Like Stephanie Miller says, Sarah Palin’s nomination as the Republican VP candidate is straight out of SNL. You sersiouly couldn’t write easier attack points for someone with half a brain to use against the Republican ticket, let alone someone as badass as James Carville, who absolutely pwns all challengers, including some shit brained Republican congresswoman. News might actually be worth watching this week just to see all the carnage.

That being said, I’m really not looking forward to seeing this woman, and her running mate, Emperor Palpatine, most likely win the election this November. After all, never underestimate the stupidity, and duplicity
and utter idiocy of the American electorate. ITS GONNA BE FUN!!11

Democratic Stuff.com probably struck gold with this button.  I can picture thousands of teenage high school students, most of which probably unable to vote, either sporting this bad boy proudly around school or getting their ass kicked by the football team.

I couldn’t have foreseen this in a million years. America’s pride and joy, the store that stocks both anti-depressants and shot gun shells, is leaning towards the right wing.

Wal-Mart has recently warned that if the Dems do win the presidential nomination, there’s a likelihood that it will be easier for workers to unionize larger companies. The superstore has always been known for it’s slave fair labor practices, and doesn’t see the need for it’s workers to form labor unions. Besides, who needs medical insurance and workman’s comp anyways?

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is mobilizing its store managers and department supervisors around the country to warn that if Democrats win power in November, they’ll likely change federal law to make it easier for workers to unionize companies — including Wal-Mart.

In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart store managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings at which the retailer stresses the downside for workers if stores were to be unionized.

According to about a dozen Wal-Mart employees who attended such meetings in seven states, Wal-Mart executives claim that employees at unionized stores would have to pay hefty union dues while getting nothing in return, and may have to go on strike without compensation. Also, unionization could mean fewer jobs as labor costs rise.

The actions by Wal-Mart — the nation’s largest private employer — reflect a growing concern among big business that a reinvigorated labor movement could reverse years of declining union membership. That could lead to higher payroll and health costs for companies already being hurt by rising fuel and commodities costs and the tough economic climate.

The Wal-Mart human-resources managers who run the meetings don’t specifically tell attendees how to vote in November’s election, but make it clear that voting for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama would be tantamount to inviting unions in, according to Wal-Mart employees who attended gatherings in Maryland, Missouri and other states.

“The meeting leader said, ‘I am not telling you how to vote, but if the Democrats win, this bill will pass and you won’t have a vote on whether you want a union,’” said a Wal-Mart customer-service supervisor from Missouri. “I am not a stupid person. They were telling me how to vote,” she said.

America’s biggest employer, and the working conditions are pretty much intolerable… but hey, where else can you go and get XXL pants, camouflage night vision goggles and McDonalds at 3 in the morning?  SCORE!

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama spent a Missouri Monday defending his patriotism, in light of recent attacks.

“At certain times over the last 16 months, I have found, for the first time, my patriotism challenged — at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears and doubts about who I am and what I stand for.”

Obama has taken a decent bit of rapping on his patriotism in general, stemming from an incident where he didn’t wear a flag pin, as well as from allegations that he doesn’t say the pledge of allegiance.

No flag pin?! RELEASE THE FUCKING HOUNDS!

YES.

The first black man to be elected the Democratic Presidential Nominee. YES.

Shocker.
Even though countless people have begged him to stay out Ralph Nader said he’s running for President as a third party candidate. 73 year old Nader is running under the idea to “shift the power from the few to the many.” Sounds great on paper right?

Mike Huckabee enjoyed reminding CNN that Nader’s past runs have shown that he pulls votes from the Democrat and said “So naturally, Republicans would welcome his entry into the race.” Thanks for the reminder Mike…

Nader added “If the Democrats can’t landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, emerge in a different form.” Kind of a good point if you think about it.

For the record most of us here at Synthesis are pulling for Obama.
