There is NO question that the RNC should do this... but, will they have the cajones to do so?
They don’t need cojones.
He IS a liberal.
He IS out of touch with middle-class and working class American values.
It is all on record, some of it on video. All we need to do is keep passing it on. He is what he is.
Estrich smells defeat. This is strategist flop sweat. And Susan KNOWS flop sweat.
“The ammunition is there: the “most liberal voting record in the Senate,” according to one publication, even if it’s a brief one; the refusal to wear the flag pin on the basis of a principle most people would have trouble recognizing...”
“...not to mention the 21st century version of Willie Horton, and sorry, but yes, I do mean Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose rants are almost as scary to many people as Horton’s escapades while on furlough.”
Well, Susan, if it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck...
Let me go on the record here and state that Obama will lose the general election in a near landslide.
Is that water heavy Sue?
She's right.
He's McGovern.
obama is way to the left of what dukakis was in ‘88.
“...not to mention the 21st century version of Willie Horton, and sorry, but yes, I do mean Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose rants are almost as scary to many people as Horton’s escapades while on furlough.”
Maybe that’s because Horton’s actions are a manifestation of Wright’s words.
I like her use of the word “escapades” to describe Horton’s actions—he went to prison because he robbed a gas station, killed the 17 year old kid who was working there, and stuffed his body in a large trash can. (somehow I’m sure he committed other crimes,before and after this, as well-call it a hunch)On furlough, his “escapades” consisted of breaking in a house, knifing the husband, raping and beating the wife, looting and robbing the house, and driving off in the couples’ car, which he was caught in.
Willie Horton should, in a perfect world, been given a rope necktie hanging from a tall branch. Instead, the usual suspects use him as an example of conservatives being “judgmental” and bringing up things they’d prefer left not talked about.
If Susan feels sorry for Willie, maybe they could parole him and let him live with her-on second thought, even Willie Horton doesn’t deserve that.
So, Susan thinks Dukakis lost in 1988 because he wanted to play ‘clean’. Hmmm... in 2008, it is not Obama that needs that advice. It’s McCain...
There is no question that the Republicans will try to do to Obama what they did to Dukakis: shine the light of truth on him, give him a microphone, give a microphone to his nutcase wife!
They'll also do a constant replay of his "pastor's" "sermons", a continuous exposure of his Weather Underground comrades, and roar with laughter as the Democrats try to keep the skeletons from rattling out of his closet (the Clintons will be a valuable resource for seeing that they do).
If you don't think this nutcase is unelectable, Susan, you've got your head in the sand.
No paint needed here, Susan.
His promises and policy statements, which he will now try to soften, include...
Higher Taxes
A Naive Foreign Policy concept
Naive Economic Policy including rejecting NAFTA and acceptance of Marxist “Liberation Theology” as a prescription for economic equality.
Pro Abortion Policies Including Support for Partial-Birth Abortions and “Execution by Neglect” to Abortion Survivors
Expanded Gay Rights Including Support for Same-Sex Marriages and Open Gays in the Military
Increased Gun Control Policies and Laws Including Banning Handguns and All Semi-Automatics
Reduced Support for Israel
Open Borders and Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
Socialized Health Care
More Spending on Social Programs as payoffs for Democrat Party Supporters
Conversion of Social Security to an Income Redistribution Program
Appointment of Liberal Judges Interpreting Laws IAW Their Political/Social Views
Reduced Oversight of Cruption-Prone Unions
B Hussein Obama has shown himself to be a liberal out of touch with America, way to the left of even Hillary Clinton. All Republicans need to do is put his own words back to the public.
As for Dukakis,
his lesser-known opponent as an out of touch “liberal” who refused to salute the flag or admit his mistakes, not to mention his supposedly unpatriotic wife.
I think that's an accurate description if him.
From the mouth of none other than Paul Begala..”You can’t win the General Election with just African Americans and Geeks”. Watch for the breakdown of the West Virginia vote tomorrow night.
Whenever I read a column by Susan Estrich, I hear her voice in my head — scratchy and awful. She always reminds me of ‘Froggie’ from long ago.
Obamakakis?
