The eggs are ready to hatch!

I am writing this post somewhat bewildered as I sit and watch Obama surging in the polls. I can't figure out how people can be so duped by this "empty suit". He has no executive experience and from the time that he was elected as a U.S. Senator until the time he started running for President was approximately 143 days. That's less than 6 months of experience in Washington, D.C. Now I'm not saying that you have to have Washington experience to qualify for election to the highest office in the land. On the contrary, I think the LESS "inside the Beltway" experience you have the better. However, in light of the fact that Obama has NO executive level experience to speak of it may have done him some good to get some Washington time under his belt. This argument however does not seem to phase the "disciples" and they are pressing ahead blindly ready to crown him just the same. It is interesting to note though that the same people are aghast at the utter lack (their opinion, not mine) of experience that Sarah Palin brings to the table to be...VP. I know, I don't get it either. Either they are seriously blinded by the "masterful oratory" of the Obamessiah or they are just plain stupid. You be the judge. In any event, Obama is surging in the polls and that is largely due to two key factors: the economy and the youth vote. Let's take these one at a time and see why each one is having the effect that it is.

First, the economy. The polls have moved in Obama's favor ever since the "crisis" hit Wall Street. That's because the public , or so the MSM would have you believe, blames the Republicans for this mess. Never mind the fact that there has been a Democratic Congress for the last two years that hasn't done a thing despite warnings from EVERYONE. Still, because the MSM says it's the Republicans fault, it is. The dirty little secret is that the Dem's knew this was coming, could have stopped it (since they now have the power) but chose to do nothing. Why? Because they knew that they could count on their buddies in the MSM to spin this to look like a Republican mess and in so doing win the White House for Obama and their party. Their goal is POWER and more of it. it's not enough that they have Congress now they want it all. They want to destroy the Republicans and see to it that they never have a chance to take away their power again. They convinced the voters in 2006 that the GOP had lost it's way, which it did, and the people chose to out them back in power. You wanted change? You got it. How do you feel about that change now? Go back and look at what the economy looked like before the 2006 election and what it looks like now. We got change alright and plenty of it. Now look where we are. The next time someone tells you that elections don't matter show them this as an example.

Now the second point: the youth vote. This year, more than ever the youth is energized to vote and a large majority of them plan to vote for Obama. Why? Well they can't tell you why but all of their friends are voting for him and he is the first African American to reach these heights so of course they are voting for him. The cult of personality of the Obamessiah has been completed. He is going to solve all of our problems and the Earth will start to cool and our enemies will bring us flowers and, and, and.... it makes sens though that the youth would like him because they don't understand what his message brings with it. They don't understand Socialism because they have never seen it before. They don't remember the fall of the Berlin Wall or the Cold War or Soviet aggression around the globe. You see, they have always been given whatever they wanted and have not had to work for it or earn it. If they need a car mom and dad will get that for them. If they need money mom and dad will get that for them. Need to come back home and live with us after college? No problem. They are used to getting what they want because parents became their friends and made sure they would have it. So when the Obamessiah comes along and tells them that they will get more money for college, free health care, etc they buy into it because they have seen this before and are familiar with it. What they don't realize is that what he is really proposing brings us one step closer to socialism than ever before. He wants the Federal Government to take care of you "from cradle to grave" so everyone will have the same things in life. These ideas have been seeping into our educational system by the same 60's radicals that now are teachers and professors of these kids and they have been warming these eggs for years. They new that if they kept them warm and cozy and made sure that the environment was just right, eventually they would hatch. Well, the eggs are ready and they are preparing to hatch. The scary thing is that when they do they will be more radical and socialistic in their thinking than at any time in history and they will be running this country.

Time to go Nuclear!

For the last 2 weeks I have been, like most of you, absolutely astonished at the treatment that Governor Sarah Palin has been receiving in the media and on the blogs. It is apparent now that she was a VERY wise choice for VP. In the 2 weeks since she was chosen I have watched the mainstream media, the leftist blogs and most of Hollywood lose their minds and slander this woman in any way they can. Some of the statements that have been made have shown the true nature of the dark underbelly of the Left in this country. They are terrified that "their messiah" has faltered and will now lose this election and with good reason. John McCain went from a 6 point deficit in the polls to a 5 point lead! That's 11 points in 2 weeks. He is clearly surging at the right time. People are now paying more attention to the race and they are tuning in more carefully to what each of these candidates intends to do in The White House. With that attention comes scrutiny and so far the American people are not convinced that Obama is the guy to lead this nation. Sure he still has the lead in the traditional "blue states" but even those are starting to come into play and before its all over this could result in a landslide victory for McCain/Palin. Don't forget that most of this will be over on election night BEFORE the mid-west and the west coast gets to vote at all. They will already have an idea by the time they go into the polls as to who is winning this thing and everyone likes to back a winner.

Since these attacks on Governor Palin have backfired and continue to do so I believe that things will soon get even uglier and before it's all said and done there may be a lawsuit involved. Sure, you can say things about your opponent that are slightly untrue in politics because that is the way that the game is played. I wish it wasn't but it is what it is. However, when you start to accuse, slander and frankly make up stuff that you KNOW is not true like some of the media and the lefty bloggers have done, you have then crossed the line. I personally see this getting much nastier and I think the end result will be a huge backlash from women and values voters in this country who are now more energized than at any other time in this race. Remember, it's only September and as of today there are 53 more days before Election Day. October and the inevitable "surprise" that comes with it is yet to come.

There are many things that can still affect the outcome of this race and they need to be considered. Things like: an Israeli attack on Iran, a Russian stalemate in Georgia, the death of a prominent politician/world leader, a resurgence of violence in Afghanistan or a terrorist attack. All of these things could alter the mood of the country and cause people to sway from one candidate to the next. However, I believe that the momentum is building on John McCain's side and that wave is starting to sweep across the country. There is only one more crucial event/events that will have an outcome on this race and that is the Presidential Debates. I'm not worried about the VP Debates because quite frankly they don't matter. Sure, they will be watched VERY closely this time around but in the end it will be the main Presidential Debates that will cause voters to choose one candidate over the other. Because John McCain is a skillful and experienced debater (that's what Senators do all day) I look for him to shine in this forum. That is also why I think the Dem's will decide to "go nuclear" now so that they can damage him and his running mate BEFORE the debates and therefore slow down the momentum. They know that John McCain will do well here so they need to make him look old, unprepared, like a Bush clone or out of touch with America. Look for the heat to get turned up on both McCain and Palin within all segments of the left in this country: MSM, Hollywood, lefty bloggers, etc. This will be an all out attack on all things Republican. They realize that if they can't win with someone who is so polished and "anointed" for this office than they can't win. My prediction: John McCain will win and it will be by 10% points. Then the fun begins as the left completely unravels in the face of a huge defeat. This could mark the end of the Democratic Party in America as we now know it. What will be birthed in its place will be something much, much worse.

Hell hath no fury....

So, the race for the Democratic Nomination is over. Barak Obama has received the majority of the pledged delegates. It would appear that Hillary's historic run for The Presidency is over. Or is it? As someone who has read and studied quite a bit about The Clinton's I'm not so sure this thing is settled. Sure, Barak has claimed the "presumptive" nomination and as of yesterday Hillary endorsed him, although half-heartedly, but I know these people and I'm not buying it. First, what good does it do for Hillary to endorse him and "work my hardest" to get him elected? Nothing! This party belongs to The Clinton's and they are not apt to just give it up so easily. They realize that if Barak Obama becomes President then the "Clinton Era" is over. They will be relegated to the dustbin of history forevermore and their power will be minute. If there is one thing that I have come to learn about The Clinton's it's this: they crave power. They NEED it like a junkie needs a "fix". These people don't do anything or say anything unless it has been tested somewhere and "focus grouped". Without Hillary as President they will be minimized within the Democratic Party and that is just something they can't live with. So, what then is the endgame here? I have been thinking about this for a while and I think I have come up with some plausible strategies.

The VP: Hillary is going to be a strong candidate for the VP slot after winning as many delegates as she did and the popular vote. If it's one thing the Dem's love to champion it's the popular vote. Don't get me wrong though; I don't think she WANTS the VP slot but she will lobby for it. She has put Barak Obama in a tough place here. If he picks her she will be a thorn in his side for the duration of his presidency. If she doesn't then she will be outraged as well as her supporters and that could cost him the election. This position also allows her to sabotage his campaign while all the while appearing to be fighting to get him elected. There are MANY skeletons in her closet and Bill's and they might be willing to open the closet to give us all a peek i the hopes that the scandal would torpedo Obama. Don't think they won't do it.

Senate Majority Leader: Hillary is now going to be very popular in the Senate. With Ted Kennedy fighting for his life she will recognize her opportunity to ascend to the throne of leadership in the Senate and will in effect have MORE power than The President himself. If Obama is elected then she will relish the fact that she can (and will) thwart any legislation that she does not approve of and also push through any legislation that SHE wants. She will also relish the fact that as the most powerful senator, Obama will have to reach out to her to get anything done. This could be once again cause for major agony in The White House.

Supreme Court Justice: This could very well be the one area that Hillary could do the MOST damage if given the chance. She would see this position as the culmination of a life spent "fighting for the little guy". Even though she probably doesn't know any personally. She could wreak havoc with such issues as gay marriage, abortion, first amendment issues just to name a few. This would satisfy her though since she would never again have to run for office due to the life term of the Justices. However, I'm not sure this would be public enough for her. Hillary likes the media and the attention and she feeds off of it. Her and bill like to play the "rockstar" in America and they love to be in the limelight. Although this position would allow her to accomplish many things that she could not do in the Senate, I just don't see her accepting this with much enthusiasm.

So there you have it. I don't really believe that there are any other posts within the government that Hillary would accept without much protest. She is NOT Secretary of State material and she would not want to be part of the Obama Cabinet. Make no mistake, this is NOT over yet. you can be sure that she has her minions scouring the trash bins and closets in every nook and cranny in America looking for some garbage that she can hang on Obama. so far though he seems impervious and the media could care less. They have their man. I would just caution the Obama's about one thing: those that lock horns with The Clinton's have a tendency to regret it. Actually, they have a tendency to have "accidents" and wind up dead. Remember Vince Foster and Ron Brown? Obama better keep one eye on what he is doing and the other on what The Clinton's are doing because they WILL find a way to stop this train. When and where remains to be seen but the signpost ahead reads: Danger Ahead! That's good advice Mr Obama, very good advice.

A House Divided

Don't look now but there is a major earthquake coming and it will take place right here in America. Am I talking about a seismic shift of land masses that will cause major destruction? No. This will be similar but it will take place in the world of Presidential Politics. You see the earthquake that's coming is the split within the Democratic Party. The cracks are visible now but the fissures are beginning to widen and once Obama gets the party nomination those cracks will explode. This fight between Obama and Clinton has become so nasty that the sides have become absolutely polarized. In other words Clinton's supporters don't like Obama's and the feeling is mutual. What I find interesting is the fact that the whole race is starting to divide along racial lines. But wait a minute, isn't this the Democratic Party? Aren't they the ones that preach that they are the MOST INCLUSIVE political party out there? Certainly they wouldn't let the race for their Nominee become a race about....RACE...would they? Take a closer look at the exit polls and the demographic analysis from the primaries. Clinton gains most of her support from the elderly, women and from WHITE people. Obama virtually has a lock on the African-American voting bloc and he also pulls the youth/college age kids as well. I think that this fight will go on for a few more weeks before someone is actually NAMED the nominee but look for the support for that person to fall away in the General Election in the Fall. In poll after poll Clinton supporters have vowed they would not vote for Obama and vice-versa. Simmering below the surface is an outright distrust and hatred for the other side and they are so polarized now that I cannot see them coming together in time to challenge McCain. The MOST interesting part to me though is the fact that despite all of the so-called inclusion that the Democratic Party claims exists within their party the reality is they are split along RACIAL lines.
