Hey, CIP! You sort of flew through last night.

no choice. exhaustive schedule.
I'm taking my scouts camping for a week, so I'm prepping and sleeping.

okay, i'm going to make 2 statements on this thread tonight, and they're very different from each other.

one, most of us would actually like karl rove if we ever actually met him. that's the prevailing sense i've gotten from the journalists in washington. his charm is disarming. and so, i only stick up for him because i've long suspected he's the wrong guy in the wrong place. and he IS a wildcard.

now, my other point. we gotta not be afraid to discuss conspiracy. it's how FBI agents operate. which scumbag is colluding with which other scumbag? it's really that simple.

a coupla folks tried to ride me on these threads last nite for slamming lbj. i got home too late to really get into it.

it's no small potatoes when e. howard hunt confesses on his deathbed that lbj was in on jfk's murder.

so think about the implications. who's controlled the narrative since 11/22/63?

and if you love america and the constitution, do you have the fortitude to fight, and use the 1st amendment while you still got it?!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! As soon as McCainiac arrived here in Kern County, he would have a photo op at a local oil field and push once again to let the oil speculators have their way with us some more.

Sadly the county will still probably go red in the election as always.

I put this up earlier but didn't see any real reaction to it, so I guess it's cool if McCain wins in November then...

In swing-state Colorado, the Republican Secretary of State conducted the biggest purge of voters in history, dumping a fifth of all registrations. Guess their color.

In swing-state Florida, the state is refusing to accept about 85,000 new registrations from voter drives – overwhelming Black voters.

In swing state New Mexico, HALF of the Democrats of Mora, a dirt poor and overwhelmingly Hispanic county, found their registrations disappeared this year, courtesy of a Republican voting contractor.

In swing states Ohio and Nevada, new federal law is knocking out tens of thousands of voters who lost their homes to foreclosure.

My investigations partner spoke directly to Barack Obama about it. (When your partner is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., candidates take your phone call.) The cool, cool Senator Obama told Kennedy he was “concerned” about the integrity of the vote in the Southwest in particular.

He’s concerned. I’m sweating.

From here: http://www.gregpalast.com/obama-doesn%E2%80%99t-sweat-he-should/?noop=1

Granted, this dude is looking for money to put ads on TV (why can't he just use YouTube), but it's beside the point. The point is, this is a pretty serious issue that should be investigated and reported on BEFORE the election. Or do we just keep doing what we did in 2000 and 2004 and let the investigations go forward after the election when it's too late and no one cares?

So seriously, do you want McCain to win? If so, then just keep going about things the way you have and ignore the fact that millions are ONCE AGAIN being kicked off of the voter rolls. If you actually want to protect what little remains of our Democracy, spread the word and make DAMN sure that Obama goes into November with greater than a 10 point spread in each of these swing states (not the national polls, the state polls). Otherwise, it's just a matter of flipping a switch and getting away with election fraud FOR THE THIRD DAMN TIME IN A ROW!

So who will be our next president? McCain or Obama... The choice is yours. Let's not give it away without a fight BEFORE the election this time.

Bush administration projects record '09 deficit
Deficit for next year to hit $482 billion amid sagging economy

WASHINGTON - The next president will inherit a record budget deficit of $482 billion, according to a new Bush administration estimate released Monday.

The administration said the deficit was being driven to an all-time high by the sagging economy and the stimulus payments being made to 130 million households in an effort to keep the country from falling into a deep recession. But the numbers could go even higher if the economy performs worse than the White House predicts.

I've been saying for the last two years that I am eager to see the Latino community give the GOP the shunning it deserves. From the looks of it, it's indeed starting to happen. I still remember how NOW on PBS had comments from Puerto Ricans and Cubans who were feeling just as alienated as people of Mexican or Guatemalan, etc. descent, and that have every right to those feelings. I also remember the Pew Research Center's survey that suggested it was the newly immigrated to the U.S. who were making the mistake of voting Republican. The Rethugs have been giving them a crash course on why they ought not vote Republican and instead vote like those who've been here a couple generations longer, by demonizing the newcomers.

In any event, this 6th generation Mexican-American won't be voting Republican any time soon! ;)

Encourage the voters in your precincts to challenge the situations whewre they are being purged. Check the status of your registration prior to the elections.

Actually, I recommend re-checking now, or better yet, in those states that require you to pick a party, put down Republican, that way you are less likely to be purged.

They play their games, let's play ours. It'll be a double whammy: They'll keep the republican voters on the rolls and thereby make it look like there are millions more republican voters this year, and then watch THEM squirm for once when their projections don't match the results come November.

I'm in Colorado and about to move. I have to re-register when I do, and I'm going to be sure to put down republican to avoid having my registration purged.

BOSTON (AP) — Conservative political commentator Robert Novak announced Monday he has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, less than a week after he struck a pedestrian with his Corvette and drove away.

Novak, 77, fell ill on Cape Cod this weekend while visiting his daughter and was rushed to Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he said he was diagnosed Sunday with the tumor.

"I will be suspending my journalistic work for an indefinite but, God willing, not too lengthy period," Novak, editor of the Evans-Novak Political Report, said in the statement released by his publisher, Eagle Publishing.

There are about 1.5 BILLION Muslims in the world spread across much of Asia, Africa, Europe and N. America with each region, country and often city practicing a different form of Islam according to their own traditions and interpretations of the religion.

Also, when you say, "handle" what does that mean? Can Israel for example "handle" photoshopped posters of its leaders in Nazi uniform because of what they're doing to the Palestinians?

OR, does Israel go out of its way to label the culprits "Anti-Semitic" and puts extreme diplomatic pressure on that country to silence and squelch such "anti-Semitism"? So much was Israel's pressure brought to bear that in many European countries Holocaust denial is a crime.

Now, in case you haven't been paying attention, it's the second one.

In fact, Shimon Perez was visiting Egypt a few years ago and he made sure to bring up a recent caricature to Mubarak's attention. Mubarak in turn, closed the newspaper down.

Come to think of it, we don't have to go that far to find cases of people unable to "handle" cartoons, signs or posters, case in point: "Impeach" signs over which many "libruls" have been arrested for by the police and attacked by a bunch of knuckle draggers.

I do not want a man who is not thankful for our troops…Troops he would be leading as President, if he cannot even stop to greet them while travelling for even 10 seconds. Read Below:

Subject: Senator Obama's visit to Afghanistan

This is a guy that used to be in my ward - so someone I know personally. He is the father of six and currently serving in Afghanistan . This is his take of Senator Obama's visit to "the troops". Kind of a different take than what you will see on the news. Make of it what you will. ~ Sheri

Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone". I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers were lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States . I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief.

It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry, but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

Here's why they want to keep you scared of terrurrists: because it's good for business.
