The Poisonous Campaign of Barack Obama [A Liberal Sees the Light]

If I ever reflect on how it is that I went from being a huge fan of Obama's, to a person who was excited about him and waiting to hear his plans, to wondering why I was not hearing anything tangible, to coming to terms with that fact he had no intention of clarifying anything, to coming to understand that he was a shallow pretender, to loathing everything his campaign represents - I will look no further than this email I received today from an Obamite:

"let me guess with all respect,
-- you are below college education. thats for sure. right?
-- you have a working class background. thats also for sure. right?
-- you are not interested in politics. thats possible. right?
-- you prefer to eat cheese stakes at geno's. thats also possible. right?
-- your are just a bad bad-boy who likes to play mind games. maybe. right?
have a nice day"


I loath these people. I will vote for McCain or no one if Obama gets the nomination. Not because every one of these assumptions is wrong about me. I have a BFA, come from a middle class background, am obsessed with politics, and am a bad boy but not a "bad bad" boy. (A cheese "stake" would be a bizarre and pointless item so I have no use for it, but I do like a cheese steak every now and again). I will vote for McCain or not at all because of the dripping, oozing condescension that Obamites have for those without college degrees. Because of the high end, fraudulent contempt Obamites have for the working class. Because I do not want to sit through another 4 years of an administration populated by those who think "cheese steak" consumers are less than equal partners in a democracy. I don't give a flying crap where the prigs land on the Left/Right scale.

By lying overtly and covertly about who he is Obama has poisoned this campaign and this country. He has used his considerable talents as an orator to fool the chattering classes and the media. He has used skillful oratory to blur his questionable past, rewrite our recent history, and open another gash in the wound of race in America. He has taken the difficult issue of race and turned it into a Benetton commercial and wonders why Pennsylvania isn't buying it. He breathlessly compares his grandmother to the putrid Wright and wonders why his grand "speech" didn't take. He has taken the low road, while claiming the high one. He has lied about his intentions for the wars if elected. He has lied about his association with his church: Our Lady of Perpetual Resentment. He has plagiarized speeches, lied about both Clintons, lied about NAFTA, and run a dishonest, ruthless campaign. He has willfully associated with bigots, slumlords and terrorists to further his career. (Yes, William Ayres is a terrorist.) He has turned the idea of meritocracy on its head by elevating vagueness and self promotion to messianic heights. He has accomplished nothing of note in his public life and insults those who have. Finally, the clip below of the staged "woman fainting" at his revival meetings is seemingly minor but goes to the heart of the Obama ideology: Illusion over reality.

He is a fraud.

I loath his campaign for good reason.

Voters in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, and North Carolina can drive a stake (cheese?) into the heart of the Obama campaign - or Republicans, Independents, and 25-40% of the Democrats can in November.

Let me tell you: if Michigan and Florida had not been thrown overboard by Howard Dean and Donna Brazile - Obama would not matter. "God Damn, America!" is not going away. It is testimony to the willing irresponsibility of the media that Wright's bile was not shown to the nation earlier. If Wright had been known to us in January, Obama would be a footnote now. It was out there to be seen. It is only compliant, brain-dead, synchophants in the MSM that kept those tapes off the air for so long. With two candidates that cannot get a majority of the delegates we have a real monster on our hands.

Obama has never been qualified for the Presidency. But staying in a church in which your pastor screams GOD DAMN AMERICA! from the pulpit disqualifies him forever. He is responsible for his actions. His action in this case was to make excuses. All the ass kissing by all the kings men - and women - (Olbermann, Dowd, Rich, and the rest) can't put Obama back together again. Independents are falling away like Greenland glaciers. Republicans will be energized. And half the Democratic party will be angry.

Finally, when all is said and done - it is his lunatic supporters I fear most. We have gotten a small taste of that happy mob turning ugly this week. Imagine what they'd do with a President Obama (lol) stranded between his own rhetoric and reality

Obama is a racially confused, Hugo Chavez wannabe, hard Left stealth candidate who can’t fool all of the people all of the time. I suppose the question is “Can he fool 20% of the people?” because there is , sadly enough, about 30% that he doesn’t have to fool, for they know the true Obama and are right there with him.

I was thinking about this the other day, who would do the most damage to our country.

The services of Obama's pastor or Monica Lewinsky?

Both use their mouths.....

A grade school teacher asked her class how many of them are "Hillary fans?"
Not really knowing what a Hillary fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except one boy.
The teacher asked Johnny why he has decided to be different. Johnny says, "I'm not a Hillary fan."
The teacher says, "Why aren't you a Hillary fan?"
Johnny says, "I'm a George Bush fan."
The teacher asks why are you a George Bush fan?
The boy says, "Well, my mom's a George Bush fan and my dad's a George Bush fan, so I'm a George Bush fan!"
The teacher asks, "If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"
Johnny replies, "That would make me a Hillary fan."

I don't like any of the three leading candidates, they're all democrat liberals.

I will keep holding out hope that Newt decides to run.

Your pal,
Meat.

Meat,

Why don't you run for the next president? I sure that would give us many pages of fun and maybe even a legitimate complaint or two. But even if you came from Jupiter, had six eyes and legs and acted strange, (stranger), I don't think you could be any worse than what we have to chose from any more. Or better yet run for Governor of our Republik.

And that's why you are named Meat! Newt's not running, so take your pick of those that are running.

Newt, Ron Paul, Huckabee, Romney all gone (at least as #1 on the ticket). Now as usual it's time to strap on the waders, hold your nose, dive in the steaming pile and find the best of the rest. Most of all..FIND ONE and VOTE or live with the consequences. Here in Texas it is actually quite entertaining to watch the dems go thru the cluster they call a 'caucus'. They STILL can't decide who WON; despite all of the votes being in?!?!?!? This process could drag on for weeks.

[AMF]

Let me be the first to admit that I voted for George W. Bush (x2) and I must say, that he's a very POOR President, quite possibly one of the worst. He's a terrible manager, I have no idea on Earth how he ever graduated from Yale (I'd be embarrassed to have a degree from Yale these days).

But let me also say....God help us if John Kerry had been elected or Al Gore. I don't even want to think about it.

The same is true for the election upcoming. I can honestly say that John McCain isn't my first choice. But who in their right mind would vote for Hillary Clinton? Barrack Obama?

The old saying goes...."If you're 20 and you're a conservative....you have no heart. If you're 40 and you're a liberal...you have no brain."

The reason the Democrats will lose the next election is the same reason they lost the last two elections. Not only do they not get it, there's not one among them who's even halfway genuine.

The American public will always side with the lesser of the "known" evils. Hillary will tell you anything you want to hear, if it means getting your vote. The public knows this. It was the same for John Kerry and Al Gore. None of them can be trusted in any sense of the word. That's why the term "flip-flop" and Democrat have become synonomous. When you vote for the war (ala Hillary Clinton and John Kerry) and then you turn around to be one of it's biggest opponents...what does that say about you?

After the last election...the DNC got together to do an after action review (smart). They came to the brilliant conclusion that the reason they lost the election is that people really didn't receive their message (retarded). They cannot conceive of the notion that people received the message fine, and simply chose to vote otherwise. That's why they'll lose the election again.

Why is it that every election, it always seems the liberal is ahead and doing well, only to find out that it doesn't turn out that way? The liberal media is so in love with themselves, that they almost create the loss themselves (lazy, liberal, freeloading types are not prone to getting off their fat asses and voting to begin with, especially if it looks as though their candidate is going to win). When the news reports that the conservative candidate is going to lose, it motivates those types of people.

Two other noteworthy points that no one usually brings up.

1) Bill Clinton won both elections to the thanks of one man.....Ross Perot. Perot did the ole' "divide the vote" routine which cost Republicans the re-election of Bush Sr. and Bob Dole.

2) If Ralph Nader runs (which most think he will)...who's votes do you think he'll detract? The Democrats or the Republicans?

Actually, you are dead wrong on this point. Yes, W isn't perfect and I was not with him on several issues, including immigration - but, the worst President? I'd list Carter in that spot. W was right on the war, right on the court, right on tax cuts and right on a lot of things. Now, the war was won but the tribes are restless - tribes are that way, you know - restless and stupid.

Come to think of it, the democrats are sort of like a tribe.

It's simply that simple. So many people wanted another candidate, even candidates that were not ever candidates. Some want perfect - that person also decided not to run. Get over it - vote for your view of the best as the two candidates that can win will be very, very different on issues and character.

I'm not running for governor for at least two more election cycles.

Maybe President after that.

Didn't any of you guys see the movie Porky's? Meat was in it. Though I am sure that was a different one.

Liberal?? Must have been a miraculous conversion since 2006. But stranger things have happened.

Not strange!!, just another good day in America........

[Bill Bess]

George Bush (our current president) is not many things. He is for sure not a great speaker, he is not a womenizer, he does not lie, he does not cheat and he doesn't cater to the press, the list goes on.
He is though, very honest, conservative, has old family and American values, and loves his god. He did respond to 9-11. The list could go on forever noting positives regarding George's attributes.
In addition, he is nowhere close to Jimmiy Carter our worst president and biggest loser.

I totally agree with the sentiments of this post. Obama is a racist and has that "thing", that is the "thing" that enables many black folks to protect their own no matter how wrong they might be. This is really a sad and dishonest position for a person to take, especially when he is running for president.

Now Hillary is just a wanabe and has no measueable talent or plan to help the country stay strong. I do think she is actually a female or aleast appears to be one......only Bill knows.

I hope McCains wins, keeps cutting taxes, fixes the banking systems and helps develop plans to get these entitled liberals off the dope smoking butts, and bombs the hell out of the bad guys.

Old Bill

Below is a DIRECT quote from Obama:

At issue are comments Obama made privately at a fundraiser in San Francisco last Sunday. He explained his troubles winning over working class voters, saying they have become frustrated with economic conditions:

"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
