McCain Campaign Sells Blackberry — Forgets To Wipe Memory
Even in its now defunct state, the McCain campaign is continuing its pattern of incompetence and disorganization.
This From a local Fox affiliate:
Private information at bargain prices. It was a high-tech flub at the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters in Arlington when Fox 5’s Investigative Reporter Tisha Thompson bought a Blackberry device containing confidential campaign information.
…We saw laptops ranging between $400 and $600 with logins like “WARROOM08.” We couldn’t log on without a password, but staffers assured us the hard drive would be zapped before it was sold, and the computer would probably work.
The hottest item? Blackberry phones at $20 a piece. There were only 10 left. All of the batteries had died. There were no chargers for sale. But people were snatching them up. So, we bought a couple.
And ended up with a lot more than we bargained for.
When we charged them up in the newsroom, we found one of the $20 Blackberry phones contained more than 50 phone numbers for people connected with the McCain-Palin campaign, as well as hundreds of emails from early September until a few days after election night.
We traced the Blackberry back to a staffer who worked for “Citizens for McCain,” a group of democrats who threw their support behind the Republican nominee. The emails contain an insider’s look at how grassroots operations work, full of scheduling questions and rallying cries for support.
Asked to comment on the matter, McCain campaign officials said this:
“They should have wiped that stuff out,” another said. But he added, “Given the way the campaign was run, this is not a surprise.”
I don’t think I could have possibly summed it up any better than that.
Obama And McCain Promise To Work Together
President-Elect Obama and his defeated rival John McCain met today to discuss working together in the days and weeks to come.
President-elect Barack Obama and former rival Sen. John McCain, said Monday they will join forces in wrestling with the financial crisis and other challenges facing the nation.
“We hope to work together in the days and months ahead on critical challenges like solving our financial crisis, creating a new energy economy, and protecting our nation’s security,” the two said in a joint statement released after their meeting in Chicago.
It did make for a good photo-op at least.

Obama Supporters Offer Reconciliation?
Breitbart looks at the strange phenomenon of Obamaniacs reaching out allegedly to reconcile with the 48% of Americans who would not/could not/and never would vote for an untested, unvetted, Barack Obama.
Oddly enough, when Bush won in 2000, then won again in 2004, I don’t remember the left being so willing to reconcile. In fact, all I can remember are the last 8 years of the left doing everything in their power to destroy George W. Bush and render his presidency a failure.

Election 2008: The Ant & The Grasshopper
A fellow blogger emailed me this today:
The Ant & The Grasshopper
Two different versions — Two different morals
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself
——————————————-
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green’
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, President Obama approves the EEOC draft from the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed, from a list of single-parent welfare recipients when he was in office.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow .
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008

Shots Fired At McCain Bus, Media Ignores Story
If you depend on the mainstream media for information, you’re probably under the impression that McCain/Palin rallies are more like Klan rallies — but that’s a lie.
The supposed incident during a McCain/Palin rally last week where someone yelled “kill him” about Barack Obama — it never happened.
Unlike the perceived hate on the right, the hate on the left has been well documented over the last eight years. The viciousness of some Obama supporters is unrivaled in American political history.
The latest incident of hate took place on Sunday. Shots were fired at the McCain/Palin bus (The Straight Talk Express) shattering a window. The shooting occurred in southern New Mexico and the weapon used was identified as a .22 caliber rifle. Thankfully, neither candidate was on board at the time.
Can you f*cking imagine if someone shot at Obama’s bus? It would be wall to wall coverage right up to election day. The NY Times would decry McCain’s ‘hateful’ campaign, etc.
Since it was McCain’s bus that was shot at, you hear absolutely nothing.
The silence is deafening.

McCain Foolishly Stays Silent On Wright
The Politico is reporting today that the McCain campaign is still divided over whether to go after Obama over Rev. Wright. McCain’s advisers are pleading with him to do it, but he still refuses. His main concern is that Democrats will say he’s running a racist campaign and he wants to avoid that.
I wanna know where the hell John McCain has been these last few months, because the left is already saying that. Any criticism of The One is automatically labeled a ‘racist’ attack anyway so he really doesn’t have anything to lose.
It’s totally nuts not to use the single most potent weapon against Obama’s judgment there is in this world. Barry sat in that lunatic’s church for 20 years!!! That is a completely legitimate issue, and one that would be raised in a heartbeat if John McCain had been sitting in David Duke’s church for 20 years.
It’s not racist to point out that Barack Obama sat in a racist church for 20 years. Rev. Wright is the racist one in this equation, not John McCain.
Making Rev. Wright off limits is going to hand Barack Obama the White House on a silver platter.
Way to go John.

Message To McCain: Stand Up And Fight!
It is truly a painful experience to watch John McCain day after day give the same boring ass talking points. He just refuses to get emotional and really take it to Obama. People all across this country are outraged about what is happening in this country and how Obama has managed to benefit from it.
This is politics and for some reason John McCain thinks some things are supposed to be off the table. That’s total nonsense, you do whatever it takes to win — Obama damn sure will.
While it may seem trivial in the midst of our current economic woes, Barack Obama’s associations are an issue — a big one. Prior to running for President, Barack Obama surrounded himself with the most radical, left-wing kooks in this country.
If you’re a left-wing nut and live in the greater Chicago area chances are you’re friends with Barack Obama. John McCain refuses to talk about Rev. Wright, Bill Ayres, and Father Phleger. Even if you give him a pass on Ayres, you simply cannot give him a pass on Wright.
The biggest lie of this entire campaign is that Barack never heard Wright give the kind of incendiary sermons we saw on YouTube. That wasn’t the Rev. Wright that he knew! What a crock of shit, when you go back and look at Rev. Wright’s sermons over the last 10 years or so, 90% of them are filled with racist rhetoric and anti-American nonsense.
It’s a damn lie that Barack didn’t know anything about it. The issue is more that Barack is lying about it than what his pastor actually said.
The same thing goes for Bill Ayres. It’s disgusting that any American would even be in the same room with that Weatherman piece of sh*t and his terrorist wife. How could a person even shake hands with a man who did so much to damage America in the 60’s and 70’s. The only reason that thug isn’t doing life in prison instead of radicalizing students is because the wiretap evidence the FBI had on him was thrown out, because a judge said it was illegally obtained.
The man’s guilt was never in question and even today he happily admits his crimes and says he didn’t do enough. Barack Obama was hired by that animal and worked closely with him for years.
Many McCain supporters across the country are furious that John McCain is being such a pussy. He said at the convention, “Stand Up and Fight!” But for some reason John McCain isn’t ready to do that. With only 28 days left until the election, he’s running out of time.
It’s time to start gouging eyes out (rhetorically speaking) and taking the fight to Barry. It’s time to fight the ACORN thugs who are trying to steal the election. It’s time to name names and call out Chris Dodd and Barney Frank for destroying the economy. It’s time call out Barack Obama for his radical associations including Wright, Phleger, Ayres, and Rezko.
McCain supporters are becoming increasingly more agitated and angry as we get closer to election time, because they don’t think anyone except Sarah Palin is fighting for them.
It’s time to get in this thing John. It’s time to fight.
