When Republicans get on their soapbox powered lawn mower and vomit out more lies they must think that where ever they are there is another dummy born just to listen to them. They sit on Capital Hill, in a Joe Scarborough highchair or eye to eye with the sub par pundits and explain that McCain is strong in this area and will beat Obama in that area while their president owns the toilet statistic of the new poll. Bush is at 25 percent approval. The country thinks that we're on the wrong track. And of course they want to divert our attention from the stumbling, bumbling McCain oratory we witnessed to pre-empt the historic moment of Barack Obama's speech as the presumptive nominee. Guess what Neo-Clowns... it didn't work. McCain looked as Green as the screen behind him. Some 17 thousand supporters and on-lookers in the Minnesota arena and some 15 thousand outside of the arena wiped away the handful of hangers-on at McCain's stomp. It didn't work in large part because McCain looks like the career politician whose been around too long. And it will not work for the long haul because everyone largely wants change. Republicans do not have an answer for Obama. "Obama will win in a landslide" of historic proportions, alluded one DU poster. I concur.
Why?
Those crowds Obama is getting aren't a mirage. More and more people will become curious about what Obama is cooking. Yes folks the smell of change, unity and hope is in the air and it is contagious. The crowds aren't going to disappear at all. Obama will get more help from his supporters, nation-wide. The media... the poor, poor media will be rendered helpless soon enough.
McCain is going to depress the Republican vote when the GE starts. McCain will cart out his GE campaign based solely on non-sense about Obama being inexperienced and rolling the dice. And McCain will lose to Obama on every important issue facing this country. That's right, McCain will lose because his campaign will be about how to rip Obama apart, challenging Obama's patriotism and religious affiliation through 527s but make no mistake about this they will be sanctioned and coordinated with the McCain camp. And while McCain still wants to do things the good ole fashioned way he will be outspent, out maneuvered in every state by Obama's grassroots machine that will more than double in size now that Clinton has conceded (Saturday hopefully). McCain will only see the top of the mountainous tidal wave coming before he and the stupidity known as the GOP party is wiped away. 2006 was nothing. If all the GOP can run on is lies and more lies then the votes against them will signal how fed up their constituency is.
Media pundits will have little effect this go round as well. We're starting to see pushback right now. They will foment this idea that the race is close, that Obama faces a war veteran that has experience and toughness to lead this country while creating a frenzy of excitement to boost ratings. And you will see the same Neo-con dummies that got us into this dumb war spew more garbage for consumption to push away truth about the war's start but then they will wake up and see that Democrats are smarter... that the Republicans disconnect with their own "disaffected Republicans" has grown wider and wiser to their common place gaffes, distortions and throw away lines. GOP talking points will look tired, outdated, unimaginative. Obama has already seized upon the talking points Republicans will use. At it's base, disaffected Republicans who understand these as lies will start to understand more about how their party operates and just like 2006 when Republicans turned Democrat you will see another surge toward the Democratic side come "Votin' Time". That the republican party has no real agenda to move the country forward other than to make rich people richer will be their undoing. Poor people don't like being poor. Poor people don't want to stay poor. In fact, many poor people want the opportunity to become rich! Obama represents their only chance of changing the trend of the last 8 years.
The vote has become a cause. Democrats have now started to insulate themselves against vote tampering, voter fraud... due in large part to how the Democratic primaries were handled. Ed Rendell said some telling things during the Pennsylvania primaries. Obama can win PA. Newsflash! Obama WILL win PA. Obama will win OH. Obama will win Wisconsin. Obama will win potentially any place where there exists a Democratic governor. The Republicans and their pundits are shaking... they are trying to influence the media to give them a premise to steal some elections. It's not gonna work well enough to eclipse the electoral path that the Obama camp has laid out to the presidency. The dumb, "he has a problem with the white working class vote" line of attack? It will not work this time. First, Obama has the best ground game the Republicans have ever seen. He will flood the voting places with his people who are well able to control the amount of voter fraud that may go on. Texas prima-caucus is a great example of how to tamp down election fraud. Obama's people will pull in Clinton's machine and the Obama and Clinton machine "together" is f*#King scary. With Clinton's surrogates on board and that includes, Corzine, Rendell, and Strickland, Obama is going to win in a route people haven't seen in decades. The pundit class of Neo-clowns is about to be booted from the air waves, folks.
It's still the Economy stupid, even if McCain and the Republicans want to make this about the war. The war is tied to the economy. McCain can scream about how solid he is on national security all he wants. It won't matter a lick. Everyone sees that McCain and Bush are one in the same on everything from the economy to healthcare to matters of war and peace. True change agents aren't of Washington. There is only one candidate in the race whose been in Washington for 26 years and is seen as a very dysfunctional candidate because of it. McCain doesn't understand the economic issues of average Americans, partly because he's attained so much wealth but partly because he's willing to change his leanings to suit his party; leanings that will not get him very far in a change election year. He is of his party through thick and thin and even as he looks in the eyes of the people he meets, he can't see that people aren't able to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps without a little help. Yes dammit! Some people need their prescriptions filled. The healthy walk as a prescription for some individuals just won't do, my Friend.
People want all the relief they can get after the last seven years, not "scare tactics", not "wedge issues", not more sound bites of the nuclear boogyman coming to rip away the next generation of sleeping children. People want to know how a president is gonna make their lives better at the pump... How they can get affordable healthcare, afford college tuition.
If indeed Bush lied us into this war (while taking his eye off of the real threat in Afghanistan) and we now know this to be true, what the F*%k are we still in Iraq for? The easy and slippery excuse is "our" dependence on oil. Yes folks, McCain will trot out the same old tired reasons for going into Iraq, for staying in Iraq... and they will amount to the same changing rationales for our pre-occupation with Iraq used by the Bush administration... McCain will chortle, "We must win, we will win". As if it was Iraq's fault we invaded a country on the premise of a lie. "It would be a mistake to get out now because the world is still not safe". Can you see these "pickled" lines working after Obama gets done explaining at one of those town hall debates McCain proposed that Iraq didn't have WMD, didn't attack us, that thousands have died because of one man? Can you see Obama asking McCain in the most respectful way possible, did Bush mislead us...? And further... Where are we going to continue to get the resources, both boots on the ground and money to continue this war...? And further, Obama will assert that life and liberty over there... is no substitute for life and liberty here and that the money we are spending over there can be better spent over here to keep us safe, to fix our problems. McCain will blink curiously, continuously then stammer. And the pundit class will not be able to save him. Not this time.
Not this time.
