What was his message that the idiot voters responded to? Most of them didn’t even know what he stood for; which was nothing.

That's correct. Obama ran a Seinfeld campaign: a show about nothing.

But what was the Republican campaign about? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?

For most of the political season, McCain sounded like he was running not for President of the United States but for Secretary of Bipartisan Solutions (or Secretary of B.S.). Now, my friends, in the interest of working together, I think we need to reach across the aisle...

But enough of that. Please. Obama's secret, other than being treated as the media's Lord and Savior, was that he was allowed to elevate Vagueness to an art form. The public responded not because they are too dumb to understand but because they were given nothing nourishing by which to contrast the unbearable lightness of being The One. If Obama was all sizzle and no steak, McCain was an overdone burger with a side of greasy fries. And the only real Filet Mignon in the race was a saucy lady from Alaska whose very rareness contrasted all too harshly with the less filling fare on the menu.

That, sir, is fantastic! You should be published!

We got Doled again. I think the Who wrote a song about it.

Someone up-thread suggested getting rid of all rinos and I agree.

Here's how you do it: Ask them about the second ammendment and how it applies to the 'average' citizen (by that I mean not the retard or violent felon). Any waffles and they're out. Sounds tough but it really isn't. This issue is THE cutting edge issue (with me anyway) and those that vacillate deserve no second chance (intended).

Dittoes on Sarah. A little polish on the issues (global frauding, etc.) and she's good to go, especially after four years of Obama with the accomodating windowlickers on the Right, which possibly includes Newt.
