Civilianism #64 / A Case Against McCain

This is a first attempt at live podcasting! In this episode, I present just the tip of the iceburg on why John McCain is the worst possible person we could have as our next president. I explain a little bit of what happened at the Democratic convention, why Robert Wexler sounds like such a robot for Israel, and some of the flaws of the John McCain candidacy. How can someone now know how many houses he has? John McCain is so out of touch, he’s probably lost all feeling in most of his body. I list examples as proof of this.

Also discussed, how the U.S. is sexist and probably racist, given the fact that Obama isn’t leading McCain by 20 points in the polls, which is where he should be. The fact is, John McCain would be FOUR MORE YEARS OF GEORGE BUSH. That means, he needs to lose this election.

The gloves are off: McCain needs to lose this election. I still support Cynthia McKinney, but she won’t prevent McCain from being elected. I am strongly against the U.S. foreign policy of interventionalism, and our best hope is to move the next administration to the left. Bush policies are McCain policies, and we won’t survive four more years of Bush policies. When he leaves office, his policies must go with him. I attempt to make just a small portion of the case against McCain in this episode, and that will continue until the election itself.

This podcast is an experiment using Nicecast software and a way for me to be broadcast live, if I choose to go that route in the future. The benefit to me it that it forces me to finish a podcast in less than two hours, setting a world record!

I’ll be back soon with reports on the March on the RNC.

Kucinich Rocks the DNC

Filed under: Democrats, Video — Tags: , , , , — shellius @ 8:15 pm August 26, 2008

Watch Dennis rock the house at the DNC/Obama Fest in Denver.

He had the room on its feet in a standing O  and the crowd whipped into a frenzy.

New podcasts are coming soon — I’m working on some new software issues and a Civilianism Radio concept (uh-oh) and enjoying the outrageously expensive and AT&T-sponsored spectacle of the DNC.    I’m also feeling nervous about the RNC next week, to be honest… police in St. Paul are already confiscating cameras and cell phones and calling people terrorists according to reports from  Minnesota Public Radio. This does not appear to be a good omen for next week.  So the question is, should I take my cheap camera or my good camera?
