Rush it’s time to adjust our strategy and back Obama
The Collins Report ^ | March 17, 2008 | John F. Allen

Posted on 03/17/2008 5:44:36 AM PDT by jmaroneps37

The Democrat’s Volvo is rolling over the cliff of phony liberal piety. Now the lies establishment liberals have told about themselves are open for the world to see. Their putative open mindedness, their affinity for the underdog and their willingness to personally sacrifice their own comfort for social progress is giving way to a no holds barred fight against “one of them.”

The “one of them” is Barack Hussein Obama, who is Black with a Muslim name and the most liberal senator in America.

The number of flaws Mr. Obama brings to his candidacy for President of the United States are such that if he was Barry Henry Oswald, White Presbyterian Minister’s son, he might not be a Senator, let alone a contender for the Democrat nomination. Nevertheless, the flaws are there and they are important and Senator Obama is about to win his party’s nomination.

Rush, your strategy has worked very well. There is now no doubt that Mrs. Clinton has been helped by your efforts, but any further work for her might be counter productive. She has been helped enough so she will be a player to the end. She is a Clinton so she will not follow Romney and leave for the good of her party. Accordingly, it is now time to start supporting Obama so we make sure he wins.

We no longer have to make believe that he would be the tougher opponent. Neither would be, but he is the weaker. The fate of the Democrats is sealed. Let’s help Obama nail this down. He will after all be Barack McGovern Obama when this is over. Now we should start working to get our side a huge win so we can change McCain for the better. Supporting Obama is the way to that landslide.

I don’t think McCain really wants Rush’s support. But McCain does want Conservatives’ vote.

The electorate is generally sour on Conservatism and Republicans.

(I always laugh whenever I hear a “Capital C Conservative” from some socialist swamp like Massachusetts declaring never to vote for McCain because he is not a real Conservative.)

Rush needs to craft his appeal to the common sense of Conservatives (those who still have any, those who are not deranged by their objections to McCain’s apostasies).

McCain is going to have to run against Bush, and to some degree, against his base. Conservatives need to realize that to further their cause, they will have to give McCain the latitude to do what is necessary.

This is a tough time for Conservatives. I hope enough of us have the common sense to realize that if we jump out of the frying pan, we will be in the fire.

A McCain presidency will bear an occasional Conservative fruit. An Obama or Clinton Presidency will be hostile, desolate, and barren.

Maybe the stubborn will starve themselves to death.

Hillary will win in PA.... predictions today are 20%

Which is why it's imperative that on the Wednesday following the primary, we need to be ready to loudly notice that white democrats will not vote for a black man. Black voters need to be made aware of the dispiriting reality of blindly supporting a party that reviles their existance. We need to separate the party from its most loyal (and blind) constituency.

Unless something seriously changes, the Democrats are in a huge bind in 2008. B. Hussein is definitely the weaker candidate, yet by convention time he will have the popular primary vote so it will not be easy for Hillary to steal the nomination. And, if B. Hussein somehow does not win the the nomination, then Hillary will unequivocally and irrevocably be skunked as the dark thief who stole the nomination. The Blacks may even take to the streets!

On the other hand, McCain is playing smart. He is looking very presidential against B. Huessein's youth and inexperience, not to mention his very real problems with his church and Rezko. In addition, a lot of lunch-bucket Democrats would never have voted for B. Hussein, and now the whole Jeremiah Wright scandal has totally sealed that outcome. As much as I detest the policies of John - "Who Stole the Strawberries" - McCain, I love my country more than I hate McCain.

Rush, your strategy has worked very well. There is now no doubt that Mrs. Clinton has been helped by your efforts, but any further work for her might be counter productive.

If it has not been for Rush and his cross-over encouragements, Clinton most probably would have had her candidacy end after OH and TX. Instead, she got revived.

Good strategy? Absolutely not. Now, she is again a contender, and chances are that she WILL get the Dem nomination. Obama hasn't had a good weekend, and you can bet the internal polling is showing him sinking faster than a rock.

Just as an example, recent polling for Arkansas (a red turned purple and possibly turning blue state) showed McCain (46%) beating Obama (36%). It also showed Clinton (51%) beating McCain (43%). An interesting side note: McCain is NOT polling a majority (50%) against either Dem contender.

No, even if she won every other remaining primary, Obama is still the one with the pocketful of rocks. She won't suddenly turn into the wondrous candidate. Her negatives are as strong as ever and she's shown even more clearly what a monster (to quote Obama's supporter) she is.

It would be impossible for any conservative to support McCain WITHOUT holding their nose......

McCain's win or loss depends on his VP pick.

If he goes moderate-liberal, the Dem wins.

If he goes moderate-right, he might eek out a win.

Exactly. McCain will have to carry on some of Bush's policies, and at the same time firmly establish his own agenda: not the easiest of tasks.

What we need is for McCain to introduce and push legislation closing the border, and declaring that no illegal in the US is entitled to any taxpayer benefit, and that no way ever will an illegal who is here now or has ever been documented to be here illegally be given citizenship. Then to top it off, all elections for federal office do not include non-citizens. (Congress has the right to controll their election procedures)

He must push it through the senate and tout it on the campaign trail. Then he might be believable. Until then it's all talk.

You can project all sorts of scenarios you like, but in reality, since when will the Blacks stay home, when the party (Hillary) platform is for free government health care, paid for by the evil rich? (Which is pretty much anyone making 50k per year.) Add to that, the idea that 99% of all blacks want us out of Iraq now. The Witch has promised that, as well as many other things that the blacks just love.

The Democrats do not care who is their candidate, just so they get what has been promised to them. They have beaten us at the polls by 3 to 1 and donations are even greater than that.

So, by gloating about how badly we WILL beat them is simply not a healthy way to approach the condition that the GOP is in by realistic terms. If anything, it is the GOP that should be deeply concerned about it’s own future, instead of obsessing about the temporary manipulation of it’s enemies. This whole endeavor is just plain childish and nothing food will come out of it.

I’m looking for McCain to win....
But I fear a Hill/Bill presidency. They have a vicious machine.

Obama as president has no machine. No way will he be allowed to govern as leftward as he is campaigning

Doesnt' matter how you cast your vote, the MSM and RNC win -- they knew they didn't have to put up a conservative. They are getting your vote with their candidate.

Why? Because they knew you had nowhere else to go -- you and all those other conservatives who won't vote for the Dem nominee and who won't bolt the party and who won't sit home.

And they will do it again, next time -- while you hold your nose again.

In fact, they might even start a new election gimmick --
Send the RNC a donation, and we'll even send you a clothes pin to use as you cast your vote for our candidate.

My vote will be a write in but if the democrat wins I guarantee it will be all my fault despite the fact that I’m not supporting either democrat.

Go figure.

I love Rush, but he is a bomb thrower and a divisive figure. Rush can help McCain by relentlessly mocking Obama and/or Hillary, and the media when it treats McCain unfairly. Rush will not actually help McCain by praising McCain’s mostly conservative record.

But hey, Rush, enough is enough. Let's kill Clinton Inc. permanently.

Too late for that.

Just like the MSM and the cross-overs gave McCain new life (and the GOP nomination), Clinton's candidacy got a reprieve in TX and OH.

The Wright controversy has done significant damage to the Obama campaign.

Yes Rush was responsible for a large number of cross over votes. So much so the DemocRATS here in Texas are talking about how many NEW democrats there are who voted in strongly Republican counties. The are even fooling themselves into believing these new Democrats will be voting for them in the fall election.

Amen.....Rush needs to push for Obama now. He’s finished but we need to finish off Hillary FIRST.
