Of all the Big Lies that come out of Poppy McCain's piehole these days...the absolute worst one is the one about how The Surge is such a big success...it has won the War in Iraq. And what truly terrifies me is that so many American now believe that myth, even Obama has bought the biscuit. "I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated ....It's succeeded beyond our wildest dreams."
When of course it's all bullshit. Shorter version: To strike back against the religious fanatics who attacked them on 9/11, the United States invaded the only secular country in the region, and turned it into Shiite dictatorship. Where the Sunnis now cower in their segregated neighbourhoods, waiting for the inevitable civil war. Hundreds of thousands are dead, millions of refugees can't go home. And the only winners are the Iranians. Who made the surge work...and now control a Shiite empire stretching from Iraq all the way to the Gaza Strip. How can McCain call that victory when it's the greatest geopolitical DEFEAT in the history of the United States. But doncha love that Ferris wheel?
The only one in the world where you have to be strip searched and take out life insurance before you get on. You know I'm glad that at long last Obama is going after McCain's Big Lies.
But until he can go after Poppy's BIggest Lie. Until Americans understand what's really happening in Iraq. Obama will be fighting McCain. With one arm behind his back...
I see that John McCain's campaign is accusing Barack Obama of using the race card.
“Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck,” Mr. McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, charged in a statement with which Mr. McCain later said he agreed. “It’s divisive, negative, shameful and wrong.” Which is not only absurd, but also has to be the most cynical and hypocritical thing I've seen in a long time.
Since, like I said last night, if anyone is dealing from the bottom of the deck....THEY are...
Because this ad is nothing less than racism hiding in plain view. Of all the famous celebrities they could have compared Obama to, why not Tom Cruise? Or Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Donald Trump, or Oprah Winfrey? Why Britney Spears and Paris Hilton? Why two white blond bimbos?
Only one reason. It's a somewhat tamer version of the white bimbo ad used so successfully against Harold Ford in Tennessee. In juxtaposing Barack Obama with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, the McCain campaign is simply trying to plant the old racist seed of black man hitting on young white woman. Not directly, but subliminally and disgracefully.
I agree. And so does this monkey. Hint: play the ad without sound. Remember the pictures tell the story. Check out the close-ups. It's not rocket science people....or a dark conspiracy theory. It's just TELEVISION. Race in America is a REAL factor not an imaginary one. Especially in a close race. How do you think they are going to bring back the ghost of Jeremiah Wright? It's nighttime in Amerika and the Lizard Monster is back. To be fair, I don't rule out the possibility that Poppy is so out of it that he actually thinks it is just about celebrity. Like subliminal has something to do with a submarine. Duh?
But his new campaign team knows EXACTLY what they're doing. They've seen the polls.Their Republican supporters have been laying the groundwork.
Just like they laid the groundwork for the next act today by accusing Obama of playing the race card, so anything he says to fight back will play into their hands. By making it look like he's just playing politics. And reinforcing both their charge AND the hidden message. Lordy. Somebody help us. The Lizard Monster is loose in Amerika. And anything could happen... ---------------------------------------------------- P.S. As if Obama didn't have enough problems. As if this wasn't Ludacris enough. "The first black president is destined and it's meant to be," go the lyrics, calling on voters to "paint the White House black. With idiot friends like that....
Uh oh. I see that John McCain has dropped his I'm a nice old guy routine, and turned into Crazy Johnny. And gone so off the deep end negative he's now comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
Gosh what a low tabloid blow. I felt like phoning Paris and Britney to try to cheer them up. Just because McCain compared them to a goody goody like Obama doesn't mean their careers are OVER. Does it? They can still get drunk....and drive. Can't they? Or do they have to pretend to be saints....like Madonna?
But seriously what IS Poppy trying to say? Obama is popular and I'm not ? So vote for me. Huh? That's original. Or is he so desperate he's just showing two slutty white bimbos and a black man....and hoping for the best? Or the worst. My advice? Give Poppy the Commander in Chief Test....
Then ask Americans whether they really want a senile old man trapped in the past who can't get even the most basic facts right about anything, who even his friends admit has a vicious temper. A man who believes in total war. Like the man he succeeded as senator from Arizona, Barry Goldwater--whose militaristic style alarmed voters when he ran for President in 1964--there is only one word to describe the prospect of John McCain with his finger on the button: scary.
A Crazy Johnny. Hovering anywhere near that nuclear button. And to help them decide .......play them an Evil Johnny version of this ad...
Kaboom. If Poppy wants to play Commander in Chief. And live in the past. Goo Goo. Gah Gah. AAAARGH. I say humour him...
As you know I have been working my butt off trying to get John McCain and Mike Huckabee to join forces and become the Republican Dream Ticket. Or what I like to call the Titanic Ticket. Nearer my God than thee. Glug. Glug. Glug. Last week I was more concerned about Hucky.
But since I ran that post....and the Huckabee Girl ad....the Huckster's fortunes have soared. So now I'm worried about Poppy. He doesn't seem to appreciate that he needs Hucky more than God's spear chucker needs him.
To this point in the campaign, Mr. Huckabee has been Paulie Walnuts to Senator McCain’s Tony Soprano. Moving forward, he takes on the role of the Washington Generals preparing to play Senator McCain’s Globetrotters in a a weekly barnstorming tour through the rest of the primary schedule. So I figure he needs a boost too. And not just viagra in his cornflakes. Or plastic surgery. Or a complete organ replacement job like Dick Cheney. I mean if Obammy can have a cool music video. So can Johnny...
Ten thousand years in Iraq. Now THAT's a surge !!!!!
All we'll need is the Hubble space telescope..... and we'll be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just slightly to the right of the Big Bang. Sweet Jebesus whatever you do... please don't let Poppy croak.
