Why It's Not His Fault - Updated

Obviously, shit ain't gettin' no better. It's getting worse.
But it's not O-Asshole's fault, just ask him.

Step 1: Blame Bush. YES WE CAN!
Step 2: If step 1 fails, blame republican resistance to CHANGE!

Yeah, maybe bush was a moron. But like I said, shit ain't gettin' no better and democrats have had control of congress for how long now?

I've been seeing political ads for months already. The bulk of which is Harry Reid (D-umbshit NV) vs Sharon Angle - who is his republican competition. However, Labor Day weekend is pretty much the starting gun of the election season. They are indeed off and running. Pardon the pun.

I can hardly fucking wait. I'm guessing the 'Mute' button on the remote will be worn down to but a nub come November.

Update: I saw this 'toon on some random blog (sorry, I would give credit if I remembered where) and thought it most appropriate:

Rhetorical Headline

From Hotair.com: Will Washington shooting damage Huckabee bid?

Answer: Yes. In fact it will end his political career. Everyone makes mistakes but this one was a doosey. I though, until today, he had a real chance of being the next POTUS. He presents well, seems (or seemed) to have his head on straight, and has a pleasant persona but as of this morning he's just another ignorant politician.

Oh well.

McCain-Feingold

Hot Air has a piece today on McCain-Feingold taking another hit. One thing about the BCRA is that it is a very resilient piece of crap legislation having survived a premature trip to the Supreme Court. Now all that can be done is to pick it apart piece by piece -- which must be done for the sake of the country.

But one point I need to make is this: People don't forget their betrayers. Al least not within the span of their generation. McCain is seen unanimously by conservatives I know as betraying the very foundations of the Republic by infringing on free speech. I don't know what was going through my Senator's head when he worked on the this legislation. I can only hope he realizes that the reason he lost the election can be traced back to his arrogant disregard for the basic principles conservatives hold close to their hearts. Certainly, I would expect a veteran who spent time in a prison camp to never forget what he was fighting for.
