Sports Illustrated reports that Barack Obama's campaign is in talks to sponsor a race car in NASCAR's premier series next month.
This is a perfect match for Obama...the cars only make LEFT TURNS!!!
Trouble is every Democrat I know thinks that NASCAR people are two-toothed knuckle draggers and can hardly hide their scorn of them. What gaff will Obama make to them? Another problem is that BAM racing is a parental back marker who can barely finish a race. Bad for TV exposure to say the least.
This naked hard right turn program by Obama doesn't surprise me but what will his minions think about Obama's name on a stock car (eeeewwww). One of the differences I've seen between the left and right is that the left is always doing the "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" when their candidate swings right, knowing full well that he'll bank left once he gets into office. His getting caught talking about "bitter" gun owners in the heart of elitist leftism (San Fran) is a good example of W.W.N.N. Conservatives don't play that game (swing left, bank back to the right). They play the game straight-up. Good ideas need nothing more than that.
By the way, who is going to pilot the fastest pimp mobile on the planet when she knows that most of those in attendance will be clinging to their shootin' iron and bible while testifying and handling snakes.
I have been kidding up til' now, but in all honesty, I didn't know there were enough bisexual, vegan, free range, organically fed, persons of color who are also union members and card carrying members in good standing with the ACLU on the circuit available to staff and manage a Nascar pit crew.
This could be history in the making though - the first hybrid/bio-diesel beat-up Volvo wagon in Nascar history.
Now I do have one serious question: Will it be featuring the "I hate GWB" collection, the "War is Terrorism" collection or will it feature the rainbow/gay pride collection of bumper stickers?

Pocano officials have issued an official FU to this demand.
Posted by: JDH on July 11, 2008 08:17 PMThe Nutroots' heads will probably explode soon as Obama reverses on just about every whacko just-left-of-Mao Progressive policy that they hold dear.
It would be pretty shrewd if they dumped Obama and went with Hillary. I think she'd beat McCain handily. But knowing the left, they'll ride this one down to the bottom of the ocean as well.
That's the great thing about Progressivism and all of their failed 19th century German philosophy. It's a discredited and dysfunctional ideology. It's all based on sand. It's guaranteed to collapse in on itself.
1. You still haven't posted anything about yourself to Meet the Contributors. Hard to take what you say seriously when we don't know anything about you.
2. The clown thing is really becoming embarassingly lame for you.Try posting something thoughtful like Earling or Miller.

I, for one, find it odd that in spite of the "embarrassing lameness" of these posts, you're still here reading them.
Who someone is means nothing about what they say. What's written stands or fails on it's own argument.
A little introspection concerning YOUR arrogance and smug superiority might be in order. And remember, reading these posts are/is entirely voluntary. Don't like them? Then move along... nothing to see here.
Posted by: hinton on July 12, 2008 04:20 PMBHO is getting too flashy for his britches. My hope that undecided voters will see through his desire to be an attention-whore, with all due respect and realize that he would be good for a traveling medicine show or being an evangelist but NOT as POTUS in 2008.
Don't be insane, vote for McCain !!

They are worth listening to because they are people who have been in politics for awhile and therefore have meaningful insights, not just hack-ish parodies. Also, transparency is one of the great things about this blog. We know exactly who is writing because they use their real names and they bost their bios. Juvenal does neither...so nobody knows if when they say Greg Nickels is an idiot we should believe them becasue they know him or we should chalk it up to someone who reads the newspaper. So I think it is worth learning about Juvenal. If folks disagree, fine. And nobody is forcing Juvenal to post about him- or her-self. But it seems to be a reasonable request.
I'm sure somebody out there will remember which driver was being bleeped out when he said "F___ the democrats..."
Do you think BHO, being a chain smoker, could get that money back into it? Posted by: PC on July 14, 2008 11:15 PM
