Want to know why the McCain campaign is doomed?
Well, for other than choosing a vacuous and utterly clueless twit for VP, misrepresenting almost every single one of Obama's positions and keeping the folks at Factcheck.org on call 24/7, trying to pull a Willy Horton with that poor deranged volunteer in PA***, and after 7 years of being up Dubya's ass finally trying to crawl out to the daylight, that is.......
This morning's AP has a story about the big push by McCain and the aforementioned clueless twit in the final 10 days of the campaign. Now check out this quote:
Yet advisers insist victory still is within reach, even if some Republican insiders privately harbor doubts.
"We went through the worst financial crisis in our nation's history, potentially, and we are still in the game," said McCain campaign manager Rick Davis. "When you review the electoral map, if the only thing John McCain has to do is win his base to win the election, I like that."
HUH????? WENT????
Ricky, duuuuddddeeeee....... Put down the crack pipe and check yourself into rehab PRONTO, son. We didn't "went" (sic- I know)- we are still going and will continue to go for quite some time. Did you notice the numbers on Wall St and the Nikkei yesterday? Pretty severe plunges and nobody knows where the bottom might be. Unemployment is skyrocketing. The banks and financial institutions are still on very shaky ground. Most of our top economic brainiacs are saying the US and hell, the entire world, are descending into a recession that will probably end up being a depression.
WENT?
It is exactly this kind of clueless spineless gibberish that is losing you the election. Ricky, babes, you and the Manchurian Candidate have ZERO fucking clue. I dunno, maybe it's hanging out with Sarah-cakes, who unleashed a doozy yesterday.
For those of you who missed it, after 7 weeks, the "braintrust" of the campaign decided it was time to let Sarah-cakes try to spread her wings and fly and it was crash and burn, baby, burn! She did manage to speak rather eloquently about the need to increase special education funding (but also slipping in that favorite GOP cookie, "school choice") and I am not mocking that in the least. But then..... duh duh DUUUUUHHH..... she attempted to explain how they planned on funding these programs, cutting out those silly earmarks for stupid and wasteful projects like an earmark for fruit fly research in Paris.
Well, Gentle Readers, as pointed out by Keith Olberman and Rachel Meadows, among others, first, the research was done in North Carolina. Where Sarah-cakes got Paris, who knows? Maybe she thought of Paris Island, which is in South Carolina and who can tell one damn Carolina from the other, is actually part of Paris and how could she know it isn't, since unlike Russia, she can't see it from her window? I don't know.
But it gets better. You see, folks, the research being done with these fruit flies relates to the search for the protein that, when missing, might trigger autism.
So yeah, Sarah-cakes, let's do that, shall we? Let's cut funds for research to solve the very same problem you are attempting to solve. Given the brainless gibberish coming out of the campaign, it is totally on message and explains why so much of America isn't laughing with you and the Manchurian Candidate, but at you both.
Now, ***--- After the "attack" on the girl happened, one of the McCain's PA officials was quick to leap on the purported details, in essence pinning the blame on the Obama campaign, but then backing off when the story was shown to be a fraud. But then.... despite being directly quoted by 2 different news agencies, the official tried to back off and denied ever saying anything. I'm trying to find those sources.
And in a final desperate Hail Mary, Dubya, whose concern over the speed in which the Justice Dept. operates was evidenced in Attorney-Gate the previous election, has called on Justice to investigate Registrationgate in Ohio before the election.
Yup. I can't make this shit up, folks.
Enjoy your weekend.
