party perceived to be in power..

But the nation’s reality is quite different. Unfortunately the party perceived to be in power is going to catch the blame.

Uhm…remind me again just who the party in power right now is?

Your reality dictates that the economy should be a negative for the DNC.

A reasonable economic plan to deal with the crisis would be much better advice to the McCain campaign. Something simple to hammer in over and over. I think it’s his only shot.

Fit and Doug. You both made some extraordinary comments:

Doug: It’s the same as it always is, the powerful have the power to put force on truth making it ‘conform and contort’ to the confining designs of the terrain, bending the wills of the weak to the wills of the strong. In the course of contests, such as this, the weak are prey, are votes, scrapped up by almost whatever means necessary. That’s simply what it comes down to now.

Fit: Nice work pulling that together Mata, and they are several good points made, but unfortunately nobody’s going to care.

I can’t believe my eyes, in one way, guys. It’s not that I don’t agree with both of you that… in essence… no one is going to care about the truth because they won’t see it thru the contortion of the campaign and media presentations.

What I can’t believe is that you both accept this power without railing “against the dying of the light”, so to speak.

The campaign & media have presented Obama as squeaky clean, and the picture of honesty and ethics, for so long that the man could pick their pocket right under their nose… and they still wouldn’t see his true colors.

Oh wait! That just happened! It was called the bail out “rescue”. And unfortunately, all but a few in Congress did it.

I have to say that the bail out was somewhat of a game changer for me personally. And what I do see is that – with our current realistic choices – there are no geniune conserveratives and free marketeers left. Only a flat out socialist, and another who *might* slow it down a bit.

I’ll take the pitbull with the lipstick, please. I’ll bet, were she able to challenge McCain’s stance without damaging him, she’d have more to say about this bail out. I notice her comments have been minced, and true to campaign talking points.

Doug, I’m not surprised they “reach back” to the Keating 5. But as I said, the truth is it was 4 Democrats and 1 Republican. A Democrat indy investigator exonerated both Glenn and McCain. Technically, it’s more a DNC scandal than GOP.

Personally, I think McCain should do a hit ad on himself and get it over with. Many don’t remember the Keating 5 event. They only know it had something to do with the S&Ls.

Fit, reality dictates the economy should be a negative for the DNC. While it’s truly a Congressional failure as a whole, it’s still tilted to the DNC more heavily.

Which of course bring us back to that illusion bit you both accept so easily – reality doesn’t appear to matter.

So again, while I am not disagreeing that bringing the truth to light is the uphill road here, I am aghast that both of you shrug off the truth and it’s burial so easily.

Oh yes… Doug, what I said was I’m quite sure the polls have not closed… meaning it’s not election day. Remember me? The one who believes polls are nothing more than asking 1000 uninformed people, and getting 1000 uninformed answers?

You have no idea who will win this election until the late Nov 4th, or the morn of Nov 5th. Anything inbetween? I don’t care about. Most especially the “latest polls”. They are just a propaganda tool for the media to help manipulate public opinion by “herding”. I repeat, I think all polling should be internal and not released to the public.

So yes, your crystal ball is still dusty, and no… it’s not working. All that you “predict” is nothing more than the latest week of headlines… which is all polls reflect. Why use a crystal ball? If the media says Biden won, and the race is tightening, the polls will echo the same because that’s all the people heard as news. Rather a silly catch 22, don’t you think?

Nice work pulling that together Mata, and they are several good points made, but unfortunately nobody’s going to care.

McCain (sorta like Columbo): Barack, I was going to pursue your lack of experience during this debate, especially executive management experience, but in fairness, my staff has uncovered some important major management experience that you must’ve forgotten to include on your Resume. Your modesty is very impressive. Were you actually the Chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995 to abut 2000? Was the total funding that you had to manage over $100 million? Did you actually get to direct funding to Ayers, Khalidi and ACORN? These guys represent the downtrodden in our society and you got to fund them all. What a humanitarian. Was Rezko in there too somewhere?…

BTW anyone who is interested in Obama’s activities related to affordable housing might look here:

Obama’s got several unresolved skeletons….like this.
