John Edwards . . . Media Whore: Sarah Palin . . . Everybody's Prom Queen

(Sarah brays at how much free swag she has received from the G.O.P.)


(At the same time, we don't give a womanizer a chance at a makeover for $400!)
Handlers for Sarah are the same pissants who made fun of John's haircut expense:

Woo-woo! John Edwards was lambasted for spending $400 on a haircut! What an "elitist"!

Uh-ohh. From Hypocrite HQ, the latest on the expenses from John McSame's campaign:

If Palin's $150,000 shopping spree had Republicans disgusted, then the report that her makeup stylist cost $22,800 for the first two weeks of October should have them livid. The stylist, Amy Strozzi, was apparently paid more than any other McCain staffer during that period. Check out a slideshow of Palin's looks during the first half of October:

Socialist Business Lover McCain Meets Pot Calling Kettle Black

McCain's Hypocrisy on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac


If John McCain were a "Straight Talker", he'd step up and fire all the hypocrites who've destroyed his badly run campaign by turning him into a braying jackass who no longer thinks before he speaks. And then McCain would fess up to his negative tactics which are embraced by Karl "Dr. Doom" Rove, Rush "Oxy" Limbaugh, Bill "Falafel" O' Reilly, and other henchmen who do the Neo Con lifting for today's festering Republican Party.

We cannot think he'll come clean before the election. He picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. End of story.

But just to keep it honest, you know how McPain keeps harping on how Obama has Mr. Raines (former CEO of Fannie Mae . . . and not even on the payroll) as his advisor (proven by the mainstream median to not be true), have you ever stopped to look over McCain's chain pullers?

Possible Treasury of the Secretary under John MorePain:

"Phil Gramm's career was as the most aggressive advocate of every predatory and rapacious element that the financial sector has," Mr. Galbraith said. "He's a sorcerer's apprentice of instability and disaster in the financial system."

Aww, man, that sucks. Be nice to the doddering Senator who is on the ropes. Let's talk to his Campaign Manager, Rick Davis:

WASHINGTON--John McCain campaign manager Rick Davis--under the spotlight because of his work for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac--is skipping a Wednesday lunch with reporters sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

On Tuesday, word came that McCain political director Mike DuHaime will substitute for Davis because he is "heading out on the trail" today.

Davis is the subject of stories in the New York Times and Newsweek about his work for the failed mortgage market makers. At issue right now: did Davis contradict McCain's statement that he has not been involved with Fannie and Freddie for some time.

Question: What is the matter with you people who actually question Authority? Are you anti-Americans for never questioning anything the GOP (Greed on Parade) sends you in the mail?

Please, be a patriotic American. Don't think for yourselves. Go out, shop. Be a good little consumer. Continue your dance into debt. Uncle Sugar has your back.

McCain's Flip/Flops Have Done Him In

John McCain, Just Another Bush Co. Bidness Man Looking to Seal the Deal by Any Means

A year ago, yours truly entertained the thought of voting for a McCain/Bloomberg ticket. Today, I wouldn't vote for a McCain/Jesus or McCain/Ghandi ticket. Not even the addition of a deep thinking human with a soul as VP nominee could erase any doubt in my mind that McCain was bent on further destroying America's place in this world via more Bush Co. pandering to corporate policy directing our national policy and pandering to hyprocritical "End Time" religious wingunts taking over the Supreme Court.

Rolling Stone Magazine has been been at the forefront of revealing the true John McCain which the suck ups in the Mainstream Media were late to unmasking. A recent piece from Rolling Stone, entitled "The Double Talk Express" simply took quotes and actions from McCain and placed them side by side in a slide photo type of montage.

Rolling Stone didn't catch all the flip flops that bloggers on the Internet have been chronicling, such as John McCain's dead on quote a few years ago calling Jerry Falwell and his ilk, "Agents of Intolerance", and how McCain is now actively pursuing the Christian Taliban vote . . . especially since he added Sarah Palin to his ticket. But that's okay. Their list is worth passing on to fence sitters everywhere.

Remembering how the Republicans had such a jolly time with their John Kerry flip flops in the last election, I thought I'd amalgamate the same list of quotes and actions of John McCain "Then/Now" in a linear written line up without the photos.

Just read this list and ask yourself why the G.O.P. "fun bunch" haven't thought of pasting McCain's photo to flip flops and selling them for a quick buck on Dick Cheney's favorite small business opp for middle class and lower class Americans: eBay?

When McCain started toadying to the Relgious wingnuts of the Jerry Falwell/Pat Roberston school of intolerance, and when McCain dropped his opposition to torture, that's when I knew the man was going to sell out to the Bush Company Neo Cons . . . and he has.

McCain's flip flops prove he is just another gutless politician who offers nothing more than another 4 years of the same failed policies of the One Party Rule which wrecked this country. So here's an incomplete list of John "Flip Flop" McCain:

1. 2001: "I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans."

NOW 2007: "I will not let the Democrats roll back the Bush tax cuts."2008: "I think that what we need is more tax cuts."

2. THEN 2006: Wrote McCain-Kennedy bill, which would have given 11 million illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.

NOW Jan. 2008: In GOP primary debate, was asked whether he would still vote for his own bill: "No, I would not."

3. THEN March 2008: Told The Wall Street Journal, "I'm always for less regulation."Called for "removing regulatory, accounting and tax impediments" to financial markets.

NOW Sept. 2008: As Wall Street melted down, declared, "We're going to enact and enforce reforms to make sure that these outrages never happen in the first place."

4. THEN 2007: "It was used in the Spanish Inquisition, it was used in Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia, and there are reports that it is being used against Buddhist monks today....It is torture."

NOW 2008: Voted against bill that would prevent waterboarding by requiring all U.S. interrogators to comply with legal standards imposed by the Army Field Manual.

5. THEN 2000: Favored "normalization of relations" with Cuba.2003: Called U.S. talks with Syria "appropriate."2006: Approved of U.S. talking to the Palestinian Authority.

NOW 2008: Said Obama's willingness to meet with enemy regimes shows his "naiveté and inexperience and lack of judgement."

6. THEN 1997: Wrote legislation to ban lobbyists from political campaigns. Said lobbyist fundraisers "clearly represent a conflict of interest."

NOW 2008: Campaign relies on more than 170 lobbyists to raise money and serve as aides and advisers.

7. THEN February 2008: Called Obama's insistence that America can track down and kill Al Qaeda in Pakistan the "confused leadership of an inexperienced candidate."


NOW September 2008: Voiced no objections when Bush ordered U.S. special forces to invade Pakistani territory in pursuit of Al Qaeda militants.

8. THEN Sept. 16th, 2008: "I do not believe that the American taxpayer should be on the hook for AIG."

NOW Next day: Backed bailout: "There were literally millions of people whose retirement, whose investments, whose insurance were at risk here."

9. THEN October 2006: Tells Chris Matthews of Hardball, "I think gay marriage should be allowed."

NOW Minutes later: "I do not believe that gay marriages should be legal."
