Scary times on 'the third rail'
Washington Times ^ | 9/19/2008 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 09/19/2008 6:28:59 AM PDT by IbJensen

It's a little early to play the race card, but the Obama partisans, if not Barack Obama himself, are scared. They don't know what else to do to get their expectations, so carefully nurtured over spring and summer, in line with reality. The mainstream media's ganging up on a pregnant 17-year-old girl didn't work. Neither did the candidate's calling her mother a pig. After Mr. Obama became the inevitable president, dispatching Hillary Clinton, the inevitable nominee, his cult thought it was going to be a downhill coast to a left turn into Pennsylvania Avenue. Alas, the slam dunk - the favorite metaphor of midsummer - now looks more like a lost ball. Suddenly it's all elbows and rim shots. The politics of hope has been reduced to the politics of merely hopeful. He sent his wife out yesterday to warn voters not to vote for someone just because she's "cute," and when that got a harsh look from one of her handlers she quickly added that she was talking about herself.

Mr. Obama told a rally in Las Vegas that his supporters have to "get in the faces of Republicans," presumably to say and do things "the transcendent One" never would.

That's a great idea, Barry.

How will your sycophants know which ones are the Republicans?

Oh, I know. The males will have shaved and the females will have bathed.

“He sent his wife out yesterday to warn voters not to vote for someone just because she’s “cute,” and when that got a harsh look from one of her handlers she quickly added that she was talking about herself.”

LOL...that is the laugh of the day! No one has ever accused Michelle of being “cute,” though the idea that this inelegant woman is another Jackie O is equally hilarious.

There is no reality [not even a drug-induced alternate one] in which this “clarification” could be even remotely deemed believable by anyone with functioning retinas.

Not even the evil “blackness of his soul”?

That’s in my top 5 and it has nothing to do with “race”.

People don’t vote because of what someone looks like—they vote based on whether the person is smart, whether the person can handle the economy, whether the person is hardworking, whether the person cares about the country, whether the person will stay on top of things.

From the article:

“Race, that’s the only reason people in the Valley won’t vote for him,” says state Rep. Thomas Letson, who thought he had a lock on re-election to the Ohio legislature and now thinks maybe he doesn’t. “There are a thousand reasons to vote for Obama and one reason why you won’t. Race.”

Oh yeah? How about three easy reasons not to vote vote him: Karl Marx, Saul Alinsky, and Bill “We didn’t bomb enough” Ayers.

“Useful Idiots”

Whoa! Wes. Isn't that the racist code-language Sebelius is talking about? (My RNC decoder ring sure comes in handy). /sarcasm

Is she that stupid or just another 'rat imprint-the-masses agitator?

They're both certifiable fools.

His Harvard education, as well as other major expenditures prior to his acceptance, has been paid by international muslim planners. The rails to the doors of Harvard were opened and the rails greased by another of these prominent muslim planners who are very close to the international socialist conspiracy.

The infamous Clinton duo had the same 'international' support for their entire adult life.

Anything and everything to whittle away at the United States and its Constitution.

I beg to differ. Look at the Obama fans for plenty of counterexamples.

And among the 300 reasons are his redness (commie), greenness (”no” to oil & coal & nuke) and yellowness (turn tail and run from global conflicts we need to win for national security). Who cares about his “blackness”?

What was he trying to hide?
7.) Associations
Rev Wright, Ft Flager, Ayers, Rezko, Davis, Michele etc.
8.) Senate voting record
That speaks for itself
9.) SCOTUS
Who would his choices be?
10.) Proven Liar
11.) Inexperience
