WHO TO VOTE FOR THIS YEAR: JOHN MCCAIN OR BARACK OBAMA ???

Gosh... I really haven't decided. Let me see...

One one hand we have a young, dark-skinned (like 80% of the world), energetic, inspiring, extremely intelligent and capable LIBERAL (like all our best presidents)... or on the other hand, an old, doddering, bumbling, uninspiring, confused, not-so-bright, but pasty white CONSERVATIVE (just like all our worst presidents).

We can go into the future with one of America's best and brightest with LIBERAL ideas (all of the best ideas in human history have been LIBERAL ideas)... or we can wallow in the past with a fortunate son (remember the Creedence Clearwater song?) with tired, discredited CONSERVATIVE ideas (all the worst ideas in human history have been CONSERVATIVE ideas).

We can finally, at long last realize America's promise of the land of freedom and equality where ANYONE, despite their upbringing or skin color, can rise through PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT to become President of the United States of America, or we can elect the 44th straight old, rich white man, and yet another who RODE HIS DADDY'S COAT-TAILS to get where he is today!

We can embrace the LIBERAL value of NO FEAR ("The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" -- Franklin Roosevelt)... and the party of commanders-in-chief who won two world wars and defeated the most fearsome militaries in history (in less than four years each), or we can continue on with the CONSERVATIVE value of BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID ("Your Terror Alert Color Code for today is Orange") and a commander-in-chief who in seven years hasn't found a way to defeat a ragtag bunch of cavemen who sent 19 guys with boxcutters to attack us.

Should we reward the utter incompetency and corruptness of the Republicans, the completely discredited economic religion of the corporatist Republicans, and the divisive political posturings and dumbing-down of America by the Republicans... by turning our nation again over to... the Republicans?

Or should we go back to proven American values that actually work... LIBERAL values... the values that our nation was founded on (despite the objection of conservatives), the values that moved us forward through the establishment of public education, the abolition of slavery, the emancipation of women, the elimination of child labor, the raising up of the working and middle class, concerns about workplace safety, reigning in corporate arrogance and malfeasance, the demolishing of stupid conservative prohibition laws, Social Security, The G.I. Bill, civil rights, the protection of the environment, gay rights, etc. Every single one of these progressions in our nation's history was fought -- tooth and nail -- by conservatives. Since 1776, they have been wrong about everything.

Hmmm... it's a tough choice. I'll have to think about some more.

John McCain Buffoonery
A Never-Ending Trail of Lapses of Common Sense & Judgment From The Republican Presidential Candidate

(NOTE: If Democratic candidate Barack Obama had made even a few of these many gaffes, bobbles, hobbles, stumbles, bumbles and brain freezes (or are they simply "senior moments"), he would have been excoriated by the conservatives. But, as with George W. Bush, a free pass is given to the Republican who is totally clueless!)

August 29, 2008 -- Today, John McCain announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. Palin has served as governor of the one of the least populated states in the union for only 20 months. After months of hammering Democratic candidate Barack Obama (who has 12 years of state or national service) as being "inexperienced" and "not ready to be commander-in-chief", McCain has selected one of the least experienced politicians in the country. Now that's a colossal flip-flop even for the world-champion flip-flopper!

McCain only met Palin six months ago, spending less than one hour with her at the Governors Conference. This week he brought her to Arizona, and the two met for just the second time before McCain annointed her his running mate. Unbelievable! There is no conceivable way that McCain truly knows this person... and now he is selecting this self-described "hockey mom" to be "a heart-beat away" from becoming President of the United States of America.

Is this another bone-headed decision by McCain? You bet. In fact, this may be McCain's worst decision ever... and that's saying a lot! Is Sarah Palin really the best Republican in the entire United States to serve as McCain's VP? If so, WOW! This party really is in shambles.

"Country First"? Hardly. McCain has a well-deserved reputation as an opponent of "earmarks" (pork projects), but then he goes out and brings in the "Pork Princess" (she hauled in over $5000 of U.S. taxpayers' cash for every man, woman and child in Wasilla, Alaska) for his running mate! McCain claims to be a moderate and wants to reach across the political aisle, and then he chooses one the most radical right-wing Christian conservatives in the nation? That's sure to further polarize the nation. This is cold-blooded political maneuver designed simply to appearl to the wacko Christian right and to women, two demographic groups McCain was having trouble with.

July 22, 2008 -- Today, John McCain announced on ABC News, "We have a lot to do, particularly given the situation along the Iraq-Pakistan border."
Hmmm. Does McCain truly not realize there ISN'T any Iraq-Pakistan border!

July 14, 2008 -- Today, at a news conference in Phoenix, Arizona, John McCain explained, "I was concerned about a couple of steps that the Russian government took in the last several days. One was reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia."
Alas, poor Mr. McCain is just a wee bit behind the times... like 15 years behind the times! The nation of Czechoslovakia was disbanded in 1993, when it split into the two separate countries of Czech Republic and Slovakia.

June 30, 2008 -- Today, answering a variety of questions from pool reporters while campaigning in New Mexico, John McCain discussed the situation in Darfur, "We can't right every wrong and achieve every laudable goal. How can we bring pressure on the government of Somalia?"
Unfortunately, even if we get Somalia to cooporate, it won't help the situation in Darfur, which is in Sudan.

March 25, 2008 -- Today, on CNN John McCain proclaimed at a news conference that "Americans are not getting the full picture of the progress being made in Iraq. There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today. And General Petraeus go out there almost every day in an unarmed Humvee."
CNN correspondent Michael Ware, who has been in Iraq as a war correspondent for four years, had this to say, "I would certainly like to bring Senator McCain up to speed if he ever gives me the opportunity. Senator McCain's credibility now on Iraq has now been left out, hanging to dry. To suggest that there is ANY neighborhood in this city where an American can walk freely is beyond ludicrous! I would love Senator McCain to tell me where that neighborhood is, and he and I can go for a stroll. And to think that General David Petraeus travels this city in an unarmed Humvee... in the hours since Senator McCain said this, I've spoken to military sources, and there was laughter down the line. A week later, McCain DID go to Baghdad and walked "freely" through a Baghdad neighborhood. Take that, CNN! Of course, on his walk through the Baghdad neighborhood, McCain wore a bullet-proof vest and was accompanied by 100 American soldiers, ten armoured Humvees and three Blackhawk helicopters.

March 18, 2008 -- Today, at a press conference John McCain repeated his gaffe of the day before, claiming once again that, "Well, it’s common knowledge and has been reported in the media that Al Qaeda is going back into Iran and is receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran. That’s well known and it’s unfortunate. "
Actually John, no. There is no such thing as Al Qaeda in Iran. You see, John, Al Qaeda is a Sunni terrorist group, and Iran is a Shia theocracy. They don't like each other. It is very frightening that you Republicans have such little knowledge of the actual divisions within Islam. In the War on Terror, it would probably be very important to understand who the actual terrorists are. But then, it's never really been a real "war on terror" has it? The invasion of Iraq was never about terrorism. It was all about oil.

January 16, 2008 -- Today, on a CBS interview John McCain admitted, "The worst advice that I've given to myself was when the Confederate flag was flying over the state Capitol in South Carolina and I decided that I would say that's not an issue that I should be involved in, that it's -- should be decided by the people of the state of South Carolina. I knew that it was a symbol that was very offensive to many people, and afterwards I went back and apologized. But it was, needless to say, by saying that I wouldn't have anything to do with an issue like that was an act of cowardice. I said it for all the wrong reasons. For ambition. Sure."
Well, we give him credit for coming clean... but it still speaks volumes about his very poor judgment, as well as his blind ambition and his willingness to say anything to get elected.

January 3, 2008 -- Today, at a townhall meeting in New Hampshire John McCain answered a citizen's question about President Bush saying that America may have to stay in Iraq for 50 years... "Maybe 100! We've been in Japan for 60 years, we've been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. I hope it would be fine with you."
Ai-Yi-Yi! So all in favor of staying in Iraq 100 years, stand up! OK... we acknowledge the oil companies not only standing up, but cheering loudly.

MEET SARAH PALIN

John McCain has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. Palin has served as governor of the one of the least populated states in the union for only 20 months. After months of hammering Democratic candidate Barack Obama (who has 12 years of state or national service) as being "inexperienced" and "not ready to be commander-in-chief", McCain has selected one of the least experienced politicians in the country. Now that's a colossal flip-flop even for the world-champion flip-flopper!

McCain only met Palin six months ago, spending less than one hour with her at the Governors Conference. This week he brought her to Arizona, and the two met for just the second time before McCain annointed her his running mate. Unbelievable! There is no conceivable way that McCain truly knows this person... and now he is selecting this self-described "hockey mom" to be "a heart-beat away" from becoming President of the United States of America.

Sarah Palin has less than two years experience at the state or national political level... as governor of a state with a smaller population than 11 U.S. cities! Is Sarah Palin really the best Republican in the entire United States to serve as McCain's VP? If so, WOW! This party really is in shambles.

Is this another bone-headed decision by McCain? You bet. In fact, this may be McCain's worst decision ever... and that's saying a lot!

It turns out Palin comes with a whole lot of baggage. On the plus side, Palin also comes with some notions that will put a chill into the corporatists who really rule the Republican Party. She slapped the oil companies operating in Alaska with a windfall profit tax that put $1200 into the pockets of Alaskan citizens (over and above the rougly $2000 per year that they get from their regular taxation of oil companies, which no other state gets to do. What the hell is wrong with you, Texas?). Before the windfall profit tax, she proposed giving Alaskans a $100 gasoline credit card, paid for by the oil companies. We say "Hooray" to these ideas... liberals are all about taxing corporations making obscene profits, as well as the fat cats at the tippy top of the pyramid stuffing their pockets with average Americans' dough. Now how about bringing that idea to the lower 48, Sarah? Is anyone in the media going to ask her about that?

We liberals definitely appreciate her spunk and spirit, and certainly her self-generated success (something the last two Republican presidential candidates have sorely lacked, being full-fledged "Daddy's boys"). Hey, maybe Democrats could love this Sarah Palin.

Well, maybe not. Hillary Clinton she does not remotely resemble.

This woman is an authentic right-wing nut-job... and mean, too (well, OK, that goes with being a right-wing nut-job).

As a Pentacostal, Sarah Palin will be very welcomed by the Radical-Right Christian fringe. In her run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (a non-partisan position), she brought rabid Hard Right Christian and Republican issues and tactics to the fore, highly politicizing and polarizing the small community, which had never seen the likes of it before. She has no use for gays and lesbians, whole-heartedly supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage (which would be the first and only constitutional amendment restricting the rights of a class of citizens). She believes creationism should be taught side-by-side with evolution in the science classroom (even though the former is pure religious dogma and the latter is proven scientific theory). She is against abortion, even in the case of rape or incest. As mayor, Palin tried to pressure the town librarian into banning books she decided weren't in keeping with the radical Christian ideology she promotes. She slashed funds for preventing teen pregnancies and for providing a safe-house where teen mothers without a family support system, which was also before she found herself with a pregnant teen. She is a rabid anti-environmentalist, supporting drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, opposing listing polar bears as an endangered species (that might cost the oil companies a dollar in profit), and as governor has circumvented federal law (and even the will of the people of Alaska) by supporting aerial hunting of wolves and bears.

Fiscal conservatives should be afraid, very afraid of Sarah Palin! Though she campaigned as a "fiscal conservative", during her six years as mayor she increased expenditures over 33%, slashed property taxes, but still managed to raise taxes overall by 38% (primarily through a regressive sales tax that taxed even food). As mayor, Palin inherited no debt, but left the town with a debt of $22 million!

John McCain has a well-deserved reputation as an opponent of "earmarks" (pork projects), but then he goes out and brings in the "Pork Princess" for his running mate!. McCain touts how Palin "killed" the "Bridge to Nowhere", the $230 million boondoggle that Alaskan Republican Senator Ted Stevens foisted upon the American tax-payers. But wait! Turns out Palin was for the bridge -- running on a "Build the Bridge" platform for governor -- before she was against the bridge, turning against the project after the national uproar had ensued (though she hasn't given the U.S. taxpayers' money back). As mayor, Palin took trip after trip to Washington to hijack YOUR tax dollars!... coming home with over $27 million from citizens in places like Alliance, Nebraska; Topeka, Kansas; Montgomery, Alabama; Kissimmee, Florida, and other communities all over America. That's over five thousand dollars of YOUR money for every person in Wasilla, Alaska. That's world-class porking! Sarah Palin was great for Wasilla, but bad for America.

"Country First"? Hardly. McCain claims to be a moderate and wants to reach across the political aisle, and then he chooses one the most radical right-wing Christian conservatives in the nation? That's sure to further polarize the nation. This is a cold-blooded political maneuver designed simply to appearl to the wacko Christian right and to women, two demographic groups McCain was having trouble with.

Mind you, McCain will become the oldest president ever elected, and already suffers from cancer and other ailments. At his age and physical condition, there is an ENHANCED possibility that McCain might not make it through a first term as president... and he is setting up a hockey mom to become president???? Lord help us!

Now it seems that McCain really didn't do his homework in selecting Palin. She was barely vetted. Now Americans are learning that she once supported Alaska seceding from the union. Yeah right, that's American! Palin is under investigation for using her influence as governor to get a state employee (her brother-in-law who was embroiled in a nasty divorce dispute with her sister) fired, and then when the Public Safety Commissioner, Walter Monegan, wouldn't fire her brother-in-law, she fired Monegan! As mayor, she fired just about everybody who wasn't on-board with her radical ideology. Now that's a woman cut from the same cloth as George W. Bush.

Her 17-year-old, unmarried daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant. There is nothing particularly noteworthy about that private matter. Unwanted teen pregnancy is a problem across America that deserves a better solution than the conservatives have proferred. However, very pertinent to Sarah Palin's daughter becoming pregnant is the fact that conservatives and the Christian Right (of which Palin is a card-carrying member) have been lecturing America for decades about the importance of "good parenting" and "abstinence-only" premarital education as the proven route to preventing such unplanned pregnancies. If this were a black 17-year-old with an unwanted pregnancy on the Southside of Chicago, we'd be hearing how this was a graphic example of the failure of welfare, the failure of securalism, the failure of liberal values, the failure of her parents (who would be presumed to be Democrats). God bless Bristol Palin, and good luck to her, but really, just how did the Palins fail so badly as parents with this proven formula? Or is the formula itself really full of holes? Maybe Planned Parenthood isn't such a bad idea after all, eh conservatives? Maybe it wouldn't have been such a horrible, liberal, idea for Bristol and her boyfriend to have been sex-educated about the wonderful benefits of... CONDOMS! Oh, and by the way, did we mention Governor Palin slashed funding for preventing teen pregnancies, and she and John McCain are against sex education in public schools.

Here's what Sarah Palin's mother-in-law, Faye Palin, says about her: "I’m not sure what she brings to the ticket other than she’s a woman and a conservative. Well, she’s a better speaker than McCain." Faye Palin adds, she might be voting for Obama.

Sarah Palin, neanderthal right-winger, radical fringe Christian, Pork Princess, tax-and-spender, but against programs that actually help people.

Sarah Palin... rack it up as yet another pathetic excuse for a candidate... brought to you by the same folks who gave us Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Dan Quayle, Alberto Gonzalez, Harriet Miers, Michael Brown, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and of course, let us never forget, the worst president ever, George W. Bush.
