They (O'Reilly and others) were making an issue of the Obama ad that quoted his votes from a few years ago where he voted with Bush 90% of the time. Only to find out, the most recent polling of him showed an even greater alliance between McCain and Bush.

The WSJ talking about one metric, one way to measure the candidates, while ignoring other metrics, is conservative misinformation.

Doesn't that contradict the flip-flopping from Johnnie Mac?

No.  He's flipped from previous positions to vote WITH Bush and collect the Bush family fund raising machine.

Mary, your answer for the Wuss threw him off his game. Shame on you. He never would have thought of it that way.

We'll find him on the next thread.

Ah OK, got it.

flip-flop twice (or any multiple of two) you end up with the original theme. just keep count

Figures don't lie, but liars figure.  it figures.

Amazing how they manipulate the data to hide Mccain's atrocious voting record including he holds a 60% plus  record for absenses. Chute, I can pick out a certain year where i was a really good kid and portray that as my record.

Yet again ... MM takes an article that is very unflattering to Sen. McCain and cherrypicks a fact buried in it.

The casual reader will get the gist of the article, "Republican Trio Crosses Party Lines To Back Obama" and see that this is not good news for the senator.

"Conservative misinformation"? Hardly!

Yet again - Shoes nitpicks a story in a vain attempt to make her side look good, fails miserably, and slithers away.

Why don't you ever respond, Shoes? Are you chicken?

The WSJ did the cherry-picking, not MM.

 

(off topic alert: another republican wacko has committed a terrorist attack on US soil: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/14/us/14arkansas.html?ref=politics)

Where in your link (or anywhere else) does it state that the gunman was a republican?

I am also not privy to that inside information concerning the gunman's political affiliation, like the Governor is, apparently.  Or did he just make that up????

Well, he didn't make up the shooting, that's for sure. The Dem party chairman, Bill Gwatney died. While it doesn't say why the guy did it you have to wonder why someone would specifically ask for the democratic party chairman and then proceed to kill him in cold blood. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out this is another right wing nut like the one who recently went on a shooting spree at a church because it had liberal views.

It could be personal and nothing do with politics, geesh......trying to score a political point off of some tragedy is beneath contempt.

I'm gonna assume that if it does come out that it was for political reasons that you'll apologize for that remark. ;)

The political affiliations of some nutcase, who in cold blood guns down somebody, is not a pressing issue for me, sorry.  

I'm not a Dem, so I've no political points to score, but if you can speculate that it was a shooting not based on politics, others can surely, and, in my opinion, be far more close to the truth in assuming it was a political hit. 

You specifically called him a Republican with absolutely no factual basis, and you say you've no political point to score? 

Now that's one for the books, LOL!

I specifically assume he's a Republican.  If I'm wrong, I'll admit it, and if right, I'll drop it.

It's shameless to even assume his political affiliation unless you're out to shamelessly score political points, which you did, and you are.

Shameful. 

And it's pathetic of you to try and score points as you pretend to give a shit.

PS: we will learn that he's a member of the NRA and votes Republican.

The Associated Press has reported the shooting suspect as 50-year-old Timothy Dale Johnson of Searcy, Arkansas. No motive is known, but it is reported that moments after he fired shots at Gwatney, he told the building manager at the nearby Arkansas Baptist headquarters, "I lost my job."

SEARCY, Ark. (AP) — The sheriff's office says a search of Arkansas gunman Timothy Dale Johnson's home turned up 14 guns, antidepressants, his last will and testament and a Post-It note that bore his victim's last name and a telephone number.

Shoes,

Media Matters did not cherry pick a "fact."

Media Matters highlighted a piece of conservative misinformation.  That's what Media Matters does.

It appears in this case that the reporters were too lazy to present the true facts, and merely repeated verbatim the sludge they were handed by the RNC stooges.

"RNC stooges" handed "sludge" to the NY Times for an article entitled "Republican Trio Crosses Party Lines To Back Obama"??

I really, really doubt that.

Republican National Committee (RNC) "criticized" Sen. Barack Obama "for, in its view, his lack of bipartisan accomplishments."

 

Say it ain’t so!

 

Hahaha!

Speaking of immigration, did you know that it's the immigrants to America, both legal and illegal, who are responsible for the rising CO2 emissions world wide? I'm shocked, I tell ya!

This is just too good to pass up. McSame's lobbyist, what a guy!

POWER HOUSE

Super lobbyist, McCain donor and loathsome GOP figure Ed Rogers decided to talk to the Washington Post about Barack Obama last week:

John McCain's celebrity ad was effective. It wasn't uncontroversial and it didn't please all the political scientists, but it sure got noticed, and it made Barack Obama overreact. Questions about Obama's desire for celebrity status will linger. He now has to be very careful about intersecting with Hollywood, pop culture and entertainment. Lee Atwater said the worst thing you can do in American politics is play to your negative stereotype. Well, Obama's negative stereotype now includes the idea that he may be a little too glitzy. (Speaking of negative stereotypes, when Obama was talking about the pictures of presidents on dollar bills, was he introducing the presumptuous notion that his face belongs on American currency? I wonder whom he thinks he should replace.)

At least he was able to refrain from mentioning Obama's middle name while calling him "glitzy."

In other news, NBC has just completed the pilot for their new show, POWER HOUSE. In the first episode, we get to see how Ed Rogers and his wife live in their "Republican Shangri-La" -- an 18-thousand square foot estate in McLean, VA.



Looks just like my livingroom. We must have the same architect.



The genuine cowhide toilet-seat cover really says "I shit you not" with class. The golden studs around it aren't the least bit ostentatious.

And finally, we get to see why the lobbyists and hedonists with whom McCain has surrounded himself have proclaimed Americans to be a bunch of whiners:



That's right. She's standing in front of rows of her designer shoes cutting up sheets of freshly printed U.S. dollar bills with a pair of scissors so she can use them as wrapping paper.
