Hoping to win-over economically anxious voters, McCain, a few days ago, launched “Joe the Plumber” tour — with a “Low-Road Express” bus tour through one of the Florida’s most battered and hotly contested regions.

‘We shouldn’t be taxing our small businesses more, as Sen. Obama wants to do. We need to be helping them expand their businesses and create jobs,’ said McCain, as he launched his latest in a series of failed Gimmicks this campaign season.

‘His name is Richard, but he’s Joe the Plumber,’ McCain said of Richard Rivers, the owner of a floral shop, whom he met at the Starlite Diner in Daytona Beach.

Playing the POW/NAVY card, McCain proclaimed: ‘I’m glad to be back in Florida, where I spent part of my Navy career and loved every minute of it,’ said McCain. ‘Obama will say anything to get elected.’

‘Joe The Plumber’ — A Failed Campaign Gimmick

Confused Hypocrites

A Sad Sinking Ship

Throughout this campaign, John McCain has been offering the same old gimmicks and tired “Republican Sound Bites,” geared to distract voters away from the real issues.

There was the “Gas Holiday,” then came “Ebay as the cure for unemployment,” “Offshore Drilling,” …..and the stupid “Suspension of his Campaign,” that almost jeopardized the second of three presidential debates, and perhaps the worst gimmick of them all was the his selection of the totally inept shrieking cow — Sarah Palin, as his running mate.

Palin has been thoroughly disparaged by her fellow conservatives:

Palin is a “symptom and expression of a new vulgarization of American politics,” said former Reagan speech writer Peggy Noonan. She is a “fatal cancer to the Republican Party,” said New York Times columnist David Brooks.

Country First?

Nope, for John McCain it is erratic and MUD politics first! McCain is a washed up cold-war relic, who has been totally outclassed and outsmarted by THE ONE — yes, Barack “Hussein” Obama.

Go home, you wrinkled pest!

Obama on McCain’s Gimmicks

…and now he is trying to bamboozle his way into the white house with perhaps the most stupid of all — The ‘Joe The Plumber‘ gimmick, sprung from a sneaky and lying tax-cheat, Ohio native, Joe Wurzelbacher.

In between McCain’s oscillating phalanx of gimmicks, a female supporter cum “racist sexual hoaxter,” going by the name of Ashley Todd, a 20-year-old college student from Texas, made up a story of being robbed, pinned to the ground and having the letter “B’ scratched on her face in what she said was a politically inspired attack by a “BIG STRONG” black man.

CNN Reports on McCain Supporter Attack Hoax

Ashley admitted Friday that the story was false, including the claim that the “B‘ stood for “Barack.” She was charged with making a false report to police, and is now facing a misdemeanor false-report charge, which is punishable by up to two years in prison.

The McCain excuse for this woman’s actions — “she has mental health issues,” knowing very well that this woman’s actions are a direct result of his and Palin’s recent “Town Hall Hate Meetings.”

Where have we heard this before?

America has a racist history of white women blaming innocent black men of sexual assaults. From the time the black male landed on American soil at the onset of slavery, the white male has always felt threatened — white men don’t like the idea of black men cavorting with their females, and have always played the white female against the “savage” black male.

“The white male created the black male savage stereotype to maintain the race/gender hierarchy. Painting black men as a legitimate threat to white women forestalls partnerships that could potential lead to the emancipation of both parties from white male hegemony.” “From Susan Smith (of South Carolina who drove her two kids into the lake and then accused a black man of abducting them), to Carroll Donham, white women have been either complicit in false accusations against black men, or else have been used as props in justifying murdering black men.” — GlobalComment.com | Read More Here: A Tale of a Scary Black Man |

Rachel Maddow’s Take on This “Race Baiting Hoax”

The racist right-wing Republicans(DixieCrats) have a vicious history of Rope and Lynching.

Not to be left behind in the “Hoaxter-Terrorism Theater,” McCain’s brother Joe McCain, made a 911(emergency) call to the Alexandria, VA Police, after he got stuck in traffic, in the same northern Virginia area he had previously characterized as “Communist Country,” on behalf of McCain’s campaign.

Excerpts from calls made by Joe McCain, younger brother of GOP presidential candidate John McCain, made to 911 and the Alexandria Police after he got stuck in traffic.

McCain called 911 to figure out why he was stuck in traffic near I-495’s Wilson Bridge.

Operator: 911, state your emergency.

Joe McCain: Well, it’s not an emergency, but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95 traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic’s coming the other way?

Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic?

McCain uttered an expletive and hung up the phone.
___

THE OLD FOOL THEN CALLED 911 AGAIN

Alexandria police: Did you just call 911 in reference to this? 911 is used for emergencies only, not because you’re just sitting in traffic.

Joe McCain: This isn’t traffic. This is a pretty serious malfunction. … Do we just sit here indefinitely while this bridge malfunctions?

Alexandria police: Honestly, sir, we have no control over the bridge. … Maybe you can contact VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation) or the Maryland Department of Transportation.

As you can see — the famous McCain ANGER is in the bloodline.

John McCain said this on February 3, 2008, when talking about his run for the White House: ‘We will run an honorable campaign.‘ McCain made that statement in response to a question about whether his campaign would resemble George Bush’s run for the White House in 2000, one of the nastier campaigns on record.

He has not kept his word.

McCain has become downright nasty, ugly and racist, assisted by the “gutter shrieking cow” — Sarah Palin

Anyone who doesn’t call McCain’s campaign for what it is — A RACIST INCOMPETENT CESSPOOL — is a racist scumbag himself!

Twelve days removed from election day, John Sidney McCain’s Low-Road Express is a sinking ship, a big FAT Hoax. A dead, hopeless and clueless political quagmire, infested with racist snakes and scared bigots.

Ramesh Ponnuru writes:

If Senator McCain believes that he can help to enact a plan that can stabilize the markets and lay the foundation for future growth, then suspending the campaign and going to Washington was the right thing to do.

But it is hard to see what McCain can do to help, and easy to see how his intervention could hurt. He brings, as he himself has admitted in the past, no expertise to the table. And won’t Democrats be less likely to cooperate on a plan if doing so will help make McCain be the hero of the hour?

So McCain’s move may have been a mistake on substance. It may prove to be a political mistake too: If McCain can’t bring both parties together in an economic crisis after staking so much on it, won’t voters draw adverse conclusions about his leadership ability?

Some Reactions:

ricinro85212 — When my nephew was born (home delivery with midwife) they asked me to boil water. This way I was doing something without getting in the way. Afterall, I knew nothing about delivering babies.

JJames081 — I think McCain finally cracked. The pressure has finally got to him.

What is he going to do if he’s elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!

George Will, columnist, put it this way–yesterday: “Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high. It is not Barack Obama.”

I guess he knew things brewing in McCain’s camp!

Jon Stewart - “The presidential campaign is not like
a football game where you can take a timeout.”

jackjburke — McCain’s grandstanding and insertion of presidential politics into this mess will only make it more difficult to achieve passage of legislation. A compromise was emerging before he made his big announcement. We can only hope that President Paulson tells him to butt out.

john7 — What was the campaign news of the morning when we all woke up this morning:

a) The ABC / WaPo poll showing Obama taking a clear lead nationally.

b) The revelation that Rick Davis has been taking regular payments from Fannie Mae up until last month. Essentially, McCain’s campaign director was selling access to McCain, but the candidate himself disputed that just a few days ago.

It’s clear that the McCain camp realized that they were on the brink of annihilation and had to do something dramatic. So they did. Country first? Not so much. White-knuckled terror that the campaign was getting to a point of no return? I’d say so.

dolph924 — McCain has been hemoraging support in the polls, as he should be, given that his deregulatory efforts and those of his cronies like Phil Graham are responsible for the collapse of financial institutions. He would try ANYthing to avoid more of same, just as his advertising strategy of new lies and distortions daily was designed to avoid talking about issues at all costs.

I think he will be perceived for what he is — a rash man over his head as soon as issues become complicated.

His rash pick of the unqualified Palin, his daily flip flops on economic issues and then desperate attempts to lie his way out of such matters as saying the economy was fundamentally sound the day the collapse began, his saying he would fire the SEC chairman (as if the SEC were somehow at fault as opposed to the Graham Leach Bliley bill), etc. etc. McCain has recurring anger management problems, serious memory problems, and makes decisions as if he has ADD. What a scary thought to have this guy in the White House with the completely unqualified Palin sitting on the front porch waiting for him to die.

Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once so independent, she was once a member of their party, which, since the 1970s, has been pushing for a legal vote for Alaskans to decide whether or not residents of the 49th state can secede from the United States.

The AIP platform states that the purpose of the party is to “seek the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska in conformance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, of the federal constitution … To prohibit all bureaucratic regulations and judicial rulings purporting to have the effect of law, except that which shall be approved by the elected legislature … To support the privatization of government services …’

And while McCain’s motto — as seen in TV ads — is “Country First,” the AIP’s motto is the exact opposite — “Alaska First — Alaska Always.” …

ALASKA FIRST!

Until we as Alaskans receive our Ultimate Goal, the AIP will continue to strive to make Alaska a better place to live with less government interference in our everyday lives.

The Alaskan Independence Party’s goal is the vote we were entitled to in 1958, one choice from among the following four alternatives:

1) Remain a Territory.

2) Become a separate and Independent Nation.

3) Accept Commonwealth status.

4) Become a State.

The call for this vote is in furtherance of the dream of the Alaskan Independence Party’s founding father, Joe Vogler, which was for Alaskans to achieve independence under a minimal government, fully responsive to the people, promoting a peaceful and lawful means of resolving differences.

Alaska Stats:

Alaska is a state in the United States of America, in the northwest of the North American continent. It is the largest U.S. state by area, and the 6th wealthiest (per capita income).

The area that became Alaska was purchased from the Russian Empire after Congress concluded its resources could be vitally important to the nation’s future growth.

The United States completed the purchase on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million at 2 U.S. cents per acre, about 5 U.S. cents per hectare.

When adjusted for inflation, the total sum paid equates to approximately $360 million in 2008 dollars.

The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized territory on May 11, 1912 and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.

The name “Alaska” was already introduced in the Russian colonial time, when it was only used for the peninsula and is derived from the Aleut alaxsxaq, meaning “the mainland,” or more literally, “the object towards which the action of the sea is directed.”

It is also known as Alyeska, the “great land”, an Aleut word derived from the same root.
