Agreed.  Well played.

You know, the only reason that these 'bullshtein artists' have the ability to bullshtein us is because we're all stupid and apathetic enough to put up with it.

Yea, mostly. There's also the corporate media (not to mention Fixed News) which acts like the Don King of the news world, selling us tickets to the big one-liners and low blows. Or is this media merely a reflection of the people it's catered to? Likely it goes hand in hand.

Too bad everyone knows that Ron Paul is insane, because this type of stuff should carry more weight.

Paul, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination this year, told supporters at the National Press Club in Washington that he is not endorsing GOP nominee Sen. John McCain or Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama.

Instead, Paul will give his seal of approval to four candidates: Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney, Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr, independent candidate Ralph Nader and Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin.

Paul said he's supporting the third-party candidates because the two major parties and media had "colluded" to avoid discussing issues and falsely presenting the difference between McCain and Obama as real.

"I've come to the conclusion, after having spent many years in politics, is that our presidential elections turn out to be more of a charade than anything else, and I think that is true today. It is a charade," he said.

Paul offered an open endorsement to the four candidates because each signed onto a policy statement that calls for "balancing budgets, bring troops home, personal liberties and investigating the Federal Reserve," an aide to the congressman said.

"I did not want to run people's lives. I did not want to run the economy and I did not want to run the world. I didn't have the authority to do it, and I didn't have the Constitution behind me to do it," said Paul, who has been in the House of Representatives for more than 30 years.

Obama's presidential campaign has faced many false rumors about his family history that it has put his birth certificate on its Web site, "Fight the Smears." Obama was born in Honolulu Aug. 4, 1961, nearly two years after Hawaii became the 50th state, making Obama a U.S. citizen by birth.

"Maybe Mr. Berg should show us his copy of the United States map where Hawaii isn't a state," said Ellen Mellody, a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign.

The good news is there's only seven more weeks of this to put up with until the election.  That's the bad news too, incidentally.

PS: lol @ russell.

I watched Obama's foreign policy discussion with Bill O'Reiley on you tube and I have to say... Obama really hit the mark and even Bill had to give him his due on some things.

My hate for social conservatism in politics is strong enough to start to sway me towards the Obama camp at this point. His answers on some of those questions really impressed me and Palin is meh.

McCain was born in the Panama Canal zone, so neither of them were born in the contiguous 48.  Oh noes!


Hey you on the left, stay classy!

McCain wrong on Obama and sex education
By Lynn Sweet on September 10, 2008 3:47 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

WASHINGTON--- While a state senator in Illinois, Barack Obama never championed a bill intended to teach kindergartners "comprehensive sex education," contrary to accusations by John McCain on Wednesday. McCain echoed a sexy--but misleading-- line of attack made last year by George Romney and in 2004 by Alan Keyes, who Obama trounced in their U.S. Senate race.

McCain in an ad released on Wednesday tried to portray Obama as out of the mainstream when it comes to sex education. At issue is an extremist--and incorrect-- interpretation of sex ed legislation Obama backed in the Illinois state Senate.


In the new McCain spot, an announcer says "Obama's one accomplishment? Legislation to teach "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners. Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama. Wrong on education. Wrong for your family."

The facts: 1. The bill was not Obama's. The sponsors were Democrats Carol Ronen, M. Maggie Crotty, Susan Garrett , Iris Y. Martinez and Jeffrey M. Schoenberg 2. The measure never passed. 3. The legislation in several places said all sex ed had to be "age and developmentally appropriate." Obama backed teaching youngsters about inappropriate touching by strangers. 4. The bill would let parents opt out of a sex education course.

If McCain's camp had even bothered to get the facts, they should be ashamed at twisting it the way they did. If they didn't bother to get the facts, its lazy campaigning and again, shameful to make Obama out to what they did.
