    TOKYO (AFP) - Former US presidential contender Mike Huckabee urged his fellow Republicans on Wednesday not to denigrate Democrat Barack Obama, saying they should celebrate the historic moment of a black candidate.


    "Republicans will make a fundamental if not fatal mistake if they seek to win the election by demonising Barack Obama," Huckabee told a news conference on a visit to Tokyo.

    The former Arkansas governor said that, having grown up in the segregated South, he never thought he would see an African-American win the nomination of a major party for the US presidency.

    "I do not want to have anyone misrepresent or miss the opportunity to celebrate what I think is a landmark achievement, not just for Barack Obama, but for the United States of America," he said.

    The country was able "to get to a point where we did not see his colour but we truly saw his charisma, his message and what he brought to the campaign trail," Huckabee said.

    Huckabee, who won the first nomination contest in Iowa on the back of support from evangelical Christians, said he hoped Republican John McCain would defeat Obama but urged his party to highlight policy differences and not race.

    Huckabee said the troubled US economy would be the top campaign issue and doubted that Obama's race would come into play.

    "When people are really hurting -- and they are right now -- they're not looking at a person's race," he said.

    Huckabee declined comment on whether he wanted the vice presidential nomination, other than to say that McCain would be more likely to pick him if he chose to focus on winning over Southern and conservative voters.

    "You can't accept an invitation to the prom until the football captain asks you. So I'm not going to go out and buy the outfit just yet," Huckabee said.

    ******** News Update! *******

    McCain calls for offshore drilling
    In the race for the White House, Republican candidate John McCain supports ending the ban on offshore oil exploration and Democratic candidate Barack Obama opposes it.

    Speaking in Houston on Tuesday, McCain called for lifting the federal moratorium on offshore exploration and production as part of a plan help curb U.S. dependence on foreign oil. The Arizona senator also has proposed temporarily lifting a tax on gasoline over the summer to give consumer a break from soaring fuel prices.

    My Comment:

    Good for you Sen. McGame! America is finally taking some serious steps toward solving our fuel/gas problems! THANK YOU SIR for having the courage to standup to all the environmentalists political BS. Do what ya gotta do to get the ball rollin'! I'm sure it's not gonna solve all our problems regarding high fuel cost, but at least you're now making some command decisions! And that's what a real war hero does, BEAUTIFUL!!!

    Now, get to talking to Big Corp regarding part two of the play :

    To be sure the signers of the Declaration of Independence represented the enfranchised classes of Englishmen, but they also knew the difference between a republic and a kingdom and they understood the significance of a government based on a written consititution. Writing under a pseudonym in the Boston Gazette in 1774, John Adams both asserted the English origins of the new republic and its aspiration to something different when he famously quoted the English republican theorist James Harrington's call for an "Empire Of Laws And Not Of Men," strategically substituting the word "government" for Harrington's "empire." We have in the last seven years seen a sustained and often successful effort to replace that government of laws with something closer to the royal prerogative against which Harrington wrote in 1656.

    In this respect the Obama candidacy Is ... Not About An Individual ..., but about reasserting the distinction of a nation, membership in which is not hereditary but elective. To think of the unlikeliness of a similarly African-British, African-French, or African-German leader is on one level to be reminded of our peculiar national history and the role of slavery within it. But on another level it is in one fell-swoop to reassert the American exception the Bush administration has most assiduously suppressed -- that in America, citizenship -- in a technical sense -- is not by genetic inheritance or collective memory, but by subscription. "We the people" sign our names to a document that attempts to spell out and bind "a more perfect union." For us, this is the difference between being a subject and a citizen, and I suspect this reassertion is what remains truly revolutionary about us.

    I suspect it is the underlying prospect of a deeply willed renewal of our national subscription to the government of laws and not of men that has made the Obama candidacy so exhilarating both here and in Europe. But this exhilaration comes also because we hang now, in the interim, by a very finely spun thread. What is at stake in the coming election could not be more clearly drawn than it was in the Supreme Court's five to four affirmation of habeas corpus last week. Five to four! The next President will almost certainly choose two justices during his tenure. John McCain has already indicated that he will choose justices who resemble Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas -- that is, justices who will reverse Roe v. Wade; but such justices will also fail to uphold the real American exception: the citizens' subscription to checks and balances and to the written-out rule of law. Justice Stevens is 88 years old. May he live forever. But as we rejoice over the prospect that America will soon once again be a nation of hope in which the rule of law is re-affirmed, we need also to remember that we stand today but one vote away from the end of the line.

    Several weeks ago, I was clicking through John McCain's presidential campaign website. In the "Events" section I found a listing for a June 13 Townhall Meeting in Pemberton, New Jersey; I decided to attend.

    McCain did not pick me out of the crowd to ask a question on live TV, but I was able to speak with him as the event wound down.

    This is how it went:

    Right after the speech, I knew McCain would work the rope line. Since I was in the front row, it only took me about three steps to get there.

    I spoke loudly:

    "Senator McCain - I noticed you aren't wearing your flag lapel-pin. May I give you mine?"

    McCain: "Yes, sir, you can" (what else was he going to say? - he really wasn't wearing a flag pin.)

    now I had him front and center...

    "Senator, I spent four years in the Marines"

    McCain: "Thank you for your service."

    "Oh, no sir, thank you for yours. I have a feeling this is as close as I will ever come to pinning a medal on you." (said as I'm fastening the lapel pin) "Senator - you know our motto is Semper Fidelis - always faithful?"

    McCain: "Oh yes, I do"

    "Well have you always been faithful to Cindy McCain?"

    Deer-in-the-mother-fuching-headlights.

    McCain: "Oh no... that's not what I'm going to talk about."

    "Have you been faithful to your wife? You won't answer? C'mon - how 'bout a little of that straight talk?"

    (crowd beginning to get angry - hissing)

    McCain: "Young man, I will tell you that I have a son serving in Iraq in the Marines."

    "Yes - I know. I know a lot about you. Have you cheated on Cindy McCain? Why won't you answer?"

    McCain turned away.

    All of the aforementioned was caught on film and microphone by the networks. As far as I know, it has not been released and probably won't be.

    If you think that merely being wounded in a war makes you a hero, then you have to believe that getting killed in a war makes you a bigger hero. Nevertheless, this administration has prevented the press from filming the dead as they come back home in a flag draped coffin. Why would they deny us the privilege of welcoming our heroes home on camera as they are unloaded from the plane?

    • Posted By: cinesimon @ 06/16/2008 8:09:28 PM

      There can only be the one reason: to hide the truth from the public: war isn't a video game, nor any form of entertainment. People die. Along with hiding the coffins from the public, I find it shameful that the US hasn't even tried to figure out how many Iraqis died. It's as if they simply don't count in the scheme of things. I find the entire subject sickening, and ethically not the strategy of a civilized government.

      • Posted By: onepoker @ 06/16/2008 9:32:54 PM

        Out of respect for our soldiers they ask that the coffins not be photographed. As for the Iraqi dead the US learned in Vietnam that enemy head counts don't help your cause.

        • Posted By: cinesimon @ 06/16/2008 11:29:10 PM

          crock

          • Posted By: onepoker @ 06/17/2008 3:56:30 PM

            The real reason the coffins aren't shown is the administration is afraid some dumb airman will be photographed not properly respecting the coffins and soldiers with in them and it will make the evening news. There is precedent for this fear. We don't want to subject the families of a fallen soldier to images of a careless soldier making a disrespectful mistake. Its that simple. no big conspiracy to hide the dead just basic human decency.

    In this, John McCain showed himself during his 1992 Senate campaign to be not an independent maverick, but a dyed-in-the-wool Republican woman-hater, fully in line with his cohorts. Netroots author Cliff Schecter got the goods in his upcoming book, "The Real McCain", and Raw Story has the sneak preview:


    Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you ***." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

    Can the nation really stand, after 8 years of Yosemite Bush, the reign of Colonel Tigh? Can we survive a guy so sensitive to criticism that he can't even handle a little teasing from the woman who's seen his back hair without viciously unloading on her in front of reporters and senior staff? How's he going to handle negotiations with foreign leaders? Ugh......this is totally unacceptabel and appalling...if the rest of us would not ever think of EVER doing this to ANYBODY, how can somebody like this be allowed to lead our country which is full of men/women of many races, religions, ethniciites...better to be dull than a misogynist, chauvinistic pig like mcbush!!!!

  • Posted By: arbite @ 06/16/2008 10:13:57 PM

    McCain's problem is that he does not represent the interests of the American people, but the lobbyists who have staffed and funded his campaign.

    • Posted By: onepoker @ 06/17/2008 10:05:39 AM

      Yawn- Lobbyists are people too. they aren't evil they are paid advocates for constituent beliefs. Liberals have lobbyists that want to keep Roe vs Wade Businesses have lobbyists that want to protect their interests, I know its the hip thing to bash lobbyists but they are nothing more than advocates for particular ideas and the best part of lobbyists is the politicians know exactly where the lobbyists are comming from because they know who pays the lobbyists check.

    **Breaking** Fred Hobbs Apologizes
    Fred Hobbs, the embattled member of the Tennessee Democratic Executive Committee, who last week wondered aloud to the City Paper as to whether or not Sen. Obama had ties to terrorism, has seen the error of his ways and written a letter to his colleagues on the committee:


    I am writing to apologize for my recent remarks about Senator Barack Obama. My statements to various Nashville media were wrong and offensive. I apologize if my remarks in any way hurt any of our great Democratic candidates, including Senator Obama. Also, I apologize if my comments embarrassed our state or my friends at the Tennessee Democratic Party.

    I was not as well prepared as I should have been when speaking with reporters, and I should have taken more time to research Senator Obama's positions. My comments did reflect questions I had after what I had seen reported on... "Fox News" ..., but I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I saw on television before speaking publicly. My statement that Senator Obama "may be terrorist-connected" was incorrect, and I apologize for making it.

    As a lifelong Democrat, I believe in the values and ideals of the Democratic Party. I am honored to represent the 13th Senatorial District, and I look forward to working with Senator Obama, each of you, and every Democrat in the 13th District to elect Democrats this November.

    Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background.

    In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya.
    Barack Obama's brother Malik Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture."

    There has been a phrase extant in the public dialogue for several decades concerning the Democratic Party. In sum it says that the core of Democratic Party voters would vote for a yellow dog if that dog were to be placed on the ballot. Barak Hussein Obama is that yellow dog. He has been in the US Senate for three years, has the most liberal voting record in the Senate, and is the left wing version of the Know Nothings. The fact that the moveon.org/San Francisco/Marin County/Manhattan/West Los Angeles/latte sipping wing of the party seems to have, by a narrow margin, selected him to represent the Dems is really -- unbelievable. In an election year when almost anyone with a capital D after his name should have been able to waltz into the Oval Office unescorted, the Dems choose that year to offer a black guy with an African Moslem father, an Indosnesian Moslem step-father and who apparently missed that part of high school history when they discussed the Potsdam Conference re who was going to occupy what in post-war Europe. Obama is a guy who missed quite a bit growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia -- he missed becoming American. There is a certain degree of American-ness required to be elected President of the United States. Obama doesn???t have it.

        You sound like a phucking idiot. The code words you used to display your bigotry, your racism, and your outright ignorance were BLACK GUY and AFRICAN. You don't know $hit about politics, and you sure don't know *** about Obama.
        You and holywater keep your guns loaded. Maybe you can both blow your heads off after Obama becomes President. Dumbass.

    Many will be sorry if we fail to elect this genuine hero who though old and not telgenic, still has the spirit of the hero and the fighter in him whose only ambition it seems is to do what is best for our nation. I am speaking about John S. McCain and urge all those sitting on the fence not to repeat the mistakes of the past and elect style over substance.

    With Obama we simply do not know what we are getting. What we have learned from his freinds and associates over the years (Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, members of the PLO, radical Marxists) offers a glimpse at the danger he portends while singing his sweet song.

      So you use 3 people from his past and what somebody in Hamas once said about him, that his enemies have pushed and pushed. Compelling argument! You REALLY win that round! I also urge those on the fence to not contribute to a repetition of mistakes of the recent past, and vote into power another person who is willfully ignorant of other people's cultures, and uses that ignorance as a reason why America is so superior to the rest of the world. He also uses the ignorance of the American people, firing untrue propaganda at them to keep them scared. He supports the type of person such as his pastor who thinks Hitler was sent by god to kill the the Jewish people in order that they be herded to Israel. He has no understanding of the middle east, about the same as Bush. He supports the current administration who've abused the constitution and the Bill Of Rights, who spy on American citizens and have falsely imprisoned thousands of people. They kidnap people from sovereign countries throughout Europe, and the CIA has been and still is, under investigation in numerous countries for just that. To me, the biggest crime the current administration, which includes McCain, is that they DO NOT value the lives of anybody but Americans. Iraqi, Afghani lives, have NO value to them, unless of course the life can he put to use to further their interests. They cover up war crimes committed by US soldiers and soldiers of fortune paid by the likes of Blackwater. There are presidential orders ruling a blanket ban on discussing the at least 17 cases against American corporations accused of stealing from Iraq. They laugh off the billions of dollars overcharged by the corporations - they're STEALING money from America, and McCain supports them. This is only the tip of the iceberg of an administration, that is McCain were voted in, would remain in power and wonder, as would I, how the American voter can be so gullible. John McCain used to be a valued leader with principles and integrity. He has blatantly sold his values out in order to gain power, and got to this point because the Republican party saw him as the one person who may win them the election. Problem is, his own words, not those of others, have already condemned him. Hid turn around and loss of independent thinking is the only signal people need that he is one of the most obvious puppets ever put up for president. One issue he actually has stuck to: he would make moves to ban abortion. Anybody who's not in either a corporation that benefits from the war policies, right wing political institution or right wing church, if they vote for McCain, are essentially voting against there own interests - the people he supports and who support him are stealing from you, lying to you, and many of them are laughing at you for your support.

        Go Mccain Go! Just to clarify a few points Mccain is anything but a friend to the corporations and even though George Bush has made some mistakes he is not evil either. Most Americans are aware of this so I wont waste anymore of your time. If you think our soldiers are criminals your an idiot the vast majority of them are good and decent individuals working hard to free Iraq from Al Qaida and some Militia's that have developed a foothold thanks to military blunders that General Petreaus is working to correct. Mistakes were made lets not compound them by electing a leader who lacks experience and has shown terrible judgement in the friends he keeps.

        • Posted By: cinesimon @ 06/16/2008 7:55:32 PM

          SOME US soldiers are criminals. The issue I raise is that bush And Company have covered the crimes SOME soldiers have committed. You do know that Al Qaida etc only came to Iraq after the US invaded? McCain USED to be independaent. He is now no longer, that is plain for all to see. It's interesting he points to two things: Obama is a risk, and look at his past accomplishments. That's all well and good, and yes he has done good work. He has very quickly wiped the old McCain off the table - nobody can deny that. His past statements which were well thought out and reasonable, have been contradicted by him time and again, with the republican party line, which he used to break with when his conscience demanded it. He simply isn't that man anymore. If he was, he wouldn't be a candidate today. Regarding the company Obama keeps: get real. You only look at the negative, not the positive. To gain real insight(and credibility as a worthy debate opponent), you need to look at the entire picture, not just the bits you like. Do that and you have no argument.

            Al quaida came to Iraq after we removed Saddam I am aware of this. They wanted to fight Americans and they saw an opportunity in Iraq. Just because they weren't there before doesn't mean we should not fight them. We brought these guys down on the Iraqi population some of them naively welcomed them but now they are seeing what we knew all along that Al quaida is bad. The amount of US military criminals in Iraq is very low. Even in the notorious Abu Graib scandal our so called criminals merely humiliated the enemy through improper training and sadistic tendancies of a few soldiers who were punished. I do not agree with the way the prisoners were treated but to call Americans criminals from a few isolated instances is just stupid. How many Terrorists have beheaded Iraqi citizens, How many local militias are engaged in activities outside the law. Our guys try and play it straight and once in a while we have a bad apple usually those apples get weeded out rather quickly. By the way I don't consider any of our guys criminals that have accidently killed civilians or even that have killed civilians in a blind rage in the middle of an attack. Its a war bad things happen. You can bet of all the occupying forces in the history of the world Americans treat the locals with more respect and dignity than any other army ever has.

            • Posted By: cinesimon @ 06/16/2008 9:34:06 PM

              Correct - if it's accidental, it's not intended and not murder. But there is a case for negligent homicide, which Bush et al have not allowed to happen. Iraqis on the whole do not get justice when they're wronged. But there have been a few cover ups that you'll never see reported in the USA, of Americans not only barging into houses as we've all seen looking for the bogeyman, but barging in and shooting anything that moves. If you believe what you just said about Abu Graib, then with respect, that's incredibly naive. I hope not willfully.

              • Posted By: onepoker @ 06/17/2008 10:40:57 AM

                barging in doors and shooting everythng that moves is necessary when you are fighting an enemy that hides in houses and snipes through small holes in walls. Sometimes our enemy uses civilians for shields in direct firefights and they always use civillians as cover for their regular operations. Killing people in war is not negligent homicide even innocent people. Our guys take extraordinary precautions not to kill the civillians but accidents happen. You can't prosecute soldiers for decisions made in a split second under fire. On Abu Graib yea it was terrible even criminal but the people responsible have been dealt with. You can't characterize our entire army as criminal because of the actions of a few idiots pulling fraternity style torture on the enemy. We weren't sawing these guys hands off or electrocuting them our soldiers were breaking them down psychologically and they went to far.

    Looks like more and more people are searching for the REAL Hussein Obama.......and don't forget limo ridin' good buddy, Larry Sinclair tells, HIS story today at the NATIONAL PRESS CLUB.......

    ???Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee member Fred Hobbs tells The City newspaper in Nashville, ???I don???t exactly approve of a lot of the things he stands for ??? and I???m not sure we know enough about him. He???s got some bad connections, and he may be terrorist connected for all I can tell. It sounds kind of like he may be.???

    Hobbs was giving an interview to the paper about fellow Tennessee Congressman and Democratic superdelegate Lincoln Davis, who has not yet declared his support for Obama.

    Reacting to Hobbs, Davis??? Chief of Staff Beecher Frasier says he does not know for sure if Obama is terrorist connected, but he assumes he is not.???

    NOBAMA!!!

    Senator McCain: You've pushed back against the assertion that you want to stay in Iraq for the next hundred years. You've said that as long as we aren't taking casualties, a presence like that in Korea or Germany is fine with you. You've said the surge is working, that casualties are down, that we are winning the war in Iraq...

    In the end, it sounds to me like you are saying that if we win the war in Iraq, if we aren't taking casualties... we stay... (after all, according to you, bringing the troops home isn't important...)

    But...

    If we get our asses handed to us in Iraq - if we suffer a lot of casualties - we must win the war, so... we stay...

    You haven't shared with the American people what conditions must prevail for American troops to come home. Can you set forth the conditions you would require to pull all combat and combat support troops out of Iraq?"

    LWOL
    Ha Ha Ha Ho HO HO HE HE HE

    Extend the PAIN with your vote for McCain

    Being a president of the US is the most stressful and demanding job in the world. It is a simple fact that someone in McCain's health condition at 72 years old wouldn't have the stamina to be an effective president. Thats the exact reason why Senator Dole lost the election.

      In 300 million people their best hope is John McCain, who can't remember WTF he said yesterday. Take a look at him here....

    The advantage Clinton had that Obama doesn't is he was the incumbent. Once McCain gets Obama on the stage with him in a debate. Which will be whenever Obama stops running from McCain. We will all see who the better man is.
