ITA. But the Republicans wear blinders...they'll never watch the videos. They have faith remember--that's all they need. They pray, and when they hear God's voice telling them that McCain and Palin are honest, holier-than-thou, patriotic Americans, that's all they need.

What McCain tells them doesn't matter. What Palin says doesn't matter. It's only what, through their faith, they hear GOD telling them that matters.

It truly is amazing, when you stack up all the blunders (though everyone makes a few of those every now and again) - but more importantly the outright lies and complete, 180-degree reversals of position.....and the media doesn't even COVER it.

Hell, on one level, why SHOULD they, when even "Democratic Strategists" like James Carville are willing to let ol' two-face McAncient off the hook over and over?:

CARVILLE: And John McCain, deep down inside my heart, you know, as you know, I've said before I admire McCain. I don't believe he knew about it. I hope somebody asked him. But I refuse to believe that John McCain agreed to airing this spot. I know he says I'm John McCain, I paid for it but they have that in the can and they do it. It I don't think he knew about it. I really don't.


Everybody following that? James Carville has just LITERALLY used the notion that John McCain must not be in charge of his OWN CAMPAIGN sufficiently to be aware that despicable, lying ads which he himself would never approve, are being approved by some flunky for airtime. That' LITERALLY Carville's defense (because it can't functionally be called anything but a defense) for McCain having run a mendacious and sleazy ad that PolitiFact called "PANTS ON FIRE": that he's not in control of his campaign. What on Earth does it say about the state of the traditional Democratic party structure and notions when one of the most visible and well-thought-of Democratic "wizards" alive will come to the defense of the REPUBLICAN nominee for putting out a lie-filled slime-fest of an ad - complete with the "I'm John McCain, and I approve this message" tag at the end - by offering a LESSER INSULT -- that McCain can't control his own campaign's message?

Honest to Christ, that - right there - is the kind of prevaricating, clueless, candy-a$$ codswallop that led me to conclude in 2000 that Democrats were - at least for the moment - beyond hope. Nice to see it's still with us (NOT), in the form of has-been Clinton leftovers.

Hey, speaking of corporate-hack, virtually-indistinguishable-from-Republicans, Clinton-era leftover yahoos, Rick Perlstein has a nice b****-slap of Terry McAuliffe's new self-congratulatory and smarmy tome "What A Party" in the New York Times today. A little taste:

"I was standing there having a casual conversation with King Juan Carlos, my occasional hunting partner, when we were joined by Blair and his charming, outspoken wife, Cherie, and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi,” Terry McAuliffe, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, writes in his memoir, “What a Party!” It comes somewhat after “I sat at the president’s table near Clinton, who was between Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren. ... Dorothy was at another table sitting between Muhammad Ali and Jack Nicholson”; but before “Hillary saw Dorothy” — McAuliffe’s wife — “and invited the entire family down to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic to stay at Julio Iglesias’s spectacular oceanfront estate".....

McAuliffe taught Democrats that to win they had to learn to play with the billionaires. But there were, as the economists say, “opportunity costs.” In 400 pages of blow-by-blow, one momentous event passes with barely a whisper: the 2002 elections. Some hoped that President Bush’s ties to Enron would make 2002 a Democratic year. Instead, Democrats lost the Senate. As the televised face of the party, McAuliffe got in some hard punches on Enron, but Republicans replied that he himself had made an $18 million profit from a mere $100,000 investment in the controversial communications company Global Crossing.

Sour grapes, McAuliffe insists, quoting his comeback to Sean Hannity: “What are you, jealous or something? ... It was a great company.”


Is it just me, or with Democrats like Carvile (and yes, I left out that last "L" intentionally - read it again, LOL) - and McAuliffe, who needs Republicans?

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging
