These People Want To Run The Country
By Mitch Berg
To Democrats, everyone west of the Hudson Elgin is pretty much interchangeable:
Some Democratic campaign buttons made for distribution in Idaho show an unlikely pair: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican Sen. Larry Craig.
But don’t expect the staunch Republican to throw his support behind Obama or for the presidential candidate to ask Craig to change his mind and run for Senate again. Apparently the button manufacturer picked a picture of the wrong Idaho Larry.
Apparently Obama’s campaign believes none of the bitter, gun-clinging Jesus freaks out west’ll know the difference.

No, it’s just that Barack thought that wide stance was soooo cute he just needed to get closer and check it out.
(Ok, I’m done channeling my inner clown.)

Lets see, do I vote for the guys that miffed a campaign button or the guys who lost the Iraq War?

They should have been hugging in the photo.
PS The War in Iraq is over? We lost? Darn it.

Obama: He knows how to Push all the Right Buttons!

who lost the Iraq War
You’re like one of those Japanese soldiers who went into hiding in 1945, and had to be talked out of the woods in 1975, aren’t you?

“You’re like one of those Japanese soldiers”
One of us is, it depends on the facts.
For example, does victory include paying more and more protection money to our former enemies?

I’m am weary of every liberal taking every post critical of liberals, even in jest, to the War in Iraq…as if their team didn’t vote for it too.
…well except Obama, of course. He’s perfect. Isn’t he just dreamy!
This was a post on a misprinted campaign button.

Which you have never once presented in all these years.
For example, does victory include paying more and more protection money to our former enemies?
On what basis do you exclude “protection money” (aka “payoffs”, aka long a standard technique in counterinsurgency warfare)?
Other than “That’s not the way FDR did it”, I mean.
(And it IS the way JFK did it, so don’t even bother).
Again, Tomoshiro – we’ll be happy to welcome you back to civilization.

You speak for yourself, Kemosabe. The longer he stays in the electoral wilderness the better.

Oh, and Rick? Using Fired O’Glake as a source?
Why not just quote Democrat Underground, while you’re at it?

Hey, RatioRick quoted a source! Never mind he does not comprehend what he says, nor why he says it, but it a quote, dammit, and it MUST be right ’cause he quoted it!
