Re: George Neumayr's Flip-Flapping:
It is very sad to think that any American would for even a
moment consider voting for this Flim-Flam man, let alone that this
political Mordecai Jones might triumph and occupy the Oval Office.
George C. Scott must be spinning in his grave. Ahmadinejad is right
-- get ready for a world without America. Iranian nukes not
required, however -- we will destroy ourselves.

The Boy President had triangulation. Now Obama wants to play "three
card Monte." Sadly, the American public is mostly playing
along.

This is the man terrorist-appeaser Bruce Bartlett thinks will make
a good President? Obamacons are unprincipled in claiming to be
conservatives while supporting the most left wing Presidential
candidate in U.S. history. One would like to blame it on their
naivete, but since they claim intellectual and moral superiority
over neo-cons, evangelicals and traditional conservatives they must
know the man they're backing -- a crass Democrat pol committed to
appeasing international despots, undermining national defense,
throttling free trade, raising taxes, socializing medicine,
increasing abortions, escalating government spending, expanding the
welfare state, and while limiting First and Second Amendment rights
for Americans ensuring them for terrorists and illegal aliens. All
this with an ego only Leni Riefenstahl could choreograph.

Would it be all right to call him an "Obamination"? His deliberate
and misleading flip-flops are making me dizzy.

Re: Jennifer Rubin's The Obama
Economy:
Ms. Rubin has an interesting analysis of what each candidate will need in order to topple the other. I am keeping a hard copy file of all, as they are all interesting and each has a different spin.
When I was a little girl our family followed horse racing. I could read a racing form and know what it meant. As a child I stood by, listening while my elders spoke with "touts," each describing what he knew about a given horse that "no one else knew." Weather and the condition of track was always a factor. Horses that were antsy in the starting gate were unpredictable. Some horses couldn't stand a rail position. I thought I knew as much as any racetrack tout -- and I probably did: zero.
However, Obama recalls a name to me that was never a winner. If a horse was said to have "early foot" that meant he was not a stretch runner, that he made a good show breaking out of the gate and when he saw a few horses coming up, he quit.
Let's hope that John McCain is a "mudder" because I imagine by September he will have plenty of Demo-mud to run in. A good mudder on a sloppy track can out-run a Derby winner, accustomed to dry track. They are all probably running on astro turf, these days, though and mud is not a factor. Which probably accounts for a lot of injuries, too.
My recollections are of quarter horse racing in Texas, Louisiana and Ruidoso Downs. In Louisiana, instead of "They're off!" the cajun announcer would shout "Ils sont partees!" (sp?) I loved that. I never saw a thoroughbred race (and I won't be seeing one in November!) until I moved to California where Del Mar was just down the road . That was probably the first time I ever saw a race that was not fixed, too. Louisiana was not known for keeping it the Sport of Kings.
Horse race or crap shoot, let's get it over with.

"How successful McCain is in bursting the bubble of the new and
improved Obama will, in large part, determine who wins the
election." Are you kidding? We'll be lucky if McCain doesn't vote
for Obama to show how fair-minded he is, and then get all
disappointed when that simple, barefoot Chicago politician doesn't
return the favor. Study up on your Marxist dialectic, folks, and
your Sharia law, too. It's gonna be a long four years. Maybe
more...

Obama is showing he is just another politician, trying to be all
things to all people. Like Bill Clinton before him, you won't know
what you're going to get until after January 20, 2009. He will
obviously disappoint many people, the question is who?
