Cheney endorses His buddy McBush

Dick Cheney emerges from his bunker to help out his old pal, John McBush pretends like they were never clowns in the same circus,

Obama’s really more like Cheney than McCain, they argued, and referenced something Obama used to joke about, the discovery that Obama’s and Cheney’s family trees are distantly linked. “Barack Obama and Dick Cheney aren’t just cousins, they’ve shared support for the Bush energy policy and the out-of-control spending that John McCain has fought to oppose,” said the response from McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds

We’ve been down this road countless times. McCain voted with Bush the vast majority of the time. Absurdly some McCain supporters are trying to make the case that since Bush signed off the three bills that Obama got enacted, Obama thus voted with Bush 100% of the time. Since its beyond doubt that Obama never sponsored a bill pushed by the opposition party’s administration, its more like Bush approved of Obama’s bills 100% of the time.

Part of Senator Obama’s reply,

I’d like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn’t come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington’s biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney’s support. But here’s my question for you, Colorado: do you think Dick Cheney is delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain’s going to bring change? Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney have been talking about how to shake things up, and get rid of the lobbyists and the old boys club in Washington?

Glenn Greenwald takes a look at the Right’s upper escalon pundits and their attempts to portray Senator Obama as a Muslim without actually saying the M word. Which in today’s political climate is the same as trying to otherize Obama.

This came on the heels of one of the tough-guy Powerline warriors deciding (with National Review cheering) that the politician to whom Obama bears the closest substantive resemblance is Rep. Keith Ellison, an African-American who is also the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress. This tactic is more pathetically desperate than it is anything else — it hasn’t worked yet and isn’t likely to

Maybe it is working with some low information voters – Barack Obama warns of last ditch ‘dirty tricks campaign’ to scare away supporters – on the other hand the Right might have reached its smear saturation point. Everyone that wants to believe Obama is whatever – fill in the blank – they are not going to convert anyone new to their flat earth-like theories at this point. One of the Conservative anti-Obama messages floating around the net is that Obama can’t get a security clearance because of his alleged radical associations. I guess that Bush and Cheney are in on the plot to cover up Obama’s Manchurian status, Obama receiving intel briefings

Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell told a public symposium in Nashville on Oct. 30 that the intelligence briefings for Sens. John McCain, R-AZ, and Barack Obama, D-Ill, have been part of an official transition process approved by the Bush administration that has also included briefings for their campaigns.

Should Senator Obama be declared president elect in a couple of days – which seems likely, Senator Obama will start to get excatly the same high level President’s Daily Briefing that Bush gets everyday. Hasn’t Bush heard that Obama has a fake birth certiftcate and pals around with terrorists.

When you worship at the alter of gutter politics you’re bound to get some major information wrong. While there are too still many people that buy into this stuff, the Right might have put on its Chicken-Little act one too many times. Latest GOP smear plot revealed: Professor paid to try to tie Ayers to Obama biography

The brother of a Republican congressman and a Republican businessman attempted to pay an professor in Oxford to use software he designed to “prove” that 1960s radical William Ayers helped write Sen. Barack Obama’s biography. The professor, Dr. Peter Millican, teaches philosophy at Hertford College, Oxford. His software is designed to detect when works are by the same authors by comparing the use of similar words and phrases. The offer was revealed Sunday in a British newspaper. “He was entirely upfront about this,” the professor said of the Republican businessman (Robert Fox, a California GOP businessman) who made the offer. “He offered me $10,000 and sent me electronic versions of the text from both books.” Millican said he took a preliminary look and found the charges that Ayers had had a hand in ghostwriting Obama’s book “very implausible.” A deal was agreed for “more detailed research,” the paper said, but when Millican “said the results had to be made public, even if no link to Ayers was proved, interest waned.” The Republicans sought to allege similarities between Obama’s Dreams of My Father and Ayers’ Fugitive Days.

Que the Two Stooges, The GOP businessman Robert Fox is now trying to lay blame on his brother-in-law, Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT) who in turn is saying it was all Fox’s idea.

McCain’s campaign manager claims the race isn’t close. Nope McBush has made a comeback that will make the history books, John McCain: The Comeback Very Old Kid

“We believe, with the combination of our base states and the states we’ve been able to put into play this week, we can achieve 270.”

McCain would have to win every non-decided voter plus a few Democrats to win. He has a 2.8% chance of winning. I think, or hope this comment at the link is satire,

Obama’s use of hypnosis in speeches is why:

-nothing sticks to him

-the huge crowds

-the huge money contributions

-the mesmerized effect, especially in young people, who, because of their imaginations are more susceptible to hypnosis (read the document)

-the exorbitant election fraud, rule-breaking and bias in the media

-he gets away with changing every position

-people are calling him the “greatest leader of a generation” with no accomplishments You have to read this document to understand how his hypnosis works. Logically and rationally, why not get to know this guy a little more before handing the world over to him? Why not wait?

The Mass Hypnosis Axiom. In the Netherland of Wingnuttia that probably does warrant further research. Notice that in keeping with the Axiom, Conservative tin-foil hats with the fold down visors would make them imperious to the Mass Hypnosis.
