Unmasking the underbelly of today's "Republican" party
In honor of my car having been vandalized this past week due to my Obama sticker, I thought it a good idea to retaliate with the truth.

McCain/Palin supporters

Hypocrisy?

Republican Ayers connections: http://www.republicansforobama.org/?q=node/3027

Where do rightwing hate speakers such as Hannity, O’Reilly and Limbaugh that many Republicans listen to and follow blindly get their “talking points? People like…… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR7Hsq7afsI

Do all the lies and hate speech from people like Hannity lead to violence? You be the judge. http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/tennessee-shooter-read-books-savage-hannity-and-oreilly

Then there is the “voter fraud” issue. Is it the issue or is the real issue voter suppression?

And now there is the accusation from Republicans that the Community Reinvestment Act, Democrats in Congress, and ACORN are responsible for the credit crisis and subprime mess. But is that true or are some Republicans connected to any of it? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=McCain+Gramm+Deregulation+subprime&start=0&sa=N


The McCain Palin campaign says it is running on change and John McCain is different than George Bush. And of course, there is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uThoBMfcFRc . Funny that.

And what did voting with George Bush’s positions over 90% of the time bring us besides the economic mess? High crimes and misdemeanors, the greatest assault on American freedom and the Constitution of the United States, which is every citizens birth right as well as crimes against international treaties and standards. The crimes of the Bush Administration have been recorded for posterity here: http://chun.afterdowningstreet.org/amomentoftruth.pdf , http://kucinich.house.gov/SpotlightIssues/documents.htm. Bruce Fein who worked in the Justice Department under Reagan has something to say about the abuses of power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm_3KWDGne0 . Veterans add their assessment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWMYj5R0C_M .

Of course there was the betrayal of Americans in service of their country thus endangering them (would that be treasonous in any respect?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4qCK-fmAhE .

And then there is the abuse of the State Secrets Privilege such as in the Sibel Edmonds case in order to cover up money laundering, bribery, espionage, drug running, terrorist connections, and activity in the nuclear black market by government officials and congressional members http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X39zdgXSqs&NR=1 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXgTytaXSfc , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd2WeiHK4Os&feature=related .

And since Republicans like to talk about and make connections, wonder how many are familiar with this historical one http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Prescott+Bush&btnG=Search ?

The Republican Party (with McCain support) has brought our society these dark echoes of history: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH5U-BPJor4 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6A80r2HBkw&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w01YgTiaFj4&feature=related .

And also some dark echoes from our own past http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDJyji8x6JQ , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4N46jLdhCU&feature=related , and some wise people from the past have shown us how to respond http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N3WJXK2PAM .

2. No problem. Most of the scratches from whatever they used
are fixable.

3. They say that the need to investigate people associated with
B.O. for potential anti-American sentiments.... well howdy, what sort of pro-American sentiments does some sumbitch who makes not over 250,000 a year but MILLIONS who ships jobs overseas??

What sort of anti-American sentiment does a person have who spies on American citizens' and service persons' private phone calls??

What sort of anti-American sentiment do you have to have to send almost 5,000 men and women to their deaths for a lie??

There's plenty of investigating to do but you know damn well it will never get done. I hope Obama mops the floor with these people. I hope and pray for a landslide. THEY DESERVE IT.

11. Speaking of cars
I went outside Saturday morning and discovered that both of our cars had been egged. I thought it might just be some pre-Halloween pranksters, but on the pickup, the Obama '08 sticker had been the specific target. The same for my car, which has an assortment of bumperstickers, including "Impeach Bush," "Writers Against Bush," etc. Seemed apparent that whoever did it was trying to make a statement. I have an Obama sign in my front window--either they missed it or perhaps thought it might wake us up if they pelted it too.

16. The window would take more daring. In the end, they are cowards.
