You may need to show a little sympathy to Sil, it must be extremely difficult for one to grasp at any tiny crumbling or non-existent straws one can find while keeping one's tinfoil hat from falling off.

McCain is not “imperialistic,” much less “petro-colonialistic-imperialistic and war-destruction-and-death-obscessed.”

You might want a night light after you see it.

Are you saying the Larry Sinclair story doesn't exist? Or maybe just that it isn't “in play”?

lol….pretending something doesn't exist isn't going to help you. And neither is ridiculing it's messenger.

Animal behavior..

“Everyone on that show last night, liberal and (what seemed to be) conservative commentators, were agreed that McCain's campaign currently is disastrous. Blaming Obama for high fuel prices? (the kind of ridiculous thing Shaun does all the time with Bush and now sometimes with McCain) Everyone was laughing at how pathetic that was. McCain really is plodding and muddling along”

Oh silly people…when will you learn that the GOP doesn't “muddle” without a good reason..?

Look for the “muddling” to clear up just after Hillary isn't nominated. If you have any doubts about the GOP's ability to be ruthless and sly, just check your history books or recent news..

There is something so disconcerting about watching critters pecking at grain bits and walking straight towards a deadfall trap. You just want to reach out and shoo them away no matter how many times they peck your fingers away in defense of their “sure thing”…

When a predator stalks it's prey it often will adapt very odd behavior to fool one of the weakest of the herd into a one-on-one. Doesn't anyone watch The Discovery Channel anymore?

The GOP is affecting a limp. Don't be fooled. They have the Larry Sinclair story “in play” and perched ready to drop the minute Hillary does from the race officially..and permanently..

They want Obama to look the stronger candidate now…it keeps the real competition from having a chance…they know if everyone finds out about the Sinclair story, there will be a cry for Clinton to step in…and that's something the GOP cannot so easily bat away with a scandal story, they've already vetted her that way.. Not so with Obama…oh dear me no.. They haven't even begun..

The Obama Trap..

What the Republicans should do in Minneapolis is decide that Senator McCain is a massive disaster and open the convention up to nominating someone who actually is a Republican. Of course, the next day Shaun would have a post linking the new candidate to the Bush Administration and repeating his mantra of Cheney, corruption, and low poll numbers.

I was listening last night to lefty talk radio. In the afternoon-evening that station presents what sounds like the audio presentation of a television political news program. Everyone on that show last night, liberal and (what seemed to be) conservative commentators, were agreed that McCain's campaign currently is disastrous. Blaming Obama for high fuel prices? (the kind of ridiculous thing Shaun does all the time with Bush and now sometimes with McCain) Everyone was laughing at how pathetic that was. McCain really is plodding and muddling along and is going to effectively rely on what anti-Obama votes may come his way from swing voters in addition to those of very suspicious, wary, unsupportive truly conservative voters. McCain has to select a conservative as his VP or he may as well concede, forfeit, resign at any time. He's probably going to choose some GOP establishment guy instead; he may have been going over a list of candidates with the elder Bush.

Of course we're going to play games with you. We're the Dems' flagship! This Democratic campaigning we're doing is for real. Screw you, McCain and other Republicans. We hate you.

Time to put it away instantly. Superdestroyer, Shaun with his Bush-bashing and weak copycat McCain-bashing should be put in charge of McCain's dysfunctional campaign. McCain has blamed Obama for the recent rise in motor vehicle fuel prices. That's standard operating procedure with Shaun. Obama should be blamed for Bhutto's assassination, too, along with anything that goes wrong either in Iraq or Afghanistan, if Shaun were to be hired to do what he does routinely here, for McCain's campaign. It's the same thing Shaun does with Bush every day.

BAM! … phlopp

Eventually foreign policy has to go beyond telling people what they want to hear. Senator Obama has not reached that point yet and progressive blogers definitely are not going to talk about it.

I guess the daily bashing of Senator McCain when he has zero chance of being president makes up for the obtuseness of refusing to look at the policy proposals on Senator Obama. When I looked at them, the appeared to have been written by the screen writers of the West Wing.
