growing a backbone. *riiiiiiiiiiiiiight*

By shag carpet bomb • Jul 19th, 2008 • Category: Election 2008, Obama, third way triangulating b.s.

problemchylde’s blog led me to kai’s blog where kai said something that sounded good, until i thought about it. (from http://www.kaichang.net/2008/07/kety-on-cnn.html )
“Democratic Party politicians are unlikely to grow a backbone until their constituents do”
i wasn’t clear on what growing a backbone means, for obama’s constituency?
a backbone means asking mccain questions, as if you really care […]

the wall st journal lurvs obama’s stance on iraq!

Man of Refinement By JAMES TARANTO Nineteen days ago, we speculated about Barack Obama that he would soon abandon his promise to bring about an American defeat in Iraq:

obama’s future as autofellator

By shag carpet bomb • Jul 8th, 2008 • Category: Election 2008, Obama, Teh Sex, third way triangulating b.s.

i posted this in a thread at lbo’s discussion list. M liked it, so I’m posting it here in case readers might enjoy:
i’m starting to envision the lanky fellah (obama) on a twister mat, with him contorting himself into all kinds of positions. maybe he’ll get contorted enough to suck his own dick, so everyone […]



i’m supposed to get up in 4 hrs., but i read the latest on obama and abortion

By shag carpet bomb • Jul 7th, 2008 • Category: Election 2008, Obama, third way triangulating b.s.

so, i checked into blogs and i see all these people having meltdowns because some people are expressing a desire to vote mccain or mckinney or abstain this year.

Is there anyone who’s kept a checklist of the policy revelations Obama has given in the past couple of weeks that put him further to the right than he initially *appeared* to be?

By shag carpet bomb • Jul 3rd, 2008 • Category: Election 2008, Obama

I’m not posting this as a question for y’all to help answer, though great if you’d like to add to B’s list below. Rather, I’m posting it because I may just add to it as i have time.
Why the little flurry of posts I shall call “more reasons why obama sux rocks” series? Because I […]

obama as bush’s third term (wall st. journal weighs in)

By shag carpet bomb • Jul 2nd, 2008 • Category: Election 2008, Obama, Politics

brownfemipower recently argued (here, http://brownfemipower.com/archives/2617) that, as a woman of color (and her perspective only she hastened to add), she couldn’t sympathize with white feminists being upset at the loss of clinton’s candidacy for president. among her argument was that, of course, as a latina woman, she wasn’t sad that a candidate who supported militarizing […]



*lol* nader thinks obama sux too

By shag carpet bomb • Jun 30th, 2008 • Category: Election 2008, Obama

link
Mr. Nader, who drew headlines recently by suggesting that Obama was trying to “talk white,” quoted with seeming approval a comment from a black political scientist, Adolph Reed Jr., that Senator Obama seemed to be a “vacuous opportunist.” Mr. Nader portrayed Mr. Obama as changeable and too close to “corporate America.”
“He’s backed off […]
