Origami Election Headquarters ‘08 - Left Side is Sad
Hello everyone,
I’m back to make a few quick points in regards to the arrival of Sarah Palin in the mix. First, I reiterate that I know McCain has made a good choice. Second, the Dems are all upset and whining about the Mickster outsmarting them and making this an actual battle for the White House.
We all know the left side has been pissed for the last eight years and want that prized piece of real estate back. So with the arrival of the One, all on the left have ignored his mistakes, poor judgement, character flaws and lack of real experience and rode the Obama train right to the first station.
On charisma alone the Democrats were going to have the White House again.
Not so fast! Sadly for the left, they’ve just learned that that train is behind schedule, will delay the next leg of the trip and McCain’s caboose has just flown past on the second rail. Obama was in trouble long before this moment and it’s dawning on the Democrats now…
Case in point to the blind ignorance:
Every scandal that hit Obama’s way this year has been ignored, white-washed or plain dismissed. Rev. Wright, Obama’s senate track record, his electoral history which saw him forcing rivals out of the race against him, being an outright racist (he dissed his own grandma) and elitist, having a mentor who’s a socialist drug user…
John Edward’s cheating on his cancer-stricken wife was untouched by the legitimate press for a month (a month!) since the residual Obama effect shielded him. Edwards was making a mighty good VP prospect. Only until after the National Enquirer beat them all to print and threatened to make the liberal media look really bad, did the Dems give the okay signal to CNN and throw Edwards under the nearest donkey.
Obama refused to give the dragon lady the VP slot, since he probably thought the “bitch woman” was going to upstage him, should not be in the White house to begin with and dared to challenge his virility. And that costly mistake will be his biggest regret for the next 4 years.
Now here we are…
Ever since it was announced yesterday that Palin is on the McCain ticket, the left have been going after her with unabashed rancor. It’s funny to watch them squirm and huff.
When Biden was announced, the McCain campaign rightly pointed out that all of Obama’s weaknesses were only heightened by this match up. They fired a salvo that was a direct hit. When it’s their turn what does the Obama campaign do?
Well they point out Obama’s Palin’s lack of foreign experience and how she’s gonna be one heartbeat away from the most powerful job in the world. Obama will be in that position on the first day, that’s far worse.
These analysts and pundits and TV heads seem oblivious to the cunning of the Mickster. For the left to attack her, they have to attack Obama. Palin has become untouchable, she’s the acid-spewing Alien who takes its enemies with it and Sigourney Weaver ain’t around to save Obama’s ass.
Paul Begala, a Democratic strategist and CNN political contributor, claims that McCain’s mind must be checked since Palin is unqualified to be President. She’s only been governor of small state Alaska. In his little article, he points out all the people whom McCain should have picked. Doesn’t make much of a case beyond that.
What Paulie is really worried about; With the radio talk shows pounding endlessly at Obama and his numbers in the polls dropping, he’s no longer a sure thing. The White House is slipping through their fingers, Obama is in trouble and McCain has fired a larger salvo and it was a direct hit.
In response to that, the Obama campaign stated about his running mate; “the thinnest foreign policy experience in history” who is “currently under investigation in her own state.” Yeah, I know that makes it sound like she’s corrupt or something. The story (I’m not deciding if she’s innocent or guilty) as it is;
On July 11, 2008, Palin dismissed Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan for not adequately filling state trooper vacancies, and because he “did not turn out to be a team player on budgeting issues.” She instead offered him a position as executive director of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, which he turned down.
Her power to fire him is not in dispute, but Monegan alleged that his dismissal may have been an abuse of power tied to his reluctance to fire Palin’s former brother-in-law, Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten, who had been involved in a divorce and child custody battle with Palin’s sister, Molly McCann.
Palin is currently being investigated by an independent investigator hired by the Alaska Legislature to determine whether she abused her power when she fired Monegan. Palin has admitted that her staff had made at least 25 contacts with public safety officials about firing her sister’s ex-husband, including one where an employee claimed to speak for her although she has stated that he acted without her permission or knowledge.
This entry comes Wikipedia for the record.
Charles Schumer made his own doomsday statement; “A fine person, her lack of experience makes the thought of her assuming the presidency troubling.”
The Dems are so stupid that they don’t know if they open the pandora’s experience box, it only undercuts the Obama Effect. The left say that by selecting her McCain will not be able to use the experience issue against Obama, but who cares. That wasn’t enough ammunition, and so McCain is side-stepping an issue that the left are now raising themselves to the detriment of their own man.
McCain is instead going after those women and the Roman Catholics of the battleground states who may have voted for Obama and will take another look at Palin’s anti-abortion stance, feeling a connection to the Catholic woman who’s now on the ticket. One brilliant mind on TV (I’ve already forgotten who it is) made the obvious statement that Hillary supporters will not rush to vote for a woman, simply because she’s a woman.
Duh! McCain ain’t after them all, only the ones who were looking to vote a woman into the White House for substitive values. Not hard core Dems, but the on-the-fence crowd who’d simply vote for a woman because they believe it’s high time or they share similar ideals.
A similar argument was made by Clinton’s team, when they touted that she won New York and California in the primary, not her opponent. It didn’t matter, Obama still won and those two states aren’t suddenly going to go red because Obama is the candidate.
Ah well, maybe the left can get Michael Moore do one of his fictionalized propaganda pieces, uh I mean unbiased documentaries about how McCain stole the 2008 election.
I bid adieu,
