Listen to Palin speak about the First Amendment — what a fucking idiot! It is apparent she has no idea what the First Amendment is even about — she doesn’t know it guarantees freedom of speech AND the press. Palin doesn’t understand that the First Amendment is the reason that the Press can and should criticize her. The First Amendment is one of America’s great protections in, and Palin does not even know what it says. Well, here you go Sister Sarah — have somebody read it and explain it to you:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This First Amendment is the reason she can believe in a 6000 year old earth — that she can have a witch doctor lay hands on her in a church — that she can believe in Jesus mythology — without being sent to an insane asylum.
This stupid woman who is clearly not ready to be Vice President — she is not ready to teach high school civics — needs to go back to school and get some education. She is a disgrace to all Ameica and she makes McCain look like a senile old man.
America needs massive election reform. Republicans are making considerable efforts to prevent people from voting. This include limiting voting locations, limiting voting stations, making it difficult to register, purging registration rolls, using the worse voting equipment in democratic counties, hacking voting machines, and even changing votes. For example, the voting lines in Georgia and Florida are 6 and even 12 hours long.
If you read this blog and think that America could never be doomed, just consider that without fair elections America is just another coup. It has been this way for the last two elections. George W Bush NEVER won an election. He stole it in Florida with the help Supreme Court in 2000 and stole it again with fraud in Ohio in 2004. Both of these cases are well documented.
The republicans know that if ALL the people voted the republican party would not exist. This is why their strategy has been to prevent people from voting.
Only a landslide will allow Obama to win because close races are STOLEN by republicans. The country knows that republicans are all about INFLUENCE and UNFAIR advantages. Lawyers know that the Supreme Court stole the 2000 election when they prevented all the votes from being counted. Think about this — the US Supreme Court was complicit in a coup. These crooks will do anything to keep power, anything — the republicans will even do the unthinkable before next Tuesday.
America is doomed.
Randi Rhodes provided an excellent visual aid for voters:
For those of you who require visual aids, try this. When you vote picture Ken Lay, Tom Delay, Bob Ney, Jack Abramoff, Don Young, Ted Stevens, Larry Craig, Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Jeff Skilling, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzalez, Randy “Duke” Cunningham, Brent Wilkes, Kyle “Dusty” Foggo and “Scooter” Libby, The Viceroy L. Paul Bremer, and remember that John McCain is a member of PNAC along with Bill Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, and the rest of the NeoCons. Now focus on George Bush kissing John McCain, hugging John McCain, endorsing John McCain. See the Lobbyist Express – The whole bus load of lobbyists McCain and Palin travel with. Phil Gramm, Charlie Black, Randy Shunneman, and Rick Schmidt, just to name the ones we KNOW. Finally pull up Abu Gharib, Signing Statements, Executive Orders, Blackwater, CACI, TITAN, Triple Canopy, DynCorp and millions and millions of dollars shaped into footballs being tossed around in “The Green Zone”. Finally pull up New Orleans drowning and GET MAD AS HELL AND VOTE AGAINST ALL OF IT.
As an excellent data point that America is doomed, a University of Texas poll shows that 23% of Texans think Obama is Muslim. This is intense stupidity — coming from one of the biggest states in America. The article says that this false conclusion is the result of “internet rumors and radio talk-show gossip”. It is very kind to call it “gossip” when it is really just LIES. Limbaugh, Hannity, Fox News, and others tell lies day after day after day. Keep telling LIES long enough and people will believe it. It worked for Hitler and that turned out so well.
This country relies on having an informed, rational electorate that values the truth. Reduce that and you have chaos. This is the reason that the McCain campaign is so disgusting. They enjoy perpetuating lies. Palin lies virtually every time she opens her mouth — she will look straight into the camera and LIE her ass off.
The “fair and balanced” media reports lies from the McCain campaign giving them credence and rarely point out how absurd they are. Once America loses a Press that reports and values the truth, destruction is not that far off.
America is doomed.
If you look at the estimate at pollster, they have Obama with 311 electoral votes which is 41 electoral votes above the magic 270. What is interesting about this poll, is that this estimate does not count many of the states for Obama where there is active republican suppression of the vote going on: Florida and North Carolina. Nor does the estimate count tossup states: Missouri, Indiana, Georgia. About the only state that is given to Obama that might be questionable is Ohio which has 20 electoral votes. Give up Ohio, and Obama still wins with a Pennsylvania (21 electoral votes) to spare. So, Obama could win even if he loses Ohio and Pennsylvania. McCain — stuff that in your depends and shove it up your lying ass.
Why is it possible for Obama to win without Ohio or Pennsylvania?
Yes, Virginia — Obama is President.
