Who Was The KISS OF DEATH??? Palin? Bush? Cheney? Joe P? Joe L? Fate?

[opihimoimoi]

Someone was the Main KoD for McPain.....

Was it Bush who didn't participate as he should have?

Dave "Can I give you a ride to the Airport??" Letterman?

Larry Craig/Dave Vitter?

Rush?

Coulter?

OReally?

Who Kissed the Dude?

[DJ13]

1. Greenspan

[EFerrari]

2. Bingo.

[chalky]

14. That gets MY vote.

n/t

[RoyGBiv]

3. This guy ...

And this moment ...

[opihimoimoi]

7. The HUG of DEATH???"" The votes are high for this one...

Big Blunder....Bush = Bluder of the GOP...."Its Over".....

[RoyGBiv]

8. He wants to kiss him ...

Look at 'im snuggling up to his neck.

Urp ... umm ... 'scuse me. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[opihimoimoi]

12. Yikes....my eyes...they burn........

[cjsmom44]

20. Kiss of Death

This was the beginning of the end...Palin was the nail in the coffin

[olegramps]

27. I vote for this one. It was really disgusting after he had been trashed by these bastards.

[billyoc]

4. Reagan.

[Posteritatis]

5. McCain himself? (nt)

[opihimoimoi]

13. His Decisions has been suspect and when Palin was selected w/o proper vetting

McPain looked lolo ....

He qualies for kissing himself......

[napoleon_in_rags]

6. I would love to see approval ratings of previous presidents in their last months against..

...presidential candidates from their own party, to see the correlation. I'll bet McCain was above average. My bet here is that Bush was the KoD. Not Bush alone, but the fact that so many Republicans marched in complete lockstep with the guy, that he really became the republican brand. At the end of the day it was too hard for McCain to argue that he was different, not because of Obama pressing the point, but because of the actions of so many in his own party.

[opihimoimoi]

10. ahhhhh...The KoD came from the GOP and its members? I can go w that...

Its just the Wrong Year for all Pubs.....Bush worked his ass off to reach this level of Rejection...

[regnaD kciN]

9. Four little words...

..."In what respect, Charlie?"

From the Convention until that moment, "Rock Star" Palin was carrying the Republican ticket. From then on, her inadequacies became too obvious to ignore, and the entire Republican campaign began to implode.

[opihimoimoi]

11. Good Point...the Blame arrow turns to Palin as the KoD?? I can see that too...

:toast:

[opihimoimoi]

34. Palin wins going away.........................

She and SNL did the ticket in

[Iterate]

15. They all worked so hard, poor things, to do the very worst,

repeating the same mistakes over and over and over. It must be in their nature, or maybe it's the romantic pull of the 1890's when empires were all and life was good for the robber barons. None had the wisdom or courage to take a retreat, dump the fundies, and do a Dean-style, Obama-enacted renewal with a new vision for themselves.

Like all the dead flies on my window sill, they just keep trying, only harder.

I hope they never figure it out.

[opihimoimoi]

16. Only a small % will figure it out....most will obstinately reject change

cling to old notions and strategies....

Theyt fight their last victories....

[earthlover]

17. The kiss of death was in the debate when mccain called Obama "that one"

and wandered around the stage like he was confused. He crossed the line and looked old, both in one night.

[opihimoimoi]

39. Confused and aged in one night....Bad Combo....Picked Palin was bad move

:toast:

[secondwind]

18. McCain was his own destruction..............

[JCMach1]

19. Palin! I broke into laughter when I heard the news of her joining the ticket

and the first thing I said to my wife was... we just won the election...

[opihimoimoi]

30. After review...its between Palin and McCaca

For our side....its the Best Kiss of Death we coulda hoped for....Bwahahahaha

[mwb970]

55. McCaca!

That's a good one, but a little late I fear.

[Solomon]

73. McCaca for sure. George Allen would have been their

nominee and he would have been much harder to beat.

[Rebellious Republican]

21. Eight years of deceit, culminating in a comedy of errors by outdated

thinking.

:kick:
:shrug:

[opihimoimoi]

38. Bush??? Poor analysis? Poor decisions? Bush....

:beer:

[markevil]

22. Wallets..

People may finally vote for their own best interests

[happychatter]

23. greenspan? milt friedman? carlysle group? greed generally? how about the kiss of LIFE?

yup

the kiss of life...

what was that?

[opihimoimoi]

70. Donald Trumps fave expression...the KoD

Palin/Bush Combo fucked McLame into submission...

[Vinca]

24. Palin. If he had chosen Mittens, who could have spoken somewhat

normally about economic matters, it would have been a tougher race. McCain lost many of the educated Republican vote with Sarah "You Betcha" Palin. She became a punchline.

[agentS]

29. Yup. Palin divided and conquered the GOP

and sent everybody else screaming and running to Obama/Biden.

Maybe that was the plan all along.

[theothersnippywshrub]

25. Supply Side Jesus. n/t

[jsaro]

26. MILFy Barbie, no doubt

You couldn't have made her up, really. The gift that keeps on giving.

[opihimoimoi]

31. and She continues on into the night....that lady can TALK....Constantly and in Pagent style

:toast:

[MarthaMyDear]

28. Palin...and the increasing racism of the McCain campaign...

[jakem]

32. it was death of 1000 kisses.

[opihimoimoi]

40. Destiny...HIS TIME TO LOSE......not to win....he had 26 years of winning already

[treestar]

33. Saying the fundamentals of the economy were sound

Didn't he say it just before the stock market declined and the big bailout occurred?

[opihimoimoi]

58. He really blew that one....what timing....its almost if Obama has some Force watching over him...

Protecting him...

[NotThisTime]

35. Palin no doubt

[HopeFor2006]

36. Truth and Justice

[ipfilter]

37. Katrina.

And a host of others. However, Katrina was the event when people started to admit the ReThugs had no cloths.

[opihimoimoi]

43. Good Point but out numbered by Phalin Palin

:bounce:

[tanyev]

41. Palin...maybe she was wearing poisonous lipstick.

[opihimoimoi]

42. Poison Palin??? Lips are often the trouble maker...LOL

[8 track mind]

44. oh thats easy......

Palin. When the news was released the she would be McCains running mate, he said "Oh SHIT!". It should be noted that he's a minister...............

[blm]

45. GEORGE W BUSH, post-Katrina, post-Iraq Civil War, post-Record Home Foreclosure,

and post-50 state strategy from the DNC.

[opihimoimoi]

81. The Hug of Death.....Bushie hugged the dude and that was that...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

46. Death by a Thousand Cuts. -nt

[genna]

47. McCain's choice of embracing Bush and selecting no nothing Palin

With that embrace, he solidified the American people's mind that he was NOT RUNNING AWAY FROM BUSH POLICIES. Obama just had to work that information to the top of thinking people's minds.

With the Palin selection, he proved to fair minded Republicans (which is an oxymoron) that he didn't care about digging out from all the b.s. during Bush's reign. Her inability to answer basic national questions was his death song.

[opihimoimoi]

68. That was Pathetic...She was Worse....Tina Fey mocked her no end on SNL

:beer:

[slick8790]

48. Let's talk about kisses of death after the polls close, yeah? n/t

[meow mix]

49. God is weaker than Hindu

so we voted for obama

[Essene]

50. Bush set them up for defeat... and then Palin was the KoD

[opihimoimoi]

69. LOL....I get it::: Bush figures he can Look Good if someone WORSE than him follows

Typ Bully Tactic...always pick a TARGET. make them appear worse than yourself.

[Sorceress]

51. Palin and her Katie Couric interview were the nails in the coffin.

[creature of habit]

52. Jay Severin

and to a lesser extent Howie Carr



All polictics is local

[graywarrior]

53. Wall Street.

[opihimoimoi]

59. Econ 202....the KoD...who woulda thought...LOL

[southpaw]

54. Obama

Everyone else may have weakened the republican beast, but it is Barack Obama who will deliver the coup de grace.

[opihimoimoi]

57. LOL... I believe you are right.....

[Hansel]

75. Amen! n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

56. Bush and Cheney and most of all Karl Rove.

The stink was too much to overcome!

The plumber can't even clean up their Critical Mess!

[blm]

61. people forget that by Nov 2006 the Dems were EXPECTED to win handily in 2008.

.

[opihimoimoi]

62. Ya noes, I forgot bout that....the Tide had already TURNED 2 Years ago..GOOD ONE

:toast:

[blm]

71. If not for the DNC's 4yrs effort with a 50 state strategy there was always the possibility of

another stolen election. A stronger national party is assuring THIS win cannot be stolen. Yeah Dean and Dem party.

[opihimoimoi]

76. Deaniac here....he is one smart Dude....

:toast:

[blm]

83. The sad truth is that NO Dem could win with the old DNC as they couldn't GET their votes secured

and counted.

Dean couldn't have won in 2004 with McAuliffe's DNC, but Kerry WOULD have won 2004 with Dean's DNC. Hell....Gore would be making his farewell address come January if we had Dean's DNC in 2000.

[opihimoimoi]

84. Fate deals funny hands sometimes....Destiny calls for the perfect sit for Obama...

a weak pub and econ conditions conducive to the GOP demise

and an unusual Candidate in Obama...the guy with new ideas and a funny name...

[opihimoimoi]

66. The Plumber ??? He is a Fake Plummer..He couldn't fix a leaky bucket even if he had 2 rolls of duct

tape...

and I still have them 576 rolls left when Tom Ridge asked all Americans to get duct tape and plastic sheets to ward off them Terror guys....you tube Lewis Black for some fun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYyb485KewY

[dascientist]

60. the pig with the lipstick on it?

[opihimoimoi]

63. The PIG turned out to be BUSH and he HUGGED McGramps in a HUG of DEATH...LOL

:beer:

[fadedrose]

64. CHENEY, for years

Nothing anyone's been or done before or lately has influenced my vote more than my dislike of Cheney . . . .

[opihimoimoi]

67. That last tape of him supporting McLame was over the TOP Hubris

He actually urged us to vote RED....is he fucking nuts or what?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYyb485KewY

Duct tape, Lewis Black

[madeline_con]

65. The past 8 years. n/t

[Poseidan]

72. 40-year cycle

Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson (1933-1969) (4 d, 1 r)

Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush (1969-2008) (2 d, 5 r)

It is the end of an era. A particularly bad one. Far worse than the Democratic era preceding it. The Republican party might not recover like the Democratic party did, since the D party didn't do horrible things during their period.

[opihimoimoi]

78. The PUBs Blew it...over confident, over zealous, arrogant, forgot the main Mission, rejected

suggestion, etc etc

Bush himself and his supporters really gave The GOP a Bad Brand Name....so much that they reap the losses today...

[electron_blue]

74. McCain himself. He would have survived all this had he handled the various

crises that cropped up differently.

[opihimoimoi]

77. he pretty much blew it himself....unable to make crucial decisions with accruacy

kept missing the mark

:beer:

[WinkyDink]

79. MCCAIN. LOOK AT THIS GROTESQUE.

[codjh9]

80. A combination of hubris, fuck-ups, arrogance, lies... the list is LONG. n/t

[opihimoimoi]

82. Death by a 1000 kisses....LOL
