I’m encouraging my rad lefty friends to vote for Nader or McKinney. If it worked for Bush, maybe it will work for McCain…

I don’t like Nader, but he’s better than Obama. He cares, at least some of the time, about a fair deal for the American consumer, though he has no idea about how to attain it.
Obama, like all radicals, just cares about power for him and his mates and extending state control into every nook and cranny of autonomous civil society.

Why are people ignoring me? I find it very revealing….

This reminds me of the following quote:

“I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don’t even invite me.”

“Do you really want to be on the same side as Alan Dershowitz, Colin Powell and Christopher Hitchens?”

I suspect that he simply means that, once you’ve been on the same side as Saddam Hussein and Mullar Omar, second best will no longer do.

Yes Newton, Pasteur, Fleming all these dead white men would vote for Herr Doktor Proffessor Obama whom I doubt can solve an O-Level calculus problem.

lasse: That is quite good. Imagine what McCain/Palin would have made of Fleming who discovered Penicillian through the study of bread mold.

Note: Should note that the original demagouge on govt. spending for scientific research was Senator William Proxmire, a liberal Democrat from Wisconsin. Back in the 1970s, Sen. Proxmire had a monthly Golden Fleece Award for what he considered to be the dumbest expenditure of money by the Federal Govt. This started out well, but the need to find a new subject every month that could be made into headlines led Proxmire over several years to concentrate on attacking scientific research projects that could be easily ridiculed. For several years Proxmire went his merry way wrecking various research projects until one scientist who has lost his research grant due to Proxmire’s attacks sued him for libel. I believe they settled out of court with Proxmire paying the scientist a good deal of money. After that Proxmire’s attacks on govt. funding of research projects came to an end.

Hitchens article on Palin. It was guite good on McCain and Palin’s contempt for science as well as Palin’s nuttiness.

What fun the Palin/McCain team could have had with Newton, “study falling apples, I’m not kidding you”.
