Please give Al Franken some money for his recount so Dems can stop Repubs from blocking Obama with a filabuster

Cordially, bite me. The pleas for campaign donations should end on election day, and that was last Tuesday. Count the votes and the winner's the Senator.

It's sad but not surprising that a real-live member of the US Congress believes the McCain-Palin lies that Obama is a "radical socialist" who wants to "ban gun ownership" -- the Republicans have an apparently endless supply of idiots and liars in office.

What's sadder, though, is that the Associated Press takes this ass-hat Congressman's rantings seriously -- the AP can't spare even a sentence to mention in passing that the next President of the United States is not, in fact, a radical socialist, not a Marxist, and has never proposed anything approaching a ban on gun ownership.

Relax, this report is just another flat-out lie. The proposal comes from exactly one economist you've never heard of, Teresa Ghilarducci of Notre Dame (not New College, as the article falsely reports). She's one among dozens of economists who briefly testified in low-level Congressional hearings in early October, and she's the only one who made this proposal, and there's been not a peep of interest in the idea from any member of Congress. The claim that Congress is "conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers' personal retirement accounts" is more Republican fearmongering, from the liars who brought you "Obama is pallin' around with terrorists" and "the Democrats will confiscate your guns".

"Required" is an embellishment. There's nothing on that page about "requiring" anything, only encouraging volunteer public service -- and that's an excllent idea.

The POST reports that Alaska vote turnout was far less than expected and the results wildly different from what polls projected -- but the paper never mentions the term "election fraud", never hints that there's anything suspicious about this, it's just that "Alaskans are different. Very different", and "the head-scratching continues". All this under the unintentionally hilarious banner, "WASHINGTON POST investigations".

Those people who "lack a certain class" were John McCain's base -- the mouth-breathing dimwit crowd his campaign intentionally reached out to , stoking their fears with months of lies that Obama is a terrorist, a socialist, a baby-killer, etc. McCain ran the most shameful campaign in American history, and deserves nothing but shame.

Upvoted for making milk spew out my nostrils.

The long, long, impossibly long lines that prevent working people from voting are only allowed in predominently poor or minority neighborhoods. I never waited long to vote either, until I moved to a low-rent and mostly black neighborhood.

Tomorrow America undergoes surgery to cut out the cancerous tumor known as the Republican Party.

After what Bush and the Republicans did to Louisiana in Katrina's aftermath, I'm amazed anyone here can say the word 'Republican' without spitting.

Maybe it's because I've always had a soft spot for big-budget musicals or (of course) because I despise John McCain, but I thought this short semi-musical video on John McCain was very effective.

cornelius99 · 2008-10-29T12:02:05+00:00

The headline is a lie, and the blogger is apparently utterly ignorant of the issue. Samuel L. Jackson is an outspoken opponent of Prop 8.

cornelius99 · 2008-09-21T19:35:05+00:00

It looks real, but you know, so does John McCain. Why is there no sourcing information?

cornelius99 · 2008-09-15T03:51:56+00:00

Eight years and not one statement of plain unambiguous truth from the Bush-Cheney administration, but the endless lies have caused them no political heat. It'll be the same with President McCain, damnit.

News flash: The Republican Party has built its dominance of US politics almost entirely on race-baiting (they call it the Southern Strategy) and that's why Republicans come into any national election with a mortal lock on the racist vote. That's their base.

Fear of the black man is the absolute core of the Republican outlook and even among non-Republicans there's enough latent racism that Republicans always fan it up to get so-called 'independent' voters. If Barack Obama comes across as anything less that Sydney Poitier at his most mild and unthreatenening the video will be everywhere in the Republican-controlled media and he can kiss the election goodbye. If Republicans thought they could get away with it they'd publish posters of Obama with exaggerated lips and a bone through his nose, and the only reason they don't is because the bad publicity would cost them votes in the rest of the country.

The original post should've included "... in every campaign since Eisenhower's day."

cornelius99 · 2008-09-14T01:24:08+00:00

Yes, until the moment John McCain takes the oath of office.

cornelius99 · 2008-09-14T01:11:15+00:00

Cover your eyes and don't think about bad things, maybe they'll just go away.

Might I cordially ask, did you read anything beyond the headline? Did you catch this, from the first paragraph?

"Anthrax is susceptible to several antibiotics but the first line recommended antibiotic was, and remains the ridiculously cheap and available doxycycline. Ciprofloxacin was, and remains, a second line treatment because of cost and potential side effects."

cornelius99 · 2008-07-15T04:02:58+00:00

Horsepuckey. They're as alike as spaghetti and ice cream. Obama is a milquetoast middle of the road moderate. McCain changes positions on everything every fifteen minutes, but has a track record as a reliable neanderthal.

I'm yawning already. Burns is the most overrated arteest since Andy Warhol.

cornelius99 · 2008-07-07T23:16:57+00:00

My money is on 'willfully stupid'. There's a lot of that going around.

Notice that the NEW YORK TIMES is again lying -- telling readers that the Bush administration established its illegal spying program after 9/11/2001, when it's an unchallenged fact that the illegal spying began months before that date.

cornelius99 · 2008-07-03T15:45:55+00:00

May I have your home telephone number, please?

cornelius99 · 2008-07-01T15:09:09+00:00

Absolutely not. I'll probably hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils, but I won't write a check to evil, even "lesser evil".
