How dare you portray John McCain as some kind of irresponsible compulsive gambler? DON’T TOUCH HIM!! DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS??!!

The polls only decisively break for a candidate once at this stage of the election, and they broke for Obama. McCain/Palin realize its lost, and I think their only alrternative is to damage him as much as possible before taking office.

What is the worst thing that can happen? One of their rabid followers actually succeeding in ‘Bombing Obama’. The world will blame Mccain and they will end up hated more than ever.

Sometimes it’s all so clear. Remember when Bush 41 picked lackluster affirmative-action-beneficiary and career-civil-servant Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court? That choice expressed his contempt for a whole branch of government. Likewise, Panamanian strongman Juan McCain’s selection of Ms Winky shows his contempt for (1) anyone beneath him in the org chart, and (2) women.

Servo October 10, 2008 at 1:44 pm

I wouldn’t worry about North Korea. They’ll most likely desist at the first sight of our abundance of snack cakes.

ProgHead777 October 10, 2008 at 1:44 pm

Anyone remember that movie, Testament? Early 80′s. Rated PG. Scariest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my life. No joke. That movie made The Exorcist its bitch.

Anyways, that would probably be our fate under President Sarah Palin.

What’s the name of the video on Youtube so I can look it up on my iphone? stupid corporate firewalls…

slappypaddy October 10, 2008 at 1:52 pm

It won’t be an accident. I can tell you, as I was raised in an apocalyptic Christian sect, Armageddon is the goal. However, my upbringing was also military, and I feel confident that any attempt by an apocalyptic Christian president to start a nuclear war would be resisted by the military up to and including their staging a coup. The greater danger from a McCain-Palin administration is not nuclear war, it is a military dictatorship which would almost inevitably lead to some sort of civil war.

slappypaddy October 10, 2008 at 2:06 pm

[re=129565]ProgHead777[/re]: I remember “Testament.” I watched it again just a few years ago, with my son, who is now old enough to go die in a forever war. I warned him beforehand that there was a scene–the one with the boy and his mom in the bathroom at night, you know the one–that might cause me to lose it and burst into sobs. It didn’t, not that time.

(Jane Alexander was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the mother. Watch it if you dare.)

Doesn’t the PTA leader’s church preach that this is the “end times” or “end of times”? Does this mean I’m about to get Raptured away from terrist socialism? Excellent. Besides, the endless North Korean army has nothing on the McCain Mobs forming in parking lots around the swing states.

That was pretty effective until Kim Il Jong showed up. A guy in a clown suit doesn’t add much to garvitas.

[re=129614]Worlds End[/re]: You must have a home to be invaded… that is the plan.. the crime of home invasion will drop off of the chart, as no one will own a home anymore. However, the number of people killed for shopping carts and cardboard boxes will rise sharply.

At last, a “Daisy” ad for the 21st century! Personally, I would have replaced the music with the Kronos Quartet’s main theme from ‘Requiem For A Dream,’ followed with the planet exploding and a puppy being kicked in the groin, but good work!

[re=129607]slappypaddy[/re]: Oh, I remember the scene. That, and the one where she’s sewing the bed sheet, which I’m sure you also remember, haunted me for a long time. In fact, that’s still the image that comes to mind when I hear the words “nuclear war”.

Seriously folks, we need a president that’s going to make nice with the floating head of Putin. Let’s send Bitchwinkle back the the tundra with some shitty parting gifts and the home game and hope Alaska secedes before 2012.

I have a thought. (That’s what happens when you have a brain!) What if the Rapture is more beneficial for us Lib-rals instead of the Fundies? The Fundies get to be lifted up into their own private heaven, where everybody looks like them and thinks like them just like that Twilight Zone episode, and we don’t have to listen to their crap?

Hmmmm….?

Pop-quiz “gotcha” questions!

Such a shame the mainstream media is not doing its job and that it takes a Great American like Sean Hannity to bring us the REAL news.

You guys are out to get Sarah! And she will not be stopped! God sent her! She’s been raised up for a time such as this! USAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSA!

(Please don’t jump my shit. I was joking. But that is truly how they see it.)

iolanthe October 11, 2008 at 2:13 pm

[re=129607]slappypaddy[/re]: The “bedsheet” scene, where Jane Alexander is sewing the shroud for her teen daughter, the pianist, that just ripped my heart out. And then, when Mom shut the lid on the daughter’s piano, perhaps forever … I bawled like a baby, right there in the theater. I didn’t have a hanky with me, so I sobbed into my balled-up sweater, really soaking it.

In 1996, my oldest son, who had seen that movie with me at age 13, who had tried to comfort me while I sobbed, took his life … a victim of combat-related PTSD and depression, incurred when he was part of the Basra Turkey Shoot during Gulf War I, in 1991.

Calling around to get his affairs in order afterward, putting away and giving away his precious things, his sports equipment, his CD collection, his books, well … it took me right back to that scene. Yes, folks, that stuff happens to real families in real life.

Don’t people realize how much this shit costs us? And to think that in Iraq, tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of Moms and Dads are going through this, not to mention over 4000 US families …

Sorry to get serious here, but … call me a (sort of) Gold Star Mother for Obama. My love affair with Conservatism ended in 1996, some time during that poor kid’s half-century-too-damned-early funeral. I *told* him not to join the Marines, but what 18 year old listens to his Mom when he has demagogues stirring him up and recruiters promising him the world?

We now return you to your regular snark.

iolanthe October 11, 2008 at 2:18 pm

[re=129574]slappypaddy[/re]: You are right. It won’t be an accident. They *WANT* Armageddon. They crave it. They also crave persecution, and, even when they have all the power and hold all the cards, they think they’re being subjected to it.

“These are the times the prophets desired to live in!” is one of their rallying cries whenever it gets down to about two minutes to midnight, Nuclear Clock Time.

I’m an ex-Conservative (until 1996), and a former member of a Dominionist-leaning Christian sect from 1978 to about 1984, when I realized my church wanted to eliminate the church/state separation.

I know these people really well. slappypaddy is telling you the truth.

[re=130648]RadioFreeBabylon[/re]:

“You guys are out to get Sarah! And she will not be stopped! God sent her! She’s been raised up for a time such as this! USAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSA!”

That is absolutely how they see it.

From my time amongst them, I could probably roll off 20 more minutes of rhetoric (which one McCain/Palin fan from YouTube, some victim of an Assemblies of God Church School, actually spelled “rederick”!! AAAAGH!!!) just like this, without even thinking about it. In fact, “not thinking about it” is when this stuff rolls off the tongue the best.

With props to your nod to the Book of Esther, (when Mordechai said to Esther, “Who knows but you have been sent to the Kingdom for such a time as this?”) let me toss another Scripture at Sarah, this one from Jesus: “It must needs be that offences come; but woe to them by whom the offence cometh!”

Dear Friend:

Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections? How about your friends, family, and neighbors?
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
• Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
• Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason?
• Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?
The answers to these questions — and all your voting needs — can be found at http://www.StateDemocracy.org
