Dr. Melissa Clouthier wonders out loud about the way the loser of the 2008 presidential campaign has not helped out his running mate, who is under attack by his own staffers. Here's an excerpt:
"The silence from John McCain regarding his own campaign members savaging Sarah Palin deafens. What rock is Senator McCain hiding under and why can’t he extricate himself for a moment to defend his running-mate?
"Welcome to being a friend of John McCain, Sarah. Don’t worry, the stab wounds will heal....
"And his latest mountain of contempt is heaped upon Sarah Palin, but this one is going to bite him in the rear. Sarah Palin did everything in her power to get John McCain elected. That the election was even close was a testament to her connection with the voters despite the press treatment...."

Bill Whittle, Once Again, Says It Eloquently
The closer [Gen. Philip] Sheridan came to the battle [Cedar Creek, 19 October 1864], the more cheerful and animated his defeated men became. Encountering a small group of them, Little Phil would stand in the saddle, and give a jaunty salute — as if to congratulate them on a great victory, rather than another humiliating defeat.
The result was electric, if not universal. Amid the cheering, one infantry colonel — whose descendants perhaps would go on to become campaign advisors — stood in Sheridan’s path and begged him not to go on.
“The army’s whipped!” he cried.
“You are, but the army isn’t,” growled Sheridan, who then put the spurs to a horse who’s back was taller than he was and rode to the scene of the disaster, shouting, “About face, boys! We are going back to our camps! We are going to lick them out of their boots!”
His men were not beaten. They just needed leadership.
“We are going to get a twist on those fellows, men!” he shouted, pounding down the pike. “We are going to lick them out of their boots!”
And that’s what he did, too. He and his routed army went back to that field and licked those Rebels right out of their boots.
Rank-and-file Republicans can ponder the rest of Bill Whittle's article here, as they lick their wounds in the aftermath of this week's election.

Now It's Our Turn to Cry
It's no secret that we have mixed feelings about the outcome of yesterday's election. On the one hand, I can tell my multi-racial relations that for them the sky's the limit. On the other hand, I feel compassion for my brothers and sisters who are currently in the military, since an Obama administration will be sure to put them on short rations, just as Carter and Clinton did before him. But I don't want for our first African-American President to fail, because if that happens, we all fail.
Republicans, we can rationalize all day about how the Democrats have been running against a Bush administration that will soon be history, but we have to take responsibility for putting up with uninspired leadership, for not being more inclusive, and for the hypocrisy of Republican politicians who allowed themselves to be corrupted when they had the power. Such evil seeds always yield bitter fruit, and we have no choice but to eat our mistakes until we plant something better.

Going Beyond Hate Speech - Now the Libtards Want Blood!
This just in from NewsBusters.com:
Lib Radio Host Karel Calls For Joe Wurzelbacher's Death In On-Air Obscenity Laced Tirade
By Kerry Picket
November 2, 2008 - 19:53 ET
H/T [hat tip] to Radio Equalizer’s Brian Maloney who picked up this on-air obscenity laced diatribe from San Francisco KGO radio host Karel, who called for the “death” of Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, AKA “Joe the Plumber.”
“F__G__D__Joe the G__D__M__F__plumber! I want M__F Joe the plumber dead.”
Maloney notes some interesting background information on the San Francisco radio host:
Karel, also known as Charles Karel Bouley, is an evening and weekend host at KGO radio in San Francisco.
Based in Los Angeles, Karel is a gay activist who also writes for the Huffington Post website.
This latest incident caps a weekend of unhinged behavior by Obama's supporters, including a call for the death of Mormons campaigning on behalf of Proposition 8 in California and the push for an investigation into the "leak" that Obama's aunt was an illegal alien facing deportation.
Don’t expect the mainstream media to tell Barack Obama to rein in his supporters, as they still are still looking for the imaginary McCain supporter who yelled out “terrorist” to Obama’s name at a McCain rally.

Anonymous Pre-Election Poem Spreads Like Wildfire
'Twas the night before the election
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the political stink
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
'On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi,
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note –
If you don't want socialism,
GET OUT AND VOTE!!

Trite but True: Every Vote Counts
"The Barnyard" blog says in "If It's Not Close They Can't Cheat: Update," that ..."the title of a book Hugh Hewitt wrote a few years ago...rings ever truer today as the liberal community organizing group with very close ties to Barack Obama, ACORN, is facing charges of voter fraud in several states with new ones coming out in Detroit Michigan. They are already under investigation for fraudulent voter registrations in Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. They were busted for the largest case of voter fraud in Washington state a few years ago. Obama's campaign has paid them more than $800,000 and tried to cover it up for front work for his campaign and get out the vote efforts which for them means voting while dead, illegal or multiple times. Michelle Malkin has been watching them closely for a while now and has the latest from Michigan and much more."
Our advice to you is to disregard the propaganda telling you that next week's election is a done deal, especially for the presidency. The choice is clear, and the difference between the major-party candidates is smaller than most pollsters care to admit.
UPDATE: This just in, a cartoon that illustrates how ACORN will spread Chicago politics into every state it operates in.

Good for a Laugh: CBS Claims Obama Has 11-Point Advantage in Poll
CBS claims "Obama Maintains Comfortable lead."
Posted in Free Republic on Thursday, October 30, 2008 7:59:29 PM by MAD-AS-HELL
(CBS) With less than one week until Election Day, Barack Obama maintains a clear lead over John McCain in the presidential race, a new CBS News/New York Times poll suggests. The Democratic nominee now leads his Republican rival by 11 percentage points, 52 percent to 41 percent, among likely voters nationwide.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This is yet another nail in the coffin for both the New York Times and CBS. We believe that McCain & Obama are running neck-and-neck nationwide, and that Sen. McCain is showing last-minute gains in key states such as Pennsylvania. There is no guarantee that Democrats can deliver Colorado, Ohio, or Virginia to Obama if the elections in those states were conducted fairly and honestly.

Grimaldi Offers $150,000 Reward for Obama Tape!
Click on letter to enlargeAston Grimaldi II, chief investment officer of Dune Capital Holdings and believed to be related to the royal family of Monaco, boldly issued a letter offering $150,000 to anyone who can produce the video of Sen. Barack Obama at a 2003 banquet praising Palestinian scholar Rashid Khalidi (this event became a ready excuse for Jew-bashing). Dirty Harry's Place, a conservative blog, mentioned that anonymous donors offered an additional $50,000 for the same tape for a total of $200,000. The L.A. Times is in possession of this video, but refuses to release it.
Rush Limbaugh is on top of this hot topic, and has links to a variety of sources.
UPDATE: Little Green Footballs has reader comments that raise doubts as to the authenticity of the Grimaldi letter; nevertheless, stonewalling on the part of the L.A. Times sounds quite suspicious, and McCain should offer a much larger reward for anyone who can produce that video.
Why Can't They Keep Promises Like These?
We all know how empty these "threats" recorded in the LA Times Blog can be:
Oh, no! Seal and Heidi Klum join the list of celebrities threatening to leave the U.S. if John McCain wins Tuesday.
So far, potential celeb expats include Susan Sarandon, Stephen Baldwin and Michael Stipe. Tina Fey says she's leaving Earth, fer crying out loud.
This is getting serious, people. There may not be any celebrities left if the Republicans keep control of the White House.
Whose lives will we have to obsess about? More important, whom will I have to write about? Other than die-hard Republican creepy fame-mongers Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt and Elisabeth Hasselbeck?
Seal told this month's Vanity Fair: "If McCain is elected and America staggers on further towards the abyss, then we will leave the country. That is not a problem for us.”
The British singer, who can’t vote in the election, says of Barack Obama, “There is no doubt that he is a great man, and I would put a cross next to his name immediately, if I could. ...”

YouTube Video: Gun Sales On Rise In FL On Fear Of An Obama Presidency
If you're one of those bitter Americans, clinging to your guns and your religion, consider the case of Florida, where the prospect of an Obama presidency has prompted many to buy guns now before the politician identified as a gun-grabber by the NRA confiscates or taxes them to the max. A.W.R. Hawkins sums up where he stands on gun issues in Human Events.
All Hail Barack, Our Savior!
by Bill Curtiss
I came upon a college kid,
Whose eyes were wide with glee,
He said Barack Obama,
Was sent to set us free!
All hail Barack, our savior,
Disciples faint and cry,
While listening to his rhetoric,
Rising to the sky.
Yes give us Hope, and give us Change,
And give us much much more,
Barack has said we are the ones,
That we've been waiting for!
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
One hundred million dead.
We smile now for the crisis,
To our economy,
And count the blessings of a crash,
To finally set us free!
The market's broke, there's too much greed,
It's plain for all to see,
That's why Barack says now we need,
A NEW philosophy!
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
One hundred million dead.
We all must look to government,
Barack says, "Look to ME!
Because I have the answer, it's,
Economic equality!"
From each by their ability,
To each to fill their need,
Barack will guide us in this way,
To purge us of our greed.
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
One hundred million dead.
Barack, he went to Harvard,
His friends all went to Yale,
So THEY know how to run your life,
Or you can go to jail.
All hail our big computers,
Run by men from MIT
Their brains replace the marketplace,
With government, you'll see!
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
One hundred million dead.
And you there clinging to your guns,
Religion, property,
Hear his words, check out his smile,
And let him set you free!
Our plans require your patience,
A moment, you will see,
How great things get when we shut up,

They May Not Say It Out Loud, but They're Worried
For fear of being labeled racists, Wall Street executives have been notably reticent about criticizing Obama's economic schemes. In a time of instability in the markets, they only dare question his attraction to socialistic policies, inclination to raise taxes, protectionism, increased government spending, and granting more power to regulators in hushed tones. Since we at "Bloodthirsty Warmonger" have nothing to lose, we will come out and say that all of these proposals are exactly the wrong things to do to restore stability and prosperity.

More Political Cartoons
Before you say "*#$% it" to McCain, take a moment to reflect why Obama is loved by Planned Parenthood and other organizations advocating unrestricted abortion-on-demand.
Sad but true: Thousands of elected officials are banking on the fact that the typical voter has a short memory.
We in the alternative media have been following Sen. Biden's comment about how Obama will be "tested" in the early part of his first term, and do not regard it as a gaffe, but as an insight to be taken seriously. You have been forewarned.
The greatest single threat to the Obama presidential campaign has been identified and is being dealt with (slimed beyond recognition) even as we speak. It is none other than Joe Wurzelbacher, known to the public as "Joe the Plumber."
A Rare Opportunity for Center-Right Journalists
Matthew Sheffield of NewsBusters wrote: "Part of the reason that liberal bias in the elite media exists is that not enough conservatives and libertarians decide to get involved in journalism, especially straight news reporting.
"One of the best organizations on the right trying to combat this is the Phillips Foundation which has a program that pays generous amounts of money to encourage people to get involved in producing high-quality journalism that can really make a difference."

Not News: McCain Dominates Military Poll
A Military Times poll indicates landslide support for John McCain, who captures 68 percent of the military vote to Barack Obama's 23 percent.
UPDATE: Another blindingly obvious observation: "Coverage of McCain Much More Negative Than That of Obama."
UPDATE2: Investor's Business Daily has a day-by-day tracking poll that shows how changeable these statistics are. The difference between Sen. McCain & Sen. Obama has been as little as 1.1 points, with some biased polls giving Obama as much as a 10-point advantage. We believe this will be a close election, almost as much of a cliffhanger as Bush43-Gore.

Jazzed Up
In spite of all the negative propaganda you've been hearing about Gov. Sarah Palin, she still has enough star power to attract about 10,000 loyal Republicans to Security Service Field in Colorado Springs this morning, (estimate by KXRM-TV), the first of three stops in our state today. Before her appearance, we heard from Rep. Doug Lamborn, senatorial candidate Bob Schaffer - and country music star Hank Williams, Jr. Excessive echo made her difficult to hear, but she did draw an enthusiastic response with statements such as, "It's not mean spirited, not negative campaigning when someone is called out on their record, on their plans and on their associates."
The most recent photo of myself, at the Palin rallyTruth in advertising: Meanwhile, Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden raised more than a few eyebrows by announcing that if elected, Barack Obama will be tested within the first six months of his administration. How interesting, opined Rush Limbaugh.

General Powell Endorses Barack Obama!
According to the Wall Street Journal, former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced on "Meet the Press" today that he is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama.
"I strongly believe that at this point in America's history we need a president that will not just continue … the policies that we have been following in recent years," the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "We need a transformational figure."
Gen. Powell said he had found that Sen. McCain "was a little unsure as to how to deal with the economic problems we've been having. … That concerned me."

An Ugly Fruit of Hate Speech
When I went down to the Republican headquarters in downtown Colorado Springs to pick up a ticket for Gov. Sarah Palin's next campaign appearance in our city (Monday, 20 October, at Security Service Field, home of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox baseball team), I was astonished to see a two-block segment of Tejon St. blocked off by police cars! The Republicans set up a temporary ticket distribution point outdoors, while the bomb squad dealt with a phoned-in bomb threat. I admired their determination to keep up with the demand for tickets in spite of these interruptions.
UPDATE: It turns out that the mystery box contained a supply of pro-Obama literature left on the ground by a Democratic campaign worker. But the Colorado Springs police were anxious to avoid taking any chances, since they would be under condemnation if the box were actually booby-trapped.
