Mark Steyn: Obama makes Hillary look like Bill Richardson
OC Register ^ | 2.23.08 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 02/23/2008 6:34:32 AM PST by knews_hound

On the day that Margaret Thatcher was toppled by her own party, I ran into an old friend, a hard-core leftist playwright, Marxist to the core, who wasn't as happy as he should have been. He jabbed me in the chest. "You bastards on the right!" he fumed. "You wouldn't even let us be the ones to drive the stake through her heart."

I'm sure in America's Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy there are similar mixed feelings. The Clintons have met their Waterloo but it's not some doughty conservative warrior who gets to play Duke of Wellington, only some freshman pap peddler of liberal boilerplate whom no one had heard of the day before yesterday.

Such are the vicissitudes of politics. I see from the gay newspaper the Washington Blade that, as the headline writer put it, "Clinton Leads Among Gay Super Delegates." Only in the Democratic Party. I don't know how many supergays it takes to outvote the nonsuper primary and caucus voters from Maine to Nevada to Hawaii. They may yet pull Sen. Clinton's chestnuts out of the fire, but they're looking pretty charred and indigestible right now. Unlike the Fall of Thatcher, it's nothing so glamorous as an act of matricide, but just the nightly hell of a tired vaudeville act that can no longer find the spark.

Good quote. Obama is the product of the Democrat machine in Cook County, which has yet to produce an authentic messiah.

"Clinton Leads Among Gay Super Delegates."

I guess the gay super delegates are the fabulous delegates?

And the day will come when some will have wished Hillary had won.

Reading Obama’s positions, and looking at his voting record are enough to raise the hairs on my neck....and the sheeple have no clue as to what is coming.

It’s a sad day now........and will be so much greater after November.....but likely even much worse with Obama.

This is nonsense. It was clear from the liberal gushing in 2004 that Obama was going to run for President too.

Hillary has always looked like Bill Richardson. Except for the pasty complexion and blonde hair. Big gut, big butt, mono-brow, deer in the headlights stare. Put a pantsuit on Bill and blue jeans on Hill and Bubba would have real problems.

McCain was a useful idiot to Soros WRT campaign finance “reform”, but on most other issues, he is anathema to Soros.

Illegal aliens.
Gun control.
Global Warming.
KLA

Oh, that's right. McCain doesn't support legalizing weed.
