Oh god that's so poor, it makes them look like they've desperately gone out looking for something, anything German to counteract todays Obamafest and done an absolutely half-assed job of it.

Maybe in reality he was paid by the Obama campaign?... Or is he an old communist the Left Party sent on a double-cross mission?...

It looks like that's exactly what they did do. For real.

Has McCain HQ been infiltrated by Obama moles? Is McCain just so plain stupid and deaf that he didn't realise this would be top-rank comedy?

Is The Onion running Campaign McCain?

So many questions. So much chortling and fun yet to happen before we have answers.

The Obama campaign should put it out as a poster with the words "Would you want someone this inept in charge of Neuclear weapons" Or "Giving you someone who can make Bush look like a genius"

its as if its a bad Hollywood comedy and someones about to come in and say "from this point things can only get better". and from here on the disadvantaged loser will go on to win.

I'm going to regret this one.  I'm inserting it here, late in the game, with the hope that it goes unnoticed.  Just want it on record.  Here we go.

McCain et al WANT TO LOSE!  (Oh shit, NOW WHAT?!)

That's right.  The fix is in.  The neofascists have done enough damage to the US/world, they have accumulated enough resources, everything is in place for a DEPRESSION  that will make the '20s/'30s look like the good old days.  The Dems will get blamed for gas/food shartages in the US, Americans will be at each others' throats just to survive, and the neofascists will remind us of those good old Bush days (like you hear bullshit about the good old days of Clinton ... NONSENSE!  I was there!) and we get a world fascist authoritarian state.

That's what's comin' kids.  I said it first, here at ET.  I hope I'm wrong; saying "I told you so" in three years (probably not possible; the internet will be co-opted for the cause; communications will be MUCH more restricted) won't feel good (with MY mouth, I'll already be hauled away).

Hopefully metavision will post a 4 and that's it.  

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

I'm reasonably convinced that the same was attempted in the UK immediately after Thatcher with John Major. unfortunately for them the plan didn't work, and their loser managed somehow to actually win. so got left holding the baby when the results of their mismanagement came home to roost.

Having Obama a week into his presidency do a surprise TV presentation where he said that the Reps have robbed everyone blind and concealed the fact. the economies screwed, and due to their torturing foreign nationals theres a shortage goodwill left to help the USA out of its current financial predicament. then roll out a New New Deal to deal with the problem. Place the blame early and with a big boot before the Media gets to do it to him might just be the best plan.

And what do WE do to get this rosy scenario to unfold?  Do we sit by and pray that it happens?  I already told metavision I'm not a God-freak.  Not into that praying crap.

OK, read most of it.  Started off strong and soon became the typical Republican bullshit line.  And I read it, why?
