Cindy McCain just released her tax returns for the last two tax years.

2007 Total Income: $4,197,028.00

2007 Total Taxes: $1,138,189.00

2006 Total Income: $6,066,431.00

2006 Total Taxes: $1,746, 445.00

As you can see, in 2007, Cindy McCain earned less than the 5 million dollar threshold previously set by John McCain to be considered "rich". Case-closed, Cindy is obviously middle class.

 

In her latest stump speech in North Carolina, our favorite Arctic Airhead attributed the recent narrowing of the polls to God.

"We even saw today, thank the Lord,
We saw some movement"

I assume Palin is thanking her God for his efforts in improving her polling numbers, and not just her running mate's bowels. If so, I wonder if she will allow herself to internalize the corollary to that proposition; namely that come November, when the ticket of McCain/Palin is defeated, it must also be her God's will at work.

In Palin's opinion, her God has a dog in this fight. Being omnipotent, surely she can't feel that the will of her God can be usurped by mere democrats. It follows, therefore, that her eventual defeat is indeed, the will of her God.

Let's just hope that she take her defeat as a sign from her maker that she really should go back to her arctic abode and forever trouble us no more.

Unfortunately, I fear my hopes are naive. I believe it far more likely that Mrs. Palin will simply decry her defeat as the work of the Devil (or witches?). She will then and there vow to continue her obedience of her God's calling and will keep up her messianic fight fight fight to become President in 2012 - 'cause we all know that VP thingy was just a temporary stop over anyway!

You betcha, yup yup. Doggone it!

Post debate focuses on potency of McCain's zinger "I am not George Bush..."

I seem to remember Nixon once said: "I am not a Crook".
That zinger wasn't true either.

Just sayin.

 

 

Actually, the Russians arrived on Alaskan soil on Monday and Palin was too busy pallin' around with her new friends to even notice.

I'm so going to miss her when she's gone..... NOT!

 

That's the response I received when earlier today I called three friends who have previously voiced strong support for McCain. (I live in Texas where there is no shortage of McCain supporters.)

I asked the natural follow-up, "Why not?"
While their answers varied, they still carried the general theme of "it's not that important".

I have no illusion that Texas will go blue, and this is hardly a scientific survey, but it is nonetheless hopeful to see formerly strong McCain supporters now not really caring enough to even watch their candidate debate.

Apathy is an important crack in the wall of McCain support, even if only anecdotally sourced.

Easy, fast. Share the link.
Remember, Friends don't let friends vote McSame.

 

"Let me give you the state of the race today,"
McCain says in his new speech.
"We have 22 days to go. We're six points down. ...
"My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

John McCain (3.0) in stump speech in VA today.

The evidence of the coming Obama landslide is so apparent, it would seem the only way the repuglican party can possibly win is if pictures are found of Barack in bed with a chicken. So, in the interest of denying the repugs the opportunity to photoshop this evidence - PLEASE HIDE YOUR CHICKENS now! cheers!
