Sunday Scroll #85 - Certified American Edition

Bush casts his ballot for a third term
The AP reports that the President and First Lady Laura Bush took advantage of Texas’s early voting procedures and cast their ballots for the McCain-Palin ticket.

Fact Check: Born in the U.S.A
In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake." We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.
[The Barack Obama fake birth certificate hoax was debunked months ago but fascist assholes like Pigboy Limbaugh, Mike Savage and Jerome Corsi just can't help themselves. Their sheep don't want the truth anyway.]

'Annenberg' you say?
Walter Annenberg - Founder of TV Guide, billionaire publisher, Nixon ambassador and the man who gave Ronald Reagan a $3 million, 7,100 square foot home in Bel Air, California as a 'gift' when he left office in 1989. "Annenberg continued to report to work daily at his office until 1999, when he was 91 years old." Annenberg died at the age of 94 in 2002. Barack Obama served as chairman of the board of the 'Chicago Annenberg Challenge' from 1995 to 1999. It's ridiculous to think an organization being funded by a very active conservative would be turned over to a bunch of terrorist sympathizers hell bent on destroying America.]

That's a lotta lipstick!
Palin Drops $32,800 for Makeup Artist in Two Weeks
Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's traveling makeup artist was the highest paid individual in John McCain's campaign over the first two weeks of October. Amy Strozzi was paid $22,800 for her work as Palin's makeup artist for the first half of October, according to documents filed Thursday by the McCain campaign with the Federal Election Commission. Palin's traveling hair stylist Angela Lew, the fourth highest paid individual during that time, was paid $10,000 over two weeks in October for what the campaign called "communications consulting."

I love Pennsylvania
The McCain campaign has "virtually surrendered 21 electoral votes in New Mexico, Colorado and Iowa that were won by Bush, there's no Kerry state he's winning, and Bush won by 16 electoral votes," said Pennsylvania pollster G. Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College. "A third-grader can figure this out. They've decided that it's 21 electoral votes in PA or it's over."


No wonder they're such losers!
Hardball's 'big number'
'1928' from 10/22/08
"You have got to go back to 1928 to find a year the Republicans won the White House without a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket".
[And, who did the Republicans give us in 1928? Herbert C. Hoover! Stop! Don't vote for another Hoover. Just as Hoover did before the first Great Republican Depression when he cut taxes from 73% to 24%, John McSame has similar plans to explode the federal debt even more drastically than George W. Bush.]

Get your stupid ass on the bus!
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (CNN) – With 10 days to go until election day, long brewing tension between Sarah Palin and key aides to John McCain has become so intense, it is spilling out into the public. Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin “going rogue” recently, while a Palin associate says she is simply trying to “bust free” of what she believes was a mishandled roll-out that damaged her. McCain sources point to several incidents where Palin has gone off message, and privately wonder if they were deliberate.
['Country first', my ass! More like, every man and woman for themselves...]

It's over!
Come on, Opie, Andy Griffith and the Fonz!!???!. How can McCain compete with that?


It must be genetic
Early this week, Sen. John McCain's brother Joe, while in Alexandria, VA, called 911 because he was irritated with traffic. When the operator asked him if he was really calling the emergency line to complain about highway conditions, Joe McCain responded, "Fuck you" and hung up. When the emergency operator called back, she was greeted with, "Hi this is Joe McCain. I can't take this message now because I'm involved in a very (inaudible) important political project... I hope on Nov. 4th we have elected John."
[Looks like being a prick runs in the family.]

Dumber than a fucking rock
"[The Vice-President] is in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes," she said.
[Hey dumbass, Article 1 Section 3, read it.]

The only way they can win
Suppressing the vote has long been a cornerstone of the GOP's electoral strategy. Shortly before the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, Paul Weyrich — a principal architect of today's Republican Party — scolded evangelicals who believed in democracy. "Many of our Christians have what I call the 'goo goo' syndrome — good government," said Weyrich, who co-founded Moral Majority with Jerry Falwell. "They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. . . . As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." Today, Weyrich's vision has become a national reality.
[Suppress the vote. Deny as many people as possible. When more people vote, democracy wins and Republicans lose.]

If he does it, just remember why
"Because in 2004, bin Laden did try to influence the US election. Whether or not he succeeded, who knows? But he issued a video tape on Halloween, a few days before the election, that implied that he supported Senator Kerry. "He knew, that if he seemed to be supporting Senator Kerry, that would help President Bush. And it did."
[Richard Clarke, the man who on day five of Bush 43's reign of terror begged Condoleezza Rice and Stephen Hadley to concentrate our intelligence on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda only to be totally ignored, thinks bin Laden may endorse the Republican again.]

Pay up Princess!
I (Jake Tapper) just got off the phone with a well-respected and well-known tax attorney who doesn't want to be identified. I asked him earlier in the day whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin can avoid paying taxes on the $150,000 worth of clothes the RNC bought her, as she and the RNC maintain. (They said the RNC now owns the clothes; she's just borrowing them.) He said that, after consulting with a number of experts at his prominent firm, he thinks the RNC and Gov. Palin are wrong. "It's probably not a 'gift,'" he said. "The issue is whether it counts as 'income.'"
[Are people dumb enough to think you can take a $150,000 gift and not pay tax on it? You know, if we could get tax cheats like Sarah Palin and corporations to pay their taxes there wouldn't be a need to raise taxes.]
Sucked right out of the ground
IN THE MARSH OF CAMERON PARISH, Louisiana (AP) -- Joe Johnson craned his neck from the airboat as it circled a patch of brown marsh grass. The runaway coffin was not where it was supposed to be. Johnson pulled up to a pile of rocks, killed the motor and hopped out. After a few minutes of scouring along the tall, reedlike grass, he flagged down two fishermen. "Can you possibly take me along the shoreline?" Johnson asked. "I'm looking for a casket."

Obama hanged in effigy
Topped off with a Star of David
They hate him for being a Muslim. They hate him for being a Jew. After a while, all the hate coming from the Republican party starts to look and feel and sound the same. How interesting that the self-admitted racist, who also appears to be an anti-Semite, parroted John McCain's message about media bias. ... Then again, John McCain and Sarah Palin have a very troubling record of ties to anti-Semitism.

Josephine the Plumber
... How could it not be, ladies and gentlemen ... Ashley Todd, the 'Young College Republican', ultra-committed McCain campaign volunteer and evidently, a whole lot fucking crazy, tried her damnest this week to give her man John McCain a boost with her bizarre, and completely made up lie of being robbed, raped and carved up by a big, bad Black guy.
