Scary times on 'the third rail'

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.

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

Actually, I think it’s the other way around:

The males will have bathed and the females will have shaved!(and bathed) LOL!!

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”?

The half-baked, half-black is all red, green & yellow.

If Obama wants to make race an issue in this race, let him. Just get up out my face with it. ...What Obama should realize is that he wouldn’t be where he is now if not for his race. It took a black man to beat Hillary, someone with a PC trump card. It can be a good thing too, a step towards clearing the way for a black person who is actually qualified to be president, someone other than Obama. For the good of America though, we need to pull behind a great woman, Sarah.

I am simply stunned that this FREAK has made it this far.

Just....-stunned-.

[and I still believe in political “sleeper cells”]

I know, remarkable isn't it? Michelle, the angry, bitter, anti-American black woman, vs. Sarah Palin, a true American beauty. Michelle, the one with an under-bite that puts a bulldog to shame!

The fact that Mr. Letson has misjudged his own electorate so badly proves he is no paragon of judgment regarding constituents’ thoughts on Obama, be they “racial” thoughts or otherwise.

If LOOKS were the deciding factor, Mitt Romney would be our nominee.
If GENDER mattered, the zerO would’ve picked Hillary as VP.

If PRINCIPLE truly ruled, the Left would see the good of Sarah Palin.
