John McCain

1--John McCain Votes to Filibuster Minimum Wage Hike
AOL News is highly ranked on John McCain, and the minimum wage increase was incredibly popular.

2--John McCain housing policy shaped by lobbyist
This article emphasizes how corporate special interests have formed McCain’s economic policy. If it becomes the top ranked MSNBC article, it will appear in the top ten searches for McCain nationwide.

3--Bush, John McCain plug Social Security
Seniors are going to be the key swing vote in this election, and they hate Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security. This is the best polling message against McCain of all, which isn’t surprising since our victory on Social Security is how began to turn the tide against Republicans and conservatives three years ago. The headline alone ties McCain to Bush, and this article already ranks very high on searches for McCain Social Security.

4--John McCain blasts Obama’s and Clinton’s attacks on NAFTA
This is a great article because it not only ties McCain to NAFTA, which is quite unpopular, but it also draws a contrast between McCain and Democrats on the issue. The LA Times is also in the top twenty searches for John McCain.

5--John McCain in NH: Would Be "Fine" To Keep Troops in Iraq for "A Hundred Years"
McCain’s "100 years" statement ha damaged him already, and this article has already been significantly optimized on Google. While Mother Jones is not an ideal news source, it is the top article for this quote, and appears in the top thirty searches for John McCain already.

6--John McCain: Bush right to veto kids health insurance expansion
This is my personal favorite. The headline just makes McCain look like an asshole, and ties him to Bush. Who is opposed to health insurance for kids? CNN also is in the top ten searches for McCain and John McCain A lot of people will see this one.

7--Senate passes expanded GI bill despite Bush, John McCain opposition
While I am not thrilled about using Salon, since it isn’t as well known, and since there is an advertising wall that hides the story, the title is damaging enough. McCain’s opposition to the GI Bill really hurts him, and tying him to Bush is just as bad. This title does both in a clear, straightforward manner.

8--John McCain says overturn the law that legalized abortion
Pretty straightforward, and extremely important. More than half of all women voters think that McCain is pro-choice. This will quickly change their minds.

9--John McCain Defends Bush's Iraq Strategy
The classic McCain SEO, that still appears in top thirty searches for McCain and John McCain. It is also proof positive that this campaign will work, because it appears as the second CBS news article, but still on the front page in Google searches just below the CBS election center information on John McCain. That is all we need to do to get it on the front page of searches about McCain--optimize it against other CBS articles. Also, even though this SEO campaign was abandoned fifteen months ago, it still ranks in the top forty in McCain searches. If a fifteen month old campaign is still that effective, imagine what we can do with enough participation in this campaign.

What am I doing?

oh yeah...

3 Detectives Acquitted in Bell Shooting

By MICHAEL WILSON

Published: April 26, 2008

The detectives were found not guilty on all felony and misdemeanor charges in the November 2006 death of Sean Bell, who died in a hail of 50 police bullets outside a club in Queens.

I could probably better tolerate the breathless recurring coverage of the deadly shark attack if it weren't for the following:

• a person can stay out of the ocean where the sharks are
• that makes a shark attack an avoidable situation
  

• a person can not reasonably stay out of public areas where the police are
• this makes a police attack an unavoidable situation

One of these circumstances are much more likely to affect your average news consumer. I will not 'spot' you any guesses. I'll just inform you of the high improbability that 12% of the entire U.S. population is in the ocean.

I'm waiting...

...for the primary to be over because it is consuming my life (this is what happens when you get involved with actual campaign work).

For our faux news visitors/NYPost readers:

HEADLINE - Kentucky congressman calls Obama "boy".

This is my complete lack of amazement. (hint: click the word 'this')

This is the lame 'explanation'.

Watch it.

Keith Olbermann's special comment.

I'll have it up as soon as it is available.

Keith's diary from DailyKos

Laughter soothes...

I won't say it heals in this case for obvious reasons.



Also, this isn't the first time she has mouthed off in that manner, here's what she said 20 years ago about Jesse Jackson:

And former representative Geraldine A. Ferraro (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that because of his "radical" views, "if Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn't be in the race."

Asked about this at a campaign stop in Buffalo, Jackson at first seemed ready to pounce fiercely on his critics. But then he stopped, took a breath, and said quietly, "Millions of Americans have a point of view different from" Ferraro's.

Discussing the same point in Washington, Jackson said, "We campaigned across the South . . . without a single catcall or boo. It was not until we got North to New York that we began to hear this from Koch, President Reagan and then Mrs. Ferraro . . . . Some people are making hysteria while I'm making history."

Gleefully jacked from DailyKos who reprinted it from the April 15, 1988 Washington Post

Racist on day one.

Are you fucking serious?!

She's been sick?

She's on medication?

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

I don't care if your being beat upside the fucking skull with the ass end of a '72 Buick. You (or anyone apologizing for you) can NOT use that as a got damn excuse. Think about what they are asking you to accept.

Allow me to paraphrase .

Since she is in pain, she's probably cranky and short tempered and less likely to invest the time to sugar coat her statements or tell the necessary social 'white lies' to get along in public.

Ummm... I'll take kiss my black ass for $2000.

That means that she is normally thinking and living in that mind state.

Fuck you Geraldine, eat a dick and choke.

Find out for yourself... here.
