    Seattle Jew: Is McCain the Manchurian Candidate?

    Apparently McCain is desperate enough to ask his former jailers for financial help. Maybe he does not know there is a new sheriff in Moscow?

    My favorite quote from an article on CNNPolitics today :

    “Dan Quayle loyalists had a list of gripes remarkably similar to those now being aired by Palin aides.”

    Probably the best pro-Gregoire ad I’ve seen which is not a good thing.

    But then I live off the net, watch very little TV and can filter everthing I consume.

    Deep thought:

    John McCain is a genius for coming out foursquare against tax cuts for the middle class. Damn commies!

    What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

    What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

    What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

    What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

    What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?

    What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?

    What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

    What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

    What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
    (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

    What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

    What if Obama couldn’t read from a teleprompter?

    What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes? And was never given a command position.

    What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

    What if Michelle Obama’s family had made their money from beer distribution?

    What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

    Educational Background:

    John McCain:
    Columbia University – B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations.
    Harvard – Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

    Sarah Palin:
    University of Delaware – B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
    Syracuse University College of Law – Juris Doctor (J.D.)

    vs.

    Barack Obama:
    United States Naval Academy – Class rank: 894 of 899

    Joseph Biden:
    Hawaii Pacific University – 1 semester
    North Idaho College – 2 semesters – general study University of Idaho – 2 semesters – journalism Matanuska-Susitna College – 1 semester University of Idaho – 3 semesters – B.A. in Journalism
    Just got his passport 3 months ago

    You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?

    Originally the bailout plan was to buy up the debt paper which was dragging down the banks and investment firms, with the public then owning an interest, though indirectly, in the real estate secured by the mortgages included within those bundled securities.

    Then the idea was that the bailout plan was to provide for “looser credit” so that banks wouldn’t fail, and small business could meet their payroll.

    But now, only a couple of weeks after the bailout plan was adopted, the Treasury Dept. is giving the bailout money to banks and other financial institutions for the purpose of – buying other banks and financial institutions.

    Banks to use bailout for lending, acquisitions

    Sure, they are putting lipstick on this pig by claiming that it is consolidation of the weaker banks by the stronger ones, thereby preventing more failures. But there are no rules in place here. The Treasury Dept. is using it’s sole discretion to determine who gets to buy, and who gets bought. Fortunes are being made an lost at the whim of the current administration.

    Reminds me a lot of the circumstances under which former state-owned Soviet businesses were turned over to an oligarchy of politically-connected “businessmen”, who became billionaires overnight without any labor or capital invested other than their political connections.

    It’s the last gasp of the Bush administration’s looting of the federal treasury, and the American taxpayer for the next two generations, for the benefit of their cronys.

    Wow, been away for a little while.

    Anyone listen to the Obama redistribution wealth audio from 2001? Then he told it like he thought. Now he hides it.

    The Daily Kossacks are a hoot today………

    It’s okay to hang Palin in effigy while if they did that to “someone” else y’all be crying fowl of course.

    So I guess that Joe Biden Orlando News Station interview was true after all now we heard what he said in 2001.
