Jon Stewart Shows the Warpublican Hypocrisy

Following up on the counter spin from yesterday, just look at the hypocrisy found by Jon Stewart with three typical Warpublican figureheads... people need to understand how absolutely political of a party they are- Sarah Palin was picked ONLY because she was a woman, period, no more thought involved. End of debate. They are for winning at all costs, including the costs to the nation.

Here's the awesome Stewart totally owning these Warpublicans...

Countering the Spin

Well, thankfully this week is over. Unfortunately, even a perfectly-timed (heaven sent?) national disaster in the form of a massive hurricane couldn't stop the Warpublican National Convention from proceeding forward, lining up rich out-of-touch white person after rich out-of-touch white person to utilize the greatest talent of the Warpublican party: spin. The "right"'s speeches were so full of spin I thought I was actually sitting on a Sit-and-Spin.

Thankfully, our nation has wisened after witnessing and experiencing the past 8 years of having Warpublican policies in place- never before have they had both the Presidency and the Congress (for the majority of the terms) and never before have we been so quickly set back as a nation. Smart people are here to fight the never-ending stream of lies, and so I do my part in helping get the message out.

Let's start with an official response
Don't waste time arguing with a Warpublican- they only have talking points from Rush Limberger- tell them to educate themselves with the facts
Now, let me address a few of the Warpublican talking points I keep hearing and set the record straight for those who get easily confused.

Warpublican Spin) We're "winning" the war in Iraq.

Truth) You. can. not. win. another. nation's. religious-based. civil. war. Yes, even when you brought it to a head. We did not start the war there despite our illegal invasion and occupation, and we won't be the ones to end it.

Warpublican Spin) The "surge" worked!

Truth) Anyone who has any common sense understands that if you bring in 20,000 troops, the "insurgents" (normally known as "Iraqis" to the rest of the world) will lay low until you remove the 20,000 troops. Guess what hasn't happened yet? We haven't pulled out of Iraq. We have to at some point. We will NEVER fix the issues there through military force, despite McCain wanting to stay 100 years. Guess what's going to happen when we do leave?

Boom. Doesn't matter if we leave the country spotless- as soon as we reduce our forces, the fighting will ramp up accordingly. Common sense.

Warpublican Spin) Sarah Palin was a Mayor! Obama was a Community Organizer! She is more experienced than he is!

Truth) Mayor of a town of 6,000, where your job entails such work constructs as "Sits in town meetings and may or may not participate, but can not vote" isn't highly impressive as far as things go. But Ms. Palin has never lived in Chicago like I have- perhaps if she had, she'd understand exactly how difficult a role it is to serve a MUCH larger population of people she did in getting them back on their feet. After all, Obama didn't have an energy company to help give those he was working with $4,000 per person like Palin did. Advantage in the Mayor vs. Community Organizer argument? Obama. If it had been in Podunk, Iowa with a population of 1,200 then it wouldn't be impressive. Chicago? Whole different ballpark than anything in Alaska.

Warpublican Spin) Governor is more important than a Senator.

Truth) Are you frikkin' kidding me? Basic government 101, kiddies: A governor runs a state. That's it. No more. In Palin's case, Alaska- with one of the nation's tiniest populations. A senator, such as Obama, makes the laws that govern our land AND serves as part of the system of checks and balances to the President AND serves on numerous committees that have world-wide impact.

Don't agree? Explain why the only person out of the four candidates who did NOT have security clearance for their first Secret Service intelligence report was Palin? Because governors have lower security than a senator.

So as good ole' President Bush would say, "edumacate yourself":
"Mayor < Governor < Congressman < Senator < Cabinet < V.P. < President"

It's quite simple to understand. Unless you're spinning like a record.


I could continue for days on end with the lies, falsehoods, incorrect statistics, made up facts, false science, forced morality, forced religion and other tactics the Warpublicans use, but frankly I don't have time or interest.

Anyone who's capable of thinking for themselves, and not relying on speaking points sprinkled with spin from "right"-wing radio is able to see who's in the right and who's in the wrong in this election. The entire world wants Obama elected. What does that tell you about how the world views the Warpublican party, and America, after the past eight years?

Oh, that's right- the Warpublicans don't care about the rest of the world's views. Just ruling it.
