Wow turn on the sunday talk shows and it is shrill and sad. I just finished watching Meet the press and BOOM to my surprise up pops Condi and her twin Jack (british SOS) for a nice little press conference. I will wrap that up really quick for all of you who were asleep like a sane person..
To the Iraqi Peeps:
"Form a government that is NOT approved by Iran and we approve of or we are leaving and all teh people dying in the streets will be yours and the press fault."
Now the jist of the actual Press conference:
We were in the neighborhood thought we would drop by prove how safe the country is and let the good coperative and very civil elected Iraqi poloticians now that we are behind them and it is time to pick a leader and we are comfortable with however they choose (riiiighhhtt and Monkeys may fly out of my arse)
My god it was shrill look look american people we are going to pull out we swear!! I honestly could not believe what I was watching. The stupidity of this administration and arrogance for that matter is breathtaking! How did they think they could unite Iraq when they can't even get the republican party to agree that taking water away from Mexicans coming across the desert is a bad idea? Please oh Please America turn out this November pay attention and kick these people in the teeth.
Now onto Mr Jackarse..err I mean the chosen one McCain. Wow has he drank the rovarian Cool aid or what? I haven't seen so much arse kissin and back tracking since Ricky S decided to stop talking to lobbyists and then just well decided that was a bad idea and then said he never said it. Santorum is another rant let us look however disturbing at McCain this morning.
I asked my very red and Conservative father in Law what he thought of McCain "he is a weasel 08 we need some new blood anyone of these old guard guys is a bad idea". Now he has hated McCain for a long time calling him everything from a RHINO to a jilted ex so might not be the best case study he also claimed he is hoping for Condi. However talking to all my little conservative sources McCain seems to be sinking like a rock, so the question is who does he think he is fooling?
All the guys that thought he was going to sweep in and save the GOP from the Christian right thinks he is a fraud and a dreaded "politician" now, and the Christian right bible thumpers think he is a big fat fake. The backtracking on Falwell made my heart warm I really could not believe that Russert called him to the mat. I think russert is a little pissed off he knew who he was going to vote for and then bam McCain gets invaded by the RC. Though let us all be clear the reason why this is happening is because McCain sold his little soul what little he had left to bushy and Rove deal went something like this "Shut up be a good party boy support me and I will promise you will get no interference from me in 08 AND rove here will go to work for you".
I think it is also important to say that Kerry (yes still have a bumper sticker on and personally love the guy so know this when i take this dig) and other Democrats did us NO favors by building McCain up as the gold standard to a moderate in 04 constantly name dropping that he worked with him blah blah and it will take more than this for us to tear him down.
I do think that he will come out unscathed in the primary Rove is going to get behind him and Bush is going to call off Falwell and Dobson and let him through. I originally thought the Christian right would send a suicide person out to take him down most likely Frist however he just looks like a boob with the Schiavo tape running about and will make a quick exit out of the primary. I think the preferred ticket of bushy is McCain Guiliani everyone knows rove has been sending Rudy out to make nice with the South and he has done nothing to lay the ground work for an 08 run.I do think VP is what they have in store for him because of this. On it's surface it is a strong ticket and will be tough to beat nearly perfect in Roves mind lots of 9-11 references big military creditials though the more they get out there the more beatable they are looking.
