He is Down by Double Digits in Many Polls. He is Running Out of Money. So Which is it? Is He Delusional, Keeping up Appearances, or Telegraphing

that the Fix is In?



"Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he can “guarantee” a win on Nov. 4 in a squeaker victory that won’t be clear until late that night."

Now, if I were not paying attention to this race very closely, I might rest assured that it is either option one, or two, or both, but as long as smoke signals like the following are being seen in the air, out over the valley:


"Bush forwarded to Attorney General Michael Mukasey a Republican request that he intervene in the battleground state of Ohio to force 200,000 new voters to either verify the information on their registration forms or cast provisional ballots, which are often thrown out after the voter leaves the polling place."

As long as "Plan B" still seems to be in play, I will not rest easy.

Now I do admit to being sceptical about the blogger, as a source, but it does seem like the Plastic Turkey Man, to try to screw the Constitution one more time, by inserting the Attorney General and the DOJ into a political fight. Now why do I say that? It is not as if he has done that before.

Wait. I mean HE HAS done this before. Remember kids, that at the core of the scandal we can call Gonzo-gate, the politically based mass firing of U.S. Attorneys, the (they said so not me) official cover story and flimsy excuse for the firings were that the U.S. Attys were not aggressively pursuing these sorts of cases on account of that whole lack of evidence thing. Who needs evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence, when partisan political objectives are in play.

Ya. So I do have some basis for being totally suspicious of Bush sticking his finger into the election now.


Among other dubious distinctions, he is definitely going into the history books as the most Partisan President, of the most Politically Motivated Administration, up to his time.

And that is saying a lot in American History.

But still, I hope "Plan B," will fail. I am actually a member of the counter legion, pledged to fight them bastids.

EDIT TO ADD:

Just when you think these Republicans have hit bottom with their thuggish garbage, they find a way to dig just a little bit deeper into the scum:

"Man Accused Of Threatening Secretary Of State Arrested
Friday, October 24, 2008 9:58 PM

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man accused of making threatening phone calls to the Ohio Secretary of State's office was arrested on Friday.
The State Highway Patrol said Dana McArtor was charged with intimidation in a threat phone last week to the office of Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner."

Man Accused Of Threatening Secretary Of State


Ok, the article does not specify the thug to be a Republican, but ya know? She won her case against the State Republican Party, so I doubt it was a Dem threatening her.


And before I go (to see that movie about Plastic Turkey Man) I will say that I am/was looking for independent redundant reporting of the Bush Intervenes story.
