Hey, Precious! Fight Your Own Damn Battles. Seal Your Own Damn Deal.
Psst, Obama is a Weakling — Pass it on.
News last night from The NY Times, via Riverdaughter, that Obama has run home to Big Sister to plead with her to fight his battle with Saracuda Palin for him. Oh, the poor Precious! Can’t face a tough woman on his own, huh? What’s the matter Barack? Just tell Saracuda that she’s likable enough. Call her a Sweetie and tell the media that she gets moody and bitchy periodically when she’s feeling down. That oughtta work. Or send Sebelius — woo-hoo! I’m sure she can take on Palin and come out of the encounter victorious.
Nearly every single day, Barack Obama's campaign issues his latest tattle on whoever it is that has last offended his feelings.
And I must say, with appropriate solicitude, that it grieves me to witness a man who seeks to be the leader of the free world, a man who proclaims his fitness for the highest duty in the land, make a habit of whining and tattling every time he gets his wittle feelings hurt.
One shudders to think how our IslamoFascist enemies would deal with such girly-boy tirades.
Let's not even go there.
Let's just let that thought rest in peace, shall we.
Truly, it was bad enough when candidate Obama issued his string ofcomplaints against the other man in this contest, John McCain. It was bad enough when candidate Obama whined over how the words of his opponent's surrogates were breaking his fragile bones. One could nearly be brought to the brink of empathy for the city-boy, Barack, when his tormenters were men. But late Wednesday night, within minutes of the lovely lady, Mrs. Sarah Palin's speech in Minneapolis, the tattletale struck once again. I could nearly hear the girly-boy tantrum all the way over here in Atlanta.
I'm really having to hold back that shudder now.
Does Barack Obama actually think that Mrs. Sarah Palin, hockey mom, little lady from the sticks, is too tough for him? Tougher than Ahmadinejad, of Iran?
Now, this particular tattle on Sarah Palin came under the name of David Plouffe, Barack's campaign manager. I would have to guess that the candidate decided it might be seen as rather tacky if he, personally, whined over the vile 'attacks' made by that vicious lady in the skirt and heels, the one wearing the lipstick and the lovely gold necklace and earrings.
So, he delegated.
And his campaign issued what must be hailed as the most desperate, most childish, most pitiful tantrum so far in this contest for the Presidency.
'...Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago...'
Well, I never!
'...John McCain's attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part of this campaign.'
Lovely use of Alinsky velvet-revolution tactics; include the little people.
And the fallback position of tattletales throughout history, the whole world over:
'It's now clear that John McCain's campaign has decided that desperate lies and personal attacks -- on Barack Obama and on you -- are the only way they can...'
Win. Yes, dear lad, winning is the aim of every competition.
Did your mommy fail to teach you that?
Now, as a voter, and as a lady and a mother, I must take the matter of all this incessant whining, complaining and tattling to heart, and consider carefully what is to be done about it.
The Country is at stake here.
This is no time for the faint of heart to play follow-the-leader with a lad, who simply cannot take the heat of even a verbal-only political fray, much less the heat of a kitchen, where a lovely moose is roasting in the oven.
So, Barack, dear, it is high time to grow up now.Toughen that hide a bit. And if you can't withstand the torture of the words of your opponents, please be good enough to turn in your hockey stick. We have some truly strong men and women, who can make better use of it in the service of this great Country. Oh, sorry, I nearly forgot: Barack and Michelle aren't all that proud of America.
Perhaps they ought to go play in Europe and leave the rest of us to get down to the work that needs to be done, right here, right now....

i agree with sp4
Jaynie didn't say billions, dorkheads, and it was in all the papers and TV about her parading around in her clothes and jewelry worth millions!Her errings alone were worth more than most people pay for a house. Just didn't use good taste under the circumstances - we all know she's worth over million, but the campaign isn't the place to show it if her hubby is trying to appeal to the regular people. Is that so hard to understand - double duh!
I'll make this a message for most people intelligent enough to make the distinction between what is important and what is utterly trivial:the jewellry one wears is absolutely trivial,trying to use it in a debate about political ideas is ridiculous and unworthy of a democracy .I doubt that I will find this kind of insane arguments when I browse the internet for the history of the first years of the USA;te founding fathers had more important issues to debate,and so should most people nowadays .Compare such trivialities with the urgent problems of unemployment,education (the lack of which is displayed sufficiently here in the posts as it seems many people have no clue of the issues ).
McCain promises changes if he gets elected .I can't find any information about those changes,none at all.It seems changes is a magic word for some .willhe improve on education ?Will he kick out the creationists from classrooms ?Will he cure the economy?Has he got a plan to mend the financial crisis that rocks the fundaments of your financial markets ?Has he got the intelligence necessary to do so ?
Are these not the most important issues ?Compare that will the silly comments about jewellry and others and then tell me there is no need for a better educational system .
That is what millions of you are behaving like.
There is absolutely no purpose bleating on about what 'he said' or what 'she said'. It is pointless. These actors say or are told to say whatever is thought YOU want to hear. It means nothing.
So all this silly juvenile chatter covering pages and pages is a waste of time. It is all so incredibly boring to read.
The two parties have left you with an extremely bad choice of Presidential candidates. Probably the worst choice America has ever had.
McCain is without a doubt a person who has all the qualities of Presidential leadership. From appearance, ability, many years political experience, outstanding military service etc. etc. Although not perfect by any means - he has it all.
Obama, the black Pinocchio has NOTHING. He has done NOTHING, his experience is NOTHING, to put it plainly - he is NOTHING. Americans would be mad to put a Janitor in command of the Stock Exchange !
So let us stop all this stupid and pointless chatter and behave like intelligent human`s, NOT MINDLESS DARLEKS.
Let's DO ask about the issues.
Tonny, however, would rather ramble on about 'intelligence' and so we, in order to be polite, need to, once again, digress from these so-important issues, which the left, campaigning with three times the money and for twice as long on the national stage, have managed to avoid.
Libnazis, like the above, seem to think they have some kind of multi-meter to measure 'intelligence'. This being the case, they, promptly, went out and nominated a neophyte candidate with no record of achievement, for no other reason than he is black. This 'community Organizer' who, for the life of us, we cannot find what, exactly he ever 'organized, is held up as the Einstein of Statesmanship, the golden(calf) standard of excellence, all with an Equal-opportunity handicap on the race-normed sliding scale.
Intelligent? Well, you CAN buy a pretty cool multi-meter these days!
Then, they send a woman, who managed 18,000,000 votes, to the showers in favor of a lifetime, obstructionist, plagerizing, unimaginiative, libnazi apparatachick who got fewer votes in his primary than the republiucan VP pick got when she was mayor of WalrusTusk, AK.
Intelligent?
Now, these same libnazis' with their golden calf-boy king, held on their shoulders like some Buddhist child-god, dressed up with a bewildered look on his face, have the gall to insinuate that there is an 'intelligence' deficit on the right, after dumb ol GW allegedly fooled, by their own admission, the whole liberal senate on WMD's (!) and sent two of the smartest SOB's, by their own admission, to the dugout in a 2-0 no-hitter?
Now, they offer up the boy-king, the child-god, with the Libnazi church rubbing their prayer beads, chanting 'intelligence' as if the libnazi holy spirit will descend upon them and rose petals will drop from the heavens.
Then, some Hockey mom from Alaska runs his ass through in about 12 minutes.
Wanna discuss issues now?
'Compare such trivialities with the urgent problems of unemployment,education (the lack of which is displayed sufficiently here in the posts as it seems many people have no clue of the issues'
So your european superior thinks you are uneducated and is reiterating that just in case you missed that little nugget of information the first million times she misspelled it in her helper monkey typed diatribes trying to persuade you that the cure for what ails the USA is not being more like Belgium.
'I can't find any information about those changes,none at all.'
Go to www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues and knock yourself out.
'.It seems changes is a magic word for some'
Hope 'n Change...
...when you look at last week, and then view the liberal media, you get a very good picture of the left's beliefs and philosophies on leading and governing.
Palin's speech, inflammatory but not personal, correctly pointed out the glaring facts.
The left, grinding up their propaganda arm, the libnazi drive-by media, went straight to her personal life, in every possible way. They went off the hook on a hurricane too, something that happens EVERY year somewhere in America. To them, they are afraid of everything that threatens their image or perception of superiority, as Tonny readily illustrates in every post.
This is how the left deals with adverstiy, destroying personally, their opponents, vis a vis their libnazi inquisitors and propaganda arm, instead of the pointed, statesmanlike qualities shown by Senator McCain and Governor Palin. A glaring difference in leadership.
Ok then I visited the site you proposed,here is McCain's program on health care
sorry for the copy and paste:
Cheaper Drugs: John McCain will look to bring greater affordability and competition to our drug markets through safe re-importation of drugs and faster introduction of generic drugs.
Chronic Disease: Chronic conditions account for three-quarters of the nation's annual health care bill. By emphasizing prevention, early intervention, healthy habits, new treatment models, new public health infrastructure and the use of information technology, we can significantly reduce these costs. We should dedicate more federal research to treating and curing chronic disease.
Coordinated Care: Coordinated care - with providers collaborating to produce the best health care for the patient - offers better outcomes at lower cost. We should pay a single bill for high-quality care which will make every single provider accountable and responsive to the patients' needs.
Greater Access And Convenience: Families place a high value on quickly getting simple care. Government should promote greater access through walk-in clinics in retail outlets.
Information Technology: John McCain will promote the rapid deployment of 21st century information systems and technology to improve patient safety, enhance quality and lower costs.
Medicaid And Medicare: John McCain will reform the payment systems in Medicaid and Medicare to compensate providers for diagnosis, prevention and care coordination. Medicaid and Medicare should not pay for preventable medical errors or mismanagement. We also need to implement a zero tolerance policy towards Medicare and Medicaid fraud that is increasingly stripping away resources from the sick and the elderly.
Smoking: John McCain will promote the availability of smoking cessation programs. Most smokers would love to quit but find it hard to do so. Working with businesses and insurance companies to promote availability, we can improve lives and reduce associated chronic diseases through smoking cessation programs.
Tort Reform: John McCain will lead the fight for medical liability reform that eliminates lawsuits directed at doctors who follow clinical guidelines and adhere to proven safety protocols. Every patient should have access to legal remedies in cases of bad medical practice but that should not be an open invitation to endless, frivolous lawsuits that drive up health care costs for everyone and make the practice of medicine unaffordable for good doctors everywhere.
Transparency: John McCain believes we must make information on treatment options and doctor records more public, and require greater transparency regarding medical outcomes, quality of care, costs and prices. We must also facilitate the development of national standards for measuring and evaluating treatments and outcomes.
Reforms To Make Health Insurance Innovative, Portable And Affordable
Health Care Costs: John McCain will reform health care making it easier for individuals and families to obtain insurance. Americans are working harder and longer, yet the amount workers take home in their paychecks is not keeping pace because of rising health care costs. An important part of his plan is to use competition to improve the quality of health insurance with greater variety to match people's needs, lower prices, and promote portability. Families should be able to purchase health insurance nationwide, across state lines.
Making the Tax Subsidy Fair: By making the tax code more equitable and transparent, John McCain will give every family a refundable tax credit - cash towards insurance - of $5,000 (Individuals receive $2,500). Every family in America, regardless of the source of their insurance or how much they make will get the same help. Families will be able to stay with their current plan, or choose the insurance provider that suits them best and have the money sent directly to the insurance provider.
Making Insurance More Portable: Americans need insurance that follows them from job to job. Too many job decisions today are controlled by a fear of losing health care. Americans want insurance that is still there if they retire early and does not change if they take a few years off to raise the children. John McCain will lead the reform for portable insurance

Analyzing this you'll see nothing but intentions based on actions that are to be performed by your private health insurers.This is no reform,it is just empty words with no results to be expected .Reality is simple :our health care insurance companies only are concerned with maximum profit.That goes against the interests of the patints,obviously .Those companies will sabotage any reform that reduces their margins of pofit.The government will then have to introduce a wide array of control mechanisms tp scrutinize every patient,resulting in an incredivle red tape burocracy with virtually no result .even children understand that patienys and shareholders of inirance companies have mutual exclusive interests .Combining those is impossible,it is as simple as that .By making you believe that he will choose your benefits over corporate greed McCain is only playing with your health and wellbeing .His attitiude towards Michael Moore is enough proof that there is nothing to be expected from him.Time to modernize,time to reduce costs for medical insurance and improve efficiency .Indeed for once the USA can learn from most european countries.There is no thing wrong with that,it is yourr own interest.
..when we want clarity, Americans run straight to Michael Moore. To us he's the frikkin Walter Chronkite of american journalism. When we see that fat f--k, we all run to Subway and shower him with Sandwiches.
The left in america, has been mouthing some kind of single pay, health care myth, for thirty five years. Ted 'chappaquiddick' Kennedy has succcessfully milked this cow for his whole career, in promise after promise, without a single success to show.
Hillary, you remember her, don't you?...picked it up as a prep for running for office, convenently dropping it after getting all the political benefits, just like old Ted, and then not hearing another thing.
No wonder the dems showed her the door.
Meanwhile, for the last thirty years, republicans have been, quietly, bring the number of insured up all over america, to the present number, grown under GW Bush, from his predecessor and his nightmare wife, to just about 85%. Take the illegal aliens, STILL serviced any ANY federally funded emergency room, out of the equation, and the REAL number runs up to about 90%. (No wonder they stream over the border!) Then remove those who actually could purchase care but choose not to and it even goes higher. At the end, 6 to 7 million who really need to be covered.
The care itself? Typically, for life threatening diseases and conditions, we are 25 to 50% more effective at saving or prolonging life. After all, you do not see wealthy Americans going overseas for treatment of these diseases, like the foreigners come here to receive. Programs like Mitt Romney's total insurance program, modeled after the most successful european models in Switzerland, will cover virtually everyone, and inject competition to control costs. Like H. Ross Perot said 'go find success and emulate it.'
God, do we miss him. Apparantly, Romney was listening. Pity HE's not running.
To me, this is just another example of the way we can expect the left to lead, a Katrina every day, the-sky-is-falling politics, the culture of grievence morphing into the culture of paranoia, no character or bravery having sent the one candidate who has both to the showers, and proceeding with Mike Moore disingenuousness at every turn. These are the same folks who now say the Iraq surge is, now, 'succeeding beyond our wildest dreams!'
No, Junior, it is just proceeding as planned.
Perhaps this will be good if they ahcieve power, after all, their could have never been the Reagan Revolution without the Carter Debacle.

You don't gain influence by losing elections and I would much rather we didn't have a debacle just so we can blame the opposition. Wishing for disaster on the country to score a few political points is working Harry Reid's side of the street.
So you are supporting the Old Man and the Shrew? How can you honestly scream about how Obama lies, and then the first speech from your dried up old hag baby factory of a vice president candidate is full of lies and you are so in love with the liar? 80% of what she claimed she did, she did not do. 80% of what her first speech was full of lies? I just don't get you bible thumpers.
I guess it is easy to lead a party that elected GWB twice, you do not have a mind of your own. If you believe that Jesus would have done it you will do it. What a bunch of lemmings, please hurry off the cliff.
'Take obama off the teleprompter and he just drools'
It actually impresses you that your new Shrew can tell a joke? Can you really say you have ever heard her speak while Bush's speech writer is drink water?
Not one question from reporters? Sounds like she really has a mind of her own---not!
For clarification from Websters:
Maverick, a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.
Let's break that down.
1. Lone dissenter: Hardly, he voted for his party and Bush's failed policies 90% of the time. About the only thing he 'dissented' on was Iraq stance, so he got 10% correct?
2. As an Intellectual: Hardly, even he has acknowledged he is 'not that great' at economics, and about the only thing anyone would consider him an 'intellectual' in would be war.
3. An Artist: NO!
4. or a Politician: He gets one here as his partners for the last 8 years (Bush and Cheney) he is for sure a politician!
5. Independent: One cannot be an 'independent' if one supports his party 90% of the time.
Sorry boys, he is way past his prime. If he was the same now as in 2000 he would have a chance on making people believe he is for change.
p.s. the only reason he chose Palin is to bring in money from the republican base. Give her time she will chase away plenty, as soon as her inexperience comes to the front. Her lies will not stand. Too little too late!
'he chose Palin is to bring in money from the republican base'
Aw, come on:
republican base = fundamentalist christians.
Polite way of saying: he chose Palin is to bring in donations from fundamentalist christians and to continue the bloodletting:

Palin...what a joke!!! If this floosie and that round two faced liar gets in the Whitehouse you can kiss your freedoms gone!!!
Palin=Stalin
...the dems sent the shrew to the showers, or do you not remember? She only got 18000000 votes, too.
Palin frightens libnazis like you to no end. Why?
We all know someone like her. It is her normalness that just unhinges the left. No nose rings, no hollywierdo backround, just that I'm-your-mom-and-I-know-whats-right attitude that just f--ks with your head.
The dem libnazi machine, paired up an old, tired, obstuctionist, plagerizing liberal thinking that the GOP would follow suit with another Cheney look-alike.
Talk about missing the mark...and you want these chuckleheads to lead??? Honestly, they might be Thomas Jeffersons for all I know, but they really were asleep on this one.
Face it...she dinged Obama, all without looking nervous or with any reference to race, etc. It was that mom-ish charm that just has them crapping their pants. This was real Conservatism, not the evolved bullsh-t conservatism of the 1990's that is such a disappointment to the real conservatives. She did not look nervous or plastic. It just enraged the libnazi drive-by media who descended onto talk TV the next day, and proceeded to attack her family. After all, we have not heard some of this for way to long a time and she woke the sleeping giant.
The conservative base has been energized...and they are pissed.
Above...
Drink the Kool Aide. Be a good Republican.
we love sp4 and his bedtime stories
