Obama vs. McCain: The Big Picture - Ayn Rand Admirers at The Atlasphere

nobody@vox.com(irregularapples) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:43:01 +0000

Not since 1972 have we been presented with two such painfully inadequate candidates. When election day came that year, I could not bring myself to vote for either George McGovern or Richard Nixon. I stayed home.

McCain Finally Rejects Hagee Backing as Nazi Remarks Surface - The Caucus - Politics - New York Time

nobody@vox.com(Vote for President Obama 2008) — Thu, 22 May 2008 22:49:27 +0000

SAN JOSE—Senator John McCain rejected the endorsement on Thursday of the evangelical leader, the Rev. John C. Hagee, three stormy months after it was first announced as part of an effort to shore up Mr. McCain’s standing among Christian conservatives. The Rev. John C. Hagee (Photo: Béatrice de Géa for The New York Times) The rejection of Mr. Hagee’s endorsement occurred after another controversial sermon from the televangelist and pastor of Cornerstone, a mega-church in San Antonio, surfaced in which he argued that biblical verses made clear that Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust was part of God’s plan to chase the Jews from Europe and drive them to Palestine.

Wilting Over Waffles - New York Times

nobody@vox.com(SerenityLife) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:24:28 +0000

She’s been running ads about it, suggesting he doesn’t have “what it takes” to run the country. Her message is unapologetically emasculating: If he does not have the gumption to put me in my place, when superdelegates are deserting me, money is drying up, he’s outspending me 2-to-1 on TV ads, my husband’s going crackers and party leaders are sick of me, how can he be trusted to totally obliterate Iran and stop Osama?

Obama Gets It Out in the Open - Chicago Sun-Times

nobody@vox.com(Vote for President Obama 2008) — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:50:07 +0000

In an extraordinary day in his more than yearlong quest for the presidency, Sen. Barack Obama on Friday sought to put behind him two raging controversies jeopardizing his bid: his relationships with his minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and with his friend and political patron, Tony Rezko. Obama held two extensive, separate sessions with journalists from the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune. An unassuming Obama entered a 10th-floor Sun-Times conference room for a conversation Friday, not as the hotshot at a rally. It was his moment — his time, as he himself might say — to try to bring this to an end. “I think it’s really important to make sure that you guys feel like you’ve got it all,” Obama said.
