IS THIS THE PRELUDE FOR THE NAKED EMPEROR TO SUSPEND THE ELECTION

DUE TO THE ‘ECONOMIC CRISIS’

HE CREATED?

OR HAS McSHAME FINALLY COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT  ‘YOU CAN’T MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OF A SOW’S EAR’?

WASHINGTON, D.C.- For decades, Republicans have had all the fun, eroding the barrier between personal beliefs and public policy and legislating their own faith-based morality as a means of consolidating power. But now another politically active religious group is coming forward and asking for their turn to team up with the GOP to dictate how other people will live their lives- Devil worshipers. That’s right. As it happens, followers of Satan have become a formidable voting bloc in this country since the late 90’s and could soon rise up to challenge evangelical Christians for their place in the GOP hierarchy.

Seems like a perfect match except eating the baby thing. NeoNuts want babies to grow up so they can be starved, taught to automatically agree with everything they say and either be tortured to death, and or worked to death, in sweat shops. Damn pansy ass Satanists want to eat them first? No veal-like humans before you finish all the poor and less than politically incorrect people on your plate!

“In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail — not the tail that wags the dog.”
– Lewis Carroll

“Welcome to the conservative’s worst nightmare: The law of unintended consequences. Why? Nobody wants to admit it, folks, but the conservatives’ grand ideology is backfiring, actually turning the world’s greatest capitalistic democracy into the world’s newest socialist economy.”
– Paul B. Ferrell, “11 reasons America’s a new socialist economy,” MarketWatch, July 22, 2008.

“The US economy had better have luck on its side. Luck is about all it has left.”
– Clive Crook, “Only Luck Can Save America’s Economy,” Financial Times, Aug. 3, 2008.

Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chief Ben Bernanke are a couple of dimwitted chuckleheads who shouldn’t be in any position of authority related to solving this current GOP-generated economic catastrophe. Either Paulson and Bernanke didn’t see it coming, in which case they were asleep at the switch; or they did see it coming, and did nothing to stop it. Either way, they are useless at effecting a solution; both should be handed their walking papers. Good replacements might be Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research as Treasury Secretary – he appreciated the danger of the approaching tsunami years ago – and Princeton economist Paul Krugman for the Fed. NY Times columnist Krugman also had to brains to read the signs indicating that the bridge is out up ahead and we were entering the Twilight Zone financially long before most of the various Up with People-Eaters ‘experts’ on The Street realized we were cruising to sure doom. Paulson and Bernanke should exit quickly with their heads held in shame, lucky they haven’t been forced to walk the plank for their egregious ignorance and incompetence. Oh, and the Bush Boy? Keep making speeches about the economy you still don’t understand, Junior, and reminding voters why they don’t need another neoconservative Republican in the White House next year.

The current economic meltdown, which some of us left-wing nuts like Mike Whitney and yours truly have been predicting for years, is the direct result of neoconservative policies, starting with Ronald Reagan. When Reagan said government is the problem, he apparently forgot that the government of the United States is of, by and for the people, so he was actually saying that ‘we the people’ are the problem. And so we are – if not for our demands that rapacious corporations and the greedy wealthy obey the laws, pay us and treat us fairly, and otherwise conduct themselves with some modicum of decency, the Corprocracy could have a field day, in the same way the Mafia could prosper wildly if there weren’t any ‘regulations’ governing their activities. For the last 25 years, the neoconservative Republicans, and especially John McCain, have successfully done all that they could to deregulate banks, business and the markets and it has culminated in the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression, as even one of the ardent handmaidens of the collapse, flank-coverer Alan Greenspan, recently confessed. This is also a failure of F.A. von Hayek, Milton Friedman, Paul Wolfowitz, Grover Norquist and every other neoconservative jackass who has come down the pike banging the drum for the delusion of trickle-down wealth, the deception of free international trade, the hallucination of cheap privatized government services, and the myth of self-regulating markets.

What’s a Word for the Opposite of Progress? Palin.

17 September 2008

by: Cynthia Boaz, t r u t h o u t | Perspective

Late last week, the first round of post-RNC convention polls showed that John McCain was the beneficiary of a generous 11-point bump in public approval. Most of this shift is attributable to previously undecided voters who’ve broken in McCain’s favor. The reason given by the vast majority as to what precipitated their decision: Palin. Amongst these voters, three subgroups emerged as overwhelmingly shifting to the McCain/Palin ticket over the Obama/Biden one in the past week: women, Catholics, and self-identified moderates. At first glance, these changes in opinion might seem unsurprising given the intensely populist tone that pervaded every convention speech from Monday through Thursday. But look below the surface, and these shifts seem positively surreal. Is it possible that voters have, once again, been duped by the Rovian rhetoric machine? Are we really as gullible as the GOP seems to think? Apparently so.

John McCain’s Road to Perdition

It was almost shocking. Not quite the real thing, because we’re largely desensitized to the unremitting pageantry of Republican racketeering, a bit like professional electricians who’ve been zapped so many times they scarcely even notice the sting of live voltage.

But it was, let’s just say, an eye-opener:

There, Friday morning, appeared John McCain on “The View,” confessing to attempted political blackmail as a defense against the charges of slander, libel, swindling, fraud, misrepresentation, mythomania, confidence gaming and character defamation.

Taxpayer: You Owe Feds $1,000,000,000,000 + Interest

from www.breadwithcircus.com

The privately owned Federal Reserve Bank is about to wave its magic wand and create, with just a few keystrokes, over one trillion dollars. This money will be lent to the Bush Junta, at interest of course, in order to solve the crisis currently engulfing US financial institutions. What is happening, in summary, is that a few CEO’s made billions of dollars on shady deals, and now a private company called the Federal Reserve is going to own your great-grandchildren. (more…)

Uh-oh.

Gov. Sarah Palin is now talking about “a Palin and McCain administration.”

This video from a Palin event today catches the vice presidential nominee putting herself before John McCain on the ticket. Check out the video and read more here from ABC News.
