Watch Out for the Right, Even If Obama Wins!

Expect the swirling swamp gas of hate to continue and build after the election. You don’t think Sarah and Mac and their hate machine will take defeat gracefully, do you?

“Out in the stucco deserts of Limbaughland, moreover, fear is already being distilled into a good ol' boy version of the "stab in the back" myth that rallied the ruined German petite bourgeoisie to the swastika.

“…In other times, Sarah Palin's imitation of Father Charles Coughlin -- the priest who preached an American Reich in the 1930s -- in drag might be hilarious camp, but with the American way of life in sudden freefall, the specter of star-spangled fascism doesn't seem quite so far-fetched.”

Can Obama See the Grand Canyon?
On Presidential Blindness and Economic Catastrophe

While the bankers are double dipping despite the worldwide turmoil they created, the fear felt by we ordinary unfortunates can and will be stirred to the boiling point. It is an opportunity for chaos that won’t be wasted.

Privilege for the McCains - at your expense, of course.

The McCains are more about oligarchy than any horse manure they throw out to the contrary. You will serve them, they won’t serve you. A recent example is the exclusive cell tower placement brought to one of the McCain mansions in a remote area of Sedona, Arizona, at the request of Cindy. AT&T and Verizon went out of their way to oblige. They love the McCains.

Verizon and AT&T Provided Cell Towers for McCain Ranch

These are the ties between McCain and Verizon/AT&T as quoted from the story:

“Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his campaign have close ties to Verizon and AT&T. Five campaign officials, including manager Rick Davis, have worked as lobbyists for Verizon. Former McCain staff member Robert Fisher is an in-house lobbyist for Verizon and is volunteering for the campaign. Fisher, Verizon chief executive Ivan G. Seidenberg and company lobbyists have raised more than $1.3 million for McCain's presidential effort, and Verizon employees are among the top 20 corporate donors over McCain's political career, giving his campaigns more than $155,000.

“McCain's Senate chief of staff Mark Buse, senior strategist Charles R. Black Jr. and several other campaign staff members have registered as AT&T lobbyists in the past. AT&T Executive Vice President Timothy McKone and AT&T lobbyists have raised more than $2.3 million for McCain. AT&T employees have donated more than $325,000 to the Republican's campaigns, putting the company in the No. 3 spot for career donations to McCain, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.”

Why waste your money by subscribing to AT&T or Verizon services. It’s like making a donation to the Republican Hate Machine. Why not choose a company like CREDO, who will put your money to work for worthy causes?

In a related story, “McCain seeks special 'fair use' copyright rules for VIPs ”. McCain doesn’t mind being nasty to others, but he can’t stand it when the tables are turned. He wants special permission to pull YouTube videos he doesn’t like. He’s the perfect spoiled brat.

You get a fair idea of what his presidency would be like, an empire even more insidious than the Bush debacle.

Father, bail me out!

The lipstick now belongs on the pig’s ass.

A year ago Treasury Secretary Paulson testified before Congress that “the economy is ‘marvelous, absolutely marvelous’”. Paulson is the former Goldman Sachs CEO who, in 2005, “earned” a $38 million bonus. He was one of the highest paid executives in America for ten years. Now he wants $700 billion to pass out to his Wall Street friends to get them back on their feet.

Since Bush became President, the top 400 individuals in the U.S. “earned” $670 billion. Staggering. As many are saying, even some key Republicans, Treasury Secretary Paulson’s bailout plan is just socialism for the rich. Do you hear the cheering? That’s Wall Street. Real economists hate it. Paulson’s original proposal was totally ridiculous.
Listen to David Herszenhorn of The New York Times tear it apart.

This “bailout” attempt goes hand-in-hand with the massive dishonesty and monstrous incompetence of the Bush Administration. Imagine the nerve, for the administration to say a month ago the fundamentals of the economy were strong. The code-speak there? Our rich friends are doing well. Now the fox wants a golden key to the hen house.

The Bush cabal have absolutely no regard for the middle class. We don’t exist. It is survival of the fittest for us. In 2007 Wall Street’s top firms paid out $39 billion in performance bonsus. Take a breath and read that again. $39,000,000,000.00. Right now, the top 1% of Americans earn more than all the bottom 50% combined. Yet universal health care is socialism, helping poor people heat their homes this winter is socialism, helping them send their kids to college, socialism. Bail out that wealthiest 1%? Absolutely necessary, with no judicial or legislative review. A total blank check. “Trust us”. . . . on a pig’s ass we will.

And don’t expect real help from John McCain. Phil Gramm/John McCain hold the prize for being the most rabid, super deregulators in Congress. The government’s last big bank bailout involved McCain, his poor judgement and joyous connivance with the banks - the Keating Five scandal.
Listen to a short, interesting refresher course on the S&L bailout.

As James Joyce proposed, life is an intensely serious low comedy. How could he know the “free market” buffoons would play it so perfectly?

Time is short to reassure the world about our capability. It can be measured in days. The next act in this low comedy could be ugly.

The Attack Machine is up and running

Found at the Daily Kos:



Why trust someone who smirks and prevaricates? McCain is running a dirty campaign. Period.

McCain Needs Ritalin, Not Viagra

What a silly man.

Just another example of how confused his campaign is.

Send McCain your thoughts about his views above.

Remember When Politicians Tried the Truth?

President Carter is clearly vindicated. America had a choice. They chose good ol' "Morning-in-America" Reagan. (Maybe giving Americans the hard facts was too much for voters to handle.)

What a song and dance it's been since 1980. We've experienced the largest transfer of wealth ever from the middle class to the rich. So much for the so-called "free market" ideas and trickle-down economics of Ronnie Reagan and economic advisor Marty Feldstein ! They served only to make a small percentage of Americans (about 2%) very wealthy. Their promised middle class dream was floated on a seductive bubble of credit schemes and pipe dreams whose basis in fact was just a remake of the Ponzi schemes of old.

How many bubbles have we lived through since 1980? The junk bond debacle? Savings and loan collapse? The year 2001 internet/market collapse? Enron? Today's mortgage meltdown? Now the banks are stretched, fearing a rush on liquidity. Oh, how's our national debt situation?

Phil "Americans-are-whiners" Gramm (recent ex economic guru to "Bomb-bomb-Iran-let-them-die-of-cancer" McCain) lobbied hard in the early nineties to have investment banks excluded from ANY oversight. He got his wish. Now nobody knows how much bad paper we've sold to the rest of the world. It's causing global panic. Heck of a job, Phil!

Timin', a tick-a-tick-a-tick-a timin'…

Can you spell k-a-r-m-a? Nearly thirty years worth of blowing bubbles and pipe dreams and "they'll-greet-us-in the-streets-with-flowers" nonsense is coming back with compound interest. Instead of letting the perps get away with their usual M.O. - drifting away from their messes with golden parachutes while using our tax dollars to clean up - why not ask them to give us our money back for this grand 30-year fraud?

Think about how you might phrase that! :>)
