danglingwrangler — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:26:04

Only a moronic cleric in denial could confuse the recent seismic shift in American politics with simply a different political perspective of the future. Not to be too intimidating to those that were on the outgoing GOP tide – ’Obamamatics’ brings to the table aggressive and proactive relief to many millions of truly suffering Americans that the Republicans simply ignored over the past 8 years. A violent revolution in the streets was thwarted, but a cataclysmic sea of change is gaining the momentum of a roaring locomotive fully loaded and racing downhill.

McCain's Strange Image

Article19 — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:08:01

Yes, I know it's on Daily Kos but get over it. Seems there is a little bit of back and forth about why John McCain gave his acceptance speech in front of an image of Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood. The school knows nothing about it and the McCain campaign is silent. If it was supposed to be Walter Reed Hospital then somebody is going to get fired and somebody is not going to be elected President. Time will tell,

Obama's new ad: Embrace

Tyme — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:41:32

"Embrace" addresses the numerous ways in which the special interests in Washington have embraced John McCain and how McCain has hugged right back, employing lobbyists in top positions and giving tax breaks to oil and drug companies, instead of working to ease the burden on middle-class families.

Yeah of course it's about the oil and that's all it's about

Tyme — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:16:39

Imagine Obama looking into the camera saying "Fuck it, we all know why Bush and McCain want to stay in Iraq. All this talk about waiting for this or that to happen -- it's all bullshit, they know it, I know it, the press knows it, and if you think about it you know it too."

But unfortunately, history demands that we at least make the effort so that future generations will understand why we perform voodoo rituals cursing Bush's memory before we go to bed every night.
