THE SACRIFICIAL LAMBS....how Rare, if ever, That a Major party uses up Candidates
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 01:42 PM by opihimoimoi
in a throw a way fashion...knowing the contest is futile....like pawns in chess....or a rear guard action when an army retreats...sacrificed for the whole....

McBlunder and Palin (Indicted) are Expendable to the Party. The GOP cannot afford to lose the few (quality) peeps they got for the future contests coming up in 24 months then 2012....the nx presidential pissing contest

These 2 are the sacrificial Lambs

1. Holy Crap. in 2 minutes this has dropped 5768798 miles down to the bottom
of the page....

I guess the trolls don wanna concede the truth...that their Party would do this...

It was mentioned weeks ago that McLoser was being thrown under the Bus....

This Pick confirms it....Palin was going to self destruct...why not help her .....?

3. Thanks...it will soon dawn on others that this pick makes it OBVIOUS
The Master Pubs decided to throw in the towel for any serious effort...they are the rear guard sacrifices while they plot for 2012.

McCane is TOAST from the word GO....

4. I've been thinking that about McCain since he got the nom.
I didn't expect to see any "major" candidate selected as VP because they wouldn't want to go down with the ship.

I hope I am right. I'm still uneasy about the polls being so tight though.

7. The way McCain lies he might beat Bin Laden to the "Gates Of Hell"
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 05:36 PM by Hubert Flottz
It might be a drag race to the "gates of hell" between Bush, Cheney, McCain and Osama. I hope Jerry has the checkered flag ready!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-R5Vh5tOWk&feature=rela...

JC sez you go to hell for lying just the same as you do for stealing or killing. John could be a POW again in a lot hotter place for a lot longer time, if the preachers are telling the truth.

FOX worships "American Idols"...and them liars are the GOPers go to news channel.

Can we trust a commander in chief that lies like McCain?

I'll bet you JC ain't a happy camper if he's Wrongway McSame's "Co-Pilot"

15. Maybe she wants a good spaking?
Repubs are kind of strange these daze...

Their "MORALITY" and "FAMILY VALUES" cards are about as stupid and useless as George Bush this time round. They are about out of trumps. Their ONLY hope is to cheat. The race card is about all they have left and they are sneaking around playing it to death. They wanted to drown the American dream in a bathtub. They've given it a hell of a shot too.

I think Obama and Biden are going to be the GOP's worst nightmare. If we get 60 votes in the senate I think our guys can pull us back from the brink that the necons have us teetering on the very edge of.

We could engage Russia now militarily about as realistically as a pig can set an air speed record. Our military is worn to a frazzle and spread out so thinly that anything we'd bite off now we would choke to death on like the USSR choked in Afghanistan a few years ago. Still McCain and the neocons are trying to stir up more shit. Peace will be extinct too, like so many other things, if the neocon dream trumps the American dream in November. Our chances are slipping away.

Again, I salute all the old time DUers who have cared enough to come here try and figure this crazy sh!t out. You don't have to be a POW to be a patriot.

16. McLoser proves your last point...ya don't have to be a POW to be a Pat
Many Ole time DUers are singing for Happy these daze

and the new ones too

But the DINOs/Trolls/Moles/Freeps/Saboteurs/Lurkers/and GOP Spies who come to for various reasons...more nefarious than benevolent, a

are not Happy Campers.............

Despite their efforts, collective or not, the situation looms dooms for them...good...so deserving....

The Obama Candidacy was underestimated by the GOP until (((GASP))) he went and ignored CW and picked ole Joe.....Then, beads of sweat emerged....The Race card, the Fear card, the Experience Card, etc all turned into useless ashes..."Oh Oh...now what"

The NeoCons, PNACers are in full panic....all their fuckin dreams & aspirations up in smoke(not the C&C Movie either)

and so the GOP Masters are licking their wounds for now...still mega powerful with Wealth but wounded politically....

Come, our Common DREAM of Reality/Sanity is about to wake up from too long a slumber...like that Rip van guy

19. I'd like to see the Reich Wing boiled in it's own oil...
Slo-roasted by having the 60 democratic senators we will send to DC in 2009 tear down every evil thing they have done to this country for the past 100 years and rub their nasty noses in it 24/7.

Let's send them to Political Hell in November and we'll see if Mr Dobson can save them from the heat.

22. Wait, I'm confused...
Is John McCain "utter Stupidity" or "Contempt for the American People" on this ticket?

10. In interviews she has said that she hasn't thought about Iraq much.
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 06:42 PM by tblue37
She has been governor of a relatively insignificant state for about the same amount of time Obama has been running for president. Her governing experience has been of the city manager type.

She hasn't given much thought to Iraq and therefore can't offer an opinion on it. And this is what will be a heartbeat away from the presidency if McCain gets elected? All of a sudden, his age really, really becomes an inescapable major issue.

The ethics investigations are just icing on the cake.

It's insulting to women to think that they would automatically vote for any bozo just because she has a vagina.

21. Sadly, it exists. Just like the many who will vote for
a penis or skin color. It exists. And it is exactly the kind of vote that McCain is fishing for with this nomination because any woman who would vote for that ticket because it has a woman on it is either hardcore RW or crazy.

11. Consider this - the repukes are gonna lose 5-7 senate seats this election
Which is going to affect the presidential election since 6 of those seats are in swing states and some of those democrats are kicking serious ass. Without a doubt we will pick up Colorado, New Mexico and Virigina - all three candidates, the Udell cousins of CO and NM along with Mark Warner of VA are very popular in their states and could help assure victories in states previously won by Bush.

We are also doing strong is New Hampshire - another swing state we've won but will probably keep PLUS we have close rases in Alaska and get this - MISSISSIPPI (Musgrove is doing well). There's 2 more states we could win. Plus we are looking strong in Oregon.

But we still have a good chance in NC, MN and KY

PLUS we're going to make more gains in the house.

Perhaps the repukes would rather turn everything over to us in assumption that we'll screw up so badly they'll have another Contract for America.

14. If Mitch gets canned in KY I'll party for a freakin' week!
Gawd I despise the sight of that sleazy asshole. And he's on TV here about 100 times a day, so you know he's scared shitless. Shelley Capito is running daily ads here about the "Cubans drilling just 60 miles offshore" which is just a flat out lie and I have yet to see a democratic ad that points out the truth.

Other than Shelley I think WV just might go blue and I think there is a strong chance we might ditch Capito.

I'd like to see the repubs in congress have to meet in the House and Senate crappers! It's where they really belong and I doubt if Dumplin' Dave Vitter or Scary Larry(bobblefoot)would much care.
