“Contrarian That I Am”

Can I ever relate to that! Yes, contrary to the constant badgering of my family, there is no way in freakin’ HELL I will ever vote for Obama. Not ever gonna happen, I keep telling them, and for the HOST of reasons about which I have written ad nauseum, at this point.
If you need a recap, suffice it to say I will not vote for the most arrogant, condescending, homophobic, lying, bullying, cheating (with help from the DNC), unqualified, inexperienced, race baiting, Authoritarian Socialistic misogynist ever. I mean, NEVER. Apparently, neither will Charles Krauthammer, a commentator who is growing on me (H/T to SusanUnPC for this article!).
Recently, in this article, McCain for President, Dr.Krauthammer
endorsed McCain. Dr. Krauthammer laid it all out there, saying what a lot of us out here think, too:
Contrarian that I am, I’m voting for John McCain. I’m not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it’s over before it’s over. I’m talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they’re left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years.I stand athwart the rush of conservative ship-jumpers of every stripe — neo (Ken Adelman), moderate (Colin Powell), genetic/ironic (Christopher Buckley) and socialist/atheist (Christopher Hitchens) — yelling “Stop!” I shall have no part of this motley crew. I will go down with the McCain ship. I’d rather lose an election than lose my bearings.
Well, good for him.
Scott McClellan apparently couldn’t sign up fast enough, the man who served as Bush’s mouthpiece for the war is now an Obama supporter. Funny, I haven’t heard any disdain coming out from the Obamabots about him. Or “If We Don’t Invade Iraq We Will Be Awash In White Powder” Powell. I guess it’s okay that the man who SOLD the war so many of us oppose, and one of the MAIN reasons Obamabots claim they support Obama, now endorses an Obama presidency is somehow a great achievement to these people. Logic is not their strong suit, apparently.
Krauthammer continues:
First, I’ll have no truck with the phony case ginned up to rationalize voting for the most liberal and inexperienced presidential nominee in living memory. The “erratic” temperament issue, for example. As if McCain’s risky and unsuccessful but in no way irrational attempt to tactically maneuver his way through the economic tsunami that came crashing down a month ago renders unfit for office a man who demonstrated the most admirable equanimity and courage in the face of unimaginable pressures as a prisoner of war, and who later steadily navigated innumerable challenges and setbacks, not the least of which was the collapse of his campaign just a year ago.McCain the “erratic” is a cheap Obama talking point. The 40-year record testifies to McCain the stalwart.
Here is what is so, so, so sad about this whole election campaign. An amazingly qualified candidate had her decades’ worth of experience minimized and belittled by her opponent, her party, members of her party, and the media, largely because she is a woman. Had anyone else had that breadth and depth of experience, they would be glorified. And now they have started on McCain, but taking a different tact. Now it is that McCain is so old his experience doesn’t matter - it’s old school, and we’re the new kids on the block. Get out the way, Gramps - the cool kids are coming through now, and they’re gonna show you how it’s REALLY done. Never mind that these wet-behind-the-ears pups haven’t the FOGGIEST into what they are getting themselves. They have proclaimed The One to be the cat’s meow, and he can do no wrong. Especially since they haven’t bothered to listen to what he actually SAYS he is going to do or how he is going to do it. I reckon they think they’ll just be getting a check from him if he’s elected, and that’s all they need. Either way, experience is BAD - inexperience is GOOD!!! Sheesh.
Krauthammer won’t put up with all of the Obama Camp nonsense, though, thank heavens:
Nor will I countenance the “dirty campaign” pretense. The double standard here is stunning. Obama ran a scurrilous Spanish-language ad falsely associating McCain with anti-Hispanic slurs. Another ad falsely claimed that McCain supports “cutting Social Security benefits in half.” And for months Democrats insisted that McCain sought 100 years of war in Iraq.McCain’s critics are offended that he raised the issue of William Ayers. What’s astonishing is that Obama was himself not offended by William Ayers.
Halle-damn-lujah - Someone is saying what we have been saying. How is it that Obama has continued this relationship with this man, this “educator” trying to radicalize the youth of Chicago, who bombed the Pentagon and our Capitol Building? How can that possibly be? I think we all know the answer to that question, and the recently revealed video tapes in which Obama expresses his true ideology are confirmed. Though Barbara West, she of the interview with Biden that actually tried to get answers, said that Obama said himself, in his book, that he was intrigued by Marxism, and sought out friends with a Marxist bent. I’ll provide that video for you at the end of this post. The point is that we should ALL have been offended by Obama’s relationship to Ayers, not excusing it.
The good doctor continues his explanation for his choice, including the race-baiting of the Obama camp:
Moreover, the most remarkable of all tactical choices of this election season is the attack that never was. Out of extreme (and unnecessary) conscientiousness, McCain refused to raise the legitimate issue of Obama’s most egregious association — with the race-baiting Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Dirty campaigning, indeed.The case for McCain is straightforward. The financial crisis has made us forget, or just blindly deny, how dangerous the world out there is. We have a generations-long struggle with Islamic jihadism. An apocalyptic soon-to-be-nuclear Iran. A nuclear-armed Pakistan in danger of fragmentation. A rising Russia pushing the limits of revanchism. Plus the sure-to-come Falklands-like surprise popping out of nowhere.
Who do you want answering that phone at 3 a.m.? A man who’s been cramming on these issues for the past year, who’s never had to make an executive decision affecting so much as a city, let alone the world? A foreign policy novice instinctively inclined to the flabbiest, most vaporous multilateralism (e.g., the Berlin Wall came down because of “a world that stands as one”), and who refers to the most deliberate act of war since Pearl Harbor as “the tragedy of 9/11,” a term more appropriate for a bus accident?
Or do you want a man who is the most prepared, most knowledgeable, most serious foreign policy thinker in the United States Senate? A man who not only has the best instincts but has the honor and the courage to, yes, put country first, as when he carried the lonely fight for the surge that turned Iraq from catastrophic defeat into achievable strategic victory?
Is this a trick question? Well, I agree with Krauthammer when he writes:
There’s just no comparison. Obama’s own running mate warned this week that Obama’s youth and inexperience will invite a crisis — indeed a crisis “generated” precisely to test him. Can you be serious about national security and vote on Nov. 4 to invite that test?And how will he pass it? Well, how has he fared on the only two significant foreign policy tests he has faced since he’s been in the Senate? The first was the surge. Obama failed spectacularly. He not only opposed it. He tried to denigrate it, stop it and, finally, deny its success.
The second test was Georgia, to which Obama responded instinctively with evenhanded moral equivalence, urging restraint on both sides. McCain did not have to consult his advisers to instantly identify the aggressor.
Today’s economic crisis, like every other in our history, will in time pass. But the barbarians will still be at the gates. Whom do you want on the parapet? I’m for the guy who can tell the lion from the lamb. letters@charleskrauthammer.com
Do the Obama people just want to pretend all of McCain’s qualifications don’t exist because of his age, or because he is Republican, or because if they do acknowledge it, they will negate their own campain? In any event, so far, they have been allowed to get away with it, courtesy of the Fourth Estate. Most of the MSM never acknowledge McCain’s stand on the economy, all the way back to 2005, and Obama’s bounty from the very people who got us into this economic mess. No, rather they lump McCain into the pool of people they claim are responsible for the misfortune facing so many, TOO may, people in this country now. Apparently, creating news has become more important than reporting news, at least when it comes to Obama and McCain. And while I was opposed to the surge, thinking it was a bad idea, I have to admit that it does seem to be working now. Rather than give McCain the credit he deserves for knowing that from the beginning, media prefers to rationalize away Obama’s stand, or they seem to steer away from any discussion of what is happening in Iraq at all these days. That seems to be how they deal with everything - ignore, obfuscate, justify, manipulate, lie.
Yep, that Dr. Krauthammer is one smart man, I have to say. While I do not agree with him on everything in general, I agree with him on this: McCain is far more qualified, both in terms of experience and in terms of character, to lead this country.
As promised, here is the Barbara West piece in which she explains where she got her questions to ask Joe Biden about Obama’s socialistic tendencies. Obama himself, of course:

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
On the subject of redistribution - everyone has to go on to workforce.com. There is an article about House Democrats attempting to abolish the tax break on 401k’s to institute a national pension. That would be a huge middle class tax increase. This has to get out before the election.
Dr. Krauthammer is one of the few commentators that grabs my attention. Dick Morris is another person I love to listen to regarding this election.
Dick Morris is a good political analyst now that Hillary’s not in the race. I actually listen and learn from him.
His Clinton hate is so venomous, though, so putrid, so vengeful, so unprofessional, so creepy - I wouldn’t have listened to him on a bet back in the primaries.
Now that we’re on the same side he seems smarter somehow - lol!
I know; don’t you hate yourself? Sometimes, I even forget he was sucking the toe of his paid mistress while on the telephone with then President Clinton.
Yeah - the man is gross. But sometimes the enemy of my enemy can be my friend (well, maybe I wouldn’t go that far!)
Did you get Dick M.’s book? He talks about what will happen as Obama goes up in the polls. The market will go down….remember this book has been out for awhile, before Obama was the dem nominee…he must have a crystal ball because he has been right on the money in his book.
Wow!
Yes–along with Newt & Rove, Morris was one of the Unholy Trinity that I could not tolerate. Now I can recognize that sometimes they make sense. Maybe I was too rigid in my political thought before The Precious arrived on the scene. Maybe he is bringing a religious experience after all . . . “Praise the Lord, I saw the light!”
Exactly - LOL!
Isn’t it amazing how many new friends we’ve found? I don’t know…maybe Barry’s changed all of us…staunch Republicans as well. I’ve always been patriotic but never so much as now that the country is actually threatened from within by the stealth candidate.
Firefly,
I agree with you about Morris’ completely unhinged attitude about the Clintons. I would change the channel whenever Dick came on. I’m an independent with Republican leanings and because of this man and the Hillary bashing MSM I took a second look at Hillary and I think that she was great during the primaries. She has class.
That she has!
I agree 100%
Dick Morris went to Kenya and managed the campaign of Raila Odinga, Barack’s cousin, whose supporters went on a murderous rampage after he lost the election.
Obama also went to Kenya and helped him with his campaign. Did our tax dollars pay for Obama to interfere in a foreign election? Odinga ran on the same CHANGE platform as Baracks.
I was a big fan of Dr K until he started beating McCain up both on Fox and in his column. When McCain picked Palin as his choice for VP, Dr K was merciless in his attacks on her, sometimes worse than the Democrats. His endorsement of McCain is only because he considers Obama to be unqualified to be the President. He still considers Palin to be unqualified. Then there’s Dick Morris. He’s had it in for Hillary ever since he got canned after his foot fetish with hookers was exposed.
Krauthammer is a nazi and Morris is an idiotic pervert — we don’t have to adopt them just because we agree with them for once — be careful. An enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
Amen, Janet.
And Dick Morris went to Kenya and helped Odinga’s campaign….what the hell is his game?
Plus, I have to mention…if any creative class friend of mine has ANYTHING to say after that nauseating infomercial complete with CHEESY soundtrack I will laugh in their dumbass face.
Can we walk a sane line here, folks?
I was impressed with Krauthammer’s piece. Bill Kristol came out with one equally good. He quashed that Obama talking point that because Obama “ran a good campaign” that he’d run an equally good administration. Kristol noted that if that were the case then Carter in 1980 and Bush in 2000 would be considered to have successful presidencies, and we know neither are considered that.

Well everyone i ventured to the tree of knowledge of good and evil on nbc, and viewed the forbidden fruit the snake was however unimpressive. He didn’t have teleprompter, stayed about 30 second and turned to fox news
Well, you have a stronger stomach than I have!
I’m in California and it’s on at 8:00 our time - 2 hours and 15 minutes from now - but I won’t be tuning in - at all.
I was hoping somebody would be watching it and reporting in - thanks for your 30-second report, kgirl!
Anybody on the east coast watching it?
Thanks for that - I wondered if anyone had checked it out or not. I can barely stomach listening to him for 30 seconds much less 30 minutes, and that’s only for research!
me too and I have never even watched him for 30 seconds ever.
Caught it too with a house full of my son’s friends, late twenties, early thirties. These guys got up and did the hopey dopey. Pretty funny.
You put your paycheck in, you take your paycheck out, you put your paycheck in and you shake it all about. You do the hopey dopey and you pay the other guy, that’s what’s all about.
You put your service hours in, you take your service hours out, you put your service hours in and you shake em all about. You do the hopey dopey and you work yourself to the ground, that’s what it’s all about.
That’s a sample, it went on and on. I guess there are no BO supporters in this house here in Calif.
Woohoo! I love it when the youngun’s can see past the mask. My two 22 and 24 year old sons won’t drink the koolaid either.
CJ, this is fabulous. So nice to know there are a bunch of people in this age range who are not drinking the koolaid.
Bravo.
Ani
I have 3 young adults, 22, 24 and 25 who are all voting for McCain along with me and their father. We do exist, we are out there and we are former lifelong Dems.
Excellent! I too have a bunch voting first time Republican.
i was busy flushing the toilet, guess its about the same.
Yep, big Joe the Plumber dudes not baraking the vote! LOL
That’s awesome!
CJ, that is freakin’ AWESOME!!! Oh, I wish you had videotaped it - I would have put it in a post!
Of course, now I’m singing the song in my head…
My 28 yo son, 30 yo daughter and 31 yo son-in-law and all voting for McCain/Palin, along with my husband and myself! Thank God they didn’t want any of that nasty Kool-Aid!!
Anyone know if Patti Solis Doyle picked out her Chief of VP Staff Office in the White House yet?
Joe and Patti cooool.
Oh, yeah. Whatever happened to her? Too bad she’s going to have to be on unemployment soon.
Obama will be the first black President and he will be the last black President that America will have. After his adminstration, no one will want to give a minority a chance at the Presidency…again. He ruins it for everybody…
0bama ain’t gonna be president.
I don’t think he’ll ruin it for everybody. I hope he ruins it for himself, but BO being a total tool will not prevent me from giving another AA a look should she run for president.
Right on Lisa…should she run. LOL
Oblahblah will not win this.
No he won’t.
~ Rev. Amy,
Always love your posts. I get riled* up and neglect to say, thanks!
And since I’m here again, I am so uneasy with the Dick Morris ~ I think he may be an Odinga $$$ contributor. I’d feel extremely fleeced it he did.
Never know what to believe anymore. Did he?
*compassionate
Thanks, Papoose! I appreciate that!
Well, I did a quick search on Dick Morris and Odinga, and Odinga did hire him to be a consultant. I am sure there is more there…
Morris is such a double edged sword - I get that he is great on the political level, but the way he treats women and HILLARY?? Not so much!!!
I don’t think Dick Morris is particularly insightful. He’s often wrong too. For instance, he thought McCain’s campaign suspension due to the fiscal crisis was brilliant (he called it a stunt) and that McCain would save the day and ride away on his white horse. We all know it didn’t turn out this way. However, in a world where media are fair and don’t have political agendas, McCain would’ve [and should've] gotten more credit for what he DID accomplish. Those Republicans who opposed the bailout didn’t even have a seat at the negotiating table until McCain helped make it happen. And the final package had some tax cuts in it — that’s how it got more Republican votes. McCain was a catalyst but didn’t get a lick of credit for it. If you didn’t blink at the time, you would’ve seen the fleeting story that Obama inflamed the roundtable discussion Bush called for and turned it into a shouting match. But that didn’t fit into the narrative of him being cool, smooth and post-partisan so the story was, as usual, buried.
That is absolutely right, Patience. The MSM keeps beating this, “Obama is so even keeled and smooth” that they will not really deal with the instances when he is not (and honestly - there were a number of times in the debates - ANY of the debates - when something wasn’t going his way). Astonishing.
And heck yes, McCain SHOULD have gotten more credit than he did in dealing with the economy. But that, too, didn’t fit their narrative, so they have worked HARD to bury it. Really astonishing to see how BAD our media really is. Shocking.
Thanks for the good comment!
Why have we not heard much about Khalid Al-Mansour? I think I remember seeing in once. This is probably one of Obama’s most suspect relationships.

Because.
duh?
: )
I have been wondering the same thing. There’s videos done by a guy called arkadyka on youtube that do a good job of connecting some of the dots with regard to al Mansour, Said, Khalidi, Ayers, etc - Obama Harvard Muslim Connection.
What do the rest of you say? Why hasn’t there been any talk of this???
The only time I saw it mentioned was on Hannity’s America.
I second that.
Obama aint gonna be president.
America aint votin’ for him.
Have you checked out the AOL straw poll? Just for fun.
Notice how the majority agree that McCain is better for the economy and security issues on the Rasmussen Reports. It’s doubtful that everyone is going to agree McCain is better and then turn around and vote for the imbecile.
Buzz Latte, I wonder if those people answer honestly about the internal questions of the poll but say they will vote for Obama because they are afraid of being called racist if they admitted they are going to vote for McCain.
I have been bothered by a few things about this election: First I remember a quote from Bush Sr saying, “I’ll do everything in my power to make fight Hillary.” Now I wonder why it seems that the Bush Adm. has made it really difficult for McCain with the timing of the “economic crisis” getting on the spotlight in August–too late for the economy to recover before the elections. Followed by Bernanke’s endorsement of Obama, it really raises the question in my mind that not only democrats but financial elites have decided to make Obama president.
Hillary promised to look into all govt. contracts relating to defense and the war in Iraq. McCain has promised to “shake up Washington and go after corruption.” Is this the real reason for how things are politically? Is there an anti-reform mentality in control of the government and nothing that the people want to benefit the majority of the citizens of the country really matter? Hillary suggested a moratorium on foreclosures that would not have needed the absurd sum of money allocated to bailout wall street and would have cause less heartache for many homeowners. How come the adm. or the Fed. Reserve Board waited until August to get anything done?
I pray that it is not so. This country is in a very bad shape and will get worse if the scheme of this evildoers succeed.
They don’t make the final decision - no matter how much money those groups have.
WE - the people - make the final decision. On November 4th.
Fetizarte,
I have wondered about the same thing.
Except I think it may have more to do with a “one world government” attitude from Bush Sr. and W. I remember my father-in-law saying something a long time ago about Bush Sr. belonging to a group who was pushing for a “one world government”.
He was quite upset that Bush Sr. had won his first term election as POTUS and relieved when Clinton defeated him. My father-in-law is a lifetime Republican.
The short answer to your questions is, “Yes.” The long answer would require a discussion of whence comes the willingness of the establishment (the elites in both parties and the media) to allow someone like Sen. Obama to gain the White House rather than allow anti-elite reformers to do so.

I watched the Obama informercial. I have to say that it was pure garbage. There was nothing in it about what Obama has actually done. They tried to say Obama spoke up about an issue or two in congress. I had to laugh. WOW! A congressman getting involved in ONE issue! My goodness, let’s make him president.
The whole thing was about trying to seem more in touch with working Americans. FAIL!!!
Production value was low. It was hacked together at the last minute and showed that he just doesn’t get it.
I hope he airs it again.
What do you think undecideds (very few at this point) will make of it?
If there are truly any undecided voters at this point, and they think an infomercial will be instructive, they must be imbeciles. Sorry but that’s how I feel.
You know, so many on this site are resurrecting some wonderful vocabulary words:
imbecile
nitwit
cretin
dufus
It just downright warms the cockles.
thanks for letting us know, I wouldn’t watch it. I think it will just piss off alot of people because of the arrogance and obscenity of the massive amounts of money he is spending and it delayed the start of the World Series.
I agree w others, I know we’ve got some crazies in this country, but if the majority were not sound, sane, patriotic people who love this country, understand our foundation and realize what makes it work, we would be China not the USA. We will always have crazies running around just like the 60’s. Let’s show ‘em on Nov. 4th that this is the United States of America not a communist country.
God Bless America and God Bless John McCain and Sarah Palin
Think about it: how is a candidate who’s known to be an associate of racists, terrorists, and Israel-haters, who supports passive infanticide and sex ed for kindergarteners, and who himself claimed belief in the redistribution of wealth (read COMMUNIST!) going to be elected POTUS?! No.way. And the fact that convenient turncoat Christopher Hitchens is supporting him gives me the creeps. Hitchens is no socialist anymore. When he thought there was more money on the right, he went there politically. But he’s still a screaming atheist. And he’s for Bobo? Hmmmm….
In his endorsement of Obama, Hitchens made a particular point of ridiculing Palin. I think he’s bought into the [false] anti-Palin presumption that she represents the possibility of theocrats gaining power. Obama [self-survingly and under duress] denounced his church. Palin hasn’t and won’t. If nothing else, Hitchens is consistently atheistic.
Thanks for posting another good one, Rev.Amy. Love Krauthammer’s last line:
“I’m for the guy who can tell the lion from the lamb.”
Absolutely, yet the Obama campaign would have us believe the reverse of what we know is true: sit down with thugs, no preconditions [yes, of course, he's "refined" the wording now], that the “New Party” is new [no it's old, been tried and failed], that “change” is inherently good [depends on what change you're talking about, don'tcha think?], that raising taxes in an economic crisis is a smart thing to do [check out Herbert Hoover] and the list goes on and on and on.
The office of POTUS is not amatuer hour, and sorry running for office is not the same as holding office and doing the job effectively 24/7.
I’ll go for the old guy who can actually list his accomplishments, his vast experience and has sacrificed more than most of us can ever imagine.
Do I grieve for my party and Hillary Clinton. Yes, I do. But 10 days ago, I voted my conscience without bitterness or hesitation.
McCain/Palin ‘08
OT but the so-called youth and AA vote is only helping the Dems this election thanks to all the money and media hype. But what happens in 2010? These same voters would be long gone and many of the hardcore democratic supporters like me who switched over to voting for McCain/Palin will not forget what the DNC stole out votes and promote such incompetence. They used to be able to count on my vote come any election, but not anymore. The sentiments are the same for the rest of my family.
I predict that the DNC will lose both the house and senate soon enough.
You betcha and we’ll make that happen…again and again until the party is completely purged of these Nazis.
Good Post!
“the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they’re left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years”
LOL
I am so glad to hear that it will tank. I can’t watch even ten seconds of the FRAUD.
H&C for tonight
Oh but his voice is just so wonderful — just listen to him.
Oh yeck! How stupid can people be?
He is the most unqualified candidate EVER to get this damned close.
Now the latest response for those not voting for McCain — well he’s a continuation of Bush (we know that this is a lie). Or Palin is a Bimbo and McCain is going to drop dead any moment.
We are getting a double dose of prejudice and hatred — ageism and sexism in one damned sentence.
At this point Obama has no color — he has risen about skin color by virtue of his (1) education (2) cultural upbringing — well off grandparents — in Hawaii where being of color carried a huge advantage, (3) income and where he lives — Hyde Park — income more important than color of skin, (4) Most importantly — Obama has a penis. His penis has gotten him much further than any AA female would have ever gotten. Beatrice Obama would never had gotten the millions in “starter” funds to even begin the campaign.
Walter Cronkite was born on 4 November in 1916. Just in case anyone was wondering who has a birthday on 4 November. What happened to the Cronkite sort of journalists??
Remember what happened to Carol Moseley Braun? Hell, she was FAR more qualified than Obama, with foreign affairs experience, too! How far did SHE get?? And I tell ya - I was in full agreement with a LOT of her policies. She was very clear that GLBT rights ARE Civil Rights (and Wes Clark concurred with her during a debate), for instance. But where is SHE now?? Yeah. And then there is Obama. It is CLEAR that, for whatever reason, he has some major backers that none of the other Dems seem to have had. Wassup with that??? Sheesh…
H&C started the show with the BO ad so I changed the channel.
My kids came in and wanted me to turn the channel to it. My oldest (almost 17) couldn’t get over how smooooooth he is. I told them I didn’t want anyone turning ANY TV’s to the OBAMA Channels because in case anyone was checking, I wanted to make sure that Obama didn’t get any satisfaction in thinking we were all listening.
Ewwwww! Yeah - he’s so smooth he should be president! Gack!
Two of my nieces went to two separate barky rallies back in the fall of 2007 - before most of us knew what a snake he is. The funny thing was, BOTH of them, independently, came back saying “I don’t trust him.”
Thought that was interesting - one of my nieces was 17 at the time, the other was 22.
Before they went to see 0bama I hadn’t told them about my first “experience” with 0bama - it was in the summer of 2007 - yearlykos in Chicago (I know, I know, I used to be one of THEM!). All 7 or 8 (or whatever) of the dem candidates were there (except Biden) and had a debate. We all got to pick one of the candidates to ask questions of in a small-group setting. My friend got to the front of the line before me and picked 0bama for both of us. I said “fine.” Then, about 2 minutes later I turned around and exchanged my 0bama ticket for Edwards. I told my friend, “There’s just something I don’t trust about 0bama.”
For some reason, it seems that if you aren’t susceptible to the hypnosis or whatever he does, you’re more likely to see 0bama for what he is - and questions of trust come up first, at least in my experience.
I never got over my first impression and I never warmed up to him. However, as I got to know Hillary she became my hero!
bio has John McCain on now BO next for an hour the 30 minute show on Palin then 30 for Biden.

Great!!
NO FREAKIN’ WAY InDEED!

I think the “magic spell” is being broken for a lot of people. It’s almost Halloween — time to take the mask off Obama!
I’m trying to get this out to everyone I can (my apologies if it has been posted here before). This commentary by Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr. (four degrees from Harvard, including a J.D.) is the most logical, comprehensive, and chilling I’ve read on the decision of Judge Surrick regarding the certificate of live birth issue. He outlines eight constitutional consequences of what would happen if Obama does not produce the requested evidence of his natural-born status, and it is not a pretty picture at all. For instance, if it is true that he is not a natural-born citizen, does not produce the evidence, and is elected on Nov. 4, Congress could pass no laws. Furthermore, Obama could not be impeached, since he was not legally the president. Armed forces would potentially have to arrest him, which could lead to civil war.
The easiest link to the article entitled “Obama Must Stand Up Now or Sit Down” by Dr. Vieira is at the following site:

Spread the information far and wide–it is that critical!
OT: Christopher Hitchens is a socialist?
Hitchens is a proud atheist and a proud alcoholic–he and Biden probably start early, they always act and sound as if they just came from cocktail hour.
my family kids and grandkids all Democrats voted for Mccain/Palin.Obama came to my grandsons place of work and they were allowed to go out and hear him speak.My grandson said very few went outside –they preferred to sit in their lunch room and relax.He told me tonight that there is Obama literature laying all over the building from the Teamsters.He says nobody talks about the election it can get too volatile.I told him that is the case in many families and workplaces.People have been so divided —never seen such hate and have voted since JFK.I am working in the election and plan on coming home and locking the doors,regardless how it turns out.
You know I am so pissed off. I heard this show someone told me about, Quinn and Rose out of PA. They have been all over Obama. They asked (once again), why the heck no one in the media said a word about Obama busloads of people cheating in Iowa! He went over Nevada, the lockouts, flushing of ballots, the thugs and their intimidation, the caucuses, everything… they lost it on the press. They noted that Hillary would be a million times better than Obama (mind you they’re conservative… I think, but they always said that, who couldn’t see it). If people can get out all the Iraq deals re: Rezmar (Rezko), Auchi (you will get a lawyer letter though, trust me I know), Alsammarae (which i’m sure Larry has the lowdown on him and Auchi re: Iraq pullout and Oil for Food/Elf Aquataine/Interpol). I don’t even know if that could seap into the mind control of Obama supporters. For goodness sakes, look at all the characters the media’s ignored, including dead boys and a live girl. Have you noticed the crickets of the anti-war movement as he’s escalated into i’m gonna surge/there will be a crisis Joe/don’t treat us like Bush/we’ll probably screw up movements? BTW, after 250K, 200K, Joe has gone down to 140K, it will be 40K getting taxed before long, trust me, I lived in his district. Trojan Horse.
Sure you heard about the disabled, poor aunt in Southie (Boston projects). Gee, I wonder if she was there when he went to Harvard?
C. Krauthammer is a great writer. Much better than most.
