1. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a bold-faced lie.
And this is yet another lie. I wish Beezelbub would drag him, Rove, and the entire lying, thieving, molesting, murdering Republican Party down to hell already.

3. Obama said in August, "I will win."

======================================
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Obama_I_will_win.html


A confident Barack Obama raised an extraordinary $7.8 million Sunday at three California fundraisers, most of it in large checks to a Democratic Party committee.

“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300 at his third event of the evening, according to the pool report.

He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."

6. Yeah, you say those kinds of things in August. Not October.
Isn't that how politics usually works?

8. It's one thing to express confidence; "guarantee" is a dangerous word
it implies McCain might be privy to something we are not.

But I think he's just trying to mess with everyone's heads as he goes out.

17. McCain only guaranteed "a very close race."
"I guarantee you that, two weeks from now, you will see this has been a very close race. And I believe that I'm going to win it."

4. No worries there. Obama is too smart to EVER say that.
This is McCain's last chance to go down playing PsyOps with the voters keeping him away from the WH. His own version of f-you.

9. No Shit!

I want to hear a message of hope and change... a clear, concise, and passionate argument for the future of America - an undeniable piece of magic.

Then I want all my brothers and sisters on deck pulling out all the stops to push this election over the top. We need to give the Democratic party a clear mandate to change this nation for the better.

Its about Barack Obama, its about a veto proof Congress, and its about the Supreme fucking Court.

Its now or never gang, lets bring this one home.

YES. WE. CAN.




edit = typo

14. He's not that stupid. McAnus, on the other hand, obviously IS that
stupid, or that confident in his party's ability to steal this one too.

15. People. McLiar said he would "guarantee" that the race would be close.
He did not say he would "guarantee we will win." He is delusional. He is grasping to make a confident statement to his base so that they don't abandon him and make him look like an even bigger wreck than he already is.

The only "guarantee" McLiar should make is that he will be doubled up on his Depends on November 4th at about 11pm ET when the race begins to be called for "that one."
