it's like the BFEE dare not speak his name in public.

i'm thinking if he really was their choice and put the kinda effort they put into getting the chimp into the white house, this might be a different race.

5. yeah, but the BFEE pulled off one of the great propagande coups in american history:
they got the american public to think that a knuckle-dragging moron was the better choice after 8 years of pretty good economic times.

7. Did they? They had to drag in the Supreme Court because they didn't quite
close the sale.

14. We need to unhijack our media somehow.
They need the noise to create the illusion of popular support.

2. McCain would rather hang out with "Joe the Plumber"
than "George the President".

3. administration "help" would be kiss of death.
if they were trying to be unhelpful, they'd pull a Will Ferrell with GWB saying a vote for McCain is a vote for him.

4. McCain's only hope is to run against BushCo, and he knows it.
What warms my heart is, that it's not working.

12. How About This For A Theory?
The "machine" is made up of power brokers in this country.

They realize they overstepped in the last 8 years, and they've got their scapegoats in Silverspoon and Darth Cheney.

So, they hang McCain, who has aggravated them in the past and they added Palin to the ticket to create a bloodbath so they could move the party back toward traditional conservatism and away from neocon-ism and also tell the radical right to shut up for the several years.

So, the powers that be want this to be a beating to distance themselves from the untenable radical several years.
