Amazing how McCain and Palin become punching bags and Obama is left relatively unscathed. I hope to hell John Zogby’s prediction of a possible landslide for McCain is right on. A repeat of the trouncing Ronald Reagan gave Carter in 1980 will bring a smile to my face as I feverishly switch channels to see the forlorn faces of the left-wing, sycophants across the news media and entertainment industry. After the election many of us who have been appalled by this election cycle need to create personal blacklists and start exercising some freedom of speech of our own. Writing a few letters to network advertisers, staying out of the megaplexes on weekends and switching off the televisions would be a good start. I may not have the soapbox of a celebrity but I know participation in a grass roots effort to target a particular network, company or movie studio could prove extremely effective. The GE, NBC Universal and MSNBC cabal would be a great start. It’s time for conservatives to fight in the trenches and use the same tactics leftists have used for years. Let GE’s CEO Jeff Immelt, NBC Universal President Jeff Zucker and MSNBC President Phil Griffin know what how you feel.
Who knew there were so many (deluded) Republicans reading Nikki’s blog?!?
Oh, Frank. I’m sure as soon as Obama (that’s a ‘b’) does something as ridiculous as either McCain or Palin, SNL will be all over it with the mocking. Until then, keep looking toward the horizon to make sure those darn Ruskies don’t try to sneak over your fence.
Deluded? Why are the far and few always surprised they are surrounded by Republicans in this country? We shall see how liberal people are when they are behind a voting curtain. The media almost never mocks Obama. When was the last time someone won that the media didn’t mock?
Aaron, I don’t know which channel you’re watching, but I’ve seen Obama accused of being everything from racist to a flipflopper.
McCain has voted 90% of the time with Bush. Bush is responsible for the tanking economy, the lack of federal response to Katrina as our own citizens died, the quagmire in Iraq, failing to find Osama Bin Laden, our country’s falling standing internationally, allowing jobs to go overseas through corporate tax breaks, and global warming by rolling over for the oil companies and giving tax breaks to Hummer drivers.
Palin is so unqualified, inexperienced, and, frankly, stupid as not to merit any serious examination.
Aaron – “Palin is so unqualified, inexperienced, and, frankly, stupid as not to merit any serious examination.”
And Obama has had 143 days in the Senate – he can’t even remember how many states the U.S. has – and wants to give $50 billion to the United Nations as soon as he becomes President. Wow, that makes him oh-so-qualified and smart to be a leader of the U.S. – NOT.
Sorry Aaron! That comment was for John. And also John – who was responsible for the tanking ecomony again? Democrats, in charge of the big corporations that are tanking now. The “quagmire” you say happened in Iraq has, due to the surge, become a success (which now the news media hardly talks about because of this), only 3 percent of jobs are going overseas (a little known fact), the Katrina fiasco mostly happened due to the Democrats running the state not doing anything (not accepting government help was a big one, thanks Gov. Blanco), and oh yeah, there haven’t been any attacks on the U.S. since 9/11.
I’d also like to know when Obama stepped across the aisle to try and reach out to Republicans. When did that happen?? Or did I miss that??
Sadly, the Palin skit wasn’t half as funny as the actual interview. They should never let her speak without a handler in the room. What a maroon!
