Granted, I think the Republican party is an affliction

Remember the Gruniad's brainstorm in 2004?

My fellow non-Americans ...:
. . . a unique scheme to match individual Guardian readers to individual American voters, giving you the opportunity to write a personal letter, citizen to citizen, explaining why this election matters to you, and which issues you think ought to matter to the US electorate. It may even be a chance to persuade somebody to use their vote at all.

To maximise the likelihood of your efforts making a difference, we've zeroed in on one of the places where this year's election truly will be decided: Clark County, Ohio, which is balanced on a razor's edge between Republicans and Democrats. the places where this year's election truly will be decided: Clark County, Ohio, which is balanced on a razor's edge between Republicans and Democrats. . . .

To inform you on this point, the author Michael Tomasky is an American — a native of West Virginia who now lives in New York. So he’s an American America-hater.

One of ours then. I stand corrected. Although he seems the perfect Guardian/BBC type.

I find it amazing that McCain has managed to hang with Obama when Obama has the entire media establishment in his pocket. It is a measure of both how much their influence has faded and how much worse Obama is than McCain.

And now they are starting to panic. This is going to accelerate Obama’s already steep decline.

Wasn’t it the guardian that published voter’s addresses in OH for Kerry in 04? I got a bunch of addresses from them, mailed them pretty FL postcards and asked them to vote for BUSH! hehehe

What maroons.

...after witnessing a decent, bright young man beaten to a pulp and too gentlemanly to shove back...

Of whom do you speak?

the left is pushing mccain to the right

Thank you, the left. And thank you McCain for finally, in a small way, knowing, finally, that you cannot reach out to this enemy. And thank you longtermmemmory for pointing it out.

You know, I'm not sensing a lot of tolerance here.

In fact, this sounds very much like hate speech.

Where is the respect for diversity of opinions?

“Does being a jerk work?”

Ask Obama on November 3.

But even given that, the political analyst part of my brain ...

That would be the neuron right between the "slobbering sycophant" left hemisphere and the "need more crack" right hemisphere of his brain.

See post #39 - Sorry for being so obtuse;)

Was speaking of Dubya - but good manners never helped father or son....decency, it seems is considered a character flaw.

I’m hoping the moonbats in the propaganda press burn their newspapers to the ground after nobama loses.

No need to be sorry.

I believe, if McCain is elected POTUS he will not suffer those fools gladly or graciously.

One can only hope. As for me, I'm down to a one-half shred of decency concerning the demomarxist party right now.

All I see now is BITS and in Tom Daschle's own words, "I am deeply saddened".

I had to look up the word “mephitic”. It means poisonous. If anything is mephitic it is the MSM.
