McCain Palin Are Saying the Democrats are "Pushing" a Class War

Pat Oliphant Editorial Cartoons

Have you ever sat near the gate to an airplane and listened to the grumbled remarks as the First Class passenger board first?

How about the lady who ran HP and said Palin, McCain, Obama, or Biden weren't qualified to run a large corporation. The same lady who was FIRED by HP, and given a $40 million severance pay.

Yes the AIG head in the cartoon above is scheduled to receive a $5 million severance pay for failing.

McCain's wife wore $350,000 worth of dress and pearls to give her speech at the GOP convention.

The Lady Baroness Rothschild now a supporter of McCain and worth Billions of dollars (yes with a B) says that Obama is an elitist and "arrogant".

Class warfare!

It is already here.

It was renewed by Regan tax cut, and enhanced by 20 years of rePublican largess to the rich and Clintons middle of the road mildness.

It is 1930 once again. What comes next?

The Republicans are scared. They have reason. But it is not too late to pull back. Unless they keep pushing .

How much Does A President Cost These Days?

George W. Bush graced Oklahoma City with his presence Friday. He pretended to be coming to talk with small business men about Health Saving Accounts, but didn't really. That gave him legal cover to do a Tax Payer funded trip to raise money for Republican (I call them re-Publicans) candidates. Our Senator Inhoff needs money now for example to stave off a real challenge by a Democrat.

News OK . Com ( a small picture for a small event)

So how much does a President of the United States cost? I mean technically he does work "for us", doesn't he? So why should he slip into the city unseen except by those willing to pay and by some props ("regular" people and little kids) selected to meet and greet and photo op with him as he left a secure military airport? Well heck folks the man is still a rePublican and will retire soon, so he has to build up goodwill with his party and his retirement credits. Naw, he doesn't get to keep any of this money. His rewards come later, clean and laundered. Oh yes, other President have done the same thing, but none so well (Well, maybe Bill).

So, if you wanted to eat a plate of food with him, that cost $1000 and an invitation which might, just might, have cost even some more. To have your picture taken with him , well that was $500 (not counting the frame). To get some face time, some one on one access, well that cost $25,000.



Now just how is this not selling access and/or influence? Of course it is legal, the President of the United States is not going to participant in any illegal activity. But doesn't it smack of the Middle Eastern or Asian behavior?

You know like bribing the Mandarin in order to get to the Emperor. Isn't this behavior more, say, Saudi Arabian than American?



Reports are that there are 4000 Hurricane evacuees at the OKC Emergency Shelter at Reno and Council. They were there yesterday when George W. the POTUS was in the city. Wonder why he did not go by and check on them and give them some hope and warm fuzzies? Based on how much he cost these days, I guess I shouldn't wonder, they just could not afford him.
But then who can?

So how much would you pay?

Butterfly Among the Thorns

As an antidote for 9-11 I've been looking through my pictures for something....hopeful.

I chose this one of a butterfly finding sustenance among the thorns of a Flying Dragon plant.

This was taken just outside an old slave cabin preserved at the Laura Plantation on the Mississippi River, Northwest of New Orleans. The elements of the picture, the place it was taken, all , kind of said ....hope...to me.

No Justice For the Jumpers! 9-11 seven years later

It was the Jumpers.
The falling of the buildings was mind blowing.
The collapse of the Towers was unbelievable.
It was the Jumpers.
That was believable.
Those people I could identify with.
I could understand.
That I could wrap my mind around.
With them I identified.
That was what stoked my hatred.
Someone had to pay for the Jumpers!

As I look back now that is how I came to hate George W. Bush and all he was and stood for and everyone who supported him. I do mean EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED HIM. They are Shit to me.

W did not make them pay.
He dropped the ball
He went off on a personal family crusade.
He did not seek, much less obtain Justice for the Jumpers.

He left us, me, unsatisfied, unfinished, unresolved!
He is a loser. He let them get away.
Naw, don't give me back those Karl Rove (Lee Atwater Junior) talking points.
Don't you dare.

I want Justice for the JUMPERS.
I want Retribution for those who burst on the sidewalks.
I want Punishment in the name of those holding hands as they jumped together.
I want Parity of Pain given in the name of those who in flames leaped to their deaths.
I want Justice For The Jumpers.
That's all, just common justice.

McCain says if we elect him he can give it to us.
Big talk for a demented old man.
Why didn't you get it done already Mr Senator?
Besides John you smell like Bush and I hated that loser.

Obama says he can get it for us.
Can he?
I don't see the passion or the need for it in him.
You Have to NEED Justice or Revenge before you will pursue it where ever and however it needs to be pursued.

I go a bit insane on 9-11.
Just like I go insane every April 19th.
The Jumpers need Justice.
Justice for the Jumpers!
Is that really too much to ask?



Excuse me, the guys in white coats and nets are............

Where Is My Oklahoma Oil & Gas Bonus?

USA Today:
"Alaskans hit the annual oil jackpot today — and it was a gusher. Every man, woman and child in the 49th state will receive $3,269, their cut of the state's yearly oil wealth, plus a special cash bonus to offset soaring fuel costs. In all, 610,768 people are receiving the payouts.
Total purse: $1,996,600,592.
The oil royalty works out to $2,069 and the fuel rebate $1,200.
"The royalty dollars that flow through the state are the people's wealth," said Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, standing in for Gov. Sarah Palin, who was out campaigning with Sen. John McCain. "The $1,200 resource rebate goes to that philosophy."

What I want to know is why Oklahoma can not do the same thing? Now I realize that every dollar that an Alaskan gets is a dollar more that oil cost us down in the lower 49. Alaskans have added 2 billion dollars worth of cost to the contiguous 48 by taxing oil at its source.

Rather than berating them for their greed and anti-American behavior, I want to know why Oklahoma hasn't done the same thing with our oil and gas. Yes, we produce less oil than Alaska, and we have more people, but if we followed Alaska's lead and used their same formula each Oklahoman would still get about $900 per capita per year! That's a rough estimate give or take a few hundred bucks. Me and my wife would have $1,800 to vacation with, or to buy that new HD TV, or to buy a plane ticket to Alaska.

So Mr. Governor Of Oklahoma, why can't you live up to the level of the Alaska Governor? I want my windfall bonus. Don't let these out-of-State Carpetbaggers take our natural resource without paying for it! Tax Devon and Kerr, and Chesapeake, and Mesa and and and shit well even me. I've got a thousandth of a percent of one oil well. But I'll take that little bit of tax on me to screw the rest of America to get more money. Come on Oklahoma get on the band wagon soak the people of the east and west coast tax our State oil and gas output and them durn pipelines that run all over the place, dang it!

Hell, I may run for Oklahoma Governor my own self. If I can promise every man, woman, and child $900 a year if they would vote forme, I could get elected. I mean nobody has ever heard of me, but all I would have to do is put up yard signs that simply say : I'll Pay You and Yours $3,600 Each Over the Next Four Years to VOTE LOBOJO! I'll drop the DR cause I want them to think of me a common as dirt folk.

Let's tax em while they got it.
Who will support me out there?

Swiftboating Lipstick On A Pit Bull Pig

LIPSTICK! LIPSTICK! LIPSTICK! LIPSTICK! ETC. AND SO ON......
This should be the new chant for rallies where John McCain shows up alone.



The Rove inspired, if not advised rePublican trash machine has created a swift boat type effort to create the impression that Obama called Sarah Paling a Pig.
Read about it here:http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-campaign11-2008sep11,0,4703724.story



(source WSJ)

I personally have always considered that phrase sexist and stupid, and I am sorry the Obama used it. He was being dumb when he did. But no he didn't call Palin a pig and the McCain camp knows that so that is why what they are doing is dishonest and vile. Earlier this year John McCain said the exact same thing about Hillery Clinton's policies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMPYkNQlJMM

Was McCain calling Hillery a Pig. Did Sarah Palin corner the market on the word lipstick when she used it in her speech? Are some words reserved for rePulican use and not for use by Democrats lest they be swiftboated? This boggles the mind on so many levels.



Yep, even Dick Cheney has used the phrase!



If you look hard enough you can find that almost every politician has used the phrase, probably even Sarah Palin.
So maybe two good things will come out of this. Democratic hecklers can use "LIPSTICK! LIPSTICK! at McCain rallies and everybody will get so cautious about using the phrase that it will go away and then die off. One can hope so.
