McCain moves around the carpet like a roomba.

so I thought I’d change my name on facebook to A.J. Hussein Colianni.

Many of my friends have done so in a show of solidarity with Barack Hussein Obama.

It seems many people in the Republican Party can’t bear the thought of having a president with a name that doesn’t sound “like everyone elses'”

well, it appears facebook isn’t going to let me…

first time i’ve been over to McCain’s website. Are they serious?

We are AWESOME! WE HAVE THE POWER OF 7 STARS. VOTE for MCCAIN!

If you say it WITH ALL BOLD LETTERS it is more true. Did you know that?

And really? beyond who’s doubt? the third-grade class she gave the “shout out” to? i bet they were impressed. me and most of America? Not so much. Only 42% said she was qualified to be president in the CNN poll following the debate. Is 42% “beyond any doubt”?

The New York Times fact-checkers just ran through Maverick McCain’s recent speech in Alburquerque. At least 15 lies. This is stuff he is repeating over and over again, hoping it magically turns true? Hoping that people won’t notice?

I guess being a Maverick means that the truth doesn’t really mean the truth. You can say whatever you want to say when you’re a straight-talkin maverick!

Remember, this is Rove’s followers running McCain’s campaign. This is the new Republican party.

“From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.”

I’m just going to quote these latest posts verbatim from TPM. Get over there if you haven’t been reading.

Who They Are, What They’re About

So we have McCain today getting his crowd riled up asking who Barack Obama is and then apparently giving a wink and a nod when one member of the crowd screams out “terrorist.”

And later we have Sarah Palin with the same mob racket, getting members of the crowd to yell out “kill him“, though it’s not clear whether the call for murder was for Bill Ayers or Barack Obama. It didn’t seem to matter.

These are dangerous and sick people, McCain and Palin. Whatever it takes. Stop at nothing.

From McCain’s Pennsylvania Surrogates

Pennsylvania GOP calls Obama “a terrorist’s best friend.”

This is what we are dealing with here. People who will stop at nothing to be President. Time to wake up and smell the proverbial coffee. McCain is using the same people who smeared him in 2000 to smear Obama. This is politics at its absolute, cynical worst. And John McCain, the straight-talking maverick is leading the charge.

the most revealing of McCain’s flip-flops was his promise, made at the beginning of the year, that he would “raise the level of political dialogue in America.” McCain pledged he would “treat my opponents with respect and demand that they treat me with respect.”

Oh yeah?

Just finished reading the revealing and disturbing Make-Believe Maverick.

I hope we can stop the charade that John McCain is somehow a straight-talkin maverick.

Something tells me we won’t be able to.
