I'm
seeing McCain commercials on my television set. Sometimes I watch the
Univision news and I haven't seen either of the Obama or McCain ads;
but I just surf in to catch Latin American news. Univision and
Telemundo are totally left wing which leads people to the conclusion
that the Latino community is left wing in the same way that the black
community is. That is a big mistake. First of all, people from
Nicaragua are really different than people from Zacetecas. The Latino
community is incredibly diverse and a lot of them have strong
conservative traditions. The 'community organizers' have been electing
left wing hotheads to the California legislature by using the
traditionally tiny voter turnouts to leverage the power of the
activists. Toss in a few thousand phony ballots and you're in like
Flynn.
That is beginning to change. The second generation is
completely assimilated. America is their home. They apply their
cultural backgrounds to the current politics and choose sides. Bush won
40% of their votes. As us Right-Wing zealots will have to recognize,
this is an ethnic group that does
not
have an axe to grind with McCain. He went to bat for them and risked
his entire career doing so. That and the military record in a group of
people who contain a large number of veterans make McCain acceptable.
He's still a wrinkly white-haired old
gavacho like
those red-faced droolers who yell at them to go back to where they came
from, thats working against him, but Latino voters don't get angry
looking at McCain.
On the other hand...wasn't that a 'community
activist' that went to the school and got the black kids who beat their
son up off the hook? Latinos and black people have a lot of bad blood.
As the Latinos have become majorities in places like Watts and Compton
they have not had an easy time. Its going to be very hard for many
Latinos to vote for a black 'community organizer'.
Meanwhile, back
in Whitey World, in addition to national news that would seem to
indicate that 45% unemployment and 450% inflation are just a matter of
months away we're also faced with the specter that the State Of
California, whose budget has increased 50% in the last three years, is
going to go belly-up this year or next year at the latest. Now most
people aren't aware that there is a state government, but lets just
call the mood
quietly ugly. People
are scared and its making them mean. Do mean people like to be told
they're not doing their fair share? Do mean people want to be told that
we can't drill for oil because some penguins might get a sunburn? Do
mean people like to be called closet racists by some 'community
organizer' who now does his organizing at a $28,000 a plate shindig at
Bab's house in Malibu. If you don't need another reason to vote for
McCain then just the thought that if Obama wins Babs will have slept
with two presidents should make you reconsider; do you want to live in
a country like that?
So back to the mean Whiteys, the ones who are
angry at last year's immigration bill. Now they've got a choice between
the guy who wrote it and the guy who thinks it didn't go far enough.
Think McCain doesn't have the edge? Think again. You think a young
sassy black guy mocking old John McCain for not being able to use a
computer with hands and arms that were broken beyond repair while he
was serving his country is well received? I don't think so. I think
Obama has started to become the symbol of the arrogant rich people who
want to make it impossible for people to have a mini-van and live in a
satellite suburb. The whole political correctness thing was underlined
by how they treated Sarah Palin. She wasn't allowed a shred of dignity
or privacy. Her politically incorrect views were described in snotty,
ironic terms as completely unacceptable. It came to a shock to some
people that a seventeen-year-old could be set upon so savagely.
Fortunately the baby wasn't aware that the New York Times was raising
questions about his parentage. That was shocking to most people and
doubly so when Obama snidely insinuated that Sarah Palin was a pig.
Defining himself as a cad of the first water.
So the media party
continues. The polls seem to suggest that this is even or close but
I've talked to too many people who vote Democrat by default and none of
them are going to vote for Obama. My youngest daughter, who disagrees
with everything Palin and social conservatives stand for is very
concerned by Obama's socialist economic policies and is undecided. If a
twenty-three-year-old Political Science graduate of UC Irvine is
undecided then that means that Obama is in serious trouble in
California.
