It’s quite funny to see democrats so vehemently denying that their guy has any intention of resurrecting the modest social entitlement programs that the cons refer to as socialism.  “We’re just as conservative as you are”, they seem to be saying.  What more proof does anyone need that there is only one party.  By shouting “socialism” the cons are only making democrats swear allegiance to military-corporate state and the dems can’t prostrate fast enough.

“It’s long past time we should be outing these cretins”

The thing is, these cretins have been outed, are being ourted, can be seen very clearly with just a bit of study to be the perfect example of all things unsavory. dishonest, or simply rotten to the core.

The problem is the “thoughtful” voter.

The voter who understands Congress has failed, but cant see the difference from one congress-creature to another. The voter who knows the pain of republican fiscal policy, but only when it hits their pocketbook. The voter who shuts everyone up if anything that hurts anyone besides themselves, comes up. The voter who covers their ears to shut out the truth, but listens to anything that smacks of dirty. The voter who boasts, “I do my own thinking.” Then falls back on dishonest sound-bites at the last minute, because they don’t know how to do their own thinking.

In other words, the voter who cant remember anything for more than three months, and is to dumb to figure out what anything means if they could. That’s the voter Rove and equally disgusting liars like him rely on.

But nobody’s that stupid, right? Well right or wrong, that IS what the republican party thinks of their loyal supporters. They not only believe their supporters are dumber than a board, and incapable of remembering anything, they use this belief to guide party policy.

Because they have been successful at swinging the votes in their direction, it’s hard to believe they’re not correct in their assessment of the American voter as being to stupid to find their way out of a closet. That’s why they manage, year after year to fix the outcome of every election and everyone accepts the fix.

Yes there are voters too stupid to find their way out of a closet. But personally, I think most of them can be found in mainstreammedia. As far as the little guy back home trying to survive in the growing slave-labor market of a republican designed economy. I think they’re smarter. I also think they’re sick and tired of being labeled stupid by their party.

But we all know that propaganda works. And thanks to the aforementioned dumb, dumb and dumber mainstreammedia, they will be buried under a wave of foul smelling sewer, courtesy the Grand Old Party. Demonstrating, the only thing grand about them is their lock-step march to self-destruction ... reminiscent of the storm troopers mindlessly following a screaming psychopath.

May not win any popularity polls, but there’s one way to counter the coming wave of pig-shit. When someone repeats one of the lies as fact, simply say, “The republican party thinks voters are stupid, so they think voters will believe anything they say, so they think you will believe and repeat the lie you just told me.” And if they haven’t started yelling, or swung at you yet, you might add, “Are you that stupid? I don’t think so ... so why don’t you prove them wrong?”

Back when the swiftboat swill was going around, I put this to one of my neighbors. After a bit of spurting and sputtering, I referenced her to some independent media. Amazing how different her thought process is today. She actually recognizes so-called news, courtesy MSNBCCNNABCCBSFOX is actually BAD entertainment. A collection of BAD performers mindlessly repeating the “shows” selected “talking” points. Much more entertaining to watch a re-run of MASH for the zillionth time.

People get mad because they don’t like to be called stupid. But simple common sense can help those who aren’t accept the challenge to prove they aren’t.

As for that small group that hasn’t been hurt yet, they are the stupidest of all. They’ll survey their pile of stuff and money and decide the republican party of deception, corruption and greed has been good to them. No hope there.

Contradictory accusations have long been in the right-wing playbook.  They’re incoherent.  Hillary Clinton was supposed to be a Marxist corporate lawyer and Wal-Mart board member.  In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler accused the Jews of being Marxists one moment and accused them of being capitalists the next moment.  The right wing always operates this way.

It would be great if a renowned psychologist or maybe a herpetologist could explain how what is laughingly known as the Republican “mind” can hold within its tiny compass at one and the same the two contradictory notions that Barack Obama is 1) a Muslim, and 2) a 20-year member of a Christian congregation with a slightly loopy pastor. But don’t count on anyone figuring it out.

The Not-So-Swift-Boat folks can sling every bit of misspelled and ignorant mud that they want, but they can’t beat a man with a brain with a man with barely a pulse. The only thing that The Favored Son and his Favored Guru said in the 2000 campaign that made any sense at all is that John McCain has a wire or two loose. His experience in Hanoi didn’t help, but if you look at the long line of drunken sailors from whom he descends, plus his abysmal record at the Naval Academy, there’s ample evidence that he was a couple of Budweisers short of a six-pack before he managed to get himself shot down. His more recent gaffes, such as calling his heiress wife the word every woman hates, and relying on Joe Lieberman to correct his knowledge of the Middle East, lead one to believe that he is not exactly hitting on all cylinders. Wrap that disconnect in his synapses together with his well-documented temper and long list of physical ailments, and you have a very weak candidate.

If he drags the Republican Party down to permanent minority status, that would still not be adequate punishment for the havoc they gave us through the unelected one. It will take us three or four decades to repair the damage he has done. So it would only be fair if it takes three or four decades before the Republicans ever have a chance to govern again.

I’m with you on this Conservative Yankee..

“… It’s long past time we should be outing these cretins..”

Oh Yeah. Jackpine Savage as well. We need to out ALL of these sub-human trolls. They’re all dirty bastards.

• “…insecure and pathetic as that makes Rove sound, he surely knows how to provoke envy and resentment among voters, especially white males….”

Joe hit the nail on the head with these to connected sentiments…ENVY and RESENTMENT. That’s exactly what it is, and it’s very easy to provoke in main-stream America, and ESPECIALLY NOW! The class warfare that was initiated 8 years ago has made this the most provocative tool yet. Nearly all of the individual attacks that I’ve heard/read against Barack Obama have been a result of envy and resentment, (and it’s all the worse because he’s black) and that’s the sort of thing that is as old as dirt, and can be counted upon every time, to create exactly what they’ve created. A class war, and an envy and resentment toward Obama, DESPITE the fact that he is far closer to the ‘ordinary’ American than any of these other candidates or so-called leaders have EVER been.

Yep. Joe definitely hit the bulls-eye again on this one.

On the plus side, Obama has been expecting it. I don’t think that John Kerry was, and he either couldn’t, or chose not to respond.

The Communist Party USA is not “defunct.” In fact, they publish a quite good weekly newspaper and monthly magazine.

But will any left-leaning author publish a book exposing John McCain as the traitorous, collaborating weakling that he is?  No.  The son-of-a-bitch should be summarily executed for his collaboration with the North Vietnamese...but i’ll have to listen to how he’s a frickin’ “war hero” from now until November.

His fellow POW’s had to listen to his voice over the loudspeakers parroting everything that the North Vietnamese told him to say.  Soldiers on the ground got to hear him on the radio.  And he talked so fast that the Navy had to stop the bombing runs after experiencing a 60% increase in aircraft fatalities in the year following McCain’s capture.  Who do you think gave them the flight paths, altitudes, etc.?

And don’t forget that the KGB would have overseen the “interrogation” (quotes because lil’ John probably didn’t even have to be questioned much less beaten) and collected all of that information for its own use.

Whatever happened to “name, rank, and serial number”?  Lot’s of good men held out, too many never made it home...and yet a Communist collaborator runs for President on his record as a Communist collaborator.  Only in America.

Right Wing attack number one: Using Obama to beat Obama.

Many candidates have measured the Oval Office drapes prematurely. But Barack Obama is the first to redesign the presidential seal before the election.

His seal featured an eagle emblazoned with his logo, and included a Latin version of his campaign slogan. This was an attempt by Sen. Obama to make himself appear more presidential. But most people saw in the seal something else – chutzpah – and he’s stopped using it. Such arrogance – even self-centeredness – have featured often in the Obama campaign.

Interesting. Every charge in the above piece concerning the “right wing attack machine” had already been played out in the democratic primaries. The Muslim myth, the race card, the elitism, the arrogance, the Michele factor and the almost total lack of experience. All of these things were issues brought to the fore by fellow democrats. But now we’re being told that the republicans are just awful to make these things election year issues.

And many of you here will swallow this tripe as if it’s real. You’ll soon be whining and crying about the mean republicans and how unfair. How evil. You’ll completely dismiss or forget the that you all witnessed the attack tactics by fellow democrats. You’ll only concentrate on demonizing ‘the others”.

Let the whining begin, oh you petulant children. ....LOL
