		<description>Nader doesn't waver.  It's always about the American People, justice, the LAW and humanity.  Obama is scaring the stuff out of me lately, so I might just do what I should have done in 2004...and vote NADER.  

The Democrats are Republican enablers who have helped the Republicans LOOT our nation, helped Bush and Cheney commit MASS MURDER FOR PROFIT, and are now PROTECTING THEM FROM PROSECUTION AND PRISON.  

THIS HAS TO STOP OR WE WILL EITHER BE GASPING FOR BREATH, HIDING IN OUR HOMES FROM BUSH'S GESTAPO, STARVING, OR SAYING OUR FINAL GOODBYES TO OUR CHILDREN AND FRIENDS.

The fact that this nation of 300 million, and over one million murdered Iraqis, are victims of the most heinous, corrupt, criminal, indifferent, sociopathic, murderous presidential administration in the history of our nation should have scared the hell out of this whole nation years ago, and it hasn't, should send all of us to the polls voting for Nader/Gonzalez.  

There's not much else to talk about... because nothing else much matters.  Obama hasn't outright described the impeachable and prosecutable high crimes of the Bush administration, nor the criminality of the Republicans.  Nor did Clinton.  ONLY NADER HAS SPOKEN THIS TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR.

THAT, IN AND OF ITSELF, SHOULD TELL ALL OF US WHO TO VOTE FOR...  AS IT SHOULD HAVE IN 2004 FOR KUCINICH.  

WE HAVE BECOME A NATION OF FRIGHTENED "GOOD GERMANS."  NOTHING LESS... AND WITH THE SAME RESULTS.</description>

Flipping to the right then flipping back to the left, that's positively fucking gymnastic.  I can't wait to see his floor routine in Beijing.  America's sure to win with him on the team.</description>

		<description>(I'll let Rev. Roper ponder the theological implications of the above...but first perhaps Dr. Roper would like to announce a cure for that Bush Derangement Syndrome he used to yammer about...before he belatedly  backed away from Bush.  Nothing like silly mantras when you're all out of arguments that make any sense.)</description>

		<description>I think you're the one who needs a jolt to make them "feel better" - because your posts here are pathetic.  Sandbox stuff. When all else fails - and it usually does with your "analysis" - you resort to unadulterated ad hominem.</description>

		<description>I was going to write something really rude about reg, but I understand that he can't help himself, that he is much more like Chris Matthews in that thrill up his leg than even reg would admit.  

Face it reg, you messiah is a friggin politician and nothing more.  Like any and every democrat since LBJ he moves left during the primary, right for the general and then fucks up everything in between elections... Come to think of it, the dems are JUST like the repubs in that regard.  Welcome to the VRWC reg.  

I keep asking woody why he bothers with you.  I haven't gotten a sane answer from him yet so it must be an addicitive thing.  So, I'm joinging ra... reg anonymous.  Step 1 1. We admitted we were powerless over ribbing regâ€”that our lives had become unmanageable because he is so dense...  enjoy that reg, that's the last I'll screw around with you.  You just aren't worth it.  There, feel better little kiddie?</description>

		<description>"The press should be hypercritical of Obamaâ€™s pandering to the right"

 What press are we talking about ?  Some imaginary press that doesn't exist or the press that lives and breathes horserace narratives rather than serious discussions of a candidate's polices.  I don't think crap like the thing Roper posted - which was re-written because it was so misleading - is "criticism" so much as more of the same old shit that turned Al Gore into a guy most notable for making stuff up and wearing certain colors, while John McCain is still portrayed as a "maverick" with great "commander in chief" credentials, despite his flip-flops on a host of issues and his spending years echoing the disastrous  Bush-Rumsfeld line on Iraq.   The truth is that the most effective criticism Obama is getting isn't from "the press" - which is analytically incompetent on most issues - but from his own steadfast supporters, who take him at his word that he'll engage his critics and takes the issues seriously, even if he doesn't always make everybody happy with his political choices. Frankly, it's an absurd notion that the "actually existing press" is some kind of brake on "pandering" - when the news media's pre-fab narratives are in themselves "pandering" to their infantile, commercialized notion of journalism, and are the foundation of the kind of debased public discourse that makes "pandering" seem necessary to some degree by pols of all stripes.  It's like asking crack-whores to help  put an end to substance abuse.</description>

		<description>Fortunately, most Obama supporters aren't as stupid and disingenuous as Roper.   What a wanker...  It's interesting that the language at the Politico link has been changed since Roper copied it - because as stated it was a remarkably dumb, fictional account of Obama's position.  He has ALWAYS stated, as his principle, that we should leave Iraq as carefully as we were careless getting in.  The notion that he should exhibit zero flexibility in plotting the actual withdrawal (and he has NEVER supported "immediate withdrawal" but an immediate  start to a careful withdrawal - with ending combat operations within a reasonable timeline and no permanent bases the goal) or that as CC he won't consult with the military on the ground in defining an operative plan is ridiculous.  (The latest noises  from the Iraqi government makes it pretty clear that Obama would make a better partner in ending the occupation than McCain.)

Of course,  dipshits like Roper hate Obama because he's playing to win.  He's also proven about a hundred times more saavy in assessing the disastrous Iraq invasion strategy than this "conservative" peanut gallery that lived for years in their fearless leader W's asshole.  ("Conserving what ?" after Bush's assaults on the Constitution and wide-ranging strategic and policy failures is of course, the $64,000 question with these wingnuts.)</description>

		<description>Latest from the Obama camp... if he keeps this spin to the right of center (it's no longer spin to the center) he'll permanently lose his Obamamessiahship.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) promised primary voters a swift withdrawal from Iraq, in clear language still on his website: â€œObama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.â€

Not anymore. Heading into the holiday weekend, Obama and his advisers repudiated that pledge, saying he is reevaluating his plan and will incorporate advice from commanders on the ground when he visits Iraq later this month.

A top Obama adviser said he is not â€œweddedâ€ to a specific timeline, and Obama said Thursday he plans to â€œrefineâ€ his plan.&lt;/blockquote&gt; From &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0708/11517.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Politico&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Right on Alan and that is why the largest new group on Obama's affinity page is a liberal/progressive crowd reminding him of how he got here. I think its having an effect. He's already revised his remarks on Clark. Maybe FISA is next!

(BTW FISA is now and has ALWAYS been in place. What we're talking about is an abortion called the "Protect America" Act {paging Mr. Orwell!} which allows warrantless wiretapping and Telco Immunity {which is really immunity for the Bushies} to continue. How come the Fourth and Fifth Ammdts can be violated but not the second? Yeasterday a promenant blogger in DC was shot and the street he lived on is, according to John Aravosis of AMERICABLOG, a free-fire zone. But, thanks to the Supremes, the crips and bloods there have the right to bear arms. Guess they're a "Well-regulated Militia!" Welcome to the US of Insanity!)</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right on Alan and that is why the largest new group on Obama&#8217;s affinity page is a liberal/progressive crowd reminding him of how he got here. I think its having an effect. He&#8217;s already revised his remarks on Clark. Maybe FISA is next!</p>
<p>(BTW FISA is now and has ALWAYS been in place.

		<description>Oh, man, this post is hard to take. The press should be hypercritical of Obama's pandering to the right and not resort to making excuses for him. .. Sounds like Bradley still wishes he were managing a campaign somewhere. At what point would you object to Obama's retreat? When it comes to Iraq? Well, you're too late.

FARGO, N.D. -- Democrat Barack Obama emphasized today that he might revise his proposed timetable for pulling U.S. combat troops from Iraq, saying he needed to consult with U.S. commanders and do a "thorough assessment of the situation."

The comments at a news conference here seemed to be a shift in focus by Obama, a staunch opponent of the Iraq war.</description>

		<description>Yeah, BB, they are different.  With the draft you get paid.  With the current mandatory service, as in universities, they consider "service learning" as part of your obligation to society and expect you to do it to pass the course.  Crazy leftist professors.  

You can't escape this issue, though, by pretending that it isn't a form of government mandated service--which may take the form of punishment for those who don't give in.  It's bad enough that I pay taxes that get wasted on all sorts of liberal programs without them taking my time, too.
