Hmm

And it makes it much more difficult to continue her "who is Barack Obama?" stump speeches.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 09:02 PM) Did anyone seriously believe that about her? Well, maybe they believed that in that they believed she was a truly religious conservative of the sort that actually makes up the religious right and in that sense they thought she was a new kind of politician, but beyond that, who actually still believed that? I assumed someone must have since they are still getting around 41-43% nationally.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) Seriously, that's what you got from reading that key statement? Unless there's something else buried in the report, you found that to be game over? It completely negates her as being some kind of new type of politician to fix Washington. She's just another dirty pol that was caught not telling the truth.

2 words... Game Over

Richard Trumka, secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO and former president of the United Mine Workers, hits racism head on:

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 11:08 AM) Did anyone catch the 30 minute weekend update SNL last night? If this is any indication of what SNL still is, I'll be running away from my television on saturday nights. It was absolutely terrible. They opened up with a 12 minute bit about the 2nd debate. I didn't crack a smile the entire time. It was completely unfunny and whats worse is that it kept going and going and going. Then the snarky weekend update with pohler and that other guy started. I think out of the 15-20 stories they covered, I laughed once. The black economy guy (that actor has never been funny the entire time he's been on that - keenan? wayne? something like that) and the Hall and Oates bits were equally bad. I dunno, maybe I'm getting old. I just don't find anything they do as even remotely funny. I'd have to agree. Absolutely brutal.

McCain camp's response to the increasingly angry mobs attending their rallies yelling things out like "traitor", "terrorist", and "kill him".

John Weaver, John McCain's former top strategist: "People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, the differences with Senator Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared to Senator McCain," Weaver said. "And from a purely practical political vantage point, please find me a swing voter, an undecided independent, or a torn female voter that finds an angry mob mentality attractive."

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) Here is a new McCain ad about Obama and ACORN. Finally McCain with a negative ad. I was getting tired of the positive ones flooding the airwaves.

Anyone else catch "Testees" last night. Not sure what I think about it.

Snippets of Christopher Buckey Jr's endorsement of Obama...Yes, William F Buckley's son:

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 09:57 AM) ^POTY. It's not even close anymore. Really? So being a phony is considered great advice?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 10:51 AM) You keep saying that. What would you do? What would you have your glory boy do? But I thought you were against socialism and big government?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 09:40 AM) I miss Laurie Dhue. No idea who she is but I can gladly say I have never turned on Fox News in the 14 years I have had DirecTv. Not even by accident.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 12:05 AM) "Sunny" was really bad tonight. The final 8 minutes are so really dragged and the subject matter was just unfunny. That show is headed in an odd direction. Underwhelming season to say the least. Look forward to watching this week's Shield tonight. Had to watch the debate on Tuesday.

I know that was a long article with a million links embedded but it's a darn good read.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 10, 2008 -> 08:52 AM) Truth be told, I agree with that. I was just stirring the 'ol pot yesterday. It really pisses me off that the Republicans have been handed a chance on a gold platter to explain why they can help better then their (socialist) pals. But for whatever reason, they've just played dead, and all they want to do is fear monger. Guess what? It isn't going to work this election. Talk about why RSO will take away money from the economy as a whole and they win, but for some reason they can't do that, and it's sad. Like the way McCain wants to have taxpayers bail out the banks?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 05:29 PM) Now why would I do that? I'll stop stirring the pot. I haven't done that in a while. So I take it you're all for small government McCain buying bad mortgages if he's elected?
