No complaints about Obama and Biden refusing questions.

Why is it always a ‘cone’ of silence and not a cylinder?

Apparently you missed the “Get Smart” series…back when comedy series on TV were actually funny.

I didn’t know there was precedent for it. I did not watch Get Smart regularly for some reason, although I remember my friends talking about it often.
Thanks.

In fact, DailyKos ran a story a few days ago where they looked at all the major newspapers’ endorsements of Obama. Each and every one factored in on the Palin pick as key evidence that McCain is unfit to be President.

Do you think that Palin has anything to do with those endorsements or the criticizing thereof? Palin is criticized because she isn’t a leftist whacko.

Secondly, I find it very curious that any conservative would bother with the Krazy Kos Kiddies and their leftist lunacy.

It will take the WILL OF CONSERVATIVES to make us victorious.

If there is a prize for disingenuousness, I think this has got to be the odds-on favorite for this election season:

For all the complaints that the media swoon over Obama — he has garnered editorial endorsements in recent days from The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times — journalists are ultimately driven by electoral math.
That was Howard Kurtz – apparently driven by the need to hide the utter worthlessness of his “profession”, while at the same time illustrating it perfectly. I think I need an airsickness bag.

What does this mean?

The only way Palin can alter the perception that she’s unqualified would be for Russia to invade Alaska, only to be defeated and expelled by the Governor herself at riflepoint.

What would Putin charge to help us stage this show?

Never apologize for a great post. McCain was running a superb campaign until he selected Palin, however he’s done nothing since but leave the heavy lifting to her.

If he knows the role of the Democrats and Fannie Mae in the financial collapse, he’s not able to articulate it.

From 2004 through 2006 Joe Biden appeared on the Sunday morning talk shows and repeated, almost mantra like, “Iraq is too important. We’ve got to get this right”.

When America does get it right with the Surge, Biden does an about face and becomes the running mate of the fool who thinks Iraq can be conceded to Al Qaeda and Iran without disastrous consequences.

It is beyond belief that tne McCain campaign is not using Biden’s own words to discredit him.

Dave? You there, Dave?

When Huck did that, I dropped all good will for him for the rest of the primary. He is articulate, but that mistake he made will cost him.

If Sarah is in the primary as a Republican in 2012, Huckabee better not be screwing with her chances and splitting the social conservative vote. He will never be POTUS because he lacks any weight in other policy/philosophical areas (i.e. – energy independence)to appeal enough to all Republicans. Sarah, at least now, appeals to all except the very small number of eastern elitists who are neglibible as a voting block. Besides, she’ll win them back anyway as she gets more national experience.

Uh, Rush DID spew the racist bit about the bone in the nose.
YES, DEFINITELY RASH FOR THE WIN!

it’s called context. It’s why you didn’t bring the facts in the 1st place.

CONGRATULATIONS I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT – Dave Rywall on October 20, 2008 at 12:05 PM

Does this mean Limbaugh is a racist? Does his expression of regret count for anything or for nothing? Does it negate anything or everything he has been saying over the 30-odd years since he first uttered the comment as a young shock-jock named Jeff Christie?

Rash for the win.

Doesn’t matter. McCain’s botching of her roll-out back in August and their overhandling of her has ruined her reputation irreparably. In fact, DailyKos ran a story a few days ago where they looked at all the major newspapers’ endorsements of Obama. Each and every one factored in on the Palin pick as key evidence that McCain is unfit to be President. What was scary was that even some generally GOP-leaning papers (Chicago Tribune, Salt Lake Tribune, Houston Chronicle) endorsed Obama this year. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/17/conservative-talk-radio-h_n_135684.html

The whole thing is just disgusting. I’m just sick over this election. I just can’t freaking believe our party nominated the worst possible candidate it could have nominated this year. I blame Huckabee, who had no chance of winning but served to “spoil” Romney’s chances. Romney would have been much better organized and more disciplined than McCain and probably would be neck & neck with Obama right now. [And I say this being someone who supported Rudy over Romney].

But rather than acknowledge that fact, instead, Palin — arguably a major future leader of our party — gets thrown under the bus.

Sorry. Just felt like ranting this morning.

Outlander on October 20, 2008 at 9:57 AM

Man are you messed up. You are doing EXACTLY what KOS wants you to do:

1) Give up.
2) Fight amongst yourselves and point fingers.

Get a hold of yourself and focus and fight the real enemy: Obamasiah. In the middle of a brawl, you DON’T question. You whack your opponent to death and then move to the next one and take him out.

We can be Monday morning political analysts AFTER the election. FOCUS with grace.

ManlyRash on October 20, 2008 at 12:02 PM

Wow Rash. You answered back with actual facts refuting drywall. And you supported it with a sourced quote. Now that’s just being mean.

Rash for the win.

Standard protocol in blog commentary is to furnish an internet link. But that’s okay. I already researched it. The source is an October 8, 1990 article in Newsday that references his brief stint as an insult-DJ (ie, “shock jock”) very early in his broadcast career – long before he made his bones as a conservative commentator. Here is the relevant passage from the article:

For all his bravado, however, Limbaugh is immensely sensitive to charges of insensitivity. When asked about the racist they-all-look-alike connotation of a statement like “Have you ever noticed how all newspaper composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?” this professional talker from a family of lawyers pleads total innocence.

Comparing himself to a comedian who frequently breaks into serious political commentary, Rush Limbaugh, in character and out, is a far cry from Andrew Dice Clay, for example. So far, criticisms from the left have probably enhanced his profile more than damaged it. In fact, it’s the far right that concerns Rush Limbaugh, entertainer, the most, because “they can harm the show. I don’t want to have to be tied to them. They frighten me, too.”
