It
was 1929. The market had crashed. But then, like a miracle, hope was
rekindled in the hearts of a terrified nation when President Franklin
Roosevelt went on TV and...er, wait a minute! Is this History or just
the latest Biden gaffe? He seems to make at least one a day. One of my
favorites, and one which ensures that I will always have a warm spot in
my heart for Joe, was his statement that the Obama ad that mocked
McCain for being unable to use a computer with the hands that were
broken and smashed while he was being tortured by the North Vietnamese
friends of Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn was 'horrible'. The usual
backing and filling occurred to try to redefine the remark as Biden
being upset at McCain's vicious attacks.
And the attacks
have been
extraordinarily vicious. McCain has gone so far that he is actually
bringing up votes from Obama's incredibly thin record! During the
entire campaign against Kerry the hapless W never stooped low enough to
bring up Kerry's record in the Senate but now McCain has gone
completely insane and has sunk to the depths where he is harping on
things that Obama has
actually done! What
kind of crazed, unethical Kamikaze behavior is this? Does he think
Obama was the Governor Of Alaska or something which requires a higher
level of scrutiny?
Now there has been a dramatic shift in the
polls. You see, Obama's record is not relevant but POLLS, now thats the
hard-hitting factual basis on which we can base our choice. And the
polls have shifted in response to the McCain-Palin surge. The pollsters
reweighted their sampling demographics and have produced a much tighter
race. They've also produced a totally non-scientific poll where they
have determined that most Americans are racists. What makes you a
racist? Answering 'Yes' to a question asking whether you associate
blacks with violence. Maybe the people who answered 'yes' to this
question had just listened to some of the speculation that is common
amongst the Rev Wright types in the Black Community who are predicting
bloody riots if Obama doesn't win.
Meanwhile, back on the
campaign trail Biden makes a stop at a coal-mining town and touts his
love for the hard-laboring coal miners. Too bad that he was on tape
from two days ago advocating 'no coal plants in America' but saying
that we needed to introduce clean coal into China! So China gets
electricity and we don't. When the lights start to go out, because the
alternative energy the libs are so fond of is uber-expensive and
basically unworkable, the government will declare a crisis, appropriate
a trillion dollars as a 'bailout' and use that as a blind to seize the
electricity industry and turn it over to the Federal Government. One by
one the crisis are brought on by idiotic government policies and in the
name of averting disaster the government steps in and effectively
nationalizes another sector of the economy.
We have now reached
the tipping point. The Dems demand that the Fannie-Freddie bailout
include the effective nationalization of the financial sector or its no
deal. The answer should be the President going on TV and in a national
speech BLAME THE DEMOCRATS for the disaster and for the inability to
pass a bailout bill. Of course, after eight years of ignoring Democrat
lies and power-grabs the feeble Bushy is not capable of any such
truth-telling. They say that Bush is preparing an address on the
financial crisis but I doubt he's going to throw down the gauntlet. He
certainly was completely silent when Pig-losi and Co. passed a drilling
ban in congress. This was an issue that could have been loudly pushed
to the detriment of the Dems' hopes of holding the house. But that
would have been so ...partisan. We're not ...partisan.
Meanwhile
back on the campaign trail Obama and Biden are stumbling along making
gaffe after gaffe and losing steam. The demographics in the polls can
only be tweaked so much and there is a debate coming up between the
tongue-tied Obama and a mean old man who has sandbagged better men than
Barry in a series of debates. Cast your mind back to the debates
between the Republicans, which were pretty sharp and issue-driven and
those of the Democrats which were only bidding matches about how much
money they were going to hand to various interest groups. HRC was
hardly likely to accuse Barry of being a corrupt leftist tied to wacko
radicals, just as he was not going to bring up her Chinese
contributors. I think we can count on that snarky ol' critter McCain to
abandon the Marquis Of Queensbury rules and lure the lightweight
amateur Obama onto the ropes.
I cant wait for Biden's post-debate commentary.
