National Review Online ^ | August 21, 2008 | Wynton C. Hall

Indeed, if public opinion is any indication, Democrats’ cause for concern may be worse than expected...

“The liberal elite that dominates America’s university campuses, some of Obama’s fiercest and most devoted supporters, would have to confront the realization that the Democratic party would likely never again nominate a candidate of Obama’s leftist bona fides.”

That would be one of the greatest benefits of a McCain win and it would be a sounding defeat for the likes of George Soros.

Wow! The entire article is a must read. We must defeat B. Hussein Obama on November 4.

It would help if the Senate Republicans in the gang of 10 apologized to the American people for their sleazy actions!

Wonder if Saxby and Lindsey are listening?

I posted this on a thread yesterday concerning the recent Battleground poll:

What's very interesting to me is that by about a 2:1 ratio the public feels (correctly) that the Democrats control the federal government. So that wrong track number of ~75% - that all the media types want to say is directed at the GOP - could provide a rude awakening for some Dems in November.

For folks who don't want to support McCain and/or the RNC/NRSC, I recommend you support individual conservative candidates with your time and/or money.

I hope Americans see the light. But this election will be another squeeker. There are a lot of newly registered, clueless voters who will vote for emotional, feel good symbolism. They have no long range visions, just like Obama.

My question is.....How is it that a gang of 10 can hold 300 million people hostage to their whims?

It don’t have to be that way. There is no sound reason why the gang can’t be disbanded if America is serious about solving problems.

Only if Obama loses badly. If there is another close election, they will keep trying.

If Obama actually does get the ‘RAT nomination - he WILL lose badly.

Obama is a God-send.

Many thought the same thing about North Vietnam's hero, John Kerry.

How do you figure that Soros loses this election when he owns both Obama and McCain?

Add to that the fact that the nation appears to be growing increasingly optimistic. Last week Gallup reported a huge surge in consumer optimism over gas prices — since July, the percentage of Americans who believed gas prices in their local area would increase by the end of the year has fallen from 87 to 40. Similarly, consumer confidence appears to be making a bit of a comeback, with numbers not this positive since February...

...But clearly American sentiments have begun to shift, and not in a direction favorable for Democrats.

Once again, what's good and positive for America and Americans, is bad for dhimmocraps. I can't imagine what it must be like to be so negative, to be so constantly gloomy, and to be hoping for the failure of my country and countrymen.

Man, liberals suck.

I agree—on both counts!

What do you think McCain’s chances are?

If they are clueless, though, do you think that will mean they might be less inclined to actually show up at the polls? I wonder.

If pot was ALREADY LEGAL, than many pot users may actually forget to show up at the polls during every election.
