In a speech this afternoon in central Iowa, Barack Obama seems to have widened his criticism of the politics of the past to encompass not only Hillary Clinton but John Kerry and Nobel Laureate Al Gore.

Making an argument for his electability, Obama said, "I don't want to go into the next election starting off with half the country already not wanting to vote for Democrats -- we've done that in 2004, 2000."

Hussein is a slimy scumbag whose campaign theme is apparently:

"The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made."

Obama is going to win this unless something happens to him. I hate to talk like that but it is a history whether it be by some evil fate or some hidden malfeasance, those who stand in the Clinton’s way find themselves run down in the street. I pray for Obama and his family for Protection because they are going up against something that is not just political. Republicans are facing the same thing. Look at our front runners. We should remember even good men can be the pawns of the dark ruler of this world.

Vince Foster?

"I think there will be a fair number of "independants" that will vote for him just to feel "enlightened"."

True. I'm getting the distinct whiff of that from even the established middle.

If necessary, Hillary will dispense with Obama and the marks won’t be traceable to her.

Chelsea Clinton went to Iraq and met with some troops. She asked one soldier, “what troubles you the most?”
He replied, “Obama, Usama, and Yo Mamma”.

Obama is trying to give the sane 50% of the voters (if there are that many) the impression that he would be a conservative Democrat, when in fact he’s really a dangerous socialist.

Ooooh, the Artful Dodger... nicely played! This is crypto-racecard at its very finest.

Well, maybe some of the party, but not enough to count ~ outside the donations and the requests for appointments.

A winning combo might well consist of "The Huck" for Pres and Romney for VP.

Speaking of which I've been trying to dig up "The Huck's" family genealogy on the internet. Any Mormons out there can help me? Need to find out if "The Huck" has a connection to the COTFB.

Fred’s new 17 minute you-tube speech covers this much better than Obamarama does.........Fred builds on Zell Miller’s book........and makes a very good case.

This shows a better ability to analyze than Democrats (or just politicians) generally show. He’s certainly smarter than Gore, Kerry and Hillary.

While Obama has virtually no chance of becoming president this time around, this may indicate he’s capable of learning from the loss and coming back again in 4 or 8 or 20 years (he’s young enough to have that much time) and win.

It tells me he may not be a commie...which means he will probably not get anywhere near the WH even if people do like him.

"The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made."

That's a quote from Groucho Marx. Some more examples of "Marxism" (Groucho, not Carl) which apply to most of the candidates are:

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

Now there's a man with an open mind - you can feel the breeze from here.

Romney definitely for 19%
definitely against 47%
net rating -28%

Huckabee -13% and climbing.

Basically 28% of the Republican Party says they will not vote for Romney under any circumstances.

(Numbers from Rasmussen. 12/22 The negatives for both are climbing fast. If I recall correctly, Huckabee was a net positive two weeks before and Romney was only at -17)

All of which depends on how clean Rasmussen's data base is ~ are these Republicans that are KNOWN to be Republicans, or just some people selected at random who claim to be Republicans.

Definitely no way the RINOs and Countryclubbers are as much as 29% of the Republican electorate. Maybe 1%, 2% tops.
