I Ought To Slap You People!

So check this out.  This is part of a transcript from an episode of Charlie Rose that aired last Friday, that I lifted from Rush Limbaugh's website.

ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don't either.

ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: You know that's an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches, two of them.

BROKAW: I don't know what books he's read.

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.

*********************************************************************************

Now read that again.

And read it one more time.

These fuckers who, as part of the Pampers News Networks, have been genuflecting before Pampers for two years.  Now, four days before the election they are finally admitting THEY DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS!!!!

Are you fucking kidding me?  You assholes!!!  Now this fucker is headed to the White House.  It was your job to tell us who he is.  You spent so much time worshipping him that you didn't bother to ask any questions.  

We've been telling you douchebags who Obama is for two years.  This country is filled with the dumbest people in the world, starting with the morons in the press.

Now, look at this...also from the Charlie Rose show.  He was talking with Evan Thomas and  and Jon Meacham.

MEACHAM: He's very elusive, Obama, which is fascinating for a man who's written two memoirs. At Grant Park he walks out with the family, and then they go away.

ROSE: Mmm. Mmm-hmm.

MEACHAM: Biden's back, you know, locked in the bar or something.

ROSE: (haughty chuckle)

MEACHAM: You know, they don't let him out. And have you ever seen a victory speech where there was no one else on stage?

ROSE: Mmm.

MEACHAM: No adoring wife, no cute kid. He is the messenger.

THOMAS: There is a slightly creepy cult of personality about all this. I mean, he's such an admirable --

ROSE: Slightly. Creepy. Cult of personality.

THOMAS: Yes.

ROSE: What's slightly creepy about it?

THOMAS: It -- it -- it just makes me a little uneasy that he's so singular. He's clearly managing his own spectacle. He's a deeply manipulative guy.

ROSE: Watching him last night in that speech, he finishes --

MEACHAM: Yeah.

ROSE: -- and he sort of -- it's almost like he then ascends to look at the circumstance.

MEACHAM: He watches us watching him.

THOMAS: Watching him!

ROSE: Exactly!

THOMAS: He does --

MEACHAM: It's amazing.

ROSE: It is amazing.

THOMAS: He writes about this metaphor being a screen upon which Americans will project. He said they want of Barack Obama; I'm not sure I am Barack Obama.

ROSE: Mmm!

THOMAS: He had -- he has the self-awareness to know that this creature he's designed isn't necessarily a real person, and he's self-aware enough --

ROSE: Ahhhhhh!

********************************************************************

Again, I find myself agreeing with Limbaugh.  These people are afraid of this guy.  If you had been reading our blogs instead of shoving your heads up Obama's ass you would have been feeling that fear as long as we have.

Fuck you assholes!!!  This is what happens when journalism transforms into worship.  The people of this country voted for a man that members of the media, who have been following him for two years, do not know, a man whom they now fear.  

That's just fucking great.  

A Dream Deferred...

I should be ecstatic shouldn’t I? Should I not be overjoyed that America has elected an African American to be President (he’s half white so really we haven’t done that)? Isn’t this some kind of hurdle that our nation has now passed?  I have heard one African American commentator say that the issue cannot really be addressed by electing a man who was not descended from slaves.  I suppose the debate will rage on.  The media says it’s true. The pundits and the Obama campaign made it clear that if he lost it would be because of racism, so since Obama won this must not be a racist country anymore…glory glory hallelujah!

Camp Pampers talked a lot about code words for race. Socialist is now a code word. Inexperienced is now a code word. Risky is now a code word. Here’s a code word for you: RACIST.

Racist is the Obama code word for anyone who dissents, anyone who questions, and anyone who does not accept the superiority of Obama. Perhaps that is why I do not celebrate the hurdle. Maybe it’s the fraud. I simply will not honor an election winner who violated federal law so completely, and then claims that the vision of our nation’s founders is alive and well (somehow I don’t think this is what the founders had in mind at all…sorry to burst your bubble Pampers). But more than that I believe it is because the Obama victory has caused a dream to be deferred.

Dr. King’s dream, as I have said many times, was not that a black man would be elected President of the United States. His dream was that one day we would all hold each other up, defend each other, support each other, regardless of our skin color, gender, religion, nation, sexual orientation, economic status, or creed; that we would judge each other by the content of our character, not the color of our skin. But Obama used the color of his skin to try and shame those that opposed him, and those that had not yet given him their support. This is the very antithesis of what King stood for, and might be why members his family never endorsed or supported him.

Is the dream achieved when the candidate used sexism and misogyny against his opponent in the primaries? Is the dream achieved when the candidate benefits from the disenfranchisement of 18 million people? Is the dream achieved when the candidate himself is a bigoted, homophobic, misogynist? I don’t care one wit about the color of his skin. I did what one of my great heroes suggested; I judged him by the content of his character.

One day Martin, one day we will get to the Promised Land, but this guy will not lead us there. At this moment it feels like your dream couldn’t be further out of reach. We are failing you Martin. We are failing you. I am so very sorry.

Last night, the fraud tried to steal your words. Through all the crimes he has committed against democracy, against the Constitution, against your cause, this offended me the most. And so I will let you correct the record. You spoke of the freedom of speech. You spoke of the freedom of assembly.  You spoke of freedom of the press.  You spoke of the freedom to protest.  I saw the president-elect's campaign attempt to suppress all of these freedoms.  But you also said, "...only when it is dark enough can you see the stars."  Perhaps the dream is closer than it seems.

We'll get there yet Martin...somehow we will get there.

I posted the above segment so we can see the man.  You can listen to Dr. King's final speech here:

http://www.americanrhetoric.com/mp3clips/politicalspeeches/mlkmountaintop34.mp3 

Listen to it, and renew the struggle.  Democracy has suffered a blow.  Freedom has suffered a blow.  But the dream lives on and will not die as long as we remember what that dream was really about, and remember what Dr. King saw when he went to the top of the mountain.

Tsuris It Is

When The Shrub was handed the election by the Supreme Court, with uncounted ballots in Florida, and the Democrat Party rolled over and played dead in the face of blatant disenfranchisement, I refused my allegiance to him.  Rather than be a complete fucking hypocrite like all the cheerleading asshats tonight, I will not give my allegiance to a man who broke federal election laws in the primaries and general election.  Sorry dude.  You're not my President.  I'd love to say that you are, but I can't.  If you couldn't do this without grossly violating democratic principles, and the law, then what the fuck was the point?  That's the legacy you want for your daughters?  That's just fucking sad.  No, really...that's fucking sad.

So you will remain Pampers.  Not President Pampers.  Just Pampers, the man living in the White House while those of us here amongst the masses continue to work for the purity of democratic process, the equal rights of all people, and the altering  of our  federal government so that it no longer chronically works against our interests.  

I would like to be able to say congratulations to you for being the first African American President...but after what you did I feel more like I did the night Barry Bonds didn't break Henry Aaron's record...doing it on steroids is not really doing it.

I would like to say that I will allow myself to be optimistic about this.  But after what I've seen you and your party do I cannot.  Time and again our elected officials find a way to shatter the social contract more effectively than those who came before.  I have no reason to believe that situation will change.  When in history has anything good been born out of such rampant corruption?  

So, like The Shrub, you are not my President.  You hypocrites that decided to condone this shit because it got your guy elected are no better than the Republicans who were okay with 2000 and 2004.  Sorry...you're no better, and you are a big part of the problem.  Not agents of hope.  Agents of shit.  High five!

Well, my dog's been a faithful, loyal, and dedicated President.  I look forward to another 4 years of canine leadership.

You bots can keep your messiah.

It's Guy Fawkes Day...a fine day to begin resisting...again.  We could have had a  Democratic President.  Instead we got another Shrub.  

Fucking great.

We Will Get By

Oh, if only the fatman were still alive to keep the boys in line.  Oh well...this one is for the PUMAs; all the clinging middle-aged, dried up sea hags, and all us bitter bastards.  We will survive!

A Look Back, A Look Forward, and Many Thanks

It's been a long road to election day for PUMAs.  Not all of us began the presidential race in the Clinton camp, but we ended up there and fought hard.  We fought corruption, intimidation, threats, violence, and unprecedented fraud.

My fight against the abomination of the Obamanation a year ago on FirstRead at MSNBC.  It was obvious that Chuck Todd, the worst political analyst in America (and that's saying a lot), was steering the debate to Pampers, and allowing his brownshirts to control the dialogue.  I was amazed at the low information, the culty fanaticism, and the willingness to turn a blind eye to obvious corruption of their messiah.  Stupid is as stupid does.

Oh...my valve! shifted from being a place where I rant and get my non sequitur on, to being almost entirely political (though I have done my best to inject humor as laughter remains the best medicine).  I stumbled upon Taylor Marsh's blog.  Yes she turned out to be a media whore like the rest of the Pampers News Networks, but her blog is responsible for my meeting many of the brilliant, dedicated people that have become my compatriots and family in this struggle.  A lot of us ended up at bitterpoliticz where sarcasm prevails and Pampers wails.  There are too many to name but I love you all.  I will thank camille for her putting bitter together, and gathering the refugees so that we could continue to commune and cling.

In April the campaign for the North Carolina primary began in earnest.  It took some work wading through the organization here to get things going, but we worked hard and shaved a 30 point Pampers lead down to nearly nothing (the 15 point spread on primary day we now know was largely due to fraud that the Democratic Party didn't give a shit about.  Thanks DNC and fuck you!).  Our office was also shot at in a drive-by while two of my friends were in it.  We never found out who was responsible, but we were not intimidated.  Our office opened the next day as usual, and remained open through the primary.

I met a lot of wonderful Clintonistas from North Carolina and beyond, most of whom I have retained as family.  Thank you for standing up, speaking out, going to DC for the RBC meeting, all the work you did, and continue to do.  Over the summer we harassed Coward Dean across the state, flyered cars, wrote letters to the editor, and spoke to anyone who would listen.  

Members of my online community and Clinton volunteers that I met on the trail came together to put together a celebration of Hillary's historic campaign, and the 160th anniversary of Seneca Falls.  The Asheville Hillary Meetup also organized an event at which I had the honor of addressing the assembly.  Thank you for all your efforts in honoring Senator Clinton, and the continuing struggle of fighting for women's/human rights.

Then came the Democratic National Convention in Denver (RenoAnnie, Seattlegal, Nevaaaaaada Trish...love ya!).  Generous benefactors funded my trip so that I could speak at The Rise, and document the events taking place.  My eyes were opened to the level of fascism, and corruption of the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party.  I hope I have been able to convey some of what I saw.  It was horrible.  It was a political Sodom, devoid of ethics and democracy, and made it obvious to me that the Democrat Party is a horribly poisoned tree without a shred of political legitimacy.  It will be a long road to bringing it back to anything resembling "democratic," if that is even possible now.

We watched Hillary ride the Unity Pony.  It left us sickened and saddened, but we all know that she did what she had to do to insure that she could continue to have a platform from which she could advocate for the agenda that we support as real progressive populists (not the fascism that Pampers' supporters call progressive). 

We watched the media brutalize Sarah Palin, probing her life to a level that made it clear just how much the press willingly chose not to vet Senator Pampers.  Through it all she has stood tall as a woman on the political stage.  Though we may not agree with all of her positions, we honor and respect her for facing the same brutal sexism and misogyny.  It was unacceptable when it happened to Hillary.  It is unacceptable when it happens to Governor Palin.  Her being a Republican makes no difference.  The way she has been treated is wrong, and is an indication that the Democrat Party doesn't have any genuine concern for women's rights.  If you are a woman and you think the Democrat Party cares about your equality you are a dupe.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with people from around the country, leaders of the JSND/PUMA movement whom I have the honor of calling my colleagues: Heidi Li Feldman, Darragh Murphy, Will Bower, Pagan, Riverdaughter, Piper, Princess, Cheri Tagg, Ms Placed Democrat, Texas Hill, LadyBoomer, Father, Diamond Tiger, and many others.  You are some of the bravest people I have ever met, or not met in the flesh.  I am proud of all the work we did together.  The groundwork for creating real change has begun.  Thank you all for your friendship, wisdom, support, and effort.  I have nothing but the utmost respect for all of you.  Our fight is just beginning.  I for one have no plans on going to sleep on Guy Fawkes Day.  We have much still to do.

The leadership of the DNC must be dismantled.  The fraud committed by Obama and his thugs must continue to be exposed.  We must work to find a way to reform the Democrat Party so we can call it Democratic again, and if that home truly is dead for us, build a new political party that represents our values.  We must begin to lay out a road to creating new political structures that will give us more power than just our votes.  We must assume the duty of oversight over Congress and the President.  We must assume the power to stop the federal government from working against our interests and our rights.  

This was the year we began opening America's eyes.  There can be no going back.  Stand and fight.  La Resistance Part Deux begins November 5th, 2008.  Be there or be square.

Come drive on this highway of fire.  Here's one for the bitter ones, clinging to their guns and religion whom Obama despises.  We live in the city of dreams.  

McCain May Catch a Case of Pennsylmania

First, I want to address those supposed internal poll numbers that have McCain ahead in PA, MI, NJ and closing in on CA. I have not been able to verify those numbers. They could be true, they might not be. I said back during the primaries that a Pampers nomination would put PA, MI, and NJ in play. Since we know that the pollsters have not been releasing accurate numbers, as their models are weighted heavily to Pampers, with interviewees being mostly Democrats, I think it is safe to say that this race is tied, and will be decided by the undecided voters, which have been breaking for McCain, and will continue to do so. Why? Because if you haven't made the commitment to Pampers by now you are nervous enough about his fraudulent fascist ass that you are going to hold your nose and vote for McCain; at least he is a known quantity. Internals cannot always be trusted either.

In NC internal numbers had Clinton within 5 points and shaving a point each day off Pampers lead; she lost by 15, but we know now that was due to double counted ballots, and other methods of fraud. Numbers can be given to motivate workers, volunteers, and voters. I think the best strategy is to not put faith in numbers and work your asses off in the next 36 hours to defeat Pampers. Keep making calls. Keep canvassing, get out the vote, and go vote yourselves. The Pampers fraud machine is in full force so we need every vote for McCain to count (we can deal with the "what should have been" with Hillary later). DO NOT ALLOW ANY POLL NUMBERS MAKE YOU FEEL THIS IS OVER.

And lay off the conscientious abstainers. They have made their decision based on their ethics. Respect it. If, in the privacy of the voting booth they have a change of heart, they will do that without being cajoled by us (my entire immediate family is voting for Pampers, guess how that feels?). Now, on to Pennsylvania.

I believe that John McCain is going to win the 21 electoral votes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on Tuesday. In 2004 Bush lost the state by 144,248 votes (see the above map of the 2004 result). The cities of Philadelphia, Allentown, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Erie went to Kerry, while the entire rest of the state voted for the Shrub. Pampers will no doubt take Philadelphia. But McCain doesn't need Philadelphia to win. He needs, and he's going to get, Allegheny County.

In 2004 Kerry won Allegheny, and outlying counties, by slim margins:

• Allegheny: 96,987
  
• Beaver: 2,230
• Washington: 552
• Fayette: 4,075

That's 103,844 votes. Leaving a margin of 40,044 votes in the 2004 totals.

There is one reason and one reason only that Kerry took these counties: Tereza Heinz-Kerry. Knowing this, Obama tried to trot her out in the run-up to the Pennsylvania primary. Her lack of enthusiasm for the candidate was pretty obvious. Obama has no such connection. In fact, the one thing he had going for him in the area, John Murtha, decided to pick the scab off the bitter/cling incident by calling his constituents racists, and then rednecks. Personally I think Murtha fell on a grenade, potentially ending his political career to prevent Obama from getting into the White House. Between that, Joe the Plumber, Bittergate, the Hillary/PUMA effect and Obama's ever shrinking tax break income threshold (it used to be $250,000...now his ads say $200,000....his VP says $150,000....Bill Richardson says $120,000....we know it's really around $42-50,000...middle class, get ready for the mugging) chances are McCain is going to win all four of those counties.

Another Kerry stronghold was Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. Margins were not that wide there either.

• Lackawanna County (Scranton is County Seat): 14,807
  
• Luzerne County: 4,620

I believe that it is the PUMA effect that will have the greatest impact in drawing Democrats away from Obama. Forget Biden's connection to Scranton. He hasn't had any there in decades. No one is seeing his appearance there as a homecoming. It's a hey I used to be from here vote for me kind of feeling. When Democrats for McCain and Harriet Christian are leading PUMAs on major canvassing safaris, reminding everyone what Obama and the DNC did to Hillary, the candidate they still love, what Obama said about them, etc. I see both counties in play big time. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication up there!

Joe the Plumber will also pull in votes in Allentown, and Erie. We hear time and time again that working class voters are "values voters," meaning that they vote with the candidate whom they feel represents their beliefs, even if they are voting against their economic interests. In 2008 the McCain/Palin ticket not only speaks to them more, especially with a woman who comes directly from the working class, but will better serve their economic interests by not taxing them into the poor house, or taxing their employers into laying them off (and with those ever lowering tax thresholds that is exactly what is going to happen).

The simple fact of the matter is that if McCain's internals didn't have him in striking distance he and Palin wouldn't be wasting their time. And if Camp Pampers didn't think the same thing he and Biden wouldn't be there either.

One final factor working for McCain: Pampers fatigue. Pennsylvania was the state that shocked the nation when polls came out saying they were sick and tired of hearing Pampers' voice and seeing his face everywhere. They felt that way during the primaries. I can only guess how they feel now. I would imagine there are a lot of people in PA doing what I do...turning down the volume on the TV, changing the channel, or throwing random objects. No one overkills like Pampers whose motto must be, "Too much of me is never enough." Pampers, I've got news for you; too little of you is too much of you. PA is also the state where Pampers told Ed Rendell, "We don't need the people, we just need the checks."

Don't be surprised if it's going to be Pennsylmania for McCain tomorrow. Sorry Pampers, you need the people, not just the checks.

Retained By The People: Making the Case for Participatory Democracy

If the 2008 election cycle has proven anything it is that representative democracy DOES NOT WORK.  This is the system that was created by the Founders and is laid out in the Constitution.  In a representative democracy the only real accessible way to have any effect on government is by voting.  The decisions as to what laws and regulations are passed, what government and judicial appointments are approved, even the decision to go to war is not in your hands.  It is in the hands of politicians; NOT YOURS.

Every four years we see the Rock the Voters coming out to tell us that "voting is power."  I hate to break this to you, but voting is not power.  Power is disenfranchising 18 million people by giving a party's nomination to a candidate who didn't earn it.  Power is taking delegates from one candidate and giving them to another.  Power is using sexism and misogyny to beat down candidates for public office without any repercussions.  Power is threatening delegates into participating in a rigged roll call vote.  Power is telling telecom companies that they are off the hook for helping the President violate the Constitution by tapping the phones of every citizen in the United States without a warrant.  Power is being able to bankrupt and crash the most powerful economy on the planet and making money while you do it.  That is power in America as we have allowed it to be exercised.

Yes, we can decide which political parties will control our nation's agenda with our votes, but beyond that our vote empowers us with nothing.  Did our votes stop the invasion of Iraq?  Did our votes stop Bush from tapping your phones without a warrant?  Did our votes stop the Congress from passing the economic rescue bill, granting Treasury Secretary Paulson the power to hand out $700 billion of your tax dollars to anyone he likes, for any reason?  Did our votes keep the Supreme Court from giving approval to the Secretary of State of Ohio to allow voter registration and voter fraud to be committed in her state?  No, no, no, and no.  Our vote gives us virtually no power over our government at all.  It gives us no veto power.  It gives us no oversight power.  It gives us virtually nothing.  But the Constitution does give us something.  It gives us a lot actually.  We just haven't been using the Founders' gifts well.  In fact, I would argue we have never used them at all.  What are these gifts?  The powers to shape and run this republic of ours.  It is the power to have direct democratic control over our elected officials.  Our birthright is that we have the indefeasible right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.  It is also that we are permitted to live in a republic where the government doesn't work against those rights.  The Constitution gives us the means.  We have failed to utilize them.  Where do we find these tools?  In the Bill of Rights.

Amendment IX:

 The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

The power to create citizen based political bodies with direct oversight of all our elected officials, and their appointees, is not granted by word in the Constitution.  But Amendment 9 makes it clear that the right to do so cannot be denied as it is a right "retained by the people."

The power to create such bodies has not been delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor is it prohibited by it to the states.  Therefore, according to Amendment 10 the states, or the people, have the right to do so.  States also have the right to amend the Constitution.

We have the unalienable human right to be governed by bodies that must adhere to our will.  The Constitution of the United States gives us the means.  If we do not exercise our god(dess) given, and constitutionally guaranteed rights to make our republic a participatory democracy then we have no one but ourselves to blame when the federal government, and political parties, continue to act against our desires and our interests, period.  

To whom can we credit with the real substantive changes that have taken place in America?  Who got women the right to vote?  The people.  Who demanded the passage of the Civil Rights Act?  The people.  Who was the conscience of the nation that helped end the Vietnam War?  The people.  If we had a participatory democracy, instead of a representative democracy, then perhaps we wouldn't have to march in the streets, engage in civil disobedience, and hunger strikes.  Perhaps then we wouldn't worry about the President sending the National Guard to college campuses and worry about citizens being gunned down while engaging in non-violent protests.  Perhaps then we wouldn't have to live in fear of financial interests driving our politicians to pass legislation that adversely effects our health, safety, security, and environment.  Perhaps then we could take the power out of the hands of corrupt politicians and lobbyists and put it where it belongs; in the hands of those whom all of these decisions directly effect: US.

That is hope, that is change.  Change is not electing some demagogue or corrupt politician who thinks that what's best for him is automatically what's best.  You know what is best for you.  I know what is best for me.  Asshats in Washington know what is best for them.  How often do those propositions coincide?  Take a look at the state of our economy for the answer to that question.  We already have a 500 year old working model for a participatory democracy in America: the Haudenesaunee Confederacy.  I will be looking at their system in depth as I believe it may make for an excellent guide for us as we begin to plan the shift to participatory democracy, so that our republic can continue to fulfill its mission; to be a place where the indefeasible, unalienable rights of human beings are steadfastly protected against anyone who would attempt to take them away.

We have an important job to do on Tuesday.  We must vote against a corrupt politician whose Chicago and international thugs are poised to rob us of our rights, our liberties, and our finances.  They have already spent the last two years robbing us of our right to free and fair elections.  So vote against Obama on Tuesday, but do not go back to sleep.  If you do then the next Obama will be free to rear his ugly head and challenge us again.  The Chris Dodds, Barney Franks, Nancy Pelosis, Harry Reids, and George Bushes of America will come again and again to work against our interests and our rights.  They can only do so if we let them.  They can only do so if we fail to exercise our rights.  If we as a society remain satisfied with voting in fraudulent elections as our means of exercising our power then this republic is not worth having.  The corruption will continue, and our rights and liberties will continue to be subsumed and eroded by our government.  If we want equal rights for ALL people, if we want government to stop working against our interests, if we want political parties to stop corrupting the electoral system, it is up to us to stand up and change it, not some fraudulent liar from Illinois who is only going to give us more of the same, only worse.

No more, America.  No more.  

The Problem That Has A Name

The first chapter of Betty Friedan's revolutionary book "The Feminine Mystique" is entitled, "The Problem that Has No Name."  To state it simply, Friedan presented what was essentially a syndrome among American women that found them giving up school, getting engaged at younger and younger ages, and being pigeonholed into the roll of housewife as a matter of course, leaving them in an often lonely and restless state of dissatisfaction.  When I was first exposed to this book back in college it was presented as the watershed event that precipitated the sexual revolution.  I think my prof, a man, was trying to ingratiate himself with the ladies 

in the room.  I would argue that the sexual revolution in America began much earlier, but that's the subject of another post.  In 2008 those of us who stand as conscientious rejectors of the Democrat Party nominee are facing a new problem that, until now, had no name.

Our problem is that we very much do not want Barry Pampers Soetoro Obama to win on Tuesday.  Since May 31, 2008, and even before, we knew that he was never going to get our vote.  We didn't know we were PUMAs until we came together, we just knew we were not for Pampers.  Now, in the face of the election there is a new sensation.  If (when) Pampers loses on Tuesday I know I will simultaneously thrilled and dejected.

More than anything I know that Pampers must lose.  The future of the Democratic Party, and the future of democracy in America depends on it.  That does not necessarily mean that I want John McCain in the White House; though I do not think that the McCain presidency poses a threat to democracy, or will do nearly as large an amount of damage to our economy.  I think that he is more prepared to lead the nation and work with the Congress, not to mention that I will lose a lot less sleep.  I find his embracing of Clinton's HOLC revival plan to be VERY encouraging.  I also believe that should the Democrats retain the majority in Congress, the first call McCain will make if he must appoint a new Justice to the Supreme Court will be to Senator Clinton.  But it does mean that certain things we need to attend to will not be dealt with, though the same is true, only more so, with an Obama presidency.  The President we need, the President that the nation would have elected, got hijacked and beaten down by the very party that she has been so steadfastly working for ever since.  I don't know how you do it Hillary, I really don't.

What is the word for how I will feel on Tuesday when Pampers loses and McCain wins?  I will be ecstatic and dismayed.  I will have Euphorocitis: a simultaneous feeling of ecstasy and perturbation.  Common treatments for Euphorocitis are canceling the subscription to your newspaper, turning off the news, and avoiding political magazines and journals.  

Other treatments include: 

• Clinton as Majority Leader
• Working to exercise our powers under the Constitution to make our democracy more participatory
• Working to remove Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Alexis Herman, Chris Dodd, Leah Daughtry, Don and Carol Fowler, and Alice Germond from the leadership of the Democratic Party
• Working to defeat Pampers' bid for reelection to the Senate
• Medically induced 4 year coma
• Chester Hopewell

What would we call the condition of being stuck with a Pampers presidency?

• Tsuris

Symptoms include:

• Loss of civil liberties
• Rampant fascism
• Numbing of the mind from thoughtspeak
• Escapist Nymphomania
• Emmigrationitis
• Hair loss
• High blood pressure
• Neuritis and neuralgia 
• Diarrhea
• Sexual disfunction
• Depression
• Ennui
• Weltschmerz
• Projectile vomitting
• Tooth decay

Treatment includes:

• Republican Congressional majority
• The Constitution
• Invasion by Canada
• Pampers Impeachment
• Avoiding the media
• Medically induced 4 year coma
• Chester Hopewell

Ain't This a Kick in the Head!

In my travels tonight I came across this.

This blog, ironically titled "real democracy" posted David Swanson's call to arms to swarm the White House should McCain win on Tuesday as his win will be illegitimate.  (I hope your bags are packed...it's looking more and more like you're going to need 'em)...y'all can google it if you like.  It is a head trip.

Hmmm…let’s see. Obama supporters fire bombed a McCain supporter’s house. Obama supporters carved KKK into a McCain supporter’s car, urinated on it, and burned an American flag on it. An Obama supporter in New York beat a female McCain supporter with a wooden pole on the street in broad daylight…

Reports of these types of attacks by Obama supporters are cropping up across the country.
ACORN is registering hundreds of thousands of illegal voters, many of whom are having their ballots thrown out. ACORN is operating in more than 20 states and complaints and fraud have been documented in virtually every single one. The Obama campaign with the help of the DNC rigged the roll call vote at the convention in Denver. I was there. I spoke to a number of delegates.  Many said they were threatened by Obama people, party leaders, etc. It has been well documented that Obama bused in out of state supporters to the caucuses who voted in them illegally, threatened Clinton supporters, tore up and stole Clinton sign up sheets, intimidated elderly voters…so just what the hell are you people talking about? Your fascist candidate’s nomination is as fraudulent as a three dollar bill so take your threats and park ‘em where the sun don’t shine.

If Obama wins in any state where ACORN is operating I hope he challenges; even if McCain wins the election. Sick fascists like you and your candidate are the reason why the Constitution is in tatters. Do us a favor…move to Russia and spend the rest of your life voting for Putin surrogates and leave democracy to those of us who love it.

You claim to be about real democracy and in search of hypocrites?  Take a look in the mirror.

The zombie delusional mind of a bot in the matrix.  

What the Deuce?!? Pampers' Lawyer Invasion of the Ballot Snatchers

It's not enough that Big Brother Barry got the fix on the nomination.  It's not enough that his partners in slime at ACORN flooded the registration rolls with fraudulent papers (after 30 years of working to bring down our economy with subprime loans).  It's not enough that the Ohio Secretary of State is working day and night to put the fix in for Pampers in her state, and that the Supreme Court violated the Constitution of the United States, and the Ohio State Constitution (unless the Ohio State Constitution grants the right to vote to people with illegal registrations), by allowing Secretary Brunner to knowingly conceal fraudulent voter registration information from Ohio's 88 counties.  Now when you go to the polls you will most likely be surrounded by Pampers' Lawyers.

In Florida alone there will 5000 of these maggots.  Florida state law makes it clear that these people are barred from interacting with voters.  Now knowing that the Obama campaign had tables with their volunteers in Indiana polling stations I think it's safe to say that these eyes and ears for the Obama campaign will most likely try and skirt the law any way they can.  

You dear friends have a mission.  When you vote on Tuesday, don't cast your ballot and run out.  Stick around.  Mill about.  Watch what's going on.  Bring a video camera, camera phone, digital camera, tape recorder, etc.  Document any irregularities you see.  If you see someone approaching a voter inside your precinct ask them who they are and why they are talking to a voter.  Ask them for I.D.  If they refuse, find a poll worker and call out the violator.  If the poll worker fails to take action contact your local McCain campaign office.  They will know doubt have lawyers on the ground as well.

In North Carolina there have been reports of "translators" going into the booths with Latino voters.  There are directions in Spanish on the ballots.  No translators are required.  So keep an eye out on that as well.

It is in your best interest to assume that no one at your precinct will help you so be prepared with phone numbers for your local McCain office, as well as your county and state board of elections.  

Only you can prevent forest fires...only you.
