Barack Obama has Defeated the Republican Idiocracy

The economy is in the tank, the market is crashing, unemployment at a 14 year high, the auto industry in ruins, a trillion dollar deficit this year and likely the next because of Bush's malfeasance.  Can America recover?  Even more of a mystery, is George W. Bush on our side or the enemies? And if he is on our side, can we exchange him for 1/2 a barrel of oil and some falafel?

Eight long years, a long national nightmare, is about to come to an end.  The Republican Idiocracy seemed intent upon bringing America to her knees even more enthusiastically than bin Laden. I can only hope that this new president, Barack Obama, who is so impressive and intelligent, can bring about a reversal of our ill fortune brought to us and sponsored by the right wing and the Republicans.

Idiocracy is about to end, the sooner the better.  See below an example of Republican leadership.

Idiocracy Illustrated - Fox News: Palin didn't know Africa was a continent

 

Sarah Palin was  more than a Hail Mary Pass on the part of John McCain, it was pandering on a grand scale.  Only someone intent upon leading an idiocracy would believe women would switch from Hillary Clinton to Sarah Palin solely because of gender.  It was your policies, stupid.  What it comes down to is that this was a political campaign, not the Barnum and Bailey Circus.  There's a sucker born every minute - and choosing Palin was a sucker bet.

A Face in the Crowd - the Limbaugh Role Model

Sing to the tune of "The Brady Bunch' theme song. 

Here's the story, about a man named Limbaugh, who thought he was a gift on loan from God. 

Then he met a decadent party, restiing on names like Reagan and Bush

They got married and they had a bunch of Ditto Heads-

Ditto Heads, Ditto Heads and they all became a bunch of Ditto Heads

But, really, just faces in the crowd.

Life imitates art.  Just like this movie. A movie that  could be the Rush Limbaugh story.  Rush IS Lonesome Rhodes, with all the malevolence represented by him.   A poisonous, venomous malevolence and here is a sample.

This movie is on TMC on Sunday at 8 pm.  See it -- and think Rush Limbaugh.

WE know what a criminal White House looks like -- The Bush White House

Frank Rich Tells It Like It Is:  "And so we’re back where we started in the summer of 2001, with even shark attacks and Chandra Levy’s murder (courtesy of a new Washington Post investigation) returning to the news. We are once again distracted and unprepared while the Taliban and bin Laden’s minions multiply in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This, no less than the defiling of the Constitution, is the legacy of an administration that not merely rationalized the immorality of torture but shackled our national security to the absurdity that torture could easily fix the terrorist threat.

That’s why the Bush White House’s corruption in the end surpasses Nixon’s. We can no longer take cold comfort in the Watergate maxim that the cover-up was worse than the crime. This time the crime is worse than the cover-up, and the punishment could rain down on us all."

A good read.

Reason to Vote Republican

Makes you want to re-think that decision, doesn't it?

John McCain is Just OK With Enronomics.

John McCain and his friends, the practitioner's of Enronomics.  Apparently McCain's philosophy is let big oil do unto others -- just so long as they contribute big to the McCain Campaign.

Peace in Our Time" and "Mission Accomplished" = Two of a Kind

Appeasement - certainly, "peace in our time" represents a great foreign policy/strategic/military blunder. But now, now we have "mission accomplished" to represent another great foreign policy/strategic/military blunder.

"Mission accomplished" - yet the mission never was factual, it certainly wasn't accomplished, the unintended results have been great and negative, incompetence is demonstrated from the Oval Office and the neo-cons and our 'president' are discredited. The Republicans are not only broken, they're in disarray and routed.

Bush's "Mission Accomplished" quote is a current day equivalent to Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our Time." Those quotes equally symbolize and illustrate failure. Bush and Chamberlain both will be remembered forever as disasters in office.

For John McCain to question Barack Obama's preparation for job is a real hoot, like Chamberlain atacking Churchill because he wasn't prepared for the job. John McCain will, if elected, continue George W. Bush's disatrous policies, the policies of a man and a party that has had a Katrina like effect upon our nation. That's why McCain must be defeated.

John McCain - He Was For Talking to Hamas Before He Was Against It.

Barack Obama never said he'd talk to Hamas --- But John McWho did say HE'D talk to Hamas.  Flip and flop -- and John McWho is a flop

"In an interview on Sky News two years ago, McCain told James Rubin he was willing to negotiate with the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

The Republican presidential contender told the former Clinton State Department official: "They (Hamas) are the government, sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another."

He went on: "I understand why this administration and previous administrations had such antipathy toward Hamas because of their dedication to violence and the things that they not only espouse but practice, so...

"But it's a new reality in the Middle East. I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and decent future, that they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that.""

Rush Limbaugh - Coward of the AM Radio Cult

So, there I was - listening to Limbaugh and I'm inspired to call in and give him a hard time.  Conversation didn't last all that long -- but I got this in.  And then he wouldn't take anymore of my call.  Rush Limbaugh, too fat to fly and he can't dance either.

So the chaos, ladies and gentlemen, is not over.  The chaos will continue.  We have been successful beyond our wildest dreams.  We have created a bloodied Obama via our vessel of the Clinton campaign because the McCain campaign and the Republican Party refuse to do so.  Obama is no longer the messiah. Senator Kerry, once again, our objective was never to choose a nominee in your party.  We all started this when we knew Obama was the de facto nominee, just a matter of time as it was.  Our objectives have succeeded.  They are not over.  They shall continue.  Because, remember, the ultimate aim of Operation Chaos is Democrats losing in November.  Now to the phones to Williamstown, New York, we'll start with Bill.  It's great to have you, sir.  You're up first today. Welcome to the program.

CALLER:  Thank you very much. Let's correct it. It's Williamstown, Kentucky. RUSH:  Sorry about that, I misread the antiquated monitor and our call screener program. CALLER:  All right, great. RUSH:  What did I say? Williamstown what? What did I say? CALLER:  You said New York! RUSH:  Oh.  Well, this K looks like an M on our stupid computer. CALLER:  There you go.  Glad to talk to you.  We are on opposite sides, Mr. Limbaugh, but honestly it's an honor to speak to you. I think we're both of a kindred spirit in that we are both political junkies and enjoy this game, don't we? (laughs) RUSH:  It may be a game to you, sir.  It is life to me. CALLER:  Well, then let's put it this way.  We enjoy this war.  I enjoy the smell of napalm in the morning, too.  I would point out to you, sir, that this situation is such that I have to -- if you are indeed a factor in this race, I give you credit for this: You have actually enhanced the Democratic Party.  We have greater energy, more involvement. They are talking about our candidates.  I mean, it's not John McCain anymore. It's John McWho?  John McCain is the Bob Dole of this race.  I can't tell you how grateful we are that you have benefited the Democrat Party to this degree. RUSH:  Well, I'm glad that you have fallen for Operation Chaos in this fashion. CALLER: (laughing) RUSH: What do you think we've benefited the Democrat Party by what? Toughening up indoor candidate, Obama? CALLER:  I think like that rock in that tumbler that polishes them, yes. You've certainly polished both Obama and Hillary.  I would say that it doesn't (garbled) Obama's. RUSH:  I'm just going to be very honest with you, Bill.  The thing with Operation Chaos is we've telegraphed every move way in advance. We've given everybody in the Democrat Party an opportunity
