If Obama loses, it's gonna make LA '92 look like the fucking Hamptons.

[Cain]

If Obama loses and the polls are like they are now, it wont be pretty.

Then again, if McCain loses, it wont be pretty either.  Probably not as bad immediately, but over a period of time...

In short, whoever wins, it wont be pretty.

If Nader wins....

If Nader wins....

Wait, who's the Socialist candidate again? Brian Moore. 

We also have a Boston Tea Party candidate, Charles Jay. http://www.charlesjay2008.com/

Sarah Palin is the future of the GOP:

Dr. Charles W. Dunn, dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University, believes that even if Obama wins, Americans should give John McCain credit for picking Sarah Palin as his running mate.

"She is the heir apparent to conservative leadership. She is the heir apparent to having the mantle of Ronald Reagan bestowed upon her. She is the heir apparent to becoming the Margaret Thatcher of America," Dunn contends. "If she does not stub her toe along the way, she has a very bright future."

Dunn believes the first-term Alaska governor can bypass both Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee to become the future standard-bearer of the Republican Party.

Comparing her to Maggie Thatcher? Christ.

[Cain]

Called her that over here as well.

If they're comparing her to Margaret Thatcher in 1988, there's no way.

If they're comparing her to Margaret Thatcher in 2008, they're spot on.

[Cain]

Thatcher, for all her ludicrous political ideas, was a pretty canny political operator, and sharp as hell.  I don't like her, but I can respect that she managed to fight her way to the top of a male dominated party, prevailing against the political opinion of the party at the time, and held onto power until the moment her rule became totally untenable.

Palin is a joke, by contrast.  She was purposefully plucked from obscurity and made her entire way through the party by leeching off the gratitude of those in power, and has never had to face down anyone like Thatcher's cabinet (who, despite being nicknamed "the wets", were the biggest pack of back-knifing bastards in British history).

[East Coast Hustle]

like I said...no comparison to Thatcher '88.

Thatcher '08 suffers from dementia and shouldn't be allowed outside. They're peas in a pod, her and Palin.

[Cain]

Fortunately, I haven't seen Thatcher recently, since unlike Palin she has shunned all media contact in the past few years.

Obama had an "underage affair" with a gay pedophile, apparently.

As Highclearing points out:

In the course of considering Peak Wingnut Theory, John Cole discovers Erick Erickson of Red State staying classy by booming a National Enquirer story about the possibility that, as Erickson puts it, "Barack Obama had an underage, gay affair with a pedophile." That's a pretty interesting way to describe what may have happened between the two. Obama met Frank Marshall Davis when Obama was ten years old. When people discuss (possible) sexual contact between ten-year-old boys who are not their political enemies and grown men, they usually refer to the "underage gay affairs" as sexual abuse. They also recognize that adults who have been abused may or may not wish to tell the whole world the details, and they respect it. Admittedly, most people are not members of the NAMBLA wing of the Republican Party, or, failing that, curdled into pure meanness. Maybe Erickson just holds with the more sweeping theories about the cultural construction of the age of consent. Whatever the reason, he's sure that that little vixen, ten-year-old Barry Obama, was asking for it man.

What the fuck?


What is wrong with people?


Isn't it obvious that the 10-year-old Obama raped that guy?

Interesting, quote/unquote, turn of events there.

But he's only half black.  What's halfway raping?
