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.
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.
I AM PREPARING to fly, in two days, to Denver, where I will attend the Democratic National Convention as an officially credentialed blogger. Yours truly will be hefting his mighty black videocamera and swiftly whipping out his slim and classy iPhone in hopes of capturing bits and pieces of all the action to send back home to thee. Then, on September 1, I’m off to St. Paul to cover the RNCC.
EARTHLINGS need to know that I don’t feel interested today in a long post on any given topic. Yet—dammit—the planet requires my input on certain subjects and I’m not going to stand in between humankind’s need for that input and…me. Because that would just be selfish. Aside from spatially impossible.
FOLLOWING UP on John McCain’s growing Latino Problem, Kety Esquivel of The Sanctuary is interviewed on CNN. This appearance is a followup to Kety’s last interview, wherein she announced the questionnaire that her and the rest of our group at the Sanctuary prepared and gave to the Presidential candidates.
JOHN “YESTERDAY’S NEWS” MCCAIN. He’s already dead but nobody wants to embarrass him and say it out loud! He’s like…that guy in The Sixth Sense, if you replace Bruce Willis’ charisma with rotten pie crust and then brush half off. John Mccain. He’s so delirious from running on a dying motor that he imagines it’s actually winsome to remind everyone how unpopular he is.
I have long been a fan of the sliding scale system of payment, having gone to more than a few offices or services in my day that catered to the poverty stricken. That’s pretty much how I run my business. I know my work is worth a lot, because I put a lot into it and I see and have seen the competition for years. But if someone is just broke due to their job or where they are at in life, I like to allow for that. Likewise…
THIS DAILY SHOW VIDEO about the Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates focuses on just how angry the Latino-centric panderosity must be making Lou Dobbs. You know I had to feature this one. And it’s a funny vid, but totally worth it for the Lou Dobbs animation and sound effects alone.
YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT MEMBERS OF THE SANCTUARY compiled a 38 point questionnaire on specific immigration questions and sent them to three presidential candidates with a deadline of the end of this month, June 2008.
ON JULY FIFTEEN OF 2008, Rhode Island Republican Governor Donald L. Carcieri signed an executive “Illegal Immigration Control Order” into law. It begins with some storytelling.
WHEREAS, most Rhode Islanders and most Americans are descendants of immigrants from all regions of the world—
