Went into the bedroom to set the alarm clock, and saw the following above the crawl on Fox: "Obama: 'Bitter' remark was boneheaded."

3 weeks before the election, he's bringing up the bitter clingers and Murtha (*spit*) is talking about how racist his Pennsylvania constituents are. Yeah, sure this is a party that's winning. They're already spinning their loss. Obama must have some really disturbing internal polls.

On election night, I'm going to drink a lot of Maker's Mark and pretend it's Keith Olberman's tears.

/They taste so sweet.

I noticed in the last thread some comments were about how the Republican party has come undone, blah, blah. Folks, when you are in party, you are in a diverse group of people that hopefully can get a political or economic objective accomplished. It is not necessary that you like or even approve of every single one of the people in the party. In fact, that is almost impossible. Don't even try.

Seriously, sometimes I think playing in bands all these years has helped me in this regard. I play music with people that I disagree with on almost every single issue, even with people with whom I have not spoken for years. But, to the listener, it all sounds like music and no one knows the difference.

Well I have to bid all you good folks good night, but after tonight's debate I'm feeling much more confident that I'll wake up on November 5th to the MSM telling me that I'm a RACIST!

And that's a Good Thing...

re: #113 Palandine

3,500,000,000,000? Really? You should probably go count em all to make sure that's accurate ;)

here's one for the history buffs:

History repeats itself, The Panic of 1819

The panic of 1819 followed a period of high foreign demand for American farm goods and thus of exceptionally high prices for American farmers. The rising prices for farm goods had stimulated a land boom in the western United States. Fueled by speculative investments, land prices soared.

The availability of easy credit to settlers and speculators, from the government (under the land acts of 1800 and 1804), from state banks and wildcat banks, even for a time from the rechartered Bank of the United States, fueled the land boom. Beginning in 1819, however, new management at the national bank began tightening credit, calling in loans, and foreclosing mortgages. This precipitated a series of failures by state banks, and the result was a financial panic. Six years of depression followed.

I came across this in a book I was reading tonight and the last part sounded eerily familiar

Posted this on an earlier thread -- but everyone had moved on to the debate threads while I was composing ("It sure is quiet out there." "Yeah! Too quiet.") I wanted to get all y'alls take on what I observed. And to ask, have any of you folks noted similar stuff?

= = = = = = = = = =

Last night, I was to meet some associates @ Borders Books.
There was a shrine (disguised as a book display) to the Obamessiah right at the entryway -- it featured at least 10 different books about BO. In the tweaked view of Borders, these were "balanced" by 1 copy of the McCain autobiography.

My curiosity piqued, I went further into the store to look at a display titled "Know Before You Vote" -- it featured a plethora of moonbat screeds about how bad America is and how bad Republicans are and . . . well . . . it was if the Kossacks were in charge of displays at Borders. There was, however 1 title that featured Governor Palin -- from an author who'd fit right in at the HuffPo or DU.

So I looked around some more -- the leftward slant was all over the store.

Just as I feared. Just remember that reading through it is for a good cause. Well, unless Obama wins, then you're better off dropping out and letting the govmnt take care of you, but I digress...

I got up at 3am to watch the debate, I had to walk away after the mediator asked them to be specific on what spending they would cut. Obama was up first, he danced around it per usual. Then it was McCain's turn, the moderator interrupted him and told him to be specific, so Mac rattled off a bunch of things he would cut. Right then and there Obama lost the debate to me and Scheifer proved beyond any doubt that MSM is in the tank for Obama. Or maybe I was just groggy and didn't hear all the useless programs Obama said he would cut so he didn't need to be told to be specific.

On the upside my daughter just told me they're learning the song American Tears in music class and are trying to get approval to sing it at the welcome home ceremony. She also gets to share in the honor, that's how she describes it, of saying the Pledge of Allegiance over the school intercom.
After hearing MSM report on the debate I was disheartened, then my daughter gave me hope that all is not lost.

re: #137 nigella

Guiliani and Thompson

Those were my first picks as well.

Perhaps the best news for McCain is the rating he received from independent voters. Among respondents not identified with either major political party, McCain was judged tonight’s winner, 51-42 percent.

re: #128 Sharmuta

OK - got the sticker done.
Kind of cheated though.

I bought a package of 'magnet sheets' (from Staples) - they're 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of refrigerator magnet material.
Took my McCain bumper sticker, and stuck it on the sheet. Trimmed around the sticker, leaving a border.
I drive about 130 miles a day - a lot of people see my car.
I'll put the sticker on the car when I leave the house, and remove it once the car is parked - lessening the chance of it being keyed while sitting unattended somewhere, but still broadcasting the message "you're not alone" when I'm on the road.

Ya think ............

re: #159 HHC 2-2 SCR

You took the words right out of my mouth...I spend the debates screaming at my TV, the moderators are ALL so obviously giving Obama every advantage and bowing to his every word. Everytime McCain says something, even when Obama has already gone first, Obama has to jump in at the end with just "one last thing on that topic," so that he always gets the last word - it's not supposed to work that way, but the moderators have let it happen every time, so that McCain always gets called a liar and then told it's time to move on. I think McCain made some good points tonight, but he needs to scream so much louder about the Ayers/Wright issue and the socialism that Obama wants to impose, it's like these topics are just by-the-ways rather than the MAIN problems with Obama.

Mine was McCain. I was a supporter of his in 2000 as well. I didn't think he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning the primary and I was obviously (yet, happily) wrong. It'll be nice to see him come from behind again to win one in a few weeks.

re: #171 Price_of_Peace

Yeah, considering how little he gives to charity - and Biden gives less than 1% of his income! - it never fails to amaze me how quick he is to offer to give everyone else's money away. And the fact that no one sees this for the flat out socialism that it is just frightens me - are Americans really this misinformed? Or just this gullible? I mean, are his wealth reallocation policies even constitutional?

Last thought on optimism:

I hear some talk that Obama won the debate, Obama is going to win, etc., but here's the thing: Practical optimism is more fun. Practical, meaning that it does allow you to drop your guard, but you think you are going to win. In combat, it has been recommended "Do not anticipate the outcome of a fight." Why? Because you are too busy getting ready to flinch, or the equivalent. It distracts you from your productivity, your focus, your perception, it drains your energy. That is why "defeatism" in any form, is self-fulfilling. Focus on winning, and only winning. That includes defense. If you do lose, it will not be your fault, and then you can focus on your new mode of fighting in the Resistance. And you will be as focused in that fight as you were in the previous one, because that is your habit. You are not like the interpreter on the stairs in Band of Brothers.

re: #178 legalpad

Wonderfully said!

Just a thought...any living creature is in some way not ridiculous. It is, after all, a survivor. Most species that ever existed are long since extinct. Now, consider the hippo. It sits there in the mud, eyes above the water and maybe nostrils. Crocodiles swim and slither in the vicinity. Why do they leave the hippo be?

Because it's fat like a weight lifter is fat. Because its funny pairs of peg teeth are plenty sturdy enough to paper-punch right through a croc's hide, and they're driven by massive jaw muscles. Because you don't want to make a hippo mad, in short.

re: #146 least

The leftist slant isn't at Borders, it is at the publishing companies. Regnery is really the only publisher that will do 'right-wing' books, which is just a trickle in comparison to the vastness of the rest of the industry. There are books published as counter-points to the leftist flood, but only a few from notable authors and pundits make their way up the bestseller lists, while authors like Naomi Klein are actually mandatory reading on college campuses.

re: #163 Killer Tomato

Sad that it comes to that. I live in Ground Zero, Obamaland. I would put the sticker on but I just don't trust the "Party of Peace" Democrats around here. I know how anarchists, krunchies, and old demented hippies can get especially with their history of violence.

I was just watching this again, and when McCain brings up ACORN and is quite seriously talking about it tearing at the "fabric" of society (not sure what his exact words were), Obama broadly smiles, then actually starts laughing. There is an audible chuckle.

I guess it's just me, but I think that's a big mistake on Obama's part. He looks like a punk, laughing off the concerns of a statesman.

I hope they use it in an ad about ACORN. (I half wish McCain would have asked him what was so damned funny about voter fraud.)

From the Chicago Sun Times? Oh yeah, that's believable, but either way you're right - it don't mean diddly - Obama started in Ayers' living room. He did that for a reason: Obama belongs in Ayers (and his ever so charming wife Bernadine Dhorn's) living room.

Obama did not know how to handle the simple fact his policies have consequences. I am sure the ideas sound really great at cocktail parties with MoveOn.org and Mr. Soros, or when he and his 300 advisers are crowded around the "Round Table of Camelot" back at BOHQ. But, when someone who will actually be harmed by his policies puts him in a position he cannot wriggle out of or explain away.....that is priceless.....THANK YOU Joe, you may have turned this election.

That is kind of strange because here we have both: Kerry stickers and nauseating glut Obama stickers. We get some Mass people moving here. Lots of new LA people. When I first moved here it was Texas folks. Which is why we turned purple in Colorado.

I have an uncle, aunt, and cousin in Mass. The uncle is an old Westinghouse engineer (retired) that last I heard leaned right -- back to supporting Reagan.

But the Kerry stickers are very typical around here. Along with the "angelic figure" Obama stickers. Gives me ulcers.

Spoke with some folks in Moonbat Minneapolis in August. They are hardcore Dems. Politics came up and they said: "We just can't get excited about this years election." My translation: They can't bring themselves to vote for Obama. This view may be more widespread than we can possibly know given the unbelievable bias in the deadstream media. I found it very interesting.

re: #17 opnion

Oh this is good, an apologist for Obama, from the Chicago Sun Times on with Greta.
He says that Obama did not launch his career in Ayers living room.
No it was a Ramada Inn & the Ayers coffee was three days later.
Ok, isn't that a difference without meaning?

It's actually confirmation of the point of McCain's criticism. It confirms that Obama was in Ayers's and Dohrn's living room, right at the outset of his political career. I wonder if the Ayers kaffeeklatsch was Obama's first-ever political fundraising event, or first-ever meet-and-greet? That is, something qualitatively different from the Ramada event.

I am (slightly) encouraged that there are actually several McCain stickers on the cars parked at the campus where I teach. I'd say the ratio of Obama to McCain stickers is certainly no more than 2 to 1.
True, it's not exactly Berkeley, but.............

Oh. I am of course excepting the faculty parking lot from my informal study. No McCain stickers there.

Couldn't find any references trying to explain "Joe Six Pack" for rooskies, but "Hockey Mom" HAS been picked up by the Russian press... maybe because it's a lot simpler to translate. (It's хоккейн& #1072;я мамочка, hokkéinaya mámotchka)

And wishing he would say, "that's still a business that ends up passing their costs on to their customers or firing people because you're forcing them to add an expense, it doesn't matter how big the business is, we all pay for it in the end."

re: #252 Surfer Doc

/but everything he said was true

What interests me is how Barry Zero clearly showed his socialist side, and his classic "liberal" defeatism, if you paid attention to his ideas, instead of his delivery.

"Sacrifice"
"Fairness and Justice"
"We'll have to pay for it somehow"

He put a lot of verbal adornment on it, but his message was basically "America: BOHICA, because we can't do it, unless you give me your wallet."

His biggest mistake may have been in his closing remarks. "We all are going to have to sacrifice." This is something the elitist types never seem to understand: Never, EVER get up on the national stage and ask an American to Do Without. You might be right as rain, but we instinctively respond VERY BADLY to anybody in authority, especially a guy with an ivy league education and a cushy job, getting up there and telling us that WE THE PEOPLE are going to have to give up anything in service of your abstract social engineering plans.
