On NPR just now. Person after person calling in. Palin has convinced them to vote for McCain.

[Kablooie]

She seems so bright and strong.
It's so nice to have a woman in the Whitehouse.
Her daughter will marry the schmuck that got her pregnant and that is so wonderful!
(Seems like they think out of wedlock babies are even more wonderful than in wedlock ones.)

It's INSANE!

All the issues that have cropped up are totally irrevelant.
So she's being investigated for corruption. Big deal. She's got nice hair and a pregnant daughter so I'm voting for McCain.

Makes you almost want to leave the country to the maggots.
Gads.

1. Except the polls don't show that.

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. Those callers must be organized.

[Kablooie]

5. To be fair, they specifically asked Republicans and conservatives to call in.

[krkaufman]

16. Thanks for that followup.

There's no question that Palin will energize the hard-core Republicans, the 20%ers, 'cause she's more one of them than McCain... she's McCain's compromise to get the extreme Right back on board.

What remains to be seen is whether her selection will cost McCain the vote of those in the middle.

[pnwmom]

28. Well then, that's what they got. Anytime there's a self-selected group though

you know it's going to be a sham.

[backscatter712]

11. DING DING DING!!! Rovian shills!!!

The Rethugs are reduced to paying hired shills to express their "opinions".

[Divernan]

17. Sarah learned to do phone banks in the PTA; and the fundie churchies have phone chains

to get the message out.

[FrenchieCat]

3. You think those callers are a coincidence?

It's Psyche-ops propaganda war at its most apparent!

[msallied]

4. Don't worry. It does not reflect the electorate in any way.

America still is made up of mostly normal people. Mostly. lol

[Cha]

6. Well, I talked to a real live person

tonight who supported Hillary and she said that woman wasn't going to make her vote for mccain. She really likes Joe Biden:)

[WheelWalker]

20. I couldn't agree more. Joe's a keeper.

[Zynx]

7. If you went by anecdotal evidence, Ron Paul was on his way to a landslide.

[quakerboy]

19. By anecdotal evidence, he still is.

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. Propaganda.........nt

[lapfog_1]

9. Sometimes, when I think about the idiots that populate this

country (and, likely, most if not all others)...

I sorta hope the naysayers are correct about the black hole creating potential of this device:




Probably an interesting way to die. Quick too.

[FVZA_Colonel]

25. That way, or via strangelets.

We wouldn't have to suffer 4 to 8 more years of this bull shit that way, and maybe we'd be a good message to the rest of the universe in our demise.

[lapfog_1]

27. Quicker than the more likely GRB. And much less painful

than the most likely Global Climate Change and the Resource Wars that follow.

[GrizzlyMan]

10. Couldn't care less

NPR ain't what it used to be.

[Metric System]

12. There are too many stupid people in America. I am feeling hopeless. Republicans get away with

everything. They act like such damn hypocrites but voters eat that shit up again and again. And then ask for some more.

[Union Thug]

13. One word: Operatives. n/t

[Vektor]

14. That's typical of Republicans, though.

When it's all said and done, they will swallow anything the party spoon-feeds them, no matter how ridiculous it is. The lockstep, brain-dead, Christofascists will frothingly do whatever they are told by the Repuke powers that be.

McCain could have announced that his running mate was a voo-doo doll molded out of his own shit and belly button lint, and the RW lunatic fringe would have dropped down to their knees to worship it and sing its praises en masse.

I would expect nothing else from the 29%ers. They do what they're told.

[Yavin4]

15. If McCain/Palin Wins

We will soon be irrigating our crops with Brawndo.

[Iris]

18. She has nice hair? I think the chip clip and gold highlights are the equivalent of a head band

or worse...

[Crunchy Frog]

21. And you think these people weren't already going to vote for him?

God are you naive.

[McCamy Taylor]

22. That is the churches. They are also praying that McCain dies.

Not very Christian of them.

[AZBlue]

23. The majority of people vote by their emotions, not logic.

We need to fight emotionally not logically.

[melody]

24. I heard it -- they asked for Republicans and conservatives to call in

They were already determined to vote for the witch.

[Up2Late]

26. They are reporting from the RNC Convention! It's called being "on message..."

Those are all Karl Rove Clones (clowns?). They are Republic Party Robots! Don't worry, the rest of the country isn't buying this shit-sandwich.

If you want to hear something REALLY disgusting, go to their website and listen to total crap David Brooks is spewing there.
