McCain campaign is following in Hillary’s footsteps — Says Ed Rollins, who served as political director for President Reagan, is a Republican strategist who was national chairman of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s 2008 presidential campaign.
By Ed Rollins:
NEW YORK (CNN) — A campaign at war with itself cannot fight its opponent effectively.
“…And while chaos and disarray reigned supreme in Sen. Barack Obama’s opponents’ campaigns, the steady, disciplined and strategically driven Obama campaign marches forward toward likely victory.”
“….We now see something similar in the McCain campaign. There have been at least three major managerial changes or overthrows in the past 18 months.”
“….John McCain is saying one thing on the stump, his running mate another. But the worst sin is that his advertising campaign is incoherent and putting out multiple and inconsistent messages….”
James Carville’s famous slogan in Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory over the first Bush: “It’s the economy stupid!” can now be replaced with “You morons, what have you done with my money, my life and my kids’ future?” …[MORE]
The GOP goes back to its ugly roots — McCain is resurrecting the GOP’s oldest tactic: Smearing Obama as a scary black terrorist sympathizer. But he may meet the same fate as Barry Goldwater. — Gary Kamiya ..[ more ]
As Obama holds a steady lead in the polls, the slime-ball McCain campaign has switched gears — and become a decrepit and segregationist “swift-boating” morass of Racism.
Fear and Smear is the new economic policy of McCain and Palin.
At a time when most Americans are really anxious about their economic future, John McCain has unleashed the “racist syphilis” in him, which is being peddled from state to state by his wicked witch – the shallow fork-tongued interlectual midget, and now, the female-bigot from Alaska, Sarah Palin.
“Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,” Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America,” she said. “We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism.”
This despicable smear slyly suggests that Obama is a terrorist, scary, alien, un-American, a subversive, a traitor and a criminal….”like every other black man.”
McCain’s rallies have become HATE MEETINGS, with some braying for Obama’s life!
Last week’s VP debate, which only the “delusionally sick” believe Palin won, has emboldened Sarah the bigot.” She is now trotting around with the hardened resolve of a hardcore prostitute, squealing like a pig at feeding time.
Palin’s statement(s) seem to be the “whistle” the pack of Syphilitic Nincompoops at Fox News, led by the in-house Nazi Sean Hannity, have been waiting for.
They are trying their utmost best to portray Obama as some “Manchurian Candidate” who will sneak into the White House and then nuke every city in America. To them, Obama is from the “politically soiled and filthy culture of Chicago,” unfit to be an American — maybe he is a member of the Chicago mob, a recipe for a tragedy!
The sickest of them all at Fox news is Sean Hannity — who has repeatedly mis-characterized Obama’s “air-raiding villages” statement, among many other distortions and outright lies.
On his show, Hannity & Colmes (O’Hannity & Coward), Sean Hannity praised Gov. Sarah Palin for citing Sen. Barack Obama’s remark that more coalition forces are needed in Afghanistan “so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” Hannity did not note that Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently offered Afghans “sincere condolences and personal regrets for the recent loss of innocent life as a result of coalition airstrikes” and that news outlets have repeatedly reported that U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan have resulted in civilian casualties….

On his radio show(s), Rush Limbaugh (the other big right-wing scum-bag on radio) has made numerous false statements about Obama’s health-care plan, his employment history, his legislative record, his work on behalf of veterans, and whether he puts his hand over his heart during the national anthem….

McCain is using the same tactics Bush used on him in the 2000 Republican Primaries, when Bush waged a nasty smear campaign against him.
In 2008 McCain has become McBush:
“What Bush did to McCain in the 2000 S. C. primary”
Bush Supporters Called McCain “The Fag Candidate.” — In South Carolina, Bush supporters circulated church fliers that labeled McCain “the fag candidate.” Columnist Frank Rich noted that the fliers were distributed “even as Bush subtly reinforced that message by indicating he wouldn’t hire openly gay people for his administration.”
Bush Supporters Questioned McCain’s Sanity — Some of George W. Bush’s supporters questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s fitness for the White House, suggesting that his five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam drove him insane at the time.
McCain Was Accused of Fathering Illegitimate Children and A Drug-Addict Wife — Among the rumors circulated against McCain in 2000 in South Carolina was that his adopted Bangladeshi daughter was actually black, that McCain was both gay and cheated on his wife, and that his wife Cindy was a drug addict.” Carl Rove (who is now working for McCain), Bush’s strategist took it further — claiming that McCain had committed treason while a prisoner of war, and had fathered a child with a black prostitute.”
The Bush Campaign Used Code Words to Question McCain’s Temper — Using the code word “temper,” a group of Senate Republicans, and at least some outriders of the George W. Bush campaign, spread the word that John McCain is unstable. The subtext, also suggested in this whispering campaign, was that he returned from 5 1/2 years as a POW in North Vietnam with a loose screw, and that he shouldn’t be entrusted with nuclear weapons.”
5. McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five – Savings and Loans scandal, which almost derailed his career. The Keating scandal is eerily similar to the financial crisis of today.
KEATING ECONOMICS: John McCain & The Making of a Financial Crisis
….and a lot more.
Obama being the “nice man” that he is, might not be willing to stab McCain right through the heart, but I strongly feel that he should at least kick him hard in the groin by bringing up the issue of Carol McCain — McCain’s first wife, who he dumped immediately after he came back from Vietnam, for Cindy and her “Beer Inheritance,” and because he couldn’t stand her disfigured body — after a terrible car crash in 1969.
John McCain is a sleazy, racist opportunist.

1.Will Palin’s Obama-Terrorist Speech Backfire? — John McCain occasionally looks back on decisions with regret. He has apologized for opposing a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He has apologized for refusing to call for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol. When the 2008 campaign is over McCain might regret appeals such as Palin’s perhaps more so if he wins.
5.Ugly Time — There seems to be no bottom for the McCain campaign. The candidate himself joined his running mate in the gutter Monday, with a stream-of-consciousness rant against Obama in New Mexico
6.Dishonorable — McCain-Palin ad distorts Obama’s remark on Afghanistan and support for troop-funding bills.
“Former Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee has called vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin a “cocky wacko” and said her selection as John McCain’s running mate has energized supporters of Democrat Barack Obama.
Chafee left the Republican Party last year after losing his bid for re-election and now supports Obama. He told an audience Tuesday at the New America Foundation in Washington that the Alaska governor has revived a “lackluster McCain candidacy.” — The Associated Press
I wouldn’t call Governor Palin a “cocky wacko“, but she certainly has a lot of confidence for a vice-presidential candidate who is totally unqualified for the office she is seeking. I can’t wait to see how long her cockiness will hold up when she’s interviewed by the likes of a Chris Wallace or a Chris Mathews.
Palin does subscribe to some wacky views: Opposition to abortion except to save life of the mother, opposition to stem-cell research, vendetta against Polar Bears, believes global warming isn’t caused by humans, thinks it’s kosher to shoot game from the air, belongs to a church that believes homosexuality is a perversion that can be cured be the faithful praying in tongues, believes she can get away without holding press conferences or granting interviews to the press…
Chafee is correct, Palin has energized the “lackluster McCain candidacy.” McCain is so boring and lifeless I’m surprised someone hasn’t checked his wrist for a pulse instead of shaking his hand. Even if McCain had selected an incontinent monkey as his running mate, it would have energized his campaign.
Palin is wacky, but she’s also intelligent, confident and very attractive — qualities the media loves. Of course Palin gets more media attention than McCain, a geezer watering his lawn would draw more media buzz than McCain.
Palin calls herself a “Pit Bull with lipstick“, but a cocky and wacky Pit Bull with or without lipstick is a very dangerous animal. It will be a disaster for America if the Palin/McBush ticket wins the general election.
“Obama will NOT get my vote, and one step more,” Ellen Thorp, a 59-year-old flight attendant from Houston told me. “I have been a Democrat for 38 years. As of today, I am registering as an independent. Yee Haw!”
Jean B. Grillo, an “over 50″ writer in lower Manhattan, was pretty straightforward: “I am so tired as a white, ultra-liberal, McGovern-voting, civil-rights marching, anti-war fighting highly educated professional woman who totally supports Hillary Clinton to be attacked and vilified as racist and or dumb.”
Shauna Morris, a 44-year-old lawyer from Largo, Fla., said, “I am upper-middle class, and I still can’t stand him — and it has nothing to do with race, believe me.”
“Many of us feel slighted,” said Lynn Eyrich Harvey, 76, from Los Gatos, Calif. “We feel that years of supporting the party is unimportant, that we are to sit down and shut up — but be sure to vote Democratic in November.”
“How Obama’s campaign has treated Hillary will not be forgotten,” Janet Rogers, 55, who runs a Bed and Breakfast in Medina, Ohio. “I will vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee. My husband and friends all feel the same way.”

LOL!
If you look at my postings on this blog, one thing is clear — I do not dislike Hillary as a person. I do dislike her tactics — race-baiting and so forth…
If she had beaten Obama fairly, I would have supported her unconditionally — for Republicans are FILTHY SLIME no human being in their right mind should support.
Hillary was not beaten by Obama with the help of the press for she had “FOX ‘Bigot’ News” plus numerous right-wing radio pundits pontificating to whites “frightened of black men” working for her, while MSNBC and left-wing radio favored Obama.
She just lost, plain and simple — to a better prepared candidate. Her arrogance, disorganization, lack of foresight and sense of entitlement did her in…and here are some more reasons why she lost.
…and by the way, there are millions of females, especially younger ones supporting Obama….why not you?
This prompts me to ask the question: “What the heck is the matter with these women?“…Obama has been a gentleman all through!
It seems to me that some of these women have taken the “I get the house and the children ‘syndrome,’” a common divorce settlement in American courts too far!
Obama has his work cut out for him — calming down millions of irate, sometimes dumb and racist white women.
It will be a very difficult task after the deranged narcissism exhibited by Ma. Clinton during this just concluded “Silly” primary season!
Ladies, remember to THINK before you cast your ballot in November — Your only other options will be McDUMB, McWarMonger, McSAME, McBUSH, McTHUG, McReTHUGlican and McBOMB….who sincerely believe in the following: click here to read
The just concluded democratic primary was not an episode of “Divorce Court,” rather it was a contest leading to the election of the most “powerful person” in the world — Obama floored the Clinton machine amidst “assassination threats,” blatant racism and rampant mis-information — fired from all directions, and he fully deserves to compete in the grand finale — in November, against ReTHUGlican John McBOMB.
By the way, Hillary gave a very strong speech today, and hopefully she will follow up to help Obama get elected.
If she follows up effectively, all will be forgiven. If she doesn’t and Obama is defeated because of her “White Female” core constituency — she better remember that in 2012(if she decides to run again) she may experience multiple episodes of “Angry Black Females,” “Angry Black Men,” “Angry Left-Wing Liberals” and “Angry Young Males and Females – White & Black” — Obama’s core constituency.
My guns are now aimed squarely at the forehead of McDUMB ….who by the way, and I sincerely believe, is not a bad man, but the thought of victory for Right-Wing ReTHUGlicanism just makes me want to puke!
P/S — Beautiful And Very Happy Black Women!
Potential new brides for Swazi King Mswati III of Swaziland — The King has an “annual opportunity” to take a new wife. These women are participating in the “Reed Dance” – the ceremony used by the King to select a new spouse each year.
It seems this is the end of the road for Ma. Clinton.
Reports internet-wide indicate that as of Monday, Clinton campaign staffers are being urged by the campaign’s finance department to turn in their outstanding expense receipts by the end of the week, an indication that the campaign wants to get its affairs in order and to initiate an end to the 15 month duel with Obama.
The campaign is in debt to the tune of about $11 million.
Some other reports indicate the opposite: ABC News’ Kate Snow and Eloise Harper report that Clinton spokesperson Mo Elleithee came to the back of the press plane as Clinton flew from Rapid City to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and said: “I think its pretty clear that she is not conceding.” “I think its pretty clear that she is staying in this race. She is going, in the coming days, to be aggressively courting uncommitted superdelegates aggressively courting unpledged delegates, making the case to them that she is a candidate best ready to take on John McCain.”
When asked directly when Clinton will step aside, Elietthee told the reporters, “as she has said dozens and dozens of times she is in this race until we have a nominee…Until there is a nominee she is going to try to win support.” ….[MORE]
Meanwhile Obama told reporters that he spoke by phone with Clinton on Sunday, and that he congratulated her on winning Puerto Rico and apologized for the controversial remarks made by Father Michael Pfleger while speaking at his former church.
“I emphasized to her what an extraordinary race that she’s run and said that there aren’t too many people who understand exactly how hard she’s been working. I’m one of ‘em because she and I have been on this same journey together, and told her that once the dust settled I was looking forward to meeting with her at a time and place of her choosing. We’ve still got two more contests to go and I’m sure that there will be further conversations after Tuesday,” said Obama. ….[MORE]
On Tuesday night Obama will deliver a speech in in St. Paul, Minnesota — the site of the Republican National Convention that will nominate Arizona Sen. McCain in September.
“Minnesota is an important battleground state,” said Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki. “The McCain campaign has made it clear they will compete there aggressively. We will too.”
Meanwhile “Slick Willy” is still in Attack-Mode: Bill Clinton exploded in response to this article “The Comeback Id,” by Todd Purdum of Vanity Fair.
He called the author “sleazy,” “dishonest,” “slimy” and a “scumbag!”
Finally, Ted Kennedy had what what his doctors termed a “successful” surgery to remove “most” of the cancerous tumor in his brain. The ‘Liberal Lion‘ suffered a seizure at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass. about two weeks ago, and was rushed by helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston where doctors diagnosed brain cancer.
Good Luck Ted!
