And his nephews are great: I've looked up to them my whole life, as they are my cousins. Here's how the family tree goes: my mom's sister is married to Scott Furstman, whose sister is Stacy Furstman. Stacy Furstman (Weitzman from her prior marriage) is married to Henry Winkler. Thus, I can safely say that if Henry supports Obama, then I see that as a good thing for McCain. It sure takes a lot for an entire family to change the channel when their uncle comes on.

Hollywood bitches, making me click on something and watching the entire video...tricksters!

I want to believe, I want to believe that Obama is somehow going to magically make things better, but I do have reservations and I guess there are issues that I still struggle with, which aren't so easy for me to just whistle away and act as though we would all be better for. But that's just my pessimistic streak, I suppose.

It was the FONZ.

If Barack Obama is good enough for Arthur Fonzarelli - he's good enough for America.

I'm only partially kidding.

Hollywood actor folk play parts so they seem like they're just average fellers, but there richer and smarter and better and can help us with such lofty idears as 'voting' and 'thinking'.

Also, I wonder if any of the candidates have seen that boring as hell documentary that I think only Massawyrm and myself have seen. I don't know why Massa did it, I'm hedging my bets in the even that Purgatory is real. I just shaved off like a half century for watching that thing. I did have to watch CSPAN for a half an hour to readjust my ability to perceive motion in real time. Kinda like divers adjusting to atmosphere.

I know his private life. As stated by your Messiah, "Yeah, well - the - yeah, I think most people understand - that if you're not - caring for your family - then - you're probably not - the kind of person who's gonna be caring for other people."

Chaci didn't even vote!

Lenny and Squiggy want to see more of Palin. If you know what I mean.

"Democrat", "Republican", "liberal", "conservative"... those words are meaningless. I just saw a YouTube video blaming Obama for the mortgage crisis; he voted against strict regulations that could have prevented it. But we all know that if he had voted for MORE regulations, there would be a different YouTube video calling him a socialist. Or a communist. Or one of them commie-nazis. You can make anyone look bad by playing the word-association game instead of looking at actual issues, and we should all be sick of it.

Roy: "And I'm a grinnin'!"

Both: "And we don't want no colored socialist muslim in the White House!"

-- Wall Street's five biggest firms are paying a record $39 billion in bonuses for 2007, a year when three of the companies suffered the worst quarterly losses in their history and shareholders lost more than $80 billion. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch & Co., Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Bear Stearns Cos. together awarded $65.6 billion in compensation and benefits last year to their 186,000 employees. That means year-end bonuses, at 60 percent of the total, exceeded the $36 billion distributed in 2006 when the industry reported all-time high profits. The New York-based firms, which shed 25 percent of their equity value during 2007, have said they're eliminating at least 6,200 jobs amid mounting losses from the collapse of the subprime mortgage market. The payouts come as the U.S. economy slows, with unemployment rising, retail sales declining and new home foreclosures surging to a record. ``To many people, it will be shocking and questionable,'' said Jeanne Branthover, managing director of Boyden Global Executive Search in New York. ``People in New York in the world of investment banking will understand it. It's critical that pay is still there or you're going to lose really good people.'' The industry's bonuses are larger than the gross domestic products of Sri Lanka, Lebanon or Bulgaria, and the average bonus of $219,198 is more than four times higher than the median U.S. household income in 2006, according to data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau.----

Yeah, I think we could all live with taxing those fuckers and the likes of Exxon a little bit more so the Middle class and those under $250,00 a year can get a Tax Cut in a Recession.

She is a complete Quayle of a VEEP who is dragging down the Ticket for McCain as the Polls are now showing Yes! but not a sexual object.

And when Hockey mom spends $150,000 on clothes in a few weeks there is absolutely NO danger of having respect for the likes of her. Watching McCain cringe beside her at her answers in the interview last night it's kind of hard to argue she deserves much respect now if McCain can't even show her much.

McCain meanwhile has what, 8? 10? 12? Houses and about 12 cars I don't think this horseshit about being on the side of the average American is going to fly somehow.

As for the predictable scaremongering about Obama, we've heard it all before and Colin Powell certainly doesn't think he's a risk on National Security, unlike putting the likes of Palin a heartbeat away from the Presidency. But I suppose in a crunch she could always blow kisses and wink like she did at the debate. So clearly she's well equipped to tackle 2 intractable Wars and an Economic Cataclysm on top of a Recession.

And since the Keating Five incident in the 80s, McCain's been on a crusade to fight corruption wherever he could in Congress. Has it always worked? No. But he's, at least, put in the effort, unlike the majority of his collegues.

I'd much rather vote for a guy who's PROVEN that he'll do what he says, rather than some unknown snake-oil dealer who hides behind promises of "HOPE," but whose resumé consists of a blank sheet of paper with references that all belong in the state pen.

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981, and McCain was the only one of the five with close social and personal ties to Keating. Like DeConcini, McCain considered Keating a constituent as he lived in Arizona. Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates. In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln. In 1989 Phoenix New Times writer Tom Fitzpatrick opined that McCain was the "most reprehensible" of the five senators.(Wiki)

Poor judgement in a huge Economic fuck up like the savings and loan scandal. Why, that's clearly just the person needed to solve this current colossal Economic clusterfuck.

Never mind. Keep trying with the smears. They can all be rebuffed or as I've shown returned, as there is plenty in McCains past without even bringing up his disfigured previous wife and his "honorable" beehaviour towards her.

My point about Keating is that McCain has terrible judgement not that he was convicted of anything or went to jail.

Terrible judgement like picking Palin just as the Economy was beginning to smash to pieces and the recession was really beginning to hit hard.

Or picking Pastor Hagee to get a fullsome endorsement from when the guy is a batshit insane fucking lunatic who said God had sent Hitler to hunt the Jews and cause the Holocaust.

Or like picking Samuel the unlicensed Plumber to base almost all of his last debates Economic and Tax Policy on when Samuel hadn't even paid some of his Taxes and would qualify for Obamas middle class Tax Cut.

Or like dropping out of the Campaign to do nothing at a meeting with Bush on the Bailout then appearing erratic and flip-flopping by changing his mind to appear at the debate with Obama.

Or like trying to smear Obama with this laughable "conection" to Ayres then telling Palin and the Campaign to shut the fuck up about terrorists when the polls told him it was backfiring badly.

Maybe it isn't bad judgement. Maybe he's just having a few "senior" moments. But for every absurdly tenuous "connection" to Obama McCain has a "connection" to an "interesting" character too.

The biggest of course being his connection to a certain George W. Bush. Unless of course McCain decides the week before polling he's going to stop being a Republican. (that WOULD take a hell of a senior moment admittedly.)

The difference between the Campaigns is Obama doesn't need to go negative 24/7 whereas McCain is doing just that and merely looks like a re-run of Bush's Campaigns.

Obama just needs to do what he's been doing for months and keep Campaigning on the Economy because it really is that simple.

IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID!

Learn it well.

I also gather from the vid that Fonzie is a former Bush supporter.

Do you right-wingers ever realize how badly you get the wool pulled over your eyes?

Shifty real estate deals with convicted slumlord Tony Rezko... check!

Working with an unrepentant domestic terrorist and launching his political career in said terrorist's living room... check!

Embracing Rev. Jeremiah Wright as his spiritual mentor and sucking up his racist and "God Damn America" tripe for the past 20 years as a member of his church... check!

Paying ACORN almost $1 million for "get out the vote" efforts this year, subsequently followed by mass voter registration fraud across the country...check!

Picking Joe the Biden as his VP candidate and then having to "explain" why Biden is convinced electing Obama would result in a "generated" world crisis...check!

Maybe it isn't bad judgment. But based on Obama's almost non-existent record of accomplishment, it's hard to find evidence that the guy has that much GOOD judgment when it comes to being trustworthy and serving the people of this country.

McCain down by 7 in Ohio down by 2 in Florida down by almost 10 in Pennsylvania and thats with Voting ALREADY underway. Yes the Rovian Bush negative Campaigning sure is paying off Big Time!

Oh and for those who are still trying the desperate socialist smear here's a reminder of what that arch socialist John McCain said about spreading the wealth.

"because we feel obviously that wealthy people can afford more."

"Here's what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more."

Finally some GOOD judgement from McCain.

And this lying deadbeat has become a right-wing media darling for hassling Obama about why should he pay higher taxes if he ever gets rich? Joe the Fake Plumber will never make $250K in his life, let alone in one tax year. Fake Joe is a phony agitator, nothing more.
