DMN endorses McCain - damn that liberal media!

I voted today 'cause I think on election day, the polls will be so crowded with media, lawyers, ACORN-supplied idiots, protesters, and professional do-gooders that their will no place to park for anyone wanting to vote.

Little boxes, manicured lawns, fences just so, the single dart bus that only runs 2-3 times/day, nothing but churches and schools within walking distance...
I've been to schools in your area, Robert...you sure you don't live in the (rather blue) suburbs?

The Dallas Pravda News will never endorse for President anyone who couldn't be a member of the Dallas Country Club.

Speaking of childishness. The kids got to play out front
while the adults ate and drank at the neighborhood
Democrat pot luck yesterday. We assumed they were oblivious to the event, until, my boys 8 and 6, informed us that they were gonna vote for Obama. When asked why, the rock stars made up a cheer on the spot. They sang:

" Obama Rules, McCain Drools,
Obama Rules, McCain Drools.."

I voted at the Valley Ranch Library, near my job. No lines - quick and easy - everyone was really nice. Now I'm clear to ignore absolutely all this tripe, and it feels so good.

Just voted at Fretz Park Rec Center. 15 minute wait, no problem.

Very nice people there as well.

I am glad to see that the Dallas Whoring News is in lock step with Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, KKK, Larry Craig, Pat Robertson, Sean (Nathan Lane stand in) Hannity, and the most fucked up liar on the planet earth...
Joe the Cocksucking Plumber Plant!

Anyone that would put this country in the hands of Sarah and Todd Palin is clearly only seeing the issues threw the eyes of a bigot.

You are the reason people should take an IQ test before they vote.

Two consolation prizes for conservatives if Obama wins:

1. We'll be finally be delivered from the constant self-righteous whining about how anyone who doesn't support Obama is by definition a racist / bigot / idiot / hick / Bible-thumping Nazi / inbred Klan member, blah blah blah.

2. Liberals will no longer be able to claim that everything that's wrong with the universe is George Bush's fault. Some of them are going to have trouble making that transition.

Seriously, what is someone like Keith Olbermann going to do for a living if Obama wins? Go back to doing sports coverage?

>Seriously, what is someone like Keith Olbermann going to do for a living if Obama wins? Go back to doing sports coverage?

What have Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh been doing the last eight years?

I mean, other than lying their fat asses off every day...

The thing is, most so-called conservative politicians, including Bush, have either been asleep or acting like closet liberals for years now. Defending illegal immigration, spending money like Democrats, selling weapons systems to China, etc. And Democrats have had control of both the House and Senate for the last two years, led by colorful nutjobs like Nancy Pelosi (btw, Pelosi on Charlie Rose last week -- what is she on?) and Barney Frank. So conservative commentators have had plenty of material to work with. Whereas if the President is a very liberal Dem, and both houses are controlled by liberal Dems, people like Olbermann aren't going to have much to talk about, unless Republicans actually grow a testicle or two in 2009.

K.O. exists to provide a necessary counterbalance to unapologetic wack jobs like Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage and Limbaugh.

These idiots haven't done anything but ratchet up the fear in their already paranoid voting contingency. Olbermann is brave enough to take these morons head on and call them on their blatantly dishonest right-wing propaganda.

You're right - conservative commentators have had plenty of material to work with; but they've been too busy apologizing for Bush and his litany of mistakes to even notice.

These idiots haven't done anything but ratchet up the fear in their already paranoid voting contingency.

Liberal pundits always make it sound like electing conservatives will result in the US being turned into some sort of theocratic nightmare where gays are rounded up and sent off to camps, minorities are persecuted and freedom of speech and worship are eliminated -- despite the fact that Bush has been in for two terms and nothing like that has happened. So there's plenty of fear-mongering from both sides.

And if you actually listen to Savage, Laura Ingraham, and some others, you'll find that they've been pissed off at the Republicans and Bush for quite some time. Not all conservatives are mouthpieces for the Republican party like Limbaugh and Hannity.

Savage hates everybody but himself. Ingraham and Ann Coulter are just Bill O'Reilly in drag. Limbaugh is a drug addict and hypocrite.

Tell me something, Bacon. Why is it all of these conservative talking heads yammer on and on about the negative influence of the "liberal media" in one breath, and then brag about the success of their own ratings 30 seconds later?

Which is it? Are they the ones with the highest ratings and influence, or are they lying about that, too?

1. We'll be finally be delivered from the constant self-righteous whining about how anyone who doesn't support Obama is by definition a racist / bigot / idiot / hick / Bible-thumping Nazi / inbred Klan member, blah blah blah.

2. Liberals will no longer be able to claim that everything that's wrong with the universe is George Bush's fault.

Damn right!

Wanna bet?

ok, I don't know was I thinking, giving the Dems the benefit of the doubt that they would stop whining and scapegoating. You're probably right. Dems could outnumber Republicans 10 to 1 and the Dems would still be blaming everything on them.

After Obama wins this thing I'm hoping we can all start over with a clean slate.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict he'll appoint a number of Republicans to key positions and we'll start rehabilitating this country together.

If right-wingers can just man the fuck up and drop their pretenses, the United States of America can start living up to its name again.

Why is it all of these conservative talking heads yammer on and on about the negative influence of the "liberal media" in one breath, and then brag about the success of their own ratings 30 seconds later?

That's easy. Some conservatives (e.g. Limbaugh) get great ratings, whereas liberal talk radio has never been able to get off the ground, and TV shows like Olbermann's tend to do so-so. So within the talk show format, conservative hosts do well. But with the exception of Fox, which is somewhere between moderate and conservative, most of the major TV networks (e.g. CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC), nationally read newspapers and magazines (e.g. New York Times, Newsweek), and the entertainment industry are quite liberal.

The other factor is that Limbaugh and O'Reilly are egomaniacal blowhards who love to brag, which makes them both nearly unlistenable / unwatchable. But their obnoxious personalities don't necessarily make their positions on issues any more or less valid than if they were nice guys, although it serves as a convenient target for their opponents.

If left wingers can just drop their pretenses (or fantasies) that electing Obama is going to magically fix the greed, corruption, and short-sightedness that both parties are rotten with, we might have a chance.

Anyone who takes any media personality seriously would have to be deranged. These people are strictly entertainers who will say/do anything for ratings.

BTW, Senator Obama has never reached across the aisle, so I don't see why he would appoint a Republican to any post in his administration (not that it would matter). Both parties are broken and corrupt. There can be no real change until we get term limits on Congress.

I just got back from early voting. You have to wonder how the campaign people standing outside the polling location could possibly be so devoted to any politician. That's pretty sick and now I feel dirty...

like it or not, obama is just as powell described, a "tranformational figure." he may not be able to live up to the hype, but I am willing to put my faith in him. what's the choice? an old man who just might die and leave a nutjob like palin in charge? no thanks!
as far as limbaugh, et. al go. the ratings are high on those shows for the same reason jerry springer is still going and why howard stern would still be hot if he was on regular radio. it's shocking. limbaugh's views don't make him popular. it's the way he imparts information. the undereducated listen and shout, "damn right" at their car radios.
i firmly hope and believe that obama will select many centrist republicans to help him heal the many wounds of this country.
bush has been an unmitigated disaster as a president. he will be blamed for years to come. in some cases, rightly so. in others, unfairly.
you're certainly not a racist for not voting obama, but there are certainly racist who will not vote for him simply because his father is from africa. and that's just sad.
but the race is obama's to lose. and when he is in the white house, limbaugh and the other blowhards will have 8 years to bitch and moan about family values going down the drain, etc.
the big lines at early voting are bad news for mccain and conservatives in general. low turn out has always benefited republicans. around the nation, exit polls have obama up by significant margins, even in red states.
go obama go. so many depend on you. don't let the weight of expectations bring you down. both the bacon boys and liles of this world will be better off with your administration.

low turn out has always benefited republicans.

Yeah, like in 2004 when the Presidential election had the highest turnout in history and Bush won by three million votes.

whoever gets elected will be demonized as responsible for the recession since it won't really take off until the beginning of their term. All the talking heads will be screaming "why didn't he do something earlier? why didn't he see this coming blah blah blah" even though it all got started 2 or 3 years ago.

It's kind of funny actually. Neither candidate's platform will ever come close to fruition since it's going to take 4 years to clean up and get over the various economic crisis that are coming down the pike.

The commercial property sub prime crisis is next followed closely or maybe even preceded by the auto loan sub prime crisis, then the credit card default crisis, then the unemployment crisis. The whole world is deleveraging and it will take 4 years easy for the global economy to unwind and start progressing healthily again.

btw, whichever candidate puts Powell on their staff gets my vote. Otherwise i may just not vote. Powell has my respect, Mccain and Obama do not.

We'd like to announce that Obama has secured another high profile GOP endorsement.

let me put on my tinfoil hat.

do you think all the GOP endorsements for Obama may be because this next presidential term will be full of economic turmoil (not to beat a dead horse) and likely lead to a win for the opposite party in 2012? In other words, whichever party wins the presidential election has lost in 2012 already. It sounds pretty far fetched but you never know.
