I did a search for "John Cusack" but did not find anything so if this has been put out already, then i am sorry.

 Scathing commercial that really hits home!  Moveon.org needs your help getting this video playtime and i know as true progressive patriots some of you will be able to spare a dime to help get the ball rolling.

Well Jedreport gets credit for finding this out in the intertubes, but i figured i would try and get this some more exposure.  Republicans, yes the ones with the big "R", made this swiftboat style video.  I think jedreport says it was a Ron Paul supporter, and we can all be gracious to them for making this wonderfull right wing hit piece on McBush. I will embed it in the intro and discuss it after the fold....

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles, Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, wants the FBI transcripts from the interviews conducted with President Bush and Vice President Cheney about the CIA leak case, and is going to Attorney General Michael Mukasey to get them.

Read Rep. Waxman's letter to the Department of Justice here

That is straight from the Party website and i was surprised.  I hope we do not let this fall through the cracks and not get the attention it deserves.

 Yes i know it is a racial slur and i know the attitude around here is to avoid using those slurs, but context people, context.  I know that some of you will say i am repeating old news and you would be correct, i also know that if we do not come together and stop all the crap diaries (i am guilty too of crap diaries) about Hillary and all her memes then we are going to run out of time before November.  The fact of the matter is Barack is going to be our nominee. Even if we count FL & MI in full, he will still be the nominee, so the best thing we can do as good Democrats is focus all our efforts and resources towards John McCain.

 That is exactly why the title for this Diary.  John McCain said that about his captors in the article i linked you to, from the 2000 campaign.

Well since so many in the main stream are repeating the meme about the #2 spot on the ticket, i think we need to have a collective of her greatest hits..... like this...

We are now on the verge of something special.  We are about to have one of our candidates reach a majority of pledged delegates.  We are about to have one candidate that has ran a campaign based on changing the way the game was played, yet you sit on the sidelines and meme about sounding arrogant?  Oh you unpledged supers, you are the no backbone scared shitless wimps that are the poster children for birth control.

I want you to think about this long and hard. I want you to think about John McCain.  I want you to think about the free ride McCain gets with each and every day that you sit on the fence.  Take a look at this video (below the jump) and see that the press WANTS to report on McCain making blunders, but as long as you allow Sen Clinton to meme about the popular vote and about other non issues (read declaring victory) you are an enabler.

Hypocrisy on Hamas
McCain Was for Talking Before He Was Against It

By James P. Rubin
Friday, May 16, 2008; Page A19

If the recent exchanges between President Bush, Barack Obama and John McCain on Hamas and terrorism are a preview of the general election, we are in for an ugly six months. Despite his reputation in the media as a charming maverick, McCain has shown that he is also happy to use Nixon-style dirty campaign tactics. By charging recently that Hamas is rooting for an Obama victory, McCain tried to use guilt by association to suggest that Obama is weak on national security and won't stand up to terrorist organizations, or that, as Richard Nixon might have put it, Obama is soft on Israel.

and the straw that broke the camel's back is this graph

McCain, meanwhile, is guilty of hypocrisy.

 The MSM is waaay too biased for Barack Obama! They keep telling Hillary the facts, and the math, and the rules.  How sexist of them!  The MSM does not tell Barack the facts.  They do not tell him that Bill Clinton only carried 37% of white voters when he won president!  They don't tell Barack that Hillary was for the rules until we found out that without breaking the rules we could not be president!

Speaking of which they know you have to break a few eggs to make an omlet!  Heck they don't tell Barack Obama the math that 75% of Americans believe that a goat, as long as it is a democrat, would beat John McOldguy! BAH! I am sick of the Msm being so damn bias!

  Ok, ok i admitt it is something you can not do right now, at this moment, unless you are in the checkout line reading this on your blackberry.  I have came up with a plan so simple, so easy, so stunningly obtuse that EVERYONE can participate in to help Obama win in November.  All it will take from you is 9 letters from the alphabet, and about 5 seconds (depending on how fast you write) to do.  I will not make you wait till after the jump to reveal it, but after the jump will be the explaination to back up my thesis.

  Oh what 9 letters you will need?  Simple V-O-T-E O-B-A-M-A!  Yes it is that simple, but why and where should you use those 9 letters?  Well somewhere that will see multiple people, common people, working people, business people, bankers, tellers, and even the IRS. (in some cases)

peeked your interest?  make the Jump!

Ok ok before you lambast me for tuning in fixed news, I need to make a disclaimer - You can not learn what the Right is pimping until you check it out.  Yes Olbermann does a great job with worst in the world but, with the focus turning to McBush we need to see what the toxic avengers are plotting.  

The replay came on at 11pm CST and i liteally almost gagged by the amount of bullshit you have to endure.  Out right lies, and Colmes the sycophant that he is just lets them talk over him and push him around.  He must have been lobotomized to take this job.

  What's Better horse, cow, or chicken manure?  My wife, who used to be married to a big time cotton farmer, says that "gin dirt" is the best fertilizer.  Gin Dirt is from the cotton seed husks left over after ginning the cotton (she says). So anyway have at it and lets get Organic Gardening Open thread planted :)

The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Many circumstances hath, and will arise, which are not local, but universal, and through which the principles of all Lovers of Mankind are affected, and in the Event of which, their Affections are interested. The laying of a Country desolate with Fire and Sword, declaring War against the natural rights of all Mankind, and extirpating the Defenders thereof from the Face of the Earth, is the Concern of every Man to whom Nature hath given the Power of feeling; of which Class, regardless of Party Censures, is the

 If you are looking for concern troll or happy go lucky diaries, you have came to the wrong place at the wrong time.  Tonight i will delve into the minds of our founders to find out just what it was that they were thinking, and try and extrapolate what they would have felt of our present circumstances in this nation that they brought forth.

Glen Beck is on CNN Headline news at 9/8 central time.  Prime time for manufacturing companies that have Televisions in their break rooms, hospitals and every other place you find TV's in public places. Glen Beckerhead plans to do a special on MONDAY NIGHT on how Rev Wright issue will dominate the primary on Tuesday.  Please it is time to move on and we need to let CNN know that giving a whole damn hour in primetime to this issue is not something we want or will support.

Let CNN know that we are monitoring their race baiting tactics and we will not stand for it.  Email them at CNN FEEDBACK and let them know wtf we think about this attempt to inject Rev Wright back into yet another news cycle hours before people go vote.  It is race baiting at its worst. At its best it is identity politics trying to conflate Rev Wright with Obama.

 Well it is a cult classic, but it has been years since i was in college so i really do not know if anyone remembers Monty Python.  You may know John Cleese, but the rest of the troop you probably do not know.  The movie Montey Python and the Holy Grail is quite possibly their Opus, but to me i think of the current political situation when i watch it.

1984 a book by George Orwell, is your homework assignment for today. Sure you may have read the book, or you might have watched the movie, but do you see or even understand the implications which are becoming more and more true?

 Today, i went and coached a 9-10 year old ball game.  Today, i went to work and put in 8 hours.  Today, when i got home i kissed my 3 year old son on the forehead and told him i loved him.  Today was a good day for me.

 Today, the News Media coverage was all about politics.  Today, more Americans probably died in Iraq in a needless war.  Today, Osama Bin Laden probably ate well, while some families will never eat together again because of his actions.  Today, American Axle employees are still on strike, drawing $150 dollars a week, and gas to get to the picket lines is $3.50 a gallon.  Today, more of the polar ice caps melted and somewhere a republican probably called it "junk Science".  Today, somewhere in a country with friendly ties to the United States someone was probably renditioned there to be tortured, with the approval of the top officials in this Administration. Today was not so good a day for America.

 Well boys and girls i just finished going through the transcript of last nights Larry King live and will wonders never cease?  Ronald Reagan Jr. is for Obama!  I was floored with his defense of Obama and his taking it to Clinton surrogate Lanny Davis.  Lanny Davis was also recently on the Faux News show Hannity's America and you can expect to see the Fox News Commercial of yet another Clinton Surrogate promoting the "vast right wing conspiracy" channel.

 As i sit here at 12:57 AM in Alabama i am confused.  I am confused as to what happened.  I felt deep in my heart that you would outright win PA and put this sad excuse for a primary to bed. I have endured the uncivil war, in this great party of ours, for one too many days it seems. I can not endure yet more Clinton attack ads for another minute. I can not listen to my friends ask questions which have been asked before, but 4 years earlier.
