Best post I’ve read in a really long time.

Barack Hussein, if nothing else the greatest teacher ever of what not to do as President.

The setup where the hecklers at a McCain rally shouted racial slurs, and McCain then stumped for Obama, “my opponent is an honorable man, you have nothing to fear”, comes to mind.

I could never trust McCain, but I didn’t trust him in 2008; either. He’s not quite right.

This mea culpa by the media, “if only we'd dug a little deeper”, is pure baloney. The truth on Obama was out there for anyone to see who wanted to see the truth.

We must harass, harangue and bludgeon the media by all LEGAL means, including sponsor boycotts and Alinsky tactics until the same standards are universally applied. Most voters get their information from the MSM, like it or not. The future of our country is at stake.

Obama’s two years in the U.S. Senate are now universally seen as insufficient preparation.

DUH.

Media, spoken as if they have or will again have any honest and unbiased assessments is a myth. Virtually the entire media corps from local to national radio, TV and print media are liberal soldiers. They were trained by liberal soldiers - our college professors at liberal arts and IVY League colleges and universities.

To my mind, a journalist is probably one of the lowest form of life on this planet, right there with politicians and lawyers. It does not matter to them that they are constantly and continually ‘outed’ by the new truthtellers - the free internet - Media's objects of deceit are the ignorant mass of society's dilettantes and humanity's lowlifes - the subsistence leeches.

Agreed.

For the media to say “we were wrong, and we’ll get it right next time”, is a ruse.

Sad to say but in 10 possibly 20 years there will be another Carter/Clinton/Obama as President. Why should people learn a lesson when they have not any other time in recent history?
Yes, there will be a serge to the right (like there were Reagan Democrats) but a generation will pass and a new crop of indocrinated government school youth will be of voting age and it will start all over.
They will not give any credit to the Tea Party Movement or conservatism. In fact Obama may well be their hero and role model.
They will claim Obama’s big mistake was not going far enough.
Look how many on the left still worship FDR/Carter/Clinton.

"I fear there's a lot more of them than a lot of us here think..."

I've heard this phrase, which describes your concern:

"The people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living"

Which I thought was a VERY good summation.

[James Mott]

“Actually, he created the TEA party. The GOP was/is complicit in Obama’s actions and will suffer the same fate. The TEA party will replace the RINO party.”

I agree with you 100%. It can’t happen fast enough.
