Shhhh...Grandpa McCain will make it all better.

Usually a candidate sits down with editors and reporters like this. Me thinks Condoleezza is paving her way for a run. Why else would she randomly pop up talking to a paper about race like this? It isn't exactly typical Sec. of State behavior. Have to give it to the GOP; it's a brilliant counter to the possibility of a black man, a woman, or both on the Dems side.

Rice tells Washington Times that race is issue because of U.S. 'birth defect'

"Black Americans were a founding population," she said. "Africans and Europeans came here and founded this country together — Europeans by choice and Africans in chains. That's not a very pretty reality of our founding."

Okay America let's get real for a minute, and not Real Time Bill Maher real, I mean really real. What is all the commotion about paying for vaginal pleasures? Am I missing something here? I thought America was all about personal freedom? We have the freedom to buy guns, get drunk and or drive, and the God given right to look at boobies at any time of the day.

Why then America can't a healthy American man buy a snatch sandwich after a hard day of work?

If anything we should be encouraging more American prostitution, it might be one of the last things we can corner the market in. What's that you say? Thai girls are 20 years ahead of our prostitutes Shit! See America, you're loosing out on yet another economic battle. 

All I'm saying is that we as Americans can do better. We can make better schools, kick more terrorist ass, and also provide the best top shelf cooter to paying customers. This is the land of the free, not the land of the free, except when it comes to paying for a woman to tie you up and spank your buttocks until you develop small but adorable blisters.

Get your act together America, this is one fight that is actually worth fighting.

It certainly does. Bush's legacy, indeed.

Is Middle-America full of racists who think all Muslims, or anyone related to a Muslim is a terrorist? No, they just vote for those people.

Spencer Daily Reporter: Story: King announced bid for fourth term

"I'll just say this: When you think about the option of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected President of the United States -- I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam?"

He continued: "I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror."

"Additionally, his middle name (Hussein) does matter," King said. "It
matters because they read a meaning into that in the rest of the world.
That has a special meaning to them. They will be dancing in the streets
because of his middle name.

I was listening to Left Right and Center today as they praised William F. Buckley for being the "Father of Conservatism" and a guy who always voiced his opinion with "civility and none of the name-calling that has come to characterize current political discourse." He calls Gore Vidal a, "Queer," in the clip below. In fairness, Vidal is a queer.

Also, interesting that the birthplace of modern Conservatism was support for the Vietnam War. I was astounded that the "Liberals lost the Vietnam War" meme was effective in the '04 election. So effective that Kerry couldn't run on his courageous opposition to the war, and instead had to spend time defending his combat heroics. Vietnam was a clusterfuck! So is Iraq...and Conservatism for that matter. Queers indeed.

The question remains as to whether or not this lobbyist scandal could go far enough to be a gift to Huckabee, or even Romney.  McCain's rebuttal to the NY Times article suggesting he had an affair appears to be outright false.  McCain claims he never spoke with anyone at Paxson Communications or their lobbying firm (where Vicki Iseman, the woman named in the possible affair works) about two letters he wrote to the FCC on their behalf.  A sworn deposition from 5 years ago has him on record claiming that he did speak with them and was asked to write the letters. Blah, blah, blah -- another DC scandal, but this line from his deposition is the key

At another point Abrams asked McCain if, "looking back on the events with Mr. Paxson, the contributions, the jets, everything you and I have just talked about, do you believe that it would have been justified for a member of the public to say there is at least an appearance of corruption here?"

"Absolutely," McCain replied. "And when I took a thousand dollars or any other hard-money contribution from anybody who does business before the Congress of the United States, then that allegation is justified as well. Because the taint affects all of us." Elsewhere McCain said about his dealings with Paxson, "As I said before, I believe that there could possibly be an appearance of corruption because this system has tainted all of us."

That is Obama's response to questions from Hill-bot or McCain about his lack of DC experience. Let's all make, "This system has tainted all of us" t-shirts. Hell, I'll crochet it on a pillow and send it to McCain.

"The last thing we need is the same old folks, doing the same old things, making the same old mistakes."

Take that to the bank Obama.  Hilary and McCain are insane if they think they will win this with a, "More of the same," strategy.

"I disagree with Obama on many issues. I don't think his education plan will work, I don't agree with his stance on NASA, I'm worried that he's going to raise my taxes...

But even with all that said, I realize that the number one thing the United States needs right now is a leader.

Obama is a leader.

Obama is the right person for the job, and he is the only one that I think can bring some actual credibility back to the United States, and perhaps even give us something to be proud of again.

I'm willing to pay a little more in taxes to be proud of my country once again...

Please vote for Obama."
