Why the printer won't work

Normally I don't post the cute animal stuff but this is pretty funny especially at the end. One of my cats is fasinated by the printer as well but not quite this bad.

Most popular?


John McCain called out fellow Republicans who have questioned running mate Sarah Palin’s credentials Tuesday.

“What’s their problem?” McCain asked during an interview with radio host Don Imus.

“She is a governor, the most popular governor in America,” McCain said.

What criteria does McCain use to determine that she is the most popular? A state with 683,000 people hardly makes a blip on the national radar. If she was elected by the largest percentage of the population in one state, it is still underwhelming with that small of a population.... Wouldn't Arnold best any popularity vote? (And that certainly does NOT qualify him to be the Governor!)

The McCain hypocrisy continues (fron Daily KOS)

Down in the polls, John McCain's Divide & Flail™ strategy is to call Barack Obama's tax cut for 95% of Americans "socialism."

Well, John McCain must have once been a socialist, because it turns out that for years he supported higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for lower taxes on the middle-class. The YouTube don't lie:

Bush's Mass Pardons Predicted - Including himself

In this guest essay, former Democratic congressional aide Brent Budowsky predicts that Bush will take the latter course, even outdoing his father's lame-duck Iran-Contra pardons in 1992:

John McCain v. The Truth



McCain’s greatest character flaw as a potential President may be his brash self-righteousness, often expressed in a combative manner that shows little tolerance for even well-founded criticism. McCain is letting his dark side out. He snarls and sneers about Obama and snaps sarcastically at anyone who poses a challenging question.

Online tool estimates taxes under McCain, Obama

This from an AP article on Yahoo news, Quote " For example, the model indicates that a couple with two children earning $100,000 with $20,000 in itemized deductions would have a net tax bill for 2009 of $9,555 under McCain and $9,002 under Obama. That compares with a $9,505 tax bill for this couple under current law, the electiontaxes.com site says. In another example, a single taxpayer making $50,000 and using the standard deduction would pay $6,867 under McCain and $6,325 under Obama, compared with $6,827 under current law."

John McCain WILL raise your taxes unless you are making upwards of $250,000. He will continue the practice of the last 8 years of tax breaks for oil companies and conglomerates and the people will bear that burden.

FactCheck.org - A very good site

This particular article I linked to is The Whoppers of 2008 (so far). They hold both candidates accountable for their false or exaggerated claims in their rhetoric.

Got to love the Daily Show

The hypocrisy watchdogs. This is one of the greatest they have dug up. Rove and O'Riley, twin "hypos". Pass this one on!

4th of July - A perfect day to reflect on Patriotism

So I took the time to watch a great speech from a man destined to be a great leader of this nation. I highly recommend that you take some time to watch it as well.

Sunnyvale for Obama


The group I started in February has really blossomed thanks to member Wade. S. Thank you Wade!!

We are doing a variety of campaign activities such as registration drives (we have registered over 100 voters!), community out reach, phone banking and more.

I have never been inspired before this to volunteer on a campaign. The sad state of affairs our nation is in has really weighed on me. Now I feel I can help start the change in government we so desperately need. I encourage everyone to do a little something to help right this sinking ship.

Nine articles on John McCain you should read.

This post is not original! It is part of a blogging campaign to get the truth about McCain out.

Here are the nine articles:

The Articles

Here are the nine articles:



1--John McCain Votes to Filibuster Minimum Wage Hike

AOL News story on John McCain, and the minimum wage increase was incredibly popular.



2--McCain housing policy shaped by lobbyist


This article emphasizes how corporate special interests have formed McCain’s economic policy. If it becomes the top ranked MSNBC article, it will appear in the top ten searches for McCain nationwide.



3--Bush, McCain plug Social Security

Seniors are going to be the key swing vote in this election, and they hate Bush's plan to privatize Social Security. This is the best polling message against McCain of all, which isn’t surprising since our victory on Social Security is how began to turn the tide against Republicans and conservatives three years ago. The headline alone ties McCain to Bush, and this article already ranks very high on searches for McCain Social Security.



4--McCain blasts Obama’s and Clinton’s attacks on NAFTA

This is a great article because it not only ties McCain to NAFTA, which is quite unpopular, but it also draws a contrast between McCain and Democrats on the issue. The LA Times is also in the top twenty searches for John McCain.



5--McCain in NH: Would Be "Fine" To Keep Troops in Iraq for "A Hundred Years"

McCain’s "100 years" statement has damaged him already, and this article has already been significantly optimized on Google. While Mother Jones is not an ideal news source, it is the top article for this quote, and appears in the top thirty searches for John McCain already.



6--McCain: Bush right to veto kids health insurance expansion


The headline just makes McCain look like an asshole, and ties him to Bush. Who is opposed to health insurance for kids? CNN also is in the top ten searches for McCain and John McCain A lot of people will see this one.



7--Senate passes expanded GI bill despite Bush, McCain opposition


While I am not thrilled about using Salon, since it isn’t as well known, and since there is an advertising wall that hides the story, the title is damaging enough. McCain’s opposition to the GI Bill really hurts him, and tying him to Bush is just as bad. This title does both in a clear, straightforward manner.



8--McCain says overturn the law that legalized abortion

Pretty straightforward, and extremely important. More than half of all women voters think that McCain is pro-choice. This will quickly change their minds.



9--McCain Defends Bush's Iraq Strategy

The classic McCain SEO, that still appears in top thirty searches for McCain and John McCain. It is also proof positive that this campaign will work, because it appears as the second CBS news article, but still on the front page in Google searches just below the CBS election center information on John McCain. That is all we need to do to get it on the front page of searches about McCain--optimize it against other CBS articles. Also, even though this SEO campaign was abandoned fifteen months ago, it still ranks in the top forty in McCain searches. If a fifteen month old campaign is still that effective, imagine what we can do with enough participation in this campaign.
