Category: 2008 Election

Or he’ll whup ya.

They think the next election will be a blowout for Obama, and that America is a force for evil.  I wonder if anyone sought out the opinion of european jews for that poll, well, at least the ones that europeans didn’t kill or drive off the continent.  There’s plenty of evil to go around in this world, and Europe sure as hell isn’t exempt, and damn sure doesn’t get to look down on us.

She’s Governor of Alaska, and pretty young, compared to McCain.  But then again, that’s not saying much.  Still, I think it would be a good choice for him.

Clinton is going to bow out.  Somehow I think she must have gotten something out of this, since Clintons don’t quit.  I’m hearing rumors that Ed Rendell is on Obama’s consideration list for his Vice Presidential pick.  As much as I’d like to see Ed out of Pennsylvania, I don’t want that to be because he goes to DC in a Barack Obama administration.  Obama must lose.  I don’t care how bad McCain is, can America really afford to elect an unrepetent socialist?

And let’s not forget where he stands on gun control.

From Michelle Obama:

“The way this campaign has been run is the way we need to be forever.  Don’t trust bloggers or someone else’s opinion, because people lie.”

Well, I definitely don’t trust you, Michelle.  You want my pie.

Apparently the reason Hillary was crying is because she felt entitled because she’s white.

I actually agree with him that Hillary feels she’s entitled, but I think she feels that way because she’s Hillary.  I couldn’t give a flying fossilized pterodactyl turd that Barack Strawberry Shortcake Obama is a black guy and Hillary is a white woman.  I’m not voting for him because his policies would be bad for the country, and because I don’t want to elect a president who’s spiritual mentors continue to fan the flames of racial division.  America has had enough of that.

Rachel Lucas demonstrates how to refine the rant into a fine art:

Finally, regarding principles. I understand that some of you will not vote for McCain because of your principles, and I do not question your principles. I disagree with your conclusions about what will follow your application of them.

Rachel has been voting for as long as I have, since George H.W. Bush, and feels the same about her choices since then as I do.  Maybe I feel that way because I never got to vote for Reagan, but then again, I don’t think I really liked Reagan all that much either.

I have to say, I think this is poetic justice, but I agree with Greg that the party is pretty much free to ignore primary results if they so wish.  The primary system was one of those progressive reforms to take the power of nominating candidates out of the proverbial smoke filled rooms filled with party bosses, but the party is still a non-governmental entity, and is free to choose to punish state delegations that don’t follow the rules.

We live in a society where both parties, but Democrats in particular, hold up democratic rule as our greatest aspiration.  To quote Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor, “The chickens are coming home to roost.”
