Bad lost, worse won

The novelty act was voted best of show. Good grief.

It will be fascinating to read of Rev. Wright leading future prayer breakfasts at the White House, while expounding on his theories of the differences between white and black brains. Not to mention Minister Farrakhan’s bow-tied Fruit of Islam on the rope line.

I suppose the F.O.I. will form the backbone of Barry’s proposed federal civilian militia. Something tells me they won’t be operating in Texas, not if they value their lives. I suppose we can look forward to unrepentent terrorist Bill Ayers (the Obama family babysitter) receiving the Medal of Freedom for his bravery in cop-killing and Pentagon bombing so long ago. He has dedicated his new book to Sirhan Sirhan, RFK’s assassin, which should please his acolyte Barry enormously. What will Hugo Chavez and Mamoud the Mad get? Besides state dinners, rides in the presidential helicopter, and salutes from the (choke) U.S. Marines? 

This is going to be a strange and, potentially quite bitter, four years with the nation’s first radical president whose bizarre attitudes will come clear, as someone said, when the pixie dust wears off. Former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, a notorious anti-Semite whose political machine taught Barry much of what he knows of politics, including how to get around the campaign contribution laws, is probably sitting up in his grave wondering whether to cheer or spit. His machine finally took the White House, but at what cost?

As the Seablogger says, I hope the Secret Service works overtime to protect Barry. The thought of a President Biden, who is not a radical but is a fully-fledged moron, is even more fearful.

Bobby Jindal is now the best Republican hope for 2012. In the new person-of-color-game we’ll trade ours for yours. At least ours has executive experience and loves his country. Sarah’s another good choice. Or both–if Bobby’ll take veep. 😉

The youth vote delusion

Prediction from HillBuzz, a P.U.M.A. still angry enough at Barry to vote for Mac:

"…young voters are the Holy Grail of election delusions, because every Democrat, every election, claims ‘young people love me and will come out in record numbers to vote for me!’ Well, let us just tell you that early voting ended today [Oct. 31] in Chicago. In our building, there is a suite full of about 6 frat boys who sometimes stop us in the laundry room to talk politics. They are all hot DePaul hockey players, so we are glad to chat them up any time they want. All of them said they were going to vote for Obama, and all of them forgot to early vote. All of them have class and work on Tuesday. We honestly believe all 6 of these guys are going to forget to vote on Election Day — and the polling station for our neighborhood is literally one street away. We think this will happen not just with the hot hockey players in our building, but in many other buildings in Chicago, and in cities across the US."

Heh. Good luck with the youth vote, Barry.

P.S. from HillBuzz: "Don’t be Eeyores on Tuesday! Get those Eeyore butts off your couches, away from toxic TV, and GO VOTE."

P.P.S. from me: Despite living in a neighborhood near abundant apartments filled with college students, I saw not a single one this morning when I went to vote. Just us old folks and no lines at all. I did stand out for not having on sandals and tie-dye, but ’twas nary a youth in sight. Heh.

Barry wants to bankrupt the coal industry

Oh, yeah, that’ll win votes in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, etc. Really, really smart.

Mac’s sending an AIM 9 up his tailpipe on this one, however.

And while Barry’s working over coal, he plans to force your electric bill through the roof. Gotta save the whales from the global warming fantasy, ya know.

Barry’s socialism

All this jabber about the socialism Barry will bring if he’s elected is more than a bit silly. He might bring more welfare programs, it’s true, but all he can do is add to what’s already here, and that’s plenty: Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid. The sacrosanct Farm Subsidies that keep agribusiness, not family farmers, in the chips. What are they if not socialism, be it with a small or a capital s?

Nevertheless, for reasons of his radical politics, campaign donation fraud, and thuggish associates, I hope Barry loses today. I did my part this morning, voting straight Republican. Not that that’s likely to have any effect on liberal Dem Austin, or on Republican Texas, but it will help add to Mac’s popular vote total.

Not that much change

One more reason to vote for Mac

Possibly the best, via Jay Nordlinger at National Review Online, in a remark about Reagan:

"Reagan spent his entire life standing up to the bully. From boyhood on, he interposed himself between the bully and the innocent. He stood up to the bullies in his schools. He stood up to the Communists in Hollywood, and to the coercive unions. He stood up to the student radicals and their abettors. He stood up to the Soviets. He simply stood up.

"In the world today are a lot of bullies to stand up to: al-Qaeda, the mullahs, the North Koreans, the Chinese Communists, the Castro brothers, Chávez. John McCain will almost certainly do it. Barack Obama will almost certainly not."
