Now Obama. Obama is becoming the next inevitable. Not in quite the same way, but it is still just as much a mirage
He is being pumped up by the media as this messiah because of his so called great speeches. Makes people cry and the girls swoon. Well, his speeches really aren’t that great. And at some point, they will have to stop.This is where is biggest weakness is.
That is, in actually doing something.
Obama can make the girls cry talking about hope and change. Specifics and details are his biggest enemies. Actual policies that people can see, taste and touch like screwing with their pensions, opening our borders, raising their taxes, spreading abortion, pushing the homosexual agenda will only make the libs swoon.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Does anyone in any of these campaigns have any understanding of basic economics? They all seem to believe that money will just magically appear — in enormous quantities — to fund whatever liberal feel-good or buy-the-vote project they can dream up. This is really getting scary.

I’d rather just be put to sleep(I have problems sleeping anyhow), you could be injured, if fainting like that standing up.. then then have other hyped-up crazy fans trampling on you while all passed out..

Just saying, someone needs to look out for them.

I went to a McCain rally and got all woozy.

Not to worry, that was only the metamucil vapor in the air. Just don’t go again.

Probably when they realized that Obama might get elected and that they might be out in the cold if they didn’t fall in line and genuflect early enough.

Yea. But when was that? He and Hillary have been frontrunners since the beginning, but only in the last two weeks has it looked like he’s going to pull it out.

I just find his whole “aura” amazing. He was a nobody in 2003 and was about to get trounced in the Illinois Senate race when Sen. Ryan’s licentious lifestyle was exposed enough to force him to withdraw from the race.

Then Obama’s 2004 convention speech sent everyone a-twitter. “Oooh…he’s grrreat!” They said.

Now, he’s surging past Hillary without ever going negative on her (or Bill). As much as people say that they hate negative campaigning, it works.

This newbie who has never accomplished anything is not only capturing the hearts of a too easily swayed public, but the entrenched powerbrokers of Washington.

It’s weird and unsettling.

Michelle Obama’s speech only adds to the weirdness. She sounds exactly like a Lenin or Hitler. “Rise up, rise up people, and take your destiny into your own hands!! (But listen to me and do exactly as I say).

I don’t like this guy. I’d take a Hillary before him. You know what you’re getting with Hillary. Don’t have a clue what to expect with Obama. My feeling is that it’d be baaad stuff.

Just sayin’

Interesting.

History shows they are wrong. To win the next election and to win in the long term, we need to redefine the political center.

No, screw that. Scary as hell.

Time to start inoculating the American electorate. This is quickly becoming more than a presidential election. This really is about the political soul of America, the last bastion of liberty in the world. An America that flirts with and commits to a socialist agenda is an America that has accepted its own self-imposed terminal illness.

We need to start buying adds that do nothing more than teach basic economics and the purpose of free markets and the free exchange of ideas. I still don’t think McCain can win, and any campaign on his part that focuses on McCain alone will both fail and take conservatism down with it, but a campaign that is focused on the realities of socialist/Marxist policy will buy us time to mobilize a working legislative resistance.

I think some more on Barack and the Obamamaniacs would be very healthy around here. I’m not talking to the head cases whose seething hatred is so extreme that they’d rather see almost anything than a McCain victory, or who’ve convinced themselves (against historical evidence) that a post-2008 calamity is sure, or even just more likely than not, to revive Republican chances.

I think a little more consciousness of the downside risks might make righties, or really any patriots, currently on the fence a little more hesitant about spreading defeatism and disunity – because this is seriously weird stuff. Obama is either an empty suit driven insane by hubris and success or a far left pied piper. Either way, we cannot afford to give the most powerful office in the world to him. Forcing McCain to secure the border and convincing him that Shamnesty would destroy his presidency would be child’s play compared to dealing with an Obama presidency.

I’d love to see Hillary come back, somehow – and not because I think she’s a weaker candidate. I actually think the odds are that Obama would be easier to beat – that his phenomenon is more subject to rapid deflation, and that who and what he is (and isn’t) would be easier to expose. But I don’t want to take the chance. If he beats Hillary, then it’s in the lap of the gods, and anything could still happen.

I’m hoping that the bursting of the Obama bubble has already begun. I see signs of it, but because I want to see signs of it, I don’t trust my judgment.

Barack will require you to work… Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.

Will he ride a horse through the fields and carry a whip, too? (How about ride in a bulletproof limo and carry the power of the IRS?)

Can someone please tell me exactly when Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton started supporting Barak Obama?

Probably when they realized that Obama might get elected and that they might be out in the cold if they didn’t fall in line and genuflect early enough.

Barack will require you to work… Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

Socialism is barack.

“The only person in this race that can heal the nation.”

“Government had forgotten them long ago.”

“What are we ready for? Wait wait wait.. we say we’re ready for change. But see, change is hard. Change will always be hard. But it doesn’t happen from the top down. We get change because folks from the grass roots get sick and tire of other folks telling them how their lives will be, and they decide to roll up their sleeves and work… Barack will require you to work… Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

Workers of the world unite.

Second look at supporting McCain.

All those cretins thinking of voting for Hussein, we will know who to blame when 900 billion dollars poorer.
