0bamaesque mythology

Not sure what you mean.

What I mean is Sarah Palin is mediocre at best. She is a complete invention of the Right, just as 0bama is an invention of the Left.

Palin’s support comes from desperation and a real shortness of vision. The GOP has always been the “who’s next in line” party, and as the defeated VP candidate on John McCain’s defeated presidential ticket, the mind numbed lemmings are gravitating to her, since they believe she is “next in line.”

She already lost against 0bama last year, and she will lose any rematch, too.

Some people in certain quarters of the conservative movement are trying very hard to invent a mythology around Palin. But just like 0bama, her accomplishments are few and insignificant. But unlike 0bama, she can’t even speak intelligently. Are we so abused from the Bush years that many of us have now convinced themselves that an inability to communicate effectively or coherently is actually a sign of leadership? Have we actually brainwashed ourselves from the years of excuses we made for Bush? “Bush/Palin can’t form a complete sentence, which proves they’re real people!”

Half the heartburn of the past 8 years we experienced was unnecessary and brought on solely by Bush’s public image as a dolt. That held back everything we wanted to accomplish as conservatives, and the only way Bush could get anyone to go along with him was when he was the one going along with him. The Ted Kennedy education bill vs. The Social Security reform failure. Bush’s domestic policy ‘victories’ were Phyric. He only won when he was advancing the Left’s agenda. The reason was because his inarticulation made it impossible for him to bring anyone over to his side that wasn’t already there.

We can do better than that. I don’t know who it is quite yet, we’ve got 3 years to figure it out, but that person is out there. Let’s not forfeit 2012 to 0bama because we’re too stubborn to admit that John McCain made a bad choice for his running mate. It’s time for us to admit that maybe John McCain doesn’t have the best judgement after all.
