This is just too much fun...they know that they've lost, and they're already pointing fingers. It's the beginning of the great unraveling.

5. Not based on Faux News, please....these cretins will be coming back
...at the first smell of fresh blood.

No, this slime mold is flowing back into the dark corners to regenerate their venom and their negative energy.

22. Did hell freeze over yet?
Well... bear in mind, it's Faux Noise Sunday, as the caption says that in the lower left.

Maybe this is the "balanced" BS that they talk about. Put material on the air with the highest chance of no one watching it. :eyes: Their 'patriotic' hate speech will continue tomorrow.

3. According to some stories I read last week
Kristol was instrumental in getting McCain to accept Palin. I think Kristol, more than any other neo-con with the exception of Bush, defines the anti-Midas touch.

28. William Kristol: Sarah Palin is changing the game
William Kristol: Sarah Palin is changing the game
With a bold choice for vice president, John McCain has given himself a fighting chance to win the election

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Thursday night, after Barack Obama's well-orchestrated, well-conceived and well-delivered acceptance speech in Denver, Republicans were demoralized. Twenty-four hours later, they were energized -- even exuberant. It's amazing what a bold vice-presidential pick who gives a sterling performance when she's introduced will do for a party's spirits.

There are Republicans who are unhappy about John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin. Many are insiders who highly value -- who overly value -- "experience." There are also sensible strategists who nervously note just how big a gamble McCain has taken.

But what was McCain's alternative? To go quietly down to defeat, accepting a role as a bit player in The Barack Obama Story? McCain had to shake up the race, and once he was persuaded not to pick Joe Lieberman, which would have been one kind of gamble, he went all in with Sarah Palin.

Some media mandarins were upset. One reporter noted that -- horrors! -- Palin had never even appeared on "Meet the Press." Time's Joe Klein remarked disapprovingly that McCain didn't know Palin well and had never worked with her. He noted by contrast "that when Walter Mondale picked Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, House Speaker Tip O'Neill, who had worked with Ferraro, was not only vouching for her, but raving about her."

4. the American Tapeworm
tapeworms are parasites that feed off what the host works hard for, prepares with hard won skill and then consumes at home, at peace. Men like kristol knew the USA, indeed all western culture, was torn between the instinct to survive, and the moral need to survive with honour, and they exploited it to empower that faction of society that insisted only a tapeworm mentality could defeat enemies the tapeworm itself conjured up in the news media (a terrorist org, in general)...instead of colonies on the moon and bases on Mars, and poverty banished forever along with big lies, we have a economic meltdown caused by making debt into 'assets' which have then poisoned the entire financial well; with the thiefs foreknowlege that humanity 'has no choice but to get on with it'... kristol is a criminal. period

9. Quite funny. I can take about 10 minutes of Faux in one sitting.
One word of caution if Kristol is saying they are failing they might be doing better than expected. Kristol gets nothing right. The stupid and pathetic qualities Kristol should easily recognize in others, he has only to look at himself.

16. Not to mention Kristol's championing Palin as VP in the first place, which is BIG part
of why McCain's Hate Talk Express is in the ditch.

17. He's got it half right, anyway.
The ads and personal attacks are stupid and pathetic, and they're also vile and racist. He's also wrong when he says McCain and Palin should be on Faux Nooze, "making their case." They obviously need to stop preaching to their pinheaded choir and do some REAL interviews with REAL journalists, in which they offer REAL answers to tough questions. But this is evidently what passes for "reason" on Faux Nooze.

23. For once, I half agree with Bill Kristol
The McCain campaign is "stupid, pathetic and failing." It is also racist, divisive and disgraceful.

29. SOMEBODY'S GOT THEIR NUTS IN A VICE
I agree that they will jump back to their old ways at the first sight of fresh blood but something's got them stuck. I think they are biding their time for some kind of October surprise. Even McCain turned around over night and got all creepy smiley again. I hope to God Obama is being protected by secret service 24/7. Something is up.

36. Political insiders know demographics
For all the "anything can happen in 24 days" bit, it's really not a "political truism." It's a political fallacy. McCain got a normal convention bump that maybe extended a day or two longer than usual because of the Palin novelty act. It faded, as they always do. With the exception of that 10 days, McCain has been behind the entire election season. It doesn't "change in 24 days.' It never does. They look at counties where Mccain should be getting 65%, and he's polling at 56%. That's over. Over. These aren't unstable systems. They are almost always slow as molasses in their transformations. Mccain/Palin made their big push this week and it failed miserably. Miserably.

Stay out there and fighting. But...

34. Hate to be the party pooper
:P But I remember being so elated before the 2000 election so sure that the Republicans looked like such pathetic cartoons, especially after that Democratic convention and the poor performance of * in the presidential debates....I was SO SURE we had it in the bag. I got the same feeling before each subsequent election, I was sure we won, based on such obvious discrepancies...and the GOP got in despite everything.
I will not let down my guard until after the election. This is the party that enabled trillions of our dollars to be stolen, and I just cannot fall for their feigned weakness again.
Somehow I think they must be planning something, the last 8 years has totally twisted my brain, now I have trust issues....:tinfoilhat:
Don't mind me...party on!!!!!
