has paid them to register voters and if ACORN has been shown to do illegal things this could blow up in the campaigns face. I would strongly suggest that the campaign does not dodge this issue. If ACORN is doing illegal things, Obama should get out from underneath it.

TEHRAN, Iran: Iran's state radio says Iran has paid Somali pirates to secure the release of 29 seamen and their cargo ship hijacked in July.
The radio was quoting Mohammad Hossein Dajmar, head of Iran's Shipping Line as saying that Iran had to pay ransom to the Somali pirates to get the crew and ship back despite fears that it may set a bad precedent.
Dajmar on Saturday said Iran had been in telephone contact with the pirates to arrange shipments of food and water to the Iranian seaman before they were finally released Friday.
The pirates on Friday freed 29 Iranian seamen and their cargo ship, Iran Dianat, that was hijacked in July.

The immediate damage of a bomb will be familiar. The radiation will become apparent soon and leak even faster. It won't even take lethal or toxic levels of radiation to create the panic. Just the fact that radiation was measured, and images of first responders going through DECON on the evening news.
And yes depending on the type of material and amount cleanup will be the main issue.

October 10, 2008CLEVELAND - A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.
"Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

From the link I posted above, for those of you without the inclination to click on it...
Let me give the press a clue. Two months ago Republicans felt Obama would make a bad president, and they do today also. They felt he was wrong on the issues, was not experienced enough to be president, and lacked the character and integrity to be president. Their feelings about Sen. Obama have not changed in the last week.And yet, they've gone month after month without verbally threatening anyone. Focusing on issues, character, and experience. Now the press seems to think that, after all those months of acting reasonable, Republican grass-roots supporters have suddenly turned into raving maniacs that scream death threats? No, there is a new player on the scene. Democratic dirty astroturf.
This is a planned effort by Democrats. Attend Republican rallys pretending to be Republican grass-roots supporters, yell vile statements, and hope they stick to the Republicans. IS the press in on this? I know they aren't investigating it.
Republicans will to have to do that themselves. Raise the alarm that there is a dirty astroturf campaign being run by the Democrats. Keep and eye (and ear) open at rallys for people that yell these things, and find out who they are. The only way to stop this is to expose it.
Astroturf doesn't grow in the daylight.

Sorry about he link. Think disruption vice destruction.
Thanks for this. I do understand the dangers, which is why I pointed out the problems with fishing, if the bomb were detonated even 50 miles offshore. It would be a huge area contaminated, and the contamination would not just end up in Israel, Gaza, etc, but would probably reach Jordan and southern Lebanon.
Even a little contamination would frighten people so much that the area would be uninhabitable, not due to actual radiation, but due to fear. And agricultural products would be useless; no one would eat them. Same for fish, even if there were no detectable radiation from them.
As for suicide, I think Ahmadinejad and the mad Mullahs are perfectly happy to send their population to their 72 virgins; Islam would survive, and they'd be martyrs in paradise.
If a dirty bomb were set off in NYC, there probably would be comparatively few people with real health effects, but NY real estate would be worth less than when it was bought from the Indians.

What if the government would ask for elderly to do decontamination, esp if they were already terminal? Before you slam me for this, this has been a consideration for other projects, using the elderly as crewmen for the atomic powered plane (50's design and program-never completed). Would expect to see a Kennedy-esque 'ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country' moment. It would solve two problems at once, the insolvent social security program and elderly living much longer than they did in the 40's. The democrats would salivate over that one.

I forwarded the Hillbuzz link you posted yesterday to my brother. He was down, and he needed some cheering up. I posted on the other thread that I still believe in my heart that we are going to win this thing. The disconnect between the polls and what really seems to be happening to too great in my opinion.

re: #257 Outrider
Where is the source they opened a container? They had the special locks that couldn't be opened without blowing them. The pirates were somewhat reluctant to do that.
If they didn't open a container, but still got sick, then the ship is very hot, or at least part of it. Maybe the bad containers are in the bow, with several rows of ones filled with leaded concrete to shield the crew. In any case, it would be enough to detect from submarines, UAVs, helicopters, etc.

It also becomes a financial catastrophe. Nobody talks about the drag on our economy defending ourselves from islamic terrorists. A dirty bomb in NYC? We're talking trillions and trillions here.
Not just for your economy - for the rest of the world as well.
NYC is one of the most important, if not the most important money markets of the world. The consequences for the other money markets and thus their economies would be incalculable.
The Iranian and egyptian mullahs are already jubilating about the financial crisis, as it is - you can imagine what would happen in the ME if a dirty bomb were to hit NYC ...

Paraphrasing Hitchens: "That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without proof."
That guy had no outside links or evidence to back up his claim. Just because he typed it up and put it on the web doesn't make it true.
Claiming that there's a conspiracy (especially without proof) only compounds the problem. The stupid republicans getting hysterical at these rallies are not going to magically disappear if you imagine them to be Obatron plants. Also we are going to look even dumber by concocting a conspiracy to blame our poorly informed voters on some secret liberal plan.
Given the kind of behavior the Dems have engaged in this campaign cycle, I think the guy is on to something. The McCain campaign needs to do a better job of screening questions at the townhalls. If they do that they may very well find something like this is going on.

TEHRAN, Iran: Iran's state radio says Iran has paid Somali pirates to secure the release of 29 seamen and their cargo ship hijacked in July.
The radio was quoting Mohammad Hossein Dajmar, head of Iran's Shipping Line as saying that Iran had to pay ransom to the Somali pirates to get the crew and ship back despite fears that it may set a bad precedent.
Dajmar on Saturday said Iran had been in telephone contact with the pirates to arrange shipments of food and water to the Iranian seaman before they were finally released Friday.
The pirates on Friday freed 29 Iranian seamen and their cargo ship, Iran Dianat, that was hijacked in July.
[Link: www.iht.com...]
I'm really intrigued now; will that ship now sail to Iran - or will it be allowed through the Suez Canal?

He said the crewmen were 'safe and in good condition' onboard the Iranian vessel, which was expected to reach Oman's capital Muscat by Monday.
On August 21, pirates hijacked the ship, along with its crew and 42,500 tons of minerals and industrial products in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia's coast.
The pirates, who usually take hostages to receive a good ransom, finally released Dianat on Friday after seven weeks of negotiations.

The Chicago machine delivered massive numbers of dead voters for the Dem ticket.

President Eisenhower wanted Nixon to contest the election, on the basis that JFK/LBJ had won through fraud, but Nixon declined because he didn't want to put the country through something so divisive.

Agree in principle with what you say.
And its no good howling about conspiracies without any proof.
However - being a bit suspicious that such astroturfing might be possible, and that vigilance might not be a bad idea is certainly not a bad attitude to have.
I'm just reading this amazing autobiography 'Out of the Night', by jan Valten, which a Lizard recommended. Its by a German communist who ended up in the USA and wrote this in 1941.
What he describes of his activities as a communityst organiser under the direction of the COMINTERN is precisely what you can observe today, with ACORN for example ...
Thus - vigilance now is betetr than regret afterwards.

Fund didn't get out 15 seconds of commentary without that candyass douchebag Levenson interrupting him. What a fuc*ing asshole Scott Levenson is; this guy represents the a truly disgusting organization that is conducting voter fraud in the US.
Disagree on a dynamic that has hobbled self-destructively well mannered conservative spokespeople for years. If anyone has his opportunity to speak taken away in a debate by his opponent, the asshole is the person who refuses to politely assert himself and claim his time.
Bush remained in the defensive crouch while the MSM was happy to step in and write their own Iraq narrative, and now the economic narrative, through the end of his presidency. McCain is in the defensive crouch as the nation is on the brink of literally being stolen away from us by leftists and their uneducated, useful idiot allies. We cannot afford to have independent rightwing voices silenced as easily as they are in even friendly venues.
Fund disgusted me when given precious time on Hannity to present the thesis from his book, 'Stealing Elections'. When the Dem participants interrupted (as always) to demand support for his claims, Fund was totally unprepared; unable even to present footnotes of evidence from his own work! All Fund could do was make a lame promise to email his cites to Colmes after the show. What a waste of an opportunity we can ill afford to squander =(

Archimedes Sat, Oct 11, 2008 1:36:52pm |
Okay, another point! :D
I think we should all keep in mind how the msm continually evades any negative evidence concerning Obama and conversely how they magnify the slightest bit of negative evidence concerning McCain or Palin. This goes on day-after-day, week-after-week, month-after-month. They even create things out of whole cloth (e.g. the charge or racism against Palin).
This sort of behavior creates pent up frustration, which has to explode. This is only natural and it's quite right to be outraged. What the msm then does is pretend to be shocked that anyone is outraged, and they turn themselves and their favorite candidate into the victims. Conversely, they believe vilifying Palin and McCain is just dandy. I mean, they really are good at smearing innocent people.
The solution to all of this is to do honest and objective reporting. We know that won’t happen in this day and age, so we have to keep on fighting them, and not back down because of their underhanded tactics.
What keeps me on track are the following:
1> I always follow reason. I apply logic and look at the evidence always.
2> Individual rights is my standard for proper government. I use that template all the time to evaluate the goodness or badness of a government policy.
If people did these things, they wouldn’t be bothered by the media’s craziness, in that they wouldn’t back down from a principled fight. They’d fight with more determination. In addition, if a mistake is made concerning the evidence or logic you make sure you correct it, so that you’re always just in your claims, because you want to be right, and you want a clear conscience.
Just some thoughts I thought I'd pass on.

My sister is union and she has never voted for a Republican. She said there is no way she's voting for the O.
I just received an e-mail from my pacifist candy-ass union president who was asking for the telephone bank volunteers (for gee, guess which candidate). I don't get involved in these things because of the hate mail it generates from colleagues (yes at a college), but responded to the e-mail with a very short comment: "sure, and when I call, I'll tell them to vote for another candidate."
Well, did I get an earful. Some democracy. I'm sure that I'm not alone ,but boy, unions can certainly misrepresent their members and try intimidation if they don't go along.

[Link: www.gop.com...]
2. VOLUNTEER. The donation of your time is the most critical. Even 1 hour of time spent volunteering at your local Victory Office can help turn Minnesota RED! Making telephone calls, dropping literature, and more! This is a great chance to meet other Republicans in your area!
Make phone calls from a phone bank to people in your area who share your values and concerns. Go door-knocking to hand out materials and share your values and concerns with your neighbors. Drop literature or post flyers around your neighborhood. Fundraise to support candidates
[Link: www.mngop.com...]
3. GET CREATIVE. Make your own "Why I'm voting for McCain/Palin" video! Post it on YouTube, then use the "Posted Items" area at the bottom of the group's page to share it with our group!
4. SIGN UP FOR GOP MOBILE UPDATES.
Get breaking news messages and action alerts!
[Link: secure.gop.com...]
**Also, don't forget to set aside some time to volunteer during the 72-hour Get Out The Vote (GOTV) drive before and on Election Day! We'll need POLL WATCHERS (to work to prevent voter fraud!), phone callers, lit droppers, sign wavers, etc.**

The Chicago machine delivered massive numbers of dead voters for the Dem ticket. And the rural counties in south Texas did their part for "Landslide Lyndon", by coming up with more Dem voters than they had residents. Either state would have carried the election for Nixon. President Eisenhower wanted Nixon to contest the election, on the basis that JFK/LBJ had won through fraud, but Nixon declined because he didn't want to put the country through something so divisive. No good deed goes unpunished.
JFK got his term shortened unnaturally, and Nixon got Watergated. I guess they both did not do well.

Dems are betting around half of the strategic farm on psyops tactics and a friendly MSM, about the only way you could possibly get such a far left candidate within a mile of the Oval office.
Despite our horror at the lack of McCain aggressivity, the best setup for a Republican win this year involves a conservative electorate energized through fear of an Obama win (to get the highest turnout of the base to the polls), an independent voter force completely UNAFRAID of the Republican party's candidate being a stealth far-right activist, a high margin of victory seeming guaranteed to Obama (to de-motivate newly registered, unreliable Dem youth & inner city voters on election day), and a candidate who seems the saner, more moderate, and safer of the two.

If they didn't open a container, but still got sick, then the ship is very hot, or at least part of it. Maybe the bad containers are in the bow, with several rows of ones filled with leaded concrete to shield the crew. In any case, it would be enough to detect from submarines, UAVs, helicopters, etc.
That aspect has always been a point of curiosity for me. None of the crew got sick or died, but several pirates did. None of the containers were opened; so why did the pirates get sick and die? Perhaps there was an area of the ship "off limits" to the crew?

For a little humor Iowahawk explains the financial crisis:
[Iowahawk]
Roots of a Crisis
...[Jim] Treacher requested a loan for the purchase of a pornographic DVD, explaining that he was temporarily short of cash and had various biological-related needs. At various times in my life I have been pornless, so I was naturally sympathetic to his plight... After writing out a loan contract specifying my customary interest rate of 8.5% per hour, I handed him a crisp $20 bill and we shook hands on the deal. Luckily, I always carry a bottle of Purell.
The next day I telephoned Mr. Treacher to inquire about the status of his loan and a review of the DVD, but there was no answer. By then his principle had grown to $153.74... on the afternoon of October 3 and checked the debt calculator... Mr. Treacher's debt had by then increased to $243,768,526, and I knew it would be difficult for him to make payments even if he threw in the trailer and his storage shed.
Monday October 6 we decided to call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi... she said that Mr. Treacher's $73 billion debt was probably too small to warrant a government bailout, especially with our spotty record of campaign contributions... we have spent the last week contacting various state and federal officials, the EU central bank, George Soros, and Goldman Sachs on the cell phone we found in Speaker Pelosi's office. Unfortunately the only result has been thousands of dollars of roaming charges for Mrs. Pelosi...

Just one more example of the festering Antisemitic burre blanc bubbling just below the top crust of the liberal pot pie:
I was in Yellow Springs this morning (Yellow Springs: Dayton, Ohio's little Bezerkly; home of the thankfully defunct Antioch College of hemp basket weaving and the Weathermen Fan Club) on business, and found myself in the middle of a street fair. I waded through, knee-deep in hippies, wearing a "Shalom Ya'll" tee-shirt, as is my wont. A fellow, dressed head to toe in black, pointed at my shirt and snidely questioned how one wishes shalom in Kentucky. I've run into this passive-aggressive pattern before, when a lefty tries to start an argument by asking a question in a cocky and belligerent fashion. That way, in their minds at least, since it was only a question, they are not the aggressor.
I replied that it's just a way of spreading the shalom to as many as possible, trying to be a benign and as personable as I could. He replied by wishing me "Assalaamu 'Aleykum." Now, this guy is not arab, and he spoke with no accent I could perceive. It is extremely unlikely he's a native arab speaker, yet he chose to respond to my benediction not with a reciprocal "shalom," or even the more likely "peace," complete with hippie hand guesture. No, he chose the language spoken by those who would like to wipe every last Jew off the map of the middle east, and enslave the rest under dhimmihood, or the language not spoken by the vast sea of moderate Muslims who refuse to speak out against the butchery of their coreligionist.
Or maybe I'm just being a bit too touchy...
Not.

Today I met and talked to an employee at a store where I was shopping. She was African American and we got into a little conversation about a t-shirt that somehow morphed into her mentioning how she was voting for Obama, saying also that "I just can't stand how McCain talks in his speeches" or something to that effect. Anyway, we had a very nice conversation, I was interested to hear her perspective on the whole situation and how race was a too-large part of this election.
She mentioned that she was originally a Hillary supporter and was not pleased that Hillary had been thrown over for Obama. I told her about the PUMA groups and how there were millions of very pissed off women who were astonished and angry about a man with no experience being chosen over Hillary, etc. She'd not heard of PUMA but seemed delighted by the idea, and I told her to go online and look them up.
We also discussed Ayers; I mentioned that Ayers, the man who helped launch Obama's career in his very own living room was on the cover of Time Magazine on 9/11 standing on the American flag. She didn't know about that, and the look on her face was one of genuine surprise and disgust. Her family was military, and I would assume pretty patriotic. I laughed when she told me that her mother doesn't like Michelle Obama, and one reason is that she thinks her clothes look homemade, and she should know better than to look like that when her husband is running for President. lol
I'd love to believe that she would vote McCain over Obama, but I don't think she will; hopefully I gave her some things to think about.

I don't remember the number, but yes, there were. A larger crew than usual, and more Iranians; most cargo ships have mostly third-world or near to it crew.

14 according to this report...
The MV Iran Deyanat departed Nanjing, China, July 28, and, according to its manifest, planned to sail to Rotterdam, where it would offload 42,500 tons of iron ore and "industrial products" purchased by an unidentified “ German client”. The ship has a crew of 29 men, including a Pakistani captain, an Iranian engineer, 13 other Iranians, 3 Indians, 2 Filipinos, and 10 Eastern Europeans, stated to be Albanians

Today I had an epiphany:
McCain is trying to run his campaign by some sort of political Geneva Conventions. The Dems are not. When it gets to down and dirty fighting, the honorable guy loses, all too often.

The reporting on this story is incredibly inconsistent. Or maybe just incredible.
From your link,
The pirates on Friday freed 29 Iranian seamen and their cargo ship, Iran Dianat, that was hijacked in July.
From an earlier story:
On August 21st, 2008, the MV Iran Deyant, 44,458 dead weight bulk carrier was heading towards the Suez Canal. As it was passing the Horn of Africa, about 80 miles southeast of al-Makalla in Yemen, the ship was surrounded by speedboats filled with members of a gang of Somalia pirates who grab suitable commercial ships and hold them,, and their cargos More.. and crews for ransom. The captain was defenseless ...
[snip]The MV Iran Deyanat departed Nanjing, China, July 28, and, according to its manifest, planned to sail to Rotterdam, where it would offload 42,500 tons of iron ore and "industrial products" purchased by an unidentified “ German client”. The ship has a crew of 29 men, including a Pakistani captain, an Iranian engineer, 13 other Iranians, 3 Indians, 2 Filipinos, and 10 Eastern Europeans, stated to be Albanians.
When hijacked - discrepancy.
How many Iranians - discrepancy.

The day before the town hall debate, McCain gave an awesome speech in which he laid the blame for the crisis squarely on the Democrats & Obama. He laid it all out in detail, especially how Obama received piles of money from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, how he had crooked executives from FM & FM advising his campaign, and how Obama had helped block any legislation to reform the agencies.

Mob politics:
For the record, my inclusion of the Chicago political primer was so that the Obama-Rezko-Giannoulis connection could be seen in context. Why would Obama endorse a mob banker for State Treasurer, going against the expressed wishes of the leader of his party in the statehouse? The same reason Rezko approached the Broadway bank for a $13 million loan for his real estate projects. In Chicago, it’s not who you are but what you can do for me. The payoff for Obama was Giannoulis raising a ton of money for him in his presidential campaign. This was set up by Obama’s endorsement of Giannoulis for treasurer which in turn was set up by almost certainly a generous loan arrangement on Obama’s first townhome run through Broadway.

It is a great example of someone who believes in all of the liberal politicians who regualte every aspect of our lives until that regulation effects them. Then all of the sudden they realize why all of the Cuban and Vietnamese populations are majority Republican. This Democrat regulation sure seems a lot like socialsim or communism if you have experience either.

re: #486 MrPaulRevere
The GOP desperately needs to rid itself of the seniority system it has in place for choosing candidates. The Democrats chose to abandon this model and instead picked the most viable candidate. Think about it.
Kerry most viable? He was just the last one standing out of a pack of losers and nutjobs

You're facing "reality" as it appears to be, in the form of skewed polls and a full-court press by the MSM. You're buying into their reality, and you're helping to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. How about putting yourself out there, your time, your money, and trying to make a difference, instead of encouraging everyone to give up?

And where are his fellow republicans, Mitt Romney, etc. etc. Not a peep of support for McCain. They're all in hiding counting their money.
I think this is the saddest election in US history.
I agree with you about McCain. He does not look like he is all in to win this.
However Romney has been campaigning for him. This is the guy that McCain lied about supporting Iraq time tables, just one week before the Fla Primary. When McCain was asked at the last debate who would oversee the econnomy in his administration , he named Obama supporter, Warren Buffet, not Romney.

A few thoughts on negative campaigning.....1) It should be done in a skillful, artful manner and it should start early. You should attempt to paint a picture of your opponent. 2) It can and will backfire if the attacks are perceived as desperate and heavy handed. Sen. McCain's well known distaste for negative campaigning is now coming back to haunt him. He didn't want to embrace it when he should have, and when he has to embrace it, he executes it horribly.

Just read an interesting piece from the Minneapolis StarTribune:
This taken from their blog:
McCain: Obama is not ‘an Arab’
October 10th, 2008 – 5:46 PM by Pat DoyleGayle Quinnell, 75, of Shakopee, approached McCain near the end of his hour long give and take with the crowd and told him she didn’t trust his opponent Barack Obama because “he’s an Arab.”
McCain shook his head and, taking the microphone from her, said “no, ma’am. He’s a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.”
After the town hall meeting, Quinnell elaborated on her position in talking to reporters.
“I don’t trust Barack Obama because he’s an Arab,” she said. “He’s a Muslim. I’m afraid if he ever got to be president what would happen to this country.”
Obama is a Christian.
The responses to the post are interesting including this observation:
opinionator says:
Ok, let’s just recap.
Quinnell, referring to Obama: He’s an Arab.
McCain: No ma’am. He’s a decent family man…
Seems McCain has a pretty low opinion of Arabs!

DailyKos would be screaming that the election was being stolen, and demanding armed revolution.
The DNC would be calling ACORN and demanding "action now!"
The MSM would be having violent conniption fits as they tried to conceal the fact ("What polls? We haven't taken any polls!")
Biden would be demanding Congressional investigations.
And The One would be holed up in Tony Rezco's joint on the Lake, in a closet, whimpering and sucking his thumb. (Which, if the fool actually wins the election, I am convinced will be his reaction to the first genuine crisis that we get hit with.)

re: #511 opnion
I agree with you about McCain. He does not look like he is all in to win this.
I agree about Romney, who has worked very hard to support someone who allied with a spoiler (Huck) to count him out.
However, do you know how many conservative base Republicans would feel more justified and comfortable taking the position they did in the 2006 midterms, and simply refusing to vote for a maverick Republican like Mac if he was up by 6-8 points, and they thought he'd take the contest anyway? As Hannity says, fear is a great motivator to the base, especially when the opposition is as far-left as Obama, and the polls remain balanced so high in Barry's favor.
Nagging fears of Obama, and greater confidence in Mac's moderateness, create the best November 4th equation given a fight as close as it is, in a poor year for Republican hopes for retaining power. (And remember independents tend to be mavericks themselves, who are reactionary in nature... all-out attacks on Dems and Obama may in fact flip them enough to turn them against a party they don't entirely identify with or trust.)

I've been arguing with leftists quite a bit lately, and I'm amazed at the rationalizations I come across.
Here is what one guy said when I said the economic collapse was largely caused by the government forcing banks (mortgage companies) to make bad loans. We'd had a bit of back and forth already.
But, here is the last one he sent:
i dont know where you get your information from
but it is pure propaganda to attempt to blame the economic mess and bank failures on the poor and the then minority demsyour president, in both 2001 and 2002 crowed about the rise in home ownership as signs that he knew what he was doing was right for the economy....this despite warnings about the sub prime market
what you and the rest of the wingnuts in this country are is pure unedulterated evil
who the fuck told financial institutions to bundle bad paper than sell that as stock to anyone they could talk into buying it?
but go ahead...blame the victims
you have now lost the middle class (whatever was left of it)
your party is dying a quick death
the reagan revolution and voodoo economics is over
it is time to return to the smart and sound policies of roosevelt
no one is buying your shit anymore
you and your ilk destroyed my beautiful country
you will all be deported to mexico, where you shipped all our jobs
you douche
I fired off a response to him. I didn't attack the "poor" or "minorities", he just threw that in for some odd reason. But, I just reaffirmed my points and told him he's a wuss. :)

I did. Saw it the first night. I did it for my country. The movie is not good. However, I wanted to make sure that Maher's movie didn't beat it out. I may go back to see it this weekend, too--or at least buy tickets--then sneak into the Russell Crowe film.
I beg to differ. The movie is not great -- as in side-splittingly funny from start to finish, as were Tropic Thunder or Airplane! -- but it is good: funny in places and emotionally moving in places.
The Happening is now out on DVD. If you want to study a movie that is categorically NOT GOOD, waste a rental payment on that one. It ought to become required viewing in film school, as a cautionary tale to all aspiring filmmakers.

Most of them were voting for McCain. I talked to a woman who'd voted Democrat all her life and was voting for McCain this year. She knew 5 people on her street and was doing the same. I talked to people who knew about ACORN, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Soros. I talked to people who are damned worried about American becoming a socialist state.

re: #566 Archimedes
"Return to the sound policies of Roosevelt?"
I hope he meant T.R., not FDR.
As Jonah Goldberg pointed out in a recent column, FDR essentially continued the highly interventionist social spending policies of Herbert Hoover, except on a more extravagant (and expensive) scale. And in doing so, probably prolonged and deepened the Depression.
The actual recovery from the Great Depression, in terms of business volume and valuation, really didn't occur until the Eisenhower Administration. Even wartime spending by the government didn't do much to improve the civilian economy, as it was financed primarily by war bonds (i.e., people loaning the government money). This can give the appearance of prosperity- for a while. But in the end, it all comes down to deficit spending.
Which is why whenever some self-styled "intellectual" brags about "FDR's wise fiscal policies", or tells me that the United States has fought (insert name of war here) for profit, I don't know whether to laugh, or drill a hole in their head to let some air into the vacuum between their ears.

15, 20 years of incredible hardship and sacrifice. And even though we did elect a guy who was more or less a Socialist, he was still a decent wartime President. Today, so many of us squawk and start demanding handouts at even the merest hint of deprivation.
re: #612 eon
"Return to the sound policies of Roosevelt?"
I hope he meant T.R., not FDR.
As Jonah Goldberg pointed out in a recent column, FDR essentially continued the highly interventionist social spending policies of Herbert Hoover, except on a more extravagant (and expensive) scale. And in doing so, probably prolonged and deepened the Depression.
The actual recovery from the Great Depression, in terms of business volume and valuation, really didn't occur until the Eisenhower Administration. Even wartime spending by the government didn't do much to improve the civilian economy, as it was financed primarily by war bonds (i.e., people loaning the government money). This can give the appearance of prosperity- for a while. But in the end, it all comes down to deficit spending.
Which is why whenever some self-styled "intellectual" brags about "FDR's wise fiscal policies", or tells me that the United States has fought (insert name of war here) for profit, I don't know whether to laugh, or drill a hole in their head to let some air into the vacuum between their ears.

That's a lot of screen reading, did it not tire your eyes?
I like paper better, especially for catalogs of structural connectors for instance. (Simpson strong-tie a case in point). It is way quicker to find the right piece of structural metal by using an index and flipping pages, than by using a mouse and hunting around a website.
Then if you print the page, it might come out fuzzy.

True about text vs. technology but I think if you closely observe - it takes some contemplation - you will find that thought and awareness at their origin are wordless anyway.
So if you can get to that point, it will not matter if you use a computer instead of a book.
One cannot pass on culture without texts. One cannot be rational without words. One cannot communicate precisely without words either. And human achievement was impossible without words and texts. I don't think that is going to change anytime soon.

A substandard high School student gets an academic scholarship to Occidental College in California on to study in New York on way to President of Harvard Law Review , submitting no articles.
The Kicker, he gets paid to write two BIOS , without a Bio & fast tracked to the cusp of the presidency. He did not do this on his own

I did just that today, for what good it will do, but at least I voiced an opinion instead of just sitting and fuming about it.

Palandine goes to the gun show.
...and picks herself up a nice older (serial number around 130,000) Ruger 10-22 with walnut stock, scope, and 2 mags--$210.
Looking forward to taking it to the range on Monday, which I have off to celebrate my Italian-American heritage. ;)
Good for you. And congratulations on getting a 10-22 with all those goodies so cheap.
People are invariably shocked when they ask me, "What sort of gun should I get for (fill in the blank- survival, foraging, training, etc.)", thinking I'm going to recommend a 5.56 or 7.62 semi-auto rifle, 9mm pistol, or whatever. And I tell them, "For general, everyday use, a good-quality .22 rifle or pistol, of whatever type you personally like best."
The ammo's cheap and plentiful (and you can store a lifetime's supply in one drawer of a file cabinet- or a big tackle box), it doesn't beat you to death with recoil or deafen you with blast, most quality .22s are highly accurate, and unless you live in Governor Palin's neighborhood a .22 will take care of most "chores" other than actual big-game hunting. For squirrels and rabbits, the .22 is the logical answer, especially if you intend to eat Rocky or Bugs after the fact- anything else destroys too much meat with anything but a head shot.
I'm looking for a good .22 rifle myself, as my last one went away after I concluded that it just wasn't working right any more (old .22). Due to my "position", I'm sort of torn between the AR-7 Explorer (now made by Henry) and the Marlin 70P Papoose. (For my purposes, a breakdown .22 is preferable to a "one-piece".)

(Bear in mind that she was middle-aged when she moved here and her entire family is in Bolivia.)
I would add that on forms that ask ethnicity or race, she refuses to check "Hispanic." Instead she goes down to the "other" category and writes AMERICAN.

Plus, Thumper and Rocky the Flying Squirrel are plentiful and tasty, if it comes to that.

i don't know if everyone paid attention to the primaries Hillary verses Obama. the Media played the same game, everytime Hillary was in a state they would say she was losing. it was a Manipulation not truth.
As many here noted at the time, the media treated Hillary like a republican.

What gets me is how many people are buying into their lies. I had to talk my mother off the ledge today because of it. What I want to know is why so many people are so eager to throw in the towel? Fuck that -- I am ignoring the MSM and looking forward to election day -- the day John McCain WILL WIN. Of that I have no doubt.
People -- I live in Maryland in one of THE most liberal counties (Montgomery) on planet earth and this is where I see yard signs for McCain. Putting out a sign for McCain is BEGGING for your car to be keyed and possibly worse. Yet, many, many people have done so. That in and of itself speaks volumes to me about this election.

Ditto. Working class and agricultural. LOTS of Kerry signs last time around. Not so many Obama signs this time.
Rural people vote, in large numbers, regardless of weather or whatever. They feel it's their duty. They WILL NOT vote for a candidate in favor of infanticide (not just abortion) and crippling gun control. Won't happen.
The media are lying.
It's about half-and-half here in south central OH. Northern part of the county (Fairfield) is mainly ex-Columbusites (who moved down her to escape high taxes and a higher crime rate in the state capital, and commute to work there every day)- lots of signs for The One. Southern half (mainly farm families who have been here forever)- McCain/Palin signs everywhere. Here in Lancaster, itself, the northern part of town (upscale suburb inhabited by ex-Columbusites)- solidly O. Central part, where I live- about three McCain/Palin signs for each O sign. Southern half of town- McCain/Palin all the way.
I'm surprised that the candidates haven't been here. (O gave a speech at OU-Athens' branch campus north of town- last month.) If any place could be defined as "ground zero" in a supposedly "equally-divided" country, I'm sitting in the middle of it right this minute.

re: #673 wrenchwench
Mexico is an ally of the USA. They have a big problem with corruption, but apparently so does the USA. One reason I've been posting a lot of articles in the Spinoff Links that have to do with Mexico is to point out to those who are unaware, just how close and complicated the relationship between the two countries is. I realize your opinion is strongly held, and I have no chance of changing it, but you are being very rude.
Wench,
I sometimes wonder just how much of an ally Mexico is, because she sure knows how to use the USA to her advantage. If it were not for the pressure valve that is our northern border, Mexico would be in constant revolt, even though it is in a constant state of internal chaos -- they have yet to resolve their problems in Chiapas, Guerrero and other states that are a hotbed of insurgency and narcopolitics. As much as I love Mexico and hold her close and dear to my heart, I cannot accept the fact that change comes too slowly and with such a high price. For every two steps Mexico takes, she takes one step backwards. I would like to seal the border for several reasons, one of them being that perhaps Mexico would have no choice but confront her demons, slay her dragons, or suffer the same cycles of political turmoil that brought about the 1910 Revolution, the Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968 and the New Year's Day Zapatista insurgency [SubCommandante Marcos's little circus].

If a person is scared out of voting, or votes for himself or a third-party candidate, they are objectively voting for Barack Obama. And whiny little kittens that are trying to discourage Republicans and PUMAs are objectively campaigning for Obama.

Your heart is good, you understand 1/2 of the drug problem is here with the demand, and it is the Democrats and the loon left who are 90% of the users, they too lust for your illegals to leave Mexico and work here so they can vote for the commie Democats here in the U.S..
The good people in Mexico have few good choices, 100 years of the same rich families owning everything has caused the good people to want to leave and find a life somewhere else. At one time there were ways for them and the U.S. to find enough work for all, but the commie Democrats in the unions took the union wages to high and broke all the heavy unionized work places, as you see with GM and Chrysler.
Now the elites in Mexico and the elites here in the U.S. pit you and others from Mexico against we remaing loyal Americans. In fact of the matter you and the good people in America and Mexico should band together and end it there and here at the same time.
Much more can be done working together than split up like we are.
so say tfk, member of the Minute Man Org. , Numbers U.S.A., Federation for Immigration Control, and descendant of Mangus Colorados an Apache chief who fought and lost the first unlimited illegal immigration from Mexico.
fair is fair, so say some
TFK, I think that's maybe the first thing of yours that I've completely understood, and it was great, just great.
US citizens who self-identify as citizens/residents of another country, as El Lizardo mejicano did with his nic and with his post # 539, are a mystery to me. I don't get it.
Either we are good enough for citizens to proudly say, I'm a US citizen, an El Lizardo americano, or we're not. And if we're not, they why are people here?
At any rate, El Lizardo - we will have to get to know you a little better, I think.

Then before you start trashing someone for being part of the illegal Mexican immigrant problem, why don't you find out whether he is, in fact, part of that problem, or merely someone expressing pride in his heritage?

....do you know what Mejico does with people entering their country illegally?
They do exactly what they beg us NOT to do with their own citizens that they have helped and aided to get here illegally.

My "problem" is with those folks who are citizens embarrassed by this country, instead of proud to be a US citizen
MICHELLE OBAMA ,,,,, PAGING MICHELLE OBAMA !
YES YES YES YES YES!
Exactly, she is the #1 person right now embarrassed by this country.
Can you believe?
I'd like to see her try to live the life she lives here anywhere else in the world. It wouldn't happen, just wouldn't.

Yeah, I do. I spent several days in a Mexico City jail cell with one. What's your point besides trashing Mexico and a new poster?

The upside to my neighborhood is that I'm in walking distance of more than a dozen bars. That could come in handy after November (to be honest, it already comes in handy).

Like I said, we need to get to know you.
Many of us are wary of US citizens who appear to have greater pride or liking for somewhere else.
My neighbors are Mexican, here legally, not citizens - when a tree fell in our yard during a recent storm, they were the first ones over here checking to be sure we were OK.
My "problem" is with those folks who are citizens embarrassed by this country, instead of proud to be a US citizen.
I did not subscribe to this great blog to be insulted or to attack anyone around here, I came in peace as I stated before, I am a proud to be an American living in the greatest country in the world, if anyone wants to attack me or mock me for being a Mexican go ahead..show you great intellect..OUR country is about to be taken over by a Socialist and you are worried that I am not American enough..how pity.

re: #795 ploome hineni
Why are you so pissed off, we are all from someplace else. I can understand if they are here illegally and with that I can understand your anger. My Grand Dad was from Italy may wife's Father was from Greece and my Moms family came over on the Mayflower. I am proud of my heritage but I am a red blooded American

And with money, the dog dances. Mexico, like all other sovereign nations has the right to deny immigration or resident alien status to whomever. In order to get myself legal there, I had to jump through a number of hoops, get a decent immigration lawyer and prove I was not a deadbeat. It is no secret that there is a screaming problem with the USA's laxity in enforcing her immigration laws, but why do you persist in hocking the chainek about this?

re: #610 ploome hineni
when someone is an American citizen, and talks about Mexico as 'my country'...I want to know why he is here
I don't see why this is such a mystifying turn of phrase.
Immigrants from non-anglophone countries who don't come to the U.S. until adolescence or later may speak English with conspicuous foreign accents for the rest of their lives. (Which is, I will say very f*cking emphatically, an entirely separate matter from speaking English "well" -- you can speak English as a Second Language with perfect fluency, be quite capable of producing written English at a post-graduate level*, and still have a strong "foreign accent.")
And immigrants with strongly accented English will, inevitably, get used to hearing "Where are you from?" So after a few dozen iterations of:
"Oh, I cong fro' New Jork, but I juice to leeb een Tesas!"**
"No, I meant, like, where are your parents from?"
...it may become second nature to just skip the rigamarole and say "I'm Bolivian," or whatever.
Nothing odd about it, in short, and to hint that it's somehow indicative of disloyalty to the USA is just incredibly rude.
* P.S. When I say "written English at the post-grad level," I'm talking about (say) mid-20th-century standards.
** The phonetic spelling isn't meant to belittle anyone's English, truly -- I mean, you should've seen some of the looks I got in Moscow every time I opened my mouth... after four years of college Russian. (Some sounds are just really hard to articulate if you didn't grow up hearing and speaking them.)
