You have Hillary and McCain trying to play politics as usual and addressing non-issues like those that actually cause a supposedly 'enlightened' people to vote for the likes of right wing shills like George W. Bush and John McCain. Unless McCain nominates an idiot like Mitt Romney, you will probably see him as the next President of the United States. Why? Because Hillary is not offering enough of an argument to actually make you believe that she--a polarizing figure already hated in most of the red states--could be a viable candidate for the Presidency in 2008. I have a friend in North Carolina who said to me, "If you don't think any Southerner capable of getting out of his/her deathbed to vote AGAINST Hillary wouldn't, then you're sadly mistaken. We didn't like Bill or his wife then, and we like her even less now!"
I don't know if it's the responses you've gotten from Kossacks or the buzz from the likes of Fox, CNN, and ABC, but for some reason, you've apparently decided to give Karl Rove a run for his money in the area of Mayberry's newest Machiavelli! Since seem so cock-sure of gambling with all our futures, why don't you take a more personal stake in this?
I don't care how many times someone's responded along these lines to the original inane post encouraging Democrats to vote for Multiple Mitt Romey, but I wanted to thorw in my two cents for whatever they're worth and appeal to reason here. I don't believe the majority took the post seriously enough, but just seeing as many rocket scientists as I did in the comments section respond with "Brilliant" or "What a great idea Kos," was enough to send a chill down my spine that anyone couldn't see Mitt's now desperate campaign morphing into a kind of political Trogan Horse virus right here on Kos!
Recently, someone posted a film clip of Mitt Romney's debate with Ted Kennedy, challenging hime for his Senate seat. Romney lost, of course, but decided to remain in the Bay State and pursue a less glamourous job, that of Govnernor of the Commonwealth. Romney painted himself as a pro-choice, pro gay rights moderate Repubublican, in the same veign as the former and very popular GOP governor, Bill 'Pink Floyd' Weld. After winning the office, Beacon Hill would be transformed into Romney's permanent campaign platform, from which he would go from moderate Chancellor Palpatine Romney, to far right Darth Romney!
I was at a local watering hole last night and wanted to play a song I often do by Green Day...the anti right wing, obviously anti Fox News ditty called 'American Idiot' which was one of the most powerful anti-media/thought control songs ever made in the post 911 age. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that or would check it out the next time they were near one of these machines.
I could hardly believe my eyes when I came upon this guy's webpage. Not only was is spewing the same right wing idiocy he used to do so freely at the White House Press Corp--before it was discovered he was running a pretty non-family values website and selling more than his opinions, that is.
Have you ever been bothered by elders so-and-so of the Mormon Church? You'll enjoy this short film. Pay particular attention to how not-gracious some of these church folk are to the young men turning the tables on them!
Please forgive me if this has been posted already, but it's important and I'll gladly remove it if it has. Our old friend Mitt Romney, who would be worse than George W. Bush ever was on equality for gay and lesbians, is really pulling out all the stops to buck even McCain and Giuliani to become President.
Recently, I'd purchased a copy of Lynne Cheney's new book "Our 50 States: A Family Adventure Accross the U.S." for a relative and reviewed it on Amazon. I didn't think I was harsh or anything and even liked the art work, but found the story itself a rather vapid tale and knowing who the author was, wasn't surprised. Well, it didn't take long for the right wingers to begin their swfitboating of me.
I had posted this a while back after my initial review of Lynne Cheney's book Our 50 States: A Family Adventure Across America and many of you added your thoughts to the many neo-cons who attacked me for it. Just thought you'd enjoy taking a return over there and see more of the bigotted drool that has been left, attacking the poor, libs, you name it!
I have, personally, for a long time been completely sick of James Carville. In fact, criticism of this shrill, pompous ninny was the one thing I could always agree with the Republicans about. His hackery reached its zenith while reducing political discourse to its absolute nadir with non-stop pundit gasbaggert with Crossfire, where he shared the podium with fellow blowhards, Tucker Carlson, Paul Begala and Robert :doushebag of Liberty" Novak!
Yesterday, the voters of Pennsylvania went to the voting booth and said clearly, loudly and unmistakably that they'd had enough of Rick Santorum and his condescending bigotry, self-righteousness and hypocrisy! Indeed, nationwide yesterday's election was a rejection of Bush, the neo-cons, the Christian right and one party rule in America! It's a victory all moderate, justice loving people can applaud, Democrat, Republican and independant alike! Now is the time to reject the politics of division, fear and hatred and take our nation forward in peace, unity and justice for all, just as our founding fathers had intended and not as Karl Rove perverted.

Pardon me if this has been posted somewhere here already, but I just thought folks would like to know about a little election season censorship of the latest Simpson's Halloween episode. The clip speaks eloquently for itself:
Strange how all these troops loving Republicans currently beating up on Kerry didn't seem bat an eyelash when Ann "I-Stand-up-to-Pee" Coulter said the following:
"Soldiers are just cowards with their backs against the wall. The lowest IQ men in our society, those incapable of normal careers enlist. Their choice in life; prison or the military. Some will have to die in the support of our cause."
Ann Coulter - Intervention Magazine, 11/06/03
FROM THE MOUTH OF THE REPUBLICAN RIGHT WING
Gay "Amazing Race" winner and superstar model Reichen Lehmkuhl's new book, "Here's What We'll Say: Growing Up, Coming Out, and the U.S. Air Force Academy" reveals a behind the scenes look at what life at one of America's prestigious military academies is like for a gay service member. Of course any expose' about the heavily evangelized Air Force Academy is sure to raise wingnut ire and their already on Amazon, having never read the book, preaching their religious claptrap and dismissing Lehmkuhl as an opportunistic, queer "pretty boy" just out to make a buck.
I guess there's a right wing Christian fundie approving the 'comments' area over there ont he ABC News website, under the story about Congressman Foley. Follow the link and scroll down.
The All Saints Church in Pasadena said today that it would fight the IRS's demand that in turn over documents regarding an anit-war sermon that may coast the church its tax exempt status. (Funny, the IRS doesn't seem interested in James Dobson's "Values Voters Summit" currently going on. NOTHING political about that, I suppose.)
