Let’s start out with one point of madness and hypocrisy that the left is trying to put over with a straight face. We are being told, over and over again, that Sarah Palin, the governor of a state and commander-in-chief of its National Guard (the first line of defense against Russia and the former Soviet Union) does not have the experience needed to be vice president, in case she has to succeed John McCain, and yet, their candidate for PRESIDENT, Obama, has even less experience, and none in any executive capacity! I say “madness” because to keep saying this with a straight face denotes a kind of mental illness. Obama has memorized many policy positions and is a glib and convincing speaker, but would you hire this man for any conceivable position of responsibility? Absolutely not!
Here are some of the the smoking guns:

How many smoking guns can The One finesse? Don’t know, but amazingly so far, he’s handled all of them. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a pet media (to paraphrase Sarah) to smooth the path for him.
The human need to rationalize is right up their with the need to breathe and eat. Obama supporters believe it because they need to believe it.
As many as the media refuse to address.
#1 The American voters are mostly lazy to learn anything and unsophisticated.
#2 You have an unpopular war costing 10 billion a month spent on people who don't seem to appreciate all we are doing.
In addition, there is lots of oil money to help pay from some of these countries and they do not pay much of anything for their own cause that Americans hear about.
Yep, decades from now Bush on this war will probably be seen as great, but right now there is no love.
#3 Yes, we know Democrats caused this, but we have the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression probably and all most voters know is George Bush is President. They don't seem to much know or care about the fact that Democrats caused these institutions to fail.
Therefore the voters could possibly again hit Republicans over Bush having this on his watch (in the lazy voter's view)despite the meltdown being a Democrat production.
#4 People see their earnings, retirement, homes all go down and President Bush is the President and they want change of any kind.
That above to begin with are the reasons I see as Republicans having troubles getting elected anywhere despite all these being issues caused by Democrats.
Bottom line is the voters on a massive scale do NOT bother to keep up with the truth about what is happening and politics for the most part.
Example, Reagan towards the end of his term and all through the Bush #1 term that followed had bank failures attributed to the Reagan/Bush administrations despite the cause of the problems being from bills signed by Jimmy Carter just before leaving office.
The savings and loan crisis was caused by the Dems, yet the Dems ran against the S&L crisis as being Republican caused because of it being under Republican President despite the facts of the case.
True there was help from Perot, but the Dem caused crisis in the end helped elect BILL CLINTON the same way OBAMA is benefiting from a tough well fought war and the downturn in housing, the economy and so forth (even though problems in the whole thing are actually due to Democrats)
Perception over reality is the problem we have here because of mostly lazy and unsophisticated voters.
Add to that voters that rely on the state or feds for employment and you get a bunch of Democrat votes that shouldn't happen, but do.
That's about it.
Nothing is over, but that is how I see things happening.
The massive press cover up for Obama and campaigning for Democrats every election that adds up to billions in free advertising every election cycle is another factor in this as well.
With the help of his friends in the media, O doesn’t really have to finesse anything at all. Just keep on lying. He does it so well.
It’s easy when you lie and the msm swears to it.
Leftists view us as "infidels" in their church; infidels to be converted, or driven out and dominated or oppressed. Consider how the Left cannot tolerate dissent; though they have always claimed to be the champions of "free speech". What those on the Right say and write is "heresy" in the church of the Left.
Obama can finesse as many smoking guns as the MSM refuse to discuss.
The ONLY way this POS has "finessed" and vetted his way through a gauntlet that would have left any other candidate political road kill long ago is by virtue of the liberal MSM's treachery and treasonous armored "protection".
One other thing that's overlooked - George W. Bush's DoJ and FBI should have investigated 0bama's treasonous @ss years ago and vetted him...but for some reason allowed this anti-Christ monster to flourish.
OTOH, Sarah Palin's running an amber light or wearing rent-a-cloths is a "Smoking Gun" to the weaselly MSM.
Yours is an excellent explanation of Obama-mania. Those who believe in nothing wil believe in anything.
If by the Grace of God McCain wins we need to organize and take on the advertisers of the big three media. The gays did it to Dr. Laura. Why can’t we do it. That is our major problem. They pick our candidates for us.
I believe that because the liberals have been conditioned and taught to be perpetually angry, activist, and constantly railing to "change-the-world," it has been their mission to destroy the status quo. Taking over the media and academe was key.
Conservatives have always normally been more busy being "productive" within our families and lives and appreciating the fruits of our Republic instead.
IF we lose this election, I predict major activist blowback by conservatives and traditionalists.
