“The Next McGovern?”
The racist Obama may be even left of McGovern, but the country is considerably less sane (ie more Leftist) than it was in 1972.
After all, a supremely arrogant, openly traitorous,incredibly condescending candidate like Kerry came relatively close to being elected Commander in Chief.
There is definite danger out there. Unrelated Observation:
Just bought my first tank of gas for 4.01 $/gallon (San Jose) CA.
It doesn’t bother my wallet as much as it bothered my psyche.
Some people would be more pissed. You are right that today an Ultra Leftist has much better shot - especially since Republican party has lost all its credibility lately.
...”The racist Obama may be even left of McGovern, but the country is considerably less sane (ie more Leftist) than it was in 1972.”...
However, McGovern was a bona fide war hero, winning the DFC for his strategic bombing service over Europe in WWII. That alone makes it necessary to respect him, aside from his politics.
Obama on the other hand, is nothing - empty, vaporous - but potentially extremely dangerous to America in the Oval Office. In my view, he merits little respect given how the way was cleared for him as a sock puppet politically. He needs to be sent packing, preferably back to Chicago whence he came.
And even if he loses, Oprah’s Obama may have coattails to bring new Democrat socialists to House and Senate.
