---I can't sleep---
When do all of the mccrap lies and bullshit crash down upon his head, and kill him for good, politically? I mean, I am really pissed off about the lies, deliberate smears, distortion of the facts, and the hypocrisy.

So other than the semi-good job the print media is doing, WHEN does he pay for what he has said, and done? When?? Soon??

1. You're not the only one not sleeping tonight
Here I am. But more importantly, you can be sure that Team McCain is also up all night, every night, scared that, yes, all the lies and bullshit are about to crash down upon his head.

But at least I'm going to try to go sleep now.

5. Exactly, and that's why I can't sleep...
I mean this man wants us to believe all this shit he's saying as fact. Joe's right. He must think we're really stupid. It's an insult to all of us.

He just CAN NOT WIN.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/31/alaska-national-guard-gen_n_122860.html
<snip>
Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, considers Palin "extremely responsive and smart" and says she is in charge when it comes to in-state services, such as emergencies and natural disasters where the National Guard is the first responder.

But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, he said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

3. I can't sleep either.
Because I'm worried about the little money I have in savings, which is tiding me over while I search for a job. If it goes up in smoke, FDIC insured or not, I am completely fucked.

9. I hear ya...
I quit my conventional job 2.5 years ago. I have a business on the side, but even then I had been looking for a job the whole time. There is NOTHING, and hasn't been for the entire time. I went to 4-5 job interviews this last year, who had nice salaries listed, only to get there, and they tell me; oh, it's--- and always 10-20K less than they had originally said.

I got really tired of getting dressed up, going to these fucking interviews, and looking across the table at these regional/upper management people, and thinking to myself; I'm smarter than that ass, and they make 3 times what I am looking for.

I finally gave it up a couple of months ago, and will resume looking after the holidays, as this is the busy season for my other business.

But I hear where you're coming from.

11. Nocturnal creatures 4 Obama unite!

Fret not because of those evildoers, corona. Just count the ways you can help the O-team in whatever way you can. That's the path of serenity - embrace the things you CAN change...For the rest, just trust your General and his Lieutenant.

We will do this together. Axelrod and co. are probably up as well...

13. Oh, I do try...and I do talk about him....
today, I was ordering some supplies for an order I have coming up...of course I turned the topic to the economy, so the owner of that business says that he too is worried about it. He then made a statement that he didn't discuss politics, LOL(guess he knew where I was headed...)so I sai, yeah, neither do I, but what I will say is, I'm ready for a change. :-)

So that opened the door, turns out he's voting for Obama too, and we talked for about an HOUR just about that. I was filling him in on mccrap and his lies, and he hadn't about a lot of it! So in that sense, it's a good thing, because normal people who work long hours, may not be getting the whole load of shitting lies mccrap is saying about Obama...

26. Believe me, I talk about it with everyone...
some times I lose though. I had a recent conversation with a...redneck, racist, republican, in which she tried to tell me that Clinton was to blame for our economy right now. She said that it takes years for things like this to show up. That was a few weeks ago.

I had another conversation with her about a week ago, in which she brought up Clinton again, and his...shall we call them dalliances. Now, this woman's husband had cheated on her, for over a year, she caught him, and as far as I know they are headed for divorce, BUT, they still live together. She doesn't think I know all of that, but I do.

So, she starts in with the Clinton/Monica thing, so I say; well, I'm not sure we want to start digging into that, do we; as I looked her straight in the eye, with anger in my eyes, and I said, that Clinton was not the first man to cheat on his wife, and he won't be the last. She got a look on her face, as though she knew at that moment, that I knew about her and her husband. She then said that it was worse that he tried to lie and cover it up. So I said; and exactly how long did your husband lie about it?

End of discussion. She was really pissed, and I don't think she could figure out how I knew about it. Point is, they are such fucking hypocrites, as we all know.

Sorry to get off track, LOL...but it was one conversation that I was not able to control.

27. Bravo!
I know a couple of those as well -

Because of their personal issues, they're COMPLETELY blinded to the facts you try to present - facts about government...

Because they've reduced government to just another trivial element in the myopic melodrama that is their life.

I wouldn't waste any more energy on that one. She hates her man, but doesn't want to leave him, sounds like. Also sounds like every democrat will be Bill Clinton, and by association, her man - and she hates him/them/everyone?...

14. I'm up writing letters......
It helps.

Just sent this to about 30 news orgs and a few reporters...just in case they had forgotten!

As far back as March.....

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Warren Buffett said on Monday that he would be comfortable putting Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in charge of running a business...

Buffett has said he plans to support the Democratic Party in the 2008 elections, as it seeks to retake the White House.

He has not endorsed Clinton or Obama for the presidency, but said on CNBC television: "I would put either one of them in charge of a business."

Billionaire Buffett backs Obama for president
Monday, 19 May 2008 18:07
Warren Buffett, the world's richest man, is backing Barak Obama for US president and thinks current US economic policy will push the dollar lower against other global currencies.

Buffett said he had offered support to both Obama and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton but that since it appeared Obama would win the party's nomination, 'I will be very happy if he is elected president. He is my choice,' he said.

15. That's a big part of my anger too Frenchie...the media
I should have NEVER turned on Anderson before bed. He said some things that were so unfair tonight, and pointed out the thing Carly said today, and made sure to play the part about her including Joe and Obama in it...as if that would damage Obama's image too....they're all fuckers in the media.

19. Don't watch that shit......
if you can help it.

I write to those shows, even if I can rarely watch. Sometimes I read enough here to get a drift as to what was said, and sometimes watching just 5 minutes provides the anger I have against those traitors to make me write letters. At least, when I do this, and imagine a few other hundred doing it to, I feel that perhaps they truly understand that we know that they are full of shit....no matter how much they pretend.

Here, use this contact page. All of the CNN asshats are listed at the bottom: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/cnntv/

It does make me feel better.

16. I'd like them to be reminded of the fact that
Sarah Palin was NOT the first female VP candidate, and that Democrats in fact beat the Republicans to the punch by 25 years. Would've been even more if they hadn't seen an opportunity to try and capitalize on the Obama/Clinton primary.

18. Hell, have we even SEEN an interview with Ferraro discussing this?
Or would they rather not remind anyone? I would think this is the kind of obvious comparison they would normally be making and talking about. But nada.

(I hear she's on Fox News a lot, but I don't watch them so I wouldn't really know.)

24. I shoulda come down here to the computer instead of
tossing and turning away in my bed last night. I was thinking about the same stuff as you, Corona.......

I was awfully happy when I heard Biden say a few weeks ago that an Obama/Biden admin. may pursue criminal charges against Bush. Thinking about that is what actually helped me finally go to sleep.

took the edge off just enough to get my mind to stop racing. I think I fell asleep about 4, and got up at 9, so this is going to be a LONG day.:-) Hopefully, something bad will happen to the mccrap campaign today too, so I can sleep tonight. :-)
