Wonder Woman has struck again! The media are so consumed with class warfare hatred for Sarah Palin that they are missing the truth of why she is so popular and the importance of that popularity to the outcome of this election.

When the year began the giant TV event was Obama. When he beat Hillary in one primary in March, I forget which one, they cut away from her concession speech to a forty-five minute Obama speech. It was the correct decision; Obama was compelling, the crowd crackled with excitement and the speech was ringing, perfectly timed and beautifully written. It had eloquence and vision for all its vague promise of Change You Can Believe In. He was a TV event! The Michael Jackson of politics.

But now Obama has been reduced to a smarmy con-man, trying to be some things that he's not; a middle-of-the-road mainstream politician and a leader. His pathetic behavior in the Cabinet Room economic summit, the one where McCain successfully imitated the 5,000 year old neolithic cadaver that they dug out of a glacier a few years ago, bodes ill for this country if he manages to get himself elected. The music and the passion of Obama have long since departed. He's running on the current economic crisis and Bush malaise. The TV God has deserted him.
His speeches are dry and formless, the crowds dont seem energetic. Obama's performance at the first debate had all the finesse of a Mattress City commercial where you know the promise of a free mattress if you can match their price at another store is nonsense.

Meanwhile, a new Star is born. This is the second time that Palin has shown what she is... a true political savant. Shes as good on TV as Bill Clinton. She connects, she hits home. What a contrast to that dope Biden. This was like 'Married With Children's' Peggy Bundy debating the evil guy from the bank. They should have had a laugh, applause, boo, groan soundtrack machine. She adds a sense of drama. she works the camera. Who cares about that briefing-book baloney anyway? Bringing that one point up about Obama's accusation that our troops were 'bombing villages and murdering children' in Afghanistan gave people a simple, clear definition of Obama's foreign policy views that average people can understand. The contorted flapdoodle that the Obamanoids use to respond to this is only assessable to nerds who hang out on Andrew Sullivan's blog or waste their time reading Paul Krugman columns. Normal humans need not apply. Palin got her points across like that. She winked; its just between us folks! Its the Regular People vs. THEM! That is powerful. Its a shame that she's not at the top of the ticket. She's a leader. Conservatives have been seeking 'The New Reagan' during the tragic two decades of Bushy-Clintonista misrule. So misguided and pathetic in their need were they that clunky bozos like Mutt Romney or some Arkansas sidewinder named Huckleberry were even looked upon with faint hope.

Now our Bill Clinton has arisen...and she's a chick! She's a HOT chick too. I dug that black outfit, it was one step away from leather. It was so very not Andrea Mitchell. Heidi would have told her to leave the runway in that office-manager getup. That's the genius of Palin, of course. She's the hot chick you work with, not some earnest lifetime chiseling Senior Senator with an arrogant delivery and a bad plug-job. This was the 'Married With Children' debate and Peggy retired from the stage as the overdub-track machine went wild with applause.

The McCain campaign will now surely be forced to let Palin lead the charge against the noxious poison of Obamanism. She connects and he doesn't. Period. She has to be set loose to nail Obama with the sins of his Marxist past like some Aimee Semple McPherson going after the devil and calling of the faithful to witness for a non-socialist America; a country that has traditions and values that have taken it to heights that no other nation on earth has ever reached and which deserve to be honored and kept. The Wrinkly Old White Dude needs to do something that people will respond to and he's shown himself to not be up to the job. He needs to attack Obama and he doesn't have it in him attack any Democrat. He's running this campaign like he's running for the Senate in Arizona. His dashing running mate is his only hope.

I havent seen a speech that good since Oliver North sent Brezhnev's B-team on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee scurrying for their hidey-holes at the mad climax of Iran-Contra! Not only is she a better speaker than Barak Obama (her teleprompter malfunctioned halfway through the speech and she kept right on going!) but she managed in her speech to deliver a fatal wound to Barak Obama. For a year and a half the stumbling and incompetent Hillary campaign was never able to ask the magic question,' Who is this dude and what the fork is a 'community organizer'? But we have to be charitable to Mrs. Clinton. She only was a candidate because her husband received oral sex from a young intern in the Oval Office and lied about it under oath to a Federal Judge making her a figure of pity and obligating him to put his political machine at her disposal. She was a person with precious few accomplishments of her own; a few tedious ghost-written books, no legislative record in her brief time in the Senate and what must be the most lengthy collection of boring, nasal and idiotic speeches in the history of rhetoric. In fact, Obama's only laudable accomplishment has been the removal of the pestiferous Clintons from the national limelight FOREVER! but when BO's teleprompter broke during a speech he was reduced to stumbling ums and ahs until the problem was fixed.
But last night the stakes were high. The media uproar preceding this speech was unprecedented. The mask of journalistic ethics and unbiased fairness were discarded as the New York Slimes and MSNBC launched courageous attacks on a pregnant 17 year old and attempted to use a four-month-old Downs Syndrome baby as a football. The foaming-at-the-mouth hysteria and the painting of Sarah Palin as some kind of neo-nazi primitive cartoon character raised the stakes to a make or break level. The entire election hung on this speech. But what this media hyper-flap did was cause this speech to be viewed by more people than viewed any other speech during this long and dreary campaign.
The opening act was Rudy Giuliani. Hizzoner gave the best speech I ever heard him give. It was pure Obama-bashing and it was highly effective. At one point he mentioned the term 'community organizer' and stopped and laughed. It was obvious that as mayor he dealt with the verminous cockroaches like Al Sharpton who was a much more effective 'community organizer' than Barak Obama (he's got the burned-down Korean stores to prove it!) and had little respect for the profession of community organization. Giuliani started it off. Just what are these Hope and Change Democrats proposing to do? Who is this empty suit whose pretty speechifying has caused him to become their leader? Rudy warmed up the crowd and got them in the mood but after he left the podium. A stillness fell over the hall.
Palin emerged to a roar like no other. Neither of the Clintons or even The Obamessiah got a standing O like that thanks to the brutal media assault that Palin and her family had endured in silence. She started by simply and eloquently introducing her family. Her son on his way to Iraq in a few days, her pregnant seventeen-year-old daughter and the boyfriend-fiance who never imagined that his brief encounter with Brookey would land him on the front page of the New York Slimes and front and center on camera with the whole nation watching, all the way down to little Trig, who was passed around from family member to family member during the speech, answering the Media's phony questions about what was going to happen to this poor little mite, apparently abandoned by his mother. At one point during the speech the camera cut to the youngest daughter licking her hand and using it to lovingly smooth Trig's hair down, a scene with enough poignant warmth to cancel out the effect of a thousand column inches in the New York Slimes.
But then she moved into the attack. She savaged Obama and savaged the Democrats with a smile and a cute little Elizabeth Montgomery tweak of her nose. She ripped that phony, useless community organizer to pieces. She made a cogent, lucid case why he is not qualified to be president. She attacked the Democrats and the punches landed one after the other. Her most telling point was on energy, the issue that is going to drive this election. Lines like "the difference between a mayor and a community organizer is that a mayor has responsibilities" raised the roof as the delegates in the hall went completely insane. Wishing her son Godspeed as he deploys to Iraq and lauding America's great victory was a back-handed slap to the defeatist idiot Obama and his treasonous running dogs. The Republican ticket now has a Hero from the Vietnam War and a mother who just sent her son off to combat. The democrats?
What will be Obama's response to this attack on his resume? Probably to try to ignore it. What else can he do? Its like Kerry with the SwiftBoats or Dukakis with Willie Horton; the central core of his Hope and Change crusade has been smashed. He has to start coming up with reasons why Giuliani and Palin are wrong! He has to advance some specific policies that will advance his agenda. We're Just Like You! isn't enough anymore and if that's all they have they are going to lose the election because they're not like us at all, Palin is. Vague references to 'alternative energy' aren't going to wash against a woman who was the driving force behind a $40 billion pipeline project to bring natural gas to American consumers. The empty rhetoric has been exposed and now the Dems face a team that contains TWO major national political figures, one a better speaker than Obama and the other a man who has shown that he is ready to use aggressive and imaginative attacks to win. The ball is in the Dem's court. Smash it back boys!

If John McCain doesn't win this election he's got a job waiting for him as the head of any television network in the country. A swarm of hurricanes are headed for our coasts. wars are breaking out all over the world. The Liberals Who Dare Not Speak Their Names just finished a convention in Denver that was startling in its dullness and gloom. Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman gave great (in the case of Thompson) and interesting (in the case of Lieberman) speeches on the first/second night of the Republican Convention. Who cares?
Sarah Palin has emerged at the behest of John McCain and the libs have gone completely bananas! The wave of insane attacks has surpassed anything I personally expected to see, and I was ready for a storm of attacks. The Left has gone completely out of its collective mind. Some people are likening this to the sneaky and covert Obama smear campaign that was directed at our First Black President and The Uppity Former First Lady tagging them as racists. BJ and Brunhilda were enraged and hurt by those charges that leaked fervently from the Opposition Research team at Camp Obama and appeared in the eager Mainstream Press daily. Maybe some of the stuff in this incredible sexist assault might have been based on a few kernels of crap that the Obamanoids might have been pushing but the frenzy of hate-filled panic has not been engineered by any campaign or with any devious intention.
The libs saw that picture of Palin pointing the assault rifle, heard about her FIVE carbon-emitting children (one of them adding to the Population Crisis herself. How disgusting!), learned of her athletic past, learned that she intentionally goes out and shoots Gaia's friendly animal citizens, and heard that she loudly and vocally is religious and anti-abortion. The libs just put their heads down and CHARGED! They didn't need talking points faxed over from the Obama campaign or snidey clues leaked through sympathetic bloggers. The libs don't need any instructions from anybody to hate Sarah Palin; she's like everything they hate rolled into one.
Which brings us to John McCain. I am going to stop referring to him as McLame from this day until the end of the election. I know how much grief he has given us conservatives in the past but the other day he swung and landed a blow against the libs that has unleashed the political debate that we have wanted to have with these dopes for years! Eight years of Bush comity are GONE! Hallelujah! This is now a Fight To The Death! There has never been such a stark and blatant attack on the liberals. They are shocked to their souls and responding to McCain's provocation in a very undisciplined and unseemly way. A way that defines them as the totalitarian creeps that they are. It is stark and clear for all to see. Recently Us Magazine ran a misty cover photo of Barak and Michelle, So much in love! This week Us Magazine is sporting a cover photo of Sarah Palin holding her recently-born youngest child with the headings emblazoned in huge type 'Babies, Lies and Scandal!' From Maureen Dowd to Chris Matthews the libs have flipped out completely; attacking her pregnant 17-year-old daughter, sneering at her mayorship as not being real experience (she never organized a single community) and just being generally enraged...the most vicious personal attacks I've ever seen. Underneath is a seething sexism that is going to spill over into the suburbs of this country. Women who don't have degrees from major universities are just a bunch of loud-mouthed trailer sluts, not fit for decent company, certainly never qualified for any kind of public office is the story-line implicit in the attacks on Palin. So why don't you PWT broads just shut up and let well-educated experts us 'help' you run your unfashionable little lives.
McCain's decision to declare Jihad on the libs has united and energized the party in a way that was unthinkable four days ago! That's seizing the initiative in my book. I'm happy to be a foot soldier in this revolution! This guy likes to FIGHT! After decades of sniveling Republican meekness in the face of these thugs and bullies I'm happy to follow somebody who likes to fight. He's already caught Obama flat-footed several times and my vision of a pathetic old Dole '96 rerun is out the window.
Can the Dems rise to this challenge? Obama didn't do very well after his initial couple of months of victories. When the Clints came back fighting he didn't change his strategy or tactics one single bit. He took the punches and won on points. Instead of moving to crush the impudent Clintons once he had it locked Obama froze and just went with the flow of events. That worked against the mortally wounded and inherently unpopular Clinton Crime Family. Its obviously the wrong stance to take against somebody who's coming at you swinging hard.
And the guy's a gambler. The entire election could hang on tonight's speech by a person McCain doesn't know very well. That's the kind of risk that most people in government can't even conceive of taking. He's the kind of a guy that I want leading my country when we have a crisis with Vladimir Putin or Ahmadinajahd. Or would you prefer the Obama/Pelosi approach? So I have completely turned around, and in that I'm not alone. The entire party is mad with delight!
The Great Battle has finally arrived. Showmaster McCain has ensured that every eyeball in America will be glued to the tube. His numbers are going to blow the Olympics and the Obamathon into the trash can of history! Is this the Kamakaze End of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party? This will not be a close election. One side is going to win. My side.

Smart or dumb you have to admit the the Sarah Palin choice of VP nominee shows the cranky old duffer really wants to win BAD! It's an incredible risk, after all. Even though Obama picked a notorious idiot with a head full of chia-pet-looking hair plugs who has an unbroken thirty-six year record of left-wing votes, moronic miscues and tooth-filled grimaces when he is crossed at some committee hearing we're all used to Joe Biden's ineffective irrelevance. One look at Barak Obama tells you that he's not about to keel over any time soon so Biden can just spend the next four years dedicating bridges and going to funerals.
Palin is another story. She is an unabashed Social Conservative, something that has literally never been seen in a national campaign. Even hunters like Dick Cheney are usually seen in Elmer Fudd-looking twee country outfits responsibly holding their shotgun at the safe angle as they quietly stalk mallards in the canebreaks not dressed in cammo intensely aiming an M-16 at some out-of-frame menace. In my neck of the woods horrible rural rednecks who drive snowmobiles real fast through Gaia's peaceful forest spewing Global Warming-causing carbon emissions as they head home for a bowl of moose chili made from the carcass of some poor innocent critter they wasted with their laser-sighted, high-muzzle-velocity state-of-the-art rifle are the dreaded enemy. Having five, FIVE!, children is an act of appalling gaucherie, another rural affectation that shows how extreme Sarah Palin is to us urbanites. She's not Health Club healthy she's Outdoors healthy. She says a lot to NASCAR people but my youngest daughter, a true swing voter going back and forth between her default Dem leanings and her dislike of Obama and his socialism, Palin's social conservative views are a shock. But she certainly will have the same effect on born-again Christians that Obama has on blacks. She will spur a massive and enthusiastic turnout among people who were talking about staying home this time. She helps down-ticket Republican candidates in tight races.
Another thing about Palin is that, unlike the apparently healthful Obama, the Wrinkly Old White Dude (thanks Paris!) has a history of cancer and sometimes turns a bright shade of purple when he's crossed. He could go any day in a cinniption fit or be eaten by a raging melanoma. You have to seriously consider whether Palin has the grit to take on the Presidency; it's a real possibility. That is something she's going to have to prove by getting out on the stump. The enraged libs, furious that McLame has smacked them and knocked them off the stupid 'we're just like you' message that Barak's weak closing speech didn't sell, are going to hit this chick with everything but the kitchen sink. She's everything they really hate. Dickless Cheney.
To add to her list of deviltry in lib eyes is her unabashed association with and advocacy of Big Oil. Drilling gets you pregnant and solves energy crisises and Sarah Palin is obviously a drilling enthusiast. The cause of increasing our nation's production of hydrocarbons will have a sexy and effective spokesperson and that is the issue that will determine this election. Nothing else. The swing group, blue-collar working class types, love their carbon culture. This weekend, in Southern California, there's a three hundred mile line of Winnebagos, SUVs and pick ups leaving the burbs and heading out to the desert and The River (the Colorado River) towing trailers with dirt bikes, ATVs, Jet-skis and dune buggies filled with the swing voters that McLame and the boys want to get. The kind of people who want so see some ballsy babe take on a pack of sneering elitist Ivy League educated smart boys and whip their butts while she defends every American's God-Given right to internal combustion. Now all she has to do is whip their butts. I'll be watching.
