Irony 101

The repeal of Posse Comitatus and the re-tasking of those thousands of US troops for riot duty in the US might just be necessary to help President Obama maintain order if the wingnuts totally lose it…

George Bush got the “Worst Person In The World” award tonight on KO! Did I hear why? Nope! I was reading blog comments and obviously can’t do two things at once. *giving myself a V8 juice bonk to the head*

You can go to Keith’s portion of the MSNBC blog and play it.

I’ve always liked Nader far more than I disagreed with him. Only considered Cynthia because she kicked ass on DHS security nuts in DC and because AR Greens are doing great work in a largely thankless and downright hostile environment.

I had reached the conclusion during the late ’90s that I could never in good conscience vote for a major party candidate. The Cheney/Bush coup pushed me back into the lesser of evils voting bloc. Since my state is safely behind Obama, I am considering casting a vote for Nader, who’s weltanschauung is more in line with my own.

They better do their job, because if they don’t, and Obama is elected, they won’t have it. Petraeus knows that, which is why he has come around. Obama’s people have good memories, and they will remember those who tried to fuck them.

Agreed, but I have been standing over in a clearing out of the way of falling boulders all my life… except when I come to the aid of Clinton and Reagan supporters. It’s time to step back into the light and invite others to join in….) At least from where I am casting a vote this November. My O vote wouldn’t help O this year… but my Nader or McKinney vote might help him when he looks left as president.

I agree, although I think it is a mistake to perceive the political spectrum as a level playing field. Picture the Democratic Party as a large boulder wedged in the bottom of a narrow ravine. Both sides are steep, although the right slope slightly less so. Moving that boulder up the left bank poses a great challenge. Lose your grip (think 9/11) and it rolls back down and partway up the other side.

Thanks for bringing the discussion back to the topic. Alas, Obama has already been threatened by white supremacists (see my link at http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/.....mment-3583) and the rhetoric of Palin is enflaming this part of the population.

Same as you.. without a doubt. Republicans must be defeated and Dems must be pushed to the left.
