Not sure I agree as to the effect of the Dittoheads, but its an interesting theory, especially the idea that McCain wasn't ready for the general because of the free ride he got during and before the primaries.

No, it was the GOP with no plan beyond the WOT and spending money.

No. Obama beat hillary because the Dem players and money people evidently decided to back him instead of hillary, and the Dem base was never very enthusiastic about her.

But Obama won the election because McCain was a lousy candidate. For that, you can fault McCain, the RNC, the RINOs, and the abortion-loving big money country club donors who think that plenty of sex with no kids is more important than the welfare of our country.

You can fault Rush for allowing Fred Thompson to be polished off by the MSM and the RNC, but it’s a hard call. A lot more blame goes to the idiots at NRO and elsewhere who backed Mitt from the start because they thought he was the most “electable.” Those are the same effete idiots who thought Sarah Palin was too common and that Obama was cute.

Did Operation Chaos Elect Obama?

No.

The stinking liberal media elected Obama, just like they secured McCain's nomination for him through puff piece coverage. They knew the only way to get this done was to suppress conservative votes, and that's exactly what McCain's campaign did.

In a very bizarre primary Rush did a pretty good job of finding some course of action to take.

While it was thought that bringing down Hillary would give us victory, the economic collapse, 0s 750 million, and finding out that he was a deity among half the population and all of the media were things that could not be predicted by us, by Rush, or even by the Clintons who seem as baffled and surprised as we are.

In spite of all of that, in a couple of years we still may find that Obama is easier to dismantle than the third term of the Clintons would have been, but of course, who knows?

Here is a great way to continue Operation Chaos; call Blago's office and encourage Blago to stay and fight. If he resigns the investigation will go underground and Obama will escape unscathed. Lets keep this investigation in the public.

Call Blago and tell him to call their bluff

Ask any “man on the street” what Operation Chaos was. Ask any average dem, what Operation Chaos was.

The election of BHO showed me that the collective IQ of the American electorate is somewhere in the low 80s, i.e. functional retardation. They don’t drool (much) and don’t poop in their pants (too often) but they can be reliably depended upon to execute specific instructions, such as how to vote.

Obama won because the RNC interfered with the normal primary process and manipulated a weakwishywashy candidate into the “win” position.

If the RNC had allowed the people to choose the Republican Candidate, then the outcome may have been significantly different.

And here Duncan is trying to squish Palin well ahead of 2012 despite the fact that she is the clear frontrunner. Will they never learn???? Or are they Dem moles?

A lot of our dirty laundry was aired, and we had practice in testing a campaign...because we had been through 54 primaries and caucuses, and run the gauntlet. McCain hadn't done that."

None of Barack's dirty laundry was aired in the primary, and it was whitewashed in the general. It is true McCain got a pass in the primaries.

Never has the media done so much to (intentionally) reveal so little as in this past election season.

It wasn’t OUR Operation Chaos that got Obama elected. It was theirs in the financial sector.

REASON FOR LOOSING THE WHITEHOUSE
1. MC CAIN, RNC they should have had some fresh oppoents
2. Educated Rep.Voters, stayed home to show they are
tired of what the elected republican officials
are doing, or rather not doing
3. The economy- Bush tried to stimulate but people
can not buy cars without a stupid job. Can’t buy
anything withOout a job so give that $$$$$ to us and
then we’ll start buying and we’ll buy those
da*n stupid cars.
4. The lying press - building up the O to be the savior
he’s not.
5. Stupid uneducated racists voters. Won’t even discuss
them SOB’S
The only good thing in this race was PALIN....

Let’s face it, the Republican party had lost before it began.

I don’t think there would have been a need for an Operation Chaos if the GOP in each state closed their primaries—that, in part, is how McCain got the nomination.

I think McCain prevailed because conservatives could not unite behind a candidate. He won not so much because the base liked him as for lack of a better alternative. But he was doomed from the outset by the lack of enthusiasm for him and the fact that the vote at the end was a vote against his opponent and not for him. If it wasn't for Palin he would have lost by 30 points and no one on the Republican side would have come out to vote. I wouldn't have.
