Xenophon, that brave scholar and soldier, disallowed the Athenian commonweal for that they followed that form of government wherein the wicked are always in greatest credit, and virtuous men kept under. They expelled Aristides the Just; Themistocles died in banishment; Miltiades in prison; Phocion, the most virtuous and just man of his age, though he had been chosen forty-five times to be their general, yet he was put to death with all his friends, kindred, and servants, by the fury of the people, without sentence, accusation, or any cause at all.</blockquote><br />

No substance in the debate. Listening to it McCain sounded defeated. The exchange about the John Lewis smear was particularly pathetic. McCain was <em>needy</em>, he wanted Obama and Lewis to <em>approve of him, </em>and he’s hurt and confused they don’t. Obama sounded smug, at times not able to fully suppress a nasty quality.C.

Both candidates promise to replace oil with ‘alternative energy’. What a terrific idea. Why has no one thought of it before? The solution has been there all along. Rapple dapple! It’s replaced, baby! How you like us now, Mussulmen? We done dumped your oil for our greeny alterno-power.<br />

Palin, the Alaska governor who was tapped last week by Sen. John McCain to be his vice-presidential running mate, met for 45 minutes Tuesday in the Minneapolis area with several leaders of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Also in attendance at the AIPAC meeting was U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), the McCain campaign’s most prominent Jewish backer.<br />
<br />
McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb said Palin spoke about “the relationship between Israel and American national security, and the threats to Israel from Iran and others.”<br />
<br />
“She was extremely well received,” Goldfarb said, noting that Palin was interrupted by applause twice.<br />
<br />
AIPAC also praised the meeting.</blockquote> - <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/110192.html">Palin meets with AIPAC leaders</a>.C.

Joe Lieberman follows, urging Americans to increase the amount of fiber in their diets, “So you don’t end up like me,” he warns, then he talks about the burden of being a sad-faced muppet. The crowd responds tepidly.<br />

Next Sarah Palin makes surprise appearance, to wild applause and cheering. Announces daughter Willow is pregnant too, causing even wilder applause and cheering.

<br />
Phyllis Schlafly once said: “The flight from the home is a flight from yourself, from responsibility, from the nature of woman, in pursuit of false hopes and fading illusions.” Today’s ‘conservatives’ not only don’t realize she was right, they don’t realize they’ve adopted the “pursuit of false hopes and fading illusions” as a central tenet.C.

<br />
“Now, I don't believe that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans. I just think he doesn't know… It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it.”<br />
<br />
Of course McCain doesn’t know or get it, he’s a doddering old man. I find Obama’s ageism deeply offensive.<br />
<br />
“For over two decades, he's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. No health care? The market will fix it. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps even if you don't have boots. You're on your own.”<br />
<br />
The Republicans’ eliminated the welfare state? Really? I’ve been drunk for over two decades, but still, you think I would have noticed that.<br />
<br />
“Ours is a promise that says government cannot solve all our problems, but what it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves; protect us from harm and provide every child a decent education; keep our water clean and our toys safe.”<br />
<br />
Hence the Toys Clause of the United States Constitution.<br />
<br />
“You don't protect Israel and deter Iran just by talking tough in Washington. You can't truly stand up for Georgia when you've strained our oldest alliances.”<br />
<br />
Here I thought protecting Israel, bombing Iran, and going to war over Georgia were McCain’s deal. Moving to the center!<br />
<br />
“John McCain likes to say that he'll follow bin Laden to the Gates of Hell but he won't even go to the cave where he lives.”<br />
<br />
Have Obama’s Mussulman friends told him where Osama is? Is he saying he will invade Pakistan?<br />
<br />
“I've got news for you, John McCain. We all put our country first.”<br />
<br />
I guess he wasn’t paying attention when he <a href="http://www.amconmag.com/issue/2008/jun/30/">attended the AIPAC convention</a>.<br />
<br />
“We may not agree on abortion, but surely we can agree on reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country.”<br />
<br />
We may not agree on women’s team handball, but I find it mildly entertaining. <br />
<br />
“The reality of gun ownership may be different for hunters in rural Ohio than for those plagued by gang-violence in Cleveland, but don't tell me we can't uphold the Second Amendment while keeping AK-47s out of the hands of criminals.”<br />
<br />
As an advocate of putting AK-47’s in the hands of Cleveland’s criminals I find this deeply offensive.<br />
<br />
“Passions fly on immigration, but I don't know anyone who benefits when a mother is separated from her infant child or an employer undercuts American wages by hiring illegal workers.”<br />
<br />
He doesn’t pull any punches, does he? Not to nitpick, but in the latter example the employer benefits. <br />
<br />
“I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don't fit the typical pedigree, and I haven't spent my career in the halls of Washington.”<br />
<br />
What career? Failing as a ‘community organizer’ and getting appointed to some board <a href="http://globallabor.blogspot.com/2008/06/that-guy-who-lives-in-my-neighborhood.html">by your terrorist friend</a> isn’t a career.<br />
<br />
“But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the nay-sayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me. It's been about you.<br />
<br />
For eighteen long months, you have stood up, one by one, and said enough to the politics of the past. You understand that in this election, the greatest risk we can take is to try the same old politics with the same old players and expect a different result. You have shown what history teaches us that at defining moments like this one, the change we need doesn't come from Washington. Change comes to Washington. Change happens because the American people demand it because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time.”<br />
<br />
<em>Your people, sir—your people is a great beast</em>. – Alexander Hamilton.<br />
<br />
“It is that American spirit that American promise that pushes us forward even when the path is uncertain; that binds us together in spite of our differences; that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen, that better place around the bend.<br />
<br />
That promise is our greatest inheritance. It's a promise I make to my daughters when I tuck them in at night, and a promise that you make to yours a promise that has led immigrants to cross oceans and pioneers to travel west; a promise that led workers to picket lines, and women to reach for the ballot.”<br />
<br />
For you see, our inheritance isn’t America herself, for she is mostly the creation of evil white men. Only by doing good for the non-white, the non-men, and the non-Americans can some day America truly be a “better place”. A good step down this hard road is electing you know who.<br />
<br />
“And it is that promise that forty five years ago today, brought Americans from every corner of this land to stand together on a Mall in Washington, before Lincoln's Memorial, and hear a young preacher from Georgia speak of his dream.”<br />
<br />
I’m tired of hearing about “The Dream”. I’m tired of hearing MLK intone “Thank God Almighty!” I’m tired of hearing BO’s alien name. I’m tired.<br />
<br />
“They could've been told to succumb to the fear and frustration of so many dreams deferred.”<br />
<br />
Like raisins in the bran.<br />
<br />
“America, we cannot turn back.”<br />
<br />
Why not?<br />
<br />
“Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for.”<br />
<br />
Not with Tiny Tim out there with no Christmas goose.<br />
<br />
“Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America. Now I’m going to put on these wings I built and fly out of here, sort of like a big brown Brewster McCloud. Thank You.”<br />

Alas, neither boring candidate turned the tables and asked <a href="http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/wp-content/assets/19/91/picture1.jpg">the corpulent preacherman</a> when gluttony stopped being a sin, but there were a few interesting moments.<br />
<br />
Asked about Supreme Court Justices, Obama <a href="http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2008/08/17/who-and-what-is-barack-hussein-obamabarry-soetero-to-what-nations-is-he-loyal">Barry Soetero</a> said he “Would not have appointed Clarence Thomas because Thomas wasn't ready at the time.” Amazingly, the audience didn’t burst into laughter.<br />
<br />
The candidates were asked to name the “three wisest people they would consult as president”. McCain named General David Petraeus, architect of 'The Surge' in Iraq; CEO of eBay Meg Whitman, architect of the swap meet on your Aunt Gladys’s computer; and Rep. John Lewis, black liberal Democrat and Obama supporter. Amazingly, the audience didn’t burst into laughter.<br />
<br />
Obama said the three people he would consult were his grandmamma, though it wasn’t clear if meant the <a href="http://isteve.blogspot.com/2008/03/obama-throws-his-own-living-grannie.html">American one he threw under the bus</a> for being ‘racist’ or <a href="http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080207/NEWS01/106040001/-1/SPECIALOBAMA08">the Kenyan one who still works in the fields at age 86</a> while The Obama flies around in a jet; his wife, a resentful affirmative action queen; and Sam Nunn and Dick Lugar, who Obama seems to believe are only one person – and he may be right.<br />
<br />
If I were President my three “wisepersons” would be:<br />

There are three demographic variables that explain almost all of the voters in the primary—gender, party, and income. <strong>Race is a factor as well, but we are fighting hard to neutralize it</strong>.”</blockquote> – from a <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200809/hillary-clinton-campaign/2">March 2007 internal memo</a> titled “Overall Strategy for Winning”, written by Mark Penn, Chief Strategist of the Hillary Clinton Campaign [emphasis added]. <br />
<br />
<blockquote>“Much of [Clinton's] bungled strategy was the consequence of stereotypes. <strong>She and her brain trust assumed she would win at least some of the black vote</strong>; thinking blacks might put race first is not a thought liberals allow themselves to have. They also assumed white voters in caucus states like Idaho and North Dakota were bigots who would never vote for a black man, so she didn’t compete enough in those places.”</blockquote> – from a May 2008 blog posting titled “<a href="http://craptocracy.blogspot.com/2008/05/stereotypes.html">Sterotypes</a>”, written by C.

This time the target of his condescension is comedian <a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Original_Kings_of_Comedy#Bernie_Mac">Bernie Mac</a>, who got schooled by Barack for making <a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/07/11/obama-doesnt-appreciate-ho-joke-at-fundraiser/">the following joke at an Obama fundraiser</a>:<br />
<blockquote>The Chicago-born comedian and actor told what he said was a joke about his nephew coming to him and asking the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question.<br />
<br />
To demonstrate the difference, he tells the nephew to go ask his mother if she would make love to the mailman for $50,000. The mother says she would make love to the mailman and anybody else for $50,000.<br />
<br />
He tells the nephew to go ask his sister if she would make love with her neighbor for $50,000. She says she would make love with the neighbor and anybody else for $50,000.<br />
<br />
So he tells the nephew: “Hypothetically speaking, we should have $100,000. But realistically speaking we live with two hos,” Bernie Mac said.</blockquote>As is so often the case, this unfortunate situation could have been avoided by <a href="http://craptocracy.blogspot.com/2008/03/he-doesnt-deliver-payoff-lines-he-slam.html">deploying Sinbad</a>. Not only is Sinbad “<a href="http://delafont.com/comedians/Sinbad.htm">off-the-wall...free as the wind, an unpredictable force that can't be harnessed</a>”, his comedy is rated DG, or “<a href="http://www.delafont.com/ratings.htm">Very clean. Suitable for family or conservative groups. No strong language and little or no sexual dialogue or situations</a>.” <br />
<br />
I wonder, is Obama habitually careless about <a href="http://billayers.wordpress.com/">who he associates with</a>? Or does he have some sort of grudge against Sinbad? Or both?C.

In every college dorm room debate on religion the atheist side will, at some point, bring up Leviticus on slavery and shellfish. It’s odd hearing a Christian do so. <br /><br />During the Jeremiah Wright ‘crisis’, the Obama apologists excused his attending a radical church claiming Obama was there for the Jesus talk, which Obama loves, not the hate whitey ranting, which Obama grudgingly tolerated.
