(2008-01-10) — Sen. Barack Obama today declined the endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, saying his presidential campaign is about “hope and change”, and he doesn’t want to “send mixed messages.”
Sticking with his new stump speech refrain, Sen. Obama said, “They told us you can’t run a presidential campaign without kissing up to every Democrat who ever rode this donkey to defeat. But I say, yes…yes we can.”
“They told us you can’t diss a former presidential candidate who’s a professional Vietnam war veteran,” he added, “But I say yes…yes we can.”
An unnamed spokesman for the Obama campaign said the endorsement rejection is not necessarily permanent.
“If we get to the convention and our campaign needs a little extra shove to put us over the top,” the Obama aide said, “then we might ask Sen. Kerry to…you know…do it.”

If Obama doesn’t want Kerry’s endorsement, it’s probably still available for the candidate who was Kerry’s first choice as running mate.

That is so funny, when I saw that endorsement announced I thought the same thing.
How would that help Obama and why would he want it.

Lurch endorsing Osama Obama…what a pair of buffoons!
So-called Republicans out there voting for McShame and Schmuckabee are guaranteeing a loss to the dhimmis in ‘08. McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy…the man has NO shame. Schmuckabee with his tax hikes and refusal to stand up against the pro-abortion/pro-gay crowd on Larry King, in addition to pandering to the Arkansas businesses using illegal alien labor when he was gov, is NOT a conservative. Fred is a conservative, Duncan Hunter is a conservative, and I can even stomach Romney over the liberal wolves-in-sheep’s-clothing who’ve “won” the two primaries, thus far. Keep supporting OLD MAN McCain and “preacher-man” Huckabee, and it’s a given that Hillary or Obama, both unashamedly Socialist, will end up in the WH.

It must be embarrassing to NBC – the amount of money they are making from out of the Union’s coffers.
The anti-right to work ads are becoming more annoying than the political ads. States with right to work laws are facing bankruptcy – people’s corpses piled deep in the streets, dead from starvation. Unemployment is off of the charts.
You’ve got to vote against the right to work law or we’re all going to die!
I’m starting to get the idea that Unions don’t like Right to Work Laws.

Romney is an opportunist so we’ll leave him off the list; but can Hunter or Thompson pull their campaigns out of the tank? Fred’s noted primarily for his poor showing so far (and his sponsorship and continuing support of McCain-Feingold), and I would be surprised if a random sampling of voters turned up 5% who had a clue even who Duncan Hunter is, much less where he stands.

29 gafisher // Jan 10, 2008 at 9:56 pm
da Bunny Re#26: no apology necessary. I have a few issues (the rights of the unborn and taxes being high on the list) but no one candidate yet. As a Michigander my first impulse was to support “the guy from around here” but I’m really disappointed with his very anti-conservative history, some of which is explained in the article linked from my earlier post. I was really excited when Fred got into the race, but a couple of months ago when he was here in Michigan he made it clear he was still proud of McCain-Feingold; of course that abomination (Rush called it the “Incumbency Protection Act” IIRC) was originally called “McCain-Feingold-Thompson.”
I’ve donated to several campaigns, including the above, Huckabee’s, and GOPAC, but there’s nobody even close to a Ronald Reagan in the whole bunch. Since the others range from weak to equal on the rights of the unborn and are flaccid on real tax reform, at this point I’ll agree that my choices are limited; I’d rather have a true conservative to vote for than a list from which to choose the closest approximation.
As for Huckabee’s previous career, it’s probably the biggest factor I’ve got against him — I’d much rather vote for a Presbyterian.
However, of the current candidates I think his political record is no worse than any and better than most; he’s unabashedly and consistently pro-life; and he supports what I believe to be the best tax reform proposal in a hundred years. No Ronald Reagan, but who is?
30 prettyold // Jan 10, 2008 at 10:30 pm
The vital issue for me is the War On Terror. If we back away from this war now,none of the rest will matter. Taxes, abortion,gay marriage,none of these will matter if we allow Iran to get Nuclear weapons .
In second place for me is Illegal Immigration,because this is probably how the terrorists will get to us. Also we simply can’t afford to take our already overwhelmed Social Security System and try to support all of North America with it.
Third is getting Judges appointed who will follow the Constitution. That will solve the abortion issue and gay marriage. I’d rather see Guiliani than Huckabee. Huck went beyaond the pale when he said what he did about Our President George W Bush.
OK ,Bush isn’t perfect ,every decision wasn’t perfect , but I would like someone to tell me who could have done better ,under the circumstances,and if you say Ronald Reagon ,I will point out that he isn’t with us anymore. Does anyone honestly think McCain would have done better? Mr.Egomaniac?
We can’t stop abortion or,gay people with laws,we have to win hearts and prove the very terrible health risks of both.We can’t keep making those issues more acceptable,but we love the sinner ,we only hate the sin.

In an interview President Bush summed up the current race for the White House.
“What America has to decide is Who has the character, the will and the resolve to be the President”. ’nuff said.
So far, that specific, precise assessment greatly narrows the field to Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter.
Without exception, each of the other candidates for the office of President is lacking in at least one or all of the three.

c-a-t #38 I’m having such fun these days – the local Macatawa Express aka Max Bus carries wheechairs easily for a buck. I go to Denny’s ; Bob Evans’ Steak and Shake; etc. I wheel up to the counter, order a coffee and lay out my latest Rush Limbaugh Newsletter and my copy of “The Politically Incorrect Guide to GLOBAL WARNING and Environmentalism”. The conversations are hilarious (I should get a recorder)
It’s also scary when I realize that with the education I’ve gotten from Scott Ott my fellow Scraplers and consistent listening daily to Rush, I am probably as well equipped to debate Obama, Huckabee etc. as anyone they will ever talk with. The same (with the exception of a few Trolls here and there) is true of the majority of Scrapplers.
So when those walking, talking Trolls sit beside me (they seem to always start the talk) I can jump right in, confident that they can’t throw anything that I can’t field.
They usually wind up walking away, mumbling to themselves. Now most of the folks behind the counter have known me for years and now (not always) they are mostly hard core conservatives. So they have a tendency, when things are slow to jump into the conservations on my side.
So I can’t recall this much fun since the hogs ate my little brother.

The world is surely warming. As the glaciers retreat they are revealing the farms and other habitations that were there when the glacier arrived. So, one can only conclude that it’s warming to the point it clearly was before it cooled.
Now whether we have anything to do with the current situation and whether it will stop where it once was or go warmer are surely questionable.
Then again, if this were termed a campaign for breathable air (which it surely is, they are pretty much the same thing as it seems we cannot breath “greenhouse” gases) then perhaps we could be more in agreement. Perhaps not

Actually, JL3, boberin is correct.
Evidence of mining, abandoned tools and such, has been unearthed from the retreating glaciers of the Alps. However, the proof of warmer climate at one time is not proof that such change is man-made.
It takes quite a bit of hubris to assume that man is able to affect climate. Ironically, change is the one invariable of nature, which is always in a state of flux.
We’re supposedly moving toward a period of global cooling anyway. I suppose that algore and his merry boondogglers will claim credit for this shift.

But skiing’s loss has been archaeology’s gain. As mountain glaciers give up the ghost, they also reveal secrets. In recent years, well-preserved corpses, disgorged by receding glaciers, have been discovered on three continents.
The most famous of these is Otzi the Iceman, found by hikers in the Italian Alps in 1991. Carbon dating showed that Otzi had been entombed in the ice for more than 5,000 years.

Ahhhhh, run for the hills.” We would all be sooooo much better served if we used technology and the good ol’ bean to prepare for sustainability under any scenario of temperature just as businesses do in preparation for any scenario of upturn or downturn of the economy. People are so busy running around, arguing, that no matter if it is warming or cooling, they’re gonna get caught with their pants down and be really, really embarassed or cold! And John McCain?

I don’t understand all of the hullabaloo over the weather. The experts are often very inaccurate, and I say there are too many aspects about it that the expert scientists don’t know what they think they know about it.
Now God, on the other hand is completely knowledgeable on the subject, totally in control of this entire universe that even the experts are still unaware of, and God loves me and he is my friend. I think I will leave every aspect of the future in His capable hands.
His word also details some future events that warrant great concern regarding our personal wellbeing. But those experts give God, the Creator, no thought whatsoever. I know that I am just a simple farm boy from the hills of West Virginia.
I suspect that if the experts would spend as much effort researching God with an open and honest mind, they too could relax and enjoy their lives.

So, sKerry gives
Osama Obama his endorsement, eh? I bet that’s just seared, seared, seared into Obama’s brain. Too bad sKerry didn’t give his endorsement on Christmas Day to complete the circle. I wonder if that endorsement also comes with some Heinzâ„¢ catsup?74 Darthmeister // Jan 11, 2008 at 9:35 pm

Perhaps the Great Santini has gone on a long holiday?
I was once sidetracked from life here at Scrappleface, too busy to live the good life, I do hope the Great Santini is well and will one day rejoin the family.
WOW !!! The recaptcha box has a message in it again……swearing Fred……either Fred Thompson is going to take the oath of office, or Fred Sinclair is going to get extremely upset!
Anyhow, as far as the late night TV candidating, I guess that is the Clintonization of politics. It started with Bill and his saxophone, didn’t it?Because Bill “got it”, he was hip and cool and made red-blooded Americans feel like upchucking. Like the President of the United States of America is some college jock that lives to party hearty all day and all night.
Perhaps that is why Fred is not as popular as some other candidates? I think so.

Oh, I’ve heard of sKerry! Is that the same guy the MSM refers to as John Kerry? I think he just needed a press conference to continue to feel relevant.Picking O’pajamas instead of Edweirds gets more hang time in the MSM, more hang time – more relevance.

OOH, Veep = extra relevance! And from there the next jump is the Oval office, then you ARE someone, really!

MKK Re#75, Kerry screwed around on Leno and Letterman and lost, while to the best of my recollection GWB did no late-night horseplay and won. Jerry Ford did SNL, and never quite picked up the “coolness” gene. And didn’t Mr. Straight-Laced himself, President Richard Nixon, do a walk-on on Laugh-In?
Reagan and Thompson probably accumulated the most TV credits of any politicians in recent memory; perhaps now that Fred’s “lost his cool” in the S.C. Debate the presumed “cool factor” will kick in.
82 mindknumbed kid // Jan 11, 2008 at 10:03 pm
I don’t have a good memory. Was or wasn’t one of the sKerry/Edweirds campaign promises “catsup in every bottle” ?
83 mindknumbed kid // Jan 11, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I barely remember Laugh-In, but maybe it isn’t all just “being” on a “cool” show, but how the MSM/pop culture view the person in light of their “coolness” not just because they made an appearance, but that they are like rock stars.
I say there is a difference between how people reacted to Nixon on Laugh-In and Clinton on late night.
84 mindknumbed kid // Jan 11, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Something needs to “kick in”! I would like to see McCain dropping out, the sooner the better.

I am not a crook…..
You know though, ain’t no amount of TV at any time of the day that will make sKerry cool, hip, or bring him to “rock star” status. He ain’t no Willie Clinton….but then, who’d want to be ?

I learned my one new thing ,today,”Those Were The Days ” is a Russian song.Ain’t that somethin’?

I will have to say, MKK and James, that Hillary could be considered hip….um…hippy, speaking from similar personal attributes.
would Conjunction – Barak campaigning on unifying the country – he would conjunction. Not to be confused with Hillary’s ability to disjunction.
89 mindknumbed kid // Jan 11, 2008 at 11:14 pm
“Those Were the Days”, I can see that being Russian, or DNC lyrics. The good days are over, nothing to look forward to, we’re doomed. Might as well give up and die now, especially if the Republicans win the election again.

I think sHrillary could unify the country, at least the males, once she showed them her special lockbox everyone would fall in line.

JL3, thank you for restoring some very faded neurons!
MKK, some of those lyrics could be DNC. “Remember how we laughed away the hours / And dreamed of all the great things we would do” is clearly a “Living History” moment, and it’s probably possible to find CNN video of Hillary weeping “In the glass I saw a strange reflection / Was that lonely woman really me?”
I found it interesting these lyrics were posted on a dot-gov site; the Dem influence shouts in the big disclaimer near the top of that page.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!!! Obama, Kerry, Algore and affiliated gang members – refuse to acknowledge the truth even when slapped in the face with it.
Their “Manmade” Global Warming has been exposed as a hoax.
From DRUDGE today a small excerpt:
“…..even though the warmest year was back in 1998 and 2008 has begun with unusual weather such as a cool Pacific and Baghdad’s first snow in memory, experts said.
‘Global warming has not stopped,’ said Amir Delju, senior scientific coordinator of the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) climate program.”
Not only has the temperature plateaued since 1998, 2007 was in fact cooler than 2006. and the real scientist are looking for a return of the 1970’s cooling trend.
The real scientist rely on science – soothsayers, palm readers, phrenologists, tarot card readers, crystal ball gazers, and others of that ilk rely on their so called consensus; science can only deal with facts. Chicken little(Algore) was (and is) wrong! Even though Chicken little had what he thought was a fact (after all a piece of the sky hit him on the head). but when the “fact” was examined, it turned out to be an acorn.
Now that real scientists are examining Algore’s facts. It turns out that his facts aren’t facts after all. His award winning slide-show “An Inconvenient Truth” has instead been proven to be “An Inconvenient Lie”
The book; “The Politically Incorrect Guide to GLOBAL WARMING and Environmentalism” has all of the fine point details. Curly Q light bulbs are just a start – unless stopped in it’s tracks this nonsense will prove to be very costly to Americans, since China, India etc. are refusing to participate.

O/T~~
It borders on mind-boggling that Our Galaxy (specifically, the Hubble Telescope) would line up with the Light, emitted untold Billions of years ago, from another Three Galaxies to form what is known as a Double Einstein Ring.
BTW: NASA has renovated their site.
Thank you.

Hollywood: The producers of Late Night with Conan O’Brien have apologized for an apparent scheduling error. According to show staff, candidate John McCain was not referring to a musical group when he asked if he “… could bring the Jarvik-7.”

Re:88 C.A.T. I doubt if Hillary ever did conjunction very much,we know she would be worse at disjunctioning .And where would she be without the old conjunctioner himself ,Bill?

da Bunny: Re “In my view, he is an opportunist. He is using his former career as a minister to court evangelicals, and apparently it is working, but he is not a politically conservative candidate.”
As an aside, did you know you were describing Mitt Romney? He’s both a Priest and a Bishop (Minister) in his religion, and if the “Faith Speech” wasn’t intended “to court evangelicals” what was its purpose?
