Talk 2 Action: Values Voter debate panelist miffed at GOP no-shows: "How can we expect these no-show candidates to take on Osama Bin Laden and other world leaders when they're afraid to show up and answer questions from Phyllis Schlafly?"

Hey, I've got an idea, let's put Phyllis in an undisclosed cave somewhere along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, and then re-invite the now-unafraid GOP field to a "values debate" where they are expected to bash homosexuals, women, Hispanics, and other potential voters in order to make a small minority of so-called "Christians" less unhappy.

Well, it's an open thread...

I have a brandnew blog, a very modest effort (mostly because I'm still figuring out how to run one), but there's a new post up about how, with all the extra fingerprinting and photographing and gathering of personal data about everyone who comes into the United States (and treated like potential terrorists particularly by LAX), a man in New Zealand who quite likely murdered his wife, stuffed her into the trunk of his car, took his three-year-old daughter to Australia and dumped her there at a train station, got on a plane and flew to L.A. has now vanished somewhere in the States... and Homeland Security doesn't know where he is. Seems that while our government isn't so fastidious about getting warrants to violate the civil rights of our citizens, Interpol didn't bother to notify the LA police or LAX that the New Zealand police were looking for this guy... because NZ hadn't issued the proper warrant yet. The L.A. police first found out about it by seeing it on the evening news. Oh, and before this guy left NZ, he went to the police station to collect his samurai sword that had been confiscated after he'd been convicted of battering his wife - the one he later seems to have murdered.

Feel safer now?

Please stop by, have a read, make a comment.

In the repug candidates' defense, she IS scary. And she's also another GOP gay basher with a gay son. Hypocritically pitiful.

Phyllis Schlafly was a major opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and said that if it passed (it didn't, her fear mongering helped to stop it) that women would be fighting in combat. Well guess what? Women still do not have a right for equal pay and they ARE fighting in combat.

Who the fuck is this brain dead bitch to demand that anyone answer any of her questions? Who are the Necrophiliacs who care about this dried up prune?

Phyllis isn't the only one to get the Phalis from the top teir Republican hopefuls. Tavis Smiley at the African-American debates, and the Latio debate earlier this month. Both have Repub no-shows.

It'a gonna be hard to win elections without the minority votes. But more problematic is the value voters which has been far and away their best bet. Without that the Repubs are surely sunk.

Is it just me or are they beating this Move On shit a little bit too much , this allegedly "liberal media " that hasn't stopped bringing up name for over a week , repeating every contrived outrage by the republicans , oh my somebody criticized a General, well if he can't handle Move On , he better stay out of Iraq . And if those supporters of bush's illegal invasion and looting of Iraq aRE so desperate to change the subject , perhaps the immoral degenerates could work on extended health care for low income kids , no these filthy sycophants for the neocon war , would rather ESCALATE an already huge blood bath, causing millions of refugees , but of course if they don't give a damn about poor , low income AMERICAN kids , they sure as hell don't give a shit about millions of homeless Arab kids or the pain pain and suffering THEY CAUSED, by supporting the Vampire in the White house .

And the Ghoul didn't know how to respond to a question about the Black Water Shooting , stuttering like an imbecile , " we send them our prayers " . Gawd , the audacity of this Criminal , to stand up and lie with so much ease and with no conscience , but of course sociopaths don't have any conscience , especially rich powerful ones , with only one ambition in life too continue their carnivores , predatory acquisition of power and more money and more power , over the dean bodies of literally millions of people around the world .

The bare fact is that Phyllis has done more to harm this country then OBL.
Because we as a nation united aginst the Osama bogeyman, but we have been irreperalbly damaged by her Heritage Foundation's 30-year slice and dice divisiveness. Worse yet, their sanctimony is totally disingenuous. They are just a group of oligarchs who know they can use abortion, gay rights and what's left of welfare, and race and religion to get their base whipped up into a froth and left unaware until everything they thought they had is gone. How's that 2nd mortgage working out for everyone? Pray hard.

"
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The shiny tiaras and bracelets that little girls love to wear need to contain lead despite its dangers to keep the cost down for consumers, the Fashion Jewelry Trade Association told a congressional committee on Thursday.

"The total elimination of lead in jewelry, particularly jewelry that is not intended for young children, would impose difficulties and costs on the industry and adversely affect quality and costs to consumers," Michael Gale, president of the jewelry group, told a House of Representatives Energy and Commerce subcommittee."

And if you buy the "real" stuff you support warlords. Do what i do, don't wear it.

Watching the repeat of the Daily Show tonight-- has Wesly Clark ruled out running as Vice President? Imagine a ticket of Obama/Clark? Obama could pave the way on the domestic front and bringing a new face to American diplomacy and Clark, who admitedly I do not know much about, but he seems like an actual honest and good man, could help advise him on Iraq and more a more strategic, rather than barbaric, foreign policy? (wow, that was a long sentence)

My prefered dream line up might be: Kucinich/Obama w/Richardson SoS and B.Clinton as UN ambasador; I would take an Edwards or Clark pretty much anywhere in there. Sec of Def- honestly dont know the best person to put there; they can not have had served in the military right?

Phyllis Schafly is a washed out old hag. It's been decades since she actually mattered and she knows it. She's spending the last years of her life desperately trying to bring herself back into the spotlight but when she passes away very few people will know, and those who care will only care because they're glad the world is rid of her.
No doubt Israel will also be sad when she dies, just as Israelis were devastated by news of Falwell's death. Falwell and Schafly were the pioneers behind the christian zionism movement. They were so successful that christian zionism is now considered mainstream in christianity.

Meanwhile the rest of the Republican 'fiscal policy' has spiraled the dollar into tailspin, biggest trade deficit in recent memory, largest debt in history, and presided over the most lost American manufacturing jobs in history (yep...even more than Reagan's crusade against the middle class)

Could Olbermann move to CBS News after his contract with MSNBC is up? - http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071008/kitman
The launch of Katie Couric a year ago as the anchor of the CBS Evening News was hailed by CBS as the biggest thing in news since, well, the invention of denture fixative commercials. It was also the biggest flop. The CBS Evening News Without Dan Rather or Bob Schieffer had its lowest ratings since Nielsen began tracking evening news shows in 1987.
This turn of events stunned CBS executives--who had given her the famous "Kiss Me Kate" contract, which paid Couric $15 million a year--and the news consultants who thought she was the answer to CBS being mired in third place in the network news race for the past ten years.

"Crime is on the rise nationwide and police chiefs are calling on local, state, and federal governments to enact 39 specific recommendations to reverse the trend. The recommendations for policymakers, police, and community and philanthropic leaders are the result of the Great Lakes Summit on Gun Violence; a groundbreaking collaboration of 200 law enforcement and elected officials and public health experts to develop a cooperative approach to reduce gun related crime and violence."

Never "Misunderestimate" the ability of Bush to out-bizarre himself as he did at Thursday's bewildering "news conference." "I heard somebody say, 'Now where's Mandela?'Well, Mandela is dead. Because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas." Uh, Nelson Mandela is quite alive, George. Also, Cheney voted against a Congressional resolution, when he represented Wyoming, to encourage the then Apartheid regime of South Africa to release Mandela from jail. Ironic, eh?

Robert Gates is the September 21st BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week: "Gates essentially argued that the military was so depleted that the Busheviks couldn't afford to follow prudent and considerate treatment of our GIs. In short, it was a tacit admission that this Administration has broken the back of our military and is treating our GIs like indentured servants.
In short, Gates, the cabinet official responsible for the military, undercut the health, family life, combat readiness, and morale of our troops." (Sign up for early notification of the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.)

and then re-invite the now-unafraid GOP field to a “values debate” where they are expected to bash homosexuals, women, Hispanics, and other potential voters in order to make a small minority of so-called “Christians” less unhappy.

Isn't that what the pilgramges to give speeches at Bob Jones are for?

Did no one else catch the exchange between Chris Matthews and another blond, right-wing shrill bitch (Laura Ingraham) last evening on HARDBALL! Matthews began by delivering a BIG KISS ON THE LIPS compliment to Laura and by the end of the segment they were ready to scratch each other's eyes out...it was FUN...Gotta wonder where the Repug Cons manage to find all these nasty blond ladies (and some brunettes - Malkin)...

Pissed-off_Dem @ 75:

Democrats who voted along with the repubics today on the MoveOn.org vote:

YEAs ---72
Baucus (D-MT)
...
Webb (D-VA)

Vote these m-fers out of office, including Jim Webb, next time they are up for election.

No, you have to cut Webb some slack, unless you want another Macacca. Although Warner is retiring, Webb still is a junior Senator under one of the most powerful men in Washington. And what better place to curry some Warner favor than a brainless Resolution to go with announcing that March 15th will be remembered as Caesar Should Have Known His Friends Day.

We are going to see a 'before Warner' and 'after Warner' Webb, and this is NOT a substantive act by him. It's a friggin' stupidity of a resolution, and boohoo, Move-On will just have to get over it.

SENIOR Senator Webb is going to be a much freer voice for a return to sanity, and his replacement (or such talk) is NOT a good use of political resources. There are others on that list who have now also officially b*tchslapped Move-On, and big deal. I'm sure they are up to the task.

Ask Ms. Schafly about her gay son. That either shuts her up, or gets her to tap dance that "my son doesn't apply to my gay-bashing" statements.

Just like Cheney is with his daughter. They make gay bashing policies, but won't address the issue with their own spawn.

U.S. Banks Brace for Storm Surge as Dollar and Credit System Reel

Bernanke can either be a statesman---and tell the country the truth about our dysfunctional financial system which is breaking down from years of corruption, deregulation and manipulation---or he can take the cowards-route and buy some time by flooding the system with liquidity, stimulating more destructive consumerism, and condemning the nation to an avoidable cycle of double-digit inflation.

We’ll know his decision soon enough.
