“Somebody wake me from this nightmare.”

It sure as hell won’t be someone like ABC, CBS, or NBC /CNN that wakes you up....

And America may very well find out that you really do get what you voted for, in a very damning way.

No, it won’t be John McCain who defeats Barack Hussein Obama, that’s for d*mn sure.
If anybody is to take him down, it’s going to have to be us.

McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.

He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK- name names.

Email Republican headquarters/McCain.
FReep ‘EM OUT!
REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.
RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!

Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown, state your solution- and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!
FReep ‘EM!!!!

I’m with you on that brother. I can’t even sleep these days shuddering about what might happen to us in a few weeks. I need to spend some time with the Lord, or I’m gonna go crazy worrying about our country. I’m optimistic, but I’d be dishonest not to admit I’m really really scared.

I guess the answer will come up at the debate on the 15th or the day after. I'm going to presume that there will be a media blitz whether McCain pulls the trigger live or via ads. If this is true I think the thought is that while the debates give a solid audience to make points/appeals to for McCain, they also, obviously, do the same for Obama.

It would seem the last debate is the point to pull the trigger and let the howling of the press, nutroots etc. be answered via an ad blitz.

Obama has been spending like a drunken sailor on tv ads etc. and it has had some effect obviously (not including the free ads from the MSM) but the fact remains that McCain/Palin have been saving their ammunition for the last 20 days after the third debate on the 15th. Blitz with the positive but more importantly the questionable associations of Ayers, Wright, Rezko, New Party, ACORN, blank spaces in bio, under-$200 donations, Fannie Mae/Mac, Johnson, Raines etc. Don't be surprised if it becomes apparent that Obama has spent more on ads than he should have.

The left/Obama will bitch and moan about how negative McCain is being but the fact remains it will strike a huge note when people wonder about how some very detestable, shady, radical characters are just coming to the fore right at the time a huge amount of undecideds decide and hopefully some that have diecided change their minds. In turn they will also question how a "free press" decided to simply give a free pass.

Somebody wake me from this nightmare.

After going back and forth a few times, I am, alas, convinced this nightmare is going to be at least four years long.

I'm not in the mood for back-and-forthing on this. I understand mine is a minority opinion here. I get it. The election hasn't happened yet. I get it. The polls can't predict... I get it, okay?

But people around here seem to forget--because we have already pushed him aside as not part of this election--that George W. Bush is not loved in this country. He is so disliked that the party he is a part of is going to feel the wrath of voters. Obama keeps talking about "8 years of failed policies" because IT WORKS. It reopens that wound, and when we look for the source of that pain continuing, we see the guy with the R after his name.

The Americans who will vote for Obama don't care about the intricacies of porkbarrel this or Ayers that, or "My friends" or any number of things. And they don't think Sarah Palin is a genius and so incredibly awesome that they simply MUST vote for her. She isn't as popular as we seem to think she is.

Americans want CHANGE. They think the world is horrible, and they want to change things as much as they possibly can. They have been fed a steady diet of "The Rich" and "The Greedy" FROM BOTH CAMPAIGNS as well as the news media. The Republican party is still considered The Party of the Rich.

You can tell these people the mountain of facts behind this stunningly empty suit and THEY DO NOT CARE. They are like children holding their hands over their ears and humming and saying "I can't heeeeear yooooou!" Because they would have to listen to a lot of information, read boring articles. And all these voters want is to work their jobs, come home, and turn on the tube, and see their 401k is doing nicely.

Iraq isn't an issue that will decide this election. McCain can keep saying "He was wrong about Iraq!"--no one gives a damn because we were ALL wrong on Iraq--the WMDs weren't there (I know that's not the only reason we went there, but we let the news media MAKE that the only reason). So when Obama says "Iraq didn't cause 9-11," boom, that's the quick answer a frustrated, scared voter who wants the government to Make Things Better needs so he can repeat it when one of us gets into the complexities of life.

Obama's emptiness makes him the perfect candidate for our times because he's basically saying to the voter, "Imagine what you will--I have a pleasant smile, I'm not scary like that guy over there, I'm cool like the cliche of the suave black guy in a suit--look at him, cranky like your grandfather."

We seem to have forgotten that not all Americans are like us, and many Americans vote on what they WANT reality to be. They WANT Obama to be An Agent of Change because then they can feel SOMEthing will change (because things WILL change with him, good God they will). They WANT Obama to just be cool, because then they can claim to have done something GOOD themselves--I voted for a black guy, I've done something that will bring racial equality to our troubled nation!

I just don't see us waking from this nightmare early in November. I go to Realclear and I look at those polls, and I look at the news media reports, and I look at McCain's awful debate performances...and I just don't see a win.

I wish I did.

The only way Barack Obama will be elected President is for us to fail to tell enough voters.

The Post American World of Barack Obama

The Post American World, by Fareed Zakaria

...connecting the dots to show Barack Obama's long-standing,
continuously developing, anti-American alliances...

Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

Listen to this Interview of James Simpson, by Sandy Rios, Tuesday 9/30 - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL
From http://www.culturecampaign.com/culturecorner.aspx

Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.

"CHANGE"

Further corroboration on Obama & The Cloward-Piven Strategy:

Obama, Voter Fraud & Mortgage Meltdown, by James H. Walsh, former federal prosecutor.

On Barack Obama's Marxist connections in Chicago

Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of [Marxist] Socialist 'New Party' In 1996

On Alice Palmer, the South Side's Marxist State Senator, Who Hand Picked Barack Obama to Succeed Her

More on Obama's Marxist alliance with Radical Islamists:

Barack Obama campaigning with taxpayers' money for Raila Odinga, Marxist & pro-Islamist, despotic leader in Kenya

Barack Obama & Khalid Al-Mansour (old Black Panther comrade of Ayers & Dohrn and likely of Alice Palmer) who raised funds to get Obama into Harvard

And then there are... Herbert and Marion Sandler, the Pritzkers, and the "loose lips" of Charles Schumer and Harry Reid (and Henry Paulson is not above suspicion, with his control-freak power play and Goldman Sachs cronyism).

Get these breakthrough items out to everyone you know (or anything even more informative that comes up) -- voters, media, officials and staff of both parties, everyone. We have time if we act now.

The problem is “THE 60’s” have been so mythologized over the past decades by the left that for many many folks “60’s radical” is not a deal breaker. Of course this is a Stalinist airbrush of history but with an slumbering public and accomplice LSM it is working.

Our only hope is McCain directly confronts 0bama in the last debate. Ask O why he is allied for decades with a bomb throwing and 2001 flag standing terrorist. Then he must follow it up with a commercial blitz.

Nightmare, it is. On Sean Hannity’s radio show the other day, a gentleman called to say that Obama would not pass for a “top secret security clearance” because of his relationship with Ayers. I was stunned, but knew it was true. My hubby used to do the investigative work, during his days in the military, for such security clearances. I knew Obama wouldn't pass.

It is a frightening thought indeed that Obama, as President, would have immediate, unquestioned, access to our most secret secrets, yet on his own merit he would be ineligible for a top secret security clearance.

"Writing at National Review Online, Andrew C. McCarthy pegged the significance of the Obama-Ayers connection: "Yes, Ayers is blunter than Obama. As he so delicately told the Times, America makes him `want to puke.' The smoother Obama is content to say our society needs fundamental `change.' But what they're talking about," he wrote, referring to their complementary visions, "is not materially different. Such sentiments should make Obama unelectable." Actually, such sentiments should make Obama radioactive. But ours is a culture of relativism in which one "belief system" is considered as valid as any other. Democracy? Marxism? Whatever! Lawful elections? Bombing the Pentagon? What's the difference? "

The question to Obama really should be, not just why he associated with such radical loonies as Ayers and Wright, but why wasn't he appalled and disgusted by their anti-American radicalism, class and racial hatred?

There is an element of moral relativism and "ends justify the means" in his answers to questions about these. As if it doesn't really matter if someone bombed their own country or engaged in domestic terrorism, as long as it was a few decades ago. "You know, everybody makes mistakes when they're young." There is a pattern of excusing and downplaying Far Left anti-American radicalism as just another lifestyle choice. "I know lots of people," he told Bill O'Reilly. "Ho, hum..." It doesn't matter if someone said "God damn America" or belonged to a Marxist Socialist party or, you know, set off a few bombs when they were in college. This kind of lack of seriousness, lack of judgment and responsibility doesn't belong in the White House of the United States of America.

The idea that people need not be personally responsible for their actions, that it doesn't matter if they did or said terrible things, combined with a grandiose sense of entitlement, is a characteristic of some people who grew up without fathers in the house or who were pampered by a liberal social system and affirmative action in education which passes on this sense of entitlement without merit or responsibility. It's the sign of someone who doesn't respect authority. He sympathizes with the terrorist, the radical, and the anti-American race-baiting preacher because he shares some of their point of view. If pressed on Ayers, you could expect, "Well, you have to understand what the Weather Underground was up against in the 1960s and the Vietnam era, an evil white power structure of oppression and greed..." Wright's sermon on the "white man's greed" makes it into his autobiography Dreams from My Father and is clearly a driving force in his political vision and associations, from his membership in the socialist New Party, to the 20 years under Rev. Wright, to the Philadelphia Speech, to his planned tax policies.

His middle school and High School years in Hawaii were mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, a communist USA party member. No one seems to talk about that very important fact. Being mentored in his very formative and abandoned by his father years by a communist party leader makes it possible later in life to pal around with the likes of Ayers, Rezko, and (he is no reverend) Wright.
