#1 Loving it! Guess the GOP didn’t reckon on “Hate Fatigue”
I wonder how many military ballots will be thrown out by liberal voting districts this year? It will probably be more than the usual 25% they throw out. Democrats cheat.
Doesn’t BROADVIEW need a STRIP CLUB???(with a name like that, Ya think?)
How ’bout Medina! Clyde Hill!
I’ll call Frank, Jr. and we’ll get right ON that!!!!!
Hooo Boy…THIS is gonna be FUN!!!!
Look out BroadMOOR and Mad. Park! Don’t wanna forget YOU!
DownTOWN Redmond is a LITTLE DULL, doncha know.
York, York…we’re cummin’ after ya!
Considering that military is pissed off at the Whitehouse for leaving them out in the cold, the red districts are the one to watch for that. But then, Reds have long been the ones losing people’s votes.
That worthless cum-drunk cunt Laura Bush joined LimpDick Limbaugh today in making fun of Michael J Fox. Man these people have no shame – no morals – no value.
I hope with all my heart that the Bush Twins come down with the same illeness and then shake themselves to death in front of Laura so she can remember the bad Karma she bought by attacking a guy who’s only crime is he wants to find a cure for his illness.
What shameless, worthless crap these right wing cowards have for brains. God I hate them all.
It all makes sense now. Thank you senator kerry.
JFK says military people are stoopid.
Roger Rabbit was in the military.
Therefore Roger Rabbit is stoopid.
And that’s why RR is a librul.
Thank you senator kerry. Thank you roger rabbit.

Anyone else tired of the tit for tat? If your not your dumber than a rock. Bush wants an apology from one of 300 million people in this country for saying a stupid ass comment – all for political gain. Has he forgot about Mark Foley (as his daddy would say “not going to go there”)and his escapades, doesn’t Bush owe us an apology for how his government is being run, where does the buck stop…..That’s why this country is so great, every fucking moron can say something, and thats exactly what we got – 300 fucking million morons. You did this, he did that – Fucking Grow up and own up to your own responsibilities for once. Hail Hitler.
Hey this interactive thing is pretty fun. You can mess around with your own predictions as to how the Senate, the House and the Governorships will end up. Check it out.

John FUcking Kerry – Poster child for what pisses people off about current day socialist democrats.
He just can’t quite conceal his contempt for ordinary people can he? No wonder he’s so popular here… an arrogant elitist asshole jerk of the first order.
All you guys supported him last time. Now what do you think of your boy?
Hey Rabbit – Are you going to demand an apology from Kerry? Or are you a dumfuck like he says?
I’d really like to know…
Roger my spelling might be poor but your comprehension is even as bad or worst. Now read what the Al Qaida supporter really said and he was also supporting the NVA during the Viet Nam Era. They hanged pictures of him in their command post in North Viet Nam and I’m not surprised that Osama bin Laudin has one signed and hanging in his cave. Yep he is still anger over the Swift-Boat crew torpedoing this election chances last time around. Just Like you Thumper still angry after the War end many years ago.

Military Intelligence
By Christopher Beam
Posted Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2006, at 6:10 PM ET
Bloggers get heated over Sen. John Kerry’s remarks about the military. They also theorize about a recent madrasah bombing in Pakistan and laugh at Fox’s premature announcement of Studio 60’s demise.
Military intelligence: During a speech endorsing California gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides at Pasadena City College yesterday, Sen. John Kerry encouraged students to work hard in school lest they “get stuck in Iraq.” White House press secretary Tony Snow called Kerry’s remarks “an absolute insult,” and Sen. John McCain said the former presidential candidate “owes an apology” to U.S. troops. Conservative bloggers go to town.
Neddy at the conservative Kerfuffles translates Kerry’s comments thusly: “Because you were lazy and dumb in school, you are now in Iraq. Oh, by the way, ‘thank you for your service’ and ‘we support the troops.’ Vote for us at the polls so we can bring you home.”
Mark, you fucking Redneck, go park your trailer somewhere else!
It’s more fun to argue when you ignore actual content. It is clear if you read his entire remarks Kerry was talking about Bush being stuck in Iraq, not the uniformed troops. Granted not spoken most articulately, but the intent was clear.
But you silly fools have much more fun with comments out of context.
You know the difference between Jany Fonda and George Bush?
Fonda wasn’t afraid to go to Viet Nam!
Roger what you are saying is that a Socialist Democrat is above the law and allowed to violate any law as long as it justifies the means. Rep. Jimmy McDermott can do whatever he wants but it’s not OK for a Republican or Libertarian party member to commit the same sin. Yep right out of the Church of Liberalism play book and its ok for the Socialist Democrats to be a NIMBY. Now Roger who pays the price for these bad decisions? You bet the Taxpaying public and the Socialist Democrats continually run this State and Nation into the ground. Yahoo Roger and his friends can violate any law, get away it, and you John P public will pay their fines.

Appeals court hears McDermott taped-call dispute
By MATTHEW DALY, The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – A lawyer for Rep. Jim McDermott told a federal appeals court Tuesday that McDermott should not be punished for turning over an illegally taped telephone call to reporters a decade ago.
Lawyers for 18 news organizations — including ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, The Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post — have filed a brief backing McDermott, who gave reporters access to a recording of a 1996 call involving then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled against McDermott in March. The 2-1 opinion upheld a lower court ruling that McDermott had violated the rights of Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, who was heard on the 1996 call. Boehner was then a Gingrich lieutenant and is now House majority leader.
The full nine-member appeals court vacated the ruling this spring and heard new arguments in the case on Tuesday. A ruling is expected next year.
Boehner’s lawyer, Michael Carvin, told the court that McDermott’s actions were clearly illegal. He compared McDermott to a “fence” who received stolen goods and then sold them.
Hey klake – how is Bush doing on running this country into the ground? I think he has reached the center core of the earth. You cheating fuck.
Spin, spin, spin, John kerry give you moonbat idiots so many opportunities… The gift that keeps on giving.
You will all re-live your self-induced agony next week as you are proven again to just be a bunch of drunken irrelevant fools. Oops, I mean horses’ asses.

Comment by RightEqualsStupid— 10/31/06@ 7:09 pm
RightEqualsStupid you are not the sharpest knife in the draw tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did your mommies tell you that Jane Fonda betrayed her country during the Viet Nam War along with John Kerry? Yes sir reeeeee Bob she exposed the messages that POW’s gave her to take home, she gave them to the North Vietnamese, and they paid a dear price for that mistake. You lover boy John Kerry went to Pairs and collaborated with the North Vietnamese delegation on how they could work together to end the War in their favor. Mr. Stupid not everyone got the privilege to go to Viet Nam or any place else during that same time period. Some of the draftees and volunteers were not allowed to go serve their country in a War zone. LBJ bless his soul did not call up the National Guard or allow them to join their fellow countrymen in that conflict. Unlike today the National Guard supports the regular units on the battle field by as much as 48% and in some career fields 80% because of downsizing and restructuring of the military.
Poor, silly Klake, babbling again.
But you silly fools have much more fun with comments out of context.
Commentby K— 10/31/06@ 7:04 pm
Miss K I beg to differ with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m one of those troops you are trying to speak for and I totality disagree with you. John Kerry means what he said right down to the last word and plans not to retract any one part of it. Today the military education is above the National Average and unlike those who served during his tour of duty. We do not take anyone who walks through the door, the standards are much higher. That is one of the reasons why the draft was banned. Plus it was easier to lead people who wanted to make a difference in this world.
Bush wants an appology?
That’s rich!
I wan’t an appology!
I wan’t an appology from President Bush for leaving both my legs in a pile of burning Black Hawk wreckage just so Republicans could distract voters long enough to deregulate the energy industry, deregulate the telecom and media industry and push through huge tax cuts for their wealthy pals.
Klake, you can’t write, and obviously you cannot read either. Read the entire statement in context.
And it’s Mr. K to you!
MTR you’re as stupid as Bush if you don’t recognize that Kerry was talking about Bush, not the troops.
Damn but how can you keep showing us how utterly stupid, vapid, and moronic you are? Not to mention a bet welsher.
I want an apology!
I want an apology from Harold and Jenna Welsh for giving the car keys to their drunk daughter Laura 43 years ago so she could go out and blow through a stop sign and kill me!

John Kerry: U.S. Soldiers Not ‘Smart’
Bush: John Kerry’s Remarks ‘Insulting’
Sen. Kerry: ‘I Apologize to No One’
Sen. John Kerry has sparked outrage by suggesting that U.S. troops in Iraq are uneducated and not “smart.”
At a campaign event for California gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides at Pasadena City College on Monday, the Massachusetts Democrat and Vietnam veteran said: “You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
Kerry’s troop-bashing remarks belie the truth about the educational level of U.S. troops. According to figures readily available on the Internet, 99.9 percent of the enlisted forces have at least a high school education, 73.3 percent have some college, 16.2 percent have an associate’s degree or equivalent semester hours, and 4.7 have a bachelor’s degree.
What’s more, over 85 percent of field grade officers have advanced degrees – 70.7 percent have master’s degrees, 12.1 percent have professional degrees and 2.5 percent have doctorate degrees.
“Senator Kerry not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who’ve given their lives in this,” White House press secretary Tony Snow said regarding Kerry’s remarks.
“This is an absolute insult.”
McCain: Kerry Should Apologize
Bush: John Kerry’s Remarks ‘Insulting’
Sen. McCain: Kerry Should Apologize
Democratic U.S. Sen. John Kerry drew election-year fire from fellow Vietnam War veteran Sen. John McCain on Tuesday for saying college students could “get stuck in Iraq” if they do not study hard.
McCain, an Arizona Republican who has had an amicable relationship with Kerry, said Kerry “owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country’s call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education.
“Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
“They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night.
“Without them, we wouldn’t live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.”
Oil prices recently reached almost $80 a barrel. But those in-the-know knew it would not stay there — and, in fact, a major price correction was in the works.
Saudi Arabia’s oil minister Ali al-Naimi is warning that oil price hikes and global oil demand could soon disappear.
In fact, he is also warning that oil prices could easily “plummet” in the near future.
Ali al-Naimi said prices could plummet if an economic crisis drives industrialized nations to find other sources of energy, citing the 1980s – when oil prices dropped by 80 percent after such nations reduced their dependency on oil and turned to alternative energy sources.
”Global economic growth may not continue at the same good momentum for years to come,” al-Naimi said at the opening of a four-day conference of Arab energy ministers in Amman. ”We should be careful and not take expectations as indisputable, especially the continuation of big demand for oil and its prices remaining at the same level or increasing,” he said.
What Say You Roger? Now we all know you have all the answers.
As, I said, read the entire statement, not what Tony Snow had to say about it.
Clearly you cannot read. Cut and paste, yes. Read and understand, clearly no.
Enough of my time wasted on klake, the poor silly fool.

House Race Summary for Oct. 31
The math is easier given one important finding: Not a single Democratic candidate in a district now held by a Democrat is trailing, regardless of the combination of polls examined. So, we will focus below on potential Democratic pickups.
We count 10 seats currently held by a Republican where multiple surveys shows the Democrat with a statistically meaningful lead regardless of what combination of polls we look at: Arizona-08, Colorado-07, Indiana-02, Indiana-08, North Carolina-11, New Hampshire-02, New Mexico-01, Ohio-18, Pennsylvania-07, and Pennsylvania-10.
One seat gets its own category: The one and only poll in the Texas-22 district formerly represented by Rep. Tom Delay shows Democrat Nick Lampson leading. However, a complicated ballot (Republican Shelley Sekula-Gibbs is a write-in candidate) makes this result tenuous.
Seven more Republican seats look to be in statistically meaningful jeopardy, but only when you count the automated Majority Watch surveys (either because they are the only ones done or because they tip the balance, making the Democrat’s lead statistically meaningful): Indiana-09, Iowa-01, New York-24, New York-25, New York-26, New York-29, and Ohio-15.
Three more Democrats would show significant leads if we include the internal surveys released by partisan pollsters: Florida-13, Nebraska-03, and Ohio-01.
Thus, if you trust the Majority Watch surveys and assume a pickup in Texas-22, then Democrats are leading in exactly the 18 seats the need to win a majority. If you trust all polls, then they currently lead in enough districts to win 21 seats.
But even more important: Polls have been conducted in October in another 25 seats where the averages indicate a statistical tossup. Only two of these seats are currently represented by Democrats. How well the Democrats ultimately do depends on how many of these still-too-close-to-call races they ultimately win.

re 48: Because the Bush administration lied to them about WMD’s. And Congress NEVER did authorize a war. Bush was authorized to go after bin Laden and he was given 90 days to do it. The rest of it has been illegal dictatorial bullshit. You neo-cons are traitorous bastards and I’ll piss on your grave before this is all through.
These wimpy conservative liars are just too much. Forget about Bush’s grandpappy playing footsies with the real nazies during WWII, forget about the alchoholic Sen. Joe McCarthy smearing innocent people, forget about the coup in Iran in ’54, forget the hauty mendacity of John Foster Dulles, forget about the millions killed by US bombs in Viet Nam as Nixon unleashed his “secret plan” to end the war, forget about Kissinger selling out the democratically elected government in Chile, forget Watergate, forget about Reagan trading with Khommeni to get elected in ’80, forget Iran-Contra and Salvadorean right wing death squads, forget the bumbling ineptitude of the Bush administration prior to 9\11 and it’s incredibly tragic “war on terror” since that day.
Yes, yes, yes, forget all this because John Kerry stepped on his well trodden tongue.
Well, this is one voter who will never forget. It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for a repbulican, very cold indeed.
Klake – don’t be an idiot. The reason gas prices are down has nothing to do with the invisible hand or OPEC or what some fucking raghead oil minister has to say.
Don’t you remember last summer when the 99th most influential senator from the great Feminist Utopia of Warshington was threatening hearings about “gouging”. Big Oil saw what she was doing and said “holy shit, we better drop prices RIGHT FUCKING NOW”. And they did.
Problem solved. Right?
kkk@ 50, I don’t know. Could it have been bush the bitch, cheney the coward and pumsfield the rats lies that convincedhim and the rest of the US to attack the wrong country?

Remember this classic from the Correspondent’s dinner in 2004?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3570845.stm
One pictured Mr. Bush looking under a piece of furniture in the Oval Office, at which the president remarked: “Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere.”
After another one, showing him scouring the corner of a room, Mr. Bush said: “No, no weapons over there,” he said.
And as a third picture, this time showing him leaning over, appeared on the screen the president was heard to say: “Maybe under here?”
Now exactly who is supposed to apologize?
Just think, we have Hannity and Limbaugh spinning and lying as fast as they can, and we are still getting our asses licked (and stop fantasizing JCH) [hehe]. First we tried attacking Michael J. Fox, and that didn’t work. Now we are stuck with John Kerry, but that isn’t working. If only we could get pictures of Jimmy Carter having sex with a fourteen year old boy (I told you JCH). Maybe then we would have a chance.[he he]

But MSNBC was mostly up, with Hardball enjoying a 27 percent gain in the demo and Scarborough Country recording a 13 percent increase. Countdown with Keith Olbermann beat CNN’s Paula Zahn in the demo again, and came within 2,000 viewers of beating her in total viewers. Olbermann was up 61 percent in the demo versus last year.

“Roger what you are saying is that a Socialist Democrat is above the law and allowed to violate any law as long as it justifies the means. Rep. Jimmy McDermott can do whatever he wants …”
Nope, all I said was there’s no judgment against McDermott and there won’t be a ruling until next year, and meanwhile there’s no news to report on this case except arcane legal arguments.
Needless to say, it’s a waste of time to try explaining arcane legal arguments to a wingnut who can’t even spell “to.”
AMERICA NEEDS A $2.13 MINIMUM WAGE
That’s right, Roger Rabbit supports federal legislation authorizing a $2.13-an-hour minimum wage in certain circumstances. What’s more, I think this law should pre-empt state law, where it applies. The law shall provide as follows:
“Unpatriotic, America-hating, traitor organizations such as the BIAW are hereby authorized to employ people to post on popular political blogs; and may pay any such employee who can’t spell ‘to’ $2.13 an hour, notwithstanding any other federal or state law. This pay rate should not employ to anyone who does honest work for a living.”
And that’s being generous because you aren’t worth even $2.13 an hour, klake. In fact, you’re not worth jackshit.
erratum
“apply” not “employ”
35
I read Fortune (and other business publications) too, klake. I’m going to sell my oil stocks soon. A price crash is coming, some say to $20 – $30 bbl.
38
klake’s comment is part and parcel of the horseshit the right has spewed about Kerry. According to them, Kerry lost the war all by himself. Next they’re gonna say Kerry was a North Vietnamese general. They’ve already doctored photos and falsely claimed he had an affair with an intern. Bunch of fucking liars. We oughta swiftboat all of ’em — with a fifty.
I used to fire fifties. They’re cool. 750-grain slug goes right through a concrete wall.
I guess that whole idea of trying to convince people that they’re really better off than they think they are wasn’t working as a political strategy. But you really do have to admire Republicans who are now chasing after ambiguous remarks from a Junior Senator from Massachusetts who isn’t even up for election all the while keeping Iraq in the forefront of voter’s minds.
Of course, why would I expect any better? One of these guys still doesn’t understand the basic concept of a fraction (all the while welching on his bet), and the other actually believes that terrorists will take over Iraq if our troops should come back home.
These guys are so bright, that, if they were night lights, we’d all have broken toes.
I was feeling so upbeat & confident.
Then John Kerry takes the wind out of my sails.
I cannot believe it.
Talk about the ultimate soundbite for the Bushy’s!
John Kerry is a nincompoop.
Then he makes it even worse by making up some farfetched excuse for his silly comment.
Kerry makes it hard to be a Democrat.
If we don’t take control of Congress…the blame falls right on Kerry’s shoulders….and his Presidential aspirations are toast.
This is very depressing.

“WASHINGTON (Nov. 1) – Attorneys for Jose Padilla make some explosive new allegations in recent court filings, claiming the so-called ‘dirty bomber’ was tortured and given psychedelic drugs — such as PCP and LSD — while the U.S. military held him as an enemy combatant.”
This story is quoted under the Fair Use doctrine; for complete story and/or copyright info see http://articles.news.aol.com/n.....2309990001
Jose Padilla may not be Mother Teresa, but remember, he’s a U.S. citizen with constitutional rights who hasn’t been convicted of anything. That makes him innocent until proven guilty.
And these guys wonder why we call them “Nazis.” Because they behave like Nazis. Du-uh.

Kerry wasn’t referencing “our military guys” (nor our gals), he was referencing dubya, the. worst. president. ever.
My guess is the second, you don’t care about the truth. That would be consistent with the rest of the right wing soon-to-be-former power brokers that current hold sway (for six more days).
If you don’t like what John Kerry said, don’t vote for him.

1. Yeah, oil isn’t $80 a barrel anymore. It’s $60 a barrel. Fantastic, huh?
2. So if we have a global recession, demand for oil will drop. I’m looking forward to that!
Bush should apologize for 25,000 needless American casualties and 655,000 dead Iraqis — all to enrich himself and his cronies. We’re not going to go off message to respond to your BS.
Your use of a slip of the tongue to dun a real American hero is the crime here. What pigs you are!
Military Fatalities: By Month
Period October 2006
US 104
Third highest monthly death toll, but this time with no major operations. Baghdad is averaging a new low of 2.4 hours of electricity a day, and they blame Americans. Insurgents are carrying American-mde weapons. Families are still having bake sales to buy body armor for their loved ones.
But John Kerry doesn’t support the troops. Riiiight.
Remember the soldier kidnapped in Baghdad who was the reason we conducted house-to-house searches and set up checkpoints? Now, on the order of Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki, the US has ended the five day old military blockade of the Sadr City section of Baghdad. It sounds a lot like on Maliki’s say-so we’ve essentially called off the search.
So what’s happening? The essential fact is clear. In a showdown for control of Baghdad, the Iraqi prime minister took orders from Moqtada al-Sadr, and instructed the U.S. military to withdraw from Sadr City. The American forces were trying both to stabilize the city but also to find a missing American serviceman. He is still missing. The U.S. military does not have a tradition of abandoning its own soldiers to foreign militias, or of taking orders from foreign governments.
How does Bush rationalize abandoning him to the enemy? Who is really giving the orders to the U.S. military in Iraq?
And you wonder why we need change?
If someone makes a joke about your stupidity and you’re too stupid to recognize the joke is about you, you’ve just confirmed the basis of the joke.

MEMPHIS — Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr. issued a statement this morning calling on U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to apologize for comments that Republicans including President Bush contend disparage U.S. troops in Iraq.
“Whatever the intent, Senator Kerry was wrong to say what he said,” Rep. Ford said. “He needs to apologize to our troops.”
I am calling on the Bush Regime to make an apology for:
1) Telling us at least three different lies about why we went to war in Iraq.
2) For outing a CIA agent in an attempt to cover up their lie about the war in Iraq.
3) For getting 3000 of our young men and women killed in the quagmire of Iraq.
4) For spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have on the failed war in Iraq.
5) For destroying any good will we might have had in the international community while fighting a fake war in Iraq.
6) For giving hundreds of millions of tax dollars to Bush pals in no-big contracts to rebuild Iraq after we spend hundreds of millions of tax dollars to destroy it.
7) For destroying our Constitution under the guise that the Bush regime will somehow protect us while at the same time eliminating our civil and Constitutional rights.
8) For creating a law (The Patriot Act) that forces librarians to spy on normal Americans because of the books they read.
9) For creating one country (Iraq) that’s stuck in a civil war and another (USA) that’s on the verge of one.
Where’s the “I’m Sorry” that matters Mr. Decider?

Ford, Tester, Cardin Want Kerry Apology
A few Democratic candidates joined Republicans Wednesday in pressing John Kerry to apologize for a comment critics said appeared disrespectful of U.S. troops as several Kerry campaign appearances were canceled.
“Whatever the intent, Senator Kerry was wrong to say what he said,” said Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr., running for Senate in Tennessee.
“Sen. Kerry’s remarks were poorly worded and just plain stupid,” said Montana Senate President Jon Tester, a Democrat trying to unseat GOP Sen. Conrad Burns. “He owes our troops and their families an apology.”
“I’m sorry he did what he did. But I think the issue . . . we want to make sure it doesn’t confuse the subject of the war in Iraq,” Democratic Rep. Ben Cardin, running for Senate in Maryland, said on CNN.
“Marines … 3.7% with collige degrees or some college.
The UW …. 57%.”
Commentby Steve Schwartz [Mr. Schwartzstein, ALL military, and military Marine officers: 100% have “collige” degrees. Looks like John Kerry and Steve Schwartzbergloeb have a lot in commom. JCH [LT, USN, 77-84]]
Wait a gol’ Darn minute! Isn’t what Kerry said (and I copy and paste from above)
“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” ?
Why do we assume this is an insult to the military? He’s obviously talking about the electorate.
We didn’t do our homework. Twice. Now we’re stuck in Iraq.
Pick out the one that is different than the others: 1. Daddy Love 2. GBS 3. JDB 4. Americans who love their country
Right Wing Math:
Kerry bungled a joke = Bush bungled a war. (Amongst other things)
Kerry’s tours in Viet Nam = Bush “serving” in Alabama.
Yep, Even Steven!
Well, we may be seeing the “October surprise” that everyone expected. Unfortunately (for the Republicans) it’s pretty lame. Even Mr. Rove needs to have something to start with in order to work the big spin machine. Let’s see, they’re trying to call Mr. Webb a “pornographer” and misconstruing some comments by Mr. Kerry. It’s hard to imagine that Mr. Rove can’t do better than that, but we are in the last week prior to elections.
I guess they’re counting on Diebold to pull this election out of the fire for them. Either that, or they’re looking out at the economic horizon and have decided to hand the upcoming can of worms over to the Democrats, then try to blame us for the mess in 2008.
Mr. Kerry made a statement that could be considered insulting to our troops. I doubt that he meant it to be, but he should apologize anyway. That will make it even harder for Mr. Rove and his bunch to work it.
Oh, and just to update Roger’s post from yesterday, http://www.electoral-vote.com/ has slightly updated figures.
Unfortunately, WA-08 has gone back into the Republican column, but overall, the latest poll numbers give a 50-50 split in the Senate, and the projected House numbers are:
239 Democrats, 195 Republicans, and 1 so close even these folks won’t call it. (This outfit counts all “leaners” no matter how slight, so let’s not break out the bubbly just yet.)
Now, if we can manage to bring WA-08 back to the “D” column, and maybe even swing WA-05, we could really celebrate.

JCH says he love his country, he just hates any American that disagrees with him.
I really don’t think John Kerry owes an apology for anything. He is the smartest man I know, besides my best buddy, Ron Dotzauer. And he is really rich! He married an heiress. I guess I should have tried to do the same thing, instead of getting involved with this deadbeat who needed my money to pay off his child support payments.
But Kerry was trying to insult the President, the guy who isn’t as smart as Kerry, he wasn’t trying to insult the troops! He just got his words wrong. He does that a lot. Like when he accused the troops of terrorizing women and children in Iraq. He claimed that was a job for the Iraqis!
Oh, got to go. Harry Reid is calling to tell me what to do next . . .

Kerry wasn’t laughing – his audience wasn’t laughing – where is the joke?
Since his “campaigning” tour is now cancelled and he’s on his way home, it looks like the Democratic leadership isn’t laughing either. If the Democrats fail to take the house and the Senate, many Democrats will blame Kerry.

I know Limbaugh and Fox New’s talking heads won’t show it to you, but the group DOES laugh after Kerry screws up the joke. But it would be inconvenient to show the entire clip – that would screw up your hissy fit.
So a candidate who isn’t even running in this election (Kerry) cancelled two events. BFD. How about the dozens of GOP Candidates that don’t want the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, or the Speaker of the House to show up anywhere in their STATE? How about the GOP Candidates who hide the name “Republican” or “GOP” on their websites or their signs?

Hahaha! Yeah, you got that right… It’s a pretty easy observation though. Liberals equal crime. Too easy.
It’s NO FUCKING JOKE.
What a goddamn stupid idea [the invasion and occupation of Iraq] was, and is. The 107 rationales offered to support it were all utterly demented, either because they were immoral, unachievable in any real universe, based on fever dreams, or all of these together. The administration decided to pretend that the irrational was rational, and the Wise pundits nodded sagely, and the nation’s foreign policy was duly and with great pomp & solemnity flushed straight into the shitter under a banner reading “Mission Accomplished.” And we’re supposed to pretend that this was all just some “oopsie,” that the willing propagandists of this debacle were and are just doing the equivalent of debating the relative merits of differing proposals for the motherfucking capital gains tax? People are fucking dead. A lot of people.
It’s also no joke that ,a href=”http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15197832/”>the military has had to lower its standards to allow lower achieving students and more recruits with criminal records to meet its recruiting goals. Because of Iraq.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooslims and liberal Democrats: America’s enemies!!!!
John Kerry is just a wonderful man who wasn’t here to campaign for me. Oh, wait. Is that a good thing? I don’t know. Let me ask Dame Pelosi (as she prefers to be called).
I have lots of military experience, so I know what Kerry is talking about. Well, I never served myself, but I regularly sleep with a veteran, and I was born of a veteran. And I use my active-duty brother in my campaign. Wait, he disagrees with me. Never mind.
I also really liked that mailer the State party put together for me. That copyrighted picture of the soldier carrying the child – what a coup that they got permission for that! Wait, you mean they didn’t have permission? What idiot published an unauthorized picture in a flyer for me?
Never mind. Off to my next endeavor. Maybe today I will take up fly fishing! Wait, I’m still campaigning. Focus, focus. Just 6 more days, then I can go off on my next tangent.
Daddy Love, All militay officers are college grads. All Democrats are “Jane Fonda” traitors.
John Kerry apologizes:
Will that be the end of it? OF COURSE NOT!
Republicans can’t run on their record, so they want to talk about ANYTHING but their record. Because of Iraq.

Robert,
There’s no hissy fit here. I’ve known for a long time what Kerry thinks of the military. He just reinforced it the other day with his remarks.
As for the spin that it was a joke about Bush. There’s no joke there and furthermore, Bush’s GPA in college was higher than Kerry’s! Neither were brilliant in school and if they got those grades studying hard, I’m scared of both of them.
Daddy Love @ 149,
“If true (and you offer no support), so what? Who said they weren’t?”
You have to be a complete ignoramous to not know that!

Yeah, a Vietnam veteran who headed a veteran’s organization and is a persistent administration critic was criticizing the troops and not the administration. Uh-huh.
What a ridiculous claim. Gee, it couldn’t have anything to do with the disastrous Republican outlook in next weeks election, now, could it? I mean, Republicans wouldn’t be so craven as to sieze upon a slip of the tongue to unfairly lambaste an opponent solely for public relations, would they?

Poor, silly Klake, babbling again. Commentby K— 10/31/06@ 7:40 pm
Sorry K – Facts hurt the librul mind!
The Kerry flap is a typical Republican 11th hour scam. It ranks right up there with the Busby quote. I don’t know how careful every frickin’ Democrat in the country would have to be to avoid giving them something that they can quote out of context, blow up from nothing to a major issue, and plaster all over friendly media outlets for days.
If you don’t remember, in the special election to fill convicted Republican felon Randy “Duke Cunningham’s Housae seat, Busby told a Spanish-speaking questioner (who spoke only broken English) that he and others did not need to be registered to vote to help her campaign. She used two phrases in quick succession as she tried to get the concept across to her audience, “registered to vote” and “papers for voting.”
That wqas quickly picked up by the local Republicans and immediately blasted out in the press as “Busby says ‘You don’t need papers to vote,’ encourages illegal imigrants to vote.” Of course, it was no such thing, but try to get the truth out over the Republican Noise Machine. Heck, every true-blue Republican in this comments section will swear on the Bible that Busby was encouraging illegal immigrans to vote, even though it’s a bald-faced lie. They believe it, though (I think).
Literal transcription (it was spoken, not written). Remember, this is her response to a Spanish-speaking questioner who said he wanted to help her campaign but lacked voting papers. The question was translated into English and she responded, “Everybody can help. You can all help. You don’t need papers for voting you don’t need to be a registered voter to help.”
See how it works? Bilbray beat Busby, so the method is vindicated for the GOP. See them go on the Kerry thing. There’s no “there” there, but the noise won’t stop.
I screwed up the quote:
“Everybody can help. You can all help. You don’t need papers for voting [pause] you don’t need to be a registered voter to help.”
Daddy,
I don’t know about the other services, but the Army has an OCS (Officer Candidate School) and a college degree isn’t a requirement to get into OCS. When you complete OCS, you are commissioned as an officer. You would be highly encouraged to complete a degree after that and most would if they wanted to stay competitive with their peers.
Warrant Officers in the Army also do not have to have a college degree. Most soldiers to include enlisted go to college at some time in their career. Enlisted soldiers get promotion points and get promoted faster with college……….
As for you saying that they are lowering their standards to meet their goals. Yes, they are. Whenever the Army needs people, they change standards. During the TET offensive in Vietnam they were drafting people who said they were gay. The guys had to PROVE they were gay to get out of going to Vietnam. The Army was also forced to retain at least one of them, because his enlistment paperwork said he was gay and years later they tried unsuccessfully to kick him out for being gay. The Army also changes their medical standards based on their need for soldiers. There were soldiers in my unit before the first Gulf war that were being discharged for overweight and some for misconduct whose discharges were stopped and they were sent to the Gulf, and immediately upon returning the overweight ones were again targeted for discharge.
JCH at 100:
I know the difference, it’s you. The rest are normal, american loving people, while you like being fucked up the ass for money while calling the person “Tookie.” And then Atlas’ shrugs all over your bare ass. [hehe]
That was easy.
And does anyone still believe that you were in the Navy? I mean, I know you like dressing up when you give blow jobs, but that doesn’t make you a member of our arm forces. I mean, you like young boys, but that doesn’t make you a Republican Congressman.
Chuck at 94:
Remember, John Kerry supports Cantvoewell and Cantvotewell supports Kerry (she asked him to come pollute our airways so she must support his views) who feels our military guys are less than smart or educated
Remember, Bush supports Mark Foley, and Foley supports mollesting under age boys, which means by your logic that Bush supports mollesting under age boys.
And since you apparenlty support the GOP, you must also support mollesting under age boys.

The DoD document I quoted (39 Meg download) covers all service branches.
In the final full month before Election 2006, the number of people identifying themselves as Republicans has fallen to its lowest level since we began reporting this measure of partisan trends in January 2004. As a result, Democrats have their biggest net advantage of the past two campaign cycles.
In October, just 31.5% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That’s a startling decline of nearly six percentage points from 37.2% two years ago. It’s also down nearly a full point from last month.
Democrats have also lost a little ground since October 2004. Today, 37.7% identify themselves as Democrats, down a point from 38.7% on the eve of Election 2004.
However, Democrats now have a 6.2 percentage point advantage over the GOP, their largest recorded over the past 34 months. In October 2004, the Democrats advantage was a miniscule 1.5 percentage points.

And that’s from a Republican leaning firm. No wonder it looks so bad for the GOP in November.

Because of Iraq:
– Osama bin laden is still a threat
– Our military is spread too thin
– There are more terrorists in the world
– America is less secure
So if you see commercials or hear people telling you to be afraid because of terrorism, just remember: it’s because of Iraq.

Q: What is Bush doing to reduce sectarian violence (or civil war, depending on your PoV) in Iraq?
I mean, we’re over there “fighting insurgents,” but what are we doing to reduce sectarian violence? It looks like the largely Shi’ite Interior Ministry is part of the problem, what is the administration doing about it?
It looks like the insurgent-friendly hands who are everywhere in the police forces and the military (news reports recorded this phenomenon since we started to build those forces) could very well be, and probably are, supplying the insurgency with American-made and American-supplied arms; what is the administration doing about it?
Many top officers are beginning to think that setting a deadline and moving some troops out would cause the iraqis to move toward taking over sooner, so that the process will not take decades. What is the administration doing about it?
“There are cases of people having had electrical drills forced through their skulls and into their brains. Others have had their eyes burnt out. Many had hands bound by tape or handcuffs.” This kind of thing is what feeds the hatred of other sects AND hatred of Americans; what is the administration doing about it?
Just makes me wonder. Stay the course?
The Air Force is seeking a huge “emergency” budget increase — $50 billion.
Why? Because the Bush administration has no idea what it’s doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The budget process is out of control. They’re going to ram through a huge “emergency” military budget during the lame duck session of Congress in November — before the democrats take over — in order to avoid oversight and scrutiny.
Your tax dollars at work.
“I’m Dave Reichert, and I approved these ’emergency’ military appropriations just before I lost my seat.”

Bush does not supported Foley, now that it is known that he is a bit creepy. The Republican Party accepted his resignation, and he is gone. So the analogy that JDB uses at 153 is just a flat out lie.
But Ted Kennedy thinks that the self-admitted pedophile, Gerry Stubbs, was a great guy, even if he did like young boys. Of course, Teddy killed a young woman, so I guess Stubbs looks pretty good.
