Explicitly Ambiguous

the Obamobots or the McCainiacs but it’s nice to see AP writers still sticking a knife in her back for their Messiah the One.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called her critics cowards and jerks Friday for deriding her anonymously and insisted she never asked for the expensive wardrobe purchased for her use on the presidential campaign.

Palin denounces her critics as cowardly

Get em girl. Take on the failed McCain team. They couldn’t get jack shit elected if they tried. You fought. Their guy didn’t. McCain has no freaking honor. Epic fail on his part.

All the leaking by the McCain aides smells to high heaven. IMO, they knew their candidate sucked and that she was the one that appealed to the base so they’re now trying to blame her. As far as the damned clothes are concerned I call bullshit on their version of the story.

This is a woman who went into a Walmart to buy diapers and bought the store brand diapers for her son. I don’t see her as someone who would shop at those high falutin stores that McCain’s wife shops at. It’s bullshit and his aides know it. Palin chose to go back to wearing her clothes.

I was thrilled to see photos of her in jeans and comfortable clothes.

The McCain campaign are the ones with the misguided idea that we, the voters, need to see a candidate dressed like she just stepped off the freaking fashion runway. Do they really want to get into the clothes thing when McCain’s wife most likely spent $300,000.00 on one outfit for one freaking night of the convention? Keep in mind this was the same night she and Mrs. Bush were talking about the victims of the hurricane.

BTW, go to the link above and and look at that photo.

Then tell me who has more class. McCain’s wife or Laura Bush. Evidently being rich doesn’t translate to having taste in clothing. The night I saw this craptastic outfit (and I don’t care who designed it.. it looks like early Judy Neutron) I told my husband I hoped to god someone had the sense to choose better clothing for her. Cindy McCain’s taste in clothing reminds me so much of Semi-homemade’s Sandra Lee’s god awful tablescapes. Ugh.

It was a tough battle between Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama to see who had the worst taste in clothing. Between McCain’s pseudo Mrs. Cleaver look and Michelle Obama’s dresses made from frabric ripped from a curtain rod.

My taste is simple and I don’t think it would change if I had tons of cash. Simple clothing. Simple suits. Jeans, t-shirts, and sweaters. God help me I can NOT stand neon colors and pastel colors. Or hideous flowered patterns. Black and red, baby, black and red. Do not even talk to me about the color pink. Jesus!

Whew.. sorry bout that. I’d held all that in and I guess I needed to get it out. lol

From Obama’s site:

America Serves

“When you choose to serve — whether it’s your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood — you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That’s why it’s called the American dream.”

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

*Emphasis mine

Let’s look up the definition of “require”:

1. to have need of; need
2. to call on authoritatively; order or enjoin to do something
3. to ask for authoritatively or imperatively; demand.
4. to impose need or occasion for; make necessary or indispensable
5. to call for or exact as obligatory
6. to place under an obligation or necessity

That sure doesn’t sound “voluntary” to me.

*Update

Looks like there’s been a “change” on the site:

America Serves

President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

Really presidential. Gee, if this is what his presidency is going to be like it’s going to be a fun four years.

Oh and I wonder, after seeing his first press conference, if his toilet paper has “Toilet paper of the President Elect” on it…

In the beginning I was going to support Rudy. Then Fred came into the race and I changed my mind. After that, in the end, it was McCain. I’ve never really liked McCain. I’m not one of those “bi-partisan” believing Republicans. I’ve watched how they reach across the aisle and it doesn’t get shit done. The other side never bends on anything other than superfluous issues.

Oh yeah, they’ll vote to rename the Hooberbloob highway the Gomer Pyle highway. THAT’s what they consider worthy of bi-partisanship. Or they’ll demand that Republicans vote for something so that they don’t have to take it up the ass from their side and the Republicans catch hell from our side in the end. (Bailout bill sound familiar?)

The only thing that made McCain even worth considering in my book was Sarah Palin.

SHE I could get excited about. Hell, I think the major bitching point of the McCain aides is that they know the old man could only draw small crowds while she appeared in front of huge crowds. She drew the base while Mr. Wonderful couldn’t even draw the independents and Democrats he was supposed to appeal to.

McCain failed. She didn’t. So now his people are attempting to throw all of the blame at her.

Fucking shit flinging monkeys are going to regret that.

Redstate has started Operation Leper.

Personally any one who blames Palin is going to incur my wrath. If McCain runs again I’m donating to his opponent. Republican OR Democrat. That goes for all the other shit flinging monkeys I’m paying the salary of including Specter.

If they’re goddamned RINOS why not go ahead and elect a fucking democrat in their place?

I have no problem backing up my beliefs with money even if it means I have to eat fucking bologna sandwiches!

I believed Tuesday that he wasn’t the right man to be President, IMO, to turn around and on Wednesday say he’s my President makes me either a hypocrite or a liar.

I am not a hypocrite or a liar.

He is not my President.

From Newsbusters: CNBC’s Deutsch: ‘You Need a Commander in Chief That’s Going to Give the Country a Hug’

Deutsch appeared on CNBC’s Election Night coverage to explain how the country needs a hug and Obama was just the right guy to do - in his psychoanalysis of the nation’s temperament.

Well Jesus H. Christ if we had known that that was what it took to win the Republicans could have run Barney the fucking dinosaur!

The IQ level of our country seems to have sunk to levels unknown. Good lord.

So now McCain’s “aides” are coming out ripping Palin to pieces in Newsweek. Most of it if true says more about McCain’s people and McCain.

I wondered why she didn’t speak last night. Now I know.

Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

I think I know why the venom.

Because their fair haired old fart couldn’t draw huge crowds unless she was there as well. They damned well know she was more popular than McCain.

McCain was sold to conservatives as someone who could get elected because of his bi-partisanship.

Bullshit. We were sold a bill of goods.

He didn’t deliver so now she has to be crucified.

I don’t think they’d have been happy to see this:

I’m sure when he was glad handing all ya’ll in coal country that he was careful not to say something like this. But then he turns around and says this to a paper in another part of the country.

Can you really trust him?

“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”

How about this Obama… how about we discuss true selfishness. YOURS.

You have chosen to waste god only knows how much money on your SELFISH pursuit of the Presidency when you’re supposedly all broken up about those who do without. How many people could you have helped with the money you wasted on that stupid assed infomercial of yours? Jesus Christ you are a fucking hypocrite of the highest order.

Don’t you fucking DARE to open your mouth and talk about those of us on the other side being selfish.

STFU and get ready to watch as your ass gets handed to you next Tuesday.

You do more to hinder yourself than anyone else can.

Thank you for firing up the Republicans and anyone else who is tired of your ego and your hypocrisy.

You are going to lose next Tuesday but you know what? That’s not good enough. I will personally donate to the person who will oppose you when you come up for re-election in the Senate.

You need to go back to Illinois and stay.

Andrew Rice (D-OK) Refuses to Listen to Gold Star Mom Angelia Phillips

I’m fed up watching people whine about how we’re losing. Bullshit. If you’ve given up and believe all the lying going on in the media and coming from the Obama campaign then YOU have given up. The rest of us haven’t!

They’re trying to demoralize us so we won’t vote.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Don’t pay attention to polls!

Fight as though McCain is down 50% in the polls! DO NOT FUCKING GIVE UP!

It comes down to one question… what are you prepared to do?

Are you willing to fight tooth and nail? Are you willing to crawl over broken glass to vote Tuesday?

By God they don’t know Republicans and PUMAs!

We’re tired of the lying!

We’re tired of being called racists simply because we’re not voting for the empty suit!

We’re tired of the sexist attacks and lies about Sarah Palin! BTW, I don’t care what the FUCK she wears! It’s about character! Something their candidates lack!

We’re tired of the media and the left attacking african americans who dare to speak out against Obama and for McCain!

We are fucking angry that their candidate and his followers think it’s appropriate to attack the character of a man whose sin was asking a simple question. Joe was approached by Obama not the other way around you assholes! Digging into the private life of a voter is reprehensible and a warning to the general public of what will happen if Obama is elected! If they do it to Joe they’ll do it to you!

We are fucking FED UP with the MSM being in the tank for Obama. Objective? My ass! They don’t know the meaning of the fucking word!

We are sick unto death of the RINOs (Buckley, Will, Noonan, Powell, Shays, etc) in our party who are more concerned for their next jobs or invitations to cocktail parties inside the beltway than the direction our country will take if the leftist is elected. If you don’t like the direction of the party may I humbly suggest you change your fucking party affiliation?

How about cheering for our side for once you elitist fucking snobs!

I could go on for days!

DO NOT GIVE UP! We fight the hardest at the end! Fight until this is over!

He spouts off about “doing unto the least of these” yet he has relatives he doesn’t seem to give a rat’s ass about. Poor relatives who struggle while he made 4.6 MILLION last year.

His Aunt, just found in Boston, gave HIM a $265 campaign contribution.

The man is a hypocrite AND an asshole.

I try to help my relatives when they have problems.

He goes on an on about taxing the wealthy.. yet he’s wealthy and he can’t see fit to find his own relatives and help them.

Of course that might mean Michelle might have to give up buying another dress that looks like it was recently hanging on a curtain rod.

THAT would truly be cruel.

Is it any wonder they’re concerned about the country having seen this man in action? What he’ll stoop to doing to get elected? Having done a little research into what happened I don’t blame them for saying I told you so. They’re right!

Hillary Backers Decry Massive Obama Vote Fraud

Obama 2001 on “Redistribution of wealth”. Not a discussion of whether it’s good or bad.. a discussion on how best to implement it.

Transcript:

If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order as long as I could pay for it I’d be o.k. But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendancy to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that.

OBAMA SAYS CONSTITUTION DEEP FLAW CONTINUES TODAY

Saw something today that pissed me off no end. I can’t believe anyone would actually believe Obama and Biden care about the disadvantaged. If they do believe it they’re either blind or hopelessly deluded.

OBAMA’S OCT 1-15 SPENDING = $105,599,963.76 That’s more than $293,000 an hour.

Let’s say he actually DID want to do something for the disadvantaged:

He could have given 17,599 people $600.00 for food for a month
He could have given 52,799 people $200.00 for one office visit to the Doctor
He could have given 527 young people $20,000.00 for college
He could have paid for a years worth of utilities for 2,200 FAMILIES (400.00 a month allowed for utilities)
He could have bought 703 people a new car (15,000.00) so they could get back and forth to work

He could have done this with what he spent on 15 DAYS of spending on his campaign.

IMO, that is obscene and it is hypocritical in the extreme for him to talk about his concern for the disadvantaged.

Wait you say perhaps he and Biden donate to charity.

Obama:
It is also well documented that in 2005 and 2006, the only noteworthy items in the Obama tax returns were that (a) their charitable contributions rose to 3.5% ($92,867)of their adjusted gross income which now included book proceeds and amounted to $2.6M, (b) they continued to amass virtually no savings with total interest and dividend income in 2006 amounting to $5700 while earnings exceeded $1.6M in 2006 and $991K in 2007 and (c) following Senator Obama’s election to the United States Senate, they reported an almost tripling of Mrs. Obama’s salary from the University of Chicago Hospitals to $316,962 and her new Boards of Directors’ fees of $45,000.

Biden:
Despite income ranging from $210,432 - $321,379 over the ten-year period, the Bidens have given only $120 - $995 per year to charity, which amounts to 0.06% - 0.31% of their income.

Now for their opposition:

McCain:
This giving compares very unfavorably to John McCain, whose tax returns show that he gave 27.3% - 28.6% of his income to charity in 2006-2007.

My husband and I donated more than Biden and our income is less than 1/4 of what he makes.

Don’t give me that shit about Democrats caring more for people.

Oh unless you cut the bullshit and describe it like this:

Obama believes in forced redistribution of wealth: taxes and government policies
(The government takes your money from you and does what it thinks should be done with it. You don’t have a choice. It’s forced on you.)

McCain believes in voluntary redistribution of wealth: charity
(You keep more of your money and you make the choice to help others.)

If you’re slow on the uptake it all comes down to this: the Democrats don’t want to donate out of their pockets they want to ram their hand in YOUR pocket and take YOUR money and give it to those they see fit. Instead of you making the decision to donate to charity.

Socialism, anyone?

Color me surprised. NOT!

How’s Obama Going to Raise $4.3 Trillion?

Do the frigging math people.

Have you ever wondered why billionaires like George Soros financially support politicians who say they will “increase taxes on the rich”?

Obama is trying to adjust what he meant with the “spread the wealth” comment to Joe.

Now he’s trying this “spreading around opportunity”

Sorry, doesn’t work. Means THE SAME DAMNED THING!

Does he really think the American people are that fucking stupid??

Obama’s response to the event was published on September 19th in the Hyde Park Herald:

Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.

We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.

We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe—children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shore

Evidently he thinks we need to give the whole world a good cuddle and hand over tons of money so that they don’t think it’s “okay” to fly planes into buildings and kill nearly 3000 people.

Fuck that, Senator.

There is such a thing as evil and we saw it on 9/11.

You seek out evil and destroy it.

They say Obama won it.

Uhh… yeah. But it wasn’t scientific. Anyone could vote in it. I know because I wanted to see if it was possible.

I voted twice.

So don’t get wound up about it. lol
