Those are not my words, I copied them from Wikipedia. The neoright pundits are silent (or sounding a bit confused) these days because the emperor's nakedness is now out there for all to see. It is not BIG GOVERNMENT they oppose. They have always wanted a government large enough to effectively tell the rest of us what to do in our personal lives. It is big government that does not promote their narrow agenda. We have made socialism a third rail word in American politics. Is Fascism also a third rail word? Our congress and the repugnant administration is taking us a giant step in that direction even if the word is taboo. Words appear to have different meanings depending upon whose ox is being gored.

You will have to pardon my negativism. Being unemployed I have too much time to obsess about the layoffs I see daily on the news and wonder when the powers are going to “rescue” anyone not already a millionaire.

Obama only decided to run the Keating 5 ads AFTER the McCain camp had Palin bring up Ayers and Wright. And although McCain wasn't charged with anything, the adjudicating body said he used bad judgment.

We're looking at judgment calls- is it bad judgment to serve on a board with someone who was an antiwar radical when you were 8 or bad judgment to accept funds from a party that has business before Congress?

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you're serious aren't you. You actually believe Obama has run a campaign free of “name calling” and smearing his opponent?

What planet have you been on for the last 5 months? I guess the Keating 5 ad – a situation where McCain was exonerated and where he himself says he used bad judgement – is talking about “issues.”

Get off your high horse. Obama is doing whatever it takes to win. And smearing McCain is one good way to do it.

You talk about my infatuation with Palin? Jesus Lord when are you going to take the mote out of your own eye so you can see how far you yourself are in the tank for The One? Anyone who believes this rookie is qualified to be president should have their head examined. Name one presidential candidate from either party in the last 100 years less qualified for the presidency than Obama? You can't.

And that makes your advocacy of him as partisan as anything I've ever written anywhere about McCain/Palin.

Super D: I may actually revisit Town Hall to enjoy the recriminations after the election as well as listen to righty as well as gloating-lefty talk shows just to, again enjoy (in a somewhat perverse sense) the post-mortems.

Also, I'd say we're well into the fourth quarter now, and there's a possible question of its being three touchdowns ahead for the Demmies at this time. As others have already said, Obama at this point can just avoid mistakes and “run out the clock.”

Nothing to see here, please move along and remain silent.

When behind by a couple of touchdowns early in fourth quarter, the coach does not start ranting at the players and assistant. One should wait until the end of the game to start ranting and making long changes.

Your thesis should probably be reexaimed around the Dec. 1 to see if the conservative pundits are in excuse making mode or in demanding change and heads mode.
