Democracy Has Prevailed.

Notice Something?

While Senator Obama's speaking in front of tens of thousands of people, the formerly honorable John McCain is having trouble finding six thousand.

From MSNBC yesterday:
A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area. The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, the official said, in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses.
A week before the election and he can't scrape together six thousand people in Ohio?

John K: (Yawn) Mobs engaged in felonious activities always gather in large numbers. They think it is easier to intimidate. Doesn't work, try something else. Like releasing Hussein Obama's law school records.

EdHeath said...

Too bad Ohio has a Democrat Governor now. Otherwise those school child would be registered and casting absentee ballots for McCain.

Gee, I didn't realize that I was part of a felonious mob on Monday at the civic arena. It seemed like an enthusiastic but orderly group of citizens, happy to cheer their candidate on. Silly me.

John K. said...

John K: Nope, mobs are mobs. Ever see a conservative mob? Nope. Wonder why? Conservatives respect property and the law. Liberal thugs like acorn use mobs to hide their nefarious activities within. Hussein Obama respects nothing but power. Just like Robespierre.

John K. said...

John K: Nope, only people commtting voter fraud are those acorn thugs. They register anybody, like Jive Turkey and Lola Palooza. Wonder how many of those acorn registered people will be voting after the polls close? Probably just enough to carry the State. Do I know Democrats or what? LOL LOL LMAO

Joshua said...

Yeah, I've seen one. It's called the Republican National Convention. Or what about those mobs outside Terri Schiavo's hospice room? Or what about the "Brooks Brothers riot" in 2000?

EdHeath said...

Right, because Republicans hide behind legal fictions when they suppress votes. Like wiping African American felons off the rolls even though they have completed all conditions and would be eligible to vote.

We've seen the videos of people going into and leaving McCain and/or Palin rallies. Sure look like angry mobs to me.

John K. said...

John K: The 'mob' outside a dying woman's room? And? Are you such a sicko that you support death? Ah Ed Heath the myth maker, wiping people off the voting rolls. LOL LOL LMAO

John K. said...

John K: Hey how about that Hussein Obama fellow. Kicks the reporters from those three papers off his plane because their newspapers endorsed McCain. Now the best part of this is watching Dayvoe and Olbermouth justify it. LOL LOL LMAO When Dayvoe comes in here and tries to justify censorship, it makes it all worthwhile. LOL

cathcatz said...

you can almost predict the crap that johhnny's gonna post if you're unfortunate enough to have read drudge or foxnews recently.

funny part about his little story, that he's left out, is the at least one of the papers mentioned, was also booted from mccain's plane for the very same reasons... space constraints, and the fact that they represent a local paper NOT in a swing state.

so, it is just as appalling that ny times columnists, klein and dowd were booted from mccains plane, right??

Conservative Mountaineer said...

And.. Lets' see.. Sarah Palin draws 10,000+. Biden draws (ahem) 400.

Anonymous said...

kgc,

Your VP candidate can outdraw mine. But my Presidential candidate draws much bigger numbers than yours.

I'll take that trade.

John K. said...

John K: I am bored already with the Hussein Obama teleprompter speeches in front of mobs trucked in for the event. I think you guys give them a free bowl of soup or something to get them to attend. When is Hussein Obama going to hold a press conference. He hasn't had one in over a month. Oh wait, he did hold one. And Joe the Plumber slapped him silly. LOL LOL LMAO

John K. said...

John K: Sidebar question. Is political blogger a job now? I see MacIntire lists that as his job title on PBS. Does it pay or is it just a holding spot till the fairness doctrine comes back in and radio stations are forced to hire all those liberals back? Just wondering? Nothing like having to rely on the govt for a job eh?

John K. said...

John K: Watch out Ed Heath, they are having a sale on suits in the mall. Conservatives are going to buy them and riot. I need a pair of wingtip shoes to go along with my suit. LMAO LOL LOL Ed Heath thinks conservatives riot while wearing suits. LOL LOL

Conservative Mountaineer said...

kimber45.. and you're (supposed Messiah) usually needs a warm-up act (see Portland. see Berlin).

Big turnout at Obama's campaign events may not equal big turnout for Obama next Tuesday.. you have to fear the PUMA's, the "Joe the Plumber"-types, Republicans who will craw over broken glass not nercessarily to vote for McCain but to vote AGAINST Obama (me), voters who are tired of the on-slaught of Obama's ads, etc.

I honestly hope and pray that, when voters actually enter the voting booth, they ask themselves "What do I REALLY know about Barak Hussein Obama?"

Above all.. character matters. Just take a HARD look at McCain's associates vs. Obama's and tell me honestly it doesn't matter. 'Cuz if you say it doesn't matter, then you are living in a delusional world.. You can pall arround with domestic terriosts (Ayers/Doerhn) and crooks (Rezko) and still be virtuous? Well... KMA. I didn't know.

John McCain: he's the guy who'd LIE about his POW status just to pander to some Pennsylvania voters.

Anonymous said...

kgc,

Palin had a "warm up act" here in Beaver. Some act from the disco era. But, hey, now she's stepped up to Hank Williams, Jr.

So, if your point is that Obama crowds are there to see the opening act, what does that say for your candidates?

About "associates:"

John McCain spent weekends in the Bahamas with Charles Keating. More recently, he got caught taking plane rides from a lobbyist who has business in front of his committee. (He dodged that one by diverting attention to a possible affair, and denying that. But, the important thing was that he was accepting favors from a lobbyist.)

Obama? Well, he sat on a board with an old radical. Lots of folks did. There isn't the slightest evidence that the relationship was anything but professional. Now, they dredge up Khalidi. On the same faculty. Oh, boy. McCain chaired a Republican group that gave the same Palestinian a boatload of cash.

You've got to do better than that.

Conservative Mountaineer said...

That's right.. Keating (supposedly) made a financial killing.. Oooh, those wwascly lobbyists.

Ayers/Dorhnan (sp?) killed. Ayers did not profess regret in his 09/11NY Times Article. Ayers was photographed stomping on the American flag. Classy.

Obama did more than simply "sit on the board" with a radical. Obama associated himself with a 'effin unrepentant domestic terrorist. Obama launched his campaign in Ayer's living room. Same thing? Only in your perverted mind.

EdHeath said...

KGC, how many of McCain's current top staffers are former (or maybe current) lobbyists?

Barack Obama may not chose to absolutely snub the Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Chicago (I know, an absolute hotbed of Marxism and a collection of bottom feeders) and may have decided to sit on boards of foundations with him, a decade ago. Obama also did not snub former fellow faculty member Rashid Khalidi when they were both at Chicago (although it was John McCain who was chair of a Republican group that gave the Center for Palestine Research and Studies $500,000). It is John McCain who now hires lobbyists and Rove protégées, and who accepted vacations and trip and money from Charles Keating right up to the moment it seemed Keating would be indicted, and then threw Keating under the bus. McCain’s sense of loyalty includes dumping a wife and dumping Keating (an active criminal at the time McCain knew him) when they became inconvenient.

William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn did not kill anyone. They were not charged with murder. You do remember the sixties, when cops and national guardsmen were using M-16's to shoot at protesters?

Wow, KGC, you're just all kinds of hate and stupid rolled up into one repugnant ball of conservative mindlessness.

Where to begin...

You apparently NO NOTHING about political rallies because there is ALWAYS someone who comes on to speak before the main speaker.

Let's just dice up this little bit of your delusional rhetoric:

"you have to fear the PUMA's, the "Joe the Plumber"-types, Republicans who will craw over broken glass not nercessarily to vote for McCain but to vote AGAINST Obama (me)..."

I mean, really, KGC, this is just priceless.

PUMAs? Really? You're counting on PUMAs to save you on Tuesday?

And Joe the Republican? You conservatives REALLY need to pull your heads out of your collective asshole, because what you guys see about Palin and Joe the Republican is NOT at all how the American public sees them. You're living in the rightwing echo chamber; you're out of touch with reality, my friend.

People are not impressed with Joe; I'd go so far as to say that most voters simply don't give a fuck about Joe, I mean, Sam the Republican.

And it's the same for Palin - Americans do not respect her; they do not feel she is at all qualified for the job.

And talk about hate and anger - KGC, you could be the Poster Child for the Angry Right.

And if you're going to talk about Keating, get your facts straight. Keating spent quite a few years in jail for what he did.

And Obama DID NOT launch his career in Ayers' living.

Honestly, with 3 days to go, and knowing that none of the lies, none of the smears, none of this rightwing crap that you and John K. spew has worked, you're still deluding yourself with this last gasp hope that if you simply trash Obama enough, that will do it.

Guess what? Americans aren't buying your rightwing bullshit.

The country's sick of it.

Their sick of Republicans and after Tuesday there are going to be a lot few Republicans in Congress.

kgc,

Did it ever occur to you that McCain is down because he, and his supporters, think that it is more important to talk about Bill Ayers, than it is to talk about jobs?

John K. said...

John K: Remember left wing kooks. Robespierre used the mob to try and govern France. And Hussein Obama is about ready to set up guilotines in the town squares. What will be funny to me, is when the mob turns on Dayvoe and the other left wing radicals. It always happens. Every revolution consumes its leaders and itself except for one. Ours. Because ours was based on prinicples. It will be so much fun watching the mob march you left wingers to the guilotine. And I will be among them throwing stones and rotten vegetables. Figuritively speaking of course. Conservatives do not use intimidation or violence or govt workers to look into the private records of citizens.
