Who was John Galt?

Barry is no longer hiding his classic Socialist plan to turn Robin Hood and tax the rich to "spread the wealth" around to benefit his favorite losers. Of course, whenever Dems say they will tax the rich, they usually wind up taxing the middle class, as well, like the plumber who elicited the remark from Barry in the first place–doing the job the Big Media would do if it wasn’t doing Barry propaganda full time. The truly rich have lots of alternatives to avoid extra taxation. The middle class, with fewer options, might just be ready for revolt.

The coming uncivil war

This sort of thing happens every quadrennial election cycle, especially in the final, angry weeks. The racial message, however, carries a sharper point this time. The old culture wars were never more in focus, never more stark, with the Big Media piling on Sarah and her family, while a half-black, far-Left, ward-heeling presidential candidate is lately blessed by Minister Farrakhan as "the Messiah." The defeated opposition’s resentful agitation is a sure thing. At least Republicans don’t riot. Democrats are guaranteed to.

ADDENDUM:  Instapundit emailers suggest what Libertarians/Conservatives will do if Barry wins. It won’t be rioting, but the next best thing.

Why Barry will lose

It’s not a popular opinion, of course, but I’ve never thought Barry could win, even with Big Media in the bag. They were in the bag for John Kerry, too. Even with the polls showing Barry ahead, a few by as much as eleven points. Most have his "lead" barely outside the margin of error. All are using other polling to weight Democrat influence ahead of Republican or Independent. Yet other results consistently show Mac ahead in the "qualified to command" and "ready to be president" categories.

The stock market is dropping like a stone, so the party in power gets the blame for economic troubles, even though unfairly. Barry will win in a landslide. Especially because Mac isn’t attacking enough, but trying to win the gentlemanly way. I still don’t believe it. If ever there was a time for people to vote for the tested, however boring, instead of a novelty act with a compelling demeanor but less experience than a certain maligned governor of Alaska, this is it. Times of great uncertainly call for the tried-and-true, not a sparkling, young neophyte of dubious background.

Tony the canary

The Seablogger and others are almost convinced that Barry will be cut off at the knees by his old pal and financier Tony Rezko before election day. Chicago Tony is said to be singing like a tweety bird to the federal prosecutors to get a shorter sentence on his fraud conviction. If predictions like this one come true, whatever will Barry’s Greek chorus at the NYTimes and WaPo–now busy decrying his critics as, don’t you know, racists–come up with for an encore?

Why stop with Ayers?

Barry is an absolute cornucopia of mystery and poor judgement, as shown by Red Planet Cartoons dot com. On the other hand, Ayers has a current connection to Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez.

Barry’s client’s crimes

Is ACORN out to steal the election? asks Investor’s Business Daily. The "activist" outfit that once employed Barry to sue the state of Illinois, has eight hundred thousand dollars of his campaign money to register new voters–passed to them by a false-front cut-out, the way they do things in Chicago.

But the complaints, investigations and indictments over phony registrations are rolling in–especially in states that don’t require an I.D. to vote. ACORN is another of Barry’s seldom-discussed "executive" positions, from 1992, when he was their executive director for voter registration–oddly enough. Mac better be ready to contest any close results.

Dems still split over Barry

The polls, can you trust them? For instance, they say Virginia is tilting to Barry. But my friend, a former Democrat county chairman in the western part of the state, says he and some of his Democrat friends will be quietly voting for Mac and Sarah.

He’s retired military and, while he doesn’t like it that Barry never served, he mainly feels that he can’t turn his back on Mac, a fellow Vietnam veteran. His friends mainly dislike the fact that Barry has no experience to speak of. Racism may be playing some part in their calculations, given Barry’s racist church of twenty years and his penchant for playing the race card, but they’re not talking about that. Others, it seems, are exercised about Barry’s legitimacy as a nominee.
