McSame Outsources American Jobs

1. So far on pols I have seen “Mcbush” and now “McSame.” I’m just wondering if it is always going to be okay to throw nicknames at McCain, but not at Obama? I mean no one can even call Obama by his real legal middle name, Hussein, without being called a fear monger, but McCain seems to be open season for the nick names. And to some people, constantly calling McCain names that suggest he is another Bush, is fear-mongering.

   *I know people also call Hilary, Billary. Does the same double standard exist for her too?

   1. There are no racists or sexism implications when referring to McSame but rather it’s impied that he will continue the disasterours policies of the Bush administration; hence being the same.

      Which is far different than the likes of Cunningham or Republican Rep. Steve King invoking Barack Hussein Obama’s name to claim:

      The radical Islamists, the al-Qaida … would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror,”

      Barack Hussein Obama means blessed and beautiful, yet fearmongers like Cunningham and King are too ignorant to look past their own ignorance and unfortunately too many peolpe will believe their crap.

      1. but outside of King and Cunningham, if someone uses Obama’s legal middle name, does that automatically deem them a racist?

         1. No one seemed to have a problem with King Hussein bin Talal of Jordan.
            
            There’s no point of mentioning Barack Obama’s middle name of Hussein except to try to make some connection to Islam, especially when there is a focus on his middle name.
            
            A middle name doesn’t define you. Repeatedly concentrating on Hussein is a Pavlovian trick.

            1. So if McCain’s middle name was Jesus, do you think the media, the punditry, and just about everyone else would raise issues with that? Would people be constantly asking him if his middle name would influence his decisions in the white house? Would they continuously ask him if he was trying to convert non-Christians to Christianity? Would people mock him for such a middle name? And would that be accepted?

                  1. and the original diary title is political drivel with zero basis in fact.  But other than that….

                     1. and write the stories…. it’s just my biased upon what McCain does, right?

                        Debating what’s in a name when American jobs are being outsourced is “interesting” to you. Isn’t that cute. We now where your loyalties lie and it’s not with the American worker.

                        1. That explains why you don’t just answer a simple question.  

                           SO.  What is your answer to the question?

                           if someone uses Obama’s legal middle name, does that automatically deem them a racist?

                           Facts not in evidence sir.  Some American Jobs in Seattle will be traded for American Jobs in Alabama.  McCain is one of one hundred Senators.  He did not make this decision.  The Pentagon, and the elected Presidents administration did.

                           And WHO SAYS its the wrong decision?  Boeing employees went to JAIL.  McCain demanded an open process instead of a NO bid or one bid no competition contract.  Boeing lost to another American company, partnered with the Europeans (Our NATO allies remember.)

                           No Big deal unless you are a Boeing stockholder.

                           So get your facts straight 3/17/2005 Seattle Times
                           

                           McCain’s main objection is that the Pentagon awarded the contract under a special method known as “other transaction authority,” which reduces government oversight of the contract.

                           The method was developed to provide flexibility for smaller research projects, but was not intended for major suppliers such as Boeing, the second-largest defense contractor in the U.S., critics say. They complain that it circumvents some controls against waste and arbitrary price increases, as well as regulations that prohibit military officials from discussing future employment with suppliers with whom they’ve recently negotiated procurement contracts.

                           Ken Boehm, director of The National Legal and Policy Center, a watchdog group, said these loopholes open the way to cost overruns and pricing irregularities. Boehm’s group was instrumental in the tanker investigation and worked closely with the federal government on it.

                           He told the Senate panel that “Boeing is an exceptionally poor choice” to integrate all the other contractors on the FCS project because the lead integrator “has to have the trust of the government and of the other firms.”

                           The Government Accountability Office had raised the issue of significant risks in this contracting process. Its representative said that the Army’s decision to proceed with the contract had been “premature” because the individual components had not been fully examined before the contract was awarded.

                           McCain is likely to pursue amendments to the FCS, said Boehm, “to prevent its final cost from spiraling out of control.”

                           Boeing spokesmen declined to comment on the contract.

                     2. I feel like I can field this one.  First, yeah, if McCain’s middle were Jesus and the “liberal media” portrayed him as a Bible thumping maniac, a lot of Christians would be upset.  And the 25% of America that isn’t Christian would be afraid, and automatically assume, that we’d no longer be able to learn about Evolution, sex ed. in general would be out the window, and that prayer in school was coming back, to say nothing of the sodomy law that would make a come back.  Would that be fair?  Of course not.

                        I’m curious why Jesus was chosen as the middle name, wouldn’t something like Hitler be more appropriate?  People get nervous anytime Nazis are brought up.  It would be just as bad to say John Hitler McCain, even though there’s nothing wrong with being German, or having the name Hitler.  Take a time warp to Truman’s first election, what if John Hitler Smith had been running against him?  The problem is genocidal maniacs.  So you see, not-so-subtlety trying to get people to associate a person with terrorism, for no other reason than garnering general election votes, based on nothing more than a middle name is always ridiculous.

                        1. if someone uses Obama’s legal middle name, does that automatically deem them a racist?  

                           PS  Its a YES or NO question.  You can bloviate all you want after the YES or NO.

                           1. Even though I don’t agree that it is a yes or no question, for the sake of discussion:

                              If they can honestly say that they are not doing it to sway voters, no.  But, in the arena that we are discussing it I don’t think that anyone could make the case.  It sort of comes down to whether or not you are using everyone’s middle name, and, maybe more importantly, are you stressing it?

                           2. I had to reboot my computer, I didn’t want to get jumped on.  The first part of the post got switched around, by me.  

                              It is a yes or no question, and the answer is no, using a middle name does not automatically make you racist.

                           3. I also agree racists can use a name or a symbol for racist purposes.  But that does not make everyone who uses a name or that symbol a racist.

                              I have a Confederate Naval Ensign Hanging in my Shop.  Does that make me a racist?

                              Well, most people would say no as it is hanging with a collection of other collectables and odd things.  

                              Now if I fly it on my pick up truck, maybe yes maybe no.  Depends.

                              And that’s the problem with using Barrack Hussein Obama. It is after all his legal name.  You can’t make to big a deal about opponents using it.  It’s not a nick name or a gang name, its his legal name.

                              My big issue is, until he ran for office he was Barry Obama.  Waz Up wit dat?

                              If he found his roots to Barrack, OK great, so why not go all the way to his roots with Hussein?

                              Oh yeah that Saddam guy?  Does he think the same conspiracy nuts that think Bush warned the Saudis of 911 would not vote for him?

                              I think this election will be decided on many things, Barry Obama’s middle name ain’t one of them.

                           4. One more note on middle names:

                              Using someone’s middle name is not common practice in our culture.  There are two exceptions that come to mind; to differentiate between two similarly named people, or, and this one’s a stretch, as a sign of respect.  Either way, when writing, generally the full name is used only once, title included, the first time that person is mentioned.

                              Switching to the particular case of Obama: If you hear someone use his middle name, repeatedly, and they don’t use their own it automatically casts a suspicious light.  That’s a break with tradition and that warrants an explanation.

                              As far as voting because of someone’s middle name, I sincerely hope not.  My mom works with a woman who swears that he is the Anti-Christ, seriously.  She goes on and on about it, how he’s Muslim and Middle Eastern whatever else, she breaks out the Bible to double check the list.  Nuts, right?  Well, she wouldn’t ever vote for a Dem anyway, so whatever.

2. Just read pols for a few hours.

   But my point was and is, Complaints about using the candidates legal middle name are not going to get too far.

   Besides, the more the Dem’s protest, the more  widely they advertise his middle name,(in a context of suspicion.)  

   Go back to Hoping for(spare)Change.

   Anybody that will not vote for him because of his middle name, probably wasn’t going to vote for him anyway.

   Whats Hillary’s middle name anyway??
