Honey, you need a good laxative because you are full of crap.

You didn’t make it past 5th grade, did you?

XXOO

I guess the leftists have run out of LIVING foreign leaders that they can claim hate America, so they’ve moved onto the dead ones. Well, Good Riddance, your timing is perfect because I just had a seance with Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin and they asked me to tell you and the rest of the Democrats that you’re doing a fantastic job and to keep up the good work! Oh, and before I forget, Stalin was bugging me about getting an Obama ‘08 coffee mug for him–do you think you could make that happen? Thanks.

Ghandi would have been ashamed of what has happened.

Folks orgasming and fainting before a Daley-ite empty suit who promises to destroy our greatness and livelihood? I suspect you’re right.

But nothing can make a person see what they don’t want to. Especially not with people who live by their emotions and illusions of the wonderful things that Big Brother (government) is going to make happen for them. Take the Clinton supporters. For some, it took until this year (2008) to finally see that he is an empty liar, she is a corrupt shrew, etc… things that were proven by, oh, 1998 if not much sooner. Some still haven’t seen it.

First it is ridiculed. Second it is fiercely and violently opposed. Third, it is defended as self-evident,

As Gandhi said, first they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Now the progressive proletariat will follow the lead and claim they were for it all along, or at least they were for it before they were against it.

As many others have said: Every new truth passes through three phases: First it is ridiculed. Second it is fiercely and violently opposed. Third, it is defended as self-evident, i.e., as something so obvious that everybody always believed it and you’re still a freaking idiot for pointing out something so obvious.

“What I said even at the time of the debate of the surge was that when you put 30,000 American troops on the ground, of course it’s going to have an impact. There’s no doubt about that.”

Yeah… he explicitly said that the surge’s impact would be to make things worse.

So let’s see. Obama wants to simultaneously (1) downplay-if-not-deny the surge’s success, (2) praise our troops for how important they have been to the surge’s success, (3) ascribe the surge’s success to other factors having nothing to do with the troops or U.S. policy, and (4) take credit for the surge, claiming he was one of those who predicted its success (or “impact”). What a mess he’s in! And I think it goes to the “competence” issue I mention above.

If Steele’s analysis is correct: An Obama Presidency would be a great step forward for American race relations / culture… provided he is competent, or not going to be a failure. And this election is Obama’s to win… provided he can convince the American people he is competent. Steele takes no position on where Obama is with those two provisos, except to note that Obama seems to have a violent aversion to political / ideological principle. (IMHO, making Obama far more of a Clinton than a Reagan.)

Nice try, Axelrod. It won’t work.
