For anyone who is missing it, McCain is putting on a clinic, demonstrating how you make your adversary eat himself.

McCain is firmly inside Obama's "OODA loop" (decision-making process). He quickly and correctly identified Obama's greatest weakness - his ego. Now McCain is simply putting Obama into untenable positions for someone who suffers from excessive ego. McCain can now out-maneuver Obama at will from now until Obama gets tired.

Obama cannot stand to be "one-upped". However, because he is afraid to take a stand on his own, he faces constant one-upmanship since he must always wait to see what his opponent is doing so that he knows what to criticize. In the meantime, his opponent has the run of the field.

McCain orchestrated a simple platform for himself to demonstrate his leadership to all Americans, to SHOW the American people what he'll do, instead of just TALKING about it. In the process, Obama, slave to his ego, cannot let McCain appear either to be correct or to be a leader. Therefore, the only option available to him is to cling to anything that conceivably might be twisted to diminish McCain in any way. Simply petty.

Now, McCain is in the enviable position of being able to COMPLETELY IGNORE OBAMA and simply report on what he and his BI-PARTISAN TEAM are accomplishing. No matter what Obama says, the only correct thing to say is that he'll join in and do his part *FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY*, and the correct time to say it has already passed. No matter what ELSE he says, it is irrelevant and can be ignored. The longer Obama takes to own up to it, the less presidential (and the more petty) he looks.

When Obama finally realizes he's been checkmated once again by McCain's brilliant responses to world events and comes to sit at McCain's BI-PARTISAN table, McCain has the opportunity to appear magnanimous in victory. Presidential, even.

Strategic mastermind at work, here, folks. Everyone in attendance - take notes! McCain is the real deal.

*THIS* is the guy you want sitting across the table from Putin. And from Ahmadinejad. And from Kim Jung-Il. And so on. Faced with a strongly principled and very determined McCain to contend with, you can almost feel sorry for the homicidal, egomaniacal tyrants. Almost.....

And the media are helpless to prevent Obama's self-immolation on the world stage. I think this is the best part of all. The Democratic political machine plus the mainstream media KING-MAKERS are helpless in the face of Obama's gross incompetence.

Please excuse my very un-Christian delight in their severe discomfort at this point. They can feel it slipping away. This election was in-the-bag just a few months ago! Absolute power was in their grasp. Obama only needed to coast over the finish line.

Why, oh *WHY* did anyone let him open his mouth?  And where's Hilary and Bill? Maybe, if we click our heels together three times and chant, we'll wake up to discover this has all been just a bad dream.....

One, two, three...........................OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Remember "The Whiners" from the old SNL? That's Obama! 

"ENOUGH, ALREADY!"  Wah-Wah-Wah!!!

ROTFLMAO!

I keep saying to myself, "Just wait a moment - Obama or Biden will stick one of their feet in one of their mouths."

Then Bingo! just like clockwork. This is becoming eerie....

I almost came out of my slumber when I heard Obama cry racism against Hilary supporters, as though costing him the election reflected on nothing else. Slammming your own supporters is incredibly stupid. Calling them racists if they don't unite behind you is even more stupid. How low can Obama go?

Luckily for me, other conservatives picked that up and gave it the attention (i.e. thrashing) it deserves, saving me the time I need for my beauty sleep.

Today, however, I almost fell out of my chair when after today's news conferences where the candidates demonstrated what they are made of in response to a crisis.

John McCain demonstrated exactly what he would do as president - in his own, forceful words he explained that he would marshal all his resources, exert his influence, meet with experts, debate with his colleagues and lead the way to a bi-partisan consensus. John McCain is, once again, showing by doing. "This is what you can count on me to do when I'm President - I'll do my JOB!" (Hint: McCain and Obama are sitting US Senators, you know - they have a certain amount of power already.)

Contrast this method of operation with candidate Obama, who insisted on focusing on the debates this Friday wherein he would TALK ABOUT what he WOULD do someday in the future to move this economy forward. The contrast is clear - Obama WON'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, but he's always happy to talk about the future where he might accomplish something. Someday. But not today. He can't even demonstrate any commitment to bi-partisanship. Today Obama demonstrated his lack of familiarity with the concept of bi-partisan cooperation by pointing fingers at everyone on the other side of his teleprompter.

He's going to change.....what, exactly? 

And before you idiots carrying Obama's water even get started with that racism crap again - I'm black, and I can say anything I damn well please about any other black man. It's like I have a politically-incorrect Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card! Get over it, already.

Obama may have great potential, but that's all he has. Obama hasn't done anything yet and, as of today's press conference, he is not in any great hurry to do anything now either. Maybe someday, though.

I wonder, what did Obama say he would do when he reached the Senate? He has not delivered anything. He has not even been "present", but I digress.

John McCain takes action NOW and takes the lead NOW. Obama talks about … talking some more. Obama will always be willing to *talk* about doing something, but he does not have the intestinal fortitude to actually *DO* something, to take bold action or to simply be decisive. Taking action of ANY sort, whether it is right or not, is risky, and Obama cannot handle any level of risk. Far better to sit on the sidelines while the leaders take the risks, and then criticize them along the way to show how "engaged" you are.

What a tremendous coward, trying to run with the heroes. Like most liberal pretenders to any throne of power, but definitely raised to the nth degree here. And when the heroes charge the enemy's position, where are the cowards? Exactly - they stay behind where it's safer.

Anything except doing. Anything but action. Yay, Obama.

Once again, McCain demonstrates leadership, which is exactly what is called for. He demonstrates his resolve to pursue a bi-partisan approach to help the country first, never mind the cost to him, and once the media figure out how to spin this for Obama it will surely cost McCain dearly.

Now, it generally takes Obama 2-3 days to follow McCain's lead (as most recently demonstrated in the Russian/Georgian crisis), but after his advisors and handlers study the situation and conclude that he must follow the leader, he will come out with his own spin on the leader's plans, but he will essentially agree with the leader. He'll find a way to criticize the leader, but he will follow. Because he is a follower.
Face it, liberals -a leader would have taken McCain's challenge and joined the competition and tried to best him at it. Obama turned tail and ran for the tall grass.

That's your guy. You could have had Hilary…but I digress.

Obama is a great follower. He does not have any leadership qualities whatsoever. Obama can position himself to line up with people's expectations, but that's not leadership - that's follower-ship again.  Follower's instinct is all he has. Obama does not have the strength of ANY conviction to stand out from the pack and take the arrows that a true leader must take. Obama is arrow-averse - this is why the media has shielded him from any and all arrows for this long. One arrow and Obama will fold into a stuttering puddle of confusion and indecision. Meanwhile, the country waits for the leader to step up.

Leaders take chances to protect and defend and support WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. Obama believes in nothing. He simply cannot lead. Not anyone, not anywhere. Not under any circumstances, however small and insignificant and safe.

There is one leader in the race for the Presidency, and that leader is clearly John McCain.

Thank you, Lord, for John McCain at this time in our nation's hour of need.

Bitterly accepting the fact that the most concerted, most negative media-led onslaught in American history has failed to tarnish Sarah Palin in any way, Obama and the Democrats trot out their only remaining deceit - the race card.

As far as us black conservatives are concerned, the race card as the last refuge of the incompetent. We think it's a good definition for everyone, really.

Pitiful in their disgrace, the hapless left-wing soldiers in Obama's army have been stymied at every turn, unable to dig up or manufacture any real dirt against her. When Obama's political machine claimed Sarah Palin was a rube, the American people were supposed to believe it - but they didn't. When they claimed she was a crook, the American people were supposed to believe it - but they didn't. When they claimed that her's was a dysfunctional family, the American people were supposed to believe it - but they didn't. When they claimed she had no executive experience, the American people were supposed to believe it - but they didn't.

One by one the specious claims by the left have been exposed as simply their own wishful "thinking out loud", and now they are left with no recourse. Their ticket has no intrinsic value. Obama-Biden can only claim to *NOT* be McCain-Palin, and that discrepancy is already painfully obvious to everyone anyway.

This political race is becoming a no-brainer. There is one presidential ticket (serious and credible) and then there is the slapstick-comedy ticket of Obama-Biden that has no credibility at all.

No qualifications. No credibility. No seriousness. So, back to the race card.

And remember: The race card is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Obama is going to great lengths (even suing certain investigators) to prevent us from learning about his past activities. Clearly, he has something to hide from the American people.

For now, let's focus on what we already know about Obama's past. Here's one thing we know for certain: the race card has ***never*** failed Obama before.

It is the driving force that led him to his current position. Every position Obama has ever held has been due to his insinuation that DENYING him that position was tantamount to racism - qualifications be damned.

Racism is Obama's ***ONLY*** qualification for the Presidency. His judgment is poor, his grasp of America's position in the world is shaky at best, his allegiances are to every country in the world *except* America, his accomplishments are few, his friends even fewer, his sense of who he is is still "under development", his ideology is pure Socialism and he clearly believes that the Presidency is somehow owed to him, like politics is some great Affirmative Action program.

Well, clearly this is the case in the Democrat party, but not for the Presidency.

This joke, this total sham of an election needs to be played out, but let it be clear what choices are before us now.

On the one hand, we have a party espousing their belief in capitalism (let the markets correct themselves). On the other hand we have the party espousing socialism (let the government exert control over the markets, ostensibly to protect you).

On the one hand, we have a ticket that is serious and sober, dedicated and unflinching in their determination to see to it that America's interests are ALWAYS placed first, that American priorities are always placed highest on the decision-making tree. On the other hand, we have the "citizens of the world" who think America should automatically take a back seat to every other nation because it isn't fair that America is so blessed and so powerful and so influential.

On the one hand, we have the party who exercises good judgment in the face of truly frightening and dangerous world powers and does blink or flinch when confronted with evil. On the other hand, we have the party that shrinks away from confrontation with every bully on the world stage, who will criticize their opponents judgment as belligerent and dangerous, and then modify their own position to match it - because it is the right position, the only position America **CAN** hold after all.

If not America, then no one. No one can and no one will fill our shoes if we decide to "leave" the world stage or not to lead on the world stage. We have the better ideas here - other nations are all slowly coming around to our way of thinking. IMITATING THEM IS PUREST FOLLY.

It's time for America to live up to her greatest potential right now and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin to the highest offices in the land.

At this time of greatest peril, it's time to grow up. We are not innocent. We are not blameless. We are leaders, and leaders do their best and leaders take the arrows. We are America.

Get over it.

Again, the race card is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Unless we give up on America, we have plenty of time to wait for the black man or woman who deserves, who ***EARNS*** the Presidency. Of course, this probably means we're waiting for a black conservative - is the mainstream media ready for that? Probably not, so we'll all have to tune into talk radio since the revolution will NOT be televised.

It's Backfiring.

Every pointless, malicious, cynical MSM attack on Sarah Palin or her family or her cchurch or her friends or her political allies or her shotgun named Bessie is not only thwarted by the fact that what passes for news items can't seem to gain any traction EVEN IN THE MSM, the McCain campaign's utter disregard for the "stories" forces them to stand in stark relief on their own, and own their own, they look and sound totally petty and downright ridiculous.

Joe six-pack is probably owndering something like "Hmmmm. We now know, among other thing, what Sarah Palin's 2nd cousin twice removed had for dinner every night last week, and we still don't know ANYTHING about Obama. Something is out of kilter here - I can't put my finger on it, but something is just a little bit.....off."

Moreover, Obama gets the credit. Then his numbers sink. Then he panics. Then he says something stupid. Then his numbers sink....

"McCain is a commie-pinko stooge!"

"McCain hates old people!"

Obama's campaign staff is in disarray. The marketing arm (the MSM) is completely confounded. Thetried-and-true Chicago-style tactics aren't having the desired effect. They can't pay anyone in Alaska enough money to sacrifice their personal integrity and go on the record with any made-up stories about how Sarah Palin talks to dead people or whatever. WE'RE TALKING 6 FIGURES HERE!!! An army of slick operatives, ready to twist any word into a trumped up charge, with deep pockets and no shame or conscience - normally this is a recipe for democrat success. However, in Alaska, it just falls flat! It's like Bizarro-world or something....

So what else can they do? They know that as soon as Obama or Biden open their mouths, stupidity will fall out and then they will be worse off than when they started. Something has to be done. And QUICKLY.

But what?

Here's some free advice on what the Obama campaign needs to do to pull off victory at this point. The advice is only free for a limited time tonight. Afterwards it'll only cost you 5 easy payments of $19.95, so hurry now before the clock runs out!
 
1.) Gag Obama.

2.) Gag Biden
(Not necessarily in this order)

3.) Pay somebody (a professional, hopefully) to step forward and claim to be Obama's best friend in the whole world, and give some personal testimony to what a great thinker and problem solver Obama is and produce a manuscript of his greatest intellectual contributions to our understanding of nature and physics and philosophy. In short, show that Obama has contributed SOMETHING WORTHWHILE to this world, besides his cheap, empty rhetoric. I think Matt Damon should be cast in this part.

4.) Have Biden resign from the ticket, with Hilary ready to answer the call from Obama at 3am to give him what he needs.

5.) Have Obama write out a check for whatever is Hilary's asking price to star in her own infomercial all alone. Have her talk to the women of America and tell them how she was born "a poor black child" and so never had the chance to learn how to stay at home and bake cookies, but if the women of America get behind her and put her in the White House with Obama, by golly she'll LEARN TO BAKE THE BEST DAMNED COOKIES EVER BAKED!

6.) Drop a Drop a small, thermonuclear device on Palin's head and let's see what effect that has on her god-awful perky, cheerful demeanor!

7.) Have Charlie Gibson interview them both, then wait until he asks Obama/Hilary what they'll be having for dinner that evening (and will they have room for one more). Then have Hilary cry about how tough it is to run a campaign. Then have Obama scream, "Racism is alive and well and living in America! No justice, NO PEACE!" Then have Gibson say, "Right on, man! I'm down with the struggle, ya-no-I-mean?"

I GUARANTEE that, at this point, their campaign will turn around, or your money back!

Of course, the alternative is for them to just keep doing what they're doing - I don't recommend that.   :-)

Ladies and gentlemen,

For those that missed the first salvos, the culture war is under way. At stake is the future of these United States.

On the one side is the behemoth liberal establishment in academia, politics and the mainstream media, represented by their champion, Barrack Obama.

On the other side is the conservative establishment in business, politics and new media, represented by their champion, Sarah Palin.

What vision of the future will prevail?

This treatise is really about the enduring legacy of the Proverbs 31 woman. For those of you who are not intimately familiar with the passages, please do yourself a favor and (borrow a Bible if you have to but) look it up!

My wife just laid this idea on me and it certainly touches a nerve. For all the screaming and hollering and hair-pulling and clothes-rending and gnashing of teeth and so on, what remains is a beautiful testament to a Godly woman in a loving marriage relationship with a Godly man.

The Palins represent everything Liberals are trying to tear down for the last 50 years. Yet there she is, hale and hearty and good-natured, with not a trace of bitterness in her body, barely even aware of the consternation all around her.

The Palins are a testament to God-ordained marriage.

They are a testament to Christian family values.

They are a testament to conservative ideals.

They are a testament to middle class, blue-collar values of hard work, determination, perseverance and grit.

They are a testament to the Liberal lie that America's best days are behind her.

They are a testament to the promise of America's nova-bright future.

They are a testament to what is possible if you live your life without paying any attention to Liberal ideology.

They are a testament to the Christian principle of putting the needs of others ahead of your own.

Sarah is a shining beacon of light and hope.

Sarah should not exist. Liberals have gone to great lengths to make sure she does not exist. Yet here she is - obviously existing and prospering on her own merits.

Liberals have to destroy her, or face up to the lie that is the very heart of their existence.

There are some truths that are simply too painful to bear. Like the truth of your own mortality. And the truth of a failed and failing Socialist ideology.

If Sarah goes on existing, if she does not wane or fade, then the Liberal Elites will, eventually, have to grow up. And that's just not gonna happen without a major fight.

Liberals are at least going down swinging, like the bad guys in the old westerns.

 

We know (because it is an insult to our intelligence to suggest otherwise) that Obama knew his "lipstick" comment was a slight aimed at Governor Sarah Palin. If Obama did not know, then he certainly should have known, and he'll be hard-pressed to explain how he, alone, in all of America, did not know.

If Obama did not know how his "lipstick" comment would be received by his audience and by the rest of the country, then I submit to you that such incredible ignorance and naiveté singularly disqualifies Obama from holding ANY public office in the land, much less the highest office in the land.

Obama would be far better off trying to explain why such mean-spirited "post-partisan" rhetoric is now fair game. Like maybe, "McCain started it!"

As with every public decision Obama has made, this incident tells us something about Obama's judgment. As with every public decision Obama has made, Obama's decisions make him look smaller and less impressive. Far more damning than any indictment uttered against him, Obama condemns himself in the public eye simply by opening his mouth.

As a result, one is left with at least one inescapable conclusion. If Obama can't figure out something as monumentally simple as this, in his own country, among his own people, then how can he possibly hope to deal with the complexities and nuances of other languages and other cultures in other lands far from our own? How much on-the-job training will he require to acquire this skill-set, and how much damage could result in the meantime?

Additionally, some common themes are beginning to materialize from Obama's many gaffes, one of them being that Obama has little respect for women in general and even less for strong women in particular. (Hilary backers, we all feel your pain now.)

What is not so obvious is how long women, in general, are going to sacrifice on behalf of a presidential candidate that regularly discounts and marginalizes them and believes that they are too un-sophisticated to realize what he is doing? Most of us guys have had a "friend" who treated women this way, and most of us guys have gravitated away from that jerk (especially after meeting our wives).

I think this is what's happening across the country right now - people are quietly backing away from the Emperor and are beginning to point and to whisper with their neighbors about his apparent nakedness…..

Remember the funny commercial for the Wendy's fast food chain wherein an impatient older woman finally reaches the front of the line, places her order, receives her burger, then lifts the bun off the top bun, looks around and says "Where's the beef?"

I feel like that little old lady sometimes while listening to the political posturing of and about the Democratic nominee for President, Barrack Obama.

Barrack is supposed to be this great leader who, based on his past experience, wll lead us to a promised land of unity and bipartisan cooperation. I look under the bun for evidence of the validity of this claim and see there is nothing there. OK - maybe this is s just this one anomalous case.

Barrack is suposed to be a statesman of such profound eloquence that he can make even the most blodthirsty sociopath, like Iran's Ahmedinajad, see the sweet light of reason and unilaterally abandon his deadly ambitions. Barring some future revelations, the only relevant experience in the public domain seems to be Obama's attempt to turn around his friend and mentor Jeremiah Wright along with his congregation from their increasingly more  militant and more strident claims of abuse at the hands of the US. Apparently Obama must have had many a deep and soul-searching conversations to try to lead Reverend Wright and his congregation out of the darkness and into the light of civilization. I say "apparently" because, when I look under the bun, I see no burger there. Surely, the video record of these conversations will be forthcoming soon....

Perhaps it was Bill Ayers that Obama tried to talk out of his homicidal rhetoric and inciteful public speaking. Obama is responsible for converting this homicidal maniac into an agent of peace and reconciliation. No one else was brave enough to even try, but Obama did not balk at this seemingly impossible task and, against all odds, Bill Ayers now stands before us a reformed man, probably seeking to join an order of local monks. I'm sure the evidence of this historic and gut-wrenching emotional philosophical battle will be forthcoming in the days and weeks ahead, but for right now, I just wonder - "Where's the beef?"

Obama's addendum to his autobiography is almost certain to be released soon, during this political season, covering all of these accomplishments and more in great detail.   

In the meantime, where's the leadership? Where's the judgment? Where's the decision-making?

Where's the beef?

I think nothing underscores the Palin Fear-Factor better than the fact that Oprah will not even allow Palin on her show. This goes beyond partisan-ship. This goes to censorship. This goes to outright fear of the comparison with her political choice - she knows in her heart that Palin's story of real struggle as a woman with no political ties or assistance versus Obama's story of coziness with despicable, shady, mob-like characters (Oprah knows the Chicago political machine better than most) will destroy Obama.

If any woman ever had any illusions about Oprah's motivations, this incident should serve to pull the blinders off. Sarah Palin is the closest approximation to every feminist ideal that this country has ever seen, *INCLUDING* Oprah (Oprah has no husband and no family - Palin has it *ALL*). The life of Sarah Palin is the ultimate woman's issue, but Sarah is not even a curiosity to Oprah. No one can ignore this amazing disconnect.

Oprah knows that the inevitable comparison between Obama and Palin will heavily favor Palin, so it is not surprising that she punted. This is her prerogative. In doing so, however, Oprah displays zero courage in her own convictions and a stunning lack of confidence in Obama, resulting in this ringing anti-endorsement of Obama. OBAMA SIMPLY DOES NOT MEASURE UP! Nevertheless, he is black, and that's as far as Oprah goes.

If anyone still believes that Oprah is the least bit interested in real women's issues, you need to have your head examined. Oprah is clearly only in this for the money and the political power. (Well, that's how it appears, anyway.) Yes - the classical definition of a Liberal. Women are simply a means to fattening those bank accounts.

Obama is bought and paid for by the "blame America first" crowd. Apparently, it was a very good investment since they got a "twofer"! Just like we got Hilary when we elected Bill, they got Oprah when they only paid for Obama. My fellow Americans, we should be very afraid. Anti-Americanism is becoming a viable political force with a dedicated champion in the Democratic Party.

Not being a woman and not being a viewer myself, I used to think Oprah's show was a great stage for women's issues, when viewed at a distance. Now, looking a little closer, not only do I see Obama as an empty suit (for contrast, see my posts hoping Obama fulfilled my own dreams for blacks in politics), but I get to see another of my icons toppled as well. Oprah had it going on, or so I always thought. I just never had cause to examine that core belief before.  But now she's behaving like just another liberal (money with political power "uber alles").

Oprah's political judgment is now just as suspect as Obama's. It’s now in her best interests to see to it that Palin never meets her audience, or else her audience will learn just how clueless Oprah is politically. After the election is over, I suspect that Palin will demonstrate grace and poise and agree to appear on the hostile Oprah's show, despite this overt snub.

Oprah could have avoided all this by keeping her political opinions to herself. Now that she has clearly taken sides, she is just as open to criticism as anyone else who takes a political stand.

Obama pursued political office then chose not to perform his duties (i.e. voting his conscience). Likewise, Oprah chose to become a political figure. Then, having promoted her candidate on her show to her audience (women), she chose not to ever give equal time to any of his opponents. This is her right, but she is wrong to believe that she, alone, should be exempted from the consequences of taking a political stand.

Oprah slanted the political game in favor of her preferred candidate. That is simple fact. The only problem here is Oprah's obvious and brazen dishonesty about what she has done. Oprah's current take on the whole situation is the equivalent of "I never inhaled".

Look, Oprah - if you don't have confidence in your convictions or in your candidate, just say so. Most people will understand.

What reform has Obama ever accomplished before? And how, exactly, did he do it? What's Obama's record on reform? This question is largely rhetorical, of course, but I ask it in wonder at how thoroughly and completely the MSM cover up or downplay Obama's every fault. And believe they are doing a good thing when they are selling us all down the river. How they believe they'll be exempted is beyond me. As if press credentials to cover a nuclear holocaust would exempt them from radiation poisoning at ground zero. Bu I digress...

Reform requires dedication to principle. As a politician, it means not only showing up but also voting for your beliefs. Not only voting for your beliefs, but also advocating for your beliefs. Going out front. Taking the lead. Reaching across the aisle to find common ground with those outside of your own party. Making your case to your colleagues and to the people you represent.

Obama has never done this. Obama has never even *tried* to do this. Why should he stick his neck out? He's doing just fine taking *NO RISKS AT ALL* thank you very much. Obama believes that "risk-taking is for all those losers" who lack the intelligence he has to finesse the system.

There is no reason for Obama to *ever* try to reform anything - with Democratic control of both houses and the media in his pocket Obama can expect to run roughshod over the Constitution and anything (or anyone) else that stands in the way of his vision of a Socialist Utopia (conservative Talk Radio...).

Obama has described portions of his vision to us already - health care for all, indoctrination-I mean college for all, high-paying jobs for all (America will have no need of low-paying jobs anymore), and so on. He will simply take money from all who have it, funnel it into a government program and give it to those who need it. This much he has told us - we should take him at his word - he will grow government far beyond the breaking point, when real wealth will flee this country, leaving the massive new burdens for funding the engorged government on us. And he'll blame Conservatives for not being patriotic enough to sacrifice all the wealth they've spent their lives producing.

He won't tax us middle class schlubs at first, and he'll never cut the programs, therefore he *MUST* tax us later, probably with the rallying cry "...ask what you can do for your country."

He knows his constituency well enough to know that they will follow him without question, and damn us for not doing so. Therefore it is up to us Conservatives to nip this disaster in the bud.

Force all liberals to deal with the facts of their party's ticket. Don't let them change the subject. Don't let them get away with throwing a hissy-fit - just wait until they're done ranting and ask your question for specifics again. And again. Until you get an answer or an "I don't know" out of them. Either way, it'll be good for them.

Friends don't let friends cut their own throats.

I've figured it out, folks! I understand now why the Libs are so desperate to destroy Sarah Palin. It's simple: Liberals don't want their ideology to die a horrible and excruciatingly painful death.

Sarah Palin's very *existence* puts the lie to the last 30 years of Liberal Demagoguery in every aspect and in excruciating detail! The contrast is so stark that the simple conclusion is obvious - either Sarah Palin's life story is true *OR* Liberal ideology is true. There is no room for compromise here - the two are mutually exclusive.

Either a woman can build a political career *COMPLETELY* on her own, or else a woman requires assistance from her husband and/or father and/or Liberal interest groups to help her along. There can be only one.

Either a woman can have it all and have it all on her own terms or she must demure to the Liberal power elites who can grant it to her on their terms. Only one of these can be true - there can be only one.

Either a woman can succeed in business and at home with only husband and her family behind her or she is helpless to juggle all the responsibilities without the assistance of the powerful Liberal elites. There can be only one.

Either the Feminists have been holding back all women who do not believe in the ideals of Socialism, or else Feminists support Sarah Palin's run for the VP and ultimately the Presidency just as they do Hilary Clinton's run. There can be only one.

The facts are simple and laid out for all to see.

Normally, the Liberal MSM can elude the contest of ideas by simply not publishing anything Conservatives have to say, claiming that, in their editorial judgment, it is not "newsworthy". Alternatively, by deliberately misstating Conservative viewpoints.

However, in this political cycle, nothing about Sarah Palin can be ignored. Every word she utters *MUST* be covered, meaning the truth gets out and there's nothing that can be done to stop it.

The ONLY chance the Libs have is to flood the airwaves with so much noise/garbage that it overloads the reader/viewer/listener and fatigue sets in (preferably with the word "scandal" uttered in every sentence). In this season, the more outrageous the claim, no matter how obviously untrue, the more quickly it will be rated as "newsworthy" and published.

Liberals know their audience - primarily children and adults who refuse to grow up, they are the "government owes me and us" crowd. Truth is irrelevant to Democrats is general and to Liberals in particular, until they make the plunge and choose to grow up. So, Liberal MSMers know that they can publish any falsehood and, by virtue of the great "Liberal echo chamber”, that falsehood will become GOSPEL for their liberal audience, to be repeated for years after the story is retracted. Once the story is published, the damage is done, and the damage is permanent.

That is what Liberal MSMers assume with their audiences. Liberals are simply too dumb to see the truth right in front of them and Liberals rely on this stupidity to keep themselves in power. So, the only thing that matters is to get the story out. Wait several hours; retract the story and the story lives on for years.

Liberals also know that many Liberals long to be a hero, and so they are encouraged to "find the dirt" on Sarah Palin, even if they have to make it up. (Aliens, Big Foot, no lot is too implausible) Become a hero - make up SOMETHING about Sarah. Again, the stories can all be retracted later.

We have not yet seen how low and how heinous Liberals can stoop. Why? Sarah Palin has cornered the Liberal establishment in academia and the MSM and political animals are the most dangerous when they are cornered. Liberal ideology is on the wane, Conservatism is ascendant, and Liberals feel their tenuous hold on political power slipping away.

All the years of cultivating and applying their indoctrination techniques (media, all levels of education) are about to crumble to dust in the face of the simple TRUTH of one woman's life accomplishments. Sarah Palin has done it all.

Either the truth of Sarah Palin shall stand and remain, or Liberalism will remain. There can be only one.

Either Sarah Palin's reputation can be impugned/damaged/detracted from, or Sarah Palin is the culmination of Feminist ideology and as such, is heir to the same symbolic figurehead status as Hilary Clinton and other Liberals. There can be only one.

Either Hilary Clinton and her long line of sympathy ploys is the Feminist ideal or Sarah Palin with her long record of accomplishments is the Feminist ideal. There can be only one.

Either Obama has demonstrated good judgment and leadership qualities or Sarah exemplifies good judgment and leadership qualities. There can be only one.

Either Obama has a history of reaching across the aisle and compromising and challenging his own party AGAINST HIS OWN POLITICAL INTERESTS or else McCain has a history of reaching across the aisle to anyone who will move the country forward in a positive way. There can be only one.

Either Obama shows good judgment in making friends with sworn enemies of America, or McCain shows good judgment in fighting against all America's enemies, foreign and domestic, with every fiber of his being.. There can be only one.


Either Liberal ideals based on equal outcomes for all are valid and viable or else Conservative ideals based on equal opportunity for all are valid and viable.

There can be only one.


Either McCain shows good judgment in picking his VP and/or responding to Hurricane Gustav and/or responding to Russian aggression and/or responding to America's energy crunch and so on, or else Obama shows good judgment in following McCain's lead (whenever McCain goes first, that is).

There can be only one.

As a former Mitt Romney supporter, I now thank God for John McCain. John McCain's courage cannot be taught - you either have it or you don't. And no amount of posturing or bluster can imitate it or make it less impressive. Coupled with his "country first" convictions and there is nothing he cannot accomplish - it is all within his grasp.

There can be only one. And "The One" becomes less and less impressive every day. He dodges questions. He mollifies dictators. He wants the title, but he clearly does not want the job of having to make gut-wrenching decisions - he has avoided decision-making throughout his political and professional career.

Wow! I think Sarah doesn't know her own strength. She hit the Dems so hard that they are positively BABBLING! Listen to them - they are  all in DENIAL! Clearly, their ONLY HOPE is that their patsy Democrat constituents did not actually WATCH OR HEAR "The Speech" - otherwise they're sunk.

Democrats are reeling - the more impossible and outrageous and off-base the charge against her, the more obvious it is that THEY HAVE A GLASS JAW!!!! RIGHT NOW THEY'RE SAYING ANYTHING TO KEEP HER FROM opening her mouth again and knocking them through the ropes again!!!

"She's too negative!"

"She's just the new Republican attack dog."

"She's a witch!"

"Her speech was empty and pointless!"

"Smart women won't listen to her."

"She's just so mean, we really need to take the kid gloves off!"

"Mommy, Republicans keep laughing at us and every stupid thing we say and we don't like it, so MAKE THEM STOP!"

"She's just the same old Republican male mentality in a skirt."

"She turned me into a newt!"

".....I got better."

Look - Listen - Are you paying attention, Republicans? Follow the leader, guys - it's called WINNING and THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!

Whenever a Liberal makes an outrageous or unfounded claim about anything at all, ask him or her to explain *EXACTLY* what they mean.

You'll be surprised to discover that they don't really know - they just like how it sounded when they heard it.   :-)

....just one more time, guys - after all the bloody noses and busted lips Sarah dished out to  everyone on the ticket last night (including ringers in the MSM), what exactly do you mean when you say she is "lacking in experience", hmmmmm?

LAMERS!

OBAMA REALITY CHECK: You've been check-mated by Hilary, Obama! You need her now - I suggest crawling on your knees, bearing fresh-cut flowers and a box of chocolates, for starters....

"...And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson...."

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.


ROTFLMAO!
