Re: Obama Makes McCain Uncomfortable

“Never pick a fight with somebody who buys ink by the barrel.” is an old, old saying. Some say it goes back to Ben Franklin who as a printer and publisher did indeed buy ink by the barrel.

The US Senate is much more gentile and collegial than the House. There's only 100 members of this exclusive club and if you've ever watched CSPAN you've seen how they address each other with the studied deference that's built into the rules and tradition of the place. McCain can manage that on camera most of the time but as we all know he's infamously lost his temper on a lot of occasions and shown his contempt for others, even other Republican senators.

Part of it is his Napoleon complex, the little man syndrome that he wrote about in one of his books. Always short (he's 5'9"), as a kid he thought it necessary to prove himself by fighting with the first bigger boy who "provoked" him.

But there's more to it than that and it may stem from his upbringing and training. Demonizing your opponent has long been considered necessary in the military. His father and grandfather rose to be admirals by effectively leading men in battle killing Asians. McCain killed many with his bombs.

Now I've never been to war or in the military, but many members of my family have. Killing your follow man is an unnatural act. It goes against everything society and religion teaches us. A poor but useful analogy is football. It too involves unnatural acts, lunging at opposing players to knock them down. When you're young it takes a certain amount of training to sacrifice your body (it's a painful game) before you can even begin to learn the skills required to be good at it. Military training takes these steps far beyond that by necessity.

McCain was brought up demonizing Asians. In referring to North Koreans fairly recently he called them "gooks". When called on using the slur by Asian Americans he refused to apologize citing his POW days and said they'd always be "gooks" to him.

If you're going to break the "thou shall not kill" commandment, commit what is considered murder in civilian life you have to be trained to demonize, dehumanize your opponent. From the day he was born he was indoctrinated in that culture.

Obama is that opponent now. By training McCain has to despise him in order to destroy him. It's all or nothing and anything goes. I think that's why he can't bring himself to look at Barack and is running the most dishonest campaign in US history. In his mind it's not only honorable it's the only way to treat an opponent. To him all's fair in love, war and politics.

Re: Foreign Auto Makers Won Billions in Government Subsidies

Good article Mike. I'd like to see a complete list of the states and the amount of subsidies they gave to foreign car companies. Many of the same suppliers that sell to GM and Chrysler sell to Honda and Toyota. It's not gonna cheap for them to have to keep their suppliers in business alone. And we all know where those costs will be passed along to.

Kill the Big Three and and any new vehicle will cost more. That's what happens when you destroy competition. And those non union workers in the south? Their wages will go down with hundreds of thousands of unemployed UAW line workers on the market. And what are they gonna do about it, unionize? All those workers may pay taxes but the profits go back to Japan, Korea and Germany. My ancestors didn't move to the USA to work as serfs for foreign companies who are subsidized by their governments. Let's level the playing field by adopting the same government run healthcare plans every other industrialized country has. Take that burden off our manufacturers and they can compete with anyone.

Another unintended consequence of killing the Big Three? Goodbye NASCAR.

McCain Transition Head Lobbied for Freddie Mac Before Takeover

By Jonathan D. Salant and Timothy J. Burger

Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) — The lobbying firm of the man Republicans say John McCain has chosen to begin planning a presidential transition earned more than a quarter of a million dollars this year representing Freddie Mac, one of the companies McCain blames for the nation’s financial crisis.

Timmons & Co., whose founder and chairman emeritus is William Timmons Sr., was registered to lobby for Freddie Mac from 2000 through this month, when the federal government took over both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Newly available congressional records show Timmons’s firm received $260,000 this year before its lobbying activities were barred under terms of the government rescue of the failed mortgage giant. Timmons, 77, is listed as a lobbyist for Freddie Mac on the company’s midyear financial-disclosure form.

Byrne doesn't know whether he lives in Chicago as he says in his blog bio or the suburbs as he says in the article.

Dems have a decided advantage in volunteers willing to give up what most likely will be the last nice days of the fall and even a Bear's romp to come out and canvass and phonebank for their candidates. Most of the young people I've seen getting off those buses are students from Northwestern, U of Chi., Depaul and Loyola. Smart kids who know that Bush and the Republicans are mortgaging their future with their wasteful spending, disastrous war in Iraq and massive tax cuts for the top 1 percent.

In the IL-06 Peter Roskam has so few canvassers and phonebankers I hear the Republican powers that be in DC flew out over 80 hill staffers this weekend to walk the district and call voters. I hope they're not being payed by the federal government to electioneer. I also understand they don't actually talk to voters one on one and ask for their votes. They simply doorhang literature. I guess their accents would give them away.

I tried calling Roskam's office last week to ask what he thinks of "occult promoting" Harry Potter books and before I had a chance to say more than hello I was put on hold by a harried staffer who evidently forgot about me. I hung up after 10 minutes. They're not going to get many volunteers that way but evidently he doesn't need them.

The NRCC and the RNC are putting so much money into IL-06 they're actually mailing packages about 7" long x 3" wide by about an inch high labeled "America's start up kit". Inside are just 3 pieces of attack literature with slander about Duckworth. That's a lot of cash to fool people into looking at that junk.

Another dirty little trick they're using is right out of Rove's playbook from the RNC in DC is robocalling with a recorded message that starts out, "I have some important information for you about Tammy Duckworth". Most people hang up on robocalls and that intro is made to sound like a Duckworth call. If they listen to the full message they get an earful of Republican attacks on Duckworth. If they don't they are redialed, sometimes immediately but always multiple times a day. One guy said he got 14 of these calls in one day. This is an attempt to block Duckworth's phonebanking advantage. Numerous times voters have screamed in my ear "Quit calling me!".

Roskam knows he can turn out his anti-abortion and gun nut base. He also knows serious Dems won't be dissuaded by these tactics. But if he can get independents to stay home, to say a pox on both their houses he can sneak in.

Dems "launched" a scandal involving Republican congressional leaders protecting a Republican - and now what appears to be two more Republican congressmen - preying on Republican children sent by Republican parents to be pages under Republican leadership protection? What's wrong with that picture?

Everything. In matter of fact it was a Republican staffer who gave Brian Ross of ABC News the info.
He did what the St. Petersburg FL and Miami papers
and the FBI refused to do when they got wind of this and actually made a few phone calls to the kids and found the story to not only be true but got corroborating evidence. Now the House Ethics Committee has finished it's investigation but refuses to release their findings for political purposes. Hmmmm.

Vanillaman you're wrong about Duckworth but don't take my word for it. You'll find out soon enough.

The VFW is supposed to endorse the candidate that will be the better advocate for vets and soldiers. Duckworth by virtue of her previous educational and work experience is the much better versed candidate on healthcare issues and because of her military experience is the much better candidate on the needs of soldiers and veterans. She's actually lived this stuff.

Peter Roskam is a lightweight. He has a long history of inconsequential "extra credit" acts like the dogtag recovery or the recycling program that while admirable on the surface reek of resume padding to bolster his credentials and advance his political career.

Re: Obama introduces “Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2006″

markg8 — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 11:01:45 -0000

The robocalls Repubs used in IL-06 and approximately 52 other races around the country are from what I understand already illegal. But Rollcall just reported on 10-24 that the FEC wasn't going to investigate anymore instances of voter suppression from 2004 because it had neither the manpower or the resources. That's typical Republican modus operandi. Strip the regulatory agency of power and then pull whatever they want.
Don Segretti would be proud.

By law the caller is supposed to identify who the call is from at the beginning of the call, not the end. The intro of these calls said "I have important information for you about Tammy Duckworth". If you listened to the whole thing you got an earful of the same old Republican slander about her and that was the end of it. If you hung up - like most people always do - you got called back, sometimes immediately, sometimes an hour later but invariably many times. One guy claimed he got 17 calls in one evening, another 14 times.

These calls were intended to negate Duckworth's volunteer phonebanker/canvasser advantage. They worked. Starting in mid October people were calling her office telling "us" to stop calling. Doors were slammed in our faces and phones hung up in our ears.

Obama and Reid ought to hold hearings. Subpoena everybody involved at the NRCC, the companies they outsourced the work to, Karl Rove and Peter Roskam. Make a big stink about this and then pass a law that says any efforts to subvert not just any single political party with this garbage but our demcoracy itself of which elections are the bedrock are punishable by up to 10 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines. Then fully fund the FEC so it can do it's job.

Re: Rewards great, risks high for Duckworth

From the Tribune 11-21 article:

"Duckworth was manager of district administration for Rotary International's Asia-Pacific region. She also helped coordinate research grants and funding at the Center for Nursing Research at Northern Illinois University, and was a logistics officer with the National Guard in Peoria."

Assisting government healthcare agencies in countries like Afghanistan and Indonesia is what she did at Rotary Int'l. It was also the basis for her thesis. She is eminently qualified to run this agency.

IL-13 Harper 56 Biggert 44.

Scott Harper, a complete unknown at the time outpolled Biggert and her anti-abortion challenger combined on Super Tuesday by 25,000 votes. DuPage took 133,000 Dem ballots to 109,000 Repub on Feb. 5th too. The district is changing. Biggert's base of retirees is dying off or moving to FL, AZ. There's been an influx of people moving from other parts of the country and overseas like Eastern Europeans and South Asians. Biggert's nasty immigration bashing doesn't play well with them.

Biggert started out with a huge money advantage but Harper has out raised her this year and her fundraising is way off from past years. Probably because the big banks she fought to deregulate on the Finance Committee are in big, big trouble.

She's obviously worried. She opened a campaign office in Downers recently and is mounting a ground game for the first time ever. Too late for that.

Voters out here know she's climbed on board the "drill baby drill" train yet she's taken $88,000 from oil companies. She plays a photo op game at Argonne and businesses in the district who are adopting or developing green technologies. And while she sometimes votes for alternative energy R&D funding when it comes to changing the tax code to take away the fossil fuel companies' subsidies and tax breaks to level the playing field so alternatives can compete in the market she's right there with Bush holding back commercialization of the 21st century energy solutions we need. Her daughter is a pharmaceutical company lobbyist and she's gotten $230,000 from them while voting against healthcare for our kids and veterans.

She's been in lockstep with Bush on the fiasco in Iraq.

As for Harper he's come out of nowhere to move up to the DCCC Emerging Races list (2nd tier), one of 5 candidates in the nation and the only one in IL recently. He's just been endorsed by DAPAC, a big progressive organization. He's one of only 14 challengers nationwide to out raise an incumbent this year. He raised more cash than all 4 of Biggert's previous Dem challengers did combined for their whole races by the end of the second quarter.

He put together a volunteer organization that was able to send Bill Foster 100 activists for GOTV on election day March 8th and over 40 to Lafayette IN the Saturday before their primary. In the middle of July his canvassers knocked on 3200 doors for one big Saturday event.

When the DCCC announced a surprise "100 Days to Victory" contest the Monday afterward while his field manager was sitting on a beach in MD enjoying a much needed long weekend off and the computers were down for two days loading the new VAN his staff managed to pull together over 750 volunteers through out the district and across the country to canvass, phonebank, write letters and deliver yard signs. In four days.

Harper has an MBA in Finance from U of Chi. Last year he was working on his doctorate in Social Ethics at Oxford when several of us convinced him the most ethical thing he could do would be to set it aside to run for congress. He's also been a successful businessman. He and a partner built a business in the city from the two of them up to over forty employees before he sold his share.

He's a sharp guy with a breadth of experience and a lot of great ideas to get this country back on track. Needless to say he's got a lot of people here in the burbs excited about him and his campaign. He'll win surprisingly handily.

photogram - ever been on one of her teletownhall conference calls? She usually holds these things at 10:30 in the morning so her respondees are 99% white retirees. Invariably the talk shifts to all "the other" people moving into the area. Judy is all too happy to tut tut right along with them as they accuse all "these people" of crowding their big families into small houses, sucking up welfare and services they think they're paying for. Maybe Biggert is just too polite to tell them they're racist. Nah who am I kidding. It's what the Republican party lives on.

Re: Question of the day

markg8 — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 22:54:18 -0000

BTW here's another thing Scott Harper is for. He wants to lower the corporate tax rate and offset it by doing away with the hundreds of special tax breaks that major corporations have hired their tax attorneys and lobbyists to bribe the likes of Biggert to embed into the tax code like barnacles on the bottom of a ship. That'll level the playing field for small businesses and start ups, and make the fat cats actually compete. It's time we purge the tax code of loopholes and breaks that make it easier to ship jobs overseas and harder to start a business that can compete with Biggert's big business favorites.

As far as I know Alesch the green in the 13th isn't even running a race. He's reported no fundraising at all. The only sign I've seen of the green party in the district all year was one guy wearing a t-shirt at a parade in Tinley Park last weekend. If he gets 1% I'll be amazed.

markg8 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:07:09 -0000

Anonymous I suggest you attend one of Harper's house parties where he answers questions from voters face to face. While he's never been a professional politician and doesn't talk in sound bite platitudes like Biggert he's incredibly knowledgeable.

He grew up in Naperville and graduated from both Naperville North and Wheaton College. He got an MBA in finance at U of Chi. Then like so many others he moved to Chicago to start and build a business and made a lot of money. He took classes at UIC to qualify for the doctorate he wanted and spent two years in England (and last I checked they're a pretty close ally, they even speak English which I'm sure will be reassuring to Biggert's shrinking fan base) where he went to Oxford University, one of the most prestigious learning institutions in the world.

Trying to mock him as some kind of bizarro foreigner like you guys did Tammy Duckworth is not only ridiculous, it's self defeating. In case you haven't noticed there's hundreds of thousands of voters in the district who don't come from DuPage at all, including Judy Biggert and her chief of staff who, horrors or horrors is a native Chicagoan.

Re: Question of the day

markg8 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:31:21 -0000

Long-time Lurker - a lot of those disenfranchised Republicans (and independents who make up about a third of electorate) are gonna show up at the polls and vote Democratic. Obama, Lisa Madigan, and Jesse White among others have all gotten over 60% of the vote in DuPage alone.

That's a big reason why DuPage Republicans who tried to peddle their ridiculous "recall all the state constitutional officers" petition all year long failed to get even 7,000 of the 21,000 required signatures to put it on the ballot in the county. That of course didn't stop them. The Republican dominated DuPage County Election Commission was going to illegally put the referendum on the ballot anyway until the DuPage Democratic Party cried foul.

That petition drive shows just how weak the Republicans are in DuPage these days. As much as everybody hates Blago out here they couldn't even get 7,000 to sign it in a county with hundreds of thousands of registered voters.

Like Obama says Americans aren't stupid and that goes double for DuPage.

But unless you have two really awful major party candidates I wouldn't look for any Green to get 1%. This election is too important and the difference between Dems and Repubs is too stark for most voters to ignore and throw their vote away on a protest vote.

Re: This just in… Halvorson poll has her ahead by 19

markg8 — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:48:09 -0000

willcant that's a pathetic defense. Biggert has been quoted many times since Paulson asked for $700 billion no questions asked. First she told the Daily Herald the Democratic proposal of equity investments in big banks instead of Paulson's taxpayer giveaway and limiting CEO pay sounded like socialism to her. Then she sided with other rightwing morons who thought insuring the toxic securities with taxpayer dollars was a good idea. Wall St. wrote $62 trillion worth of insurance swaps they can't begin to pay off. How many trillions do you think the US taxpayer has? After she voted against the first bill she said on NPR it was because she wanted the FBI "beefed up to investigate mortgage fraud". She's just now noticing there was mortgage fraud? Really?

Let's face it Judy Biggert was stumped because there's nothing she can say. She and her rightwing ideologue friends brought us this fiasco by deregulating the markets.

Unless we repudiate the people and the party that turned the USA into the world's biggest banana republic our banks and the dollar won't be seen as a safe haven for anybody to put their money. That's why Paulson followed Europe's lead and bought bank stock so quickly this week. He had no choice, otherwise there would have been a run on American banks like nothing we've ever seen. So much for Biggert's "socialism".

A special election as a response to another Illinois governor getting himself in legal trouble doesn't make sense to me. Getting rid of pay to play does.

If we change the law so we choose a replacement for any senator who gets elected president by special election it'll jeopardize the chances any senator from Illinois has of getting either party's nomination.

Does anybody doubt if we had such a law a year ago it wouldn't have damaged Obama's chances against Hillary? Did New York change their law to strip the governor's office of this power when Spitzer was disgraced? No, and we shouldn't cut off our noses to spite our faces either.

Let's see now, gun sales soared in the last three months of 2008. FOX News reports "end-of-year figures showed a big spike in background checks for the last three months of 2008, and in November, the month Obama was elected, the number of background checks was 42 percent greater than in November 2007."

According to them "An electronic news service that covers outdoor news has even named Obama its "Gun Salesman of the Year.""

There were two plots (lame attempts though they were) on Obama's life broken up before he was elected.

The DHS released a report written by a Bush holdover the other day about radical rightwing terrorist groups and their recruitment efforts. There wasn't anything shocking about it, the DHS does these assessments periodically, they released one of radical leftist groups not so long ago. Nothing shocking except for the rightwing hysteria directed against DHS by major broadcasters like Rush Limbaugh and lunatics all over the net.

A 23 year old man wearing body armor, armed with a AK-47, another rifle, and a .357 magnum in Pittsburgh killed three cops in cold blood, shot two of them in the face, and murdered another who came to help them respond to domestic disturbance call on April 4th. His "reasoning"? He was afraid Obama was gonna take away his guns.

Michelle Bachman, congresswoman from MN has been spewing violent rhetoric for months now. She wants Republicans to be "armed and dangerous". The Republican governor of TX just yesterday openly speculated about seceding from the Union, calling the federal government oppressive. So not to be outdone in steps Mark Kirk to polish his wingnut bonafides.

Yeah, we'll all just forget about this, it's just silly rhetoric. Sure we will. Until some nut takes a potshot at Obama or Quinn. Then all bets are off folks.

I suggest you guys go read the violent vitriol directed against JFK in the weeks and months before he was shot in Dallas.

nervousGOP'r said:

"Nobody is refused care and if you live in urban areas you might have to wait in line but health care is free."

Do you know how many people die because they are denied care their insurance company won't pay for or they can't afford to pay for in this country? Do you know how many people have to declare bankruptcy because of medical bills? Lastly there is no such thing as "free healthcare". Even if poor people can and do get some care, substandard as it is, we all pay for it and the hodgepodge of Medicaid is the most expensive, least efficient way of delivering care in the world. That's hardly anything to brag about.

Biggert's got to go. She was on Don Roma's WLS radio show in February where they played a clip from a congressional hearing the day before. A Dem congressman was rightfully railing at the Citicorp CEO who was providing non answers to his questions about the number of SIVs Citicorp owned. Much guffawing by Wade, Roma.and Biggert, with Biggert adding "oh he's just venting". It all stopped when Roma asked Judy "What's a SIV anyway?" Judy's response? "Oh I don't know." It was like "What are you asking me for? I'm a girl!" They quickly moved on.

10 years on the Financial Services Committee and all she's done is spout Heritage Foundation and Club for Growth nonsense while financial bubbles grew ever larger and finally this one blew up in all our faces. She may be a fine real estate lawyer but she has no business being in congress.

On top of that she's a world class hypocrite. Constantly complaining about government spending she never misses a beat when it comes to cutting a ribbon for for pork. She was in Bolingbrook over the weekend taking credit for all the small business money she voted against that Obama's making available in the stimulus plan.
