With one week left until the election, isn’t there something missing from the GOP website?

Yep, there’s Fred Thompson up there in big, bright letters, Obama and Biden are all over the place… but not a mention of John McCain or Sarah Palin. Y’know, the Republican candidates for President and Vice President. It does say that they’re hiring though. Maybe looking for a new ticket.
For contrast, type in Democrats.org and what’s the first thing you see?
You know the Republicans aren’t looking forward to election day when they’ve already taken their candidates off their website.
In case you missed it, she really knocked it out of the park at the DNC last night, including with a giant smack-down for the PUMA idiots who like to go on about how the uppity presumptuous Obama hasn’t grovelled enough to earn their vote.
I was working at the now infamous DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting yesterday in DC. It was a very, very long day, and I spent about twelve straight hours on my feet (which still hurt this morning). There are plenty of places to read about what went on at the meeting. Since I was there in a position which required neutrality, I won’t say anything about the results except that I’m glad the meeting has happened and is over.
The DNC launched a new ad this week targeting John McCain for his pledge for a hundred years of war in Iraq.
John McCain and the RNC are absolutely furious over the ad, claiming that it takes McCain’s words out of context (and, as BarbinMD rightly points out, that’s their job). According to McCain and the RNC, the DNC forgot to include the part where McCain likens the 100 years in Iraq to our occupations of Germany, Japan, and South Korea–in other words, the hundred year clock doesn’t start until American soldiers stop being killed, but McCain doesn’t offer any explanation of how long that part of the Glorious War will take (probably because in GOP fantasy land, the war is already over and we’ve already won).
Gov. Dean responded to McCain and the RNC on Meet the Press:
You can also check out McSame’s well-documented calls for more wars and longer wars.
Update: Via MyDD, another video of McCain trying to compare keeping our soldiers in Iraq where 4,000 have been killed so far to our bases in friendly countries.
Yes, we have military bases in Germany, but no German militia is launching mortars at them 24/7. Keeping American soldiers in the middle of the violent Iraqi civil war for a thousand years is not the same as stationing troops at Ramstein Air Force Base.
