A note for concern trolls of a certain stripe.

Who warn about some nebulous Obama weakness that McCain will exploit in the GE.

The facts of life are that the wide stance party is about to self-destruct in a Wagnerian fashion. John McCain == Winfield Scott, last Whig to run for president.

John McCain is the best they've got, and they are poised to be trashed in congress to the tune of veto proof or near veto proof Dem majorities.

Fox news is heading for the basement.

This latest bit of shit about Obama and coke is an example of a doomed political movement thrashing about because the hind brain hasn't died yet. And if it can happen to the third way, can the neocons and theocons be far behind?

So, how likely is McCain to bring up drug use?
Not bloody likely.

That's strictly third way property.

1. I would think not, considering Cindy's issues and

McCain's fidelity issues.

[Kittycat]

2. Darn, and I was hoping we could talk about her stealing from the Red Cross and all.

:(

[Fovea]

3. Worse...

It was her own medical charity she stole from.

[cliffordu]

4. But-but-but SHE'S WHITE and they were prescription drugs....

most white folks won't care about her transgressions. Everybody has an aunt who likes the pills, right??

[AlCzervik]

5. oh i don't know about that, we had a girlscout troop leader who stole money from her

own troops, that did not go over well,. after she served 2 months she literally moved out of town. People don't take too kindly to those who steal from charities or children.

[cliffordu]

6. God, The GIRL SCOUTS??? man....

[AlCzervik]

7. yup, swear to zod the towns folk were going to round up a posse and go after her.

i was a girlscout troop leader at the time as well and even as jaded as i am i still found the whole thing shocking and sad.

[Art_from_Ark]

8. What did she do?

Abscond with the cookie money?

[AlCzervik]

10. that and the money they had in their bank account, she forged the signature of the other

troop leader and took a couple of hundred bucks from the account in addition to al the cookie money.

[Art_from_Ark]

14. Wow, that's just so...strange

I wonder what the background to that story is

[AlCzervik]

16. it's happened before, it's usually greed.

[Garbo 2004]

11. Not everyone has a aunt who's a multimillion dollar heiress who steals from her own charity and

avoids the slammer due to political influence.

[JianSay]

9. i think he might

[Garbo 2004]

12. Haven't we seen you before? LOL n/t

[Skittles]

13. he might, knowing the corporate media only holds Democrats responsible

think we all would have heard about the prescription drug/theft thing had it been Ms. Obama instead of Ms. McCain?

[JianSay]

15. god is in control

[Skittles]

17. you MUST be a repuke

yes INDEED :o

[havocmom]

18. dog is your autopilot

You gonna be here all week? :popcorn:

[chknltl]

20. made it to 22 posts so far...got his first thread locked...

second one is about to be locked! I've been researching this troll...yep TROLL...this one is looking to flame out soon! I must admit he has been a spectacular firework though....kinda amusing.
On edit...JianSays never got past 22 posts before munching granite...

[havocmom]

19. IF there were some nebulous weakness which could have some material proof

She who must be prom queen would have thrown it at him already. She seems to be outta sinks.

[Hippo_Tron]

21. The Wright shit is the best they had and it has done its damage

And done so leaving Obama tied in most swing states with 10% still undecided ripe for Obama to win over when he goes to campaign there.

Seriously what's left? Bill Ayers? The best that will do is motivate the right wingers to show up.

[PoliticalAmazon]

22. I think Bob Barr is going to do big damage to McCain....

The media will have to include him in the debates, since there is only one third-party candidate, and Barr IMO won't go after Obama.

Nope, Barr's going to go after McCain big-time. Barr has a real bur up his ass about the GOP and how they've supported invasion of privacy and weakening of states' rights.

Barr is an old-school Barry Goldwater Republican, and many GOP voters are going to be relieved to hear his message because they don't like the changes in the GOP.

So, McCain's not going to bring up drug use (because of Cindy), and Obama's not going to (because it does not fit with his "politics of change" message), but Bob Barr WILL bring up drug use...specifically, drug use in the form of stealing medications from a charity.

Barr has a HUGE plot of anger--which he patiently tends and helps grow--against the GOP, and he will love taking down McCain, who Barr sees as a poster-boy for everything that has gone wrong with the GOP.

Just my opinion, based on patterns and history.

[Fovea]

23. I got that feeling too, that Barr is so angry that his spit

starts small fires.

And even without Barr, McSame is toast. Why? Because everyone he represents has, over the past eight years, has literally thrown democracy to the dogs. And worse, even Faux viewers have figured it out.

Bob Barr will appeal to paleocons who miss trite antiquities like the Magna Carta.

[AngryAmish]

24. I'm concerned that this post is divisive
