Sarah Palin–the face of the Republican party in 2012

I say “hooray” to this idea.  Her brand is just what America needs to ensure there’s a Democrat in the White House.  Bring it on, Sarah!!

Special measure on San Francisco ballot to honor George W. Bush

Voters in San Francisco on Tuesday will decide whether to rename the city’s wastewater treatment plant as the ‘George W. Bush Sewage Plant.’  [Note: I'm not making this up.] 

Should this measure pass, there’s talk of an orchestrated plan to have everyone flush at high Noon eastern time on inauguration day as a final send-off to President Bush.  Unorthodox?  Perhaps.  Inappropriate?  You decide.

Colin Powell endorsement of Barack Obama–another look

Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama is certainly one of the high points of the 2008 Election. 

As we enter the final 4 days of the campaign, Colin Powell’s words from the October 19th ”Meet the Press” bear repeating, especially for an undecided voters at this point:

I know both of these individuals very well now. I’ve known John for 25 years as your setup said. And I’ve gotten to know Mr. Obama quite well over the past two years. Both of them are distinguished Americans who are patriotic, who are dedicated to the welfare of our country. Either one of them, I think, would be a good president. I have said to Mr. McCain that I admire all he has done.

I have some concerns about the direction that the party has taken in recent years. It has moved more to the right than I would like to see it, but that’s a choice the party makes. And I’ve said to Mr. Obama, “You have to pass a test of do you have enough experience, and do you bring the judgment to the table that would give us confidence that you would be a good president.” And I’ve watched him over the past two years, frankly, and I’ve had this conversation with him.

I have especially watched over the last six of seven weeks as both of them have really taken a final exam with respect to this economic crisis that we are in and coming out of the conventions. And I must say that I’ve gotten a good measure of both. In the case of Mr. McCain, I found that he was a little unsure as to deal with the economic problems that we were having and almost every day there was a different approach to the problem. And that concerned me, sensing that he didn’t have a complete grasp of the economic problems that we had.

And I was also concerned at the selection of Governor Palin. She’s a very distinguished woman, and she’s to be admired; but at the same time, now that we have had a chance to watch her for some seven weeks, I don’t believe she’s ready to be president of the United States, which is the job of the vice president. And so that raised some question in my mind as to the judgment that Senator McCain made.

On the Obama side, I watched Mr. Obama and I watched him during this seven-week period. And he displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge and an approach to looking at problems like this and picking a vice president that, I think, is ready to be president on day one. And also, in not just jumping in and changing every day, but showing intellectual vigor. I think that he has a, a definitive way of doing business that would serve us well.

I also believe that on the Republican side over the last seven weeks, the approach of the Republican Party and Mr. McCain has become narrower and narrower. Mr. Obama, at the same time, has given us a more inclusive, broader reach into the needs and aspirations of our people. He’s crossing lines–ethnic lines, racial lines, generational lines. He’s thinking about all villages have values, all towns have values, not just small towns have values.

And I’ve also been disappointed, frankly, by some of the approaches that Senator McCain has taken recently, or his campaign ads, on issues that are not really central to the problems that the American people are worried about. This Bill Ayers situation that’s been going on for weeks became something of a central point of the campaign.

But Mr. McCain says that he’s a washed-out terrorist. Well, then, why do we keep talking about him? And why do we have these robocalls going on around the country trying to suggest that, because of this very, very limited relationship that Senator Obama has had with Mr. Ayers, somehow, Mr. Obama is tainted. What they’re trying to connect him to is some kind of terrorist feelings. And I think that’s inappropriate.

Now, I understand what politics is all about. I know how you can go after one another, and that’s good. But I think this goes too far. And I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It’s not what the American people are looking for. And I look at these kinds of approaches to the campaign and they trouble me. And the party has moved even further to the right, and Governor Palin has indicated a further rightward shift. I would have difficulty with two more conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, but that’s what we’d be looking at in a McCain administration.

I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian.

But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer’s no, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president? Yet, I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion, “He’s a Muslim and he might be associated terrorists.”

This is not the way we should be doing it in America. I feel strongly about this particular point because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery, and she had her head on the headstone of her son’s grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards–Purple Heart, Bronze Star–showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then, at the very top of the headstone, it didn’t have a Christian cross, it didn’t have the Star of David, it had crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he can go serve his country, and he gave his life.

Now, we have got to stop polarizing ourself in this way. And John McCain is as nondiscriminatory as anyone I know. But I’m troubled about the fact that, within the party, we have these kinds of expressions. So, when I look at all of this and I think back to my Army career, we’ve got two individuals, either one of them could be a good president. But which is the president that we need now? Which is the individual that serves the needs of the nation for the next period of time?

And I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities–and we have to take that into account–as well as his substance–he has both style and substance–he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president.

I think he is a transformational figure. He is a new generation coming into the world– onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I’ll be voting for Senator Barack Obama.

Wow! Colin Powell makes a compelling case for the Obama-Biden ticket in 2008.  Democrat Dave

What to do with Sarah Palin’s $1200 energy check to Alaskans?

From my esteemed colleague at Mudflats (http://mudflats.wordpress.com) comes this gem:

I got my $1200 energy rebate check from Sarah Palin a couple weeks ago, and so did every other human being in Alaska.  This money, which came from the wealth of oil companies doing business in Alaska, got spread around by the Governor to help Alaskans defray the rising costs of energy that made the oil companies profitable enough to provide Alaska with the money for the rebate check that defrays the cost of energy…..(you get the circular idea).

At the Alaska Women Reject Palin rally here in Anchorage, a woman drove by as I was returning to my car. She leaned out of her window and said, “Are you going to get a $1200 check this year?” “You mean the rebate check? Yes,” I said. “So how can you hate Sarah Palin!?!” she quipped, looking angry and smug at the same time. “Are you going to SPEND it???” she spat. I said the first thing that came to mind, “Yes, I’ll probably donate it to the Obama campaign.” She screeched away.

And I didn’t tell her the whole truth. I’ve actually spread my wealth around to lots of good progressive candidates, both in Alaska and outside.

Priceless.  Democrat Dave

Dick Cheney supports Barack Obama

In the spirit of acknowledging all the disingenuous lies and distortions of the McCain-Palin campaign, I made up this headline.  But, unlike the McCain-Palin campaign, I acknowledge that it’s not true. 

One of the leading neo-conservatives has, indeed, thrown his support to Barack Obama.   This guy isn’t from the “liberal media.” From the Huffington Post on the 30th of October, 2008, comes the following:

Francis Fukuyama, the prominent academic and an early intellectual defender of neoconservatism, endorses Barack Obama in the pages of the American Conservative magazine:

I’m voting for Barack Obama this November for a very simple reason. It is hard to imagine a more disastrous presidency than that of George W. Bush. It was bad enough that he launched an unnecessary war and undermined the standing of the United States throughout the world in his first term. But in the waning days of his administration, he is presiding over a collapse of the American financial system and broader economy that will have consequences for years to come. As a general rule, democracies don’t work well if voters do not hold political parties accountable for failure. While John McCain is trying desperately to pretend that he never had anything to do with the Republican Party, I think it would a travesty to reward the Republicans for failure on such a grand scale.
McCain’s appeal was always that he could think for himself, but as the campaign has progressed, he has seemed simply erratic and hotheaded. His choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate was highly irresponsible; we have suffered under the current president who entered office without much knowledge of the world and was easily captured by the wrong advisers. McCain’s lurching from Reaganite free- marketer to populist tribune makes one wonder whether he has any underlying principles at all.

So, why is anyone voting for the McCain-Palin ticket at this point? This guy has nailed it.

Enough! Obama-Biden in 2008. Democrat Dave

McCain needs help with economy–his choice?

John McCain has always admitted that the economy is not his strength. Damn the bad luck–that’s where we need the most help right now. Check out this 30-second video clip:

Let’s put an end to McCain-Palin lies about Barack Obama’s tax plans

If you’re sick and tired of John McCain’s non-stop stream of lies about Barack Obama’s tax plan, this video can help you put an end to it.  From JedL over at DailyKos comes this gem.

 

As JedL says:

As the video shows, the fact is that under Obama’s plan, 95% of Americans — including Joe the Plumber — would get a tax cut. Income over $250,000 would be taxed at pre-Bush levels (same as during the Clinton years).

That’s not spreading the wealth — that’s a tax plan designed to create wealth by strengthening the middle class.

Don’t tell Matt Drudge or FOX News, but John McCain himself took the same basic approach to taxes as Barack Obama — at least until the 2008 presidential campaign brought about some changes in his views.

Now, with just six days to go, the only thing John McCain has left to run on is a bogus and hypocritical attack on Barack Obama’s tax cut plan. To the extent this video can help reveal that truth, getting it into enough hands could help put an end to John McCain’s lies about Obama’s tax cut plan.

Thanks! Democrat Dave

Barack Obama draws 100,000 in Denver; John McCain trying to raise money

When things are going well, they’re going really well.  Barack Obama drew approximately 100,000 people to a rally in Denver today.  Guess folks want to see the next President of the United States.

I happened to receive a John McCain solicitation trying to raise money.  Immediately made me donate another $100 to Barack Obama.  Don’t worry–I’ll send in the GOP fund-raising solicitation (they pay the postage) and let them know I donated money to Barack Obama in John McCain’s name.

Here’s some key points from John McCain’s letter (you may want to grab a Kleenex before reading further–it may make you tear up a bit–not):

Dear Friend,

We’ve reached a critical juncture in the campaign.  The Obama Democrats and their left-wing, special interest allies have come forward in a united front combining their enoromous fundraising arsenal.  Meanwhile, the national Democrats led by Chairman Howard Dean are stepping up their cynical campaign of distortions and outright lies, and with the help of their cronies, are raising staggering amounts of money.

My friend, the last thing we Republicans can afford is to have our hands tied behind our backs due to the fact that their candidate broke his promise to the American people and refused to accept the presidential campaign spending limit–which means they will have no limit as to what they can raise and spend.

We simply can’t be in a situation where the Democrats hold a huge financial advantage over us in the last crucial month leading up to the elections.  That’s why I am writing to you today, as a most valued and trusted member of our Party.

You support is essential right now.  So, please send in a generous Emergency Membership Contribution of $35, $50, $100, $500 or even more if you can afford it.

…I would not ask for your help if the circumstances were not so dire.  However, it is clear that the weeks and days ahead will be the most important yet in our battle to defeat the Democrats and their deeply flawed policies that embrace higher taxes, more government spending, socialized medicine and surrender in Iraq.

…Thank you for your steadfast support of our Party and our country.

Sincerely, John McCain

John McCain lies even in his fundraising messages. What a pathetic guy he’s become as a result of this election.  But, that issue aside–since McCain accepted public funds, how can he still be raising money?  Or, do those rules not apply because “McCain says so?”

Enough!! Obama-Biden in 2008! Democrat Dave

Change: Barack Obama and the “wassup” dudes

Hasn’t Cindy McCain made her fortune from Budweiser?  Oh well…

Is the election over yet?

If you believe the polls, the Obama-Biden ticket is going to have a resounding victory against the McCain-Palin ticket.  I believe the polls.  Why?  Obama is consistently ahead in the polls.  This mitigates the potential issue of a one-off polling result such as the AP poll we saw earlier this week.

Democrats can’t become complacent–we need to get out the vote to ensure that we close the deal for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.  Polls don’t win elections–it’s only the final vote tally that counts!!   Michele Obama reminds us yesterday that we can take nothing for granted.

I got really ill about 10 days ago and am well on the mend now.  I was so sick, I missed the final debate.  That’s sick!  The McCain-Palin tone hasn’t promoted better health for me.  It’s only made me crave an Obama-Biden victory and for us to “get this over with.”

I’ve now reached the point where, like George Bush, I don’t want to hear anything that John McCain or Sarah Palin have to say.   It’s all about bashing Obama-Biden, not telling us why they offer a better solution for America.

The McCain-Palin ticker only advances FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) about Barack Obama.  The American people aren’t buying it.  McCain-Palin aren’t mavericks, they aren’t for the middle class, and they really aren’t for change.  They are for pandering to their base.

The McCain-Palin campaign has become a travesty for them and good news for the Democrats–the GOP down-party races, e.g., House, Senate, etc., are suffering due to the McCain-Palin ticket.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden want a victory to help steer this country in a different direction.  McCain-Palin want to win to preserve the status quo.  In my mind, the choice is clear:  Obama-Biden is the ticket!!

Enough!  Obama-Biden in 2008!!  Democrat Dave

100,000 attend Barack Obama rally in St. Louis

John McCain: horrible judgement about Sarah Palin

Conservatives continue to take issue with John McCain for his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.  In an article today titled Bush Strategist: McCain Knows He Put Country at Risk with Palin Pick  by Sam Stein of the Huffington Post:

Matthew Dowd, a prominent political consultant and chief strategist for George W. Bush’s reelection campaign eviscerated John McCain on Tuesday for his choice of Sarah Palin as vice president.

Dowd proclaimed that, in his heart of hearts, McCain knew he put the country at risk with his VP choice and that he would “have to live” with that fact for the rest of his career.

This isn’t the “liberal media” making this observation–this is a Conservative insider! How could any Conservatives still be thinking about voting for McCain-Palin? It is a puzzlement.

Enough! Obama-Biden in 2008!! Democrat Dave

Conservative media on McCain-Palin campaign

Conversatives are pretty upset with John McCain and the campaign he has run including the choice of Sarah Palin.  Let’s look at today’s media reports.

Here’s what Conservative, NeoCon media guru Bill Kristol says about McCain in a New York Times piece today:

It’s time for John McCain to fire his campaign. He has nothing to lose. His campaign is totally overmatched by Obama’s. The Obama team is well organized, flush with resources, and the candidate and the campaign are in sync. The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed.
He may be anyway.

Here’s what Conservative, NeoCon media guru Christopher Hitchens says about the McCain-Palin campaign:

With McCain, the “experience” is subject to sharply diminishing returns, as is the rest of him, and with Palin the very word itself is a sick joke. One only wishes that the election could be over now and a proper and dignified verdict rendered, so as to spare democracy and civility the degradation to which they look like being subjected in the remaining days of a low, dishonest campaign.

RedState co-founder Joshua Trevino writes on his blog that:

…he can’t bring himself to vote for the Republican ticket. In the end, I couldn’t do it. My California ballot arrived in the mail today, and I opened it fully intending to vote for John McCain….Do I believe in John McCain? Not as much as I used to. Do I believe in Sarah Palin? Despite my early enthusiasm for her, now not at all. Do I believe in the national Republican Party? Not in the slightest — even though I see no meaningful alternative to it.

As you might imagine, John McCain doesn’t see it this way. But, then again, there’s a lot of things he’s not been able to see during this campaign.

Enough! Obama-Biden in 2008!! Democrat Dave

The leading headline on the Huffington Post says it all:

Active duty soldiers favor Obama over McCain

John McCain has lost favor with active duty soldiers stationed overseas.  From an article in the San Diego Union back in August 2008, you’ll find the following: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080816/news_1n16mildonor.html

 U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, according to a nonpartisan group.

Troops serving abroad have given more than five times as much money to Obama’s presidential campaign as they have to McCain’s, the Center for Responsive Politics said.

The GOP and John McCain are in trouble with this constituency.   But, they are in trouble with most all constituencies.  No big surprise here.  Democrat Dave

John McCain: suspend your campaign–it’s over

Dear John McCain: 

My friend, it’s over.  Please stop tearing down America, your party and yourself.  You’ve lost your integrity and a lot of respect over the past few months.  It’s too bad that you were willing to give that away.

We know what you’re about and the American people say “no thank you” to you being President of the United States. 

You are out of ideas and credible plans to help resolve 21st century issues.  You sound irritable, cranky and out of touch.  It’s time for you to get off the stage.

The American people deserve more from you than the crap you and Sarah Palin bring to the table. We don’t need 27 more days of this.  We can’t stand any more of your “maverick, reform” B.S.  It made for a great drinking game with all those Joe Six-Packs out there!

If you really are for “Country First,” suspend your campaign, go home to one of your homes (you choose which one) and relax.  Sure, the GOP and the NeoCons are going to be furious with you for screwing up your campaign.  But, it’s time for a change and you can’t fill the bill.  Neither can your VP choice.

You aren’t entitled to the Presidency of the United States simply because you were a POW.  Sorry. Thanks for your service to our country.  End your campaign honorably now.  

Enough!  Obama-Biden in 2008.

Little support for McCain with active duty soldiers and veterans

I had the privilege of speaking with an Army soldier last evening who was just back from Iraq as we rode the SkyLink between terminals at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport.

• He told me the vast majority of our troops are disappointed that there hasn’t been stronger diplomatic engagement before engaging in war. 
• His view is the same as mine:  Putting Americans in harms way should be done as a last resort, not a first step.
• He indicated that our troops get to vote and the vast majority are supporting Barack Obama. He said that, while they have to support the Commander in Chief, the good news is they get to vote for their next Commander in Chief and they are looking forward to getting a new one.

I told him that my sense is that all Americans support the troops; few Americans support the war and that there’s a huge difference between the 2 positions.  He understood and agreed with my assessment.

He’s not sure whether he’s going back to Iraq or off to Afghanistan.  He knows his visit home will be short.

I thanked him for his service to our country.  We shook hands and went our separate ways.

Pray for the safety of our troops.  And, pray that Barack Obama is our next President.  Democrat Dave

Assessing who wins the Obama McCain debate

From my consulting colleague Leslie Unger of Electric Impulse Communications (www.electricimpulse.com) comes sage advice for viewing the Presidential debates.  This advice has no political bias.

10 Tips to Watch Tonight’s Presidential Town Hall

These tips are designed to help you view the Town Hall format and the candidates with a communication mindset. Once you read this you can talk about the candidates as to how they communicated: which is separate from their/your political views.
 

1. Look for who conveys “Presidential.”

If you remember 9/11 then you know this is an important characteristic. Who embodies trust, belief, and inspiration? Issues will change, who do you believe can provide fundamental change and federal leadership?
 
2. Look for Who Best Represents Your Personal Future

Who do you believe, based on values or logic, best represents your future for the next four or eight years?
 
3. Look for Who Most Effectively Represents the Country’s Future

Who sounds and looks like they represent the America of 2009, 2010, and 2012?

Who sounds and looks like they represent the future of America in a global world?
 

4. Listen for Who Has a Vision

A strategic mindset is a huge asset in today’s world. Vision is both a mindset and the ability to communicate that mindset to get buy-in from the audience. Who has a vision, is strategic in word and deed? Remember, strategy is the “what”, tactical is the “how”.

5. Listen for Who is Consistent

Consistency has great value, in your company and in this race. Who is most consistent, day in and day out, in a debate, in an interview, in their action; over a period of time?

6. Observe and Record Your Mental and Emotional Responses
                  
Make a note each time you agree or disagree with a statement by each nominee. Make a note of each time you say to yourself, “That makes sense,” and each time you say to ourself, “That’s nonsense.”

Do keep in mind, however, that your mental responses always will reflect your values, your beliefs, your bias, and your prejudices.

If you can honestly admit to yourself that you are not seeing or hearing the nominee objectively, if you would praise one and criticize the other no matter what he said, record your responses at only half value to offset your bias.

7. Listen for Who Demonstrates “Question Avoidance”

A standard technique taught in media training for politicians is to sidestep questions they do not wish to answer and instead focus on their talking points. When it is done well, when the art of dodging is hidden, it is invisible. When it is not done well, it looks and sounds like spinning and audiences tend to dislike the act and the person perpetuating the spin.

8. Watch Eye Movement

According to basic eye movement cues in the lexicon of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), you can tell a lot about what’s happening inside a person’s mind by the person’s eye movements. You are looking for congruity, that is, when they eyes and the mouth are expressing the same things.

Here are five basic cues from NLP:
* Eyes Up and Left: remembered imagery [e.g., remembering the facts].
* Eyes Up and Right: constructed imagery and visual fantasy [e.g., creating a lie].
* Eyes Lateral Right: remembered sounds and words and “tape loops”
* Eyes Down and Left: Internal dialogue, or inner self-talk.
* Eyes Straight Ahead but Defocused or Dilated: Quick access to sensory information, usually visual [e.g., telling the truth] Other useful links at Kenesic.com

9. Watch Body Language

You can learn much about the nominee by his body language. Does he cross his arms or put a hand in his pocket? Does he gesture with his hand open or balled into a fist? Are his shoulders relaxed or hunched around his neck. Are his hands relaxed or fidgeting? Is he smiling naturally or forcing a smile? You are looking for congruity, that is, when they body and the mouth are expressing the same things.

10. Fact Check for Mistakes and Purposeful Misconceptions

I suggest going to the following independent sources: Annenberg’s FactCheck.org, The Washington Post, Fact Checker Blog, St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly and the public fact-checking website, Spot.us.

Enjoy the debate! Democrat Dave

Obama-Biden lead grows; McCain-Palin attacks not working

The Obama-Biden lead continues to grow daily all across America–excellent news!!

The McCain-Palin campaign is becoming increasingly strident as they have no message that is resonating with the American people.  

• Meanwhile, McCain-Palin will do everything they can to undermine Barack Obama’s campaign. 
• Watch for the GOP to continue the FUD–fear, uncertainty and doubt–campaign.  
• Look for Obama-Biden to continue to sharpen the differences between the respective visions of the 2 campaigns.

The American people are properly seeing that the McCain-Palin ticket lacks the talent, capacity, vision and leadership to bring the change America needs.

The GOP hold on the White House is about to be a distant memory.  I can’t wait!

Enough!  Obama-Biden in 2008.  Democrat Dave
