I love how so far we've had

1. Overt racism from two GOP groups.
2. Shouts of "Kill him!" and "Terrorist!" at McCain/Palin Rallies
3. Assaults on the press

And not one of you chicken shit republicans has the stones to condemn any of it. Except for snakesht. So good for him.

The rest of you are a bunch of fucking cowards.

Meh, results trump morality and ethics as long as it's legal, right?

The part about the jellocrats being pussies is 100% spot on!
I have to say the jellocrats should change their name to the beaten wives party.
Those sobs are such chicken shit pussies it's not even funny! Especially in their fear of the gop hate machine and faux news.

But never the less, from my travels this man screaming a this really really does represent the 30% of the population that keep the gop in power. This man represents jesus h bush's lower class base. He is our boy kings foot soldiers. Blind unyielding faith!

But what can you do? Not like you can implement the Shah's Conservative Eradication Campaign and rid our selves of such hate filled people. So we'll just give them a tax cut (I assure you red states on average make less than blue states), help his kids stay healthy and get a good education and hope that in 4 years maybe he won't bight the hand that feed him.

The sad fact is that the McCain-Palin campaign has stirred up a very violent element of their followers. That's just a fact. When politics devolves into physical violence--overt or otherwise--you've reached a new low in the contest.

It's going to get worse: Republican voter suppression schemes in the battleground states, demonization, push polls, are now in full operation. It looks like the Justice Department itself is doing it's part in scaring potential voters away from the polls.

I think we all knew this was coming and thankfull the Obama campaign is not simply rolling over.

The way his campaign is being conducted in these final days is proof positive of the fact the John Sidney McCain III has been a charlatan his whole life. He's still the honorless, spoiled, irascible, petulant person he's always been. He's just 72 years old now, that's all.

And to think I almost voted for him in 2000 (if he hadn't gotten screwed in S. Carolina.)

I think we're seeing an unusually sleazy Republican voter suppression effort this year because of McCain's inability to get his numbers higher. Seems like in most of the polls that come out, McCain can never get above 44% or so of the vote. That's not going to cut it, unless they can get a ton of Obama voters to not vote. I think at this point that the GOP is just trying to keep the votes they have, and suppress Obama voters.

The idea of actually using your ideas to try to win over new voters is not going to be tried, apparently. He'd rather spend the last 2 weeks playing to the base.


Meanwhile, Obama is campaigning in traditional Republican strongholds, and today is going after McCain's strongest audience: seniors. The fact that McCain is having to play defense in Virginia and N.C. is telling. He's wasting time trying to keep those states red, when he should be in Florida, Ohio, and PA.

There are stupid people in all walks of life. Yep, some of them call themselves conservatives. big fucking deal. I'm sure there are plenty of liberals out there that would qualify as well.

It's hard to say what actually happened there from reading an obviously biased story. If it's as stated, well, shame on the perp. If not, shame on the writer.

I love how liberals only speak truth. lol, whatever.

Filters were discussed in another thread.

I have one, it's a bullshit filter.

Don't leave "home" without one.

PS The bullshit I am referring to is all the rhetoric. When people say this is the most important election ever or complain like Fly (or Olberman), my filter moves it into the comedy bin.

I like to think my bullshit filter is pretty well calibrated, and I still agree with Fly.
