i’m nervous.

i really don’t want to blog about this guy for the next four years.

p.s. if anyone has an extra guest pass for the obama rally in chicago, please let me know. email me at mccainwatch “at” gmail dot com.

thank you!

148 years ago Barrack Obama would have been judged to have enough negro heritage to be considered a slave with no human rights in the southern half ofthis nation. In the Northern half he would have been considered a second class citizen of little value as a human being.

50 years ago there were states where Barrack Obama wouldn’t have been allowed to urinate in the same bathroom as a white man.

Tomorrow, Barrack Obama may be elected to the Presidency of the United States of America.

Obviously the votes need to be counted and John McCain is a worthy opponent who could upset Obama and win the office, but regardless, this election is a defining moment in the history of this country and humanity.

If Barrack Obama should be elected, it would prove beyond any doubt that the vision layed down by our founding fathers was more than revolutionary, instead, bordering on divine enlightenment. To construct a set of documents from the “Declaration of Independence” to the “U.S. Constitution” providing future generations with words so powerful that they can manage the lives of millions of people or provide for the security of one, is by definition genius.

We are on the precipice of witnessing the ultimate achievement of men who believed in the God given rights of all men to be free to pursue their individual dreams based upon their natural ability without prejudice, malice, or social status.  The American Dream has become reality.

is proper spelling “elitist” now too?

the gawker suggests that this was mccain’s attempt to get back at palin for her absolutely pathetic performance. as don allen talked about several weeks ago, palin has essentially gone rogue, she’s been critical of the way mccain has handled the campaign and critical of the way she was shielded from the media by mccain’s staff. she’s basically been running for 2012 at mccain’s expense.

this definitely does come across as a hostile shot from mccain.

so what does that say about him? not only did was VP pick an abysmal failure, but he has also been utterly incapable of asserting control of his own campaign.

this is what happens when you give someone the second most important job in the country after meeting her only once.

i had to go through more interviews and more hoops than palin, when i applied for a job at the local mall.

mccain wants the video of the party to be released:

On Wednesday, McCain said 1960s radical Bill Ayers had attended the same party in 2003. McCain and Palin have criticized Obama for his ties to Ayers and questioned what the videotape of the party might show.

“Among other things, Israel was described there as the perpetrator of terrorism rather than the victim,” Palin said at a rally in Ohio. “What we don’t know is how Barack Obama responded to these slurs on a country that he professes to support.”

mccain is trying to paint khalidi as a radical, even though there is scant evidence of khalidi’s ties to the PLO and even though the PLO was heavily propped up by western donors as the moderate face of the palestinians.

more amusingly, mccain himself funded khalidi’s group:

“During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.”

but, even better is mccain’s brand new ad, featuring the islamic call to prayer with the following narration:

“Obama doesn’t have preconditions but Iran does. Iran, whose president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel must be wiped off the map. Iran demands that the U.S. must cease its support of Israel and that all U.S. military forces must leave the Middle East, meaning we abandon Iraq, Turkey and Kuwait. What will Obama do? Will he admit he was wrong or will he accept Iran’s demands?’

it’s just sad to see mccain fall apart like this.

back in 2000 he was the victim of some of the worst mudslinging in american political history.

he’s ended up as a pathetic caricature of the far-right elements of his party.

edited to add the rest of what she said:

i dont know if you use the word terrorist. It’s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned, of course, on our watch. But if what you’re asking is if I regret referring to Bill Ayers as an unrepenting domestic terrorist, I don’t regret characterizing him as that.

how bout this question for sarah:

is timothy mcveigh a terrorist?

“i dont know if i would call him a terrorist. It’s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned, of course, on our watch. But if what you’re asking is if I regret referring to Bill Ayers as an unrepenting domestic terrorist, I don’t regret characterizing him as that.”

or how bout if obama was asked:

do you believe that bill ayers is a terrorist and his plot to blow up government buildings constitutes terrorism?

“i dont know if i would call him a terrorist. It’s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned, of course, on our watch.”

how would that fly?

Megan’s eyeballs almost burst out of her head today while skewering some college professor for signing a petition that basically says Bill Ayers is a respected member of the educational profession and that his reputation as such shouldn’t be in dispute. I actually agree with Megan that Ayers is a unrepentant thug who masks his hatred for the country by consorting with the educational elite as a way of justifying his existence. I disagree with the relevance this has to Obama who everyone agrees has disavowed Bill Ayers, has admitted to a limited association while serving on an educational board with the man and attended an afternoon tea meet and greet some fifteen years ago with the man when he started in politics.

OKAY WE GET IT…  Do you have to whore yourself to the McCain camp everyday with what amounts to a Bill Ayers infomercial every day of the week. I have to believe that even Megan Kelly’s integrity has to be getting a little bruised in this shameless attempt to keep this guy in the news.

…And that’s the problem, Fox news continuing disbelief that their candidate John McCain, is apparently losing this election. It’s a huge problem for Fox because they have built their reputation and fortune around the conservative movement and promoting a republican agenda. Make no mistake that a huge Obama win is as much a referendum on the “Right Wing” smear machines of Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, Ingram and company as it is a referendum for a fundamental change of direction for the country. An Obama Presidency, and especially a successful Obama presidency would shatter the distorted politics of misrepresentation by the smear machine led by Fox news.

This is why Fox News has trotted out their best news team of Bill Hemmer and Megan Kelly every morning for the last week to start the day with a one/two punch of why McCain is great and Obama is a bum. While Kelly replays the Bill Ayers and Barack Obama planned to get married when gay marriage becomes legal story, poor Bill Hemmer was sent to Iraq to show first hand how good the surge “JOHN McCAIN” supported was working. It back fired a little today as a suicide bomber took out a convoy, but “Hey, that’s why John McCain says we can’t leave.”

Fox News, who puts the HIP in hypocrisy by claiming main stream media is in the tank for Obama while tauting their news as “Fair and Balanced” runs about a 9-1 ratio of negative stories or slants about Obama. …And that’s fine, they found a niche of about 5 million people who watch their advertising and make money for them and want them to promote their guy, but at some point I’d feel a whole lot more comfortable if they would just change the name of their news cast to FAUX NEWS, that would be ”fair and Balanced.”
