McShame looks like he finally made up his mind to collaborate with the enemy ?

Perhaps, a good spirtual adviser could reduce the shell shock !

Heck, if you can't shake the flash-backs why not engage in a 100 year war ?

PATHETIC 'family values' !

HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2008 !

...ENQUIRER BIAS ALERT...ENQUIRER BIAS ALERT...

*THIS* is the only picture of Senator McCain that the hack reporters at the Stinkwire could find?!

Compare Senator McCain's photo with the one of Senator Brown on the *same* Enquirer blog. It's obvious and pathetic to see the dinosaur media playing games with the candidates. Nearly every shot of Barry Hussein Obama makes him look like the black messiah, while Hillary and McCain are made to look bad as often as possible.

There is no longer any justification for the news media in this country to even pretend that the Republican Party is a serious and legitimate political organization. It stands for nothing except enriching its members at public expense. Te Democrats' actions with Mark Dann compared to the GOP rewarding their crooked and perverted members is a stark contrast. The GOP shouldbe given the same contempt and scrutiny as the Mafia. Actually, the Mafia oes a better job of controlling its members and providing services to those in need.

John McCain says he's a defender of democracy. But the folks running his campaign have been playing for the other team.

Two of John McCain's senior campaign staff were forced to resign this week after revelations that their lobbying firm was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to represent Burma's brutal military dictatorship.

And it gets worse—turns out this goes all the way to the top. Charlie Black, McCain's campaign chairman, ran a lobbying firm that represented brutal dictators like Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire—along with terrorist rebel Jonas Savimbi in Angola. Together, these men have been responsible for massive human suffering.

And for good measure, Charlie Black has represented war profiteer Blackwater Worldwide and Iraqi fraudster Ahmed Chalabi.

PATHETIC 'family values' !

HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2008 !

Miss. Democrat wins House seat in GOP stronghold

http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0508/Childers_wins_Miss_special_election.html

Democrats picked up a northern Mississippi House seat in one of the most conservative-minded districts in the country Tuesday night -- an upset that will reverberate darkly through a House Republican caucus already reeling from losses in special elections in Illinois and Louisiana.

With all precincts reporting, the Democratic nominee, Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis Childers, defeated Republican Greg Davis, 54 to 46 percent. Childers was able to expand his three-point margin of victory from the race's first round of balloting last month -- even as he faced an onslaught of Republican attacks.

The victory marks the Democrats’ third straight special election pickup in three months. It will be a serious blow to the Republican Party’s already-flagging morale and will surely prompt a new round of finger-pointing among the already fractured GOP caucus.

"This loss is going to prompt serious introspection by our conference to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it," said a GOP leadership aide. "We have time to do that, and we will if we learn our lessons leading into November. But the next couple of days are not going to be pretty."

The special election was held to fill the seat of former Rep. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), who was appointed to serve out the remainder of Sen. Trent Lott’s term last December. Wicker had never faced a competitive race since first elected in 1994, and the district gave President Bush 62 percent of the vote in 2004.

The results amount to a rebuke of the Republican strategy of trying nationalize the race by tying Childers to Sen. Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Obama held low approval ratings in the district, but the nearly $2 million that GOP groups poured into northern Mississippi failed to make the race a referendum on the national political landscape.

Republicans dispatched a lineup of heavy hitters in the campaign’s final week, including a pre-election stop Monday by Vice President Dick Cheney. President Bush, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and First Lady Laura Bush recorded automated calls urging voters to support Davis.

A GOP House leadership aide told Politico last week that “if we don’t win in Mississippi, I think you are going to see a lot of people running around here looking for windows to jump out of.”

The $1.27 million that the NRCC spent in the heavily Republican district amounted to nearly 20 percent of the committee's entire cash-on-hand. The committee has now spent more than $3 million to defend three conservative House seats, losing all three of them, and it is ill-equipped financially to compete fully in an ever-widening playing field for November.

For his part, Childers effectively downplayed the national implications of the contest, instead framing the race as a geographic battle between his home base in the 20 largely rural counties in the northeast corner of Mississippi and Davis’ base in the newer and fast-growing Memphis suburbs.

Childers improved upon last month's performance in most of the district’s smaller rural counties and his home county of Prentiss, and he managed to cut slightly into Davis’ margin of victory in his home base around the South Memphis suburbs.

"His victory has sent a political thunderbolt across America tonight," DCCC chairman Chris Van Hollen said in a statement. "It is yet another rejection of the House Republican agenda, the Bush Administration’s misguided policies, and John McCain’s campaign for a third Bush term."

According to the Washington Post:

"We will attack Obama viciously on all fair issues, whether they are national security, whether they are taxes or the economy," promised Chris LaCivita, one of the Republican strategists behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that attacked Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry in 2004.

"Viciously." It sickens me to read that.

Was wondering, since the Enquirer has such a cozy relationship with Swift Boat financier Carl Lindner, if someone could give him a ring and ask him if he intends to finance the Swift Boaters again this year.

I guess he got a pretty good return on 2004's investment, but... wow... the company you keep and all that...

Many thanks.

Democratic Congressman - Elect Travis Childers is going to Washington. His stunning victory -- the third straight Democratic win in a ruby-red district -- has sent the wrong wingnut whackos reeling yet again.

Democrats are now 3-for-3!

There is no way for the G-roping O-ld P-edophiles to spin this. They brought in Dick Cheney and their shadowy groups. And the results speak for themselves.

Even Dick Cheney, with all of his Halliburton-backed Big Oil money was no match for the nationwide grassroots movement for change that Democrats lead. One-by-one Democrats are painting America blue this year.

Here is the scorecard for 2008 so far:

Illinois' 14th District, the seat represented by the former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert for more than 20 years -- won by Democratic Congressman Bill Foster.

Louisiana's 6th District, a seat that the Republicans held for the past three decades -- won by Democratic Congressman Don Cazayoux.

Mississippi's 1st District, a seat that George Bush won by more than 60% in 2000 and 2004 -- won by Democratic Congressman-Elect Travis Childers.

It is all because the wRong wingnut whackos have:

PATHETIC 'family values' !

John McCain/Rob Portman will beat Obama/Hamas in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Missouri, and possibly even Michigan.

Hamas-endorsed Barry Hussein Obama has alienated Reagan Democrats and John McCain will scoop them up to win the presidency by a fairly comfortable margin.

The little GOPervert Cow Chippers have their panties in a bunch today!

The GOP is freaking out after losing three 'safe', long time reTHUGlican seats in a row to Dems.

Things look so dire for the GOP that former House GOP leader Rep. Tom Davis just wrote a 20-page treatise assessing the state of the Republican Party:

"a congressional GOP brand tied to George Bush is struggling"; deep seeded antipathy toward the president, the war, gas prices, the economy, foreclosures and, in some areas, the underlying cultural differences that continue to brand our party."

And the kicker: "the Republican brand is in the trash can, if we were dog food, they would take us off the shelf."

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/14/1022156.aspx

Keep flinging your dung, Cow Chippers, you are simply turning the voters against you more and more every single day.

GOP = TOAST
