McCain Strongly Rejected Long-Term Iraq Presence: "Bring Them All Home"
When it comes to getting U.S. troops out of Iraq, Sen. John McCain was for the idea before he was against it. Three years before the Arizona Republican argued on the campaign trail that U.S. forces could be in Iraq for 100 years in the absence of violence, he decried the very concept of a long-term troop presence. In fact, when asked specifically if he thought the U.S. military should set up shop in Iraq along the lines of what has been established in post-WWII Germany or Japan -- something McCain has repeatedly advocated during the campaign -- the senator offered nothing short of a categorical "no." "I would hope that we could bring them all home," he said on MSNBC. "I would hope that we would probably leave some military advisers, as we have in other countries, to help them with their training and equipment and that kind of stuff." Host Chris Matthews pressed McCain on the issue. "You've heard the ideological argument to keep U.S. forces in the Middle East. I've heard it from the hawks. They say, keep United States military presence in the Middle East, like we have with the 7th Fleet in Asia. We have the German...the South Korean component. Do you think we could get along without it?" McCain held fast, rejecting the very policy he urges today. "I not only think we could get along without it, but I think one of our big problems has been the fact that many Iraqis resent American military presence," he responded. "And I don't pretend to know exactly Iraqi public opinion. But as soon as we can reduce our visibility as much as possible, the better I think it is going to be." The January 2005 comments, which have not surfaced previously during the presidential campaign, represent a stunning contrast to McCain's current rhetoric. Finally, the comments undercut much of the criticism the senator has launched at his Democratic and even Republican opponents. On the campaign trail, for example, McCain has accused Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton of a "failure of leadership" by advocating a policy of drawing down troops. But in the MSNBC interview, McCain was arguing that U.S. "visibility" was detrimental to the Iraq mission and that Iraqis were responding negatively to America's presence - positions held by both Obama and Clinton. I WONDER WHY WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE VIDEO TAPE ON THIS?JON STEWART'S TAKE

UPDATE:
Yesterday I said that with the McCain Gas Tax summer role back I would save about $6.84 using all the gas I had bought since last December. I got to thinking what if I used all the gas since I bought my car back in January 2002, over six years ago. Turns out I've used 1110 gallons in all that time. Using that same $ .18 it turns out I'd save $ 199.80. Yea that's the ticket it'll sure allow me to take that dream vacation. SPRING IS HERE: I know when Spring has arrived. . . I get my riding lawn mower tuned up and the blade replaced. Well today is the day Sears service is scheduled to show up sometime between 8 and 12.

WHY IS BILL O'REILLY SO DAMN BITTER?
If you've watched The O'Reilly Factor at all you would soon notice just how BITTER he is. He can not stand any kind of criticism. You see that when he calls out a paper saying just how awful there reporting is, if you go to that paper and read the article it most likely has mentioned his name.
But there are a select few that he really goes ballistic on and that is Bill Moyers, Al Franken and Keith Olbermann. But to see just how silly O'Reilly is he won't use Franken or Olbermann name rather he'll say Stuart Smalley for Franken and NBC for Olbermann. It's sad to be that BITTER.BUSHED

BUSH ADMINISTRATION CLAIMS VS. THE FACTS:
"This is a struggle against evil"
LET'S TALK OUT OF TOUCH
John McCain said this over the weekend.
"I noticed again today that Sen. Obama repeated his opposition to giving low-income Americans a tax break, a little bit of relief so they can travel a little further and a little longer, and maybe have a little bit of money left over to enjoy some other things in their lives," McCain said. "Obviously Sen. Obama does not understand that this would be a nice thing for Americans, and the special interests should not be dictating this policy."What McCain is talking about is the "Gas Tax Proposal" that McCain want's to put in place for the summer. I think it represents about 18 cents per gallon of gas. So on this issue I did the following calculation. I bought my car back in January 2002. From my first tank of gas to my most recent fill up I have kept track of each and every fill up. By the way I paid $ .979 per gal back in January 2002 to $ 3.339 just this month. With that background I used all the gas I've bought since last December as a comparison on just what I would save under the McCain "GAS TAX PROPOSAL OF $ .18 CENTS PER GALLON" . Turns out I'd save $ 6.84 based on the number of gallons I bought during this time period. How do you spell OUT OF TOUCH???
AM I THE ONLY WHITE MAN IN AMERICA THAT FEELS LIKE I DO
Today I start the five part series of the Bill Moyers interview seen last Friday. To bring us all up to speed here is what has happened over the weekend and even this morning.
I didn't want Barack Obama to go on FOX NOISE yesterday. I felt he would be giving them credibility. I have no doubt that many of the shows on FOX will use "SNIPPETS" of that interview, in fact they have on Hannaty's America just last night. As long as he did go on FOX, I wanted Obama to go after FOX for promoting the lies and innuendo that they have used on many of their shows. He didn't do that. The Rev Jeremiah Wright was on Bill Moyers on Friday (see post below for more) and spoke to the NAACP Freedom Fund yesterday and he will talk today at the National Press Club in Washington. Already quotes from Bill Moyers are being taken out of context, HELL they did that before the show even ran last Friday. They are doing that right now on the speech he gave before the NAACP and they will do it again just as soon as he gives his speech to the Press Club. For what ever reason many people just don't take the time to figure things out. I could use my SMART ASS reason that too many listen to the likes of Limbaugh and O'Reilly but I think it goes deeper than that although that is part of it else how do you account for their high audience count. No I think some folks know a little bit about psychology and how to manipulate it. They know that many people will not take the time to even Google or Fact Check things they see on TV, hear on Talk radio or receive via e-mail. How else can you explain why so many people get caught up in SCAMS. In some cases quotes from these interviews and speech's will be taken out of context by Fox Noise and the like, because their agenda is to separate us all based upon race and if that does not work, then they will try to separate us based upon our economic status. I watched the Moyers interview Friday. I watched the NAACP speech last night and will watch his Press Club speech in just a few minutes. I know what he said and in each of the first two I found that Rev Wright was honest and forthright. When you listen to him IN FULL CONTEXT you see what it was that Barack Obama saw in this man. I would love to just shake his hand. The pundits have it wrong and they just have to keep saying it because it would make them look foolish to even admit that maybe they were wrong. While the Fox Noise fans are watching sound bytes from these speech remember, "this intelligent man served America by enlisting in the Marines and the Navy. . . Honorably!" Whatever happened to "once a Marine, always a Marine" where are the Marines to defend their brother's right to free speech? LET THE SPIN and the SNIPPETS BEGIN. * *BUSHED

BARACK OBAMA TAKES ON FOX NOISE TODAY
I don't like the fact that Barack is going on FOX NOISE today. While I know that Chris Wallace will be polite and he will try to ask hard questions (I hope they are not the Flag Pin type that we have seen from others).
The thing I don't like is not the interview itself it's what FOX will do with the "CLIPS" on all the other shows like Fox and Friends, O'Reilly, Hannaty and Colmes as well as others. Also I'll watch the panel very closely where they all seem to slam the dems. I saw this on the WEB: A senior Obama adviser vows that he will "take Fox on" when he appears on the network this Sunday, though it's unclear yet just how. Obama's decision to go on Fox News has prompted a lot of discussion about the Illinois Senator's relationship with Rupert Murdoch and whether Obama is trying to "court" the media mogul in advance of the general election. [ I think this is nuts. ] It's also been met with some dismay in the blogosphere, where folks had worked hard to push Dems to boycott Fox as a way of snuffing out whatever is left of the network's credibility. [ I agree they shouldn't go on FOX until they do get some balance. ] But how do Obama and his advisers view this? What do they have to say about it? The senior Obama adviser insists that Obama is under no illusions about Fox and what it represents, and that this isn't about courtship at all, and vows a confrontational approach on Sunday. Here is what the adviser IM-ed me about this today: We are clear-eyed about Fox?'s role in the dissemination and amplification of Republican talking points this election. They have been the tip of the spear when it comes to repeatedly broadcasting some of the most specious of rumors about Obama. He is going on their Sunday show to take Fox on, not because we have any illusion about their motives or politics in this election. The Obama adviser declined to detail how he'd be taking on Fox. But if Obama does this, it could end up playing to his advantage. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. [ I'm more cynical about FOX. . . they can say they are Fair and Balanced all day long but THEY ARE NOT it's all BULLSHIT. ]STARTING ON MONDAY
I taped Bill Moyers Journal Friday night his guest was The Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I will break it up into 5 bite size parts and unlike the cable channels you'll see the whole thing not just snippets.
It was a very interesting and intelligent interview which is the hallmark of all Moyers shows. Bill O'Reilly said that he will have a segment on Monday which I'll talk about on Tuesday. As I saw the run up to the show most of the Talking Heads said this was a bad thing for Rev. Wright to do. That it would hurt Barack Obama and is typical of what they all do they continue to run the little snippets and NEVER once provide background or context. FOX NOISE is the worst. For me I've done a little research on Rev. Wright, something that these Talking Heads don't do or if they do they don't talk about it. The man is nothing like what they are trying to say. You just need the context to see and understand what he's saying. Watch the complete five part interview here starting Monday. * *WEEKEND FUNNIES

John Edwards talked about the homeless vets sleeping under bridges and you may remember that Bill O'Reilly said that wasn't true. Now CBS NEWS reports that the suicide rate is at an all time high of over 1,000 soldiers per month. The VA tried say that the number was under 800 PER YEAR.
That has now proven to be a big ass lie and they got caught. Along with that John McCain is refusing to sign on to the New GI Bill that Webb has put forward. So like Bill O'Reilly said he was going to keep an eye on congress to do the right thing, McCain he's starting his own bill that doesn't help the average GI. He needs to sign on the current bill.

Tomorrow night (Friday) at 9 pm pacific time on PBS (ch 9) Mill Moyers will have the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr on his show Bill Moyers Journal. This will be the first time that people will get a chance to see and hear an honest, open and intelligent discussion without the yelling of this so called story.
All this BULLSHIT from the TALKING HEADS is so far off the mark it's nuts. How do they get these jobs by proving they are dumber than the guy sitting right next to them I guess. Here are a few examples: Why can't Obama close the deal? There are 9 more contests to go. From May 3rd to June 7th, the game ain't over. (all the networks). They mocked Ted Turner when he said that we are face a food shortage that could cause us to become cannibals. Have you all noticed the cost of food lately? (mostly FOX NOISE).

Senator McCain, you said that it would be alright with you if we stayed in Iraq for 100 years as long as our troops weren't be shot at. Right today they are being shot at why won't you bring them home now.

I saw this on the Web but can't remember where.
McCain Flip-Flops In 30 Seconds: Hagee Endorsement A 'Mistake,' But 'I'm Glad To Have' It Last February, hard-line conservative evangelical Pastor John Hagee endorsed Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) candidacy for president. Despite Hagee's history of controversial and bigoted comments -- such as calling Catholicism "The Great Whore" and blaming Hurricane Katrina on gays -- McCain said he was "very honored" to receive the endorsement, one which he also reportedly sought. McCain has since both "repudiate[d]" and defended Hagee's intolerant remarks. But McCain's double-talk on Hagee went a step further yesterday on ABC's This Week when he seemed a bit confused as to whether or not he still accepts Hagee's endorsement -- first agreeing that it was a "mistake" to accept it, but less than 30 seconds later saying he is "glad" to have it:STEPHANOPOULOS: So was it a mistake to solicit and accept his endorsement? MCCAIN: Oh, probably, sure. [. . .] STEPHANOPOULOS: So you no longer want his endorsement? MCCAIN: I'm glad to have his endorsement. I condemn remarks that are, in any way, viewed as anti-anything. And thanks for asking.Indeed, McCain has been confused quite a bit lately on a wide range of issues:
- McCain has said waterboarding "should never be condoned in the U.S." but voted against a bill banning the CIA from using torture, specifically including waterboarding. - McCain says he is "a consistent supporter of educational benefits" for the military but has indicated he will not support the bipartisan 21st Century GI Bill. - On at least three occasions, McCain baselessly claimed Iran is training Al Qaeda in Iraq but argued the error was an isolated slip of the tongue. - McCain falsely suggested that Al-Qaeda in Iraq is a "sect of Shi'ites." - McCain falsely claimed Moktada al-Sadr "declared the cease-fire" after recent fighting in Basra and has said he is both a "major player" in Iraq and that his influence "has been on the wane for a long time." - Economists and nonpartisan analysts have said recently that the numbers is McCain's economic plan simply "don't add up." - McCain has made the elimination of earmarks a cornerstone of his presidential campaign but he can't name any he would eliminate. - In a matter of one day, McCain said Americans are both "better off" and "not better off" than they were before President Bush took office.McCain's latest 30-second flip-flop represents the political dance he must engage in to try to appeal to both the conservative evangelical wing of the Republican Party and independent-minded Americans. But despite all his back and forth, the media still seem happy to promote McCain's self-proclaimed persona as a "straight-talking maverick."

One was taken at the cash register (don't know why there others couldn't be handled that way). The other two I had to mail in to two different addresses. I just hate this nonsense. At least let me file like Costco does via the Internet.

Well Bill-O is up to his old tricks of not veting a story that he might have picked up from that RIGHT_WING fool errr tool Michelle Malkin. She ran it on the 16th he did it on the 18th.
Bill-O has so much hate inside I don't think he knows that people can see what he is doing. . . that is all except the true believers. He hates both Al Franken and Keith Olbermann so much that he can't bring himself to even use their proper name. In Keith's case Bill-O attacks NBC not MSNBC and not Keith by name. For Al he uses Stuart Smally a character that Al played on SNL. Now he is after Al about something his accountant took care of years ago. (See the below image of the letter from the accountant). But did Bill-O do any kind of basic research like say Google "al Franken taxes". If he did he would have found what I did and that would be that the State of California screwed up. But no he just did what he always does and played in this case his stupid Pinhead game and as it turns out HE'S THE PINHEAD.

Here is just a snippet of the article.To the public, these men are members of a familiar fraternity, presented tens of thousands of times on television and radio as "military analysts" whose long service has equipped them to give authoritative and unfettered judgments about the most pressing issues of the post-Sept. 11 world. Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration's wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found. The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air. Those business relationships are hardly ever disclosed to the viewers, and sometimes not even to the networks themselves. But collectively, the men on the plane and several dozen other military analysts represent more than 150 military contractors either as lobbyists, senior executives, board members or consultants. The companies include defense heavyweights, but also scores of smaller companies, all part of a vast assemblage of contractors scrambling for hundreds of billions in military business generated by the administration's war on terror. It is a furious competition, one in which inside information and easy access to senior officials are highly prized.I've often wondered about the so called "democratic analysts" that FOX uses and now we find out the same problem exists for the military only it twice as bad. I just don't get why NBC, ABC and CBS didn't do a better job of vet these guys. * *
WHERE IS RONALD REGAN WHEN YOU NEED HIM?
Trying to stem the infiltration of militia fighters, American forces have begun to build a massive concrete wall that will partition Sadr City, the densely populated Shiite neighborhood in the Iraqi capital.
The construction, which began Tuesday night, is intended to turn the southern quarter of Sadr City near the international Green Zone into a protected enclave, secured by Iraqi and American forces, where the Iraqi government can undertake reconstruction efforts. So this is the way we BRING PEACE TO IRAQ . . . WITH BIG ASS WALLS. * *BUSHED

PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY TOMORROW:
Well it’s been a long six weeks since the last primary. I’ve got my fingers crossed. But I listen to all these pundits and I swear to god they say just the opposite from what they said just yesterday. First Hillary needed to win BIG now that we are close to “D” day they are saying a point or two was all she needs even though they all know that Hillary needs about 60% of all the remaining contests. Time will tell.
ABC THIS WEEK - NO GUTS:
Nice job George and ABC you continue to SING TO THE CHIOR with your pals George, Cokie and Sam. At least FOX NOISE doesn't pretend to be Fair and Balanced. George had his pals on his show this weekend and do you think they had even one thing that they felt was wrong with the debate. No way. They know which side the bread is buttered on.MEMORY LOSE:
Seems to me if you can't lie and get away with it you fall back on the tried and true bad memory. Billy and Hilly Clinton are both out complaining about how much Obama is whining. Bill is saying this is a contact sport "If you don't want to play, keep the uniform off." While Hilly is saying "If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen."PHILADELPHIA:
Barack Obama was greeted by the largest crowd of his campaign Friday night in Philadelphia. Some 35,000 people jammed into Independence Park to see the Democratic presidential candidate, four days before this state's crucial April 22 primary.SEATTLE SONICS:
Was there ever any doubt? For GOD SHAKE PEOPLE these major sports teams are going to do what they are going to do. Listen to what the NBA Commissioner had to say: "I'm giving this press conference in the face of a scorched earth policy," said NBA commissioner David Stern, who criticized civic leaders suing to force the team to stay until its lease expires in 2010." Imagine that they have a lease, which by the way is a "LEGAL CONTRACT" and he says they are being forced to do the right thing. WHAT BULLSHIT. * *HERE'S A GOOD IDEA

* *BLOWBACK ON THE DEBATE
I just checked ABCNEWS about the Great Debate and noticed that there are now over 22,000 comments posted on this subject.
My guess is that it's about 75% negative to 25% positive against ABCNEWS. Check here to view for yourself.<----( click here to go to the site )Here are just a few.
This was not a debate. It was an insult to the intelligence of the American people. By the way, I didn't see a flag pin on Charlie, George or Hillary. Does that mean they are unpatriotic or are they just hypocrites? Clinton said "people died" in 1970s bombings by a radical group of which an Obama acquaintance was a member. In fact, the deaths were of three members of the Weather Underground itself, who died when their own bombs accidentally exploded. Asinine questions - abysmal debate. Fire these silly moderators NOW. They insult the intelligence of the American people. Well so much for that Christian up bring. It just seems to me that in this political environment you make a mistake 10, 20, 30 or 40 years ago regardless of what good you've done in the years since you will never be forgiven. I'm sure that's what Jesus would do aren't you.* *
This past debate on ABC News has raised a number of questions on how the questions were put together and why they spent so much time on NON ISSUES.
One example is this STUPID "ISSUE" about wearing the American Flag on his suit. As I pointed out yesterday both Bush senior and McCain have been seen to no be wearing a Flag Pin. So does that make them unpatriotic? Anyway I ran this post back February this year. It about this same issue and the funny thing is that the stupid guy that raised this as an issue. . . well he wasn't wearing a Lapel Pin and you just need to listen to his answer to why he wasn't wearing one. Some people need to learn to JUST SHUT THE HELL UP.HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE AND STILL GET ELECTED TO CONGRESS
It was just two days ago (2/26/8) when I did a post on this Georgia Rep. Jack Kingston under the title "SPREADING HATE AND LIES". Well he is back acting DUMBER than ever.
Last night he was on the Dan Abrams show on MSNBC. This guy just made a COMPLETE ASS of himself. It's one thing to argue a point when the point you are trying to make could go one way or the other. But when you are just flat out LYING about whatever it is you are arguing about you will lose every time. As I point out in yesterdays post this LAPEL PIN issue is just BULLSHIT just like this FAMILY VALUES CRAP that the republicans put out. They are afraid of Guys because in their little minds they have some kind effect on their marriage. The truth is it's there running around with call girls and that kind of CRAP that hurts their marriage. Speaking of FAMILY VALUES how do these guys teach their children to grow up to be quality citizens when they themselves feel it's perfectly OK for them to LIE. Dan points out that this JERK isn't warring a pin yet he finds it OK to criticize Barack Obama. Listen to his answer it'll drive you crazy. His logic (poor choice of words) is laughable. Watch this video. You'll see he pretty much answers the question I ask in the above title of this post. * *WHY DOES THIS GO ON

Sure you can call me a Obama supporter. . . I am and DAMN PROUD OF IT. But if you watched the ABC NEWS debate last night you have at least agree that the spent the first 45-50 minutes HAMMERING Barack Obama.
In the after math of this debate there are more questions than answers. For example I've heard that George Stephanopoulos got a question or two from Sean Hannity. Do a Google on "george stephanopoulos sean hannity"Hannity asked George what kinds of questions they'll be asking at the debate tomorrow and they discussed a few things. When Hannity asked about the first question below about Ayers and whether George had plans to ask such a question, George replied, "Well, I'm taking notes now Sean." It did actually sound like he was pausing to take notes. And Hannity continued to feed him more: 1) Ask Obama about his relationship with Ayers and WeatherUnderground and Axelrod's comments, "They're friendly" 2) Ask Obama why he attended the Million Man MarchGood old George asked one of two. SHAME ON YOU ABC. There should be something in your play book that deals with fairness, if not you need to write one. * *
THE CLEAR LOSER IS ABC
I saw this in the Washington Post. This guy nail it.
* *By Tom Shales
When Barack Obama met Hillary Clinton for another televised Democratic candidates' debate last night, it was more than a step forward in the 2008 presidential election. It was another step downward for network news -- in particular ABC News, which hosted the debate from Philadelphia and whose usually dependable anchors, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances. For the first 52 minutes of the two-hour, commercial-crammed show, Gibson and Stephanopoulos dwelled entirely on specious and gossipy trivia that already has been hashed and rehashed, in the hope of getting the candidates to claw at one another over disputes that are no longer news. Some were barely news to begin with. The fact is, cable networks CNN and MSNBC both did better jobs with earlier candidate debates. Also, neither of those cable networks, if memory serves, rushed to a commercial break just five minutes into the proceedings, after giving each candidate a tiny, token moment to make an opening statement. Cable news is indeed taking over from network news, and merely by being competent. Gibson sat there peering down at the candidates over glasses perched on the end of his nose, looking prosecutorial and at times portraying himself as a spokesman for the working class. Blunderingly he addressed an early question, about whether each would be willing to serve as the other's running mate, "to both of you," which is simple ineptitude or bad manners. It was his job to indicate which candidate should answer first. When, understandably, both waited politely for the other to talk, Gibson said snidely, "Don't all speak at once." For that matter, the running-mate question that Gibson made such a big deal over was decidedly not a big deal -- especially since Wolf Blitzer asked it during a previous debate televised and produced by CNN. The boyish Stephanopoulos, who has done wonders with the network's Sunday morning hour, "This Week" (as, indeed, has Gibson with the nightly "World News"), looked like an overly ambitious intern helping out at a subcommittee hearing, digging through notes for something smart-alecky and slimy. He came up with such tired tripe as a charge that Obama once associated with a nutty bomb-throwing anarchist. That was "40 years ago, when I was 8 years old," Obama said with exasperation. Obama was right on the money when he complained about the campaign being bogged down in media-driven inanities and obsessiveness over any misstatement a candidate might make along the way, whether in a speech or while being eavesdropped upon by the opposition. The tactic has been to "take one statement and beat it to death," he said. No sooner was that said than Gibson brought up, yet again, the controversial ravings of the pastor at a church attended by Obama. "Charlie, I've discussed this," he said, and indeed he has, ad infinitum. If he tried to avoid repeating himself when clarifying his position, the networks would accuse him of changing his story, or changing his tune, or some other baloney. This is precisely what has happened with widely reported comments that Obama made about working-class people "clinging" to religion and guns during these times of cynicism about their federal government. "It's not the first time I made a misstatement that was mangled up, and it won't be the last," said Obama, with refreshing candor. But candor is dangerous in a national campaign, what with network newsniks waiting for mistakes or foul-ups like dogs panting for treats after performing a trick. The networks' trick is covering an election with as little emphasis on issues as possible, then blaming everyone else for failing to focus on "the issues." Some news may have come out of the debate (ABC News will pretend it did a great job on today's edition of its soppy, soap-operatic "Good Morning America"). Asked point-blank if she thought Obama could defeat presumptive Republican contender John McCain in the general election, Clinton said, "Yes, yes, yes," in apparent contrast to previous remarks in which she reportedly told other Democrats that Obama could never win. And in turn, Obama said that Clinton could "absolutely" win against McCain. To this observer, ABC's coverage seemed slanted against Obama. The director cut several times to reaction shots of such Clinton supporters as her daughter, Chelsea, who sat in the audience at the Kimmel Theater in Philly's National Constitution Center. Obama supporters did not get equal screen time, giving the impression that there weren't any in the hall. The director also clumsily chose to pan the audience at the very start of the debate, when the candidates made their opening statements, so Obama and Clinton were barely seen before the first commercial break. At the end, Gibson pompously thanked the candidates -- or was he really patting himself on the back? -- for "what I think has been a fascinating debate." He's entitled to his opinion, but the most fascinating aspect was waiting to see how low he and Stephanopoulos would go, and then being appalled at the answer.

* *The FAKE UPROAR of the Talking Heads on TV and Hillary Clinton about Obama's Bitter remarks of a week ago is just pure BULLSHIT. Have any of these folks made it past the third grade? When they read do they comprehend? Well here is their change to try it again.
Here is the transcript of what Barack Obama actually said.In a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long. They feel so betrayed by government that when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it.... But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there's not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.Now I defy anyone that reads that WHOLE statement to still hold to the belief that Barack is ELITIST and OUT OF TOUCH. As to being BITTER. . . what is he saying? They are bitter because they have indeed been "beaten down" for generations and in response they do cling to comforting irrelevancies and scapegoats. * *

Jeremiah Wright, the pastor who has made controversial remarks while preaching at the church Barack Obama's family attends, spoke this weekend at the funeral of a prominent Chicago figure. Wright made a pointed remark about the judgmental coverage he's received on FOX News.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports "Reflecting on the late Pincham, Wright said his faith "was not the jingoistic, chauvinistic 'you're either with us or against us' demonizing kind of faith." Wright said Pincham was friends with "Jews, Muslims, rabbis, imams, fathers in the Catholic church and [Louis] Farrakhan in the Islamic faith." Escalating into full-preaching mode, Wright thundered, "Fox News can't understand that. [Bill] O'Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity's stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham's] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed." Dan Abrams on his show Verdict talks about the FOX NOISE response to Rev Wrights remarks.

This thing with the "BITTER" comment of Barack Obama is fodder for the PUNDITS and as was true with the Rev Jeremiah Wright comments they all refuse to look at what he was saying be it the Rev or Barack. Here are some comments I saw on the net. Robert Creamer: It Takes Real Chutzpah for a Guy Who Owns Eight Houses (McCain) to Call Barack Obama an "Elitist" Small town midwesterners are bitter because of the economic and trade policies championed by Bush and McCain. Jane Smiley: Here We Go Again Barack Obama tells the truth about conditions as we know them. Hillary Clinton responds by calling him "elitist and out of touch." I cannot believe how angry this makes me. Robert Shrum: Barack Obama clearly wishes he hadn't said what he did about the feelings of small town Pennsylvanians -- at least the way he explained it at that fundraiser in San Francisco. Obama's not running for Sociologist-in-Chief. But there is a powerful element of truth in his comments. The truth will set you free. * *THE KITSAP DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
This past weekend I went to the Kitsap Democratic Convention. According to the Kitsap Sun over 1300 folks from all around Kitsap showed up. It was great to see that large a group.
Let me backup a little. I went to bed early Friday night 8:30 pm to be exact. But I guess my excitement about going to the Convention the next day made it hard for me to sleep. Well it wasn't really hard to go to sleep it was hard to stay asleep. I ended up getting up at 2:30 am. That's life in the fast lane I guess. The one thing I knew is that I would be on time and should get close in parking. Well I was on time but others had the same idea as me about the parking, it's just that they left home earlier then I did. I was right up front (about 6 rows back). You can see from the picture exactly where I was sitting. They started with the original count of all the delegates that had signed in. They did the math and said that some of those that where Edwards or Dodd and others didn't meet the 15% threshold and so that all those folks need to switch to Clinton or Obama. While that happened we were entertained with speeches from various state and local candidates. When they came back with the new count it ended up with Barack had 75% and Clinton got 25% (approximately). We then broke up into groups and I was part of the biggest group about 500 people. This was to select the delegates that wanted to go to the state convention in Spokane. About 20 or so signed up. They each had about 1 minute to state why they wanted to go. This meeting was held in the Gym at Olympic High School. * *WHY DOES THIS GO ON

Jon Stewart had a great conversation with the author of "The Man Who Pushed America To War", Aram Roston. The book is about Ahmad Chalabi.
Ahmad Chalabi was born in 1994 into an era in which Iraq was soon to be considered a central front in the war on communism, with the U.S. supporting a despot eventually overthrown en route to Saddam Hussein. Today, Iraq is now viewed as the new central front in the War on Terror, floundering after the U.S. invasion and removal of Saddam.

As I mentioned several times here I'm headed to the Kitsap Democratic 23rd LD Convention tomorrow. I've been getting tons of email reminding me of the up coming even. One stands out because it gave a list of things to bring. What caught my eye was the last item on the list. Am I applying for a job with the CIA? Credentials Items- Know Which Precinct You Are In, because sign-in will be grouped by it. - Your Voter Registration Card - Your Delegate/Alternate Card (from the caucus, not required, just in case) - A Driver's License or other Photo ID (with accurate address) - A Utility Bill (Shows your current address and proof of residency)My daughter and her kids came by yesterday for a visit. Her newest baby Jacob is Sooooo cute he's almost 4 months old now. Reminds me of me when I was that age. Alexis was busy doing some cleaning. I need her to come over once a week. * *
WHY DO WE LET THIS HAPPEN TO US
In the past two weeks, the following events transpired.
A Department of Justice memo, authored by John Yoo, was released which authorized torture and presidential lawbreaking. It was revealed that the Bush administration declared the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights to be inapplicable to "domestic military operations" within the U.S. The U.S. Attorney General appears to have fabricated a key event leading to the 9/11 attacks and made patently false statements about surveillance laws and related lawsuits. Barack Obama went bowling in Pennsylvania and had a low score.Here are the number of times, according to NEXIS, that various topics have been mentioned in the media over the past thirty days:
"Yoo and torture" - 102 "Mukasey and 9/11? - 73 "Yoo and Fourth Amendment" - 16 "Obama and bowling" - 1,043 "Obama and Wright" - More than 3,000 (too many to be counted) "Obama and patriotism" - 1,607 "Clinton and Lewinsky" - 1,079The sad thing is that the mainstream press really does believe that things like Obama's poor bowling skills and the Clinton's tax returns are more important stories than, say, the trillion dollar war that continues to rage on with no end in sight or a collapsing economy. It's been said, people care about the petty stuff because the media loves to tell themselves that they do.

* *This is short and sweet. I've been having Email trouble for the pass several hours and think I finally got it fixed.
Saturday is the Kitsap County Convention. Need to get there around 7 am or so. The Clinton campaign has always said that Barack Obama does better in Caucus and that's why she is behind. I've never understood this and it doesn't make sense other than the fact that Barack is just better prepared. * *FILM AT 11:00 - THE BILL-O BULLSHIT
The other night Bill O'Reilly did a segment about an illegal aliens killing a young football player. At the end he told the boys mother that "if there's anything she or her unit needs" to be sure to let him know. I wonder if anyone has ever taken him up on that. Doubt it.
* *
Many of the shows on the FOX NOISE channel complain about the LACK OF GOOD NEWS coming out of IRAQ. Yet I find it laughable that they don't broadcast any good news themselves.
BILL-O does story after story about "GIRLS GONE WILD". I've never heard him say one good thing about kids to young adults. Like the kids that took their spring break and went to New Orleans to help build house. Or many other success stories of kids doing good things in their school or neighborhood.
I've never heard him say ONE GOOD thing that an illegal alien has ever done. Like the illegal aliens that helped someone that was in an accident even though it meant he would get caught.

BUSH ADMINISTRATION CLAIMS VS. THE FACTS:
War Through Rose-Colored Glasses
* *I didn't learn anything from yesterdays hearing with General Petraeus and Amb. Crocker.
Wonder whose idea it was to schedule a Medal of Honor award ceremony at the White House at the same time as the Petraeus hearings? All three cable nets broke away from hearings coverage to carry the ceremony live. Still can't welcome home the flag draped coffin of our dead soldiers. What's this BULLSHIT about making some kind of agreement for keeping our Troops in IRAQ that the IRAQI parliament will need to review and approve but our own congress can't review. IT'S TIME TO IMPEACH THIS ADMINISTRATION. What's the deal with all the OIL MONEY IRAQ is bringing in and yet we are still paying for everything. Who was it that said the IRAQ OIL would pay for this war. Do you still BELIEVE that if John McCain is elected that it will be any different then a 3rd Bush term? * *SOME NOTES ON THE HEARING
1.) AQI:
I heard the term AQI (Al Qaida in Iraq) so many times yesterday I lost count. It make you think that IRAQ is being over run with these AQI guys doesn't it.
2.) A FEW FACTS:
Some of Menendez's figures are downright infuriating. This is what $25 billion has gotten us:* 43% of population lives in absolute poverty * prior to war 19% of children suffered malnutrition; today 28% * last year 75% elementary-aged kids went to school; now 30% * prior to war 50% lacked access to clean water; now 70% * only 50 of 142 primary health care centes are open to publicAmbassador Crocker's response is exactly what you would expect: "Security conditions made it difficult to bring projects to closure in a timely fashion." What a tangled web we weave.
3.) ARE WE SAFER:
Petraeus Hedges On Whether Iraq War Makes U.S. Safer: 'It Can Only Be Answered By History' In last September's hearing, Gen. Petraeus was asked whether the Iraq war makes the U.S. safer. "I don't know," Petraeus responded. Today, Sen. John Warner (R-VA) pressed Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker again. "Is all this sacrifice bringing about a more secure America?" he asked. But Petraeus - seemingly glancing at his notes - did not directly answer. "There is no longer a ruthless dictator in Iraq," he said. "Ultimately, it can only be answered by history, once the outcome in Iraq has been determined. … I believe the more important question is at this point how to achieve our our important interests in Iraq." IT SEEMS TO ME IF IT DOESN'T MAKE US SAFER WHY THE HELL ARE WE STILL THERE? When Warner asked Crocker the same question, Crocker praised efforts against al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), saying AQI has been "lessened." "I do believe that makes America safer," Crocker said. Watch it: Petraeus and Crocker refused to admit that fighting in Iraq does nothing to decrease the threat from the global al Qaeda terrorist network. FBI Director Robert Mueller recently cited the "three-tiered threat" that al Qaeda poses to the West, but Iraq is not referenced in that analysis:The top tier was the core of the organisation which had established new sanctuaries in Pakistan's tribal areas. The middle tier was the most complex, consisting of small, self-directed groups like the London bombers of 7/7 who had some ties to al-Qaeda's leadership. The bottom tier, said Mr Mueller, was made up of homegrown extremists who met on the internet instead of in foreign training camps.

Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??" Caller: "No." Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." Caller: "Okay, here it is." Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window." Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then." Caller: "I can't." Operator: "No? Why not??"

WANT SOME STRAIGHT TALK. . . DON'T LOOK HERE
Despite His Votes To Cut Veterans Funding, McCain Says We Owe Vets "A Debt We Can Never Repay"
The other day, Sen. John McCain spoke to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Kansas City, MO. He spoke at length about the sacrifice paid by U.S. soldiers in Iraq, acknowledging "how little has been asked of others compared to their service" and declaring that the nation owes veterans "a debt that we can never fully repay." He also said that veterans should have access to "the highest quality health care in the world" upon returning: As President, I will do everything in my power to ensure that those who serve today and those who have served in the past have access to the highest quality health, mental health and rehabilitative care in the world. The disgrace of Walter Reed must not be forgotten. … Whatever our commitments to veterans cost, we will keep them, as you have kept every commitment to us. The honor of a great nation is at stake. Not only has he refused to support the 21st Century GI Bill, which the Veterans of Foreign Wars endorsed last June, he has consistently voted against increasing funding for the Veterans' Administration, which oversees all medical care for veterans:- Voted AGAINST an amendment providing $20 billion to the VA's medical facilities. [5/4/06] - Voted AGAINST providing $430 million to the VA for outpatient care "and treatment for veterans," one of only 13 senators to do so. [4/26/06] - Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.5 billion by closing corporate loopholes. [3/14/06] - Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.8 billion by ending "abusive tax loopholes." [3/10/04] - Voted AGAINST a $650 million increase in veterans' medical care funding. [8/1/01]Though McCain has derided progressive universal health care plans as "a government takeover," he is mum on the success of the VA, a government-run, integrated approach that, as Paul Krugman put it, is "one of the few clear American success stories in the struggle to contain health care costs." McCain's zero-regulation, every-man-for-himself approach to health insurance would in effect "dismantle" the VA - what Krugman calls "a completely wrongheaded approach to health care."
IT'S HARD TO GET IT RIGHT. . .
General David Petraeus is talking to congress right now. But I saw this on the WEB the other day and found it interesting.
The debate over the U.S. policy towards Iraq (and the debate over the debate) has taken several twists and turns over the course of five long and painful years, but if there's one thing I thought the entire Republican establishment agreed on, it's this: don't disagree with Gen. David Petraeus. His judgment is sacrosanct, his word is gold, and his assessments of conditions in Iraq are unimpeachable. Why, then, are John McCain and Dick Cheney contradicting Petraeus publicly? Just four days ago, Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said that "no one" in the U.S. and Iraqi governments "feels that there has been sufficient progress by any means in the area of national reconciliation," or in the provision of basic public services. As it turns out, "no one" doesn't include John McCain, who feels there's been plenty of progress. . . "Anybody who believes the surge has not succeeded, militarily, politically and in most other ways, frankly, does not know the facts on the ground." . . . nor does it include Dick Cheney, who apparently sees political progress Petraeus doesn't. U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday declared the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavor," pointing to security and political progress on a visit ahead of the fifth anniversary of the war. A new schism between Petraeus and Republican leaders? Well, probably not. It's far more likely that McCain and Cheney have their political talking points to read, and don't much care whether they contradict Petraeus' comments or not.WHY CAN'T OUR TROOPS MAKE THE CAME CHOISE
Did you see this headline about the 1000 Iraqi Soldiers that just decided that fighting a war was not fun so they quit.
Let's see we've been there for over five years now. . . WHY CAN'T WE JUST QUIT AND COME HOME??? * *MCCAIN A WARMONGER

NAME A BRIDGE, ARE YOU KIDDING
In reply to Randy Boss letter 4/5/8 I was one of those on his e-mail list asking for folks to send him a reply to show their opposition to this EARTH SHAKING situation of renaming the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to the Bob Oke Bridge.
When I received the e-mail we had just learned of the 4000th solider to die in IRAQ. I was mad as h*** and I replied to Randy with the following. "We just passed the 4000th US Soldiers death in Iraq and you're worried about the name on a Bridge?" "How about turning this into a STOP THAT GOD AWFUL WAR email petition. I'd sign that." He didn't respond to my e-mail. Now he's writing these Letters to all the papers trying to drum up support for this URGENT CAUSE. It's pretty obvious to me that Randy has way to much time on his hands. He needs to get back to doing something constructive like pushing for that bridge/tunnel between Seattle and Kitsap County which would help Mayor Bozeman sell those Condos downtown. * *JUST LIP SERVICE
McCain’s mouthpiece, Lindsey Graham went on ABC This Week and used every talking point to support the war in Iraq, but can’t come up with an explanation why McCain will not support Webb’s new GI benefits Bill.
It’s for the welfare of our troops that have been ordered into this nightmare situation in the middle east, and as strong war advocates, you’d think McCain and Graham would be first on the list of the Senator’s who have signed to show how committed they are to our troops. Graham has a lot of words to say about everything else and goes off topic because he doesn’t have a good answer. WEBB: Yes. Well, there are too many people in the Pentagon who are seeing a good GI bill as affecting retention rather than rewarding service, and we need to get those — politics aside, we need to get to those issues to help our troops. STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Graham, Senator Webb has introduced this legislation to provide the same GI bill benefits to Iraq War veterans that veterans of World War II got. Neither you nor Senator McCain have co-sponsored that bill. More than 50 senators have. Why not? Supporting the troops is nothing but a talking point for McCain and Graham it would appear as it is with all of thoese on the right. NOTE: Bill-O has tried to make this his "BIG DEAL" with his so called "keeping on top of this" effort. He isn't doing JACK S**T about this. He is only doing this because he got into so much trouble over his slaming of John Edwards. * *PATHETIC JOURNALISM
I saw the report filed by Jim Acosta regarding the question the young lady posed for John McCain during his stop at her High School.
According to the report filed by Jim Acosta he "CHARACTERIZED" her question as "BEING A STUDENT HECKLER." And at the end of the piece Acosta says "John McCain, who is no stranger to incoming fire, able to handle that heckler there." Just listening to this young girls question it takes a great deal of IMAGINATION to suggest that the question was anything other than a legitimate question. I suggest that Mr. Jim Acosta apologize on the air to that young girl that's the least he can do. Also I think he needs to go back to JOURNALISM 101 no wait make that JOURNALISM 1 and learn the basics he sure isn't ready for prime time. I hope he is not included in that "BEST POLITICAL TEAM ON TELEVISION" that Wolf Blitzer likes to say at least 10 times an hour. * *BUSHED

It was later learned that instead of being a soldier it was a contractor security guard working for a Europian Co. * *WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD

Kiva Update
This is an update I received this weekend. It shows that this program is working. Notice this is my portion of the money that I have given ($50). I plan to add more to this fund in about a month.
HOW TO USE THE REBATE CHECKS
As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will all go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatamala, if we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan, if we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer, since those are the only businesses still in the US. (hat tip to karen)MY KIDS

* *Hey, I'd like you to ask John McCain why he won't sign on to the Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel proposed new GI Bill legislation. He says he SUPPORTS THE TROOPS yet won't sign on this new GI BILL.
I wrote this down on a piece of paper two days ago: I'm going to say I have more faith and trust in the goodness and fairness of the American people than the right wingers on FOX NOISE, so on this 2nd day of April I'm going to say that Barack Obama will come within 5 points of Hillary in the Pennsylvania Primary on the 22nd of April. Hillary doesn't seem to know or understand the meaning of "PLEDGE DELEGATES" and she thinks there are "ONLY DELEGATES". Well I'm sorry for her but most of the people I know understand the difference between the two terms and she'll find out exactly what that difference means as they wrap up these last few primaries.FORTY YEAR AGO TODAY
It was 40 years today that Martin L King, Jr. was killed.
The 39-year-old was shot dead as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine motel in Memphis on April 4th, 1968. His killing triggered race riots in dozens of US cities. The motel where it occurred has since been transformed into a National Civil Rights Museum. On a personal note my dad had died before that happened and I had moved back home to make sure it was taken care of. His house was in the Central district of Seattle. I remember that a rock came through the front window once but we didn't have any other trouble. I was scared I'll have to admit. * *THEY CALL HIM MR MAYOR PART 5 OF 5
I think the BEST show on all of TV is Bill Moyers on PBS. Week after week he has guests on that provide a conversation that is open, honest, interesting and thoughtful.
This past Friday he had Cory Booker a young man who is the Mayor of Newark, NJ. He seems to have the same qualities that Barack Obama has.

The CBS News-New York Times poll released Thursday showed 81 percent of respondents said they believed "things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track." That was up from 69 percent a year ago, and 35 percent in early 2002.
Lets see: housing turmoil, economic downturn, war in Iraq, health care, education and U.S. Infrastructure. Seventy-eight percent of respondents said the country was worse off than five years ago; just 4 percent said it was doing better. I'd like to talk to these 4% and find out what they are drinking.BUSHED

ARE THEY JUST ALL LAZY: The media (cable TV) can find time to talk endlessly about Barack Obamas bad BOWLING, but they can't find the time to dig a little deeper into Rev. Wrights background and provide anything more than the 30 second sound bite. Damn I guess we don't need to wonder why our leadership put us in this God awful war and why gas is at the price it is while we provide tax breaks to these same oil companies. We are all just NUTS. THIS IS THE TRUTH: I think what has happened with Jeremiah Wright is that, whatever you think of him, and however unfair the media has been to him, he has given the right a way to mobilize resentment against Barack Obama that they never had before ... [Wright] is presented as the quintessential angry black man that the right wing loves to incite hatred against. So Sean Hannity is running with this as far as he can. -- Journalist Max BlumenthalTHEY CALL HIM MR MAYOR PART 3 OF 5
