I am more of a feminist than Sarah Palin.

October 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Can you see the difference between those two quotes? One is talking about not helping other women, Palin’s quote attempts to damn people into eternal Hellfire for not voting for her. This coming from the person who believes that victims of rape and incest must be forced to carry children to term and who, as mayor, oversaw that victims of rape were charged for their own rape kits instead of the city paying for them as, you know, part of a criminal investigation.

Because my opponent agrees with me, he’s not fit to lead.

September 27th, 2008 · No Comments

That’s the message I got from John McCain’s latest attack ad that was put out on Youtube 15 minutes before the debate was even over.

Because Barack Obama agrees with John McCain’s policies, this shows that he’s unfit to be President? What does that say about the person who espoused those policies? I’m just trying to understand this here.

There’s no hate like conservative hate.

What happens when you tune out rational thought and listen only to opinions that attempt to remove all humanity from those with whom you disagree? Well, eventually someone actually takes you seriously and does something about it.

And I thought Sarah Palin was anti-science

September 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Get a load of this tu quoque quote by John McCain. Oh, wait, I can’t quote it here because it’s an AP article and considering I want to quote 39 words, they’ll want $17.50 for using it. And sadly, I can’t find the article anywhere but on AP. Neither Reuters nor UPI have anything on it.

So, I’ll simply link to Discover Magazine’s website so you can read the whole article.

To summarize, in answer to a question about McCain’s hypocrisy of supposedly being anti-pork, but he then selected a nominee that we are discovering to have asked for pork barrel projects.

Requisite 9-11 post

September 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Ahh yes. September 11th. I’d completely forgotten until I turned on the TV, pored through the internet, and read the newspaper. It’s pretty ubiquitous. How long do you think it will be until Patriot Day (as it’s called) will be as meaningful to most Americans as Memorial Day or Labor Day? Ah, but that’s a [...]

The gloves have come off

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Despite John McCain being a perpetual gaffe machine, we’ve seen the Obama campaign hesitate on attacking him too much. Maybe they felt that people would see them as picking on an old man. Apparently enduring McCain’s negative and dirty campaign was too much once it was shown to have had an effect on voters. The Obama campaign has focused on John McCain’s latest gaffes and has unleashed a healthy dose of whoopass.

When something against the law isn’t a crime

August 16th, 2008 · No Comments

For the past week, the Attorney General has been berated up and down Pennsylvania Avenue for uttering the following with regard to the current scandal of the Bush Administration’s politicization of judicial hirings and appointments. Basically, Monica Goodling and Kyle Sampson spent time under then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales passing over candidates for positions for “not being Republican enough” and determining this through questions that sound more like those that Stephen Colbert would utter.

Because one’s music choice shows us how presidential they are

August 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Thank you, Blender Magazine for asking the tough hitting questions to the two presidential candidates. They asked them to each make a list of their top ten favorite songs. You know, because there isn’t enough things to talk about, like the economy, or Russia’s attack of Georgia, or the war in Iraq. No no! We [...]

I’m so tire’d

August 4th, 2008 · No Comments

I almost feel as bad for John McCain as I did for John Kerry in 2004. His campaign seems to be turning into a farce of a campaign. Then again, that hasn’t stopped people from getting elected before. In fact, it may actually may be a significant advantage to look like a complete boob. It’s worked for the past eight years.

Today, we’ve got John McCain mocking Obama for… (spins the Wheel of FunĀ®)… suggesting that people keep their tires properly inflated to increase gas mileage. No, I’m serious. He actually did mock him for it.

This week in nonsense, July 31st, 2008

August 1st, 2008 · No Comments

My name is Cochese, and I approve this message.

There are a couple McCain ads that have just sort of floored me in the past week, and the Democratic response to one of them is even more idiotic.
