I would pay real money to see Obama put through USMC boot camp. Communicating with less than twenty words? Nobody around with a law degree or leftist street cred? No nuance? Lots of yelling and insults? DIs tearing him to bits?

Real. Money. I'd pay it. I'd give Obama back his tax credit just to see that happen. I would laugh my stupid head off.

Dick Morris on Hannity says it's swinging toward McCain, even young voters. Morris has been sort of pessimistic before. He says a new ad by The nationalrepublicantrust.com is making a big difference in test areas of swing states, but that The National Republican Trust needs money to run it in all the swing states.

Hi and what did His Highness have to say about the new civilian force he wants to form? The notion of which, BTW, I find very scary.

He reiterated the idea, no details, he never has details. Whole thread on it last night. He first mentioned the idea in his July 2 speech (which is not posted on the Obama web site) I've been harping on that since then.

It's not only scary, it's unconstitutional. If he gets a super majority in congress and 2-3 SCOTUS picks it might fly.

As a break from the polls, let's look at some the more unusual and fun indicators of which presidential candidate will win:

(Via Hillbuzz)

(1) The Family Circle Cookie Bakeoff (correctly predicted winner since inception in 1992): Cindy McCain won with her delicious oatmeal butterscotch cookies, versus Michelle Obama’s bitter, clingy arugula socialist shortbreads.

(2) The Nickelodeon Kids’ Poll (wrong last election: kids picked Kerry): Obama won by just 2%, whereas kids voted for Kerry by 17% margin. Obama should have won this won 60-40% at least.

(3) Halloween mask sales (correct as long as we can remember): McCain’s winning, with just a week to go before Halloween. If you combine the McCain/Palin sales, they’re trouncing Obama/Biden – but they don’t even bother to make a Joe Biden mask.

(4) Cabbage Patch Candidate Doll Sales (never done before, prices as of this writing):

$3,100.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Vice President Candidate Sarah Palin
$1,025.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Presidential Candidate John McCain
McCain/Palin total bids: $4,125


$610.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Vice President Candidate Joe Biden
$1,025.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Presidential Candidate Barack Obama
0bama/Biden total bids: $1,635

I didn't, but I did hear Rush talk about the woman who claimed she had to ration milk and snacks for her children. Elsewhere, I read that the woman had a full set of acrylic nails, which can run upwards of $40 depending on where you live.

The "poor" in America, meaning those people like my employees who are working minimum wage jobs, really have no idea what it means to be poor.

They know a little bit about being broke, spending as they do their small paychecks pretty dam quick on expensive hairdos, fancy nails, fast food, flash and bling. They just don't know jack about being poor.

If we really do go into a depression or even just a long recession, they wouldn't have a clue of how to make do.

re: #21 Pawn of the Oppressor

We're all gonna get a free cone of Shit Ice Cream next Tuesday, if the polls are accurate.

Take heart, Grasshopper. It's a Rovian plot, after all. I quote the master:

There has been an explosion of polls this presidential election. Through yesterday, there have been 728 national polls with head-to-head matchups of the candidates, 215 in October alone. In 2004, there were just 239 matchup polls, with 67 of those in October. At this rate, there may be almost as many national polls in October of 2008 as there were during the entire year in 2004.

Some polls are sponsored by reputable news organizations, others by publicity-eager universities or polling firms on the make. None have the scientific precision we imagine.

For example, academics gathered by the American Political Science Association at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington on Aug. 31, 2000, to make forecasts declared that Al Gore would be the winner. Their models told them so. Mr. Gore would receive between 53% and 60% of the two-party vote; Gov. George W. Bush would get between just 40% and 47%. Impersonal demographic and economic forces had settled the contest, they said. They were wrong.

Right now, all the polls show Barack Obama ahead of John McCain, but the margins vary widely (in part because some polls use an "expanded" definition of a likely voter, while others use a "traditional" polling model, which assumes turnout will mirror historical trends but with a higher turnout among African-Americans and young voters).

Go read the whole thing.

As a break from the polls, let's look at some the more unusual and fun indicators of which presidential candidate will win:

(Via Hillbuzz)

(1) The Family Circle Cookie Bakeoff (correctly predicted winner since inception in 1992): Cindy McCain won with her delicious oatmeal butterscotch cookies, versus Michelle Obama’s bitter, clingy arugula socialist shortbreads.

(2) The Nickelodeon Kids’ Poll (wrong last election: kids picked Kerry): Obama won by just 2%, whereas kids voted for Kerry by 17% margin. Obama should have won this won 60-40% at least.

(3) Halloween mask sales (correct as long as we can remember): McCain’s winning, with just a week to go before Halloween. If you combine the McCain/Palin sales, they’re trouncing Obama/Biden – but they don’t even bother to make a Joe Biden mask.

(4) Cabbage Patch Candidate Doll Sales (never done before, prices as of this writing):

$3,100.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Vice President Candidate Sarah Palin
$1,025.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Presidential Candidate John McCain
McCain/Palin total bids: $4,125


$610.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Vice President Candidate Joe Biden
$1,025.00 Cabbage Patch Kids Presidential Candidate Barack Obama
0bama/Biden total bids: $1,635

The biden mask is easy to make at home, just a few hair plugs and some gray paint.

This is scary if it proves to be true:

Iranian Nuke Scientist: Weekend Quake was a Nuclear Test
(IsraelNN.com) A weekend 5.0 Richter earthquake in Iran was actually a nuclear bomb test, says an Iranian nuclear scientist claiming to be working on the project.

The report is an Israel Insider exclusive.

This past Saturday night, southern Iran experienced what was reported as a significant earthquake - a seismic event measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was just north of the strategic Straits of Hormuz, which separates Iran from Abu Dhabi and Oman and which is the gateway to the Persian Gulf.

The report quotes an Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to be working in uranium enrichment for the project, and who said that the "quake" was acutally an undergound nuclear bomb test.

The exclamation button as a report button is unfamiliar to me and to many others. I have never used it.

Go read the whole thing.

Already did. I also hung out at some dem forums and (in between skipping over the bullshit) read extensively on what they're PO'd about, how they feel about the Republican party, what their friends and relatives are saying & doing, etc.

There is a case to be made for "change" if - IF - you're willing to believe that O really is some kind of Magic Moderate who's "cool" and has the chops to be a great President. All you have to do is convince yourself that everything about Obie's background is a lie, smear, or distortion. If you're really sick to death of the pigs at the trough, think our global policies are fucked, and believe Obama's marketing strategy, then you'll turn out for Zero.

And a lot of people apparently believe it.

I'm not sure what will happen. I don't think any result would surprise me, really, but on the flip side of that coin, I'm not going to "hope" for anything, other than that the natives on the bad side of the highway don't go wild and try to break any of my stuff next Wednesday. And I've got enough paint and plywood for a warning sign, and the hardware to back it up, if it comes to that.

I don't think anybody knows for sure what's really going to happen. It all depends on turnout: Which way uncommiteds break, and how many of each candidate's fan clubs actually show up at the polls.

I am looking for thoughts and comments on the Alaska problem. There is a movement in the state to get people to vote for Ted Stevens with the understanding that he will step down or be removed opening the door for Sarah Palin to take his seat. As much as I fear an Obama presidency and though I realize the magnitude of a super majority for the dems in the senate I cannot bring myself to vote for a convicted felon. Does anyone else have similar situations in other states?

This is scary if it proves to be true:

Iranian Nuke Scientist: Weekend Quake was a Nuclear Test
(IsraelNN.com) A weekend 5.0 Richter earthquake in Iran was actually a nuclear bomb test, says an Iranian nuclear scientist claiming to be working on the project.

The report is an Israel Insider exclusive.

This past Saturday night, southern Iran experienced what was reported as a significant earthquake - a seismic event measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was just north of the strategic Straits of Hormuz, which separates Iran from Abu Dhabi and Oman and which is the gateway to the Persian Gulf.

The report quotes an Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to be working in uranium enrichment for the project, and who said that the "quake" was acutally an undergound nuclear bomb test.

I'm too accustomed to having a good-cop / bad-cop situation where one parent does the yelling and the other helps him to see how he can get back in good graces. (We change up the roles just to keep him guessing.) Doing that with no other adult in the house makes me feel a tad schizophrenic. I end up moderating my anger and he gets away with more than he should. *sigh* Parenting is not for wimps!

I crossed the aisle, so to speak, and voted for Hillary in the Texas primary. Texas law bars me from working/volunteering for a non-Democrat campaign for one year.

(My vote for Hillary wasn't a chaos-generating move either. McCain had been decided on by the Republicans at that point, so I thought of it as shaping the contest: there are three, and there must be two, so which of the three do I want to get rid of? Easy answer, "Barry the Liar". Hillary is a known quantity who's narcissism could be worked with.)

For a while, the info page would only come up for those avatars/footballs in the sidelinks, but not in these comments. Now, no info page appears in either context. LGF's front page appears instead.

I've tried turning off NoScript, antivirus, firewalls, disabling add-ons, etc but I can't regain the old functionality. Can I safely try dumping all my LGF cookies? Is that function just gone or temporarily disabled?

I'm curious about one aspect of the LA Times issue. They now say that they can't release the tape without putting the source in danger. Danger from whom? From Obama's minions, or from the peaceful pro-Palestinians who are on the tape?

That was my question too.....Danger from whom? They should tell us who's threatening them. That certainly would be newsworthy.

ggt has some good thoughts. The drunk friend thing, the bad friends - be steady, not too intense - in time even the worst can sober up. I have one that I went through some stuff with age 15 to 19 - I stuck with him (sent some of his former, older, associates to prison), and he is good as gold, and now age 27 and a great Father himself. I could rave on and on about him.

Thank you, legalpad. I have hope most days. I think the stress of the elections, coupled with my husband's imminent move, has made me more sensitive. I'll try to be less intense.

2) Never tell who you voted for.

A good place to start

Leftover from the last thread, but a good place to start.

I'm particularily fond of James Madison in No. 10. Seems to have relevance and gives me peace.

The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity, according to the different circumstances of civil society. A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good. So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts. But the most common and durable source of factions has been the various and unequal distribution of property. Those who hold and those who are without property have ever formed distinct interests in society. Those who are creditors, and those who are debtors, fall under a like discrimination. A landed interest, a manufacturing interest, a mercantile interest, a moneyed interest, with many lesser interests, grow up of necessity in civilized nations, and divide them into different classes, actuated by different sentiments and views. The regulation of these various and interfering interests forms the principal task of modern legislation, and involves the spirit of party and faction in the necessary and ordinary operations of the government.

Not sure about contributions - moot point anyway, I don't have any money. Voting, well, obviously I can vote for whoever I want.

I turned the dial to "Straight Republican" and pressed "Cast Ballot". Voting took me all of five seconds. Yes, the right thing to do was research, pick individual candidates based on their merits, etc. but somebody has to be there to obstruct the Pelosi-Reid (and possibly -Obama) Axis of Pain.

The Israel Insider article suggested that's exactly why they would test in that area, to camouflage it.

Turning on "earthquakes" shows a 4.2 and 5.1 just a few miles from that coordinate.

I'd like to see the seismo traces for those and compare them to a known nuke test seismo trace.

At one time the marching band had a drill team that used wooden rifles and would you believe it, a group of parents put the pressure on to get it stopped!

Guys, this is a link from Redstate from a purported Obama operative. It is very long, but if you read only one blogpost from here until Tuesday, make it this one. It confirms everything I personally, instinctively, have felt is true.

[Link: www.redstate.com...]

Extract:

I’m going to let you in on a few secrets here, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I’m doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama. Another reason for my doing this is that I am lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country. Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job – to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope. I’ve come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance. His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans. It has worked up until now. Joe the Plumber has put the focus on the issues again, and this scares us more than anything. Being in a position to know these things, I will rate what the Obama campaign already knows are their weak links from the most important on down. [...]

4 – The Bradley Effect. Don’t believe these polls for a second. I just went over our numbers and found that we have next to no chance in the following states: Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada. Ohio leans heavily to McCain, but is too close to call it for him. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa are the true “toss up states”. The only two of these the campaign feels “confident” in are Iowa and New Mexico. The reason for such polling discrepancy is the Bradley Effect, and this is a subject of much discussion in the campaign. In general, we tend to take a -10 point percentage in allowing for this, and are not comfortable until the polls give us a spread well over this mark. This is why we are still campaigning in Virginia and Pennsylvania! This is why Ohio is such a desperate hope for us! What truly bothers this campaign is the fact that some pollsters get up to an 80% “refuse to respond” result. You can’t possibly include these into the polls. The truth is, people are afraid to let people know who they are voting for. The vast majority of these respondents are McCain supporters. Obama is
the “hip” choice, and we all know it. [...]

As part of my research duties, I scour right wing blogs and websites to get somewhat of a “feel” as to what is being talked about on the other side. Much of it is nonsense, but there are some exceptions which give the campaign jitters. A spirited campaign has been made to infiltrate many pro-Hillary sites and discredit them. A more disorganized, but genuine effort has also been made to sow doubts among the unapologetically right wing sites such as redstate.com. Don’t you guys get it? This has been the Obama campaign’s sole strategy from the very beginning! The only way he wins is over a dispirited, disorganized, and demobilized opposition. [...]

Grain of salt of course, but you know, I kinda believe this.

Presumably, the mere mention of the tape's existence narrows it down to those folks who were carrying a video camera that night, or who had access to the official videographer if there was one. So anyone who wanted to find the source and do them harm probably could manage that right now.

Second, who would want to find the source and do them harm?

Third, why would they want to do harm to the source any more avidly if the tape were released that they presumably do now? Now that the world knows that the tape exists and knows a little of its content, the Pandora's box is open -- you'd think that if leaking the tape was a dangerous thing to do, then the mere public reporting of its existence would trigger the dangerous response.

Best thing to do is to report that someone else has a transcript of the tape -- not a video copy -- and publish juicy excerpts from that transcript. That puts the LA Times in the position of having to put forward evidence to prove those excerpts are fabricated, which it can only do by releasing the tape (or at least showing it to a trustworthy third party). If they tried to rely on a reporter's assertion that the excerpts aren't on the tape, the two word response to that is "Jayson Blair."

I've noticed that the latest meme from the left is that "Likud controls Israel" and we have to "de-Likudify" our entire "peace process" - and of course, Obama will do this.

I've never seen an Israeli party mentioned by name in leftie/Dem complaints about Israel until this week, and then suddenly in about five different places I see Obama supporters bitching about Likud. I wonder who created this particular bogeyman, and why.

Some relevant quotes from John Adams, 2nd POTUS:

A desire to be observed, considered, esteemed, praised, beloved, and admired by his fellows is one of the earliest as well as the keenest dispositions discovered in the heart of man.

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

Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.

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

All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.

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

Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion... in private self-defense.

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

As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children.

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

Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

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

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

Actually, I've seen Likud described in insulting terms by the U.S. left (as if Likud is an extreme party that is a danger to world peace) prior to this week.

They're mentioning Likud a lot this week because Likud/Netanyahu have the best chance of winning and forming a government in February.

Kadima is neck and neck with Likud in the polls right now, but they don't have much of a chance (if at all) to form a government if they win. This will have an impact on Israel's voters in February.

Meanwhile, the Labor Party is expected to be almost totally decimated.

So Israel will most likely have a strong right wing government soon.

Jimmy Carter revealed the Stealth technology program publicly in order to give the appearance that he was standing strong against the Soviets (when he was, in fact, projecting weakness with all of his foreign policy initiatives). He outed the most important, most secret military-industrial technology development of its time simply to improve his chances of re-election... that, and possibly to give the Soviets a needed heads-up about a game-changing strategic threat. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that the GRU turned him when he was an officer in Admiral Rickover's nuclear Navy.

I am a Navy Corpsman, I was over there in 2006, working on a MITT in Taji (just north of Baghdad). We have many Navy people all over Iraq and Afghanistan and HOA in GWOT assignments. Right now I am in HOA (downrange), not up in Djibouti. This is likely going to be my last deployment before I retire. It's been a good ride and I have met some fantastic young people.

The stories we read in the media about America's youth being weak selfish and unprepared to deal with difficulties are being undermined by what I see everyday here in Africa. If most American's could see their children in these parts of the world where we are combating American enemies with the force of arms, by building schools and hospitals they would change their mind.

America's youth are as strong and as dedicated to the service of America, they would do the WWII generation proud. As a Navy CPO I am proud to serve with and lead them.

Latest Report on McCain Sign Status on Commute Route of quickredfox:

The signs took a hit over the last couple of days and a couple are missing. The remaining ones (two small ones, and the two large ones) are battered but unbowed. This time someone had put some blue tape over one of the large ones (at first I thought it was blue paint), but by the time I got home from work the owner had taken the tape off so the sign was clear again, although the smaller signs that had been attached to it were gone. One of the smaller yard signs had a plastic covering over it but otherwise seemed fine. Another was torn a little, but on my nighttime mission run I brought some tape along and taped it up. The number of O signs on the route is back down to one. There had been another one on a certain corner with some local candidate signs, but apparently whoever owns that corner didn't want any signs there. All the signs were gone from there a day or so after the O sign went up, and haven't reappeared.

It has been windy and a little rainy today and some of the miscellaneous candidate signs have been taking a beating. I expect all the smaller signs of every candidate will get a whacking tonight as the wind is rising and it is supposed to rain some more. The two big homemade McCain signs are set pretty solid so I expect they will hold up fine, and maybe lefty will stay inside and leave them alone.

re: #337 vbspurs

Guys, this is a link from Redstate from a purported Obama operative.

On a Hillary blog, there is a postscript from this same purported operative. Again, grain of salt.

I was going to write a long response to validate and defend myself, but I just don’t feel that its necessary. I am sorry some feel offended by my post. I have no shame or guilt, we all have careers but don’t necessarily agree with the boss. My duties are so benign and clerical that I don’t have a hand in what I feel is a “game”. The “game” as I see it is much like a play on vanity, its a ruffle up your feathers to appear larger kind of game. The campaign is now nearing 1 billion dollars, a 1 billion dollar campaign. Can you imagine, if 1 little girl came forth and tried to take on that kind of establishment. I am not the person for that, and its not possible for me to do without implosion. I am not sure I can offer much up that would take notice in the MSM and get reported. My story would not make news, its not newsworthy. Its not illegal, the ideas I am suggesting. Its smoke and mirrors, sure. Its playing with emotions, absolutely. But, to the masses and to the pundits it would be viewed as “campaigning” and you would be told that it was just Obama being the “better” campaigner.

The truth is simple. The idea is to appear as a winner. To deflate your opponent. To overwhelm your opponent. To confuse your opponent. And to own the airwaves. There was a mass coordination on foreigners to visit online sites and vote to declare who won in the debates. Did you notice that John Mccain seemed to lose and lose badly every time. Where did all those voters come from?

[...]This election is down to a candidate that wants to win for his own desires and down to a candidate that wants to win for the country. Don’t allow yourself to be told what is right by anyone, review the facts, take a long good look at the candidate and decide what you believe is the right choice for us, for everyone in the united states. Your vote is your vote. Don’t allow a massive machine to feed you the answer.

I wrote the initial post to tell everyone to remain calm, stay firm in your convictions, vote with your heart don’t let the news and polls keep you and your will down. The news channels, the advertisements, the polls, are not the truth. They are not the truth. The truth is inside the people. Don’t be discouraged, and don’t give up.

And please, just ignore any oppositional voice on any forum, youtube, etc. Ask yourself one question, would there really be this much activity and opposition all on its own? Or were they sent, was this their mission? What seems more plausible?

How about the polls, how were the skewed? Take a look at the internals, always. But, above that think about something. How wold a polling company get paid? How would this be a viable business just on its own? They get paid by networks, ever notice how every two hours there is a pollster being interviewed and talking about his polls. Ever notice, the polls one day will have Barack Obama leading by 12, then the next day leading by 5, then the next day up to 8. How is that possible? Think about just one poll, that has Barack up 13 points, how badly would that destroy the average? [...]

He better make good use of the time - since he can’t afford a 6 network media dry hump. If he does as well as he did at that fancy dinner in NYC, it will help. If he doesn't its just more free ratings for NBC.

Rush was reading from Hillbuzz, which has been referenced here at LGF numerous times. And at the time we were talking about it, before Rush started reading it, and I posted that Rush had started talking about it.

Gotcha. Not too sure what this has to do with Faraway's reactions though. Did s/he mention something negative after your post, which I inadvertently triggered?

I saw that this afternoon and thought "great news." It's a great opportunity for him. Others might disagree but what the hay.

My friend's friend is baking Obama-themed cakes. I'm a little embarassed for my generation. Being on a college campus won't be fun on Election Day...

The same poster also posted tributes to William Tecumseh Sherman and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Incredible pictures.

Honestly, I do not remember. Don't even know if he/she was there.

Oh yes! I forgot to post this on my own blog. Carl Cameron broke the news during Shep's newscast.

I remember thinking that Obama is playing it cool, and that McCain gained momentum after his absolutely hilarious Alfred E. Smith Dinner roast. Let's hope he scores another bull's eye.

btw: LARGE improvement in LGF speed and handling with the Green clangers in the stead of the fancy icons.

Remember, you may be running for president one day, so you'll need to make at least 2-3 friends whose associations can later embarrass you!

Aha. So far, silence. Interesting.

I think Palin will lose. She is strung to a loser and the hatred of the entire world. But I think it will be closer than some think. Obama's first act will be to destroy the military because he knows that it must be done quickly. Clinton did the same thing, humbled the generals, delayed programs, failed to appoint heads, canceled what he could.
Wonderful.

The big shock on Tuesday will be when New Hampshire, Iowa and Maine go to McCain!

But to me it sounds very plausible. There's also the post from a former speechwriter for Obama who became so disillusioned with the attacks upon Sarah Palin she quit and said she's voting for McCain/Palin. That I'm not sure about.
