Righty shit-stains know that they're sunk when they send out Ballots with 'Barack Osama' written on them:

TROY Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's last name is spelled "Osama" on hundreds of absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County.

The misspelling, which elections officials on both sides of the aisle insist was simply a typo, is causing embarrassment for the county.

''No question this is an honest mistake innocently done,'' said Edward McDonough, the Democratic commissioner. ''We catch almost everything.''

''This was a typo,'' said Republican Commissioner Larry Bugbee. ''We have three different staff members who proof these things and somehow the typo got by us.''

COMMENT ON THIS STORY HERE

Officials say the flawed ballots were sent to approximately 300 voters. On row 1A Barack Obama's name is spelled Barack Osama.

Is it a Freudian slip, intentional act or a mistake? Voters are sure to have opinions, and one pol pointed out that the letters 's' and 'b' are not exactly keyboard neighbors.

That's what they get for using MS spell check.

Hopefully he has a strong hide like his Father, because all the wacks from the Far Right will soon be after him like they went after MS. Parker....The last thing the Right Wing Republicans want is a thinking person among them, these one tooth BASTARDS just cannot think for themselves.......LIBERALISM LIVES!!!!!!!!

There was a time this year when I thought that if the Democrats lost, John McCain would at least be a competent president capable of putting principle ahead of party.

With his reckless proposals and erratic decisions and the Palin farce, I'm losing even the last glimmer of hope that a McCain presidency wouldn't be a Bush-level disaster. I can see why some conservatives are deserting ship.

I hear ya.

I was for McCain in 2000 because I thought he was someone who would really do what he felt was right for ALL Americans, not just his 'base', but his recent incitement of hate and his erratic flip flopping and clear lack of understanding have made him a non-option in my opinion.

Dad must be turning over in his grave!

Spud remembers that opining.

The theory was if it came down to McCain v. Obama in '08 it was gonna be a win/win cos both of them were saner and more moderate than Bush by a large stretch.

But to see the way he's sold out his former principles in order to become an apparatchuk of the BushCo wing of the GOPher party is just plain sad.

From 9% Maverick to 100% BushCo meatpuppet.

** deep sigh **

Also, the cynical and dangerous move of installing Sarah as veep in order to pander to the religulous right who've never been John's biggest fans showed all too clearly how John has put politics first, party second, and the country dead last.

Sweet!

Be Well.

Just because someone is a republican doesn't mean they are a neo-con. I'll bet if WFBuckley was alive still, he would have a thing or two to say about what is now trying to pass as conservative.

Where is the usual rightie response, "Oh well, it's only..."? herm

Yes, children can go wrong. Some become serial killers much to the anguish of their parents who raised them well, and there are some that go completely whacky and cause greater embarassment, display their illness publicly by declaring they intend to vote for Obama.

Another energy source would be William Buckley, who is turning in his grave. Where did he go wrong? Maybe it's just atributable to a genetic mishap.

No tighty righty response on this - they are too busy taking in the DAVID BROOKS article about PALIN!

Since when is it news that someone has different political views than their parents? I don't vote like either of my parents. What percentage of people do?

True enough. Then again, maybe your folks hold a similar opinion about you ;-).

I doubt very seriously if William F. Buckley would have voted for the McCain ticket with Sarah Palin on it. He was a conservative but he was also intelligent.

Boy, all these closet liberals...Brooks, Krauthammer, George Will..Who would have thunk it?
Or is it that the conservatives who actually still have a functioning brain cell have realised that McCain and Palin are unfit to lead this country. One because he is an erratic "shoot from the hip" reactionary and the other because she is an unsducated, ignorant moron.

I posted this two days ago on the Brooks thread. Seems another closet liberal has been outed.

When it's Christopher Buckley, a well-known right winger in his own right who contributes to the National Review. If he's ever voted for a Democrat before, I haven't heard of it.

Agreed.

Of all the things to check for on the ballot, the candidates names should be top priority.

So Dems in New York are in on this too huh?

I'll bet it's racism, right...

Don't worry about your allowance, Christopher--it's headed to Washington, in about three months. Which is good. You'll be able to put your money (or your dear old mum's and pup's, as it were) where your mouth is.

Blueinbushland-

Perhaps your family takes politics so seriously that ones voting habits dictate the thanksgiving discussion. Thankfully I don't have that problem.

Frank2.5,
Was Kennedy cowed or are you a dumbass?

"Thankfully I(Joe) don't have that problem"

(puts nose way up in air. Sniffs haughtily.)

There are a host of conservatives voting for Barack Obama.

They know John McCain, with his temper, isn't fit to be president

"I am ... making this announcement in the ... pages of The Daily Beast ... rather than in the pages of National Review, where I write the back-page column. For a reason: My colleague ... Kathleen Parker, recently wrote in National Review Online ... "the bleeding obvious": namely, that Sarah Palin is an embarrassment ... she[Parker] has to date received 12,000 (quite literally) foam-at-the-mouth hate-emails. One correspondent ... suggested that Kathleen's mother should have aborted her and tossed the fetus into a Dumpster."

The GOP can afford to have the lunatic Right acting like sharks at a feeding frenzy for this one election only. It can act as the prelude to the cleansing they so badly need after the Bush/Rove years. They'd better get their act together come November 5th PDQ or instead of Rovian crackpipe dreams about a permanent Republican majority, the reality will be a long-term Republican minority or extinction. PDQ in political terms can take two or three presidential elections. Ask the Democrats.

Ah yes, the Obama comapign buoyed up by the ignorance of youth, inexperienced and indoctrinated, without time for life-experience to test the models they were fed by academics and deciding they are grievously flawed, so hence becoming rational and conservative.

That's rich coming from a supporter of a candidate whose 'cunt/trollop' wife (the candidates words...not mine) takes her private Jet on shopping trips.

It says in the article this is the first time in his life he has voted for a Democrat.

It's in the second to last sentence.

This is a big deal. Sorry, Republicans.

"... President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren't going to get us out of this pit we've dug for ourselves. If he raises taxes and throws up tariff walls and opens the coffers of the DNC to bribe-money from the special interest groups against whom he has (somewhat disingenuously) railed during the campaign trail, then he will almost certainly reap a whirlwind that will make Katrina look like a balmy summer zephyr."

This is the "Audacity of Hope"... hope that Obama "doesn't really mean what he says"... he's the pied piper leading us down the road to oblivion... yeh baby!

After 8 years with Bush at the wheel, we're already pretty far along the road to oblivion. It's just a question of how well Obama can make a U-Turn with this big ol' Winnebago we call the U.S.

Former Michigan Governor, Millikin (R) came out for Obama today. Said he 'didn't recognize' John McCain anymore.

You keep telling yourself that.

Aas for you other post telling me to "get a life, it's the weekend"....I see you're still posting here.

What, you don't take your own advice?

it is starting to look like the best and smartest thing Bushling ever did for the country was to kick McSame's ass off the ticket in 2000... it was all down hill after that.

Who cares that William F. Buckley's son is voting for Obama? I wouldn't care if he voted for Mickey Mouse! I used to like to watch William F. Buckley debate Gore Vidal. Those two guys were a couple of real word smiths.

Finally, the Veggie Brain speaks.

Take a clue Celery: This is only mildly interesting because the guy has the same name as one of the great CONSERVATIVES of the 20th Century.

So it means nothing, except for losers like you so desperate to find someone -- anyone -- with a Conservative connection who votes for Osama.

Hell, I'd probably vote for Osama even though I know he's a dreadful choice.

There is just something very pathetic about Vern's post.

A grown man who imagines himself witty and clever if he misspells Obama's name.

Oh, and Vern, it's not that tough to find Reps moving over to Obama.

this is more bullshit

like the hagel women vote or iks's kid

what youngster hasnt rebelled against his old man before.........

VERNON.... To many young men have died for your right to vote, so don't ever vote for someone you don't believe in. If you truly believe that Senator Obama is a bad choice you in all good conscience cannot an should not vote for him, leave that up to US who truly believe in him an what he may represent for not only this Country but for the whole World.....PRESIDENT OBAMA GET USED TO IT!!!.

And when even racism no longer works, the righties fall back on the candidate's NAME, f'chrissake. Middle and last. What if McCain's middle name had been Adolf? herm

Typical bullshit from Vern. For high level conservatives how about George Will, Krauthammer, Brooks, Parker and a slew of Republican congressmen and governors. As a matter of fact please name one righty drudgie, besides the incredibly inane (FWT,Takeitez, monstman,FreddyK Eddie,etc) who will admit they will be voting for McCain.

People you all nee to wake up. the plan for America is the exact same on the right and the left. ITS A RIGGED GAME.

Republican Commissioner you say, and probably all three proof-readers are right wing skin heads too. Bull-shit was done innocently, was meant to embarress Obama and reduce Obama votes.

"the plan for America is the exact same on the right and the left. "

Not quite truth, Truth. The plan from the left LOOKS better on paper. It may not come out that way. The corporate hit squads will surely keep President O'Bama from any major changes in the system, but things will be slightly better for the 95 percent than they would be under Bush-McBush. herm
