Barack Obama Extreme?

Is Obama too extreme for old, rich white people in North Carolina? Apparently so. The North Carolina Republican Party is planning a new ad calling Obama "too extreme.." for their state. Why can't these clowns let the Rev. Wright thing go? Like McCain hasn't had any controversial people in his past? How about Hagee and Falwell too name a few and he still hasn't dropped their endorsements! McCain is claiming that he asked the NC GOP to not run the ad but as of yet they are planning to go with the ad anyway. Apparently the state GOP doesn't really care what their national presidential nominee thinks. Hypocrisy knows no bounds in the Republican party.

Priorities people....

It's good to see the courts actually standing up to the Bush bullies every once in awhile. Now can we get them to protect our troops in the warzone, or once they return home?

What a shocker....

Attorney General Mukasey will not probe the contempt of Josh Bolton or Harriet Miers because no crime was committed. Silly Congress, testifying before a grand jury is for people who break the law, not people who work in the Executive Branch of government. As we all know, if the President commits a crime it ceases to be a crime. With all the controversy swirling around Gov. Seigelman's case, these two nitwits should be in jail already. It's gonna be a long time before I trust my government again.

What a crybaby....

Here's your President:

" At issue is a dispute over whether telecommunications companies should be subjected to class-action lawsuits because they are believed to have helped defend America after the attacks of 9/11. Allowing these lawsuits to proceed would be unfair. If any of these companies helped us, they did so after being told by our government that their assistance was legal and vital to our national security."

Once again people, say it with me. If no crime was committed, then why the immunity? Have you ever heard of anyone who needed immunity for something that wasn't illegal? He can't even say if they did "help" the government because that would automatically prove the standing of these lawsuits. As we have seen, our Judicial branch refused to hear one case because of standing. Bush uses the word "believed" to have helped. Then he cries, "unfair"! Really? Like getting sent to prison for 8 years for political reasons?

"Now, let me talk about the phone companies. You cannot expect phone companies to participate if they feel like they're going to be sued. I mean, it is these people are responsible for shareholders. They're private companies.

The government said to those who have alleged to have helped us that it is in our national interests and it's legal. It's in our national interest because we want to know who's calling who from overseas into America. We need to know in order to protect the people.

It was legal. And now all of a sudden plaintiffs attorneys, class-action plaintiffs attorneys, you know I don't want to try to get inside their head; I suspect they see, you know, a financial gravy train are trying to sue these companies. It's unfair. It is patently unfair."

Once again notice the very interesting choice of words, "alleged to have helped us". If they didn't help us, why does Bush care if they get immunity? If they get sued for 5 billion, Bush can then give the telecoms 5 billion in subsidies or whatnot. That's not the real point, the real point is no trials. If trials happen, then disclosure happens. Then impeachment and jail sentences follow.

Finally, I LOVE hearing Bush talk of financial "gravy trains". Not that the Iraq war hasn't been one huge gravy train for Halliburton, Blackwater, Betchel, KBR, etc. It's almost too much hypocrisy for one's brain to fathom.

"You want those missing emails huh?"

Suck it!

Cool, my job search is over....

Anyone else free this summer?

Watch it grow....

Here's a great break down of McCain's believability. Sorry about the quick ad, but the video is worth it.

Infested

There have been rumors and barbs flying about John McCain and whether the ethics man is truly a man of his word. Well, when your campaign is brimming with lobbyists from top to bottom you get a good idea of where McCain really stands. How can the man who has railed against campaign finance and lobbyists actually be...........wait, I forgot who I was talking about. Ladies and gentlemen I give you, the Republicans and the party of hypocrisy!

UPDATE: For the record, I posted this at 8:11 pst. Bill Maher basically just read almost word for word my post on air on Real Time. It was eerie.

Does this ever get old?

I don't think I need to comment on this. It speaks for itself. How do the Republicans continue to be the family values party? We live in strange times. Honestly, after Foley, Haggard, Craig, Vitter....the list goes on and on. Oh, then there's highly respected White House reported Jeff Gannon.

Who loves the troops?

So I guess we need a whole new batch of bumper stickers for the "Troop Supporters"??

I Support the Troops!!.....er......till '09!!
