Ah, McCain, you’ve done it again!

Actually, am I the only Australian who thinks of oven chips when reading about the election?

loosely? he announced his candidacy in the mans living room. He funneled half a million dollars of Illinois state funds to him for his “education” projects. Obama’s mentor is Saul alinski who in his book “rules for radicals” talks about manipulating people by leading them to think that you are for what they are suffering against and then doing nothing to fix their problem while you blame the reason you cant get anything done on someone else. Is that radical enough for you? Oh and btw how did a poor kid like him afford to go to columbia or harvard? “Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a “mentor” to the founders of the Black Panther party at the time the party was founded in the early 1960s. ” – taken from http://www.newsmax.com/timmerman/obama_harvard_/2008/09/23/133199.html

Is that radical enough for you? The man hangs out with terrorists, idolizes and receives money from radicals and then when hes been given a position of power he repays those radicals with millions in state (and federal) funds. Does that sound presidential? Does that sound like hes “protecting and defending the constitution of the united states to the best of his ability”? Or does he sound like a complete fascist?

wait didnt the need come from your boy roosevelt in the great depression? Creating fannie mae (a government agency) to give people “affordable housing” when they really couldnt afford it just so more minorities and poor whites could have a house is an epic fail in the making.

George had cited in his 2001 budget (drawn up in april or may) that fannie and freddie were a serious concern. The senate banking committee drafted a plan in 05 to fix this problem before it got too far out of hand. the republicans voted for it and the democrats voted against it … since the republicans didnt have a 60-40 majority the vote failed. Barny frank, chris dodd, hillary clinton, and barack obama all received over $100k from fannie and freddie so of course they voted against fixing the problem when it could have been fixed with a new oversight law (or at least diminished).

Bush didnt want to endorse this bail out but personally i think he got worried about the economy and decided that (although the housing market has only lost 20% of the value that it gained in the last few years when it was artificially about 30% inflated) he needed to endorse the idea. since a lot of people in high places were starting to say he needed to act and the economy was just heading down the toilet he changed his tune.

Dont get me wrong hes an idiot for doing it overall but he felt he had to do something and the free market wasnt fixing it so he (for some stupid ass reason) signs over just about 1/3 of the federal budget to one guy to give out to who ever he feels like.

So yeah bail out bill… stupid move… did bush cause there to be a need for a bail out bill? no.

The only way to remove identity politics is to remove identity.
The reason why the problem is not nearly as severe in countries that use the Westminster system, is because you aren’t voting for the person who is going to be in charge, you are voting for the party.
And indeed, in Australia, there really isn’t just one person in charge. The Quen gives all power to the governor general, whom is appointed by the prime minister, but will only exercise any significant power as requested by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is mostly a figurehead for the party they represent, and still only has one vote in the house of reps, just like any other minister. Certainly, we have no single position in government that can exercise powers as far reaching as a president.

We’ve never been above them in the history of the country. 18th and 19th century politics wasn’t at all some huge debate of relevant issues of the day.

In particular, look at the 1800 presidential campaign. Federalists (think John Adams) said that the Democratic-Republicans (think Jefferson) were “radicals who would murder their opponents, burn churches, and destroy the country.” They fought back with accusations of their own, of course, but none of them quite that inflammatory.

So, yeah. It’s *always* been about identity politics. Don’t fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

Oh boo hoo. They let her get away with her crap for so long; now they tell her ahead of time they’re going to ask her why Palin is qualified, so have an answer ready, and when they ask her, all she can do is screech “Tell me why Barak is qualified!” Please, she deserves her criticism: she’s all partisan, no thought.

If that’s a genuine photo, I think it’s good, especially know when we see Obama going for a more Republican-ish (for wich the stereotype is a rich old fat, and most important for your lol, white man), negative campaign. Frontpage worthy if you ask me.

I agree, Obama is ‘taking the bait’ and also going for identity politics instead of the issues, in wich he excells. If he really wants to promote change, going negative is a VERY bad choice.
I wonder how long it will take before we’re over identity politics.

It really is! I think after about two, three days, you can predict both of them to perfection, and then it’s sort of like a video game, almost. You expect a Palin-can-see-Russia joke, or a McCain-has-teh-old joke, but if you get a Palin-is-anti-feminist joke, you lose a mental point, because you didn’t see it coming. In the comments, you’re going to see someone say, “Yeah, yeah, _____, get some new material, be original,” but you get bonus points of you predict their sentence word-for-word!

Lol. Of course, I don’t ACTUALLY put that much into it, but you get my point.

What about it leaned in either direction? I don’t know where the logic is in these kinds of statements. Because I find something one side does funny, I MUST be affiliated with the other side? If I don’t like a pair of pants, I ONLY wear skirts? Grow up.

Considering there is no denying the fact that McCain is old, and that the elderly(along with just about everyone I know) love naps, its not a fail.
Knowing the definition of what makes a fail… fail.

He’s referencing an ad that pops up on this site randomly if you’re so unlucky as to NOT be using firefox. I didnt see the shirt myself but it depicted Palin and McCain in “compromising” positions with the subtitle “Drill Baby! Drill!”
Said shirt and ad sparked a whole new level of “OMG Stay class democraps!”
Twas a silly time on Pundit Kitchen then.

Actually that is about the most objective observation of this website Ive ever read.
The statement clearly points out what either side does, and doesnt state whether one or the other is right, or taking the “moral high ground”. But of course as we all know, if you’re not a republican you’re a democrat, and if you’re not a democrat…. you’re a republican. My my… the choices we have here in the land of the free.
