“one would only have to remember that in 1996 Obama took the extraordinary step of suing to eliminate all his primary rivals by challenging their petition signatures of mostly African-American voters.”
Interesting.
One of President Bush’s biggest mistakes has been to NOT use the bully pulpit.
The MSM has been blowing smoke up Americas’ (and the worlds’) collective asses for the entire stretch of this administration.
If John McCain wins, he needs to have someone out there EVERY week refuting the lies told by the MSM. EVERY week!
He needs to use the bully pulpit. Go straight to the American people, eliminating the filter of the lying bastards that are our “free press”.
We need to work for school vouchers, cleaned election rolls, and FREE exchange of information. I’d throw in transparency in government if I thought we had a chance in hell.
If he has to veto something because Senator Bloviator added in 20 million in pork, get up and SAY, “Senator Bloviator wants to waste 20 million of YOUR tax dollars, so I vetoed this bill.” If he wants to pass something that doesn’t make sense to us, he needs to EXPLAIN it. Not just say, “we need this”.
I don’t remember the last time I was so angry about anything, as when we were told that 86% of us were against the bailout, but “they don’t understand it, so I’m voting for it.” What a collossal load of bullshit! And it turns out to have been exactly that.
We need clean elections. Not sure how to do this, all I can come up with is that if we have to expend tax dollars to do it, so be it. Each candidate gets X dollars on Y date. That’s ALL they get. NO fund raising. If your line is good enough, it’ll sell from within those X dollars.
I’ll be so glad when this crap election is over. I just hope my beloved country doesn’t die that night.
I’m praying that the majority of the American people will see through all the PROBama bullsh!t and vote for McCain.
God help us if we don’t!
Been happeining in Kali-Fornia for years.
One of the reasons that Kali-Fornia has a $7 Billion dollar budget deficit is that many high income earners and businesses have fled (and still are fleeing) the state.
Whatshisname became Governator and promised a business FRiendly environment — I don’t think he has been able to deliver. Sure glad I left in ‘95.
Wonder how the economy is in Nevada? Arizona? Oregon? Utah?
I’ve even heard of Kali-Fornians moving as far east as Arkansas.
Of course, I’m just observing this phenomenon FRom the First Coast, and I could be wrong — but I doubt it.
If Obama is elected, there will be a litmus test for the media. Only those members of the media who report favorably about his presidency will be permitted any access. They will have to cover for him or be stuck reporting day old news.
I was surprised myself (pleasantly) when I discovered the thread elevated to the higher level from the normal editorial. This is one of his best in the last month or so.
I happened to hear Michael Baisden's (liberal black talk radio host, for those of you not in MD) show recently, and of course he was praising 0bama to the skies. I don't think he's realized that his station would also be affected by the Fairness Doctrine. There's silver linings everywhere, if you just look, and imagining the look on his face when he gets HIS pink slip is an extra-shiny one.
If we leave the little green pieces of paper in our banks, or under our mattresses, they will be stolen by inflation. I'm buying durable goods, in large calibers.
I hope not too many of them are taking their rotten voting habits with them.

I think the ones that are leaving are conservative. The LIEberals will stay until their Golden Goose is cooked. Then they’ll see if they can steal another Golden Goose FRom us Real Americans.
I fear that is one of the reasons Colorado has gone from a reliably Republican state to a "swing" state --the influx of Kalifornians. That, plus the hundreds of thousands of illegal Mexicans that are sure to vote several times each thanks to ACORN. And the frosting on this little hell's cake is the enormous amounts of money pumped into the RAT 527 coffers here in Colorado by billionaire socialists like Jared Polis.
P.S. thanks again for McCain-Feingold, John.
