Good grief - and you guys want 4 more years of this?

Well, we can probably look forward to him creatively upgrading the terror threat color codes to off-white, beige, tan, and khaki.

yea cause they don't want to kill americans for their original reasons anymore

White Reporter: Do you have concerns that anti-American militants in Iraq might ratchet up their activities in Iraq to try to increase casualties in September or October and tip the November election.

Hussien Obama: I HOPE not.

Why, did the press finally out him for being too close to a racist and anti-semetic Pastor that preached hate?

No, that McCain and Hagee (and its anti-Catholic. Try to keep up!)

If only Mitt was a black Morman...we'd be kicking ass.

YEAH!

We knew it! It's Gods Fault! It had nothing to do with his creepy appearance and moronic positions!

Sincerely

The Not So Personally Reasonable after all "right"


Serious question: Does anybody actually believe that a terrorist attack on US soil shortly before the November election would HELP the Democratic candidate for POTUS, whoever that may be?

when will mccain flip flop for something good

he doesn't have many years left!

"Serious question: Does anybody actually believe that a terrorist attack on US soil shortly before the November election would HELP the Democratic candidate for POTUS, whoever that may be"

If the terrorists blew up Rush Limbaugh perhaps it could.

I'd a-thunk that some kind of attack would be good for the McBush campaign, indeed would be worth arranging if only they can find some hint that Al Qaeda really exists. Unfortunately there's no one left over there to crash an airliner into a building.

And say, is 101Chair available as the McBush runningmate? herm

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,

here I am stuck in the middle with you

I am going to be humming this song when I vote in presidential election come November.
I can tell right now that I will be voting for some third party candidate. Maybe I will vote Nader.

My advice: drink many beers and vote Unabomber

I'd have to say it depends on who the candidate is. Any attack on american soil would (in my opinion) send Americans back in to "attack mode", and they'd go with the candidate that would be the most aggressive.

If the Dem candidate were to be Hillary I'd say it helps the Dems a little(because she's seen as more of a hawk, and she could more legitimately play the "Republicans have failed to address the threat" card).

If it's Obama, forget it, he's not going to bomb his fellow muslims.

Before you vote Nader, remember that American elections are not about voting FOR someone but voting against someone. Take a look at the McBush-101 ticket, hold your nose go-Bama. herm

"Fear not for the future, weep not for the past."

Also, anpother favorite from Shelley:

"As it is, all of us who are worth anything, spend our manhood in unlearning the follies and expiating the mistakes of our youth."

and my own:

The fearful laugh at the fearless at sun-up. the fearless laugh at the fearful at sundown.

Chairborne: I think I pretty much agree with your analysis about the political impact of an attack on US soil. Given that it 'appears' that Obama will get the Democratic nomination, I wonder why McCain would publicly opine that Al Qaeda might attack to hurt his (Mcains) campaign.

I have not seen anyone so thoroughly infected with the Chairborne flu quite like Hermaphrodite since that tool Itsy.

Seek help old man. You don't have many days left, don't spend the ones you have thinking about some anonymous guy from the internet.

The best thing that ever happened to binLaden was Bush. McCain is trying to follow in Bush's footsteps.

This declaration makes as much sense as any of BushCo's bullshit.

Of course not. He'll have already used up most of our bombs and missiles on Israel, and the rest on Whitey.

"Seek help old man. You don't have many days left"

talking bout mccain i see :)

McCain: Terrorists might attack to defeat me"?

Seriously? Wow, he's losing his marbles at a prodigious rate, aint he?

Bush was the 20th hijacker on September 11th.

He allowed it to happen. He sat back and prevented the people who might have prevented it from doing their jobs cos he was hoping and praying for a "pearl harbour type event".

He got one.

He FAILed on that day but the American people showed their fierce loyalty to their country and rallied around behind him on that fateful day and subsequently.

Nobody really knew how Bush was invested in allowing the attack to occur back in those days.

Too many still don't understand.

Sooo... Here's the dealio Johnny boy...

The reason there hasn't been another attack since that day has to do with the fact that after 9/11 Bush allowed people to do their jobs again and America became a much harder target.

The other reason has to do with the fact that the AQ aren't really that big of a problem to begin with. BushCo has over-stated the size of the problem in order to keep the MIC in funding. After the fall of the Soviet Union, people began asking why America was continuing to spend such insane amounts of money annually on the MIC. People were right to request a peace dividend at that time and it certainly helped Clinton balance the books or at least project a surplus.

Now after 60 years of using the Soviets as an excuse fer pepetual war, the terrorists are the new answer to the question why do we spend so much on the MIC.

And if the powers-that-be have their way, it will continue to be the rationale for the next sixty years.

Do Not Want.

If the terrorists manage another attack before November it will merely be more proof that BushCo is a miserable failure.

Not that we really need more proof, just sayin'.

Be Well.

Of course not. He'll have already used up most of our bombs and missiles on Israel, and the rest on Whitey

Fuckin A.

Mod,
I'd like to see the actual question asked by the reporter at the town hall meeting.
I can't explain what possible benefit McCain could see in answering the way he did.

I'm making a stretch here, but perhaps he's bringing that up to remind people that the election is about more than the race sniping and personal battles of Obama and Hillary? As I said though, I don't get any of that "pre-election" attack talk by either side.

yea 101 its about lying to the people about why we are at war and why we should stay!

McCain is a tool and Democrats are Socialists. I'm still voting for Mitt in my upcoming primary.

Before you vote Nader, remember that American elections are not about voting FOR someone but voting against someone.

That's WHY I would vote Nader.



Cheers

No, that McCain and Hagee (and its anti-Catholic. Try to keep up!)

Sorry, Montecore, it's Obama too. His pastor of 20 years is closely affiliated with Louis Farrakhan who is an outspoken anti-semite and racist. I think you weren't keeping up.

Question:...is there a law against voting drunk in the US?

McCain is once again playing the FEAR factor, everyone just everyone with any brains knows that any attack at this point will assist McCain. This is wishful thinking on the Repubs part they are praying for an Attack, just as long as it assist them they don't give a damn who get hurt.

"is there a law against voting drunk in the US?"

Well if there is, I've broken it a few times...

It looks like McCain has the pants-pissing coward vote all locked up.

This may shed some light on how upside down that statement of McCain's probably is.

"Mohamed Sifaoui was born on July 4, 1967, and spent most of his childhood in Algeria. He holds a master's degree in political science and studied theology for two years at the University of Algiers and for two additional years at Zeitouna University's Institute of Theology in Tunis. In 1994, he began work for the Algerian daily Le Soir and survived a February 11, 1996 bomb attack at Le Soir's headquarters at the Maison de la Presse. In 1999, the French government granted him political asylum after he received death threats both from Algerian Islamists and the military. In Paris, Sifaoui works at the French weekly Marianne. Between October 2002 and January 2003, he infiltrated an Al-Qaeda cell in France in order to research his book, Mes frres assassins: Comment j'ai infiltr une cellule d'Al-Qada. (My assassin brothers: How I infiltrated an Al-Qaeda cell).[1]

Sophie Fernandez Debellemanire, a former intern at Le Figaro and The Weekly Standard, interviewed Sifaoui in Paris on September 12, 2007, after meeting him at a 9-11 ceremony on the Champ de Mars.

Sifaoui: Between October 2002 and January 2003, I spent four months infiltrating an Al-Qaeda terrorist cell in France. Two months before the launching of the Iraq war, when I was in the midst of the group, one of the Islamists said, "Now we are going to pray for George Bush to attack Iraq." I was surprised and acted as if I were stupid: "Really? Why do you want America to kill our brothers?" The most clever and elevated in Al-Qaeda's hierarchy, Amara Safi [the GSPC's emir in London] whispered to me, "All over the world, our brothers are now praying for George Bush to attack Iraq. War between the Muslim world and the Western world is bound to happen. Unfortunately, Muslims are too divided. Far too many of them do not pray regularly and neglect religion and jihad. In order to unify and mobilize all these people, we have to continue what we initiated on 9-11. We attacked America to make her retort everywhere in the Muslim world, in order to create a real war between Muslims and the West, and especially Israel."

thats very inciteful
and is precisely the reason we SHOULDN'T vote for mccain

he's just playing into the terrorists goals

keeping us at war, slowly thinning our power, and making the extremist movement more and more powerful with new recruits everyday from the desperate war victims.

end the war...
allow the moderate muslims and people like this man you mentioned to bring a unity of peace...

just like the president of Indonesia said this week.
jihad means struggle
we need a jihad for peace
a struggle for peace

Why, did the press finally out him for being too close to a racist and anti-semetic Pastor that preached hate?

Obama hangs with Rev Nagy?

Oh wait, that's the man backing McCain, the man McCain said was VERY spiritual....the smae Rev Nagy who said he was hoping for a Nuclear War with Iran.

I wonder how many civilians the republicans will deem 'necessary casualties' when planning the attack in order to keep the WH?

"is there a law against voting drunk in the US?"

Well if there is, I've broken it a few times...


I don't know about your state, but in mine, there are severe penalties for teenage drunk voting.

Losing drunk teenage voters to those telephone polls was bad enough, but the day after the election, we just got tired of reading the headlines and crying why in shocking disbelief and horror! The whole community would feel the painful and terrible results of senseless teenage drunk voting.

Sure, we remember our own wild, and reckless fun filled days--downing quarts of Watneys Red Barrel or bottles of Boone's Farm Apple Wine, stumbling to the polls, puking on the lever and then voting for Pat Paulsen. Sure it was all fun, a teenage rite of passage, but at what cost? At what terrible cost? (Have you actully looked at Congress?)

Friends don't let friends vote drunk. I hope your community has a chapter of MADV.

Cheers (hic.)

If only Mitt was a black Morman...we'd be kicking ass.

Too funny. The conservative white man's worst nightmare...a president who's name is not of anglo-saxon origin, is not white, and represents progress.

No wonder you guys are blubbering like the little bitches you really are. Hunker down, if you wait long enough, maybe 2012 or 14, you can put another one of yours in the WH: a dumb dribbling waste of skin, just like the last one you elected.

Al Qaeda has been an absolute Godsend to the authoritarian state fascists that want to rule America through fear. I believe a lot of the policies--like promoting torture when ourr legal system abandoned it 300 years ago--is simply designed to be inflammatory and keep simple-minded religious fanatics in Muslim countries attacking us, so we have an excuse to turn ourselves into a Warfare State and remove all Constitutional rights from the citizenry.

Credit where credit is due. Every now and then he will exert himself and construct coherent arguments with which I may not agree, but which are nonetheless coherent and tastefully punctuated. At those times, I could almost believe he likes classical music and maybe even red wine. At other times, he beats his chest like a bully, and probably tells fart jokes while wiping beer foam from his mouth with his forearm.

In either case, he certainly contributes to the discussions on these threads, and I always look forward to his responses, even when he is trying to get me to look up at the sky so he can pee on my leg.

Anybody know where to score some grass?

"In either case, he certainly contributes to the discussions on these threads, and I always look forward to his responses, even when he is trying to get me to look up at the sky so he can pee on my leg."

FF, Midi, as they say in some DR circles. Somehow I cannot picture the red wine and symphonies. I would think that his idea of music is the sound of flattening beer can against his forehead. As a charter member of "whimps, pussies and traitors," I hold him up as my shining example of our deity's ability to make a mistake. Along with platypuses, I guess. herm

Be Well.

so in other words if you support the democrats you are wishing for an attack on the US

brilliant actually

bullshit but brilliant

Spud - glad to know its not just me. So can anyone explain to me how being tortured ends up with him having "walnut" cheeks? Inquiring minds want to know.

You faggot turbin-wearing druggies are going to rue the day you mocked our next President and protector.

If it wasn't for Bush and Cheney, America would have been Nuked at least 20 times, and most of you druggies would sit and laugh about it while your skin was falling off.

You spoiled pussies have no idea how lucky you have been.

If McCain isn't elected, most of us will either be dead or wearing Turbins!

Keep mocking Bill, you will be the first person to defend your turf from these ragheads, right?

You and Klifford should hook up and fuck.

Evil Doers trying hard to Sabotage Mr.America!

Don't forget to mention Sen.McCain that the "Evil doers" out there might "Brainwash" a majority of the American public not to vote for you! If this happens John you should naturally then just be granted the U.S.Presidency - right?

Hey Bill,

....NOPE

ANTICADILLAC,

Do you really believe like a total moron that these "Evil Doers" aren't planning on coming to your city and slashing your throat while they put a burqa on your daughter while they fuck her from the rear?

....Because they are and they will if you don't vote for McCain.

YOUVE BEEN WARNED!

"...NOPE"

Sure.

Positive

It must be time for McCains meds. He appears to be delusional.

Some people who have met McCain think he has Alzheimer's.

"Well ... I'm glad to hear it. You are the General?" And I said, a little sarcastically, "Why no, Senator, not quite yet." And he looked at me like I was a sheep or something, smiling s silly smile. "Oh" he said to the table, "Let's hope it gets a little cooler here. Have you been here long?" My friend said, "Too long Senator." "Why that's good, General," the Senator replied to the ceiling. Then his lips moved but he said nothing. He looked up and smiled. My wife's grandfather did just that. And the Senator may have been sitting right near us but believe me, he was somewhere else. Then he began a conversation with someone who wasn't there and my friend took my arm and said, "I think we should get the hell out of here," and we started to go back the way we came when some civilian came in. "It's time to go to the meeting, John," but McCain just smiled and kept on talking to the table. The civilian said, "All right, gentlemen, time to go. The Senator is very tired and has jet lag." And when we left, the Senator was talking complete nonsense. Later, one of the staff personnel told both of us that the Senator had "a little accident" and he had to change his pants. Jesus H. Christ! This nut is going to be a President? My friend, who is a pro, said he was very obviously suffering from pre-Alzheimer's and believe me, although I am not trained, this one was a pure space case. They must know this. I guess they give him a shot of something before he gets out in public but if you saw him with a vacant stare, talking to himself, you would not have to be a professional shrink to know that putting this pathetic man into the Oval Office would be a worse mistake than putting Bush in. At least as far as we know, Bush doesn't talk to the walls and wet himself."

Another witness to McCain's shaking.

A few months back, I noticed that McCain was displaying involuntary motor activity where his left hand was uncontrollably shaking while giving a speech behind a podium. Usually, as it was explained to me, this is indicative of a breakdown taking place within the person's central nervous system, that is exhibiting the aforementioned symptoms.

Source or link for this Ray is ?

Great news Ray/snark>

The current POTUS has pre-senile dementia due to his decades of cocaine and alcohol abuse and now it turns out that the 71 year old John McCain is a pre-ALS case?

Hillary suffers from Delusions of grandeur and a messiah complex so that only leave Obama as America's last, best chance to return to sanity.

It's only chance, really.

08ama.

Be Well.

If al Qaeda goes crazy and starts a mad killing spree and Obama wins the election isn't that good for America?

As long as Obama wins that is all I care about.

Fuck John McCain. You lost whatever nuts you had in Hanoi.

That Black Mormon comment was Comedy Gold!

WTH?

Where did I put that al Qaeda toll free number?
It's got to be around here somewhere. I'll be
right back. Got it. I thought Laura Bush still
had it on speed dial. Excuse me, I need to make a
call.

Well, Cheney IS visiting saudialquedia-he'll see what he can arrange, though I expect he's more interested in negotiaiting more oil pumping for an attack on Iran. Republicans have a long history of trading American blood for saudi comfort.

We surely have a history of presidents with Alzheimer's - or pre-Alzheimer's. When I spent an hour with Ronald Reagan in 1958, six years before he was guv of California, I was convinced the man was senile. herm

If the terrorists blew up Rush Limbaugh perhaps it could.


That would take a LOT of explosives.

Is McLame fooling anyone? I mean really fooling anyone other than the right wing loons that will beleive this fear talk?

McLame is praying for an attack to scare all the sheeple into voting for him.

Look for ever increasing fictitious terrawr alerts in the run up to the election. They did it in 04 and will do it again. Nothing as fine as gaming a warning system to achieve political power.

You righties must be sooooo proud.

Hussein 726

Well, Cheney IS visiting saudialquedia

I hope he brought plenty of Astro Glide.

Top Ranking CIA Operatives Admit Al-qaeda Is a Complete Fabrication
BBC's killer documentary called "The Power of Nightmares". Top CIA officials openly admit, Al-qaeda is a total and complete fabrication, never having existed at any time. The Bush administration needed a reason that complied with the Laws so they could go after "the bad guy of their choice" namely laws that had been set in place to protect us from mobs and "criminal organizations" such as the Mafia. They paid Jamal al Fadl, hundreds of thousands of dollars to back the U.S. Government's story of Al-qaeda, a "group" or criminal organization they could "legally" go after. This video documentary is off the hook ...

FOX NEWS Interview with Ian Blair (LINK):Blair said, "Al Qaeda is not an organization. Al Qaeda is a way of working ... but this has the hallmark of that approach."

Still no connection between Saddam and Al-qaeda - March 2008 (Link)

who? McCain's buddies?:>)LOL

"When I spent an hour with Ronald Reagan in 1958, six years before he was guv of California, I was convinced the man was senile"

California's governor election is off-year. It would have been 8 years, since Reagan won in '66.
Who's senile now?

McCain?

What an egomaniac! And that's why I don't like politicians. Everything orbits around them...as they look for ways to screw us. Like I said on a different story, when I get fucked, I prefer doggy.

Bin Laden's spiritual mentor Abdullah Azzam,... wrote of al Qaeda al Sulbah, meaning the 'solid base', in 1988

World Islamic Front for the Struggle Against Jews and Crusaders

I say johnny cake ,you say corn bread, southerners call it spoon bread.

I'll be interested in seeing him do a live address between 5:30 and 8:00 in the evening. There's a common phenomena in Alz. and related dementia disorders called "sundowning", where someone that seems coherent during the rest of the day declines sharply around dinnertime, then rallies again later in the evening.

Good thing those red phone calls only come at 3:00am. He'll probably be OK around then.

Note to Democrats: Schedule debates at 6:00 pm.

I know this is probably a really crazy statement--but those were not McCain's words...

"he fears that al Qaeda or another extremist group might attempt spectacular attacks in Iraq to try to tilt the U.S. election against him."

That was the question from the person at the TH meeting.

He could have corrected him, but McCain was answering the question in general for an attack by AQ.

Murphy

No McCain!

It will be the common sense of the American People!
