Don't throw me into the brier patch! (Rick and Bubba show)

This morning either Rick or Bubba drew the analogy of this election and the Mainstream Media and Democrat's "fear of McCain" to Brer Rabbit. They said, if you are do some kind of "strategic voting" then you are falling for what the other side wants. Here is an excerpt from the Brer Rabbit story. Substitute McCain for the Brier patch, the Mainstream Media for the Rabbit and us Republican voters for the dumb Fox.

--------------------------------

Brer Rabbit's eyes got very large. "Oh please Brer Fox, whatever you do, please don't throw me into the briar patch."

"Maybe I should roast you over a fire and eat you," mused Brer Fox. "No, that's too much trouble. Maybe I'll hang you instead."

"Roast me! Hang me! Do whatever you please," said Brer Rabbit. "Only please, Brer Fox, please don't throw me into the briar patch."

"If I'm going to hang you, I'll need some string," said Brer Fox. "And I don't have any string handy. But the stream's not far away, so maybe I'll drown you instead."

"Drown me! Roast me! Hang me! Do whatever you please," said Brer Rabbit. "Only please, Brer Fox, please don't throw me into the briar patch."

"The briar patch, eh?" said Brer Fox. "What a wonderful idea! You'll be torn into little pieces!"

They went on to say if you are passionate for McCain, then vote for him, but if you think he is the only Republican that can defeat Hillary or Hussein Obama, then you are falling for the trick.

Younger generations don’t know who Brer Rabbit and brer fox are, because Disney has locked up the movie “Song of the South” for many years due to political correctness. The movie is too sentimental towards slavery, according to the poltically correct crowd.

Yes....
It's a shame too. I remember Song of the South and had a book of Uncle Remus stories.
Br'er Rabbit was a cunning little critter. Actually there were some pretty good lessons in those stories.
They're "folklore" for Pete sake.

Rick also said his Christianity prevents him from voting for a Mormon, even though the Mormons he knows are good, decent hardworking people. I found that disappointing.

I've noticed this myself. Democrat operatives, particularly in the talking-head circuit, uniformly say they fear McCain the most. Bob Beckel just repeated that line on Hannity and Colmes tonight.

It leads me to believe that Rick and Bubba are right. Hillary or Obama would eat McCain alive in a debate, especially on the economy, which they'll make sure is the number one issue. Iraq will be old news by November.

McCain can only answer economic questions with, "I was for the surge." and, "I was a leader in the Navy." so many times before it becomes clear to everyone that he has no plan.
