Oh those McLamiacs were
so
smart! They did an end run around the conservatives, pretended to
support a phony Baptist preacher in primaries where they werent viable
and parleyed 30% 'victories' in a few winner-take-all early primaries
into an improbable grab of the Republican nomination; aided, of course,
by the masochists in the party leadership who seemed to be obsessed
with always doing the absolute dumbest thing in every political
situation. They sure fooled us stupid conservatives!
So now we're
stuck with an inarticulate pseudo-Democratic 'Maverick' whose campaign
already is lurching from missed opportunities to disasters and back
again. This clown cant do anything right. Obama spends every day
screwing up, apologizing for screwing up and screwing up again. Anybody
but the most totally incompetent candidate would be on the offensive
against this left-wing chucklehead and making enough noise that it
would force the mainstream media's 24/7 'I Love Barak' Hosanna Chorus
to at least put a footnote in each of the 'Wonderful Hopeful New Age Of
St Obama' stories mentioning that McLame exists and that he has a
distinct point of view. The problem is that McLame is the most totally
incompetent candidate imaginable and he doesnt disagree with the
Democrats on most issues. He also hasnt changed his strategy of using
his liberal views to entice independents and Reagan Democrats to cross
the line and vote for him. The consequence of this is that McLame
wanders aimlessly from issue to issue talking away in his
incomprehensible bureaucratic memo-speak while the cameras show a
wizened, confused old duffer up against a vigorous young Progressive
singing the song of the angels. And what song is Obama singing? 'McLame
is Bush's Third Term' is the title of the song. Its simple, easy to
grasp, and is repeated often. Exactly what you're supposed to do to
capture the attention of the low IQ Gooney Birds who compose America's
TV-lobomized electorate. Meanwhile Captain Queeg McLame pushes his
walker around the country, changing themes like he changes his
underwear and waiting for the stunning brilliance of his 'maverickism'
to ignite an unstoppable fire in the hearts of the masses.
Now he
has been handed the greatest campaign issue in the history of campaign
issues. The rising price of energy is a direct result of thirty years
of the Democrat's and soft-headed Republican's refusal to deal with
reality by drilling for oil and building nuclear power plants. People
are frightened and looking for answers. The eco-nuts have a ring
through the noses of the libs in both parties and, with their doltish
media allies, are leading a formerly great nation down the road to
decline and poverty. The Republicans in the Senate have caught on and
are starting to take on the Dems on this issue. The Dems have countered
with their usual nonsense about excess profits and are walking around
opposing offshore drilling by pointing to the useless tracts that have
already been abandoned by the oil companies and asking why they dont
drill there. The media, of course, parrots the Dem line at great length
and at every opportunity. McLame has made some weak moves to indicate
some hedged support for drilling in a few more places but he's still
talking about Glow-Bull Warming and supporting Barbara Boxer's Cap and
Trade nightmare which would gut the economy by imposing
trillions of
dollars in added costs and fees on an already overtaxed and
overregulated economy. Worse than that, politically, is McLame's
inability to stick to a single line of attack, to pound home one
understandable theme that defines him as a leader, to grab the cameras
with a fifteen-second, resonant, oft-repeated soundbite which heartens
his followers and brings fear into the breasts of his opponents.
Now,
this crippled liberal has come up against a reality that cant be
explained away by anything but his own lack of competence and contempt
for real Republicans; the discrepancy between the thin trickle of money
he is raising and the tsunami of cash that has crested to hurl the
surfboard of the Obama campaign forward. Because conservatives despise
McLame for the liberal that he is his appeals to the base he has spent
his life betraying have gone unanswered. He has been forced to put his
campaign on welfare by accepting public money. Obama has, of course,
abandoned the public system that the Dems were so hot for when the
Republicans were raising most of the money and will continue to milk
the internet cash cow for an endless, creamy supply of donations.
Unless something really big happens this election is effectively over.
