What do Our Beloved and Glorious Leader and Hillary Clinton have in common??

—They both share one key block of voters - voters who ALWAYS vote. Year after freakin year- they’re there.

—-These voters are VALUES VOTERS - they value beer and french fries and little neato colored things off the Big Gulp counters to glue on your car or stick in yer hat or on yer clothing and who think the guy with a book in his hand is more evil than the guy with the chainsaw because the guy with the chainsaw looks more like them.

And when the guy with the chainsaw is done with them all, and their lives lay in ruins, do ya think they might look back and reflect on maybe they shoulda picked the guy with the book in his hand instead??

NO. They won’t. At least not in any great numbers. But just enough will. This time a few of them will allow the new guy in. And if it works, if the new guy is honest and genuine, next time the numbers could be downright amazing.

I’ve seen statements recently from the Iraqi rump government maintaining the pretense that U.S. forces are there by invitation, indicating that they’d overstayed their welcome. Granted the government is not legitimate and depends on the U.S. forces to stay in power. It’s a double-bind.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, McClatchey is doing a 5 day series called Guantanamo Beyond the Law. It will end on Thursday. Here are the topics and a link.

ABOUT THIS SERIES
An eight-month McClatchy investigation of the detention system created after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks has found that the U.S. imprisoned innocent men, subjected them to abuse, stripped them of their legal rights and allowed Islamic militants to turn the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba into a school for jihad.
Today: We got the wrong guys
Coming Monday: ‘I guess you can call it torture’
Tuesday: A school for Jihad
Wednesday: ‘Due process is legal mumbo-jumbo’
Thursday: ‘You are the king of this prison’
READ THE EVIDENCE

Bush ran for office to transfer as much wealth to the ultra-rich as possible in eight years. The military complex is raking in big buck; the private military corporations write their own contracts; CEOs of big corporations have almost quit paying taxes; the oil companies are awash in profits; the drug companies have never been richer; and, the top 1% own most of the country. If Bush had his way, he would eliminate the inheritance tax so that the rich could keep their wealth forever.

Meanwhile, the rest of us share a national debt that will limit the progressive agenda of President Obama. Bombing Iran will add to the debt and make the military corporations richer still.

Only the idiots will vote Republican again, but, if the Cheney-voting-machines tally the vote, we will have four more years or McBush.

I’m not totally convinced McSame even remembers what he’s said from one day to the next. That is NOT a reason to elect someone to high office. imho

That’s already happened.

Look how that worked out.

Some republicans still with a few operant brain cells had better wake up and realize what’s happening while we still have a chance to pull this planet outta the dumpster it’s headed toward.

I think voters are beginning to get the idea.

Why are politicians and MSM so slow to understand?

All the closeted information, cushy job possibilities, cool deal off-shore tax-free havens. NONE of this will make the slightest difference if they play this wrong.

Even the children’s children are getting angry.

Someone needs to tell the formerly ruling class to turn up their hearing aids and look out the window.

I did not say that I wanted to attack his service record. I’m just trying to figure out why he went from being a “true maverick” to this Bush clone. Most people think it happened sometime after the 2000 election, but I see that information is not correct (h/t njr83).

As far as the torture stuff – attacking his POSITION on torture now is NOT an attack on his service record. As someone who ostensibly HAS been tortured – he should be violently opposed – and in the past he was. He has now flip-flopped on that issue – and it DESERVES to be attacked.
