COLIN POWELL ON OBAMA: “He has energized a lot of people in America. He has energized a lot of people around the world. And so I think he is worth listening to and seeing what he stands for.” Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced today that he will be voting for Barack Obama.
JOHN MCCAIN turns out to be right in that Obama is hiding some family affiliations that the world really needs to know about. “Who is Barack Obama?” Obama posits rhetorically, repeating McCain’s ads—and then proceeds to tell us. And then, to smile as he takes John McCain apart piece by violet-hued and gummy-looking piece.
THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES ARE OVER and unless a fireball comes blazing out of the sky with Osama bin Laden handcuffed to it bearing an oxygen tank to resuscitate the Free Market Philosophy wrapped in a economic surplus-scented plan to win Afghanistan, John McCain’s anger and slurs won’t be enough to yank the Republican brand out of the septic muck in which it has mired itself.
THE TENSION MOUNTS as we approach a historic and final round of debates slated to test the candidates for President of the United States of America. Will John McCain finally make clear to the national audience just how dangerous community organizing is to the health of a Republic such as ours? Will Barack Obama fess up to his secret plan of normalizing cocoaliciousness? Tune in to UMX for a liveblogging extravaganza!
A LEAK OF MCCAIN’S NEWEST ATTACK VIDEO shows us just how far the McCain Campaign is willing to go in their quest for the White House. I have to admit, though, this angle is pretty devastating and I’m not sure what Obama can do to counter it. It is, I think we can all admit, the Dark Elephant in the room.
¡BIENVENIDOS! And welcome to our Carne Blogsada Sábado Roundup wherein I feature brief commentary and links on a few news topics that may be important to Latin@s y los otros and some choice links harvested from the fruitful and fertile blogsoil of El Blogarrio. Enjoy!
GLARINGLY ABSENT NOW are discussions of a cult, of cultishness, of a hypnotized and dangerous mob. Now, when John McCain and Sarah Palin are whipping their followers into a sick, bubbling, dangerous tangle of elbows and fear and bubbling vitriol. Where is the talk of scary mobs? So often we mention Change. Let us not forget that with real change always comes resistance and pain.
SHE PAUSED FOR A BEAT and in a confessional tone began talking about how she had been supporting McCain but very recently had begun having second thoughts about that. This was clearly a bombshell dropping in her own life. This person is 65 years old and I could tell just by the way she was talking that this was no small decision to her.
ALREADY, voting is under way. After two stolen elections which brought us the loathesome idiot George W. Bush; the criminal negligent George W. Bush; the Miserable Failure George W. Bush, who in turn brought us thousands upon thousands of corpses in the ground, dollars in the fire, and terror in the air—I can’t think of a more important election. And it seems the tension is already on, judging by at least one story out of Ohio.
DID YOU WATCH THE VP DEBATES? It was ripe with entertainment, though we did not see Biden gaffe it up as the McCain camp was predicting nor did we view a live moose-skinning session as many in Cheney’s Duck Hunting Club were hoping. But we did get to see a Hockey Pit Mom snarl and wink directly into television cameras and we did get to see Joe Biden shed tears, reminding us that if women can wield hunting knives comfortably, so can men display genuine emotion publicly.
WHO ARE THE REAL CONQUERORS who think they are better than everyone, Mister Republican? Who are the real conquerors, dropping economic and actual bombs on those they feel are below them in station and worth? Who are the real conquerors, still whispering and hissing into the ears of those below them, still stirring up divisions to keep themselves at the business end of a yoke?
OH…SENATOR? Can I interrupt your well-managed, well-lit, well-scripted campaign for un momento? I really, really, really dig your handsome biography photo and the poignant life story thing. But I have just a tiny little question. I know you don’t want your fancy friends to hear this, but…do you care about women starving to death?
WHILE OUR ORIGINAL INTENT was to present a meaningful side-by-side comparison of both Senator Obama’s and Senator McCain’s answers to our survey in order to better inform voters, Senator McCain’s unwillingness to answer questions or go on the record with his positions on the specific details covered in the questionnaire has made this impossible.
FRAIDYCAT MCCAIN and his Republican cronies and conspirers continue to do what they always do: lie to us, pretend to be what they ain’t, and endeavour to use us to feed their own power. This is not our people. This is liars wearing masks that have a McCain face painted on the outside, and blood of nuestra gente dripping down the inside, where they can sniff and lick at it in privacy, feeding their vampiric lifestyles and political agendas.
POOR JOHN MCCAIN. First he says he cares about migrants and their plight, and then he doesn’t. First he is for comprehensive and humane immigration reform…and then…I mean, really. Who the hell knows what he’s saying anymore.
