The following is an email written by a Republican Party volunteer in Florida, which was forwarded to a distribution list by the local GOP chairman, David Storck. Oops. This e-mail was sent to me from one of our Volunteers in the Temple Terrace office. If you think it can help us win this election please […]
At least 20 people were told by McCain staffers to leave a McCain rally in Cedar Falls, Iowa today, or face being arrested for trespassing. None of them were protesting or causing any problems at all. According to one of the people who was ejected: I saw a couple that had been escorted out and […]
Yesterday I posted a story about how the financial bailout has turned into a huge boondoggle — a trillion-dollar-plus going-away present from Bush to the large corporations who bought and paid for him. But that story wasn’t the only example. While we are all distracted by the upcoming election, the mining industry has been quietly […]
Now that Joe the Plumber didn’t work out so good, McCain seems to be searching around for other “small” business owners. But this is ridiculous. First, at a rally in Sarasota, Florida, J. Robert Long was introduced as a “small businessman” and was dubbed “Bob the Boat Builder” by McCain. But most of Long’s career […]
I find it ironic that people aren’t more upset about the bailout package that was supposed to fix our economic woes. So far, it looks more like an early Christmas present for the banks and investment houses before the Bush administration leaves office, while simultaneously making our economy worse instead of better — by wasting […]
John McCain is not responsible for his brother’s actions, but this is just too bizarre to pass up. Joe McCain even cursed at the 911 operator when the operator asked in disbelief if he was really calling to complain about traffic. And if that weren’t enough, McCain doubled down and called 911 a second time […]
Have you noticed how the GOP has stopped complaining about ACORN since the owner of a company hired by the GOP to do voter registration was arrested for registration fraud? The same company has been “slamming” — a term that was invented to describe phone companies switching long distance carriers without the permission of customers, […]
The political parties are required to file financial disclosure reports with the FEC (you can look at them yourself). Politico dug around and discovered that the Republicans spent more than $150,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin in the month since she was picked to be McCain’s VP nominee. And that doesn’t include $4,716 spent on her […]
I think I see a pattern of hypocrisy emerging. First a conservative radio show accuses Obama of giving a speech in front of an “Obama Flag”, which looks like an American flag but has a big “O” on it for Obama. Then he goes off, ranting about what that means: These things are symptomatic of […]
From Daily Kos. I don’t know what’s worse — what she originally said, or her ability to lie about what she said.
Also interesting is that Letterman is the first media person to ask McCain about his relationship with convicted Watergate burglar and domestic terrorist G. Gordon Liddy. Last November, McCain appeared on Liddy’s radio program and Liddy called McCain “an old friend”. McCain responded “I’m proud of you, I’m proud of your family” (referring to Liddy’s […]
