I guess there just wasn’t money in the budget for him to transform into a jet and take off with a red-white-and-blue smoke trail instead of getting caught by the bungie cord at the end there.

I’m looking for a bunch of Party-Response ads. They’d feature Bush lying us into the iraq war (pic of bodies), republicans lying about saddam/9-11. Republicans making stupid apointments (bodies of katrina victims), republicans gutting regulatory agencies (pics of BP refinery fire, sago mine, kids with samonella), diabetics and asthmatics loosing their insurance, then fade to black on the words-
“Republican: It could kill you”

Hey! I like malt liquor!

These look like those obnoxious anti-smoking “Truth” ads which damn near made me pick up smoking just out of spite.

So instead of a social safety net we all get bungy cords instead?

Note that the bungee cord is the colors of the Franch flag.  Clearly the people who made this ad are a bunch of femme, metrosexual, blame-America-firsters.

Because you can always trust the insane lunatic ravings of some white guy with a bullhorn in the middle of the street.

Right.

Especially when he says “the government taking half my paycheck”.  He must be an illegal alien, or have a really lousy grasp of how to do his taxes if that’s the case - or a mistaken belief that Blue Cross and Delta Dental are government organizations and Social Security payments aren’t credited to his SSN.

He’s just adapting the tactics of 9/11 Troofers, which have been such stunning successes!

I once was at a political gathering where some Truthers kinda barged in and tried exactly those tactics. They were very successful… at pissing everyone off.

Atheist—

Exactly. I almost want to donate money to them.

This is the second time this evening that I am reminded of the scene in the movie The Blues Brothers wherein the illinois nazi party staged a march only to be run off a bridge by Jake and Elwood.  Is anyone else feelin’ me here?

Wow, what a shitty ad. Try watching it with the sound off, which as you prolly already know is the best way to evaluate political ads. You’ll have no idea what the fuck it’s about, and the man with the bullhorn is so resoundingly uncharismatic that you won’t want to find out.

You are a liar.  That is not what the video showed.  Please delinieate the qualifications of Barak Obama to be president.  We know he is a product of the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine, we know his political patronage sponsor is Emil Jones, a venal politician.  Other than that, we know nothing about the Messiah.  So, please, what are his qualifications?  Or is he another emty suit like Hillary?

You are a liar. That is not what the video showed.

Dude. Seriously. Irony is already dead. You don’t have to keep hitting it with that pipe.

Oh, look!  It’s the guy from the video!  Can I have his autograph?  A vial of his sweat?  The contrail from his bungee cord?  His babies?  I love trolls!

“This is the second time this evening that I am reminded of the scene in the movie The Blues Brothers wherein the illinois nazi party staged a march only to be run off a bridge by Jake and Elwood.  Is anyone else feelin’ me here?”

I dunno.  It could also be the first thirty seconds of any number of those tasing videos Pam keeps posting.

That was even better than a crappy rental car commercial!

Other than that, <strike>we</strike> I know nothing about the Messiah.

Well, now whose fault is that? 

Hint:  yours.

I thought it was a pretty good ad. Getting everyone to vote for Obama by portraying people who object to him as ranting lunatics seems like a solid strategy to me.

We know he is a product of the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine

EXCEPT HE WASN’T.

Here’s a hint: Obama was the guy the “political machine” you think is ever-present WASN’T SUPPORTING.  And the “OMGZ OBAMESSIAH” bullshit has already been used up.  And the “OMGZ NOT QUALLERFYED” meme has been thoroughly debunked, and turned around on McShame with his desperate pick of Failin’ as his Veep.

God, get your right-wing memes straight and spell Obama’s name right, you slobbering fucking man-child.

Or is he another emty suit like Hillary?

You got us: he’s an emty suit.

Because “emty” means “awesome” in my made-up moon language. And that’s what I assume you meant.

Because “emty” means “awesome” in my made-up moon language.

That’s also the language in which “fundamentals of the economy” means “can-do spirit of the American worker, so stop hatin’.”

Problem is, we heard a lot about change before, and look what’s happened: higher gas prices and food prices, record home foreclosures, massive bank failures and a do-nothing Congress.

Damn straight. After eight years of shrub, we should never vote for another Republican President as long as we live.

Join the search for the right change!

Um, maybe if you didn’t spill all the coins from your pocket by jumping off a bridge it wouldn’t be an issue.

how how HOW can people think that voting for McCain is NOT voting for the EXACT SAME THING ONLY MORE???????

ARGH!!!!! at least a democrat on office IS a change in the party in charge!!!!

i have to admit that a small part of me, the part that has always wanted to tour europe, kinda hopes McCain wins so that the republican party can’t blame the democrats for the next 4 years. except i know they will anyhow, and at least dems in charge will TRY to fix some things… even if they won’t be able to do it all…

Is Rick Perry still the governor of Texas?

The other day, a reporter asked Gov. Rick Perry why reporters were being kept out of the stricken areas, even reporters flying over the disaster zone in helicopters. Why were reporters not being allowed to do their job, gathering information and reporting to the public?

Perry hemed and hawed, first saying that local officials were deciding, then saying the state wasn’t involved in decisions, finally admitting that the “federal government” was behind stopping reporters from even flying over the stricken areas.

But what Perry was really saying was that his authority as governor of Texas was no longer in effect, that he no longer had any say in what decisions were being made along the devastated Texas coast, failing to mention that the authority of all state governors had been usurped two years ago by the Republican-controlled Congress, after a law was passed stating that in cases of emergencies, as declared and defined by “the President,” through which the authority of all state governors could be bypassed with the DHS essentially calling the shots.

All fifty state governors, Republicans and Democrats, protested this usurption of their authority, but to no avail. The law passed. In case of an emergency, as declared and defined by “the President,” state governors no longer even have control over their own state’s national guard units inside their own state.

This anti-Constitution, anti-state law was passed almost one year after Gov. Blanco of Louisiana, during Hurricane Katrina, repeatedly refused Bush administration demands to cede her control over her state’s security and her state’s national guard to them. So the Bush administration got the lapdog Republican Congress to pass this law to take care of this little problem.

So, as long as this “state of emergency” remains declared along the Texas coast, Gov. Rick Perry is just governor in name only. Congress stripped him, and all state governors, of having any decision-making power “in case of an emergency” on their state’s soil, or even in the air above their state’s soil.

So, for some reason, the Bush administration, including DHS chief Chertoff, is refusing reporters access to the stricken areas, even if they fly over in a helicopter, just wanting to check out the damage and take pictures so they can keep their clients (us) informed.

Do the culture of corruption Republicans just hate the media (except for Faux News) or are they trying to hide something, keeping reporters and photographers out?

take pictures so they can keep their clients (us) informed.

You’ve got that back to front. They want to take pictures so the product (us) will watch and can be sold to their clients (advertisers).

Otherwise, very interesting. A few links to articles on the topic would top it off nicely.

We know he is a product of the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine, we know his political patronage sponsor is Emil Jones, a venal politician.

I am fascinated by your statements and wish to receive your newsletter.

Is the entire right unaware of things like factcheck.org? I mean, really, don’t they know people are checking their claims, and someone is going to do the math (or just think about it for like 5 seconds) and realize they’re lying. Good thing they used the term “things” you need to know about Obama rather than “facts” about his policies.

Other than that, we know nothing about the Messiah.

Yes, if only he’d written an autobiography or a policy book or even had a website.  Why must he keep himself, his life, and his thoughts such a mystery?

the great Negroid menace will turn his riding mower into a candy-painted malt liquor fountain.

Really? Then sign me the hell up!

“riding mower into a candy-painted malt liquor fountain.”
i’m frothing at the mouth for one of those.
the spouse and i would fight over who GETS to mow!
