I never thought I would see it. An angry crowd berates the candidate for not attacking his opponent! This limp noodle of a McLame is standing there letting the Democrats get away with the biggest governmental blunder since Mao Tse Tung's 'Great Leap Forward'. He's letting Obama walk away from the fact that he emerged from the Far Left of the Democratic Party and now is pretending to be some kind of a moderate. McLame is ignoring massive, systematic voter fraud by a radical left-wing group which has received large infusions of cash from the Obama Campaign and for which Obama worked as a community organizer!

Members of the crowd, in what was supposed to be a 'town meeting' full of sympathetic supporters demanded that McLame start getting tough with his opponents. Obama went through that entire last debate without having to answer one single question about his involvement with the people who ran Fannie and Freddie. But more important he should have to explain the underlying policy of making mortgages available to people who were formerly thought to be unqualified to get a mortgage. The Democrat line was always that these people were victims of 'redlining' and one form of discrimination or another and were kept from their 'right' to own a home by greedy bankers imposing unreasonable restrictions. It turns out the the restrictions were very reasonable and kept a crowd of vulture-like speculators at bay. As soon as the document-free 125% no down mortgages with a low two year negative amortization teaser rate appeared house values ceased making any sense and a crash became inevitable.

Has McLame missed what a big issue this is? Obama hasn't. He's got a simple, understandable explaination. The Republicans, under McLame's good buddy George Bush, removed the restrictions and allowed Greedy Wall Street Bankers to make worthless loans which they now are proceeding to sell to the taxpayers at full value. The eternal nudnik Bush can be forgiven if he sits quietly and lets himself be blamed for yet another Democratic disaster, that's who he is.
McLame is also reluctant to issue the mildest criticism of his Dem buddies. The reason Palin has made such a splash is that she has no such inhibitions. Even reigned in as she was she womped that lump of a Biden. I guess we cant expect something like that out of McLame.

But we're furious. Those people in that crowd were speaking to my heart. They should have tarred and feathered that old duffer and declared a party mutiny-- one that placed Palin in the top spot on the ticket. At least she would go down fighting. The leader that we have yearned for since the retirement of Reagan and through the long night of Bush-Clinton-Bush has arrived and unfortunately is tied to a worthless old Maverick. Fight for us, and stop sucking up to your buddies in the Senate! Obama is the most vulnerable candidate in political history.

People chide the media for bias. McLame doesn't. He doesn't ask why him and Palin will go on liberal news shows but why Obama can't do an interview with Brit Hume or Charles Krauthammer. Why there is never a conservative journalist 'moderateing' one of these phony debates. Not ask, YELL TO THE SKIES! The media will have to cover that.

He'll never do it. He doesn't have a song in his heart. Right now the polls are showing an Obama massacre. You can all believe that people are going to look past the voter fraud and forget who engineered this mortgage mess and dance to the polls to happily install the least qualified presidential candidate in American history. I don't see it. I think that the voter fraud by the ugly thugs at ACORN is the Wellstone Funeral of this election. Obama is a dishonest sleaze and I think that this election will turn on the last weekend. If McLame hits him hard enough Obama will lose big.

So now its time for McLame to lift himself out of his stubborn accomodationism and listen to the angry mob. Does he have it in him? Probably not.

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.

Wahovia trembles. Overseas banks collapse. Economic panic and chaos in Russia. Hyper inflation and disruption in India. Even China starts to be dragged down by the current global attack of financial insanity. The US Congress at first stepped up to the plate and added enough provisions to the Paulsen Plan to convert our economy to a socialist state like Zimbabwe at a cost that would either mandate outright confiscation of all income or a complete devaluation of the currency. Or both.

Why are people dumb enough to vote for Democrats? It used to be that the Mainstream Media controlled the flow of information and only geniuses like Reagan, who had the knack of talking past them; hardened obfuscators like Eisenhower who had the knack of cloaking his real intentions in several layers of seemingly incoherent nonsense and out-and-out tricksters like Tricky Dick could get through the liberal blather and get themselves elected and make a difference in the direction that things were going in. But now you can go on the internet or listen to talk radio. There are a dozen great magazines you could subscribe to. Anyone who still believes that this problem was caused by a lack of government intervention in the markets is a thick-headed, ignorant retard.

Unfortunately it seems that thick-headed, ignorant retards seem to abound in the halls of Congress and under the harsh fluorescent lights of America's newsrooms. Even so this is a political time-bomb under the feet of the GUILTY Democrats. That was the party that campaigned on 'Culture Of Corruption' two years ago; roping in enough borderline retards, granola-eaters, welfare chiselers, illegal aliens, felons, self-serving employees of the massive and growing cancer of government and absentee ballots from pets and mental patients to build a coalition of greedy parasites, utopians and mendacious power-trippers numerous enough to allow the Democrats gain control of the Congress from the feeble Bush-destroyed former conservative party.

The Dems fingerprints are all over this mess. The plan that the toothless Bush was ready to sign was a recipe for Depression; worse even than doing nothing. You can recover from a crash; overregulation and high taxes are terminal. But the Dems, aware of how culpable they are, refused to pass this mess into law without Bi-Partisan Unity. That means they want Republicans to blame if this doesn't work; its already universally described in the media as 'the Bush Bailout Plan'.

That's when the Hero, John Boehner, stepped up and halted the entire process. At the fatal meeting in the Cabinet Room Thursday, where BH Obama and his aggression, spawned by his total and complete ignorance of what was going on, caused a food fight which alarmed even the comatose Bush and during which the Wrinkly Old White Dude sat silent, Boehner dug in his heels and refused to turn America's mortgage markets over to the tender mercies of ACORN. Under that bill a crowd of slimy attorneys and cockroach-like 'community organizers' would gain control of your mortgage and apply the 'Law Of Fairness' to the horrible injustice that lets some people live in nice houses while others live in slums. Yuppies who figured on retiring on the equity of their house would have found themselves living in the hybrid mini-van one step ahead of the repo man while their four thousand-square foot McMansion is torn apart and destroyed by a riotous crowd of 'the deserving poor'.

There would be a kind of justice in that as mini-van driving Yuppies are the thick-headed, ignorant retards who generally vote for democrats in the fervent hope that they'll fix the weather. The Dems cant fix the weather, which is showing suspicious signs of not being broken in the first place, and they can't fix this financial crisis either.

Even stripped of the errant idiocy proposed by the Democrats the Paulsen Plan might not work. The damage is too widespread. This is the kind of thing that just gathers momentum. All the decades of patches and ad hoc solutions are coming back to bite us. The giant, empty, real estate bubble is bursting and is ready to take everything down with it. The days of a funky three-bedroom house in a suburban neighborhood in Los Angeles selling for $800,000 are over. Jim Cramer says the market is headed for 8300. That will certainly change a few life-styles!

The Dems hope they can hang this whole deal on McCain and Bush. Bush is in a cocoon, he matters less and less. McCain is a different story. He has only one way out of this, politically. He has to tell the truth about the Democrats. That's something he manifestly did not do during the debate. Thats something he hasn't ever done but he better make up his mind to be a Republican or lose the election. somebady is going to get nailed for this; shouldn't it be the people who were actually responsible-- Clinton, Frank, Dodd and the rest of the Socialist low-lifes who engineered this disaster in the name of compassion.

OK, I guess McCain won last night. How could he not against that facile empty fraud who was posing across the stage from him? But for me it was a very unsatisfying performance; one that reminded me of everything I disliked about McCain in the first place. Rush Limbaugh warned of this but in my eagerness to see a real scrap I allowed myself to get overly enthusiastic.

The debate reminded me of a salient fact; McCain is NOT a Conservative. Period. He still has a fond spot in his heart for Democrats and doesn't want all-out war. How else do you explain him not bringing up the Democratic Party's intimate involvement in the current mortgage crisis? While Obama was blaming this mess on Bush policies why didn't McCain mention that Obama was the second highest recipient of fan-Fred campaign contributions and that two crooks who stole $100 million dollars were Obama 'economic advisers'? Is he willing to take the blame while Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, the two most culpable players in this entire business, walk away scott-free? Apparently so.

The debate was hosted by long-in-the-tooth Jim Lehrer, who brought all the magic and charisma that makes his nightly news show so phenomenally boring. I guess that was a plus for McCain because in comparison to Lehrer's stringy neck wattles, buggy eyes and palsied tremors Mccain looked hale and healthy. Maybe, in one of these 'debates', they could actually have a conservative host for once, instead of these dessicated, predictable mainstream media liberals.

The format was better than most because it allowed them to really respond to each other; an opportunity that they failed to avail themselves of very often. There were no spirited clashes or witty repartee. They hardly talked to each other directly at all. This was the clash of the briefing books. A bloodless round of recitals of what their advisers figured people wanted to hear. But they were both wrong. People wanted to hear a song about how everything was going to be all right in these increasingly frightening times and they never got to that tune at all.

But McCain won anyway, in spite of all this. Obama CANT say what he actually stands for; dismantling the military, raising taxes and cutting loose huge chunks of government cash to his crooked cronies and fellow 'community organizers'. It doesn't matter, we all know that's what he'll do. His slimy evasions and twists of the truth about his advocacy of defeat in Iraq fooled no one. His complete lack of any ideas about how to deal with Iran or Russia was obvious.

Where McCain DID score big was on energy and its relationship to our national strength in the world. Drill for oil, build nuke power plants; a simple idea that everyone can understand. And guess who it turns out was for these things all along, Barry and the Democrats! If you believe that you should have your driver's license taken away because you're too mentally incompetent to be trusted behind the wheel. That flagrant lie will not hold water. Neither will Obama's promise to not raise taxes. At one point he exclaimed that McCain's proposed tax cuts left out 100 million people. When Democrats talk about a tax cut for the poor, who pay no income taxes under the present system, they mean an increase in the payout from the Earned Income Tax Credit. To them a tax cut is giving a large refund check to people who don't pay taxes. To them an 'investment' is wasteful government spending. After all, the money that they throw in the trash can goes back into the economy when the recipients spend it. They don't have a clue as to how wealth is created and the destructive effect that giving away money has on everyone who gets it.

So McCain won on points. He didn't land any telling blows but if we wanted that we would have nominated Mark Levin instead of this lukewarm centrist. However, winning on points is still a win and all McCain needs to win the election this is to convince the voters that he's not too old to be president. He outdid Obama enough times to show that his age wasn't a factor. He kept Obama constantly off balance and forced him to agree that McCain was right several times. Obama has a tougher task. He has to give people a convincing reason to overlook the ugly associations in his still-vague past and put forward a credible plan of action. He never does. He criticizes Bush and McCain and says how bad things are but he never says anything specific about what he intends to do. He just stood there bobbing and weaving like the slimy left-wing con-artist that he is spouting the usual guff that anyone who has followed this business has become more than accustomed to. It adds up to a great big NOTHING! He is a pathetically inadequate candidate.

Those looking for a knockout blow, or even a good punch-up came away disappointed but I'm of good cheer. The Dems are not having a good time this election cycle. The romp that they expected to vast majorities in both houses and an ineffectual dope of their own party sitting in the Oval Office ready to rubber-stamp whatever congress decides to flop onto his desk is coming unglued. All their compassion twaddle appears to be backfiring as people look at the monstrous government screw-up of the mortgage industry and start having second thoughts about making the same people who caused it more powerful.

As the country teeters on a cliff McCain undrops out of the Great Debate! This is not your average election, that's for sure! The stakes of that debate have now been raised to the absolute maximum. McCain is the most consummate gambler that we have seen in politics since Nixon. He is a risk-taker who takes the war to the enemy. By flying to Washington to put the kybosh on another Bush surrender to the Democrats he not only stopped a destructive and outrageous Democrat money-grab but he made Obama look like a lightweight fool. The Dems are now lying and screaming at McCain for acting like the leader of the Republican Party. That's a bold new concept; a leader of the Republican Party who objects to proposals by the Democrats! The age of spinelessness that began with Bush 41 two decades ago and continued through the Senate majority leaders Dole and Frist, that giant blob of Pork Fat Dummy Hastert and the despicable 'bipartisan' squishiness of Bush 43 is now over. McCain wants to fight! The thought that an outraged Barney Frank would be screaming and losing it and that Chris Dodd would be so bent out of shape when they had had $700 bil, the Mother Of All Earmarks, so nearly in their pockets.

The fact of the matter is that, plainly, most Americans are against handing $700 billion over to the banks who made these bad loans. These Inside The Beltway politicos and the bureaucrats and bankers that are the intended beneficiaries of this bailout all live in the same cultural milieu; the rude objections of the proletariat are foreign and dissonant to them. The Democrats had even been kind enough to consider the housing needs of the poor; included in the bailout is a massive subsidy to ACORN, the Marxist radical group currently being investigated in fifteen states on charges of voter fraud. The Dems could be said to be buying fake absentee ballots from a gang of criminals.

Barney Frank and Chris Dodd must be biting their nails. Rush Limbaugh screaming their records of guilt and corruption at the top of his lungs every day has to be terrifying to them.
The Dems are in a pickle. They are pushing a bailout plan which is becoming increasingly unpopular. The only people who will talk about the details are the people who are against it. The people who are for it have to keep vague and stay in platitude-land because the details are horrible and unpopular with the electorate. With the financial sector on the edge of panic and the country not far behind them its certain that something will emerge but the Dem's dream package that they almost got the hapless Bush to front for is dead as a doornail unless they pass it using their majorities, making it a 'Democrat' bill. Thank you John Boehner, thank you John McCain.

So now, in this fevered atmosphere, McCain has said that he'll turn up at the debate. Talk about raising the temperature and the ratings! Obama's training session has been blown to smithereens and now the kid has to do some improv up on the stage with The Kindly Old Duffer. And on foreign policy too! That's great! As a Citizen Of The World I love Foreign Policy! I wonder how much Barak Obama knows about Foreign Policy? Now he's walking onto the stage unrehearsed and off balance, without his teleprompter. Obama has to be rattled. McCain has now landed blows against him that even the Clintons never came up with. In fact the Clintons seem to be mighty friendly with McCain these days. Payback. BJ says that he's going to campaign for Obama after the Jewish Holidays. A lot of people assume that he's talking about Yom Kippur in October. This is BILL CLINTON you idiots! He's talking about Hanukkah!

Now Rush Limbaugh is recounting yesterday's meeting at the White House. Apparently ole Barry was the one that caused absolute chaos. The Democrats deferred to him as the leader of the party and he blew it! His ignorance of the details and aggression against the Republicans turned the meeting into a disaster. There was a total breakdown. McCain had little to do with it, beyond luring the foolish Obama out of his depth. The Dems are going ballistic, accusing McCain of interfering with the process, trying to cover for the incompetence of their candidate. They don't have the guts to defend their bill, or even to pass it over the heads of the Republicans using their majorities in both houses. They must be biting their nails about the debate tonight with that callow youth about to climb, unbriefed and badly shaken, into the ring with the guy who put him into the center of this maelstrom to make a complete fool of himself.

I think that McCain forcing Obama to attend that meeting at the White House was a stroke of political genius. McCain always leads, Obama follows. McCain has been ahead of Barry at every turn. Look for a kidney punch at this debate. Obama is not ready for Prime Time.

I can't wait!

When are these befuddled senior citizens going to stop thrashing young black males whenever they feel like it? Just look at what happened to poor Barry Obama, an innocent community organizer from Chicago. One day he was sitting in his house, minding his own business, STUDYING! Yes, that's right, he was improving his mind, something that all of us might imitate. Obama was preparing for a debate with that feeble old duffer that the Dems think they foisted onto the Republicans...you know, Bob Dole Two, 1996 II.

All of a sudden McCain was threatening to pull out of the foreign policy debate that had so absorbed Barry's attention, suspended his campaign and flown to Washington to join in the scrimmage to bail out the Democrat-caused mortgage mess. The Dems had been dragging their feet, making demands that would have effectively prolonged the crisis and led to de facto nationalization of the financial sector. This was tricky for them because so many of their cronies were running Fannie and Freddie and all the rules that had let them run amok were proposed by Democrats. All the opposition to attempts to control the financial insanity were opposed by the same Democrats who were milking huge contributions from from the crooks, mostly former Clinton Administration bigwigs, who have walked away with tens of millions from the collapsing agencies.

The specter of McCain on the floor of the Senate loudly and publicly doing something about a current problem caused the Dems in Congress to panic and basically give supposed 'lame-duck' Bush everything he wants, yet again. This guy that Harry Reid has called a borderline retard has outwitted him at every turn. The only problem still remaining are conservative Republicans who are appalled at the cost and philosophy of this giant bailout of another Act Of Compassion gone wrong. None of the policies that caused this will be changed. The Community Reinvestment Act will not be repealed. Neither will Sarbanes-Oxley and its idiotic accounting rules.

So McCain gets his mug on the tube grabbing the problem by the horns while O'Blunder announces that they can phone him if they need him. Who needs him anyway? He never attended the Senate much anyhow and was a certain vote for whatever Harry and the Boys were cooking up, when he bothered to vote at all. McCain has caught this amateur flat-footed yet again. He didn't sit there waiting for the loudmouth Dems to pin this crisis on him; he acted and made Barry look like a fool.

I hope the debate goes ahead as planned. Barry's studies were not just about what he doesn't know; they were about him not spilling the beans about the stuff he does know. Anyone who listened the the Dem debates during the primaries knows that Obama is a walking Huffpo cliche thinly spread over a core of total ignorance. Now his three-day intensive cram course on middle-of-the-road lies in an attempt to fool the mouth-breathing droolers into thinking that he wont lead the country off a cliff in his first six weeks of governance has been totally disrupted by McCain's stunt. The normally gaffe-prone radical, who has been flubbing his 'moderate' script every time he gets in an unscripted interview is now exposed to the tricky old geezer without the proper brainwashing.

I can't wait.

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.

Watching McCain throw away one of the great political issues of all time makes me want to take back everything complimentary that I've said about him for the last few weeks and break my vow against using the nickname McL... that I swore I would drop from my blog. Maybe its me. Maybe I'm just a hate-filled, raging angry partisan who needs to wash down a valium with some brandy and switch my radio from Mark Levin to Easy listening. Put away the White Zombie and concentrate on Mozart, so to speak. But look at what he's been doing! The Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae scandals are one hundred percent Democrat. The people who milked tens of millions from them in undeserved bonuses were top Clinton Administration officials. Millions were handed out to Jesse Jackson's Operation PUSHY and the career criminals at ACORN. All the political contributions that these two quasi-governmental mock corporations handed out were to Democrats; biggest receivers being Chris Dodd, BARAK OBAMA, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton. I'd watch out for a sawed-off governor of New Mexico if I were them; it seems that he was the only one on the stage of the Dem presidential debates that wasn't pocketing huge wads of cash from Freddie and Fannie and he's probably mighty POed to find out about it. Richardson has probably been wandering the halls of the state house in Santa Fe late at night drunk with a loaded revolver babbling about 'fixing those bustards'. I wouldn't be surprised to find that Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer weren't raking in some nice 'consultancy' fees on the side. This is a perfect example of the Dems using the government to intervene in the market, in this case by removing almost all obstacles to qualifying for a mortgage while they made credit card interest non-deductable, ensuring that people would constantly refinance consumer debt into the inflated equity of their house and opening the door to flippers and speculators of all sorts. Then, when the house of cards collapses these rats pocket their ill-gotten gains and walk away singing a soul-stirring aria about how 'the unregulated free market just doesn't work'! San Fran Nan says this has nothing to do with the Democrats and that she's going to launch an investigation...right after Hell freezes over from Global Cooling. The New York Slimes and the rest of the media mutts are barking about the failure of Free Enterprise and how this proves we need more government. More government? Did those Clintonistas forget to steal something? They screw up everything they touch with their idiocy about inclusiveness tied to a Pacific Ocean sized lust for unearned cash. If these socialist choads get their incompetent hands on our medical system we're going to live short painful existences before we end up croaking during the 36 hour wait to see a practical nurse at one of the few remaining clinics.
Now we have the nauseating sight of Barak 'going on the offensive' to get his Big Mo back by ATTACKING MCCAIN about his role in the Fred-Fan crash! Talk about offensive! Two of his economic advisors are Johnson and Raines who walked away with $100 mil from the wreck of Fan-Fred.  But thats what you expect from a Democrat, they're the worst liars possible. You have to be if you represent a philosophy with a century-long record of TOTAL FAILURE! The decade and a half of dominance by the Clintons, who were so egregiously dishonest that they seemed, by comparison, to be even more dishonest than regular Democrats, might have blinded us to the fact that all Democrats are equally dishonest. Mark Levin talks today about how Barney Frank and Co. opposed a Bush attempt in 2003 to impose regulations and controls on Freddie and Fannie by citing the needs of the poor and minorities while him and his friends were looting this taxpayer-funded pool of cash and reviling free markets. For one of the biggest political beneficiaries ($125,000 in contributions) Barak Obama, to now be on the stump trying to lay this on the shoulders of Bush, who tried to stop it, and McCain, who didn't take a penny from this trough of sludge, is loudly speaking the biggest political lie since the 9/11 commission (starring Jamie Gorelick who received a cool $40 mil from Fred-Fan) let the incompetent Clinton Administration off the hook for the terrorist attacks. These same people whose lies and incompetence have been overlooked when they got three thousand people killed and 10% of the office space in NYC reduced to a smoking crater are now popping up in the smoldering wreckage of the home mortgage industry with a long record of paying Democratic legislators to head off the many attempts at oversight by the GSA or the Bush Administration.
Now, with the Democrats yelling about the failures of the market and the Bush Administration...and McCain's inability to understand 'the pain of the little guy' it seems that, yet again, our Aisle-Crossing Fearless Leader is reluctant to speak the truth against his aisle-crossing buddies on the Dem side of the aisle. I guess a few weeks of actually fighting back against these greedy, lying, larcenous creeps was too much for the old duffer. He's already been feeling guilty about Rudy Giuliani pointing out what a total ZERO Barak Obama is at the convention and doesn't want to lower the tone of the campaign by mentioning that Barak took a hundred and twenty five G's from the crooks who were looting the mortgage system. I'm so sick of losing these fights because of the silence of the people who are supposed to be on our side. Is this lie going to fly without anyone but the usual ineffective voices on the right taking notice? Does Scooter Libby get grilled for years and convicted in a kangaroo court of absolutely nothing while these criminals get to walk away unquestioned with tens of millions of dollars that they stole while they were wrecking the financial system that all of us have to live with? After the fuss that got made about Enron why are these guys getting so cleanly away? I am a hate-filled angry partisan when I see injustice like this. The Dems get away with murder and the Republicans get convicted of phony crimes. Bush and Cheney might even deserve the prison time the Dems are planning to give them for winning the war in Iraq against the Dems' terrorist friends because they let the Dems run amok on so many of these issues without making a squeak. When Barney Frank blocked the oversight of Fannie and Freddie why didn't Bush organize the Republicans, who had the majority at that time, to stand up and fight? Maybe he thought that making that giant bag of excess weight that was called Denny Hastert stand up and do anything was impossible, so why bother?
But that shouldn't stand in McCain's way. He's running against the second largest recipient of Fan-Fred political bribes and we haven't heard a dickey-bird from his tight dry lips. I thought he was a fighter but now he's turned into a limp, squishy piece of overcooked Inside-The -Beltway Pasta. Its sickening.

'You Can Put Lipstick on a Pig, But It's Still a Pig!'

It would be hard to imagine a more politically inappropriate and downright stupid remark for a male candidate who just defeated a female candidate for the nomination and is pitted against a compelling woman on the other party's ticket to make.
But our National Community Organizer has basically called middle class women who identify with Sarah Palin a bunch of pigs! The swing-over-to-the-trough voters. Its not sexism, its snobbery. These libs find Sarah Palin appalling! Imagine, a moose-shooting snowmobiler married to an Eskimo oil-rig roughneck who's had five kids, one of them already knocked up! PWTs, if you know what I mean. Those are the kind of people you see wandering around Washington DC pointing their digital cameras at the Lincoln Memorial, not officeholders, for God's Sake! The best thing you can say about Actual Americans is that they go home after a short time and don't have the impertinence to eat in Washington's better bistros. The thought of Dick Cheney in his little duck-hunting outfit out in the marshes ambushing ducks with his bird-shotgun is bad enough but still suitably aristocratic; the photos of Palin show her in full cammo aiming an assault weapon into the distance. It would be better to have a spread of naked pictures taken by some former boyfriend in Playboy than that assault-gun photo in the minds of your average liberals. Think of the poor mooses as the snowmobile approaches and as the little red dot from the laser-scope finds its mark...hard to imagine Dianne Feinstein or Hillary Clinton on the other end, isn't it?
Thats why they're not pigs! The color of their lipstick is not 'Mooseblood' but 'Code Pinko'.
This is the day after Obama with George Stephanopolis, in a relationship that was legitimized by the Laurence Vs Texas decision by the SCOTUS in 2003, referred to 'my Muslim religion...'
Are these guys aware that U-Tube exists and that these remarks will be seen by tens of millions without having to be filtered and 'explained' by the proper media geniuses? They also don't seem to be aware that people only see the soundbyte, 'My Muslim faith...' 'Lipstick on a pig...'
and dont give a rat's hiney about the context.
If things weren't bad enough somewhere in an undisclosed location 'Plugs' Biden has further refined the porker qualities of those lipsticked trailer broads by positing the interesting idea that if you don't support government-funded embryonic stem cell research you can't possibly be said to have any regard for children with disabilities. And that goes double for you devout Catholics. Its not religion that has humanity and compassion; everybody who's anybody knows what a crock Christianity is, its the federal government from which the manna flows!
And these remarks are just in a two-day period. Are these guys for real? If this keeps up they're going to have trouble winning in Illinois, California, Massachusetts and New York. They're already screwed in places like Minnesota and even New Jersey with this crap. How can they be so stupid?
Meanwhile, they're running against a disciplined team with a well-worked-out game plan but with enough flexibility to improvise and exploit any openings that appear. They introduced Palin and then stood back, got out of the limelight and let these idiots say things like the quote that headlines this piece. McCain is a counter-puncher, he lets Obama swing and then gets in close and nails him. All this fear and rage by the libs is misdirected against Palin, they're still completely underestimating McCain to the point where you have to wonder if Obama & Co. have taken the time to sit back and assess the nature of their opponent. They're still spewing the same lines that they were using six months ago. McCain has radically changed his tactics and they haven't budged, except to panic and get nasty. Bad for a messiah and The Party That Cares. Everybody is always calling the libs Marxists but if I was their Dialectical Materialism teacher I would flunk these idiots for not understanding the political relationship of the classes in present-day America. They're not even competent Marxists!
Now a host of Obama media workers, AKA reporters from the 'objective' media, are crawling all over Alaska thinking they can annoy and bullyrag the inhabitants all they like while they dig up dirt on a very popular figure in the state. Lets hope that the gentle inhabitants of Wassilla treat these media folk the way that any snobbish condescending elitist overdressed overpaid hostile rude outsider is always treated when they walk around shooting their overeducated know-it-all mouths off in a tavern filled with tough drunk working people who fled the lower forty-eight because they couldn't stand how their country was being destroyed by a bunch of power-mad wankers. My advice to the media is to make sure your health insurance is paid up and if a little red dot appears anywhere on your body DUCK!

The final evening of the Republican Convention gave us a glimpse of what it would have been like if McCain had gone with his instincts and picked a candidate close to his heart. The first and second night highlighted his opponents in the primaries; Thompson, Romney and especially Giuliani. All of them gave fine and stirring speeches making you wonder how the back-of-the-pack, least popular, almost non-Republican, managed to slip by in such a short time and beat these excellent candidates to the finish line. Of course, the headliner was Palin, the best speaker of either convention giving the best-written speech of either convention with a build-up that a billion dollars worth of advertising couldn't buy. She emerged as the candidate we should have chosen for the top of the ticket. But we didn't.
So on this last night, after the opponents had stood up to honorably give their support to the nominee and the new Star Was Born on the previous nights, we had the Parade Of The Cronies.
Lindsay Grahamnesty got up and spoke. How do speakers this bad manage to get people to vote for them? It was awful. I don't remember a word he said. It was all delivered in this broken monotone. He lost the crowd's attention after a couple of minutes and just rambled on until he sputtered to a stop. Groan. This guy just radiates 'lightweight'. A good pick for Secretary Of Paper-Clip Allotments in the new administration.
Then came Ridge. This was the caliber of human who was on the 'short list' of VP choices. His selection as the VP pick would have ended the Republican Party as a political entity in this country. To steal a Monthy Python quote, "Dull, dull, dull...Oh God he's dull!" My head was spinning. I suspected that my wife had slipped some liquid codeine into my Diet Vernors so she could slip out for a fast fling with one of the Mexican yardboys. This guy made Grahamnesty seem like Cicero before the Senate. But Ridge and the equally weak Lieberman were the candidates of McCain's soggy, liberal, mosseaten heart. All the fire and truth of the previous evenings, the evenings with the real Republicans, were gone in the Dance Of The Aisle-Crossers; a ballet preformed with the dancers dressed in hidebound cliches and stomping clumsily to the rhythm of the Bi-Partisan minuet. Diaghalev meets a political Salvadore Dali, I thought my TV was going to melt and run down onto the hardwood floor from this concrete idiocy.
But they weren't done. Not by a long shot. The haymaker that would put us into a deep coma was on the way. Cindy McCain. Now, I know what you're thinking. You've all read my previous remarks that I think Michelle Obama is the O-bomb-a! Her eyes, the set of her chin, the way she moves, that's a compelling Democrat! Cindy? Not so much, but its not for lack of raw materials, its for lack of trying. She looks good, dresses sharp, she's naturally very good looking in a way that plays well on the tube...a then she spoke. She spoke for a long time I think. The syrupy platitudes rolled out like a Mississippi of mush delivered in a voice honed to forensic excellence at the Minnie Mouse Academy Of Oratory. The most memorable moment of Cindy McCain's speech for me was when my wife walked in the room, shook me and said, "Will you stop snoring!" I took a walk into the back yard to clear my head.
When I got back it was dinner time so having to set the table and lock all the cats inside (there have been some coyote kills in the neighborhood recently so we trap them inside at sundown)
prevented any further attacks of politically-induced narcolepsy and made me miss the McCain film except in passing. It looked like a typical political bio. Instantly forgettable.
And then, there he was! The Wrinkly Old White Dude. The speech chugged on and on. I guess he was hoping that the narcotizing effect of the previous speakers had numbed the audience into paralysis and we were laying there like a boatload of stunned mullets letting this drivel wash over us. He ended on a more emotional note, evoking his heroism and then launching into an upbeat rhetorical flurry but it was sad after the previous evening.
And what does this go to show? It shows that the Republican Party has incredible vitality and life but it has become the home of some of the most dull, visionless functionaries and equivocators in the universe. The McCain crowd. The Bush crowd.
So, why do I support the guy, you ask? When it came to a choice between being groovy and bi-partisan and fighting to win McCain bypassed the Ridges, Pawlentys and Liebermans and selected a candidate that sent a giant jolt of energy through the party and dealt a crushing blow to the Democrat's attempt to win the hearts and minds of the Middle. When it came to a choice between losing civily and all-out-war he chose all-out-war. He could see the sorry sight his bi-partisan friends present and he knows he needs conservatives completely on his side because we like to fight too. We've been yearning for a fight. McCain knows about strategy and he knows that once you commit yourself to a struggle this intense there is no turning back. He's a conservative whether he likes it or not. A conservative who had been a joke to the Democrats, Bush's Third Term, an old Dole-like duffer, who would be easily pushed aside had now landed some telling blows and produced in Palin a candidate who just by her mere presence is a declaration of Total War to the libs. They are more than angry. They will attack McCain with attacks that will make their eight year verbal assault on the milquetoast Bush look like timid satire. So McCain has put us onboard and then bet the farm. This election is the showdown and we have a cunning, aggressive leader who is now stepped over the line and is landing blows. Do you think that if the Dems are robbed of a victory this November in an election that made Sarah Palin into the most prominent woman in the country that they are going to be in a 'bi-partisan' mood? Add raging partisan hatred to the natural antagonism between the Executive and Legislative branches and the chances of McCain turning into a liberal Bush-Bunny are zero. He is trapped in conservatism whether he likes it or not. The most important thing to this guy is winning. He can't win without us.

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.

The frog-pool wanted a king,
Jove sent them Old King Log.
I have been deaf and blind and wooden as a log.

By dulling the blade of tyranny I fell into great error.
By whetting the same blade I might redeem that error.
Violent disorders call for violent remedies.

Yet I am, I must remember, Old King Log.
I shall float inertly in the stagnant pool.
Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out.

Robert Graves
'Claudius The God'

What poisons are there that lurk in our Modern Mud? The poison that the government is the insurer of last resort; that when there is a problem the government is the solution. The poison of a thousand selfish special interests competing like greedy piglets for the unending surge of taxpayer slop being ladled into the trough. The poison of a history smeared with hateful propaganda and now nearly forgotten. The poison of an electorate that cant even determine its real long-term best interests. The poison of a people who think that they can 'save the planet' by changing their light bulbs. The problem of a nation that has exchanged its 'rendezvous with destiny' for a fat pension and a vacation home at the lake.
There are two political parties in this country. Is one the party of the Mega-State Cancer and the other the party of Fiscal and Social Sanity? No, they are both Mega-State parties with a slight nuance separating them. In the 'Budget Showdown' between Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton in the nineties the big issue was Clinton wanting a Medicare increase of 7.5% and Gingrich holding out for an increase of a mere 7.2% in an economy with a 2% inflation rate and a 4% GDP growth rate. And that was when the two parties were at each other's throats.
But now we see bad policy after bad policy pushed through Congress by Democrats and given bi-partisan approval by coalitions with a few liberal Republicans. When these liberal disasters cause a catastrophe they become Republican catastrophes! No Child Left Behind, anyone? A bill written by the Washington Educrats and the NEA, pushed through the Senate by nearly-Dead Kennedy and hung around the neck of the hapless Bush, who climbed on board in the name of Bi-Partisan Unity and who now is vilified by every educator in the country for this horrible piece of legislation. Just as him and McLame are vilified for 'comprehensive immigration reform' which was written by left-wing radical Reconquista groups and pushed through the Senate by Guess Who! People werent screaming at the Dems for that, they hated BUSH!
Now we have 'The Gang Of Ten' giving the Dems cover on their anti-energy policies as we had the 'Gang Of Fourteen' helping the Dems radicalize the judiciary. Guess who's going to get the blame when people are standing beside their inert autos cursing the lack of gasoline?
And while this stupid game plays itself out the government just continues to bloat, sopping up resources from the private sector like a giant sponge. Local, State, and Federal governments continue to grow three or four times faster than the economy. Government workers are promised pensions that will, through indexing, pay them more than they ever earned when they were pretending to 'work' at their jobs. The Earned Income Tax Credit, Social Security, Food Stamps, Medicare and a raft of other giveaway programs expand exponentially with COLA rises and now are faced with tens of millions of new recipients made eligible by 'comprehensive immigration reform'. And the people clamor for ever more and more 'solutions' to our pressing problems. But we have only one problem right now. We have turned our destiny over to a pack of bureaucrats with a 100% track record of failure. This trend started in the thirties with FDR's ham-handed attempt to 'fix' the economy, whose disastrous state was conveniently blamed on Liberal Republican Herbert Hoover. The trend accelerated in the sixties and seventies as LBJ expanded the Welfare State and Liberal Republicans Nixon and Ford acquiesced. Carter took the train off the rails and brought the country close to the edge and Reagan managed to slow the rate of growth for a while, but not by much. His tax cuts brought in a surge of revenue which actually spurred the expansion of government. An expansion which has continued unabated to the present day throughout the terms of the three feckless liberals who followed Reagan until now it has reached critical mass. A meltdown is certain, the beginnings are happening already.
So now I'm told that however bad McLame is, he's certainly better than Obama; a dangerous radical. I'm not so sure. The numbers tell us that the government is about to outrun its resources, that the parasite is about to kill the host. Do we want the ultimate Schlemiel, the Patsy , the Fall Guy, the Herbert Hoover of the coming hyper-inflationary imploding economy to be a Republican, destroying the party for ever and leaving us in a one-party Socialist Third-world state for ever? Will McLame stand in front of the giant-government juggernaut and command the ocean to recede like some Modern-Day King Canute? Dont bet on it.
Let's think about letting the Dems put their smug platitudes into law and then letting them get 100% of the CREDIT for the results. Lets dream of an America where the desperate citizens of San Francisco run Nancy Pelosi out of town on a rail and install a Fiscal Conservative in her place to go to Washington and make the cuts in expenditures and regulations that everyone will demand. Just as Stalin told the German Communists to lend their votes in the Reichstag to Hitler to further the destruction of bourgeois Capitalism so should we now ponder helping the Dems and their pestiferous fellow parasites to GO TOO FAR and bring themselves to ruin.
The thought of a McLame /Republican brand on the oncoming Argentina-like crisis should make us all at least stop and think. Obama is right; can WE (as conservatives) afford four more years of Republican Liberalism?

Today is...let me see...Tuesday! My last couple of posts have mentioned what a weak, feeble candidate McLame is and how he will be crushed like a bug in November. But now I see that McLame has a powerful ally, one whose every word and deed are loudly praised and trumpeted by a servile media, a man considered a Saint by some, a Messiah by others. I refer, of course, to the one and only Barak Obama, Candidate Extrordinare! What, you say? How can this be? Isnt he the opponent of our confused and overaged liberal Maverick? How has he become the greatest asset of the McLame campaign?
Its very simple. When Obama ran against the detestable and repulsive Clintons he was able to successfully outmaneuver them and even paint our First Black President and Brunhilda, his lovely wife, as the ruthless, lying, phonies that they are. For a while, anyway. Until the Rev Wright stuff came up. By the time the primary campaign groaned to a merciful close a few weeks ago even the nauseating Mrs. Clinton was scoring thirty and forty point victories in key states against the beloved Torchbearer Of Change. The media portrayed this as some kind of heartfelt affinity that the blue-collar types had developed for Her Royal Thighness as she wandered about the country enveloped in an impenetrable phalanx of security and handlers, 'bumping into' people who related incredible sob stories, which on the most cursory investigation by bloggers and other non-elite scum, turned out to be a pack of bald-faced lies.
If it wasnt her glittering personality and a speaking style resembling the voice-over telescreen announcer in the movie '1984' than what was it that enabled this hopeless candidate to score forty point victories over the Obamessiah?
Racism. Not white racism, black racism. The racism that dares not speak its name. The media have never mentioned it because in their left-wing universities and hermetically sealed elite power circles black people are considered to be incapable of having racist thoughts. Its a racial stereotype that is one of the cornerstones of the liberal cathecism. So when The Man Who Brings Hope announces in advance that those crackers in the McLame campaign have their sheets at the drycleaners so they'll be sparkling white for the cross-burning racial smear campaign he KNOWS those Wascally Wepublicans are ginning up against the poor little 'Community Organizer' the media dutifully report it along with some endless soul-searching; "Has America (read, White America) cured itself of its inbred racism?" Or as Obama put it, their fear of people different than themselves.
This is the kind of smug, patronizing, elitist contempt for average people that got Obama his thirty point shellackings at the hands of the annoying and despicable Clinton Crime Family. Unfortunately for The Man Who Can there is literally no one in the Democratic Party or the Mainstream Media (same thing) who will admit this ugly truth to themselves. So when some independent 527 group emerges from the internet/talk radio soup to explode some political land mine at the very vulnerable Marxist feet of The Candidate Of Unity the answer will be as powerful as the media assault on the Swift Boaters, and as ineffective. Nothing makes people more angry than loudmouth black politicians evading scrutiny of their actions by yelling about what victims of racism they are. Nothing. And that's exactly what Obama has announced, in advance!, that he's planning to do.
So, since its Tuesday I retract my Saturday obituary for the moribund and nearly invisible McLame campaign and assert that the Obama-fest currently taking place in the media is so over the top and obnoxious and the candidate's and his party's complete lack of understanding of how regular Americans feel is so flagrant that McLame has the same political strong point that Hillary Clinton had in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia; he's not Obama. And that might be enough to put him over the top.

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.

I listened to The Obamessiah's speech this Tuesday as he 'clinched' the Dem nomination. Amazingly enough this triumph occurred after his loss of two out of the three primaries held that week. So what did our National Savior have to say? The same old stuff. Lots of how bad the Bushies are. Lots of hope and change. Delivered in his stentorian tones which could fire the hopes of a dying hermit. How is he going to perform all these miracles, economic and otherwise? He didnt let us in on the secret. Because there is no secret. The Obamessiah is a product of a university system which is broken and which, in the pursuit of 'academic freedom', has chased out true scholarship and abandoned the pursuit of the truth. Every time The Obamessiah goes off script his total ignorance of just about everything becomes apparent. But he never has to go off script. He's given all the Network anchorites and anchorettes an interview so generic that you could almost imagine that they shot him with a green-screen in the background and just matted him into the shot for each different interviewer. The questions were identical and all about his feelings. Not one single specific question. This 'important' interview was dropped into the half-hour Obamessiah Infomercial on every channel which goes by the name of 'The Evening News'. Black people are shown talking about how The Obamessiah makes them think they can get ahead in this racist country, after all, and applauding the fact that black people have a black person to vote for because he's black and full of hope. Experts are shown solemnly declaring that racist America's racist race problem is still a terrible problem because the racists are going to vote for McLame just because he's white! GRRRRR! There are shots of people standing next to gas pumps saying that prices are too high and we need some Change We Can Believe In. The flickering TV screens show poor people at clinics saying, "Yes We Can!" and Grannies on Social Security appear clutching their AARP cards and yelling for an end to the Bush-McLame famine! The Obamafest on the MSM makes the Cuban State TV network's coverage of Fidel Castro look balanced and hard-hitting.
Its the same old song. And the MSM (mainstream media) are making a huge mistake. Turning this election into a 'Justice Parade' where anyone who objects is tarred as a mean, reactionary segregationist might stifle the public debate but under the surface on the internet and with all the means of instant communication which exist there is a public opinion that evades scrutiny by the smug elitists who are telling themselves that they hold the moral high ground. That public opinion was on board for The Obamessiah at first because everybody likes to be happy and think that things are going to get better. Bush's lack of leadership has left people hungry for some kind of collective meaning in their lives; who are we? where are we going? But the Reverend Wright stuff brought them up short. We're not God Damned AmeriKKKa, we didnt invent AIDS to murder black people, and we're not involved in a conspiracy to keep black people from succeeding. We didnt wreck the black family and spend a generation telling poor blacks that they didnt have a chance in this racist country, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and all the other Ivy-league educated liberal geniuses did that while us benighted slobs were clinging to our guns and religion in our dark double-wide trailers out in the suburbs and the sticks trying to connive expensive tax cuts hacked from the hopes and futures of the deserving poor. People dont like that scenario; The Obamessiah's losses in most of the post-Wright primaries prove it. That was among Democrats, what must independents and Republicans be thinking?
Fortunately John McLame is such a hopelessly inept speaker and campaigner that the Great Unwashed Herd thinks he's a conservative. They made the same mistake with Bush. This error of perception is reinforced by the Democrats who hurl the C-word at Bush and McLame without let-up. The liberal McLame positions that make any Real Conservative scream at his TV just as he would with a Clinton, a Schumer or an Obama are lost in the garbled delivery. Thats the genius of McLame's strategy. With a scary radical like The Obamessiah, sure to be unmasked by some band of free-lance Swift-Boaters just like the Foon-Faced Shmoo who 'reported for duty' in 2004, appearing to be a 'foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution' isnt such a bad thing. A totally dishonest thing but who's counting?
As the Justice Parade marches toward the election dont believe the polls. People will recite the politically correct line to the pollsters but in the voting booth it will be a different story. McLame can win big by doing nothing.
