Barack -- O Buggered?
Obama was hammered last night. They chipped away at him from all sides. This was a concerted pro-Hil-liar event. But will it really have any effect on the primary?
I don't think so. In PA, maybe, given the older rust-belt population and small minority groups present. Face it: in primaries Blacks and Hispanics don't really turn out to vote in the numbers that it would take to upset the White vote. The White vote might be the geriatric vote, but it is still Hil-liar's. The students and the liberal elite that were going to vote for Obama will vote continue to vote for Obama and the codgers with a union pension for Hil-liar. Small swing if any.
So, assuming that not enough damage was done to Obama -- and why should it have been -- the race is still very damn close. Anywhere nearer than a 10% victory by Hil-liar, an Obama pretty much seals his majority of the voted delegates. I say "why should it have been" because for the committed Obama liberal the allegations of patriotism are irrelevant -- those voters would fail that test too. Jeremiah Wright ... well the ultra liberals fairly applauded the God Damn America notion. They agree with him. They hate us and themselves, so Wright may have a point. And the Liberal Elite agree that STA hang on to guns and religion. That Obama said it is just Blue State America finally making their manifesto clear. Hil-liar agrees with Obama, but won't say it. Democrats do not get more Elite than Hil-liar: the ultimate insider. But there will be a price to pay.
So ... Obama it will be, most likely. And precisely those points that Hil-liar hammered away at will be the ones that sink Obama come the General Election. You see, only a small percentage of eligible voters participate in primaries -- the politically motivated. That is, the people who consider that political distinctions matter a damn. The reality is that the vast unwashed American people don't really give a damn about politics as politics.
Instead, they care about American values, national pride, baseball and footbal, money in their pockets and their own security. Fundamentally, they could care less about what German Green Party politicians think about them. They don't like poverty in the U.S., but hate the idea of someone in Washington picking their pockets even more: they want responsibility to be the watchword for social programs, not larger government encouraging more illegal immigrants, more welfare, more waste. And they WILL vote on those issues come November. And the Democrats come out on the wrong side of that equation, by any measure and any poll. Tell me that Joe-six-pack blue collar union worker wants illegal immigration. He'd chip in for the fence and if an ex-military aviator, volunteer to fly the plane to bring them back home.
Whereas some Democrats might swing-vote Republican, Republicans will NOT vote for either democrat in this race, particularly after the debates that are to come. Obama's continued support of his racist minister will NOT fly in Des Moines. His surrender-monkey (French) attitude towards Iraq will not work either. Obama's Elite attitude about STA (small town America) will ensure a heavy Republican turnout/participation as voters, and a Red State resurgence.
Obama may have sunk his ship ... had he moved away from this radical stances, his support of racism, his support for illegal immigration, his dogged insistence on getting out of Iraq, irrespective of consequences, meeting with terrorist leaders ... then he might have had a chance. A good chance. Probably have won. But the tape is out there ... the smoking elitist gun. Howard Dean's shriek revisited. You have got to believe that those comments will provoke the blue collar Democrat-unionist faithful to vote for McCain -- because McCain IS a patriot, a hero and represents what those union rust-belt men and women want in their President.
But what if Hil-liar gets the nod, squeaks by, dealing in the back room for delegates? The Republican faithful hate her in a way that will again ensure near 100% voter participation. And the bitter Obama supporters may just be unable to pull the lever for Hil-liar. "She should have pulled out a month ago." They will not forget this. They will not forget the attempted political lynching of Obama by Hil-liar and her media stooges. I would have said that Hil-liar had a better chance against McCain after Obama's blunders -- but her dowfall might just have been her handling of Obama: she is just so desperate to do anything to win. Anything. And Americans don't like that: there is a limit, an unseen and unwritten code ... and Hil-liar will never be able to see or appreciate it. She is too elitist, ambitious and self absorbed.
Hmmm.
