Jeez, talk about your sore losers, McCain himself said that Obama has picked some marvelous people for his cabinet on the Letterman show tonight! Get over it! There are more Mexicans than Goldwater Republicans in the USA now. Knock off this "American Dream" crap and taste the new American Reality.
If you want to be taken seriously don't mention Sarah Palin. You betcha! |

And hopefully this marks the death of ultra conservatism in a way similar to what happened to communism a decade or two ago. Time for a much more blended mindset - a wonderful shift of paradigm. And in the end, isn't that truly what the socalled "American Dream" is all about? I mean, before it was hijacked by the military fascists who sort of indicate that to be a TRUE American with hand on heart, tears in the eyes and gun (and sexuality) in the closet you MUST be an ultra right winger believing in the "small-town-set" of values? Hopefully all that will fade away and die out with the current believers. Peace! H

Then again, I felt bad for McCain. He was truly in a no-win situation. All along he realized he was up against a historic tide where obviously so many African-Americans were going to come out in force in order to elect Obama, all so they could put the first Black president in office. And the joke of that? Howard Stern did an amazing bit on the radio where he sent someone up to Harlem to ask people on the street WHY they were voting for Obama. At which point, the person would read off a list of various political positions to the people, to which they would get excited and say: "That's right! That's exactly what I believe, too! Barack's political positions are totally in tune with what I believe!"... ...The joke being, of course, that literally ALL of the statements that were read to the people were McCAIN's political positions on the issues. As for Palin, I wouldn't be so dismissive of her if I were you. She's certainly going to be a future force to be reckoned with. You can betcha that. First of all, SHE is what energized the Right wing base and even made it a race. SHE is what brought the Republicans and Conservatives together -- NOT McCain. Which brings us full circle to why no one on the right cares that McCain supports Obama's cabinet choices on Letterman -- Hell, McCain even being back on Letterman, once again to praise Obama, just shows how spineless he's now become in the end, how appeasing McCain has become about just wanting to be liked in the aftermath of things. If anything, Palin showed the most spine and character by now telling Oprah to fuck off and to pound any interview requests up her ass, after the way Oprah snubbed her during the actual race. And second, keep these thoughts in mind, too. A recent poll showed that Palin remains the overwhelming choice of Republicans to run the next time around, only this time at the TOP of the ticket. But even more interesting was another poll recently showed that a whopping and truly astounding 78% of the American voters -- we're talking nearly 8 out of 10 voters, regardless of which side of the political aisle they come from -- felt Sarah Palin had been treated UNFAIRLY by the media and she did NOT get fair coverage at all during the election. An astounding 8 out of 10 people, now post-election, feel the media did not do it's job and they showed a clear bias. Which means the next time around, people are NOT going to let the media get away with the smear tactics they did this time...nor will they let the media whitewash the Obama side of things. In fact, here's another interesting note: the glow is clearly off Obama already. A poll released this weekend showed Obama's approval rating was now down to 65%. On the surface, that might sound high and good -- but keep in mind that with a country essentially split at this point between those who lean Right and those who lean Left, that means Obama now only has a 15 point margin before he hits the tipping point where literally HALF of the country would be AGAINST him. A lot of Obama's fall from grace has to do with the economy (polls show people don't think he's taking an active enough role in things), plus the Illinois Senate seat-selling scandal is also contributing to things. Plus, it's become obvious that many reporters are now vocally...and FINALLY...asking tough and honest questions about "what" Obama knew with regards to the dirty politics that went on in Chicago (as a Congressman and then a Senator). And as one commentator put it today on the news, this scandal - as more and more dirt and names come out -- is now threatening the tarnish the inauguration. Plus, when Obama gets sworn in in January...and the economy is then still utter shit in February, with more and more people still being laid off...the general public won't be blaming Bush anymore. They'll be looking right at the Oval Office and the Democratically controlled Congress and saying "Okay, NOW we start blaming YOU." |

Apparently Creativemind worships the Limbaugh-Palin reactionary mentality. McCain was simply trying to be a decent human being trying to calm down the hate filled uber conservatives on the right. Palin is a dark dangerous cloud on the horizon. If this country is to survive as a free accepting society we need to foster reason and humanity.
