Four days to go.

Time to step on the accelerator!

I am going to have to learn to speed read or skip threads.

Yeah, the pollsters are realizing right about now that they need to be right, at least once.

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

I know that all politicians lie, but I think Obama is about to break Nixon's record for most lies in a three-month period.

re: #5 zombie

Hi Zombie, I just re-read your report on the NY Obama / Ayers ties and it seems very possible that you are correct. I have been in criminal investigations for the majority of my adult life and I have this really uneasy feeling the holes, specifically about BHO's time at Columbia, are either a cover to mask his deep involvement with Ayers / WUG or that he may not have actually gone to Columbia. This is only based upon my personal gut as I have not seen any evidence of his graduation from Columbia. If it has been made public I would tend to go more with the deep involvement with a group of very bad people. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hey Zombie here's some red meat to throw at you for an investigation...Was Obama's illegal aunt registered to vote? We already know she made campaign contributions.

re: #10 Tarkus289

I repeat myself when I'm distressed, I repeat myself when I'm distressed..

Therefore it is possible, but not necessarily the case, that you are distressed.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

I think he actually did go to Columbia -- otherwise, the lie would be so easily disproved. But I think he also got deeply involved in some very far-left radical political scene which he wants to be permanently forgotten. (Off campus.) As to whether or not that included brushing up against the Weather Underground -- I simply still don't know.

We've had more October Surprises this time around than any other in living memory, and the word has gotten out in spades.

Do not be distressed that the MSM has dutifully ignored them all. They were only fulfilling their self-assigned role.

Voter fraud, sign vandalism, voter misdirection (dems vote on Nov 5), etc. This really angers me especially since both sides do this sort of crap. We have folks who've fought and died for the right to vote and I want elections to be the one political process untainted by stupid sh*t and @ssholes.

From his convention speech: "It is that fundamental belief -- I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper -- that makes this country work."

From "Dreams From My Father": "If Jane or Zeituni ever felt ill, if their companies ever closed or laid them off, there was no government safety net. There was only family, next of kin, people burdened by similar hardship. Now I was family, I reminded myself. Now I had responsibilities."

Well, just my two cents - there are no coincidences. The nexus of the investigation is really, again in my opinion, the high degree of probability that the targeting of the South Africans from two dispartent groups was not coincidential. In a well conceived action there are generally two components, the action and the distraction. In this case the action, Weathermen and the distraction the anti-apartid rally. Not probably something that will ever be able to be uncovered unless someone talks.

The "missing time" from BHO at Columbia is to distance any involvement with the Weathermen or their actions. Again pure speculation on my part.

Zombie - the race is close - closer than most know.

Hey, I wrote the book on that -- I know it's close. Or that McCain may even have a slight edge. I just don't want anyone to ease up in the final days.

A big poll came out two days ago saying that Obama had a massive, incredible 22% lead in California. Over at the SF Chronicle, the moonbat commenters were howling in glee and ecstasy, doing a victory dance. Then, I posted this comment, and all their heads exploded en masse:

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

Wow, this poll is fantastic news for McCain. That's right -- I said McCain! The nationwide polls have the race getting pretty close -- McCain is now within 5% of Obama nationwide. And in a situation like that you want to lose the biggest states by huge margins -- which sucks up all the perceived polled support for the other candidate. Now it looks like that 5% of Americans who are the difference between Obama and McCain are actually all Californians -- which means the rest of the country is a dead heat. McCain was never going to win California. So the best thing to do is lose it by as big a margin as possible. Put it this way: Including California, Obama leads McCain by 5% nationwide. But granting Obama's victory in CA, in the other 49 states combined, they are tied! And perhaps McCain is even ahead a little bit! The way to win an election in an electoral college system is to lose big in the states you're going to lose, and then win by narrow margins in the states you win.

I really wouldn't make too much of this...she seems like sort of a sympathetic figure, in a way - but it would be interesting to know whether she cast an illegal vote, and who told her not to talk to anyone in the press until after 11/4.

Yeah, the Frogs are so peachy.

Would be interesting to see if the aunt was signed-up to vote by Acorn. Bet someone is already on it.

Hey Dude, I lived in Dublin/San Ramon from 1966-1970. Born in Concord. My Mom was born and raised in Danville. My older brother still lives in Livermore. I know your area VERY well. It's a great place to live for certain!

Here's some fun Contra Costa trivia for you and Dublin(CA)Dude:

Among performing magicians, there are a very select few known as the Dynasty of Royal Magicians, and the next magician gets chosen only when the current one retires.

The current holder of the title is Lance Burton. The only other living member is the previous title holder, Lee Grable.

After retiring from professional performing in 1959, Lee Grable used the money he'd saved up to invest in real estate. He moved to Alamo, CA, which wasn't much more than a stretch of road between Danville and Concord at the time. However, it was his real estate investing is, at this writing, still responsible for more than half of the homes currently existing in Alamo!

re: #116 pat

The only bombshells will be on McCain and Palin. The fix is in.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

Anecdote from last weekend that may be a harbinger for Tuesday:

Stopped to see an old friend in Connecticut on the way to visit our kid at college. Old friend's demographic profile:
-Grew up in Wellesley, Mass.
-Attended Milton Academy
-B.A. in psychology, Yale
-Ph.D. in psychology, U Penn
-now a tenured psych professor at Columbia
-solid Democrat until she finally got turned off by Clinton's sleaziness
-voted for Nader in '04 because she thought Kerry was a fool, but couldn't pull the lever for a Republican
-she and her husband both actively Jewish
-husband a lawyer turned consultant who has made his money the last few years in real estate investment/management; hammered by the Fannie/Freddie etc. mess
-husband has always been more conservative on economic issues, but basically a middle of the road voter from a Democratic heritage

Surprise 1: McCain-Palin sticker on the back of husband's truck. In southwest Connecticut, mind you.
Surprise 2: Old friend's reaction to Obama: "You can't fool me with that phony, pseudo-intellectual diplomatic bullshit. You'll sell out Israel the firs chance you get."

One data point, I know, but it's a data point that says something interesting.

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

Federal Election Commission records show that Onyango donated at least five times to her nephew’s campaign in July and September. Three of the donations were for $5 each, and two of the donations were for $25. Records compiled by The Huffington Post show she gave a total of $260 to the campaign.

And then the Frogs can lecture us on the protocol of strolling thru a Muslim neighborhood, or the evacuation of a burning automobile.

Yes indeed. She definitely broke the law by donating, I doubt much will come of it, but its a fact.

And Realwest, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being in my foxhole everyday since I got the bad news a few months ago. Your support has been the most important I've had. Thanks buddy.

Just curious to know? If the One's aunt made a contribution to his campaign, where did she get the money since she is living to the slums? And second, how much did she give? Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be in the thousands in small untraceable amounts!

re: #141 stuiec

Throw Auntie From the Train.

The trouble with 0bambi is that 99% of his longtime associates give the other 1% a bad name. Tragic.

Most times with 'iffy' campaign contributions if their is a real stink they just return the money. I think its very rare for anyone to actually be convicted espicially with such a small amount of $260.

And AP is reporting that Obama's aunt in Boston is an illegal immigrant, making contributions to Obama (illegal) and living in public housing (also illegal). and all that from the AP. Should be an interesting night on 11/4.

I made some use of that OpenSecrets.org donor list tonight, looking for my local zip codes. Mainly I was looking for the kook on the corner of Perkins & Arkansas who has a 3x9 foot "HOPE" sign on his porch facing the road. He's supposedly a photographer, dumbass has big glass sliding windows open to the road that practically scream "ROB ME", so he's not so bright and I'm not surprised by his electoral choice... I wondered if he was on the list. I did find one local dentist (who I will not be going to), and in the searches for my home zip back in MA, I found a number of names from my father's company. I'm going to look in my zip also, just to see if there are any businesses around here I should avoid.

The only bombshells will be on McCain and Palin. The fix is in.

I sincerely doubt it. McCain has been in politics for 30 years. Every detail of his life is known. Whatever they try to peddle, it will be old news, and no one will care.

He got divorced from his wife after returning from the torture chamber in Hanoi? Who cares. Old news.

He was peripherally involved in the Savings and Loan scandal nearly 20 years ago? Who cares. Old news.

His wife is a rich beer heiress? Who cares. Old news.

The Viet Cong made him say anything they wanted, by torturing him? Who cares. Old news.

He's had some health scares? Who cares. Old news.

I mean, what in the world could they dig up on John McCain that hasn't already been dug up a hundred times?

As for Palin -- the MSM is devoting half their resources to attacking her, and all they can come up with is trivial stuff -- her daughter isn't a virgin; she tried to fire a guy she was perfectly within her rights to fire; she's a social conservative; the GOP supplied her with designer clothes. And so on. Those are scandals? Forget it.

re: #19 zombie

I, we, everyone, searched in vain for that big bombshell October Surprise which the MSM could not ignore -- but no one in the whole world could find it.

I've got what I consider a modest surprise -- novel and possibly compelling information for undecided voters.

However, it comes with a price. It will most likely cause unholy dread in the hearts of rational men. Just bear in mind that it's not really a surprise in the sense that it's information that's in the open, just not in places where American's are typically attuned to intelligence gathering; and it's certainly not publicized. Additionally, to bring information forward, it requires people are ready to handle cold hard truth like mature adults.

The problem is that non-mature adults may misinterpret the data and cause physical harm to others; especially as the data is ill-favored for The One.

Just a meandering thought of mine in the dead of night regarding France.
WWI - France had apx. 7,500,000 men mobilized. Of these -- 1,385,000 were killed -- 4,266,000 were wounded, which gives us an apx. 75% casualty figure, and a decimated nation.
Link
and another link During the course of World War One, eleven percent (11%) of France's entire population were killed or wounded.
And, with that -- will toddle off to bed.

WWI - France had apx. 7,500,000 men mobilized. Of these -- 1,385,000 were killed -- 4,266,000 were wounded, which gives us an apx. 75% casualty figure, and a decimated nation.
Link
and another link During the course of World War One, eleven percent (11%) of France's entire population were killed or wounded.
And, with that -- will toddle off to bed.

Aside from the 1933 masterpiece "All quiet on the Western Front", why aren't there any good "Great War" films?

Gallipoli with Mel Gibson was decent, but what else is there? Heck, I watched Legends of the Fall strictly for it's brief WWI scenes.

So, for a lovely change of pace, the company I work for is throwing a "get out the vote" rally Monday, to talk about the candidates impacts on our industry (guess who doesn't look real friendly to the domestic steel industry) and re-arranging schedules so that everyone can vote on tuesday (our normal 12 hour shifts don't allow the day turn folks to get to the polls before they close)

So that's good anyway

Does this mean I can stop shopping around for countries to exile myself to should we have to endure four years of an 0bama white house or even two years of a Dem-Controlled Congress & White House?

re: #231 neocon hippie

Greetings from the 15th floor of the Atlantis hotel/casino in Reno. Checked in at the local office -- right next door -- called some volunteers about doing precinct walking tomorrow. Somewhat chaotic but energetic scene in the campaign office, mostly young people strategizing, and a variety making calls. I was told that NV is dead even at the moment. I'll be out walking the precincts tomorrow.

I found the information here about Sarah Palin's appearance there Monday night.

re: #234 kuchuklambat

No, just "Hard Truth", to be served cold.
So you are going to bust the Obama bombshell tease or leave it at that?

It's not a "bombshell". It's just a set of factual data that corroborates many fears. Fears which can certainly drive many undecided voters to vote against Obama.

here's a comercial;
Rasmussen, Merkel, Sarkozy, Harper, (probably) Netanyahu...

our allies have pulled their heads out and have seen the dangers that abound as we prepare to disengage....
our allies are having to privatize failing socialist health care and retirement plans as we prepare to rush headlong into the proven failures...

What was that Stanley Kubrick flick about the French....had Kirk Douglas in it.

I clicked on the link, but the video didn't work.

I finally got the video to work, but it was from the 17th season of Saturday Night Live, so the comedy didn't work.

re: #244 blackpajamas

right, 'bombshell' is a metaphor for something just like that. but as you wish.

My dear old Grandmother told me today, "That SOB Obama is going to claim he's ending Bushs' war if he gets in office just as troops in Iraq are making real progress and beginning to come home."

Must give a shout out to Drudge for keeping the MSM from suppressing the GOP voters with the constant drip, drip of BS. If you look behind the camera on any CNN/MSNBC live feed, you always see Drudge up on the computers.

His wife is a rich beer heiress? Who cares.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

McCain's wife is a rich beer heiress?

Why is America even bothering to have an election?

This all seems too easy. The next thing you'll be telling me is that Obama's wife isn't all that proud of America, until maybe recently, and she might be somewhat of a bitch.

Heaven forbid. What's next?

I suppose you'll tell me that the Republican candidate once lasted 5+ years in a Vietnamese prison camp, being tortured on a regular basis, and THAT'S why he can't raise his arms above his shoulders. Sure.

And then, I suppose you'll tell me that the Democrat's candidate has had a years-long relationship with radical leftists who worked murderously towards the US defeat in the same war in which the Republican's candidate was imprisoned for 5+ years.

Really, now. The only thing that could make this election all the more "stupider" is if you told me, the Democrat's candidate orated high regard for some terrorist mouthpiece - in front of those leftists, murderously dedicated to the US defeat in the same war in which the Republican's candidate was imprisoned for 5+ years - upon his move to say, some hotbed of anti-American, leftist bastion of higher education, perhaps, oh, I don't know... Columbia University?

And I suppose you're also going to tell me, that the Republican's candidate has been labeled as a "Maverick" for his 26 years of bucking the party line, but they have "only recently" started to portray him in a bad light.

Sure.

I'll post tomorrow evening (Sat) about the topic. I'll do my best to use language which does not incite the worst behaviors of men. I'll use flowery language (like Heidi of the Hills running through waves of amber welfare checks) couched in metaphor. The data will be informative, but it may not be universally popular.

Galipoli was better than decent.
