More McCain Of The Moment

What McCain of this moment has to say:

McCain's statement as reported by Fox News: "To state the obvious, I thought it was wrong at the time … all of those comments contributed over time to the frustration and sorrow of Americans because those statements and comments did not comport with the facts on the ground. In hearing after hearing in the Armed Services Committee and forums around America I complained loud and long that the strategy was failing and we couldn’t succeed … Obviously the presidents bare the responsibility. We all do. But do I blame him for that specific banner? I have no knowledge of that. I can’t blame him for that."

What McCain of that moment had to say:

 CAVUTO: ... Senator, "after a conflict" means "after the conflict," and many argue the conflict isn't over.

MCCAIN: Well, then why was there a banner that said 'mission accomplished' on the aircraft carrier? The conflict...the major conflict is over, the regime change has been accomplished.

 

For Shame, For Shame, For Shame

A few months back I wrote about the small church in Minnesota being sued by the bastards at the meat packing plant that produced the cow shit laced hamburger the church bought from
Super Valu and then served to unsuspecting folks at a potluck...........well super litigator Bill Marler has an update at the marlerblog

You might recall a post I made several months back about Nebraska Beef
suing the Salem Lutheran Church of Longville, Minnesota claiming, among other
things:

* That, upon information and belief, an environmental assessment of
the church kitchen and food preparation procedures by the Minnesota
Department of Health indicated that there was a high potential of
cross-contamination between the ground beef [filled with pathogenic cow
shit] and other foods during food preparation.

* That, upon information and belief, the damages sustained by
the Plaintiff[s], if any, [one died of E.coli-related complications,
and one suffered acute kidney failure] are the direct and proximate result of
the negligence and/or other fault for tortuous conduct of Third-Party
Defendant Salem Lutheran Church.

Now, I just got notice that Nebraska Beef intends to put the pastor
under oath - good gawd!

I also found this little tidbit from the meat packing plant lawyers:

"If you went to eat at McDonald's and they didn't process the food
right, why would you be less mad if you went to a church smorgasbord," said
Gary J. Gordon, the Minneapolis lawyer representing the Omaha
slaughterhouse. "Everybody that's providing food to the public has to adhere
to a certain standard of reasonable care."

Fixed News - How Ignorant Can You Get

My God people, how can anyone watch this joke. These people take ignorance to a new level. Let me help you out here, Frederick Douglass famous former slave - Stephen A. Douglas whom Lincoln debated.

Thanks News Hound for pointing it out.

It would be funny if it was not the case that the people who watch fox news are stupid and unable to distingush fact from fiction

Every day I come to realize, more and more how right John Stuart Mills was:

Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.

Florida - Voter Supression Is The Norm

Election Day in Florida May Look Familiar

The League of Women Voters in Florida and its 27 local groups have helped thousands of residents register to vote over the years.

But just over a week ago, the organization’s leaders said they would have to stop their current drive because the state’s top election official planned to enforce strict deadlines and fines of up to $1,000 for groups that lose voter registration forms or turn them in late.

“We’re an all-volunteer organization,” said Dianne Wheatley-Giliotti, president of the League of Women Voters in Florida, which plans to sue. “It’s a matter of being able to protect the leagues from liability.”

Eight years after the debacle of “hanging chads,” Florida once again seems to be courting electoral trouble. A handful of laws have been passed since the 2000 presidential recount, with state officials saying they bring order to a chaotic system.

“Some say we err on the side of caution,” said Joe Pickens, a Republican from Palatka who served on the Florida House’s Ethics and Elections Committee in 2005 and 2006. “I would say that’s the place we should be.”

But Election Day may end up looking oddly familiar. According to independent elections experts at Pew’s Electionline.org and other organizations, it is now harder to vote here than in nearly every other state in the nation. Some critics predict that tens of thousands of potential voters will be kept off the rolls — many of them poor, black or Hispanic.

What is amazing is that we (the good ol’ USofA) would have a cow over these same issues in the running of an election in some third world country, Here we are this “great” example of democracy suppressing minority votes, with no working election commission and the high courts blessing. We have about as good a chance as a free and fair election this fall as Zimbabwe.

McCain Of The Moment -Katrina

The McCain of The Moment wants you to believe he would have been all over the Katrina thing unlike GWB.

McCain to New Orleans: Never again

McCain was unsparing in his criticism of the Bush administration on Katrina, and said members of Congress must share the blame for putting money into pork-barrel projects when those dollars could have been used to fortify the region against disaster. He said his record was clean on that count, with a consistent opposition to wasteful spending.

Without mentioning Bush directly, McCain said that when Katrina struck, "If I had been president, I would have ordered the plane landed at the nearest base and I'd have been over here." He repeated that later, saying, "I would've landed my airplane at the nearest Air Force base and come over personally."

But pictures tell a different story – the folks at “seeds of doubt” made a nice little poster to remind us what McCain of The Moment was doing when Katrina hit.
