When Steve Schmidt is criticizing the NYTimes…
… He’s not slighting FOXPRAVDA in the least, is he?

I mean, IOKIYFOXPRAVDA?

He speaks from two faces and with forked tongue. Get that whiff of mendacity permeating the McCain campaign?

Marie Says:

McCain’s staff records are like his medical records. The press got three hours to look at 1100 pages — that’s it, no second visits. This is the guy who selected Palin, an extreme fundamentalist, to be next in command.

If this were not so very, very serious, it would be laughable

McCain doesn’t seem to have the mental faculties needed to be even a mediocre President.
His thinking seems to be serambled.
It’s like he’s making himself dizzy trying to keep up with his lies and b.s.

Essentially a Rovian tactic, even if anyone looks at his record, they’ll lie and lie for the base. What a bumch of ignorant gullible warmongers and christian fundies.

Davis claimed, “I never lobbied a single day. I lobbied every day for five years!”

Let’s look into it then.

A quick search on wiki will tell you that Davis has been an outspoken lobbyist, and not just for McCain.

From the NY Times article:

At the time that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac recruited Mr. Davis to run the Homeownership Alliance in 2000, they were under new pressure from private industry rivals and DEREGULATION-MINDED REPUBLICANS who argued that the two companies’ federal sponsorship gave them an unfair advantage and put taxpayers at risk. Critics of the companies had formed their own Washington-based advocacy group, FM Watch. They ( the critics) were pushing for REGULATIONS that would DETER the companies from expanding into new areas, including RISKIER and MORE PROFITABLE mortgages.

Those Riskier and More Profitable Mortgages are the ones that the Taxpayers are being asked to bail out….as well as the Credit Default Swaps designed to insure this Risky Business.

To bad there were no Regulators on the job to point out what a BAD MOVE this Might Be.

cCain campaign strategist Steve Schmidt called the New York Times a “pro-Obama organization” and said, “it is not today — by any standard — a journalistic organization.” Davis claimed

Hey, did he just call the place Bill Kristol works a non-journalistic organization by any standard.

The Dogfather Says:

I’ve got a better question for McLiar: how does he reconcile his statement that Schmidt “has stopped that, has had nothing to do with it since” with Schmidt’s statement that he “never lobbied a single day”? Which one of them is lying — McLiar, or his lying liar of a campain mismanager?

My bet is on both…

My bets on McCains response:

“I never said that”

“Uhm uh.. uh the uh.. they they are not lobbyists. Look Americans dont care about that. Americans care about my vision and the fact Obama is a liberal… blablablabla”

“Look it doesnt matter. What matters is the fact that once in my life I would have been damn lucky just to see an American lobbyist. Back then I was living in a place called the Hanoi Hilton… blablabla”

Its trulty pathetic to see how McWorse keeps on digging his hole deeper, and deeper, and deeper still. Between his reality-challenged existance and Ms. Pain’s Fantasy Based Reality, their staffs must have their hands full trying to keep their mutual insanities from annihilating each other. And, to quote Homer, It Just Gets Worse and Worse! DOH!
Impeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!
Impeach Palin and Restore the Rule of Law!

Lobbyists: get on board the McCain Corporate Express to Nowhere… It looks like the greedy speculators in the real estate mortgage re-selling market are moving back into the electronic oil futures markets – all conveniently left totally unregulated by the Bush crime family. Heck of a deregulation there, Grammy and McCainy.

These guys go through more burning pants every day than if they simply lit matches to their gaseous excretions.

Except their gaseous excretions come from their mouths and they are NOT burps.

“1st Amendment Absolutists”? I don’t think those words mean what they want them to mean. Apparently the Jebus/Chippy/Flippy campaign is under the impression that the 1st Amendment protects liable, slander, and every other possible permutation of lying.

And Marie? You have to let yourself laugh at some of this crap to keep sane. Between the constant efforts to cover Flippy’s latest incoherent gaffe, to the hiding of Chippy from coherent questions, it is laughable despite the peril.

Plus, there are many indications that Chippy and Flippy drive more sane people away every time they open their mouths. So, I strongly recommend a hearty laugh, even if it’s a bit grim, and look forward to the day we can say, “at least we aren’t so far gone that we let those two clowns gain the White House”!
