panic mode
Oh, you'll love this. As bad as things are with the GOP, there's always time for the latest schadenfreudelicious chaos coming out of the left, and this one is quite tasty. Our Boston Globe columnist is in full panic mode because huge numbers of Democrats on both sides of the Obama/Clinton war are threatening to stay home or vote for McCain. Let's look at a few of these talking points,
Too bad McCain didn't let Bush pour said cement...dumbass. Just had to take a few swipes at Bush for beating you in the primary, didn't you?
First off, if he was a footsoldier in Reagan's revolution, Reagan probably would have thrown his ass in the brig, Reagan didn't have the luxury of having the House, Senate and White House. We did, and McCain was a major impediment to several major accomplishments, but I digress. He deserves credit for not going along with the demagoguery that some GOPers caved to on the CHIP program.
Also, awwww...someone's apparently upset that the plebes are allowed to arm themselves. Hey buddy, I can go out and buy a few of these right now if I wanted...
No, you can't take our away Second Amendment rights, NOT YOURS!

Look before you jump. Democrats thinking of voting for John McCain should ask themselves if they want a hot-tempered, right-wing Republican in the White House - keeping his foot on the gas in Iraq, sentencing women to illegal abortions, and pouring cement around President Bush's tax cuts for the rich.

A Republican in Republican's clothing. McCain is, my friends, a Republican, a self-described "foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution." He voted against expanding the children's health insurance program and against an assault rifle ban.

...and that must drive you patrician leftist vermin fucking crazy. God I love America. And before anyone says "That's a damn commie piece, put up a proper American gun," I picked the AK for its unrivaled antisocial reputation, give me that, or I'll do the unspeakable and post a pistol that isn't a 1911 variant. McCain also deserves some credit for not going along with the demagoguery on spooky lookin' weapons.
According to what? The dude has always been a moderate, he only got a bit more conservative because he was making a run for the White House, not to mention the fact that Congress passed nothing but RINO bilge and big fat spending bills when they were running it, so there hasn't been much for conservatives to vote for. Of course, there's been nothing but Democrat bilge since they've ran it,. Not much for him to vote on, outside of the occasional slapfight over Iraq or S-CHIP, and a few funding issues.
He then goes to the tedious "McCain can't tell the difference between Sunni and Shi'ite", from a few weeks ago when McCain said Iran had some involvement in training al-Qaida. Is anyone else as tired of this stupid distortion/lie as I am? I'm not a McCain fan, but there's no reason to use lies or distortions to criticize McCain, he hands out plenty reasons not to support him already that are all true already, show some sportsmanship, dumbass.
*GASP* You mean, he supports letting local taxpayers and voters decide how their own schools should be run? BLASPHEMY! Of course, if we went to a more privatized system or vouchers, we could bypass this problem altogether. Honestly, I don't believe in ID or Creation, but the shrieking opposition to them is so belligerent and obnoxious, I kinda hope the ID/Creation people stomp their asses someday.
Our columnist also flogs the weak Hagee-McCain/Wright-Obama equivocation. Which is such a pathetic line of attack, I don't even hear many lefties using it at this point. However, this was interesting,
Ah, so this isn't so much a "c'mon Democrats, let's all get around each other's candidate" as it is, "don't you Hillary supporters fucking think of screwing us out of our Hope'nChange!" He also talks about the Supreme Court, and McCain's connections to lobbyists, but I'm already bored with kicking this tedious douchebag around, you can do it if you want.
Between this opinion piece, the HuffPo piece yeserday, the NYMag piece before that, and this latest bit from the nutroots, they're desperately trying to turn the Democratic away from the iceberg. Even with McCain, this could well be the best election ever. It is definitely the most entertaining.
He's the eighth-most conservative senator in Congress, after being the second-most conservative senator the preceding session.
The
Washington Post found that he has voted with a majority of his Republican colleagues 88 percent of the time this session. Some maverick.

Roll over, Darwin. On teaching "intelligent design," he said: "I think that there has to be all points of view presented. . . . There's nothing wrong with teaching different schools of thought."

Et tu, Hillary? Clinton has been active in The Fellowship, a secretive, conservative Bible study and prayer group on Capitol Hill, Mother Jones reported last year. This explains her working with right-wing zealots like Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas and former senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. OK, I have now officially had it up to here with religion and politics. Can I get an amen?
