Evilbore's Official Political\Media Crap Thread
« on: November 06, 2008, 12:13:57 PM »
I really enjoyed the election threads, so I am started a brand new general purpose thread; much like the anime thread.

FIRST ORDER OF THE DAY, Lieberman. BOO HISS. Actually I dont give a fuck much bout him but im tired of his shit eating grin.

SECOND ORDER OF THE DAY, Should I donate to Romney's campaign to help ensure Palin stays out of 2012?

THIRD ORDER OF THE DAY, What do you want to happen to the Republican party. I personally am all for a rally behind someone like Powell. I cant believe anyone wants to rally behind a woman who thought Africa was a country.

Lolberman's about to reap the whirlwind yeahhh

I would donate to Palin, I would love for Obama to run against her in 2012.

I want the Republican party to basically purge the theocons into an irrelevant Dixiecrat party and to reform around actual principles of small government and fiscal responsibility. If they could stick to those principles without all the gay-bashing, abortion-banning, and science-hating, I'd give 'em a serious look. But as long as they run on moral issues, they're gonna lose my immoral vote. :P

I dont even like the idea of Palin making it past the primaries. But to be honest with myself, there is no way Romney can pull a nomination from the primaries over her. The racist base luvs her uneducated ways.

I definitely agree.  Hopefully, the GOP starts examining how they have been running elections and defining their platform in the past 12 years.  Their gap amongst the youth vote was embarrasing, showing how out of touch they are with issues people care about. 

I don't want to restrict the rights of the gay community.

I don't want to ignore science and technology.

I don't care for mixing church and state.

I don't care for pursuing tax cuts for the rich, when our deficits are ballooning daily while fighting two wars.

I don't care for running elections on homophobia, jingoism, and fear.

Yet, they keep on harping the most irrelevant of issues for our demographic.  I've always been a fiscal conservative, but the neocons through that out that window.

Lugar already shot it down.  I don't see Hagel getting a position; to be honest, I would rather have someone left of center occupying Defense and State.  Maybe Hagel could be Secretary of Veterans Affairs?  I dunno.  Colin Powell has also been spoken of as a potential Secretary of Education, an area that he and his wife have done a lot of charity work for.

NC goes blue.  Fuck yeah Frag, we did it.

Merkley beats Gordo for the Oregon Senate seat.  That's 55 Dem, 2 Ind, 40 GOP and 3 undecided.  From everything I've been able to take in, I believe that Begich should win in Alaska when everything's been counted- there's lots of uncounted ballots still.  Minnesota is anyone's guess.  Georgia is going to a run-off and if my old friends stay mobilized down there that can be won- it's all gonna come down to who wants it more and who can motivate people to get out the polls on December 2nd.  There IS a precedent for this thing- in 1992, incumbent Dem Senator Wyche Fowler got 49.2% to Paul Coverdell's 47.7% in the general but Coverdell won the runoff by a razor thin margin- 50.6% of the vote.  Martin can still win.

As for Lieberman, he should lose his chairmanships and just be an unimportant backbencher.  Don't kick him out of the caucus, but he not only broke his word that he wouldn't go negative on Obama, he ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNED for Republican Senate candidates.  That's after he got primaried in 2006 and the Democratic power structure not only refused to endorse Lamont, but ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNED FOR LIEBERMAN.  Including some guy named Barack Obama.  So fuck Lieberman, he should lose his chairmanships and if he wants to be so butt hurt over it to go and caucus with the Republicans, go right ahead bitch.

We're gonna need to donate more, probably.  I'm thinking about spending a couple weeks down there doing GOTV.

More news, from the "Republicans break out the long knives" file:  GOP Minority Whip Roy Blunt steps down.  He was going to be challenged by noted prick and uber conservative dork Eric Cantor of VA.  Supposedly Mike Pence of Indiana could be mulling a power play too.  I bet Shadegg makes a play for Minority Leader, too.  That's the problem with losing your more moderate members for two cycles- the wingnuts become a majority.  Have fun in the wilderness, boys.

I believe that we should create a program called to protect this endangered species known as Republicans.

After all, the government protects wild animals. Why not wilde homos?

Using public land in Alaska and Kansas, we'll create small reserves for Republicans to live on. There they can roam free on a frontier, their naive and childish beliefs protected from the harshness of reality. Believing themselves to be pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps, these Republicans would be unaware that we are actually tranquilizing, tagging, and medicating them to keep them alive, and using artificial landscapes to prevent conflict. Though they would unwittingly be what they hate most (moochers living off of socialist government programs and money), it will be a fair trade to keep them out of politics.


Proposed names:

Upholding, Safeguarding, and Securing Republicans
Conservative Conservation Camp Program
Defended Preserve of Republicans in Kansas
Neocon Viability Administration
Preservation of Republicans Committee
Klondike Gulag Board

The future of the Republican Party:

Reeling in from the shock of the big loss on Tuesday, the GOP will begin wondering what it can do to salvage the party.  Most of the big GOP stars like Reagan, Helms, Gingrich, DeLay, Dole, Frist, etc. are either dead, retired, or disgraced from ever returning to office.  Their talent pool has shrunken considerably and now there is no leadership to whip up a frenzy in the party.

That will begin the fight between the Neocons, led by Romney and Giuliani and the Theocons, led by Palin and Jindal.  Both will believe that the party didn't move far enough to the right.  Both factions will fight to see who rules.  We'll see a breakdown of the frail leadership left as they try to outfund and outmaneuver their rival factions.

Palin will go on the media circuit, maybe have a book ghostwritten for her, and try to smooth out the edges of her persona.  They like how she can rejuvenate her base without making them feel bad but her lack of experience is :-\  Being funded by grass roots fundies, she will get expert advice from Republicans who know a couple things about foreign policy to tutor her.  She's confidently stupid but even she knows that she's going to have to at least pretend to know what the fuck is going on.  In the meantime, Mitt will try to raise as much money as possible to intimidate Palin from running in 2012.  In the meantime, Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani express their dissatisfaction with Obama and that the GOP party is neither down or out and will make a lot of gains in 2010.

After a loss of more Senate and House seats in 2010, the GOP will put the future of their party in 2012.  Palin and Romney will be in a dead heat with Giuliani and Thompson far behind.  Palin will soon overcome as the evangelical base rallies around her.  Bobby Jindal holds back but intends to be an integral part of Palin's cabinet.  Obama's approval rating begins to slide as he is not a miracle maker and the economic and defense situation isn't to the exact liking of Americans.  As the chinks in his armor begin to show, the GOP rallies around Palin and intends to exploit those few flaws to win in 2012.  The future of the party depends on it.

Palin handily wins the 2012 primaries and has Romney or Giuliani as the VP.  Called the GOP's Last Hope, Palin goes back to her 2008 mode and whips up racial tension.  Without McCain's staff to reign her in, she oversteps the boundaries too far and loses a lot of her initial momentum as she ignores the huge problem she is creating.  Rudy will try to fix things but finding that he can't really muzzle her like McCain could, the GOP immediately begins to crumble.  Obama and Biden bring up the GOP's failed past and its insistence on using failed Republicans to win the White House.  Palin ignores these attacks and keeps bringing up racial tensions and "You betcha" catchphrases to circle the wagons.  Only as time goes on, there is less and less wagons for circling.  Palin remains oblivious and Giuliani begins stressing out at the inevitable demise and begins to make gaffes of his own.  At this point, Obama and Biden are 20 points ahead in many polls and is poised to get 2008 plus Arizona, Georgia, North Dakota, Missouri, and Montana.

For the election, Obama/Biden gets over 400 EVs while Palin/Giuliani gets 130 or less.  The GOP makes modest gains in the House and maybe a seat or two in the Senate.

Rush Limbaugh retires, claiming that the GOP just won't listen to him, and several of the right wing pundits no longer support them.  The remaining GOP members, even the wingnuts, realize the party is fucked.  Palin is booted and disgraced.  She loses her next term (whether it be Senator or Governor) and writes her off as a dark chapter in the GOP history.  Giuliani retires from politics again.  McCain will die around this election and before he does die, he will make several criticisms about Palin.  The conservative powers that be realize that they are so far out of touch that they absolutely cannot afford to throw away 2016.  They immediately being reforming and moving to the center, embracing issues that minorities can relate to and what working class people really want, besides hatred.  Their movement towards the center draws criticism but considerable gains in the 2014 midterms.

Lieberman is a dumb shit and the Democrats won't forget the backstab.  They might want him to be around in case a supermajority might be needed but once they have it without him, they will kick his ass out of it.  He will act dumbfounded and shocked that the Democrats had the gall to betray him.

Anyone who wants Obama to win by a larger margin needs to make sure Palin does as well as possible.  Palin won't have McCain there to clean up after her so she will keep fucking up without anyone doing damage control.

I think Palin is going to be adopted by the people who shaped Bush in 00/04, maybe even Rove himself. As I said yesterday she remains the perfect trojan horse for conservative extremism, just as I'm sure many conservatives see Obama as the perfect trojan horse for liberal extremism. Four years is plenty of time to reshape someone's image and arguments over her qualifications will be void.

Despite that there is a faction of the party which recognizes she's a disaster and will fight tooth and nail to defeat her. If Jindal was 10 years older he'd probably be their man, but it seems like Romney will get that support instead. Maybe Thune or Ginrich. Anyway like T EXP said Romney is going to have the financial backing and he'll raise a shit ton of money. I'm just not convinced regular republican folks in Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire are going to positively respond to his mechanical salesperson persona. Plus he's a god damn Mormon (if he was Christian he would have done far better than McCain on tuesday, but still would have lost). Palin will no doubt have the grassroots support needed to sweep through caucuses...

Yet I can't help but think many republicans realize Palin isn't the answer. She'll be an early front runner but as the larger primaries come up I think she'll begin to fade. The 2008 primaries ended pretty fast, I think things will play out longer in 2012. And the longer things play out the worse Palin's chances are considering the larger states will probably cater to Romney.

The party 'elites' have decided to throw her under the bus. She won't be running in 2012. Apparently if I read the articles right there will be more to come.

I think after this the GOP realises the need for new blood but just the right kind.

I said it from the start, John McCain should have picked the black, Southern Baptist, college football legend with 8 years of experience in the House and 4 years on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission but noooo he had to go with the air-headed governor from nowhere.

I really hope that Palin doesn't get the nomination in 2012.

We're all just speculating here.  Palin could either go up or get disgraced.

A lot of what will go down from 2009-2011 will determine who will get nominated.

No Reagan-like figures in the GOP currently so I'm fairly confident that whoever will be nominated will get crushed by the Democrats in 2012 unless Obama really, really fucks up.

Eh, I don't care too much about that, but I really want Watts or someone of his caliber to come onto the scenes. McCain came off as old and stodgy and Palin as air-headed and inexperienced; at least Watts has a little charisma and a little experience instead of just one or the other.

Or the rest of the Reps could wise up and vote Ron Paul in 2012.

wow i think you guys are way too optimistic in what you expect for the future Reps in tehc oming elections, esp. you , T EXPl.

Palin will fade away slowly, and Romney or guiliani [the older guard] or the newer fresher blood Reps will take over.  I think the Reps may realize sooner than later that they will head for the center [at least outwardly...maybe not so much in their ranks' composition].  I think obama will disapoint alot fo people, simply for the huge fuckedup ness of bush's remaining turdjob.  So, reps will see some gains by 2010.

Oh boy, redstate doesn't disappoint.  I was kind of let down by the Corner at NRO; for the most part they seem to get it that they're fucked and need to figure out a new way forward.  Well, except for K-Lo.  You can always count on her to be insanely wrong.

I think Palin is done.  The Republicans are in a similar position to the Democrats of 2000 or 2004.  Pay attention to the news narrative in the next year.  If Palin stays active in a mostly positive manner, the "REPUBLICANS WEREN'T FAR ENOUGH RIGHT" have won the civil war of the party.  If Palin becomes a non-entity, well, hopefully the non-religious side of the party is taking back the reigns.

If Republican leaders are smart, they will shitcan the "go further right" angle, since Mexicans and african americans are only going to become more common.  The mainstream Republican party needs to embrace at least a lil bit of social progressiveness if it wants to remain feasible.

manuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal
New Obama Chief of Staff, Others on Board, Missed "Red Flags" of Alleged Fraud Scheme
By BRIAN ROSS and RHONDA SCHWARTZ

November 7, 2008—

President-elect Barack Obama's newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot "red flags," according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com.

According to a complaint later filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Freddie Mac, known formally as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002.

Emanuel was not named in the SEC complaint (click here to read) but the entire board was later accused by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) (click here to read) of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention."

In a statement to ABCNews.com, a spokesperson said Emanuel served on the board for "13 months-a relatively short period of time."

The spokesperson said that while on the board, Emanuel "believed that Freddie Mac needed to address concerns raised by Congressional critics."

Freddie Mac agreed to pay a $50 million penalty in 2007 to settle the SEC complaint and four top executives of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation were charged with negligent conduct and, like the company, agreed to settle the case without admitting or denying the allegations.

The actions by Freddie Mac are cited by some economists as the beginning of the country's economic meltdown.

The federal government this year was forced to take over Freddie Mac and a sister federal mortgage agency, Fannie Mae, pledging at least $200 billion in public funds.

Freddie Mac records have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of its investigation of the suspect accounting procedures.

Emanuel was named to the Freddie Mac board by President Bill Clinton in 2000 and resigned his position when he ran for Congress in May, 2001.

Freddie Mac Misrepresented Income, Says SEC

During the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, according to the SEC, Freddie Mac substantially misrepresented its income to "present investors with the image of a company that would continue to generate predictable and growing earnings."

The role of the 18-member board of directors, including Emanuel, was not addressed in the SEC's public action but was heavily criticized by the oversight group (OFHEO) in 2003.

The oversight report said the board had been apprised of the suspect accounting tactics but "failed to make reasonable inquiries of management."

The report also said board members appointed by the President, such as Emanuel, serve terms that are far too short "for them to play a meaningful role on the Board."

As a Congressman, Emanuel recused himself from any votes dealing with Freddie Mac until just this year.

In dealing with the nation's economic crisis, the new White House chief of staff will almost certainly be involved in discussions about the house and mortgage markets.

Emanuel's spokesperson said, "As White House chief of staff he will work with President-elect Obama and his economic advisers to help ensure we protect taxpayers and homeowners."

Who do they have to lead if they will move back to the center?

The House Minority Leader is now being contested by right wing extremists like Eric Cantor.
