Our gal Kevlarchick sent me a few pics her sister took when she was at the McCain - Pally rally in Cincinnati yesterday. Her sis mentioned she got there about 3 hours ahead of time, which put her right up close to the plane. After the rally they got to shake hands with McCain and Sarah, the families and the rest of the entourage.

Here's the First Dude (a nod to the ladies first)

kevlarchick mentions her sister got to see Todd up close and shake hands, and passed along her comment "WOWZA!"

heh.

When some "capitalist" just won't get with the program, what else are you gonna do, right? Of course they also planned on handing over big chunks of CONUS to various and sundry commie countries who would want a piece of the action.

Pol Pot - 2M (lots)
Hitler - 6M (more than lots * 2)
Stalin - 20M (quite a bit more than (more than lots *2))
Ayers - 25M

Just a guy in the neighborhood...who had plans for genocide. more...

Barack Obama has tried to claim he's in favor of an individual right to own firearms.

The NRA has discovered his record tells a different story, and now they're pointing it out in ads, in this month's issue of "American Rifleman" and on the web. Here are some choice quotes by The One:

"I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry." - Obama, Chicago Tribune, April 27, 1994

"...just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right..." - 2008 Philadelphia primary debate

And let's not forget his work for the Joyce Foundation.

Is there anything this guy won't lie about?* more...

Within the margin of error.

Democratic Rep. John Murtha leads retired Army Lt. Col. William Russell by a little more than 4 percentage points, within the Susquehanna Poll's 4.9-point margin of error. The poll of 400 likely voters was conducted for the Tribune-Review on Tuesday, amid uproar over Murtha's statement that some of his constituents are racist.

Man, I would love to see those bitter "rednecks" hand this jackass a loss.

Somehow, someway, one of the rightwing fascists on our side infiltrated CNN and managed to write this article.

”SEATTLE, Washington (CNN) -- Clifton Mitchell helped register nearly 2,000 voters for the community group ACORN. But not one of them actually existed.”

"I regret it. I paid the price for it," he said.

“Mitchell was convicted last year and spent nearly three months in prison. He's one of the few ACORN workers convicted of voter registration fraud.”

”They took addresses from homeless shelters, used fake birthdays and Social Security numbers and took names from baby books to create voters out of thin air.”

"Every day I'd go to the library and get a newspaper," Mitchell said. "I had one guy who'd go to the phone book. Everyone had different methods."

Added: Yes, the second half of the article tries to downplay the issue that false voter registration translates into actual votes, but ACORN's tactic is to submit all of these fake registrations at the last possible second and overwhelm the already overwhelmed local election officials. Chaos ensues and then we hear the inevitable cry of "Voter suppression!"

This article is reported by Treacher, so I'm not sure the quotes are entirely accurate.

Sometimes I suspect he just makes things up. (Kinda like Joe Biden, actually.)

What sort of "Oh my God, what are they doing?" decisions does Joe Biden have in mind?

How about a reinstatement of the draft? The left has always been bewitched with this idea -- you can't fight a war, they think, if the soldiers are conscripts.

Thanks to KB for that last one.

PDF.

Slublog it would look better than the retard-signs you morons fashion out of pizza boxes and ink made from Mountain Dew and dog feces.

We haven't actually printed it out yet so we don't know how it looks.

UPDATE: Slu saw that one of your morons jumped ugly in the comments and he asked me (Jack M.) to make it absolutely clear that he neither claims authorship of the original sign nor any participation with it's creation. He was just trying to get a downloadable version up here so that it would get out to as many interested people as possible.

It was intended to compliment Iowahawk's efforts. If you would rather go there to get your sign, there is a handy link from a post here a couple days ago which credited Iowahawk.

Whoops [ace]: I didn't know that was Iowahawk's design. I guess I didn't stop to wonder whose design it was, and whether or not they might like credit, to be honest.

Apologies.
