270 to win: prediction 02

obviously not a projection, but just me having fun with 270towin.com

racist republicans #02

*note: there seems to be a trend of calling obama a terrorist, and that is really downright scary. many wont dare say it yet, but some already are. and that is terrifying.

p/s - notice the whiteness of the crowd (except the one black dude...) and how they duck logical questions. just the fact that they base their stance on insanely stupid accusations makes me wonder if i'm the one who's not so sane...

some lines:

"that guy hangs around with terrorist"

"obama is a terrorist dont you know that?"

"obama's a terrorist. he's a muslim himself?"
"do you really believe that sir?"
"i believe he supports terrorism."

"get a job!"

"you think they should die?"
"everyone dies, don't they?"

"she should die!" referring to rape victims who have to pay for rape kit under wasilla law.



some lines:

"i think he's a one-man terrorist cell"

"you think he's a terrorist?"
"he's got the bloodlines"

"and you mindy green, thinks obama is a terrorist?"
"i do"

"when was the first time you heard of sarah palin?"
"when they announce her as the vp"
"when was the first time you heard of obama?"
"here it comes. this guy's good. first time i heard of obama, umm never."

fav line:

little kid: "you need gloves to touch him."

supporter when mccain criticized obama's tax plans (firstread):

"off with his head!"

why can't there be more people like these guys?

vote that one '08!

in case you missed it, at some point during the second debate last night, mccain referred to obama as "that one". obviously, in defense of the cranky old man, it does sound like a typical thing a grumpy old man would say to tell kids to get off the lawn. i just dont think that kind of archaic colloquialism fits with the younger generation.

my eyebrows raised when i heard mccain say it. i gotta give mccain the benefit of the doubt but at the same time i just rarely hear people say stuff like that in normal conversations. i guess that's why it came off as disrespectful, mean, and possibly subtly racist...

well, there's already a thatone08.com website setup by some obama fan late last night, which i thought was hilarious. click on the button above to that website.

270 to win: prediction 01

since i'm bored i'm gonna play around with the electoral map on 270towin.com

prediction 01 is that obama wins in major landslide, winning all tossup states (highly unlikely though). and of course, my prediction is completely possible because i said so...

"horse shit" or "course you can"?

seriously, did mccain curse "horse shit" or did he say "course you can" under his breath? listen carefully at about 4.30. i want to believe that he said "course you can" but i wasn't sure if he agreed with obama or not because seems like obama was saying something that's opposite of mccain's stance.

thank john mccain

did they not say the same thing about bush?

folks, if you are a true christian, you'll vote for palin.
if you are a true christian, you also voted for bush (twice).

Dear friends:

Barack Hussein Obama has taken the nation by storm. From obscurity, with zero executive experience, or much of any kind, he has vaulted into the position of Presidential frontrunner. It is stunning. On the surface, it appears attributable only to his eloquent oratory and his race. But an invisible factor may be a strong spiritual force behind him, causing some people to actually swoon in his presence...

Last week at Obama's acceptance speech, that spirit exalted itself in front of a Greek temple-like stage, and to a huge audience like in a Roman arena. Obama was portrayed as god-like. His voice thundered as a god's voice.

At the end, Democratic sympathizer Pastor Joel Hunter gave the benediction and shockingly invited everyone to close the prayer to their own (false) gods. This was surely an abomination, but it was compatible with Obama's expressed theology, and Hunter's leftist leanings.

God was not pleased...

Enter Governor Sarah Palin. With incredible timing, the very next day, Sarah Palin also appeared out of nowhere...

We quickly learned that Sarah is a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian, attends church, and has been a ministry worker.

Sarah is that standard God has raised up to stop the flood. She has the anointing. You can tell by how the dogs are already viciously attacking her. But they will not be successful. She knows the One she serves and will not be intimidated.

Back in the 1980s, I sensed that Israel's little-known Benjamin Netanyahu was chosen by God for an important end-time role. I still believe that. I now have that same sense about Sarah Palin...

Only God knows the future and how she may be used by Him, but may this noble woman serve to bring renewal in the land, and inspiration. - salon

and, surprisingly, similar things were said about bush in 2004

"As some of you might remember in November 2000, I had gone to a little cabin in the woods to pray for 40 days. While I was there, I had a vision of a huge ship that was surrounded by icebergs. The name of the ship was "Pride and Arrogance"; (I knew this represented the United States). 

As I looked at the ship, I noticed there was a big gapping hole in the side where it had
hit an iceberg. In spite of this, the ship kept forging ahead into the path of a gigantic iceberg. I knew if it hit the iceberg head on, it would go down like the Titanic. Many people were yelling and waving flags at the Captain so that he would turn the ship. I wondered why the Captain wasn't heeding their warning.
 
As I looked more closely, I realized he had eye sockets but no eyeballs, therefore he couldn't see where he was headed. Suddenly he received his sight.  When he saw the iceberg looming in front of him, he was absolutely horrified! At that point the vision had ended. I did not know if he had time to change the course of the ship or not. When I asked the LORD who was the captain of the ship, He said George W. Bush (I did not know he had just won the election).

"At the time of this vision I had no idea that there would be a 9-11 attack and that it would leave us with a gapping wound in our side. Also did I not know that the President would go to war with Iraq.

"A few days ago (July 6, 2004) I saw the follow up of the original vision. After working with terror victims in Jerusalem for a few months a friend suggested I take a vacation. She even said she would send me some money so that I could go somewhere and relax. At first I resisted the idea but then I realized I did need some time alone with the LORD.

"As I thought about this, the whole vision came back to my mind. Once again I saw the huge ship that was headed toward the gigantic iceberg. George Bush was still at the helm but this time he had his eyesight.  My thought was that the ship would hit the iceberg, because it did not change course in time to avoid it, and that it would go down like the Titanic. My question was, 'Will George Bush still be at the helm?'

"Again the question arose in my mind as to what had happened to George Bush. Suddenly I was taken back to the scene of the tragedy to see what had really happened. I discovered that when George Bush's eyes were fully opened he jerked the wheel to the right to avoid a last minute crash. This caused the whole side of the ship to be sliced off making the damage and casualties more. Some were saying he turned the ship just to save himself but this is not true. He did it
in the hopes of avoiding the calamity but it was too late. I found myself asking, 'Can any of the ship be saved or will it sink to the bottom of the ocean, and what about George Bush?'

"This was the response I received. 'Unlike the Titanic the ship will not go down. It will stand in the midst of the ocean.' 'How can such a thing be?' I asked. 'The decision by GEORGE Bush to turn the ship will at first appear to be a big mistake because of the great damage that will be done. But in time it will prove to be a wise decision. Even though one side of the ship will be ripped off, no damage will be done to the interior. Had he continued a straight course the internal damage would have caused the ship to sink.'

"'But with one side of the hull gone, what will keep the water from flooding in?' I asked. 'A clear invisible glass wall will keep the water out.' He went on to explain that this wall is created by prayer. He also said that those who remain on the ship will be saved but those who desert it out of fear will not survive.

"Again I asked, 'What about George Bush, will he survive? Will he still be the captain?' 'YES!!!' came the response. 'In fact he will rename the ship. No longer will it be called 'Pride and Arrogance.' Its new name will be 'Openness and Honesty' for things inside can no longer be hidden.'

"I breathed a sign of relief as the vision ended and said 'Thank You LORD!' But then I asked, 'Is it possible that these things won't come to pass?' The LORD responded by saying, 'The protection of the ship can only happen if Christians pray for the invisible wall and if they don't desert the ship.' A.S."  (End quote.)

- Pray for God's protection over America from terror attacks!

- Pray for God's wisdom in the war against Islamic terrorism!

- Pray that the believers in America will wake up and pray!

- Pray that God's will be done in the elections!

- Pray that the relationship between USA and Israel will be strengthened!  

God bless you as watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem!  Thank you for praying for us! - jim bramlett

the logic of us politics

I received this email over the weekend from a friendly acquaintance. It should help sort out some questions you may have. The subject heading on the email was "I was confused but now I'm not":

This took some figuring out

If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."

Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers -- a quintessential American story.

If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track -- you're a maverick.

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

Attend five different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

If you spend three years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a constitutional law
professor, spend eight years as a state senator representing a district with more than 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: local weather girl, four years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising two beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner-city community,
then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.

If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude," with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now. - michael tomasky for the guardian

the best/ worst presidential ad ever

ralph nader talks to a parrot. this ad makes his 2000 election voters not make the same mistake again.

a black comic introducing mccain

What up, RNC!

(cheers)

You white motherfuckers!

(laughter)

This conference so white, Helen Mirren tried to snort it!

(laughter)

Y’all the whitest white people in the history of white people. Even Barbara Bush sitting here right now going: ‘These are some white motherfuckers.’

(laughter)

You’re so white, your vice presidential nominee got the word ‘pale’ in her name!

(laughter, applause)

Look at this place. I can’t believe this shit! Y’all couldn’t find one single brother?

(shouting)

There is? Where?

(shouting)

Yo, what up, brother! Looks like you the only chocolate chip in the cookie.

(laughter)

You look like a fly in a glass of milk, yo. Swim! Swim for your life!

(laughter)

Alaska in the house!

(Cheers)

Where the baby daddy at? Where he at?

(crowd noise)

You knocked her up, man? That’s cool. That’s cool.

(silence)

You know that word ‘abstinence’—you know that mean ‘no fucking,’ right?

(laughter)

I guess they didn’t make that clear at the seminar.

(laughter)

‘So I just use this abstinence, that mean we can fuck all we want, right?’ No!

(laughter)

But you know I feel you, man. I do. Because the fact is, you live in motherfucking Alaska! What else is there to do but fuck?

(laughter)

Just fuck! That’s all there is to do! Just fuck!

(laughter)

That’s all Alaska is. Just a bunch of crazy white people fucking!

(sustained laughter and applause)

And you know he got to marry that girl, too. Because … her momma done shot a moose.

(laughter)

She shot a motherfucking moose! Put its head up on the wall and everything. That’s cold, man. That’s like Al Qaeda shit. Post that shit on the Internet as a warning to other moose.

(laughter)

’Cause when a girl’s momma shoot a moose, that’s, like, a red flag for me. I take that shit into consideration. I do! It’s like, ‘Yeah, you fine. No doubt. You real fine. And you got a great personality. And you drunk. But … ain’t your momma the one done shot a moose? I’ll be seeing you later on.’ I practice abstinence with moose-shooting-momma-having bitches.

(laughter)

But it’s time to bring out the white man you’ve all been waiting for. This man is so white, he makes y’all look Mexican.

(laughter)

He spent five long years locked up in a POW camp, and returned a national hero.

(applause)

And fucked every white woman in America.

(sustained applause)

’Cause five years—that makes you horny. And women, they looove to fuck war heroes. Basically, if you were white and female in 1973, you were fucked by John McCain.

(“USA! USA! USA!”)

And then he married a fine rich white girl whose daddy owned a beer company.

(laughter, applause)

And he wants to be president? Sheeet, you already got money, beer and pussy! What the fuck you want with the presidency? Quit while you’re ahead! You’re 72 years old—just drink, fuck, and play golf, you dumb white motherfucker!

(raucous laughter, applause)
