The American voters fixation with the bullshit fantasy of a President that they perceived would be the best one to have a beer with has led us all to the worst financial crisis in a generation or more.
Yes the Joe Six-pack type of guy just like their ignorant self so stupid and lacking in curiosity that he seldom read a book or understood the world at the necessary level to lead, has led us all to the brink of the poor house.
The Carl Rove created myth of the conservative every man's man populist candidate that a majority of the dumb as a post American electorate elected and reelected in the form of one George W. Bush has bankrupted the country and probably the world and further bankrupted and destroyed the moral authority of what WAS the most powerful nation in the world.
Fuck Joe Six-pack and fuck the idea of Joe Six-pack as leader. It's a total and absolute bullshit myth.
The dumb shit American voters who returned these men to office again and again should wake up and ask themselves if they wouldn't have been better off electing someone more intellectually engaged and perhaps considered elite in the skills that would be necessary to run this country at a level of competency that was necessary for success. Someone not at all like their limited narrow mined and unworldly selves. Some one with, at the very lease, some sense of history and internationalism.
Not someone who's proven to be no more than a deadbeat, broken down, silver spoon in his mouth, trust fund baby, frat boy.
When your toilet backs up you don't call the fellow down the street to stop the shit from filling up the house because he's just like you, you call a plumber. But this is exactly what most dumb ass Americans did when they repeatedly kept electing these incompetent bastards to run this country. They bought hook line and sinker the crap about the elite press and elitist intellectuals and the educated being the enemies. They rejected the warnings of the experts. They didn't do even the most rudimentary homework of citizenship when it came to considering the qualifications of the candidates to lead this country.
It was all about personality and visceral horseshit like they were picking a winner on American Idol. The press didn't do their job and when along for the ride. Putting their own self interest above that of finding and publishing the truth. The centralization and infotainment nature of mainstream media news these days makes it even more important that the citizen meets their duty to dig even deeper to find the truth if necessary to remain informed on the issues of the day.
Maybe it's because they didn't understand the basic tenets and requirements of being a citizen in a democracy is to be properly informed about the world and how their government works and who they are really electing to represent them.
Now we find ourselfves in a total state of economic collapse and involved in two stupid wars in far away countries. Wars that drain our dwindling wealth and kill our young with each passing minute.
This crisis could of been avoided if this country didn't have an electorate that is so totally personally ill educated, intellectually lazy or disinterested in obtaining even a basic understanding level of the basic workings of a democracy as to be able to choice their political leaders properly. They whine endlessly about how they don't understand politics or politicians. They rely on unreliable resourses to provide bad information and in the end even allow these institution to do their thinking for them.
Stupid in is stupid out.
Had we had the least bit of competence in the leadership positions in this country the coming financial disaster could of been easily predicted and address in such a way as to avoid the present wide scale panic and the distinct possibility of a long term recession or worst. Not to mention the total stupidity of starting a war with Iraq.
This has been a widespread personal failure of the duty of American citizenship and due diligence by most Americans.
So welcome to the recession you ignorant lazy lame asses. See you in the soup line.

Florida Sheriff Now Under Investigation For Hatch Act Violation
The Florida sheriff who invoked the middle name of Barack Obama in an obvious attempt to stir up racial and ethnic contempt aimed at Obama because of phony attempts to brand him as a Muslim is now subject to a federal investigation for violation of the Hatch Act. Serves him right I say.
Brigitte Bardot Lets Palin Have It
Vote Now In Poll To Have Florida Sheriff Fired
Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott invoking of Barack Obama's middle name yesterday at a rally for Shara Palin has caused a major backlash. The local newpaper the Naples Daily News is conducting a survey. One of the choices is to have him step down. We hope you will take the time to vote by clicking here.
My Email To Racist Anti Obama Florida Sheriff
Dear Sheriff Scott,
It is my understanding that most police departments require that their officers remove their uniforms when they are going to participate in personal political activities. As Sheriff of Lee County you apparently don't adhere to this type of conduct as you demonstrated by your open support of the Republican Party and Sarah Palin at a recent rally in your county.
It is unfortunate that you have used your office to promote partisan, and I might add what could be considered to be racist or religiously bias activities. We all know what you mean when you invoke Barack Obama's middle name. This type of activity, whether you realize it or not, reflects badly on you and your community. I believe that most reputable law enforcement agencies would go out of their way to be impartial when they are representing the community, which you were doing by wearing your uniform.
Your activities are a throwback to the stereotypical idea of the Southern Sheriff using his office and power in the community for partisan or even racial bias interests. You also do the uniform you wear as a law enforcement officer a disservice by appearing to be other than impartial or even more significantly playing the role of a person promoting hate moungering or race baiting.
I worked in law enforcement for over 25 years before I retired. I have a brother who served as a police officer for 30 years. So I believe I have some standing when it comes to such things.
Whether you realize it or not, I think you have embarrassed your community and the office you hold and you should, at the very least, make a public apology before your consider resigning your position.
Sincerely,
Daniel O'Brien

A Strategy Of Demagoguery Promoting Hate And Racism
This type of slime ball tactic doesn’t fit the type of America anyone would want to be a part of unless they were a skinhead. Today Sarah Palin continued the McCain Campaign strategy of the character assassination and guilt by association against Barack Obama attempting to play up his association with a former sixties radical and the Reverend Wright.She asked the crowd what they would do about it and one man shouted out “kill him”.
Which I’m afraid one of these unhinged types may do, thinking it allowable since he’s a terrorist anyway. Meanwhile McCain himself stirred up a crowd in New Mexico saying Obama wasn’t really telling us the truth about his past. He then ask the crowd to tell him who they thought the real Barack Obama was, and someone yelled out, “he’s a terrorist”!
This type of demagoguery could comes straight out of a some hate group's manifesto. But it's the Republican Party.
I’m amazed that much of this crap is coming from a political pie hole of pipsqueak Sarah Palin. Where does this woman get off saying anything at all about the history of anything? She knows almost nothing. She'd probably still be in the political deep freeze of Alaska if the erratic John McCain hadn’t had an attack of gas the week he had to selected his Vice President.
This woman sickens me.
Flash Russia Wins Space Race
In case you hadn't noticed. John F. Kennedy is on heavy rotation in his grave with the news today that NASA will rely on the Russians to supply the international space station after 2015. The US will not have a human space program after that date.
First it was the spectacular opening ceremonies and success of the China Olympics and now this. What two things say more then ever that the Republicans have succeeded in turning us into a third world country unable to keep up with other major nations.

Virginia Racists Come Out From Under Their Rocks
A Virginia Republican leader and member of the McCain Virginia leadership team recently wrote an ugly OPED seeking to link every shallow form of ignorant bias in the direction of hating Barack Obama and, well, black Americans. Bobby May, treasurer of Buchanan County Republicans, wrote the piece. On it's face it make good fodder for a Chris Rock comedy hour until you realize it's entirely serious and aimed at the other stupid racist Macaca State bigots. This after McCain's brother called ALL the inhabitants of Northern Virginia Communist yesterday.What fucking age do these sick Neanderthals think their living in anyway? Send your emails to bobbyleemay@yahoo.com.
These Bastards Are Capable Of Anything It’s Not A Time For Complacency Or Taking Things For Granted
Much of the news this weekend is about the McCain Palin campaign signaling that it intends to go negative big time with personal attacks on Barack Obama’s character. We all know this really is an indication that the Republicans realize that they have NOTHING when it comes to winning based on the issues, especially on the number one issue the economy. A fact elegantly pointed out by Frank Rich in a NYT column today where he makes the case that the ambitious Palin is now the de facto leader of the ticket and that the grumpy McCain's mental and physical health is again a major question mark.
But in the Naval Academy trained mind of John McCain and his cast of borderline lackey criminal advisers where everything is framed as a war or battle to win, any defeat will be taken as devastatingly personal or “waving a personal white flag”. So look for even more erratic or desperate behavior out of the team of mavericks.
As Democrats we must all make an effort to finish the job at hand of electing Obama and all other down ticket Democrats. We must continue to act like we are behind, not ahead and take absolutely nothing for granted.
Nor is it a time for complacency because the polls continue to show the Obama campaign taking what appears to be an insurmountable lead. Things could change drastically during this last thirty days of the campaign given the history of such things, and the inevitability of a Republican October surprise.
Because the lying corporate bastards that run the McCain campaign, including the sack of shit phony candidate himself and his barely competent running mate Sarah the liar Palin are capable of just about anything in these last days of the election in their hope against all odds of pulling out a Republican victory.
Of course I realize that no politician has entirely clean hands, but these Republican weasels have taken it to the level of an art form in recent elections.
Complacency by Obama low information or under engaged voters who, believe that the election is probably won and could, decide not to show up to vote is a plausible possibility, especially in Blue States. This factor maybe true in Washington State where it appears Obama will win convincingly. But it could be more problematical in battleground states where the vote will probably remain too close to call given the erratic reliability of many polls this year and Republican propensity for criminal activity connected to voting.
Here in Washington State lower turnout by Obama supporters who think their votes are not needed will only help elect a conservative extremist like Dino Rossi Governor. An extremely distasteful local possibility should it actually happen.
We need every vote and every supporter to make sure that Obama wins big and that we carry Governor Gregoire and other down ticket candidates like Darcy Burner to victory.
The other factor could be a manipulation of votes through use of gamed voting machines or outright attempts to use phony voter fraud campaigns or voter caging to brand Democratic voters ineligible to vote. Republican attempts to disenfranchise voters here and around the country are a reality and probably going to be a factor. We must not forget that it’s the same criminals who stole the last two national elections who are still pretty much running the show for the Republicans now.
Voters cannot be placid about their right to vote. Now is the time to make sure your registration is in order and in Washington State if you are not registered you have till October 20th to register in person at your county elections department. Talking to your neighbor and friends or volunteering to work on a get out the vote (GOTV) campaign is also very important.
As Obama indicated, “This is a war for the soul of America”. We must remain vigilant and work to make sure every Democratic voter is properly registered to vote, engaged and prepared to fight for their right to vote if it is challenged.

Obesity Tied To Voting Repeatedly For Republicans
A new study at CalorieLab website shows that occupants living in traditionally red states are more likely to be obese than occupants of blue states. Red state Mississippi lead the way in obesity while newly blue turning state Colorado was the least overweight state. I don't know what to make of Washington State, ranked 32nd fattest state in 2008 moving down one spot from 31st in 2007.
Unpatriotic Palin May Of Cheated On Her Taxes
It appears Sarah Palin failed to report per diems as income on her tax return. Also how does Todd Palin rate a $50,000 to $110,000 per year payout from a British Petroleum retirement plan. I thought he has a blue collar job when he worked on the pipeline?
