B’Man’s Hypocrite Watch: I Believe Him, What About You?

Vicar hospitalised with potato up his bum

Friday, October 31, 2008

A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.

The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game.

He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.

A&E nurse Trudi Watson told the paper: “He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.

“But it’s not for me to question his story.”

She went on to reveal other objects removed from people’s derriére, including a cucumber, a Russian doll and a carnation.

Freaky Sex Friday: (InSpot) Internet Notification Service for Partners or Tricks

Just what we need. An internet connection service that gives people a place to let their partner or trick know they gave them a ‘present’.

Nothing like up close and personal service AFTER the up close and personal service.

About InSpot

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are more common than you know. In the U.S. alone, there are 15 million new cases each year. Talking to your sex partners, even virtually, helps take away the stigma associated with STDs. AND it’s scientifically proven to reduce transmission.

** Did you know that some of these STDs make it 6-10 times more likely to transmit HIV from an infected person to his or her sex partner – no matter who has the STD first?

TIPS ABOUT THE SITE

• Notify everyone you’ve had sex with in the past six months. Oral sex counts, too.
• Try looking through your old emails and your online address book to complete the list.
• If you decide to compose a personal message, put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Think about how you were told—what you liked and what you didn’t—and put the best of it into words.
• You don’t have to provide detailed medical info—this email card will automatically provide links to what they need to know.
• You can send postcards anonymously or from your email address. Historically, when you tell a sex partner(s) yourself, it’s more likely s.he will “hear” the message and get tested.
• No information will be collected or shared with any public or private agency.

The site was developed by Internet Sexuality Information Services, Inc. (I.S.I.S). We would especially like to thank our community advisory board for this project.

I.S.I.S., Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to developing and using Internet technologies to prevent disease transmission and enhance the sexual well-being of individuals and communities. Our mission is to provide leadership, innovation, educational resources and research in online sexual health promotion.

Ok– I confess, this is SO like me! lol

……. well at least it’s like me being ‘tech challenged’…

War For The Whitehouse: Struggling Lower-Class

Still Unsure How Best To Fuck Selves With Vote

October 30, 2008

WASHINGTON—As election day nears, millions of the nation’s poorest voters have reportedly yet to settle on the most profound and enduring way to completely fuck themselves over when they head to the polls this year.

“On the one hand, I’m pretty sure Barack Obama will undermine my best interests by maintaining the same centrist, pro-corporate policies of previous Democratic administrations,” said Jim Estey, 34, a recently laid-off assembly-line worker. “Conversely, I agree with McCain and Palin on abortion, which might just balance out the fact that they’ll further marginalize people like me by supporting deregulation and slashing social programs. So it’s pretty much a toss-up at this point.”

Though such behavior appears to directly undermine their own well-being, lower-income voters have historically supported candidates determined to screw them six ways to Sunday, including Bill Clinton, who incarcerated them in record numbers and cut the welfare benefits many depended on for day-to-day sustenance, and George W. Bush, who widened the gap between them and the rich and sent thousands of them to die in Iraq. This year’s election is reportedly unique in that the nation’s poor must not only weigh how deeply and painfully their chosen candidate will penetrate their rectums, but must also consider unforeseen outside circumstances—such as economic collapse and terrorism—that might allow the next president to bend them over and brutally rape them in ways they never thought possible.

The latest polls indicate that a majority of lower-class citizens might choose not to vote at all Nov. 4, preferring instead to leave the details of how they get fucked to the moneyed classes.

Twelve Reasons to Reject Obama and Support Nader/McKinney

Read at World Prout Assembly, I found an article that lays out, quite concisely, the main issues that form my opinion of Mr Obama. I believe that Mr Obama has changed some of his views for political expediency (which, to me, is worse than those who stick to what appear to me to be foolish ideas). I can respect someone who truly believes something contrary to my belief, IF I know they are truthful about their rationale and purpose. In the case of Mr Obama, he has said and done some things before that now has changed (to fit a militaristic strategy). It is also true with universal, Single-payer healthcare.

That has basically disappeared with a nuance of “more affordable” healthcare that endures the Insurance companies keep a cut of the pie.

Many people are clinging to “hope” for “change”, but they deny what their chosen candidate says and does that is antithetical to hope and change. Many good, sound people cling to a hollow “hope”. A hope that Barack, himself, says quite frequently that “we” will do together. WTF is this “we” shit?

The only thing “we” can do is voice our thoughts to our representatives (which, in many cases means exactly Jack Shit) and we can vote in and out the people we want to DO the shit we want done.

So, I keep asking myself why in the hell people are either blind or willing to not hope for change, but more aptly, “hope” for “hope” that something will change. Duh! Why can’t we toss the blinders of the MSM and see the truth for what it is? Why can’t we then ask, “who truly wants to DO the shit we need done”?

They are out there, but so many of you are ear deep in the BS… you are drowning in hope for change that simply will not come from the one you place your hope in. His own words and advisors say this very plainly. Yet, you act as if it isn’t true. As if the Savior has a hidden agenda AFTER he winds the election.

Jeezus, people. It is always the same.

World Prout Assembly
Oct 28, 2008

10/29/08 – “WPA” – The presidential elections in the US, once again, provide an acid test of the integrity and consequential conduct of US intellectuals. If it is the duty and responsibility of the public intellectual to speak truth to power, the recent statements of most of our well-known and prestigious public pundits have failed miserably. Instead of highlighting, exposing and denouncing the reactionary foreign and domestic policies of Democratic Party candidate Senator Barack Obama, they have chosen to support him, ‘critically, offering as excuses that even ‘limited differences’ can result in positive outcomes,and that ‘Obama is the lesser evil’ and ‘creates an opportunity for a possibility of change.’

What makes these arguments untenable is the fact that Obama’s public pronouncements, his top policy advisers, and the likely policymakers in his government have openly defined a most bellicose foreign policy and a profoundly reactionary domestic economic policy totally in line with Paulson-Bush-Wall Street. On the major issues of war, peace, the economic crisis and the savaging of the US wage and salaried class, Obama promises to extend and deepen the policies which the majority of Americans reject and repudiate.

Twelve Reasons to Reject Obama

1. Obama publicly and repeatedly promises to escalate the US military intervention in Afghanistan, increasing the number of US troops, expanding their operations and engaging in systematic cross-border attacks. In other words, Obama is a greater warmonger than Bush.

2. Obama publicly has declared that his regime will extend the ‘war against terrorism’ by systematic, large-scale ground and air attacks on Pakistan, thus escalating the war to include villages, towns and cities deemed sympathetic to the Afghan resistance.

3. Obama opposes the withdrawal of US troops in Iraq in favor of redeployment; the relocation of US troops from combat zones to training and logistical positions, contingent on the military capability of the Iraqi Army to defeat the resistance. Obama opposes a clearly defined deadline to withdraw US forces from Iraq because US troops in Iraq are essential to pursuing his overall policies in the Middle East, which include military confrontations with Iran, Syria and Southern Lebanon.

4. Obama has declared his unconditional support for the position of the pro-Israel Lobby and the colonial expansionist and bellicose policies of the Jewish state. He has promised to back Israeli military attacks whatever the cost to the US. His abject servility to Israel was evident in his speech at the annual AIPAC conference in Washington 2008. Top advisers who have long and notorious links to the top echelons of the principle Zionist propaganda mills and the Presidents of the Leading Jewish American Organizations wrote the speech and formulate

his Middle East policy.

5. Obama has promised to attack Iran if it continues to process uranium for its nuclear programs. Twice, just weeks before the elections, Obama’s running mate Joseph Biden spelled out a series of ‘points of conflict’ (including Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and North Korea) emphasizing that Obama ‘would respond forcefully’. Obama’s senior Middle East advisers include leading Zionists like Dennis Ross, closely linked to the ‘Bipartisan Policy Center’, which published a report serving as a blueprint for war with Iran. Obama’s proposed offer to negotiate with Iran is little more than a pretext for issuing an ultimatum to Iran to surrender its sovereignty or face massive military assault.

6. Obama unconditionally supports Israel’s expulsion of Palestinians and the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the leading cause of Middle East hostility, warfare and the discredit of US policy in the region. With three dozen Israel-Firsters among his leading campaign organizers, top policy advisers, speech writers and among the likely candidates for cabinet positions, there is virtually no hope of ‘influencing from within’ or ‘applying popular pressure’ to change Obama’s slavish submission to the Zionist Power Configuration. By supporting Obama, the “progressive intellectuals” are, in effect, allies of his Zionist mentors.

7. On the domestic front, Obama’s key economic advisers have impeccable Wall Street credentials. He gave unquestioning and immediate endorsement to Treasury Secretary Paulson’s $700 billion dollar taxpayer bailout of the richest investment banks in the US. Obama has failed to challenge Paulson or the banks over the use of Federal funds for buyouts and acquisitions instead of loans and credit to producers and homeowners. Obama’s backing of Paulson and the Wall Street bailout is matched by his meager proposals to suspend mortgage foreclosures for a three-month period, pending re-negotiations of interest payments. Obama proposes to escalate transfers of government funds to mismanaged financial institutions and bankrupt capitalist corporations, in efforts to save failed capitalism rather than pursue any new large-scale, long-term public investment programs which will generate well-paid employment for workers.

8. Obama’s economic team has openly declared their embrace and practice of ‘free market’ ideology and opposition to any effort to engage in large-scale injections of government funds in publicly-owned productive activity and social services in the face of wide-spread private sector failure, corruption and collapse.

9. Obama embraces failed private sector health plans, run and controlled by corporate insurance companies, conservative medical and hospital associations and Big Pharma. He publicly rejects a universal national health program modeled after the successful Federal Medicare program in favor of inefficient, state-subsidized private for profit plans that are costly and beyond the means of over one third of US families.

10. Obama is and continues to be an advocate for Big Agro and its highly subsidized and profitable ethanol program, which has increased food prices for millions in the US and for hundreds of millions in the world.

11. Obama advocates continuing the criminal embargo on Cuba, hostile confrontation with Venezuela’s populist President Chavez and other Latin American reformers and the duplicitous policy of promoting protectionism at home and free market access to Latin America. His key policy advicers on Latin America propose cosmetic changes in style and diplomacy but unrelenting support for re-asserting US hegemony.

12. Obama has not proposed, nor do his free market advisers and billionaire financial backers envision, any comprehensive plan or strategy to get us out of the deepening recession. On the contrary, the course of piecemeal measures presented by Obama are internally inconsistent: Fiscal austerity is incompatible with job creation; bailing out Wall Street drains funds from productive investment; and pursuing new wars undermine domestic recovery.

CONCLUSION

The intellectuals who, in the name of ‘realism’, support a politician who publicly and openly embraces new wars, billionaire bailouts and for profit, private sector-run health programs are repudiating their own claims as ‘responsible critics’. They are what C. Wright Mills called ‘crackpot realists’, abdicating their responsibility as critical intellectuals. In purporting to support the ‘lesser evil’ they are promoting the ‘greater evil’: The continuation of four more years of deepening recession, colonial wars and popular alienation. Moreover, they are allies of the mass media, major parties and the legal system which has marginalized or outright excluded the alternative candidates, Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney, who do speak out and oppose the war, the pro-Wall Street bailouts and propose genuine large-scale public investment in the domestic economy, a universal single payer health program, sustainable and pro-environment economic policies and large-scale, long-term income redistributive policies.

What is crass and unacceptable is the argument of these intellectuals, (an insignificant pimple on the Democratic donkey’s rear-end)that for a single moment believe that their ‘critical support’ of the Obama political machine will open space for radical ideas. The Zionists and civilian militarists totally control Obama’s war policy in the Middle East: There will be no space for peace with Iran, Palestine, Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iraq. Wall Street controls the Obama’s financial policy: There will be no space for some Cambridge progressive to sneak in a handout for families losing their homes.

If multi-million trade union treasuries have spent a hundred million dollars on each presidential campaign have failed to secure a single piece of progressive legislation in over 50 years, isn’t it delusional for our progressive ‘public intellectuals’ to imagine that they, in their splendid organizational isolation, can ‘pressure’ President Obama to renounce his advisers, backers and public defense of military escalation, to see his way to peace with Iran and to promote social justice for our workers and unemployed?

Why Is Capable Government Required In America?

The right-wing ideologues have been preying on Americans for so long we have become brainwashed by their incessant lies and enuendo. We have become complacent, believeing that these fools who call Government overbloated and too big or too much in American’s lives as truth, when, in fact, it is the very people (adequate people, I should say) who are to protect us from all enemies (even those found in food products from overseas, especially China).

But what does Bush and his corrupt clan do to protect us?

NOTHING.

Please view this BrassCheckTV video (at least the first 5 minutes) to see how the US government is complicit in allowing Chinese melamine tainted food onto our shelves at stores. We are the ONLY country that hasn’t banned these food stuffs from China.

Very telling, indeed.

Take this seriously and pass it along

In China, ANYTHING made with Chinese-manufactured milk powder before September 14th was PULLED from their store shelves.

In the US, this garbage is still being sold!

Note: Brasscheck TV has found independent verification of all the claims in this video.

Source: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/462.html

Foods at risk: ANY food manufactured in China and potentially any food containing milk powder. US food manufacturers imported millions of pounds of milk powder from China before September 14th. The FDA continues to allow to be sold.

This includes chocolate, cookies, cakes, and even things like packaged macaroni and cheese.

Background

Mike Mozart is a product designer who also runs a video blog about new developments in the toy industry.

His reviews are normally light, cheerful affairs and completely apolitical.

If he appears distraught, it’s because he is. This is serious.

Mozart has discovered that the US is the ONLY country that still permits potentially melamine-contaminated food on its shelves. Even China has removed these products from its stores.

That’s right. This poison that killed and injured thousands of people, mainly children, may be in US food. We’re the only country that hasn’t pulled it from its shelves.

There is a lot of background information on the melamine contamination issue found here. This is bigger than anyone is letting on and since every other industrialized country, including China, have taken the precautions to protect the people, is there any reason whatsoever that our fools in charge are NOT pulling this shit from our shelves?

Here’s what you need to know

Here are the indisputable facts of this case:

1. Chinese manufacturers are known to have added melamine to powdered milk products including baby food.

2. Melamine is not a permitted food additive in any country. It is an industrial product and is often contaminated with other toxins.

It damages the kidneys and is particularly dangerous, even fatal, to small children and infants.

3. Every other country on earth – including China – has removed all products made with Chinese-manufactured milk powder from their stores.

4. The FDA and the Bush Administration has made the US the only country on earth to have opted to leave these potentially tainted products on store shelves.

5. The FDA and the Bush administration knows that millions of pounds of Chinese-manufactured milk powder was imported into the US in the last twelve months.

6. It knows exactly what companies imported this material and the food manufacturers that used it know exactly what batches of their products this material is in.

7. The FDA and the Bush Administration further knows that:

a) injury and death associated with consumption of products containing melamine will not take place immediately (except perhaps in the case of infants) and

b) it will be practically impossible for sufferers of this tainted food to attribute their injuries to specific products since weeks, months or even years might pass between ingestion and symptoms.

Summary

By leaving these food products on store shelves, the FDA and the Bush Administration is deliberately risking serious harm to US consumers, no doubt hoping that because of the nature of the poisoning that they will be able get away with it and thus avoid the political consequences of a mass nationwide recall.

Please share this information with friends, family members and colleagues so they can make an informed decision about what they eat.

Knowing the parties involved – the Chinese government, the FDA, the Bush administration, the US news media, and corporate America – you can be sure that none of them can be trusted to look out for your welfare.

Avoid ALL food products manufactured in China and any product that contains milk powder that does not disclose its source. (Egg powder is also being identified as a potential source of this contamination.)

WTF Thursday: In Palin We Trust

Linked by Alternet, I read this blog post at Socialogical Images about a Palin Look-alike contest at a Nevada Strip Club. Funny and the ladies aren’t too bad.

There will be those who consider this sexist or whatever, but I believe all is fair in love and politics. The fact is that this woman has made her entire career using this very same sexual exploitation and you women know it. So don’t go there to defend her.

Speaking for myself, I do not think the woman is all that attractive. She is pretty, yes, but being attractive means more to me. Being “attractive” means that people want to be around or close to you. I wouldn’t spend 2 minutes with this maniac, Palin. And even if she isn’t a maniac, she is a calculating scurge that is simply playing a role that was thrust upon her. Her entire career, from what I have read has been nothing but lies and using other’s power and influence to go places (like the Governor’s mansion).

I am not fooled by it. I am not fooled into thinking that her hunting makes her anything special. An ability to shoot animals from a helicopter doesn’t show me anything attractive, but causes me to want to run the other way.

Yet, there are men who want to spend time with her (for whatever reason). I don’t get it, because I have had the luxury (if we could call it that) of spending ‘time’ with some of the most beautiful women around (there was a time I was considered a “catch”, myself) and what I inevitably found out is that they use whatever beauty they have to cover up shortfalls in other areas (usually intellect or passion).

To this old man, attractiveness is so much more than a pretty body and face. It is the actual desire to want to spend other, less physical time with the person that means more to me.

Grudge-f*cking is no longer a worthy goal for this old man. But it appears McBush has no qualms with it. Must be that 24 hour Levitra.

Actually not all of Alaska likes Palin— & more

Go to this link and read the article and see photos. It is very interesting.

Mississippi and Tennessee Taking More Job Loses

Whirlpool to lay off 5,000 workers as profit declines

The Wall Street Journal (10/29, Cameron, Brat) reports, “Whirlpool Corp. more than doubled its planned layoffs through next year to about 5,000 people as its profit fell 6.9 percent in the third quarter.” The manufacturer “also cut its earnings outlook, suspended its stock-buyback program and said it would raise prices further.” Company officials noted that “some consumers are delaying replacing appliances that are beyond repair” because of current economic conditions, but added that “such consumers eventually will buy the company’s [wares] because they are critical for maintaining a modern standard of living in the US.” Even so, Whirlpool “is uncertain enough about the global economy that it delayed forecasting its 2009 profit until early next year.” The Journal notes the company “is cutting production in the US and Europe by 20 percent in the fourth quarter and shutting plants in those two markets as well as Mexico.

Regarding the job cuts, the AP (10/29) notes that “about 500 are salaried and contract positions throughout North America, including approximately 300 in or near its corporate home of Benton Harbor, Mich. Another 1,900 overseas jobs are being trimmed, mostly in Europe.” Whirlpool will also “close a dishwasher plant in Jackson, Tenn., probably during the third quarter of 2009, and move production to a larger Whirlpool dishwasher factory in Findlay, Ohio. About 500 workers in Jackson will lose their jobs.” The announcement follows previous initiatives to “close four other plants, two in the United States and two in Mexico, displacing about 2,000 employees.”

Bloomberg News (10/29, Wolf) adds, “The global financial crisis, declining home values, rising unemployment and lower consumer confidence will keep appliance sales from rebounding anytime soon,” according to Chief Executive Officer Jeff Fettig. Analyst David MacGregor agreed, saying, “The outlook for any company that is selling products to the consumer right now is pretty bleak. … There is no sign of relief anytime soon.” MacGregor added, “Whirlpool appears to be” cutting costs and preparing for a downturn, “and management deserves credit for it.” The article notes, “In July, the company raised its 2008 projection for the increase in the cost of steel, copper and other raw materials used to make appliances to as much as $650 million.”

Forbes (10/29) reports that Whirlpool “slashed its forecast for free-cash flow to a range of zero to $50.0 million this year from an earlier view of up to $550.0 million.” The company “posted earnings of $163.0 million, or $2.15 per share, on sales of $4.9 billion, in the latest period, compared with profits of $175.0 million, or $2.20 per share, on sales of $4.8 billion, in the year-earlier quarter. AFP (10/28) also covered the story.

CNN reports on homeboys outrage!$$$$

Writer imagines other ways to spend war’s $1 trillion

CNN EDT Mon Oct 27^th 2008

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — When the Sunday morning political pundits began talking last year about the tab for the war in Iraq hitting $1 trillion, Rob Simpson sprang from his sofa in indignation.

“Why aren’t people outraged about this? Why aren’t we hearing about it?” Simpson said. And then it came to him: “Nobody knows what a trillion dollars is.”

The amount — $1,000,000,000,000 — was just too big to comprehend.

So Simpson, 51, decided to embark “on an unusual but intriguing research project” to put the dollars and cents of the war into perspective. He hired some assistants and spent 12 months immersed in economic data and crunching numbers.

The result: a slim but heavily annotated paperback released, “What We Could Have Done With the Money: 50 Ways to Spend the Trillion Dollars We’ve Spent on Iraq.”

Simpson is no geopolitical, macro-economic, inside-the-Beltway expert. He’s an armchair analyst and creative director for an advertising agency, a former radio announcer and music critic in Ontario and a one-time voiceover actor.

His alternative spending choices reflect his curiosity and wit.

He calculates $1 trillion could pave the entire U.S. interstate highway system with gold — 23.5-karat gold leaf. It could buy every person on the planet an iPod. It could give every high school student in the United States a free college education. It could pay off every American’s credit card. It could buy a Buick for every senior citizen still driving in the United States.

“As I started exploring, I was really taken aback by some of the things that can be done, both the absurd and the practical,” Simpson said.

America could double the 663,000 cops on the beat for 32 years. It could buy 16.6 million Habitat for Humanity houses, enough for 43 million Americans.

Now imagine investing that $1 trillion in the stock market — perhaps a riskier proposition today than when Simpson finished the book — to make it grow and last longer. He used an accepted long-term return on investment of 9 percent annually, with compounding interest.

The investment approach could pay for 1.9 million additional teachers for America’s classrooms, retrain 4 million workers a year or lay a foundation for paying Social Security benefits in 65 years to every child born in the United States, beginning today.

It’s too recent to make Simpson’s list, but that $1 trillion could also have paid for the Bush administration’s financial bailout plan, with $300 billion to spare. It might not be enough, however, to pay for the war in Iraq. Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz has recently upped his estimate of the war’s cost to $3 trillion.

Simpson created a Web site companion to his book that lets you go virtual shopping with a $1 trillion credit card. Choices range from buying sports franchises to theme parks, from helping disabled veterans to polar bears.

Click on Air Force One, the president’s $325 million airplane. The program asks: “Quantity?”

“At one point we couldn’t find anybody who actually stuck with it long enough to spend $1 trillion,” Simpson said. “It will wear you out.”

Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader Endorses John Murphy For Congress

This says much about Murphy’s character, but even more about Nader’s. What I like the most is the annihilation of the idea that Nader caused Gore to lose in 2000. The article points out the issues that truly lost Gore the election (for even Gore doesn’t make the claim that Nader cost him anything). Hell, Gore didn’t even carry Tennessee (his own state). Had he done that, he would have won.

This sentence says it all:

But the Democrats and the MSM never let the facts get in the way of a good lie if it gets votes or sells media ads.

Nader’s reputation as a truthful, hard-working citizen representative (you don’t know how much you owe to this man’s efforts) is one thing. But I challenge anyone to show me where he has been incorrect on any subject. Economy, Safety, Iraq war, Military Industrial Complex… every issue. He has foresight and intellect the others can only dream about.

He is so much more than wishing that we “hope” for “change”. He has the answers that will bring the change that will make us respected and powerful (economically and socially). For, the answer is as clear as the nose on my face… we MUST shrink the over-bloated and unnecessary military, if we are ever going to come back financially. Barney Franks was brave enough to say it. It is time for the “Change and Hope” guy to admit it (but he won’t, for he is afraid it will lose him votes). McCain never will. His entire persona rides on unending war. Obama’s is a quiet, misleading rhetoric that is fooling a lot of people. People “hoping” that he will become the Progressive he first eluded to to win the Primaries, then “changed” to the war monger in the main election cycle.

“Change”? Hell, no. He has become one of them.

Just look at who he has chosen as advisors (many of the Clinton regime).

“Hope”? For what? The miracle that he isn’t lying and has some grand scheme to be presented after the election?

Hope on, sheople. Just like usual. Just like it always is.

NATION’S FOREMOST PROPONENT FOR POLITICAL CHANGE SAYS MURPHY BELIEVES THAT CORPORATIONS SHOULD BE OUR SERVANTS, NOT OUR MASTERS

For Immediate Release: October 28, 2008
For Further Information: John Murphy (610) 384-4460

EAST FALLOWFIELD, PA – The John Murphy for Congress Campaign is extremely happy to announce that Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader has endorsed Independent Congressional Candidate John Murphy for House of Representatives in the 16th district.

According to Ralph Nader, “John Murphy is as rugged as a buffalo and keeps his eye on the horizons of justice. He believes that corporations should be our servants, not our masters, and works hard to get them off our back. So the government can serve the people, as the framers of the constitution intended.”

John Murphy said that “Ralph has been one of my mentors since the 1960s. His endorsement is one of the highest honors that I have ever received. But I have been honored by him in the past. In 2004 I represented Ralph in a series of debate-like forums all throughout southeastern Pennsylvania and since that time I have represented him in the Pennsylvania Ballot Access Coalition. The PBAC is an organization dedicated to enacting fair ballot access laws in Pennsylvania. It is composed of the leaders of all of the newer parties and I am pleased to be Ralph’s representative”.

One of the big lies told by the Democrat Party and the MSM (mainstream media) is that Ralph caused Al Gore to lose in Florida in 2000 even though exit polls showed that the reason for Gore’s loss was that 250,000 registered Democrats voted for George Bush. There were also several other factors that accounted for Gore’s loss including the removal of 80,000 Florida citizens from the voters list by Katherine Harris and the unprecedented decision by the Supreme Court to stop the recount. But the Democrats and the MSM never let the facts get in the way of a good lie if it gets votes or sells media ads.

John Murphy said “the Democrat Party leaders like to say that Ralph took votes from Gore but of course that would imply that Democrat Party owned them in the first place. Votes cannot be owned” continued Murphy, “votes must be earned. As if in retaliation, the Democrat Party removed Ralph from the ballot in Pennsylvania in 2004 yet only 4% of his over 50,000 signatures were found to be not authentic. Democrat Party leaders in Pennsylvania are now being prosecuted because they used state employees to pull off this travesty. And paid them bonuses to boot! This is what ‘bonusgate’ is all about”.

Murphy concluded “there are two ways you can defeat democracy; one way is by preventing people from voting, the other is by preventing worthy candidates from ever appearing on the ballot. Here in Pennsylvania, in 2004 the Democrat Party chose the latter”.
