John McCain is spitting ANGER....I really want to see him go over a cliff tonight.
Next Topic!
GREAT QUESTION....making both candidates defend their Vice Presidential choices.
Good answer from Obama...brings home Joe Biden's HEART.
John McCain on Sarah...a bunch of creap if you really study her record. I want Obama to GO AFTER HER. McCain calls her a breath of fresh air, meanwhile she was just found guilty of an Abuse of Power, and is still under investigation for it.
Obama just SCORED BIG....under McCain budget freeze, autistic children would suffer.
WOW...just in from twitter: sendchocolate I used to LIKE McCain. I did. But he sold his soul for this office. He is NOTHING now...just a shill who wants to die in the Oval Office
HERE IS A NEWS FLASH....you cannot build 45 Nuclear reactors right away.
Halfway home folks, and McCain's anger is spilling out of my television and onto the living room rug.

OH GOD...McCain is Back on Town Hall Meetings GRIPE
Give us a break...McCain hits on Lewis! What about Al Austin? One of the most influential members of the GOP in Florida sent out a joke today about assassinating both Michele and Barack Obama!
McCain just brought up the campaign financing issue....OLD NEWS
OBAMA is scoring BIG! He did not really go NEGATIVE on this question, which he very well could have.
McCain again goes negative, and also uses sports! He is WHINING.
John McCain is losing it! He just sighed off camera.
John McCain just said he repediated everyone that has gotten out of line....LIAR What about Al Austin, what about the Noose/Obama internet posting?
AYAR's just came up!
OH GIVE ME A BREAK! John McCain, what about your own ties to Acorn?

Spreading Wealth Around
Here is a clue...over 90 percent of the Bush tax cuts went to THE UBER RICH, and so would McCain's tax cuts. WAKE UP Joe The Plumber!
Maybe it is time we spread the wealth around some...it is obvious that the Ronal Reagan, George W. Bush, John McCain trickle down economics has not worked for the lower and middle class.
On deficit reduction...
Obama on subject-he is stickig to his stump speech talking points, so far is not letting McCain rattle him in any fashion.
McCain is AVOIDING the second question by going right to his stump points. Further, his spending freeze is a RED HERRING...he wants to FREEZE Social programs, while allowing the military budget to BLOSSOM.
We are almost 1/3 of the way into this debate, and nothing is new, and John McCain is not even close to a knock out punch. Men in the undecided group (green line) are liking the budget freeze rhetoric. Women are not.
End of second post...boring debate, but Obama is winning.

First Live Debate Post
Everyone has been briefed, the instructions have been delivered, and the debate IS ON!
(Taking a quick gulp of Scotch...) Thought I would get my first John McCain "friends"shot in ahead of schedule.
10 minutes until the live blog at www.twitter.com/thefix
Betting that McCain gets the economy, middleclass and "My Friends" all in his opening sentence.
Bob just said hello, so HERE WE GO!
Wall Street...BAM, right to the ECONOMY.
McCain STILL CANNOT LOOK AT OBAMA...Americans are angry. Is blaming the whole economy problem on Fannie and Freddie, which is bull chit. He wants to buy up bad mortgages at full RETAIL...what about those of us who have been slammed that would get NOTHING in the short term out of such a plan.
Obama...right out with worse financial crisis siince Great Depression. Obama wants to help home owners, but in a different fashion.
So far, NOTHING NEW.
McCain going after Obama via the Ohio Plumber. Promises him he will keep his taxes lowe. Joe needs to do some homework!

Al Austin of Tampa...is he a BIGOT? a Racist? a LIAR?
Hey Al Austin, got some questions for you.
You were the Tampa-St. Petersburg’s 2008 GOP National Convention Host Committee CHAIRMAN, and you are the CEO of Austin Companies. Do you really expect us as Americans to believe you did not READ a racist bigoted joke before you sent it out to your TOP SECRET inner circle GOP email list? You sir are a FUCKING LIAR.
Further, you sent out a joke that has both Michele and Barack Obama being assassinated! Do you find that FUNNY you sick twisted FUCK?
Tell me Mr. Pillar of the GOP, Mr. Super Republican FUND RAISER and supposedly well respected Tampa Businessman, do you hate BLACK PEOPLE?
YOU NEED TO OWN YOUR SHIT! Stop trying to act like your forwarding of that racist joke was simply a ill fated mistake on your part. Further, what kind of racist sheet wearing friends to you spend time with to have even RECIEVED THAT RACIST JOKE?

Yes, I am PISSED, and find your actions VILE AND DISGUSTING. It is my sincere hope that Tampa and the Business world sees you for what you truly are, holds you accountable for sending such a repugnant racist joke out to your friends in the Republican Party. If the reporter had ANY BALLS, he'd release the names on your inner cirlce email tree, would tell us as a nation who the other two culprits are that also were mailing this joke around in the Grand Old Republican Party. You SIR disgust me!
Al Austin
Tampa, 75, CEO, Austin Cos.
A pioneer developer of the Westshore business district in Tampa, Austin is the finance chairman for the Republican Party of Florida. He's had a leadership role in every Republican presidential campaign in Florida since 1972. A member of the Florida Electoral College in the 2000 election, Austin has achieved "super ranger" status this election cycle, collecting at least $300,000 for the Republican National Committee and another $200,000 for the Bush-Cheney campaign, according to Public Citizen. Austin serves as chairman of the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority and is on the board advising Jeb Bush or military base realignments and closures.

Jeffrey M. (Bigot Boy) Frederick Compares Obama to Bin Laden
Hey Jeffrey, here is a clue, you could not even carry my Jock Strap you low life sleeze ball bigoted snot nosed idiot! How dare you compare Senator Barack Obama to Osama Bin Laden, how dare you ruthlessly and calculatingly inflame racial hatred in a feeble attempt at scoring a few political points with the back room cigar smokers in the GOP. If the state of Virginia Republican Party has ANY DIGNITY, they will demand your immediate resignation as Chairman of the state party. If the citizens of Virginia (which I think they do) have any dignity and honor, they will see to it that you are NEVER AGAIN involved in their states politics, never again have a political platform from which to spew your HATE SPEECH.
Del. Jeffrey M. (Bigot Boy) Frederick heads Virginia's GOP.

Va. Party Leader Criticized, Including By McCain Team
By Tim Craig
Washington Post Staff WriterMonday, October 13, 2008; Page B01
RICHMOND -- The chairman of the Virginia Republican Party has compared Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden because of the Illinois senator's past association with Bill Ayers, who has confessed to domestic bombings as a member of the Vietnam War-era Weather Underground.
Virginia Democrats, and some Republicans, are outraged, saying these are the latest in a series of inflammatory statements that the GOP has made against Obama in Virginia, a state that has emerged as a crucial battleground in the election.

Up Date On Noose Man's Blog
Just visited the The Libertarian Paleo-Conservative blog where the Obama/Noose post was originally posted. Found the comments section discussion of his removing the post rather interesting, and am sharing it below. Paleo-Conservative still justifies as tit for tat, in his words, "I was simply making a point and doing exactly what the left is doing to Sarah Palin." He goes further to state, "I removed it because of the Cyber-Lynching that was going on by the Liberal Blogsophere." This man has a keen talent for using racially charged words! If you are over 40 and hear the word Lynching, what visual image comes to your mind? As I pointed out earlier today, this man SHOWS NO REMORSE, but instead seems to have taken the picture down out of fear, fear of what could happen if in fact he did cross a line that puts him in legal hot water with the authorities.
Well, it is gone. I’ll tell you why. The point of the posting was being lost and the post itself was becoming the story. Which I never wanted to happen.
The point is, I made the far left have a knee jerk reaction. I also gave them something to talk about.
Again, as I stated in the actual posting itself, I never, ever wished any harm come to Obama, at all. I was simply making a point and doing exactly what the left is doing to Sarah Palin.
That is all, nothing more to see, move along…

God To Sarah Palin...Global Warming Is Caused By Man and Woman
Sarah Palin needs to wake up to reality...99 percent of Alaska's Glaciers ARE MELTING in a BIG WAY according to the US Geological Survey released this week. Sure this is more BAD NEWS for the McCain Campaign since Sarah Palin has the ODD VIEW that Global Warming and Climate change is NOT CAUSED BY MAN.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Most glaciers in every mountain range and island group in Alaska are experiencing significant retreat, thinning or stagnation, especially glaciers at lower elevations, according to a new book published by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Alaskan glaciers are found in 11 mountain ranges, one large island, one island chain, and one archipelago. "More than 99 percent of Alaska's large glaciers are retreating," said the book "The Glaciers of Alaska," authored by USGS research geologist Bruce Molnia.
The report uses a combination of satellite images, aerial photographs, and maps, supported by the scientific literature, to document the distribution and behavior of glaciers throughout Alaska.
"It represents a comprehensive overview of the state of the glaciers of Alaska at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century," USGS said in a statement on Monday.

Time For American Money To Stay In America...Disband "Overseas Private Investment Corporation" OPIC
As stated in an earlier article, the time has come for our Congress to disband the OPIC (Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and keep American Money IN AMERICA, working for America. If you wonder how much of our money is steered overseas through this quasi governmental organization, all you have to do is start looking. I found over 4,000 web sites that link to the OPIC, most of them foreign countries, or US Embassies in Foreign counties, with the occassional bank thrown in for good measure...visiting some of these sites, examing some of the PUBLIC ACCESS DOCUMENTS is and eye opener. I have taken the liberty of posting some of the links in this article.
Further, in one of the documents found, I saw a break down of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in countries from around the world...again, I have taken the liberty of posting some of the figures in this article. What is apparent, is the time has come for OUR MONEY to STAY AT HOME, it is time for America, and American companies to invest in America, rather than having our government helping them with the use of our tax dollars to build infrastructure in foreign lands, to outsource American jobs and manufacture to foreign countries, many of which ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS. Write your elected officials and demand the dismantling of OPIC! *note-we have up to 25 MILLION illegal aliens wrongfully working in America, the majority of them from Mexico...why is the OPIC lending them assistance, and backing up their efforts with our TAX DOLLARS....

Get used to this. Once Obama is elected, and his “CrimeThink” citizen vigilante squads hit the streets, the P.C. 90s will seem like the good old days!

Thank you for removing that post. I hope someday we can all have a decent conversation about our ideas and quit calling each other names and overreacting to every little thing. It doesn’t do any good. Like I said, I’m a liberal, but no damn Commie, and I hate the PC shit as much as you. But I’m an American and there’s some things supporters are doing on both sides that isn’t good for the country. That’s what I want to talk about–what’s good for the country. Not who got the worst/best/last “shot” in. You don’t have to post this comment, just know I send my thanks for a good deed.

Sherri,
I removed it because of the Cyber-Lynching that was going on by the Liberal Blogsophere.
I am beginning to see that we do live in a fascist state.

I find cowardly behavior annoying. Understandable, but annoying. You should not have taken it down. I can respect an unapologetically bigoted stance . I don’t agree, but I can respect you take your stand and don’t back down. Its a free country, and you’re allowed to say it. So own your stuff.
But what do you do? You take it down, because you didn’t have the courage of your conviction. You KNEW when you posted the image that its impact is fueled by the history of racist unjust lynching murders of blacks in America. You understand the implicit threat in the imagery. You knew this. But you were happy to trade on that to make some sort of point, to provoke a “knee jerk” reaction, as though this were clever, rather than merely obvious.
Your point in doing it presumably was that the Left is attacking Palin in similar heinous fashion. And your first instinct in response is to suggest Obama be lynched? At BEST that makes you equally as asinine as those on the left you protest. It certainly doesn’t make you any better. You rail against the stricture of PC think , but your imagery here is not politically incorrect. Its racist. I’m NOT saying that YOU are a racist. I AM saying that you were more than willing to trade on overtly and obvious racist threat imagery to make a point. If you’re a decent human being that ought to bother you that you thought that was okay.
I imagine in the course of your daily life there may be a variety of black people you come into contact in passing. Co-workers, waitress at the local diner, security guard at a building downtown, other parents at your kid’s school, a neighbor kid.
Do you think if you showed that to them and said you were just trying to make a point that it would go over okay? Do you think they might look at you different after that? Do you find it hard to believe that the average black person you showed that image to and told them you made it might immediately think ” If he would suggest lynching Obama, he would suggest lynching me too”.
Well, it is gone. I’ll tell you why. The point of the posting was being lost and the post itself was becoming the story. Which I never wanted to happen.
Really? I don’t believe that. You KNEW you were trading on racist threat imagery. You used that imagery ON PURPOSE. You thought about it and chose to use it. Its a slick looking graphic, you put some time and effort into it, worked on it to get it just right. You had to marinate with the imagery a bit. Obama looks positively sinister in the photo, so you either retouched it or spent some time really looking for a photo that would give you that look.
The point was lost? Really? You run a cool looking website, advertisers and everything, way more popular than mine, so you are a smart guy. Did you really think that people would see this imagery and glean some sophisticated intellectual point from it, instead of the racist threat? I believe you are a smart guy, so I don’t really think you believed that when you made it. Given the slick looking end product, I think you eagerly leaped at the opportunity to use this imagery and make it as high impact as you could.
Whats that about? I mean, I’m likely to be totally dismissed by you and perhaps your readers, but before you do, humor me and just sit with that question for a sec. It did not bother you to trade on this racist imagery, you worked hard to make it shocking and scary and threatening and YOU WERE COOL WITH THAT. I’ll bet if I sat down and had a beer with you, you’re a decent enough guy. So how come this was cool with you?
Now you’ve taken it down. Why? Because more people seem to rebuke you for the obvious racist threat of the imagery you purposely used than praised you for the political point you were trying to make? Where is the courage of your convictions? You had the stones to put it up and you knew what it was when you did it.
It would have been a point in your favor if you got some heat on this, you regretted going this route and therefore took it down. That would mean your decency won out.
Doesn’t seem that way from this post though. This post makes you sound cowardly because you took some heat for the graphic that you created on purpose to upset people. You got what you wanted, but now you don’t want it, because you don’t like the downside that came with it (boycott threats, being called racist and so on) because you’re really a good guy.
If you really think you had a legit point to make, put the post back up and defend your position rather than complain about the injustice of PC think. Own it and everything that comes with it.

Well, Aaron. I thank you for you comments. I guess you could say that I am owning it at this point. The secret service has not shown up. But I do have the knot in my stomach. I do wish now that I had stay out of the fray. But I guess that’s no longer an issue.
I mainly pulled it, because the point was lost and the picture was becoming the story.
For what it is worth, I am NOT, nor have I ever been a racist. I have zero against Obama. I just don’t agree with his politics.
Again, thanks for the comments. Man, I now wish I’d just stay out of the fray…

The service probably won’t come. You probably got enough free speech cover. If they do, they’ll probably just talk to you stern. Might get in a database or something like that which kinda sucks, but should not really be an inconvenience. They deal with this enough to know the difference between this and somebody trying to do some harm. I actually think you have a better free speech defense if you leave it up though and let them compel you to take it down. I dunno, ask your lawyer.
Tone wise, You sound like that kid who hacked Palin’s email. You probably have not risked 5 years in jail though. Too bad about the crap you’re getting, but you went looking for a reaction. What can I say?

Ha! I might be into a good number of things. But leaving something up, that’s in a legal gray area just to piss off the Government is NOT one of them. I like my freedom.
I’m not much into taunting uncle Sam. That might be someone else’s bag, but not mine!

Also….
I would, but I don’t have one. Shit, I couldn’t even afford one. Not having a job since 2005, does have it’s downside.

“Not having a job since 2005, does have it’s downside.”
Why have you been unemployed for three years?

The short version is, I tried a career change, and that didn’t work out. Got a job that my cousins told me about had to quit because it was making me physically sick. This was long before I started blogging.
