This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time.

This is the best picture from last night’s debate. McCain looks like he’s about to lose it.

McCain is starting to speak out against the vicious anti-Obama attacks. At a recent town hall event, McCain acknowledged the “energy” people have been showing at rallies, and how glad he is that people are excited. But, he says, “I respect Sen. Obama and his accomplishments.” People booed at the mention of his name. McCain, [...]

The attacks and rhetoric we’re seeing from the McCain-Palin camp now goes far beyond run of the mill gutter politics to something far more dangerous. Campaign events for McCain & Palin look more like KKK rallies with shouts to “kill him“. They’re tapping into seething racism to fire up the base.

This is why McCain must not be our next president. An erratic hothead like him would be even more dangerous than Bush.

If you still think McCain is an honorable man, see this quote from the Rolling Stone article: “Make Believe Maverick”:
“I admire President Nixon’s courage,” he wrote. “It is difficult for me to understand . . . why people are still criticizing his foreign policy — for example, the bombing in Cambodia.”

How is this not a hate crime?
DAYTON — A 10-year-old girl sprayed in the face with a chemical Friday, Sept. 26, while at a local Islamic mosque was not the victim of a hate crime, police Chief Richard Biehl said.
The girl was watching children whose parents and relatives had gathered at the Islamic Society of [...]

Although tonight’s debate hasn’t happened yet (and until just recently it wasn’t certain that it would take place), McCain’s campaign is already running an ad saying they won the debate.

Whenever I watch an interview with Sarah Palin I feel like I’m watching a slow motion train wreck. She actually makes Dan Quayle seem intelligent and articulate. When McCain picked her, I lost what little respect I still had for him. There has to be more qualified people he could have picked. Choosing Sarah Palin [...]

WTF? Shouldn’t the president be capable of doing more than one thing at once? I guess it might cut in to his nap time.

Al Rodgers whipped this up:

Worth more than 1,000 words, huh?

After the collapse of several investment banks in less than a week, John McCain said: “The fundamentals of our economy are strong,” echoing Herbert Hoover, who said on Oct. 25 1929 “The fundamental business of the country, that is the production and distribution of commodities, is on a sound and prosperous basis.”
The day before [...]

“President Palin”

The thought that she could possibly become president is truly frightening. Due to McCain’s age & general health, there’s a good chance he could die in office, leaving this incompetent, inexperienced, unprepared political hack as our president.

A lot of people were wondering what the building behind McCain during his speech last night was. Talking Points Memo solved the mystery - it’s Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, CA.
An even bigger mystery is why they chose that picture. I’m guessing it went something like this:

Speech Writer: Get me a picture of [...]

As you’ve probably heard, Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant. Although there are calls to stay away from the subject, this is a political issue due to Palin’s views. Sarah Palin is anti-choice and supports abstinence-only education, even though studies have shown that abstinence-only education has raised teen pregnancy rates.

Thanks to Wonkette for this image.

Sarah Palin? I’m sure McCain could have found a more experienced woman like Elizabeth Dole.
McCain’s choice is such obvious pandering to the 20 or so disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters who haven’t come to their senses. He found someone already tainted with scandal and with less experienced than Obama. As a creationist and anti-choice candidate, she’s [...]

Via Strategy ‘08: In January, McCain made it clear that voters who felt the economy was the most important issue shouldn’t vote for him.
“Even if the economy is the, quote, number one issue, the real issue will remain America’s security,” he said. “If it’s not the most important issue in the minds of many voters, [...]

I really love this video. You may recall the song from an iPod commercial.

Try to figure out which of these people is an elitist:

A mixed race man raised by a single mother, who put himself through school, and owns one home.

A wealthy politician who married a heiress and owns more homes than he can remember.

It’s amazing that Obama’s “elitist” labels stuck, when all of his opponents [...]
