IS IT ME OR DOES MCCAIN COME ACROSS AS A "GRUMPY OLD MAN"!

I don't know about you but after watching last night's presidential debate I could only conclude that John McCain is nothing but a "Grumpy Old Man". It doesn't matter how brilliant Barack can deliver a rebuttal to any one of McCain's half-truths or mere misstatements of fact, John McCain simply can't get out of that "Grampy McCain" mind set.

I could just picture McCain walking the back streets of Tucson, Arizona with that killing contraption seen in the movie "No Country For Old Men" - sneaking up on people and firing that "projectile" from his canister right at their forehead!

McCain's foreign policy is stuck in the 20th century and his economic policy [what little there is] is mired way back in the 19th. He is not well read or well versed in higher thought. He certainly does not give any indication that he is thoughtful or measured in his assessments of anything - foreign or domestic.

McCain is all about "Dogmatic Rectitude and Certitude." He HATES Obama as amply demonstrated by his outright dismissive tone towards the Democratic nominee's statements on policy. Time after time last night (6 or 7 times at least) McCain repeated his worn-out mantra - "my opponent simply does not understand.......".

This election is over. Obama was very polished and composed last night and was "on his toes" throughout with his crisp and forceful rebuttals back at McCain. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for Barack Obama - Our Next Commander-In-Chief!!!

McCAIN, McCAIN, HAVE YOU NO SHAME - HIDING BEHIND THE SKIRTS OF SARAH PALIN

Barack Obama is now starting to "unload" on the gruesome-twosome of the Republican Ticket.

In Barack's own words: "I've got to admit, these folks are shameless," Obama told a rally here, displaying a passion and an intensity rarely seen from the Illinois senator.

More from Obama:

While other polls have Obama ahead in all-important battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Colorado, his campaign has clearly decided it is time to take off the gloves against McCain and, in particular, Palin.

"You can't just make stuff up, you can't just reinvent yourself," he said earlier in Flint, Michigan, in response to Palin's boast that she had intervened to kill the federally funded bridge.

"The American people aren't stupid."

Well, Obama won't have to wait much longer for the McCain ticket to completely unravel. The following is from the Huffington Post blog of September 11, 2008 reporting on Sarah Palin's Thursday night television interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson - my, how prophetic!]:

Palin talks about invading Russia

"When Gibson said if under the NATO treaty, the United States would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Palin responded: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help."

It doesn't get any scarier.

She even paraphrases from Lincoln to explain what she meant by her comment that the Iraq War was a task from God. As Ms. Palin elaborates, Lincoln cautioned never to presume to know what God's will is.

I don't know. Sarah Palin and Lincoln in the same sentence. Yikes! I don't believe "Honest" Abe would take too kindly to being so misconstrued by the likes of Klondike Katie/Palin.

Stay tuned for more.

To Russia with love!

WHO THE F*CK IS SARAH PALIN!

Okay, okay - let's everyone repeat it: "Sarah Palin (aka "Joe" Stalin). Actually - the "a" is pronounced a long-A. But it would be fine, otherwise!

Well, let's listen to what Steven Colbert has to say on the newly selected GOP vice-presidential running mate to John McCain:





I just think I'll let Steven Colbert have the "last say" on all this. I can only add that she grew up and never left her hometown --- Wasilla, Alaska - about an hour north of Anchorage. And that: (1) Sarah Palin was Miss Wasilla High 1984; (2) Ms. Alaska Runner-Up (1984); (3) city council member of Wasilla; (4) mayor of Wasilla from 1996-2007; (5) then, Governor of Alaska since 2007. Wow!

By the way, her maiden name - for anyone interested - is "Heath".

Remember, Alaska has only about 215,000 registered voters - Ms. Palin got about 115,000 of those! Not exactly an overwhelming political endorsement to be a "heart-beat" away from the Highest Office in the Land!

You decide.

Welcome to John McCain's - "Twilight-Zone" - where experience (aka Obama) is inexperience and inexperience (aka Palin) is really - EXPERIENCE.
