Grampa McCain… are you an Elitist?

Grampa McCain... are you an Elitist?

John McCain, national hero and second-most famous person over 90 (keep on truckin, Wilford Brimley!) is also a moron. Prior to the current campaign strategy of calling Obama a ‘celebrity,’ the McCain MO was to paint Barack as an elitist. Well looky what I found:
WASHINGTON - Days after he cracked that being rich in the [...]



Shirtless at the Beach? My stars!

Shirtless at the Beach? My stars!

In what has to be the stupidest attack on anyone, ever, the McCain campaign has gone after Barack Obama for taking his shirt off and bodysurfing WHILE ON VACATION IN HAWAI’I.
To quote the campaign’s attack: “You know you may just be a global celebrity when you get this headline in Reuters, “Obama Takes Shirt Off [...]

Comparing the propaganda: McCain v Obama

In an effort to keep my gmail inbox fair and balanced, I recently signed up for McCain’s internet offerings (as I’m already in the Obama loop).
Is it just me or is McCain’s material a bit more ‘direct.’ Take a look at two recent letters from each campaign, sent August 11:
Obama:

John McCain and the Republican National [...]



My Correspondence with the Obama Campaign

My Correspondence with the Obama Campaign

I recently ordered some Obama ‘08 stickers… not so much for placing on my own property, but mainly to place on the property of those that despise the man (i.e. a co-worker here in my office). And while I missed the joy of seeing his face when he first noticed the sticker on his office [...]



Wes Clark and the Meaning of the Word “Attack”

Wes Clark and the Meaning of the Word

“I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.” -Gen. Wesley Clark, on CBS’ Face The Nation, Sunday.
What, if anything, is wrong with that statement? According to the majority of the mainstream media, a whole hell of a lot. Or there’s at least enough controversy to [...]



Branding a Candidate

Branding a Candidate

We are all consumers. It could be argued that we can more readily recognize major corporate brand symbols, such as Nike’s Swoosh, McDonald’s Arch and Apple’s…well, apple than we can recognize the current president, George Washington, how many Senators there are, or just about any other benchmark of Americanness. We are fast becoming less American [...]

Obama vs. McCain: Who be the Next President? (Share your thoughts)

Welp, as predicted, it’s Barack ‘Osama’ Obama vs. John ‘Survived-the-Civil-War’ McCain fighting for the title of El Presidente of the once-great US and A.
Predictions?
This pundit-in-training is calling this one for Obama, and here’s why:
The average voters, aka ‘Joe and Suzy Six-Pack’ are heavily influenced by the media to determine which candidate he/she would like to [...]



On to the General

On to the General

Despite what Hillary says, I’m moving on. We now have both of the nominees for the general election (and don’t forget Bob Barr, Libertarian! Ooo, and Ron Paul…something.) and it’s time to start making a decision.
So, who’s it going to be, America? The guy on the left or the guy on the right? It’s not [...]



Ten words I never want to hear again after this primary.

By Erik Hagen • May 6th, 2008 • Category: Politics
Ten words I never want to hear again after this primary.

I am hoping against hope that today will bring an end to the Never-ending Democratic Primary That Technically Ended Two Months Ago But SHHHHH Nobody Tell That To Hillary Clinton Because She’ll Get Super Pissed. I’m hoping for a definitive ending, but then again, I’m not stupid enough to actually believe it’ll happen, being that [...]
