Re: Andrew Sullivan Is A Fraud

He was on Colbert Report tonight supporting Obama. He was basically saying Bushco blew it. I wish more conservatives would have this epiphany.

Don’t give credit to Sully for donning a Capt. Obvious cape. Andrew Sullivan was one of the loudest beating the Iraq War drums. He has a memory like an NFL cornerback in that he has an innate ability to forget all of his worst plays. We have no such excuse.

Sully is a weather vane. And his “epiphany” was a business decision. He was transformed from an unappreciated gay neo-con/Bush-loving conservative outsider to a high profile “repentant” conservative warmly embraced by “liberals.”

As his shift “validated” their positions, many liberals were all too willing to accept him. Suddenly, Sullivan was more relevant than ever. The Time mag gig followed shortly thereafter. More money and more attention for him.

Trust me. Next time the GOP fronts a candidate younger, prettier and slightly more sane than McCain, Andy will have a man-crush all over again.

Re: Colbert: Typical Sullivan. His calculated pre-scripted cheesey applause lines make me cringe every time.

I wonder how long Bush was student council president before his popularity tanked to 23%.

On Faux, Rudeee Giuliani just claimed McCain is a “real American” but contrasting that Biden and Obama are not.
__________________________________________________________

This mindset is disturbing. Rudy and his ilk like to brand anyone who doesn’t think exactly the hateful way they do as “not a real American”.

I believe this lack of tolerance for any kind of diversity would be called fascism, wouldn’t it?

Another reason to vote against them.

This sounds more like her issue with not giving up her virginity in high school to be more “popular”. Well, good for her. I can see wanting to make that comparison for a woman. Unfortunately it doesn’t help Bush. George has proven himself not to be the president of the every man. He has been the president of the rich elites who look down on the masses.

Perino “…we can be proud of how we’ve addressed them. Everybody would like to be popular. You can all remember that back in high school, everyone really wanted to be popular. Some of us just weren’t.”

‘Some’= 75%-plus

I know No Child Left Behind only mandates the teaching of English Comprehension and Math and everything else seems to be an elective but Perino obviously doesn’t make the grade in even those two subjects.

The truly tragic thing is that this is the quality of insight that Bushco has relied on for eight years.

Shenanigans

Wisconsin–According to AP, some GOP GOTV workers were told to introduce themselves to voters as “volunteers”, even though they were actually paid temps from an agency.
Now they say they are being stiffed on some of their hours.

They were hired by The Lincoln Group who are contracted by the RNC.

The Lincoln Group are the guys who invented the “babies tossed out of incubators” story of the 1991 Gulf War, and who provided Kuwaitis to pose as American flag-waving Iraqis to greet the US troops in Baghdad.

Everybody would like to be popular. You can all remember that back in high school, everyone really wanted to be popular. Some of us just weren’t.

Ms Cuban Bay of Pigs Missile Crisis invokes the cliques of yore to explain away Chimpy’s actions ; who woulda’ thunk Bubbleheaded Barbie would try her hand at behavioral science so late in the game ?

“Everybody would like to be popular. You can all remember that back in high school, everyone really wanted to be popular. Some of us just weren’t.”

Oh, come on, Dana — I’m sure you were very popular in high school, with all that down-on-your-knees, mouth open stuff you were doing…

BTW, all — 90,000 people at the Obama rally the next town over from me in Manassas, VA last night. I really think this might happen after all…

Alright.. I know everybody on TP knows that this country is in far more danger that it was pre-Bush. Still, how does she say with a straight face, that Bush did ” a good job of keeping this country safe” when we’ve had the deadliest attack on U.S. soil, in our history, on his watch. How does she rationalize the deadliness and destruction of Hurricane Katrina? How does she even begin to explain the resurgence of Al Quaeda in Afghanistan? Off to go vote now. I’m so grateful that this 8 year nightmare is almost over.

Hope.

Big lines are already forming by my polling station!!!

REMEMBER–THERE’S STILL TIME TO VOLUNTEER. IT ONLY TAKES A BIT OF YOUR TIME AND IS AS EASY AS DOOR HANGERS.

I’m personally letting my kids be excused from school to help today. Yes, it’s that important (and they’ve got straight A’s in AP classes anyway).

Please do your best to help today and be civil to others regardless of their political beliefs and long wait in lines.

Peace

Perino is a goof.

Some students vandalized their school and smeared feces in the hallways and that is why they were not popular.
