There’s a new blog in town
Bookworm on Aug 16 2008 at 8:34 am | Filed under: Barack Obama, John McCain
A group of Bay Area bloggers have joined together to create a blog advocating a John McCain presidency. I’m one of those bloggers. The new blog is called (appropriately enough) Bloggers for John McCain. i’ll have a regular Saturday gig there. My first post there today is called “The Tide Is Turning.” Here’s a snippet, but it would be great for the new blog’s traffic if you’d check the post out at Bloggers for John McCain.
It’s always fun to flirt with the edge of a cliff. We dance up to it, proud of our courage in getting so close to the that knife’s edge between security and oblivion. But when we actually look into the abyss, well, that’s when sensible people start getting nervous. Right now, sensible people are backing off of the abyss that is the Democratic party.
The Washington Post has just reported that McCain had his top fundraising month to date, although he’s still not achieving financial parity with Obama:
Republican Sen. John McCain posted the best fundraising month of his presidential campaign in July, bringing in $27 million, but his supporters are bracing for the near-certainty that he will be operating at a severe financial disadvantage in the two-month stretch between the end of the party political conventions and Election Day.
Even the bad news in that paragraph — that Obama is way ahead in the money game — isn’t quite as bad as it looks. To begin with, while the media has carefully looked the other way whenever someone tries to flag its attention about Obama’s fund-raising irregularities, it’s becoming apparent that at least some of Obama’s money is actually funny money — very funny.

McCainiacs thinking outside of the box…
In 1980 (and again in 1984), Ronald Reagan won in significant part because traditionally Democratic voters abandoned their party to vote for him. Those same “Reagan Democrats” have shown up frequently in the news today. Indeed, McCain is specifically…
….and I just sent McCain more from my guv’munt check!
Excellent “Tide is turning” post and thank you for this entry in your blog asking people to visit our (your) new blog
.
Good for you. I’m a Victory ’08 McCain blogger myself. I figure everything helps, if we all pull together the words get out.
I’ll bookmark your new spot. Keep up the good fight.
Not may bloggers are posting on Obama’s faux-pas slipup at Rick Warren’s event last night. It is the usual “Blame America First”, “What’s Wrong With America” comment. It’s the usual mantra of “I will speak no evil of anyone else, except for the Evil West and evil America.”
But Gateway Pundit has the video and the transcript. Compare McCain and Obama…
Warren to Obama- Does evil exist, and if so, do we ignore it, do we negotiate with it, do we contain it, or do we defeat it?
Obama: “… Now, the one thing that I think is very important is for us to have some humility in how we approach the issue of confronting evil. You know a lot of evil has been perpetrated based on the claim that we were trying to confront evil… In the name of good and I think one thing that’s very important is having some humility in recognizing that. You know, just because we think our intentions are good doesn’t mean that we’re going to be doing good.”
He’s not talking about another country there– He’s talking about the US perpetrating evil. Is anyone else outraged with that statement?
Warren to McCain- Does evil exist, and if so, do we ignore it, do we negotiate with it, do we contain it, or do we defeat it?
McCain: Defeat it.

As Gateway Pundit pointed out, look carefully among the blathering Obama statements. I’ll capitalize a few words…
You know a lot of evil has been perpetrated based on the claim that WE were trying to confront evil…
You know, just because WE think OUR intentions are good doesn’t mean that WE’RE going to be doing good.”
This would not be so outrageous, and so sickening, if Obama had similarly pointed to other countries, and named names. There’s a hell of a long list to choose from, Obama! But no… the only country he will actually TARGET is the U.S.A. Read it again, notice carefully what he has done. It is a f*cking outrage.
And you have to love McCain’s answer. McCain had no clue what Obama had said; McCain was in “the cone of silence” during Obama’s hour. McCain gets it… more and more he’s getting it. He doesn’t even have to hear Obama speak anymore to effectively refute the spineless jellyfish, anti-American, weak-kneed blather.
In the interest of fairness, here’s the complete Q&A on evil for Obama.
I actually think it makes him look worse. Did YOU know that, outside of the evils on the streets of our cities, and abusive parents, that the only evil in the entire world is happening… in DARFUR?!?! And note he says only that there is evil “in Darfur”. Who is causing it, Obama? Got a spine? Willing to name names? Oh no, never never never.
Anyway. The transcript:
Q: Does evil exist and if it does do we ignore it, do
we negotiate with it, do we contain it or do we defeat it?
A. Evil does exist. I mean, we see evil all the
time. We see evil in Darfur. We see evil sadly on the
streets of our cities. We see evil in parents who have
viciously abused their children and i think it has to
be confronted. It has to be confronted squarely and
one of the things that i strongly believe is that, you
know, we are not going to, as individuals, be able to
erase evil from the world. That is God’s task. But we
can be solders in that process and we can confront it
when we see it. Now, the one think that i think is very
important is for us to have some humility in how we
the issue of con fronting evil, but you know a
lot of evil has been perpetrated based on the claim
that we were trying to confront evil.
Q. In the name of good?
A. Into the name of good. And i think one thing
that’s very important is having some humility in
that, you know, just because we think our
intentions are good doesn’t always mean that we’re
going to be doing good.
