McCain is even scarier than Bush.

Now that the admiral's son has gotten away with cheating at the church, expect more ratfuckery in the debates .. at the least, a Bush-style Dumbass Filter and earpiece ..

John McCain graduated 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy at Annapolis.

I wonder where the five guys are now who were WORSE students than McCain.

894th. He never went to class. What's scarier is he wasn't smoking pot in his dorm room when skipping class. He's not cool enough for that. So what WAS he doing?

Scary.

The chairman of the Democratic National Committee has condemned controversial remarks by one of the presidents of the NC Democratic Party’s African-American Caucus (NCDPAAC), who recently said that black Democrats should only vote for Barack Obama in the fall, but not white Democratic candidates.

According to his classmate, he was sneaking out and going to a local tavern. I wonder if he challenged his daddy to go "mano-a-mano" just like his good pal Chimpy.

I,too, have heard from a friend, a GOPer, that has first hand experience with a McCain temper tantrum. This GOPer says flatly that he will not vote for McCain after what he witnessed...and he's voted Republican all his life. Truth is, the entire D.C. Press Corps knows about McTemper's tantrums, foul mouth and womanizing. It is no more a secret than Bush's Washington Outsider mantra was totally false, but perpetuated by a Media that knew better. It is guaranteed that the GOP controlled Press and Media will go to any length to keep McCain's personality flaws under wraps...but lots and lots of people know about them. In the end the worst thing going for McCain is the (R) behind his name, and the Media can't hide that.

Posted by T2 at August 20, 2008 06:17 AM

Well if the Democrats would nominate someone other than a Barney Fife character...

"GOP controlled Press and Media", y'all really believe this crap? WaPo has articles debunking this one several times.

So now Democrats are sullyboating McCain.

It's too bad the DNC selected Obama for us. Just another ABM (anybody but McCain) election. Is this the best we can do?

Two polls; Zogby show 12 point swing to McCain. Zogby had it 47-40 for Obama on their July 9-13 poll, now it's 46-41 McCain. LATimes was 49-37 Obama in June and now it's 45-43 Obama, a ten point swing! And his favorable number fell from 59% to 48% and unfavorable numbers rose from 27% to 35%.

Posted by peter at August 20, 2008 06:57 AM

I just need to say this to someone: I agree that Obama's campaign so far has been a little weak. He really should have already pushed a defining narrative for McCain (even if it was just "four more years"), but hasn't done so.

Still, I think he may well be playing this game almost perfectly. If he can hold it out a little longer (like through the middle of September), I think he can really make people think he represents "a different type of politics" - in which he honestly focuses on issues, not beating down his opponent. If that narrative catches on in the MSM (that he is actually doing it, not just talking about it) I think that will bring in a lot of independent voters.

I think this Dem. convention is going to be huge. Remember that Bill Clinton won the election in 2002 the moment that "Man from Hope" video played at the convention. If Obama can introduce/define himself to the American public in an equally effective way, he wins.

Obama has a huge money advantage, and in the next three months, when the vast majority of Americans just begin to pay attention, he should be able to both define himself as someone honestly a little different from previous politicians, and draw the contrast with McCain, on policy and character. The change in McCain from who he was in 2000 is striking, and Obama has yet to take advantage of the fact that McCain is now sleeping with the same people he himself condemned to a special place in hell just a few years ago.

"Four more years," or "new politics"? I think he'll be able to make that contrast work, but it is going to take a few more weeks. Then every time McCain and company go sleazy, it will just reinforce Obama's message.

Besides this whole election is going to depend on voter turnout. If people under the age of 35 show up on election day in record numbers, Obama wins.

I see the real McCain. Unfortunately I also see the real Obama. And judging from the most recent polls, so do more and more voters. But hey, I didn't pick the one Democratic candidate who could lose this election-nor, for that matter did a majority of Democratic primary voters. The DNC, the media, and the "post-partisan" Obots picked him. Worried about McCain? Go talk to them.

Posted by tdraicer at August 20, 2008 07:45 AM

swimyouidiot - ignore petey, he's a right wing tool and a goatblower. Not to mention stupid and doesn't know what year it is and who's running.

Thanks for bringing up Obama's massive ground game and GOTV efforts. He just added a bunch of lawyers to his local efforts as well; McCain has nothing except the bushies usual voter suppression drive. They know they only ever win by cheating. dday has an excellent post from yesterday that should calm some nerves. (I doubt it, though, since a lot of people seem really invested in panicking right now.)

Avedon Carol (I would link, but MT thinks the truth is questionable content) reminds us that McCain is no hero:

So it wasn't the pain that broke McCain, it was the realization that he was going to die. And he was not saved by his own forbearance or by his new willingness to cooperate, but by the fact that his father was important. McCain was a screw-up bomber pilot (not a fighter pilot) who kept crashing his planes and got caught on his last run. That's not heroism. McCain's account includes the deaths of others who were not so well-connected, including those who were able to hold out to the end. All of the real heroes in his story are dead. Just sayin'.

Yeah, he tried to give away info, but they were gonna let him die like the others (the real heroes) until they found out his dad was a big-ass muckety muck. I spent 16 years in Navy squadrons and people like McCain were reviled because they were ultimately cowards who got good pilots and crews killed. Avedon's also got a link that exposes another GOP lie:

McCain didn't steal the cross-in-the-dirt story from Solzhenitsen after all - he stole it from right-wing fabrications that Solzhenitsen had said it.

Hard to believe anyone could be worse than Bush/Cheney, but McCain's it.

Posted by iamcoyote at August 20, 2008 07:48 AM

Avedon also reminds us that McCain continues to trash actual heroes by opposing the new GI bill while taking credit for its passage. He's a real dick, all right.

Posted by iamcoyote at August 20, 2008 07:51 AM

i think we all need to calm down. these apologists touting the next great repub jonny mac, have a hard sell, a very hard sell. he doesn't know foreign policy as he says he does. his nuance equates to bombs and more bombs. he knows diddly bout domestic policy or economics. what exactly is his position on anything? what is his original position on anything? call obama lightweight all you want, but a warmongering, womanizing, borderline abusive, twit will be exposed, rapidly. the msm is starting to look at him critically, even andrea mitchell questionned his "cone of silence," story, as well as the avoiding the troops story.
jonny mac is a flake. he is unprincipalled. his meme is starting to be exposed, and this emperor has no clothes just as the first. he is full of sound and fury, begetting nothing. the people, are tired of paper tigers. gwb brought that on. the repub brand sux. it is bigotted, hateful, impossibly unchristian, intolerant, and as polls show out of touch with the american public as a whole. jonny mac is cowtowing to that base, and come debate time, his "cone of silence," will evaporate. the exposure wiil be appropriately delicious to see...

Hi Sharon, How things going with the tootsies? I hope you found something that gives you some relief.

On to your question. Right now Obama is pouring lots of money and effort into the 50 States strategy. You aren't seeing as many TV ads because so much money is going into Blackberrys, infrastructure, command and control, and paying people to get the volunteer network running. It's expensive. But that organization is almost complete. Obama has a 3:1 lead in field offices and 35:1 lead in direct contacts over McCain. It has been described as an "all-in" in organization and voter registration. Obama recently asked that money start to go the 527s, and I think that is the signal that the ground game is almost complete.

What this does is effectively change the Democratic party for the next many election cycles. He is enlarging the core Democratic demographic and putting in place an organization that all Democrats can participate in. It's populism. Whether you want liberalism, progressivism or any other "ism", you're getting populism from this candidate. That is damned exciting!

Hold on, Sharon. Obama is changing the entire Democratic party for the better by giving people a voice. It's flying under the radar of the MSM -AND MOST BLOGS (cough, cough)- because they are after the big hit. They'll focus on an attack ad that shows McCain in bed with a transvestite or drinking Scotch with the commandant of the Hanoi Hilton. It's in the power of the new Democratic organization that Obama is building where the action will occur. Hundreds of thousands of newly registered Democratic voters will trump any 30 second McCain ad.

I recommend you google Obama's speech to the VFW (I don't know if it's on YouTube). You'll see a real presidential candidate who would make a hell of a Commander in Chief.

Keep your cheer. You are getting one heck of a new and improved national, state and local level Democratic party when this is all said and done.

>Keep your cheer. You are getting one heck of a new and improved national, state and local level Democratic party when this is all said and done.

What a load of horse dung.

But one thing is clear-if Obama loses (as he is currently on track to do) the Obots will blame everyone but themselves and their candidate.

Hey Phid, where's his field office in Arkansas? McCain's going to out spend him by 15 to 20 mil this month. Then after the RNC, he doesn't need to do any fund raising, Obama does. Eyes on the ball, Obama will always have to keep his fund raising efforts up. Then there's the RNC advantage over the DNC of more than two to one.

I'm glad Coyote thinks Bill Clinton's the president now...no more blame Bush.

John McCain 3/6/07:

Senator John McCain, the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee personally apologized today for what he called “unacceptable” conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, currently the subject of hearings on the Hill.

“I will take responsibility for being a member of the Armed Services Committee and not knowing about it and not doing anything about it,” the Republican 2008 contender told a group of county officials from across the country today. “I apologize for my failure” to act, the Arizona Republican added. “I should be held accountable.”

USA Today:

LAWTON, Okla. — Mold infests the barracks that were set up here a year ago for wounded soldiers after poor conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center triggered a systemwide overhaul, soldiers say.

Twenty soldiers, who spoke to USA TODAY early last week, said their complaints about mold and other problems went unheeded for months. They also said they had been ordered not speak about the conditions at Fort Sill.

McCain apparently takes responsibility, but doesn't do anything about it, but vote against the new GI bill. Some "hero."

Yeah Obama thinks deciding for God is above his pay grade... unlike Bush who has regular conversations with Him... Right after a session of his "dry horrors" has passed, I guess. The voice in his head tells him to kill fur'nirs and he feels all better.

Totally off-key but I think Bush is really very, very shrewd. e.g. that whole "heck of a job, Brownie - slap on the back" thing was a calculated stunt to set "Brownie" up as a patsy for the media and save that Israeli citizen Chertoff. One of those two had to be burned.

Simple sells.
And that's why if the simple concept of four more years with the GOP means disaster can not be sold by Obama and soon, McDuh will complete the process of hollowing out what is left of middle class America. I see a real 2004 happening again.
People do pay attention after labor day, but you have to give them something simple to pay attention to. The Republicans understand this. For some reason, the national Democrats seem unwilling or unable to.

Exactly. So apparently goatblower thinks Obama should speak for an imaginary angry sky wizard, ignoring the fact that his hero Chimpy talks to an imaginary sky being. Of course, the GOP's new "hero" talked to the enemy in wartime, and helped their propaganda efforts, so that's the new god-talk. Of course Mr. POW has to speak in simple sentences; GOPers are imbeciles and need shit spelled out for 'em.

WOIO has confirmed that Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones (D-OH-11) was admitted to Huron Hospital in East Cleveland after being found unconscious behind the wheel of her car. A spokesperson for Huron Hospital said that Tubbs-Jones was admitted to the hospital however her family doesn't want any information released about her condition.

So if McCain is a bad candidate, why is Obama not doing well against a loser? That's the question that needs to be answered here. I know why I'm not voting for BO despite having voted all my life for Democrats. But those who want a Democrat to win the WH should consider if BO should be the Democratic nominee. BO was my last choice, close to Richardson, before January 2008, and then Obama earned "anybody but Obama" as the primaries ended. Look at the polls. BO does not get a solid backing of Democrats. Something to ponder. Btw, don't blame the voters, but the candidate.

Posted by prabhata at August 20, 2008 12:11 PM

The man from Hope won because Ross Perot took many votes from Bush 41. As much as I wanted Bill to win, I knew his chances were almost nil until Perot made it easier for Bill. I love Perot for that reason. Don't compare BC with Obama because their similarities end with the word "hope".
