Hear me out…

I’m down with mark buse – mccain’s chief of staff – reportedly being gay.  This said, feel free to hold off on the “you’re homophobic/a hypocrite/etc.” comment.

I only post the blog entry because it will be interesting to see how mccain’s religious right reacts.  I assume not so well.  Will mark buse be out of a job with this revelation being made public?  If so, is that discrimination?  Ouch – stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Jason, thank you.

The fun begins at the 14 second mark.

“Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first.”

Bob Cesca’s Goddamn Awesome Blog, thank you.

Seeing that I’ve been clicking on mccain’s Google, Yahoo, etc. PAID sponsorship online ads everyday over at least the last 3 months as originally seen on BccList.com here and here, somebody within the campaign is lying and/or offering incorrect information.

“Obama has been using more money than his Republican opponent on Internet-related costs, spending $651,000 on online ads and $884,000 on websites. McCain and the RNC disclosed no spending specifically on online ads, and $422,000 on Web-related costs.”

I heard about bits and pieces of the below email late last week.  Over the weekend, I finally received the forward – of course, unsolicited.

Seriously?  It looks like it was written by the same zit faced 17 year old that put together the Barack Obama is a Muslim email.  How does the gop still exist?  Meaning, isn’t their base support – the ones that forward such emails – sick of being labeled the idiots of America?

“Let me share some info with you that i have gotten from excellent sources within the DNC:

On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.

there have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. i have already seen a few short blurbs about this – the “health problem” cited in those articles was aneurism. Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings. however, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.

so, let’s start mixing this one up and cut the obamites off at the pass – send this info out to as many people as you can – post about it on websites and blogs – etc etc”
