Hey everybody, this is going to be a rather short diary, but I just saw something disturbing and I wanted to get it off my chest.
The last couple of weeks, Obama has made huge inroads with the voters. Unfortunately it took a complete financial melt-down to get the voters to see how better his ideas are.
Anyhow, I was feeling very good about our prospects with regards to the election.
But then I saw the scary stuff coming out of McNasty and Mini-Bush's campaign events and then I saw this video (via Andrew Sullivan).
If you have forgotten what we are up against, just take a look at it.

Ok I have a soft spot for Lincoln Chafee, the ousted Republican now turned Independent senator of RI who is now a prominent member of Republicans for Obama (along with Jim Leach and Susan Eisenhower).
I always thought had he changed his party ID before the election, he would have kept his job. He had an outstanding approval rating (on the election in which he lost, he had a 63% approval ratings).
For those of you who don't know him, he is a soft spoken, pro-choice, prius-driving environmentalist who opposed John Bolton's appointment when he was in the senate. Someone I don't agree with on everything (mainly on fiscal policy) but have enormous respect for.
Voting against him was an extremely hard decision for RI.

Since the McCain campaign has done such a marvelous job in vetting Ms Palin, Press has to do their job for them as we have witnessed in the past few days.
We already have evidence that she was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it, but as we all have learned, again in the past few days with no thanks to the McCain campaign, Sarah Palin's appetite for pork didn't start in Juneau. She had hired a federal lobbyist, with connections to Abramoff nonetheless, for Wasilla, AK population 5,469 (2000 census).

After reading Kos's post on how Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is choosing her "friend" over her party and her country by not supporting Taddeo, and another article on Inouye backing Stevens in his time of "trouble", not to mention the Shenanigans of Joe Lieberman, I started to think how much dead wood there is on the Democratic side.

According to Agence France-Presse on July 2:

Iran's parliament is set to debate a draft bill which could see the death penalty used for those deemed to promote corruption, prostitution and apostasy on the Internet, reports said on Wednesday.

The rationale?
To

"toughen punishment for harming mental security in society," the ISNA news agency said.

According to Iranian law, apostasy is already punishable by death, but the draft bill includes "establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy", which is a new addition to crimes punishable by death.

Per CNN:

McCain's strongest denunciation of Obama came when discussing the Democrat's health care plan, which would cost $50-65 billion per year but would not mandate insurance coverage for all adults, only children.

"My friends, we've seen this movie before," McCain said. "It was called 'HillaryCare' back in 1993, and we're not going to do it again. We're not going to have the government take over the health care system in America."

So much for the respect for Hillary Clinton...

Wonkette summedup Jonah Goldberg's column today in LATimes as a "paean to the God of shit" and that pretty much sums it up.
Here's how the column starts:

There's a weird irony at work when Sen. Barack Obama, the black presidential candidate who will allegedly scrub the stain of racism from the nation, vows to run afoul of the constitutional amendment that abolished slavery.

And I honestly can't claim that the column gets any better from there on.
Mr Goldberg claims that because Obama's plan for college loans comes with "strings attached", it constitutes "involuntary servitude".
Go figure!

This is dumb enough but it goes further.. much further..

From local Orlando TV Station (local 6) via Wonkette.com

Local 6 showed several vehicles covered in "Obama smokes crack" painted messages.
A passing motorist initially spotted the damage and called police.
"I'm driving by and every car I see has been hit with spray paint," witness Mike Lowe said. "There is so much damage to them. There are messages written on them and the vandals left their business card, which is crazy."
Special business cards left near the damaged vehicles contained negative messages about Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. However, there were positive words about Sen. Hillary Clinton, Local 6's Kimberly Houk reported.
Some of the vehicles also had opened gas tanks.
Officials estimated that the vandals caused more than $10,000 in damage.
Orlando police are investigating the incident and the business cards left at the scene.

Our favorite, loving and lovely AZ senator is at it again. Calling Barack Obama's presidency James Carter's second term, but this time he just didn't stop at that.
According to CNN:

The Arizona senator has long attempted to portray Barack Obama's policies as in the mold of Carter's, though the Republican has previously held back criticizing Carter so directly.

But in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun published Friday, McCain was decidedly more blunt than he has been in the past. McCain, who is a proponent of nuclear reprocessing, was asked why he thought Carter was against the process when he was president.

"Yes, because Carter was a lousy president," McCain quipped. "This is the same guy who kissed Brezhnev."

Ok, I have been thinking about this for a while and here's what's bothering me.
Almost all the major policy proposals to curb greenhouse gas emission, involves reduction in demand: increasing the MPG of the cars, the cap and trade systems and so on. They all focus on reduction of the demand, while ignoring to reduce the supply.
