According to John Murtha today in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Who’s John Murtha, you may ask? Oh, he’s just the guy who’s been representing western Pennsylvania as a congressman for the PAST 17 TERMS! (h/t to hillbuzz)
Barack Obama won because he did not accidentally refer to himself as a socialist.
Has anyone noticed how OLD and UNSTEADY McCain looks these days?
Sarah Palin is as dumb as a rock. Which is just fine, since I’d do her.
Barack Obama won because um, um, well look, isn’t George Bush an idiot?
This debate was not a game-changer, because obviously Obama won, and he will win on November 4th. So for Barack Obama, it was simply one more hurdle for him to successfully bound (with those long, graceful legs — sigh.) Where was I? Oh yes, the debate was not a game changer, except it was for Barack because he is now 3 and 0 — a perfect winning record in the presidential debates.

“In a statement, Obama-Biden spokesman Bill Burton writes that, while Obama does not agree with the comparison of McCain’s campaign tothose of segregation advocate George Wallace, he does believe that Rep. John Lewis is justified in his condemnation of “the hateful rhetoric that John McCain himself personally rebuked just last night,” as well as Palin’s assertion that the candidate “pals around with terrorists.”" [source]
And a hypocrite too. Let’s not forget HOW and WHY obama got Alice Palmer’s name removed from the ballot in Chicago — he questioned the VALIDITY of her nominating signatures. In other words, he accused her of VOTER FRAUD. And he won*.
So obama was AGAINST voter FRAUD before he was FOR it??
Very conveeeeenient, no?
Oh, and a liar too. His website flatly denies that Obama ever worked for ACORN. Not true. Not even close.
Please continue to INSIST that NO MORE federal money goes to ACORN and any of its subsidiary organizations. The rampant voter fraud being carried out in states across the country by ACORN has got to end.
I am a member of Puma PAC, the Voice of the Voters in the Democratic Party (www.pumapac.org), and I urge you to do all that you can to STOP ACORN and its attempt to STEAL the presidential election for Barack Obama.
“An analysis of campaign finance records by The New York Times this week found nearly 3,000 donations to Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee, from more than a dozen people with apparently fictitious donor information. The contributions represent a tiny fraction of the record $450 million Mr. Obama has raised. But the questionable donations — some donors were listed simply with gibberish for their names — raise concerns about whether the Obama campaign is adequately vetting its unprecedented flood of donors.”
What’s significant here, aside from the obvious FRAUD! is that the NYT’s review was both cursory and brief — a few hours looking over a random sample of names — and they immediately identified $40,000 in blatantly obvious fraudulent donations. What the heck?
Secretary of State Brunner in Ohio has been found to be acting in violation of the law. And, better yet, the federal judge on the case is INSISTING that the state verify ALL of the new voter registrations. Very good.
Hillbuzz tells me that over 4,000 dead people are registered and ready to vote in Texas. Wow! I knew Texas was special, but that’s REALLY special!
Crazy, crazy days, Folks.
Oh, and the stock market opened 500 points lower this morning after the Day From Hell yesterday and the Night from Deepest Hell overnight in Asia and Europe.
I was searching the intertoobz for pictures of Rezko’s slum buildings — you know, the ones that he received ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS from Illinois’ and American taxpayers (the rolling rivers of cash guided into his back account with a little help from his friend Barack Obama) to rebuild — and NEVER DID??
Yeah, those ones. It’s funny — if I want to find pictures of slums in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, or Miami all I have to do is type: “urban decay” into The Google and, voila! All SORTS of discouraging images pop up. But go ahead and try to find images of “rezko buildings,” or “chicago south side,” all of the images have been SCRUBBED. Gone. Go back in the archives of No Quarter and look what happened to the images that used to be there. GONE.
Kind of reminds me of this story from this morning. Couldn’t happen here, right?
That little story out of Saint Louis two weeks ago was no canary in the coal mine, right? Truth Squads prosecuting political speech is nothing to worry about!
Has anyone ever been to the South Side of Chicago ??? I have – many times . The residents there have been surviving in sub-standard conditions for years . There are no jobs , crime is rampant , and the housing conditions are so poor it is a complimentary exaggeration to call them slums. The word ‘projects’ indicates a work in progress , but on the Chicago’s south side it takes on a different meaning – a stagnant , decaying slum . 11 of these deplorable buildings on the south side are owned by Obama’s friend Tony Rezco.
Obama funneled State money to Rezco to ” improve conditions in those buildings ‘ – never happened.
Obama also funneled $100,000 for a ‘ let them eat cake’ gazebo on the south side . The gazebo was never built even though I am sure that those families who are living in falling down buildings in crime infested neighborhoods were really hoping for a freaking gazeebo .
Sen. Obama handed his wife’s employer a 1 million dollar earmark . He requested 3 million to update a projector at the Sky Theater . Trinity Church and Rev. Pfleger benifited from the 100 million dollars Obama doled out for the Annenberg Challenge which was SUPPOSED to have been used to help the failing public school system . Some of the programs Obama turned down for grants were : The Chicago Algebra project , and The District 5 Math Initiative – both are worthy projects that the public school system desperatly needed to finance . Meanwhile , Obama’s buddies , and radical groups received millions .
When you go to vote this year , I would encourage you to check out the South Side of Chicago , Obama’s own Senate district . See what “Change” Obama has brought to his own district . Take a look at how his ‘leadership’ has ‘improved’ his own community , and then ask yourself , ” If Senator Obama doesn’t care about his own community, what will he do for me ?”
Good morning , Pumas Just had to get that off my chest .

I love the line “he launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.”
When you say it that way, it does sound truly horrible and like something that should disqualify a person from being POTUS.
Of course, once again, “this is not the Bill ayers I knew.” And people will buy that?
I was in college in the 60’s and aerly 70’s and I marched for Civil Rights and against the War, but I never thought that being violent myself was the right thing to too.

Obama funneled state money to family
The Associated Press has probed Barack Obama’s earmarking activities in the Illinois state senate and discovered two grants that put state money in the hands of Michelle Obama’s cousin. Capers Funnye received $75,000 from Obama for his organization, Blue Gargoyle, for adult literacy and youth group activities. Read HERE.

“Borrowing rates remained very high on Monday despite the passage of the Americanbailout plan, although proponents of that package argue that its longer-term benefits will take time to carry out. Still, some gauges of anxiety in the market again reached record highs as the week began, and a benchmark overnight borrowing rate, the Libor rate, moved higher. A measure of volatility, the VIX index, jumped to its highest intraday level ever.” [source: NYT]
Watch this clip about the Weather Underground. If you remember those days, let us know your thoughts — have they changed over time? Does it matter to YOU that Obama has used his connections to Ayers and other radicals to further his career? (thanks to NoQuarter for the video.)

Who would have thought it possible? Aw shucks, but I thought the marvelous markos was the bringer of all that is good and true. Crickets in Boiz World about Hannity’s investigation of Obama’s radical ties. Surprise!
The Boiz only want facts that advance their agenda, their version of reality. Hmm, sound familiar?
