Jed Clampett

Is it made of hemp?

I want to know, just how committed is he to the environment?

Is he Bushney candidacy, circa 1999, committed? Later to be tossed away like many other campaign affirmations.

Is he Bill Clinton post Kyoto committed? Where you make a great show of it ahead of the signing to score political points and keep your party in control, and then don’t even make a halfhearted effort to have it ratified.

Is he – take away all the ‘incentives’ given to ‘traditional’ energy companies and their leadership, and shift government economic momentum to true sustainable energy generation systems committed?

Let’s not give him a chance to do what the other republicans have done to our environment with their selfish energy policy.

Worry not Jed. It’s plain old math this time. The amount of new voters going to the polls for Obama will completely outnumber anything McCain could even ‘manufacture’……

The ONLY thing that will win McCain the presidency is some sort of Supreme Court intervention, AGAIN. Other than that, it’s pure numbers. The number of Democratic voters this year, will blow away the number of repubelicker voters, regardless of the ‘erectoral college’ and it’s archaeic philosophy.

Sometimes change happens against resistance too!

It’s never good to count chickens, Coach. People counted them in the 04 election and many didn’t hatch. There are more Dems than Repubs, but a large portion of the Dem electorate are unreliable when it comes to voting.

So, As I read RS I’m encountering two ads next to the text for this piece for John McCain. Cannot Rolling Stone afford to refuse to run ads for this man’s campaign?
What good does it do to endorse a Dem and continue to take money from McCain? m

It doesn’t matter what chickens where laid, hatched or counted. What counts is who counts the chickens and how the count is delivered. In the 04 election, the republicans understood this and set up the structure to control the count… dibold and other companies sprung up with voting machines with some flaws so blatant and evident that they should never have been ratified, but, since politicians don’t have technical expertice, or apparently any common sense or ability to listen to experts, they were ratified. The count in two large contested, key states was the only thing that needed to be manipulated. Incompetence or collusion by the opposing party allowed it to happen.
Funny thing, the structure is still in place, little has been changed and people are still ignorant enough to vote by machine only when given a choice of large, easy to read paper ballots or a machine.

Lenin was right, it doesn’t matter who votes or how they vote, it only matters who counts the votes and how they can manipulate public opinion to get them to accept the result. Just ask Robert Mugabe.

Midman: You’re right about past apathy in the Democratic party, but only in the minority…..Things have changed. This is a minority candidate, stoking the minority back to life. Add those votes to the past elections, and we never would have had Bush in the first place.

The real issue at hand for the repukes is how are they going to make up for the extra few million votes THIS time???
