Insufferable candidate doesn’t get that we AREN’T voting for him

To further prove that Obama’s campaign is really in trouble, the Oborg collective purchased 1/2 hr. spots on NBC , CBS , Fox, Univision, BET , MSNBC and TV One.

HARRISONBURG, Va. — Barack Obama will focus on the economy and how his tax plans would help the middle class in a half-hour political infomercial Wednesday night.

The program, scheduled to run on television networks on the 79th anniversary of the stock-market crash of 1929, “will share the specifics of Obama’s plans to turn the economy around and get the country back on track,” campaign spokesman Bill Burton said Tuesday.

“We want to make sure every voter heading into the voting booth knows exactly what Barack Obama would do to bring about fundamental change as president,” he said.

Campaign aides declined Tuesday to answer questions about what images viewers will see when they tune in, whether the format will be live or taped and whether it will feature Obama alone or include additional voices such as business leaders or economic experts.

The program will air at 8 p.m. EDT on NBC , CBS , Fox, Univision, BET , MSNBC and TV One, and at various times in other time zones. Obama is scheduled to be speaking during that time at a rally in Florida .

Message to Bill Burton:  WE ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING we need to know about Obama, and we’re not interested.

This is an act of desperation folks.  Not only does Obama have a Dish TV channel, now he’s going to be on major network and cable channels too, AT THE SAME TIME.  Maybe if the Obama campaign didn’t launch an attack against working class people like Joe the Plumber, maybe “undecided voters” would find his economy message more believable.  Maybe if the Chicago Machine Run DNC didn’t steal votes to win and won his candidacy fair & square, maybe more Democrats would be voting for Obama.  Maybe had Obama denounced the “war on women” his supporters and surrogates wage incessantly, maybe more of us would be willing to listen to what he has to say on Wednesday.

Yet despite the media HAKA, had Obama put this election in the bag as the “polls” say, they wouldn’t be going through all this trouble.    Personally, this scares the living heck out of me.  I plan to not watch it of course, it’s too “Big Brother” for my taste, but what will you do?  Will you watch for comedic purposes, wait till it comes out on Youtube or boycott the Oborg completely?

Here’s a message I’d like to blast out to the Oborg collective:

Leave us PUMAs alone & ¡que viva los PUMAs!

  1. OMG, SM77! I didn’t even have to click the link to know it was Pink Floyd!!! So apropos.

    Great post.

  2. Great post. I won’t be watching. It is too Big Brother for me.

  3. I think I’ll ask the Great Pumpkin for NObama

  4. birdgal: I already posted Big Brother earlier.

  5. do not watch it ! they are sending out mind control waves through the tv–electronic kool aid!!! beware :)

  6. I love a good breakfast crepe- filled with chese shrimp crab and lobster….coverd with more cheese and and asparagas.

    I really think we need that clip gary introduced us to the one with the lady and the “why dont you sit on this….

    but love pink floyd

  7. Okay all obama bots please make the sign of the “O” !

  8. Dakini: How do you think the Great Pumpkin feels about pumpkin pie? Good, bad, grief-stricken?

  9. regency: hmmmm I’d say frightened

  10. I’m a Clint-bot. *makes CC sign* (it’s like the Coco Chanel emblem)

  11. When is this macabre spectacle supposed to happen?

    I’ll be tuning here to read the play by play from those who have the stomach to digest something that putrid.

  12. Has RD planned a live blog. Actually, that would be really funny, but I do not think that there is any way to get us to actually watch.

  13. DK: Can the Great Pumpkin grant wishes as a pie? What if he’s in my intestines–does that interfere with the wish-granting vibes?

  14. dakinikat-I agree with you BB all the way the 1984 clip was wonderful….

    FYI I was told the original 1984 movie stared George C Scott and Ms Orwell was so disappointed in it she purchased the rights to it and it has never been shown It might have even been distroyed….

    does anyone know if this is true? I have never seen it I saw a trailer for it once but never the movie….

  15. Regency: hmmmm, maybe he transfers his great pumpkin powers to you

  16. I bet my life that only members of OFB will watch that 1/2 infomercial. Of course, the msm is part of the OFB so they will rave how it was the Best Infomercial Evah! Luckily, no one is paying any attention to them.

  17. Not going to watch.

  18. I wonder, if there will be subliminal messages in the broadcast? I wouldn’t put it past the BO campaign to do that. Putting my tin foil hat on.

  19. Gary: i wouldn’t put it past them at this point. They’ll have subliminal TeleTubbies zooming in and out of each frame so we can feel safe and numb.

    Birdgal: Scroll down to see Dakini’s great post on Big Brother & this 1/2 hr mega-broadcast proves it.

    Julies: I love Pink Floyd! And yeah, leave us kids alone Oborg!

  20. fuzzy: no idea, maybe if you google it you could find otu

  21. I’m in a foul mood, and the Captain is too.

    I’m watching Primary Colors to remind me of the good times

  22. Wouldn’t watch if you paid me. Maybe if he promised not to run another freaking ad ever, for any reason, under any circumstances, anywhere, I might consider turning to it in another room with the sound muted, then leaving.
    But just maybe.

  23. sm77: I have to run off now, but I will read the Big Brother posting. Thanks.

  24. Dkat: I am the new Great Pumpkin.

  25. myiq — no reason for a foul mood — just think about the mood the kos kidz are in today with the news that Gallop has the race at 2 points. If that doesn’t put a smile on your face, I’ll come over there myself to get the job done.

  26. Seems Billy Ayers called into a radio program to talk to his best bud Baracky.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXbKpPKYu-Q

    Sick.

  27. Dear Great Pumpkin:

    NOBAMA!

    kat

    ps. I have a sincere pumpkin patch!

    The only speech I’m prepared to hear Obama make – “concession”.

  29. I have to blow dry my mom’s hair – it’ll take a few minutes, be back!

  30. You make a good point birdgal – anyone watching should probably wear their tin foil hat on.

    I had looked for 1984 a while back and could only find the trailer – you may be right – it might have been destroyed.

  31. Let’s have a contest to decide how many “uhhhhhhsssss, mmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhsssssssss, etc.” as BO and MO have to explain how the Democrats lost this year.

  32. Will I watch? Hmmm, let’s see.

    If they tied me to a chair and stuck me directly in front of a 7′ screen, and then pinned my eyelids back, I would find a way to NOT watch. For the love of God, make him go away already!

    Does that answer the question?

  33. This is the most bizarre thing I’ve read in a long time.

    I thought myiq was the only one with performance anxiety but lookee here, lookee here:

    Countdown to the Obama Rapture
    Watch as the press corps battles its performance anxiety!

  34. How adorable is Snoopy? Even after all these years, I still love those little guys.

  35. What part of sociopath do people not unnerstand?

  36. OK First and foremost, FUZZY please invite me for breakfast.!!!

    Second .. I am hoping the new GREAT PUMPKIN will visit my litlle but honorable Pumpkin Patch

    ok that didnt sound right but hey it wasnt meant that way LOL

    Third and absolutely vital !!!

    McCain and Sarah need to get the message out thereabout the TV attack
    that Bo will come trick or treating onto their TV sets ,, not asking for candy but for a vote …
    and tell the people not to believe the costume he is wearing; but to be wary of the tricks because they are taxes not treats !!!

  37. I think Charles Schulz was a feminist–his women are all really strong. Sally is reading Linus the riot act right now, and then there’s Lucy and Peppermint Patty.

  38. snoopy looks cute in his ww1 flying ace hat :-)

  39. fif – that would be the scene from Clockwork Orange!

  40. I am in moderation and have no idea why ???

  41. The only speech I’m prepared to hear Obama make – “concession”.

    OMG–that would be a beautiful thing!

  42. This time next week we will be dancing in the streets!

    They are not allowed to call the states before all of the polls close are they???????????

  43. What will Obama do if the Nielsen ratings the next morning are the lowest ever recorded in the history of TV??

  44. The only speech I’m prepared to hear Obama make – “concession”.

    edwardian — it’ll never happen — when BO loses, I expect a call to arms to his Obot followers to contest the results. Unlike Gore who decided to “heal the division” even though he actually won, Obama will have no problem causing more division even though he actually lost.

  45. fif – Call me a traditionalist, but I cannot bare to watch the newly revised and amended “Charlie Brown” episodes, since ABC/Disney acquired the rights from CBS. Vying for new generations I suppose. Because I’m certainly not impressed with these upgraded voiceovers.

    No new episodes, period. If Schultz didn’t greenlight them then why bother?

  46. Obama concession speech – UHHH, errrrrrrrrrrrr, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I don’t believe it. Howard, George what happened here? You’re joking right?

  47. ps. I have a sincere pumpkin patch!

    Is that like a sincere soul patch.

  48. Poor Charlie Brown. He went tricker treating and all he got was A BAG FULL OF ROCKS!

  49. So, what ARE we doing around here on election night? Are you guys all joining the usual late night crowd (Seriously, Regency, myiq, Little Isis, Britannia, me, and sometimes angie, sometimes johninca, and sometimes others) for drinks and smut?

  50. Oh MABlue that was a pretty funny article at slate you linked to! My favorite line:

    “For Chris Matthews, of course, the Obama candidacy is a “thrill” going up his leg, one that will arc over his torso and detonate his head in the event of a victory.”

    well, if the big zero does win, front row seats for the matthew’s detonation wouldn’t be a bad consolation prize! do you think they will have commercial interruptions?

  51. hang on to that thought fif – in fact my team has been able to “Manifest” stuff by all aligning on some pretty impossible things – let’s make sure we see the numbers that turn the tide for McCain.
    I am just so sick of that insipid smile – it’s everywhere you go.

  52. My Aunt works election day in Virginia. She said the NAACP sued Gov Kaine to keep the polls open another two hours. She says that means she won’t get home until 3am after all the paperwork is done.

  53. when BO loses, I expect a call to arms to his Obot followers to contest the results.

    And Daley announced they are expecting a million people at BO’s victory rally election night…I guess he’s assembling his riotous minions. I would not want to live in Chicago…that’s all I can say.

  54. scrubs — I’ll rsvp right now for election night.

  55. edwardian: the one I saw was the old version. I don’t watch the new Charlie Brown’s either. The Great Pumpkin and Charlie Brown’s Christmas. I always feel like I’m 10 years old again.

  56. What’s the population of Chicago?

  57. fif — about 2.85 million in 2005

  58. Sweeet, angie – you alwasy liven things up (except when you sneak off into the private room with myiq).

    :)

  59. fif — wiki says Chicago metro area is 9.7 million people

  60. type – I meant always.

  61. fif: I *heart* all those wonderfully warm and cozy CB “Holiday” specials. And “A Charlie Brown Christmas” soundtrack remains in heavy rotation in my house over the holidays.

  62. fif — Chicago itself is 3 million.

  63. I think I will do something CRAZY during Obie’s “Big Brother” broadcast. I will do something I have never done before, just for sh*ts and giggles.
    I still have not used that new vibrating toy I got from Adult Mart last month. Perhaps I will play with that whilst simultaneously watching BO’s “Big Brother” broadcast.
    It is just symbolic, you know? Shows how far I’ve come.

  64. shit, I need a spellchecker today.

    Meant typo, not type.

  65. Joanelle: who’s on your team?

  66. LI – eeeeewwww.

  67. edwardian said: when BO loses, I expect a call to arms to his Obot followers to contest the results.

    Oh, well, how can that happen? He doesn’t know how to lose – he’s never had to contend with that – he’s just always gotten his opponents thrown out of the contest.

    Hmmmm, he better start practicing how to do something without cheating.

    The ones in the reflection of his glorious presence are too caught up to pay attention to that queasy feeling in pit of their gut that somethin just ain’t right here. That’s a dangerous place to be in.

    I’m on media black out that day, all day. I refuse to be a reflection for this sickness.

  69. New poll of PA by Rassmussen finds that John McCain has pulled within single digits of BO, 53% to 46%.

  70. scrubs57: election night is also my birthday … i’m thinking i’ll be here though

  71. Bill Burton is certainly a call for the availability of Abortion.

    He is disgusting.

    Oh Boy. Hillbuzz is funding a counter victory party with Young Republicans across the street. They will be in my most deepestest and sincerestes prayers.

  73. So people are coming in from all over the country/world to witness the Coronation?

    Oh please, if there is a God, how magnificent would it be to watch this whole charade crash and burn? It would be the greatest upset in political history. And we’ll definitely be a part of it :)

  74. bb — if Rass has McCain down by 7 in PA, that means he is up by at least 5.

  75. Carol: he really is. I’d just love to wipe the smarmy smirk off his face. Megyn Kelly was great the other night, and made him look like a spoiled brat.

  76. I refuse to watch BO’s 1/2 hour “Love Me” show. Hell I can’t even listen to him for a 30 sec campaign. I want to vomit when his 2 minute campaign commercial comes on. YUK.

    Even my “unity pony” hubby said tonight — I’m so sick of seeing him on TV. I’m not even voting for president.

    Inside I’m thinking “YAY!” That’s a PUMA VOTE – “Nothing On Top”

  77. What Might Have Been

    (with apologies to D. H. Lawrence)

    Softly, in the dusk, Hillary is talking to me;
    Taking me back down the vista of the year, till I see
    Us all hoping, waiting, in the boom of the Convention hall,
    Watching the fine, poised feet of a mother
    who smiles as she talks.

    In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of her speech
    Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to reach
    Back to those earlier days with November yet to come
    And speeches to the adoring crowds, her wisdom our sure
    guide.

    So now it is vain for my friends to burst into clamor
    With angst and pain and appassionato. The glamor
    Of those earlier days is upon me, my manhood is cast
    Down in the flood of remembrance,
    I weep like a child for the past.

  78. Dakini: we’ll be celebrating with you! Mine is the week after.

  79. fif — remember back during the primary when Obama compared himself to Icarus? It was the one time he spoke the truth — and we will all witness his dramatic fall back to earth on Nov. 4.

  80. Little Isis: my eldest is doing a rotation at loyolla/chicago this month … i’m hoping she’s on call that night and stays in the hospital, frankly

  81. Even my “unity pony” hubby said tonight — I’m so sick of seeing him on TV. I’m not even voting for president.

    Inside I’m thinking “YAY!” That’s a PUMA VOTE – “Nothing On Top”

    SOD: That’s great! I think it is like the European Obamapalooza tour and the Invesco Field spectacle. They are politically tone deaf, and don’t realize how excessive these displays are. People are worried about their retirement accounts, and he is behaving like a Boy Emperor.

  82. My sales team – we manifested all kinds of resouces they told us we’d never get and that we knew there was no money for – but suddenly -there it was because of some coincidences that could not have been expected or explained. But the team of 8 (yes only 8) just all aligned and there it was. :)

  84. Campbell Brown hit Obama hard tonight on CNN about reneging on campaign finance reform and the obscene amount of $$ he’s spending.

  85. I won’t be watching. However, I feel sure I could resist the “mind control” techniques. LOL! I’m immune to the Obama “charisma.” I don’t think it works on old, deadender, menopausal women.

  86. Great post, sm!

    Here’s some motivation to help us make it through this last week:
    Close your eyes and imagine Mac wins! Now, visualize Tweety, Ko, Brokaw, Maddow, etc. announcing to America that Mac has won. OMG! I can’t wait to see their expressions. Then imagine the total freak-out at the Big Orange Cheeto and Talk O. Sweet!

  87. kewl sm77: gotta love all these scorpio women like Hillary!

  88. Barack Obama paid for a 1/2 hour spot on Fox at 8 p.m. tomorrow night?

    I now believe John McCain will most assuredly carry Pennsylvania and Florida, thereby winning the 2008 Presidential Election.

    The postponed World Series game, tied at 2-2, is supposed to resume tomorrow night at 8 p.m. on Fox. Phillies (PA) and Tampa Ray (FL) fans should be royally P.O.’d at Obama for delaying coverage of their game!

    The Weather Gods, and the Baseball Commissioner, are great.

  89. speaking of Boy Emperor — has everyone seen this on Sugar N Spice? It is worth the 2:35 of your time (turn the volume down though). Spoiler: best line “Barack Obama is standing in the middle of the street without a stitch of clothes on and the media can’t find a story here.” LMAO.

  92. Campbell Brown attacking Obama???? WTF? They must all see their careers circling the bowl to the sound of a big swoooosh.

  93. Dakini: Scorpion Sisters stick together!

  94. angie: I never heard him make that comparison, but it is certainly apt. It just seems like a law of nature–anything that is artificially inflated like his image and campaign are, HAS to fall. I just worry that the media et. al. will continue the false, romantic storyline indefinitely like the right has done with Reagan.

  95. Wow!

    I guess KO and Tweety forgot to tell us about Biden funneling funds to family and friends. Another set of anchors bite the dust for asking questions – this time about the inappropriate transfer of Campaign Funds:

  96. SOD: Do tell! It IS strange how the media has suddenly become so self-reflective in the past few days. What’s up with that? It would be sooooo sweet to see them have to kiss Palin’s butt for 4 years, desperate for those interviews.

  101. I thought this was interesting – Romney attacking Palin. Nobody seems to be attacking Biden:

    Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin’s bid for the White House, have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election. “Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won’t be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,” says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin. “The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney. He’s in charge on November 5th.”

  102. Sarah is flying home to Wasilla to vote next Monday night and then flying to meet John and Cindy in Arizona for election night.

    I can hardly wait for them to win.

  109. Campbell Brown hit Obama hard tonight on CNN about reneging on campaign finance reform and the obscene amount of $$ he’s spending.

    Excuuuuse me, but where the hell has she been? I renounced public financing months ago. Good scoop Campbell!

    I am glad someone mentioned his obscene spending in the face of days on end re: Wardrobegate.

    From your link:

    “For Chris Matthews, of course, the Obama candidacy is a “thrill” going up his leg, one that will arc over his torso and detonate his head in the event of a victory.”

    If Obama wins and Chris Matthews’ head explodes, that will be one thing to be grateful for.

    Ha!!! That Romney is a scumbag. I knew that all along. And I also knew that he saw Palin as a threat. He wanted to run in 2012 and he knows she could clobber him if she decides to run at the end of Mac’s one term.
    I KNEW IT!!!
    I have a prediction that I am making right here and now. Write it in the books. Little Isis has spoke it, let it be wrote:

    In the primaries of ‘12. Mitt Romney vs. Sarah Palin.

    Romney = Obama ‘08

    Palin = Hillary ‘08

    Do you all understand what I’m saying? Romney and his supporters will be the next obots. Mark my words. Romney is a snake. Mac hates him.

  133. PS: Regency, I hope you know, both the pantsuit wife and big dawg have signed on with me and my vibrating friend from adult mart during BO’s Big Brother shabang. But fear not: The winky one is for rent that evening.

    Whoa there damn it. If you have a vibrating friend, you certainly don’t need a non-vibrating buddy. Let me keep Mr. Pantsuit Dawg. Winky is gonna be busy Election Night packing for the White House so she’ll be occupied.

  134. You never forget an Aries girlfriend.

    You might want to, but you won’t.

  135. Fuzzy: I’ve seen it as “O”merica.

  136. I guess dinner goes on with out me…should get a bite to eat!

  137. fif, dakinikat — I have an earth sign in my chart (my moon is in Taurus) but I’m all Aries — the only “Taurus” in me is that I keep my house super, super clean (kinda OCD clean, if we are being honest).

    Wouldn’t a Palin-Romney debate be delightful? I would love to see her take him on. He thinks he is so perfect, and she’d do it all with a smile and a “you betcha!”

    Palin would diss him like Mac dissed him in NH, and Romney would just blink at her. And she would wink and say, “You betcha”, and steal the show.

  139. fuzzybeargville, their loss. And hopefully your last laugh on election night.

  140. SM77 I guess so….room 101 for all teh Pumas!

  141. fuzzy — Leo’s are wonderful! My BFF is a Leo — Obama has all the “bad” parts of Leo & none of the good — seriously, too much ego & none of the fire — do you see how sluggish he is?

  142. fif – Feed them to the PUMAs, poor Fuzzy has not eaten yet. Fuzzy, the are not worthy of your angst.

  143. checkin’ in y’all! dont know if you guys are up to speed about SWVA … but last week the Obamanatio was here and drew 8000 inside the Roanoke Civic Center
    …last night IN TERRIBLE WEATHER 16,000 people stood in the Salem Football Stadium to see Sarah Palin….. things that make you go hmmmm.

  144. Hank Williams Jr. and Sarah on Cnn.com

    John and Cindy on Hannity

  145. true or as some one told me I can spend the next 4 years saying I told you so….

  146. Oh yeah way too Big Brother for me!

  147. myiq — puhlease — no one ever wants to forget an Aries girl — unless it is only to stop the crying in the pillow at night after she’s gone.

    Lil Isis — you are so right about Romney — that guy is sick — I’ll never get over that dog on the roof of the car story, which he tells with pride!!! WTF? Something is seriously off with that guy.

    For real!!! That sickened me!!! And you know that Obambie took notes from him. Romney is sleaze. I hope Palin makes a fool of him. How much do you want to bet he couldn’t take getting his clock cleaned by a woman??? And no worries. If Palin fails at taking him down, it’ll be Hillary as ‘12 Dem Nominee to kick *ss and take names.

  151. So is obama’s super nifty speechifying teebee variety 1/2 hour scheduled for Thursday?

    What would happen to the trolls if we did testimonials about how much this special on-air event changed our view of obama…? Would they explode? Would they report back to the mothership?

  152. Help! I’m stuck in the spam filter… not sure what key words kicked it off – I didn’t use the “r” word.

  153. I can probably learn to be an incredible potter or cook or weaver or yogi in four years. Ok, I am set if the unspeakable happens and I have to disappear. Not from you guys, of course, but from the rest of the world.

  154. I love that Hank Williams Jr McCain Palin song!

    …….”McCain hasn’t got terrorist friends to whom his career is linked”………..”Like a Mama bear in Idaho”..hmhmmhmmmm…………….

    Ok I’m heading off to Youtube to listen to it again!

  155. urp… didn’t mean to post twice!

  156. So, just how much does it cost to buy that much prime time? The amount of $ Barry’s campaign has spent to no other end than an effort to glorify His Paltriness is absolutely obscene. Here’s hoping a majority of (actual) voters agree.

  157. I’m watching McCain on FOX right now — the man looks better now then he did at the beginning of the election — its as if the campaigning has invigorated him. Meanwhile, the “youthful” BO looks like a hot tranny mess. I don’t think BO can hack being president for a lot of reasons, but good god — if campaigning wears him out this badly, how is the oval office going to treat him?

  158. boycott all corpmedia for the day!

    more potential election fraud:

    Voter rolls stuffed with dead and absent registrants
    JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – Mississippi’s voter situation is hard to believe. Places like Madison County have over 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18.
    Sue Sautermeister, First District Election Commissioner in Madison County, tried to purge the rolls, but ran into trouble when it was discovered it takes a vote of three of the five election commissioners and the purge cannot take place within 90 days of a federal election.
    Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is the first to admit the situation with voter registration in this state is terrible.
    “It is terrible,” he says. “Combined with the fact that we don’t have voter ID in Mississippi, anybody can show up at any poll that happens to know the people who have left town or died — and go vote for them.”

    so no-one thought to clean up the rolls til now!

She is capable of some crazy things, believe me, and she can do two or three crazy things at once. I’ll need CC Clinton/Chanel love while I am vibrating to BO’s Big Brother tune.
    Trust me, Winky one can keep three scorpio chicks busy at once. You will be well served.

  160. Leos aren’t bad at all (aside from BO). Mom’s a Leo. Big Dawg Candy’s a Leo. They’re not necessarily bad.

  162. My only previous Aries girlfriend promised me she would never stab me in a vital organ.

    But she had lesbian tendencies, which made me worry what she considered a vital organ.

    And for our peeping tom blogstalkers, I’m not joking

    Seriously, I’m not joking.

  163. Honora — I’ve got a house outside of Athens, Greece — I’ve made the offer before, but all PUMAs are welcome.

  164. I know that it is not Romney’s ‘fault’ that he had four really handsome, virile ( in that Mormon way) sons, but he always seemed a lot too perfect. I am sure that Mrs. Romney, however, did not spend $150,000 on her clothes. :wink:

  165. Hey, Hey Hey

  166. I was just at the gas station, I’m standing there minding my business, and this guy comes over and starts harassing me about my Hillary bumper sticker and asking me if I’m voting for Palin because she’s a woman (I don’t even have a McCain/Palin bumper sticker or anything, though I should get one).

    This is why Obama is going to lose, because these people are scary. I mean, I’ve been standing out holding signs for candidates since I was a litle girl, and yes there have been times when Republicans have stopped their cars, gotten out and yelled at us just like Obots do (especially at anti-war rallies and vigils and such) but Obots have done it way more often this one time than all those other years combined, plus I have NEVER had a Republican come up and get in my face because of just having a bumper sticker or wearing a shirt.

  167. angie:

    “Bo looks a hott tranny mess”

    angie = LOVE

  168. Dallas News doesn’t think Pumas are still around. So let her know we are! PLEASE GO POST HERE AND LET THIS LADY HEAR US ROAR! http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont…1.4a7a16a.html

  169. angie —

    Meanwhile, the “youthful” BO looks like a hot tranny mess

    Fierce! ;)

  170. Sarah Palin speaking at HUGE rally now at Penn State!!!

    Have to catch the internet feed to see it.

  171. Obama speaking for 1/2 hour tomorrow night should be a real snoozer. Playing “president” should be fun to watch. Not!!

    I have resurrected my old rosary beads and promise to go back to church if he loses on November 5th and even went so far to be nicer to my ex husband. Believe me when I say I am making every “sacrifice” toward a McCain win.

    However, those of you who keep telling me he will lose, and he doesn’t, I have my maps all laid out. Starting in NC, KY, TX, FL, and parts yet to be named. You have been warned. Just think of that woman from NASA. I will be channeling.

  172. Honora: I already proposed that we should set up a PUMA in exile community. We would certainly never tire of good conversation!

  173. OMG, I didn’t know that Sarah was a Scorpio. It’s official, I have the hottest sign in the zodiac. Me, Hillary, & Sarah? Oh, yeah.

  174. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh7xMhsLnac

    Obama talks about Wright. If we can get this out there by tomorrow, we can turn his infomercial into him talking about Wright.

  175. Regency….I’m a LEO! You’re damn right there are good LEOs. We’re the True felines. mmeeeeeoooorrrrww.

  176. myiq — I like how you say your “only previous Aries girlfriend, to imply that you have a current Aries girlfriend.
    That’s how I’m reading that sentence & I’m sticking with it. ;-)

    BO is the worst kind of Leo. All talk and no game. Probably fares the same in the sack too. Almost makes me feel sorry for Michelle.

  180. Seriously,

    Are you kidding me? I wish I was at the gas station I would have said none of your business.

    I don’t get that because most people assume I am for Obama because I am an AA. I did have a family member ask if I had “switched my alliance to BO”…I never emailed her back.

  181. The crowd at Penn State is deafening! Excellent!

    They love Sarah!

  184. I thought Sarah was an Aquarius

  185. sod — I love Project Runway too!! Did I tell you I got to meet THE Tim Gunn!! He was at the Belk for a Liz Claiborn event — I just happened to be there & yes, I’m not too proud to admit as soon as I saw him & squealed like a 13 year old girl & got myself in the long, long line to meet him. He is gorge!! And so, so sweet — at that moment, I wished I was a gay man!!

  186. Wait, no, she’s not a Scorpio but someone is (kicks Google). She’s whatever Chelsea is, which is good enough for me.

  194. angie — No way!! Tim Gunn is a doll. “Make it work…” :) My daughter and I ran into the 1st season winner Jay at the Philadelphia Whole Foods on South St a few months ago. Doesn’t appear he’s done a whole lot with his 15 minutes of fame though.

  195. Regency — I read that about my sweet Tim Gunn! (btw, my mom totally loves him too). I’m torn though — I kind of feel like if I can’t have him (which I can’t, ’cause I’m a woman) then I like that no one else does either. So selfish and petty of me, but at the same time — who is good enough for my Tim Gunn? Answer: no one!

    MCCain takes PA-$ 21 million Dollars

    McCain takes Florida Virginia and North Carolina-$ 39 million dollars

    McCain Takes Ohio-40 million dollars

    Rachel Maddow in tears, an Obama Concession speech, and a pity party in Grant Park in Chicago for 250,000 worshipers….Priceless!

  200. Angie: What about Andrae?–our little lamb. Red Lobster for Tim the Gunn.

    I love him so and would have a million of his babies but something tells me he does not appreciate the sweetness of feminine wiles. Maybe he can hook upp with Emmet Smith from a few seasons ago.

  201. God, that was too dirty, even for me.

  202. Over here, little ole me Libra. The most boring sign, but IIRC the only sign that is secure enough in itself that we get along best with another Libra. Also the only sign that Is not alive. We do make good lawyers, an oxymoron w/o a doubtl. Of course, Lovo is a Taurus, but I but I put up with the crazy guy.

  204. Pat J: No the only thing left will be YouTube.

  205. I’m watching Palin on CCN.live, in PA and the energy there is incredible. You can feel it jumping through the screen. She is being more spontaneous in her stump speech these days, and whatever fools are criticizing her for it do not know what they are doing, because she really hits the mark when she plain speaks. It is very specific and connects with the crowd.

  206. afrocity, god, isn’t it considered bad manners to ask people who they’re voting for, even relatives? Nobody likes proselytizers, especially when they take it way too far.

  207. Yes angie…you’re way too class for that ‘rub and tug’ lingo. ;0

  208. All those peeps talk out of school sound like undercover obots. They’re hedging their bets.

    I love Jake Weisberg, but what a c#$@sucking motherfucker! Another Liberal condescending on us.

    So they have decided to give us the guy whose bare election will resolve ALL our problems, whatever they may be? This is so outrageous, I can’t even write intelligently.

    Just because some of these assholes want to feel good about themselves, they have decided to vote for a black guy so we can just go away? WTF?

    It has long since occured to me that they simply do not want tough women in government.

  225. OK Pat! Just did – oh I hardly go to church & the most pro-choice woman in my family, but the roots are still there. St Jude is the saint of the impossible and dammit we need his help.

  226. wwill we know it is a concession speech when Obama says UMMMMMMMM?

  227. Obama is encouraging his followers to stay home from work and school next Tuesday so they can help “make history”. This should go over big in a lot of workplaces. And for those students who do decide to stay home to vote then find themselves given detention, woe be it to the teacher that makes that decision.

  228. Ewww watching Alan Colmes is like bringing your nasty kid brother with ring worms on a hot date. You just want to lock him in the closet.

  229. angie how was work today I was quite busy trying to provide real help to the people Obama claims to be fighting for I will feel spotless as a lamb when I go and vote for every woman I can and not for BO on Tuesday!

  230. Holy Cow on CNN Obama is in Norfolk? He must really be in deep doo doo. I mean Norfolk went heavily for Kerry in 04. This is Congressman Bobby Scott territory. It doesn’t get any bluer than this is VA. 68% of Norfolk went Kerry and 62% of Bobby Scott’s district went Kerry.

  231. sm77- I will go to the site where you can light a candle and follow suit.

  233. “The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney. He’s in charge on November 5th.”
    Here come the Mittwits. If Palin runs, I say she’ll trounce Romney in the GOP primaries.

    Well, GOPers have long since held him as their favorite, at least party leaders have. There are certain factions in the GOP party elite that want Mitt Romney as their glorious leader. Romney is the Obama of the GOP. McCain and Palin are strongly disliked by many conservatives for their integrity and Maverickness. They are like the Clintons of the Democratic Party. Many in the DEM Party elite hate the Clintons, and that is a known fact. Mark my words. Write it down, put it in script, and chisel it into stone tablets:

    Mittwitts are the next Obots.

  234. Obama is supposedly ahead by 49 to 41 with registered voters. However, another poll of likely voters shows him ahead by one point. Of course they have not counted those who are planning on gaming the system. I just said goodbye to Ohio for good measure.

  235. I forgot to share my fun election moment of the day. Around dinner time I had a call from “the Obama campaign” today. Some perky twit started by gushing on and on not even caring if I was listening. When she finished with “Can Barack count on your vote?” I started laughing and said…is this a joke?

    She was dead silent for a moment and then said again, “Can Barack count on your vote?” I said, “you’re pulling my leg right?”

    The stunned silence was so much fun to experience. She tried once more…”Are you planning on voting this November 4th?” and I said “Of Course” to which she replied “Can Barack count on your vote?” and again I said “Is this a joke? are you a prank caller?” — she then said “well, then thank you” and hung up.

    It’s like a cat playing with a mouse — and so much fun.

  236. SOD: I love it when you march out your cruel side!!

    That’s so weird. Just yesterday I compared the obots’ certainty that Obama will win to the Born Agains’ belief in the Rapture. I love steam engine time.

    Interesting article too. Especially the point the writer makes that reporters covering Obama are annoyed because he’s “controlling and inaccessible.” And they’re not so much in love with Obama as in love with the idea of Obama. I think that probably sums up a lot of obots.

  244. Why bother to work and get an education when you have Obama promising tax rebates for all? A chicken in every pot and a brand new house to go with.

    No wonder they call him The One We Have Been Waiting For!

  245. Romney spent tons of money and had a big lead in the polls but his campaign flopped, just as with his father. If he had won, this election would be in the bag for Obama.

  246. yeah when I got his E-mail I should have sent a response that I cant help him because I am going to be covering for the 20 people who call in sick to do his dirty work because I believe “America works best when Americans works!”

  247. sod- That was great.

    I forgot to share my fun election moment of the day. Around dinner time I had a call from “the Obama campaign” today. Some perky twit started by gushing on and on not even caring if I was listening. When she finished with “Can Barack count on your vote?” I started laughing and said…is this a joke?
    She was dead silent for a moment and then said again, “Can Barack count on your vote?” I said, “you’re pulling my leg right?”
    The stunned silence was so much fun to experience. She tried once more…”Are you planning on voting this November 4th?” and I said “Of Course” to which she replied “Can Barack count on your vote?” and again I said “Is this a joke? are you a prank caller?” — she then said “well, then thank you” and hung up.
    It’s like a cat playing with a mouse — and so much fun.

    The Obama Campiagn made the mistake of calling my cell phone while I was in a really bad mood. The phone rang and the woman was just like:

    “Hello!!! May name is Karen with the Obama Campaign and I was wondering if-”

    It did not take much. Let’s say it was the last straw on a really bad day for me, and the camel’s back broke.

    I screamed, “F*CK YOU OBAMA CAMPAIGN!!!” and I hung up.

    Needless to say, they have not called me for volunteer hours since then.

  249. Kat5 — We Virgos annotate ours. LMAO — my father is a Virgo — truer words were never spoken!

    Pat J — I love Tauruses! My grandmother (god rest her soul) was a Taurus — and, yes, they are stubborn like bulls, but they are so “family” oriented that the stubbornness is easily forgiven. Plus, you could literally eat off the woman’s floors.

    And yes, we Aries are often accused of being “stubborn” but we are not — we are determined — there is a difference. :-)

  251. Hmmmm…now that I find I need to justify my vote to Jacob Weisberg, I may have to vote for BO.

    Who else besides HRC will run in our primary in ‘12? It seems like we have no bench, but that never stopped us before. If nobody else runs, I might become an independent to vote for Sarah in their primary, I really cannot stand Willard.

  253. Pat — you are KILLING me tonight! :) ROFLMAO!!!

  254. that’s why i wonder what the heck in going on in those inside polls. You could tell alot by where a candidate is in the last few days where they don’t and do have a shot.

  255. Oh jeez — I just saw a BO ad where he is telling us that “parents need to turn off the tvs” — don’t worry BO — if you win my tv will be off — because even muting you (like I do with W) will not be enough.

  256. Mitt Romney’s house in Belmont, MA is absolutely beautiful. My son lived in Belmont for a time and I passed it when I went down there. You can actually smell the money as you drive by.

    I bet media fluffers will LOOOOVE them and call them BRIIIIILIANT! And then they’ll whine and say, it’s not our fault we’re in the tank! BO is such a great Tony Robbins and McCain doesn’t do infomercials so it’s really McCain’s own fault!

    The really good news is, BO hates to be laughed at, the prissy poser. The really, really good news: he’s so damn easy to laugh at… he’s a joke. The election a three legged Democrat cow was supposed to win without trying, and he’s down to… infomercials. Oy.

  276. I think this stuff will work against him.

    It gets outs that you bought your own tv channel then decided to run a half hour program about yourself on several networks- it kinds proves you’re an arrogant asshole. It proves that the media is in love with you.

    I mean… doesn’t it. Weren’t the two books enough? It doesn’t dispel the rumors? Why would anyone believe you- about you? Everyone is capable of lying about themselves. People aren’t stupid man.

    I really think, despite their MANY MANY degrees in MANY MANY subjects, the people in his campaign lack common f-ing sense.

    I heard this brilliant exchange on a radio show with this woman who has a phd in what i’m assuming is ecnomics since that was kind of her field. And she just did not understand that her position of the 401ks and SS was dumb as….

    I’ll put it up on youtube and give you the link tomm if anyone is interested. It’s sad really. It proves people can rationalize anything.

    I’m a taurus with a scorpio mom, aries sister (has taurus moon and yes she is almost ocd about cleanliness) and daughter.

    Obama’s chart is not well balanced. The problem is that no one knows his real time of birth and without it the chart is not exact. At this point I’n not even sure if it’s the correct date.

  279. South Philly might erupt when people turn on the TV to watch the rest of Game 5 and find Pampers the Asshat on the tube.

    For his next trick he will be buying the last half hour of Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve so he can delay 2009.

    The only pumpkin who can grant wishes is Pumpkin Head. And you REALLY don’t want to make a deal with that dude.

    Speaking of which, I don’t plan to watch the Precious on the teebee. I believe there is a showing of the original Pumpkin Head movie on the FearNet station that I intend to watch.

  281. “South Philly might erupt when people turn on the TV to watch the rest of Game 5 and find Pampers the Asshat on the tube.”

    Funniest line I’ve read all week.

  282. On the radio during my morning commute here in Colorado, an ad executive said of the infomercial as a risky proposition in that he may oversaturate the viewing audience. He’s already running 1-minute spots along with the 30-second spots. It will reach the point the viewer will ignore and react against it. And, with 5 days remaining campaign, that’s a lot of time.

    We can only hope and wish the infomercial will make him crash and burn on Election Day.

  283. If there’s one person in this country who doesn’t know who THE ONE is, they’ve been living under a damn rock. The ahole has been running this campaign for 2 YEARS fercryingoutloud. ENOUGH ALREADY!

    I know my TeeVee will be tuned to Planet Green tonight.:) How freakin’ boring can he get?

    I hope he infuriates baseball fans everywhere!

  284. Years ago I lived in a town in NJ. An acquaintance, a wealthy Wall Streeter, decided he would run for a town office (I don’t remember which one), so he hired a PR firm, distributed professional flyers and slick brochures. He spent major dollars in his effort. Guess what?!! He turned off enough voters with his overkill that he lost his bid.
    There’s a lesson here..and I think that Obama may well be making the same mistake. Let’s hope so!

  291. I wish I had known about this sooner than FUCKING 8:00 LAST NIGHT.

    Dear Senator Obama,
    I would have rather watched Bones. Still not voting for you.

  292. When two U.S. Army enlisted men were captured by the Viet Cong in 1963, they were plunged into an ordeal that would prove to be a relentless trial of body and spirit by torture. Once they were finally freed, however, their trials began all over again, when their statements critical of the U. S. Vietnam policy landed them in a military court facing a capital offense for violating the military Code of Conduct by “aiding the enemy.”

    But, if your name is John McCain and your father and grandfather were famous admirals, violating the Code of Conduct by “aiding the enemy” translates into fodder for a political career, book deals, and adulation bordering on sainthood.

    Even though news reports of McCain collaborating with the enemy continued from the time he was captured in 1967 through 1970, the Navy never considered prosecution as an option.

    Instead, Pentagon pencil pushers chose a political spin that lifted McCain, the former POW turned U.S. Senator, up to a glorified pedestal where he sprouted a halo and wings and became America’s “POW-hero” and today a presidential candidate.

    No such luck for the two lowly “grunts.”

    After two-years of being held as prisoners of war under the most brutal circumstances in the steamy, mosquito infested jungle of South Vietnam, Army Staff Sgt. George E. Smith and Sp/5 Claude McClure could take the torture no more. They asked for and were granted parole. In November 1965, the two demoralized POWs were led across the Cambodian border and released by their Viet Cong captors.

    Following their release, Smith and McClure held a press conference in Phnom Penh and made statements that opposed U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

    Smith, 27, of Chester, West Virginia told the press: “I have known both sides, and the war in Vietnam is of no interest to the United States.”

    McClure, 25, a black American from Chattanooga, Tennessee added, “The Saigon government is not the government of the people . . . The Viet Cong are the people.”

    U.S. government officials were infuriated. Both Smith and McClure were Green Berets and they had clearly violated the military code of conduct which among other things, specifies; “If I am captured . . . I will accept neither parole not special favors from the enemy . . . [and] will make no oral or written statement disloyal to my country and its allies . . .”

    After the press conference Smith and McClure were met by representatives of the Australian government who made travel arrangements and flew the two former POW’s to Bangkok, Thailand. There, US officials took them into custody and read them their rights under Article 31, which is the military version of the rights against self incrimination.

    The two former POWs were then loaded aboard a military aircraft and hustled out of Thailand to Okinawa where they were placed under house arrest and turned over to intelligence agents for “debriefing.”

    “Tell us everything that happened that’s important,” the intelligence agents instructed them at the beginning of the debriefings. “It will be helpful for Americans who become prisoners of war.”

    During the debriefing, which lasted approximately three weeks, Smith and McClure were not allowed to talk to anyone without prior clearance by the intelligence agents and their mail was read and censored.

    After the debriefing the Army informed them that they were being charged with violating Article 104 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice by “preparing, furnishing, and delivering to the Viet Cong certain documents, statements and writings inimical to the interest of the U.S.”

    Shocked and demoralized, Smith and McClure quickly learned that the charge of aiding the enemy carries the death penalty and that they could be tried by a military tribunal without witnesses.

    Then, the Army dropped another bomb shell in their laps. Their debriefings, which they had given freely and openly were to be used as evidence against them.

    The Army moved Smith and McClure to a secret location away from the press and the Pentagon issued press releases implying that they had turned official papers over to the Viet Cong.

    Members of the press accepted the Pentagon’s accusations against the two enlisted men without investigation or verification of the facts. Some elements of the media printed stories which referred to them as “turncoats.”

    Prior to being captured November 24, 1963, there was nothing in the service records of Smith or McClure that indicated any lack of loyalty to the United States.

    Both men wore the Green Beret of the elite Special Forces. They were captured with several other Americans after the Viet Cong overrun their Special Forces camp at Hiep Hoa, South Vietnam. Any sensitive documents that Smith and McClure might have had access to were destroyed by flames that engulfed their team house during the attack.

    Hiep Hoa was the first Special Forces camp to be overran in the Vietnam War. It was located in the Plane of Reeds between Saigon and the Cambodian border and was one of many Special Forces camps fortified and strategically located in the midst of known heavy enemy presence. Because of their isolated locations, camps like Hiep Hoa were vulnerable to attack.

    Captured with Smith and McClure were Sgt’s Issac “Ike” Camacho and Kenneth Mills Roraback.

    The Viet Cong force marched the captured GI’s from Hiep Hoa south deep into the jungles of the U Minh Forest to a crudely built POW camp that the Americans later nick named “Auschwitz.”

    The American prisoners in “Auschwitz” were placed in bamboo cages four feet wide, six feet long, just tall enough to sit up in. Life for the POWs became an every day struggle for survival. Communist interrogators effectively used sleep deprivation and the withholding of food and medicine as tools of torture to intimidate and break the prisoner’s will to resist.

    Other American POWs were brought to “Auschwitz” and chained in the cramped bamboo cages.

    The new occupants included: Sgt.’s Harold Bennett and Charles Crafts who were captured December 29, 1964 during a fire fight with the Viet Cong in Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam. They were operating as advisors to the South Vietnamese Army.

    Marine Capt. Donald Cook, who was captured New Year’s Eve, 1964, while serving as an advisor to the 4th Battalion of the Vietnamese Marine Corps. Cook was wounded in the leg and later captured.

    Army Capt. John Robert Schumann, who was captured June 16, after his unit was ambushed.

    With the new POWs came an even more grueling barrage of indoctrination attempts by the interrogators: “Sign a statement declaring the United States imperialist aggressors and we will let you go home.

    “If you don’t repent your crimes, you can stay here forever. This war can end tomorrow, but you can be here for the rest of your life.”

    Any ranking POW who attempted to establish a chain of command in the camp would be severely beaten and isolated from other prisoners.

    When Capts. Cook and Schumann, attempted to establish command of the POWs in “Auschwitz,” the Viet Cong responded mercilessly with beatings. They labeled the two captains “unrepentant reactionaries” and segregated them from the rest of the camp.

    From the beginning of Roraback’s capture, he let his Viet Cong captors know that he believed in the Military Code of Conduct and had no intention of violating it while he still had the will to resist. From that point on, his interrogators set out with a pathological desire to break him.
    When the guards ordered that no one in the camp was to talk to Cook, Roraback defied them by yelling a conversation with the captain who was isolated on the other side of the camp.

    Roraback was soon isolated from the other prisoners.

    Comacho escaped July 9, 1965 during a heavy rain storm. For four days he used his survival skills to avoid Viet Cong patrols and made his way back to friendly forces. He was the first American serviceman to escape from the Viet Cong.

    In September 1965, Smith and McClure heard some horrifying news. National Liberation Radio was announcing to the world that the Viet Cong had executed three U.S. POWs: Capt. “Rocky” Versace and Sgts. Kenneth Roraback and Harold Bennett.

    Soon after, Smith and McClure signed a promise that if released, they would join the anti-war movement upon returning to the United States. The were released in November 1965.

    Cook and Schumann disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. The Vietnamese later claimed they died of illness.

    Sgt. Crafts secured his freedom about a year later.

    The Viet Cong National Liberation Front policy of terrorizing and torturing American prisoners by the intentional withholding of food and medicine was barbaric and premeditated. The percentage of U.S. prisoners of war who died in National Liberation Front POW camps in South Vietnam was double, if not triple, that of Union prisoners who died in the infamous Andersonville POW camp during the Civil War. Because so many U.S. prisoners died there, the U.S. government hung the Commander of the Andersonville POW camp, Confederate Captain Henry Wirz.

    In April 1966, the Pentagon announced to the press that although Smith and McClure had not been totally cleared, the charges were being dismissed because there was “not sufficient evidence to prove a violation.”

    Smith and McClure were given a less than honorable discharge and drummed out of the Army, their reputations tarnished forever.

    During the time the Americans caged in “Auschwitz” were enduring torture and deprivation, young Navy pilot John McCain was in flight training and having different troubles. Surviving a crash unscathed in Corpus Christi Bay, he managed to later collide another training plane into power lines in Spain.

    Despite the crashes, he was allowed to continue flying as a Navy aviator. Luck, or maybe it was the admiral, had smiled on him.

    In 1965, when Smith and McClure stepped from the horrors of a bamboo cage prison into the humiliation of a court-marshal for their anti-war statements, Navy pilot McCain and Carol Shepp, a tall Philadelphia model were married.

    Two years later, on Oct. 26, 1967, the admiral’s son while flying his 23rd mission over North Vietnam, once again fell from the sky, this time landing in the hands of a brutal enemy. He was beaten and bayoneted. His shoulder was smashed and his right calf was nearly perpendicular to his knee.

    The severely wounded McCain was finally thrown on the back of a truck and hauled to the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison camp. Immediately, his captors began to interrogate him using sadistic methods they had perfected on hundreds of captured U.S. servicemen before him.

    His interrogators demanded military information. When he refused, his guards kicked and pounded him mercilessly.

    McCain admits that three to four days after he was captured, he promised the Vietnamese, “I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.”

    McCain also admits that the Vietnamese rushed him to a hospital, but denies he was given “special medical treatment” because of his promise.

    He claims he was given medical care normally unavailable to captured Americans only because the Vietnamese learned he was the son of Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., the soon-to-be commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific including those fighting in Vietnam.

    The Vietnamese figured that because POW McCain’s father was of such high military rank that he was of royalty or the governing circle in the United States. Thereafter the communist bragged that they had captured “the crown prince”and treated him as a “special prisoner.”

    Less than two weeks after McCain was taken to a hospital, Hanoi’s press began quoting him giving specific military information, including the name of the aircraft carrier on which he was based, numbers of U.S. pilots that had been lost, the number of aircraft in his flight, information about location of rescue ships and the order of which his attack was supposed to take place.

    There is also evidence that McCain received “special” medical treatment from a Soviet physician.

    After he was out of the hospital, McCain continued cooperating with the North Vietnamese for a period of three years. He made radio broadcasts for the communists and met with foreign delegations, including the Cubans. He was interviewed by at least two North Vietnamese generals one of whom was Vietnam’s national hero, General Vo Nguyen Giap.

    On June 4, 1969, a U.S. wire service story headlined “PW Songbird Is Pilot Son of Admiral,” reported one of McCain’s radio broadcasts: “Hanoi has aired a broadcast in which the pilot son of the United States commander in the Pacific, Adm. John McCain, purportedly admits to having bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam and praises medical treatment he has received since being taken prisoner.

    “The broadcast was beamed to American servicemen in South Vietnam as a part of a propaganda series attempting to counter charges by U.S. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird that American prisoners are being mistreated in North Vietnam.”

    McCain says he violated the Code of Conduct only when the North Vietnamese brutally tortured him. He further claims that he was so distraught afterwards that he tried to commit suicide. He has never explained why his “aid to the enemy” continued for more than three years.

    Even though there are no reports in the public record from other POWs who witnessed McCain’s claims of torture and heroics or his attempted suicide, the American media has accepted his version of events word for word, no questions asked.

    Yet, the same press that transformed the admiral’s son into an “incredible war hero–an inspiration to all Americans,” vilified the two grunts.

    Comparing the incidents surrounding the fates of three POWs,’ who collaborated with the enemy, makes one question why two faced possible execution for treason, while the third won acclaim as a hero fit to be President of the United States.

    Once more, Lady Luck had smiled on John McCain . . . or was it the admiral?
