Yeah, that "Obama is a terrorist" worked real well for McCain and Palin.
But then Alabama is about as backwater as states get in the U.S. -- so maybe he'll sew up the Bubba illiterate vote, along with Bubba's cousins too.

The ad does NOT call D'OHbama a terrorist. If you watched to ad, you know this.
Therefore, Lee - YOU ARE A LIAR.
I challenge you to retract the lie and apologize.
And since Lee is a confirmed liar and a raaaaacist, he also sees fit to make blanket attacks on rural Americans.
Good work at showing your true character, Lee.

You know, I recently supported the banning of Lee Ward.
However, once I saw through his offensive posting style, I realize he's got nothing to bring to he discussion - as Lee demonstrates in post #3.

But Lee, doesn't the fact that he's black contradict your verdict on the "bubba"s of the world, i.e. that they hate Obama because he's black and they are evil raaacists? And yet you think they will vote for a *different* black man?
Why, that would mean you are full of sh*t and have not only failed to prove your point, but in fact have proven your entire premise *internally inconsistent*.
It might even turn out that a man's race *doesn't matter* to Obama's opponents, but in fact its something he is doing that makes them oppose him? You know, exactly what we have all contended all along.
By george, Lee, I think you are getting it, despite yourself and your idiotic philosophy.

Quick question lee, isn't the term "bubba" normally associated with white men and women?
Any way given the following "bubba may not apply to Alabama... Blacks in residence 26% USA as a whole 12%
High school grads 75% in the USA 80% not so much different.
Bachelor's degree or higher, 19.0%, USA 24.4% (That big of a diff I fail to see it)
Median value of owner-occupied housing units a not so bubba-like $85,100. (WHAT no trailer-trash!!!)
And this isn't so much bubba-like 'cause you KNOW all bubbas are racists... Black-owned firms, percent, 9.3% USA 5.2%

So here's the sequence of events:
-Lee posts a lie in #3.
-Lee gets his ass handed to him several times, along with a challenge to retract the lie.
-Lee's response is to post "Look, a squirrel!" in #16.
Sure, Lee "doesn't do requests", but only if the request doesn't fit his raaaaacist, lying agenda.
Unfortunately, Lee won't go away.
Does Lee believe he has a captive audience here at Wizbang, or is Lee just too stupid to know just how ridiculous he looks?
Lee, to repeat - I made a challenge in post #11. Do you accept or deny the challenge?
(You see, ignoring me in this case makes you look like a bigger wimp than you already appear to be.)

About 100 guys like Les Phillips in Congress would be a great start.
I haven't read the reports of Lee's pal Robinson, but I do recall about 30 years ago a group of physicists advocated disposing of nuclear waste in the Marianas Trench, as it was demonstrably the safest place on Earth to stash it. Not sure about the oil, since it tends to rise . . . but it is also organic and is eventually consumed, that's just established science - but again the details of this guy's theory could make it impractical.
But if Lee says it is ridiculous, that definitely makes it worth a serious look.

Sky Captain ~
In ye yore-filled days of olde,
When ye knights of yore were bolde,
And Kings reigned in their castles
They felt it wise
to advertise
Amusements for their vassals.
Dancers always raised a smile
Magicians wowed a little while,
But Kings who wished to rule in style
Always kept a fool waiting in the aisle.
Malformed wretches were mocked with glee,
Dwarfs and midgets thrilled the company,
But the heartiest laughs were for imbecility -
And so as Kings had fools, Jay Tea has Lee.

I've wondered myself. When he had control of WizbangBlue and nose-dived it, I was surprised that he (she/it/whatever) never seemed to realize it was what HE was doing with the immediate banning of dissent that was destroying any utility of the site.
You WANT people to come and discuss things. That's how you get the page count up, and can charge more for ad space. You don't do that by stating an opinion that's controversial, and then banning everyone who disagrees with your POV.
Lee didn't, or couldn't, or wouldn't see it that way. He basically assumed control of the editorship with all the powers vested in it, and (essentially ) blocked out the opinions of the other contributors (Paul Hooson, and I think there was one other infrequent one.) Any challenges to his policy were met with heavy-duty hissyfits until he got his way. Any challenges to his 'facts' were pretty much immediately deleted and the poster banned.
Lee had control - every leftist's wet dream - and turned what could have been a very interesting site into a smoking crater.

"so maybe he'll sew up the Bubba illiterate vote, along with Bubba's cousins too."
So, since bubbas are generally considered illiterate white males who live in rural areas, then only illiterate white males (bubbas) would vote for a black guy. Oh wait, isn't Obama black?
Got it.
It wouldn't have anything to do with him being a guy who actually put his money where his mouth was by serving his country without, you know, being forced into the draft by old white males (read: racists!).

No, Oyster, Lee CAN'T be a racist. He's against all those eevil conservatives who MUST be racist because if they WEREN'T racist they'd be liberals like him.
No matter how much you say skin color doesn't matter, the fact that you're even MENTIONING it means you're a racist.
Of course, if you DON'T mention it, you're obviously a racist. And don't forget all the numerous code words that indicate racism, like "Him, her, them, they, he, she" and so on.
Basically, everything is racist, unless it's not, and even then what isn't racist really is.
Unless it isn't.
Does that clear it up?
This guy Les Phillips? Racist. Racist to the CORE because HE mentioned his military service, and everyone knows the military is racist. And segregated. And sexist. And homophobic.
(Shakes head violently.)
Damn that's hard, thinking like that...
Seriously though - I think we're going to be seeing more ex-military going into politics over the next decade or two. We basically had to rebuild the political infrastructure of Iraq, and we did it with our military pushing, prodding, and poking the proper people every step of the way. They learned, in short order, how to construct a functional government.
Ours isn't quite so bad - but it needs an overhaul to strip off the extraneous crap and the 'for life' occupants of some of the offices. Maybe it's time to look at mandatory retirement at age 60 for folks in Congress. (Pelosi's what, 135 or so? And Reid, he's got to be 200 if he's a day...)
But I expect to see more folks getting involved. They KNOW they can change things for the better - and whether the folks in the system want it to change or not.
