Don\’t get me wrong, yeah I think you\’re alright
But that won\’t keep me warm in the middle of the night…

Obama’s constituency is made in three parts. Part I is obviously the racebaiting part where he plans to command 90 plus percent of the black vote. Part II is the “hope & change” subscribers. You know who I mean, the barely literate masses who are voting because Obama makes them ”feel” good. These people know nothing of the issues. Of course, Obama has cleverly avoided alerting them to where he stands as that could be dangerous. The third and final Part of Obama’s constituency is what I refer to the “stealth ultra lefties”. These are the idiots that contribute to the Huffington Post and the Daily Kos and fawn over super socialists like Ned Lamont and his ilk. They realize that they have had to lay low because there overzealous enthusiasm for Obama might send the middle group of “hope and change” hippies over the top if they catch on to what Obama is all about.

Now that he has chosen Biden, the stealth lefties will certainly rejoice as he is one of their most esteemed leaders. This is going to put a nice crack in the facade that is Obama’s image and the seething beast of leftwing whackoness will be revealed. The “hope and change” Morlocks will begin to question the certainty of Barack’s messianic nature and the plume of smoke from the carnage will be seen for many miles. They will ask why Mr. Hope & Change would nominate as his VP some old white guy who is the worst kind of Washington Insider who is the embodiment of “politics as usual”. Just seeing the two of them on the campaign trail will show them the insignificance of Obama. They will wonder why the “magic of Obama” needs an ultra-leftist has been who only got 9,000 votes in the primaries to strengthen the ticket in the areas of experience and foreign policy. They will begin to think and lord help them when they do. They will need strength to accept their own foolishness and to back away from the evil puss of liberalism seeping through the cracked image of Obama’s candidacy and then they will begin to eat their masters.

To give maximum advantage to the GOP. Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate, a pick designed to shore up the Illinois senator’s foreign policy credentials in advance of the November election against……

The 800 billion and counting… we’ve flushed down the toilet in Iraq could have done wonders for the decaying infrastructure, health care system and education in this country.

Just imagine the tens of thousands of good paying jobs that would have been created in replacing and restoring the decaying bridges and roads, alone.

Yah think… Chuck?

We’re $57 trillion in the hole on SS and Medicare- the last 2 bright ideas your party had when they had control of Congress and the White House.

This number grew $2.5 trillion from the year before.

At that pace, if the entire 200+ year old public debt were paid off, the entitlement debt would replace it in just over 2 years.

So if Im going to hear a lesson about incompetence with taxpayer money, it’s not going to be from you people.

You started off O.K. with McCain’s pathetically weak stance on illegal immigration/borders, then you lost me with your whining about his stance regarding fighting and winning the war on terror. McCain has been right on target with his positions on Iraq; this is his strong suit.

Just imagine the tens of thousands of good paying jobs that would have been created in replacing and restoring the decaying bridges and roads, alone.

OK Moron – the $800 Billion paid our soldiers and funded the wages of all the tens of thousands of employees working for our amazing USA aerospace and defense contractors and all their thousands of suppliers. Pretty good investment if you ask me. Hundreds of thousands of well-paying US jobs, tens of thousands of dead islamic terrorists, and 7 years of NO DOMESTIC TERROR ATTACKS. Pretty freakin awesome if you ask me.

Did anyone ever think that maybe all the decent choices turned Obama down?

Ann NY on August 23, 2008 at 12:08 PM

Ummm…. decent choices…. democrat…. ummmm….. uhhhh….. damn, I am really drawing a blank here….

We have to vote McCain, and make sure our people turn out for the local elections. That’s our only hope.

What a depressing course of action. In case you’ve missed it, we tried this same course of action in 2000 and 2004. It was tried with Nixon and Ford as well. I’m tired of appeasing, tired of trying to keep what we’ve got rather than trying to win. I’m merely encouraging folks to vote their conscience, to vote for principle not expedience. I’m bound to no party. If the Republicans seek not to represent me or my beliefs, then they can seek life elsewhere.

Biden was chosen to give opponents an easy target to beat up thereby drawing fire away from Obama

I actually thought that when I looked at the Hot Air front page today. Five Biden gaffes for every one of Obama’s.

Cheap at half the price; of what this despicable, deplorable, useless, illegal, war in Iraq, is costing us now!

J_Gocht on August 23, 2008 at 2:16 PM

Iraq, by your numbers, cost us $800 billion over the 5 years since the war started. That’s about $160 billion/year. Obama’s asking for $250-300 billion…maybe you want to check your math.

Considering McCain’s illegal immigration/border security stance, not to mention his strategies for winning the war on terror and his empty rhetoric for supporting the fighting nation of Georgia against the Russians, I see your description of a “paper tiger” is a very apt one.

Now, if McCain were smart, he would pick Sarah Palin.

Then, it would be his election to lose.

Conservative_SAHM on August 23, 2008 at 12:09 PM

Now,if McCain were smart, he would pick Sarah Palin.

Then, shut up and let her do the talkin.

So, audacity and…

There is no replacement for the safety & security of our nation & it’s people. A nation that consists of leaders who have not the courage to use it’s military, is a nation that will eventually fail as so many others have throughout the history of mankind.

This is the number (1) weakness of Liberals & Democrats; the utter refusal to do what ever is necessary to protect the American homeland and it’s people. I don’t like war, as it brings death to our sons and daughters. However, I do recognize the existence of evil on this planet. Evil must be faced down and killed every time it shows it’s ugly face.

It’s easy to say the 800 billion has been flushed down the toilet on Iraq. It is also a reality that 3000K plus people died on September 11th, as a result of a planned attack on the American homeland and it’s people.

A paper tiger we can not remain!

Crazy As A LoonDelaware Senator Joe Biden

So Iraq war is bankrupting us, but twice the amount of new spending thrown onto the deficit is “cheap”.

Did that nurse ever arrive, J?
