When comparing and contrasting the two parties:

I’d rather vote for the one that is not involved in intimidation and harassment.*

I’d rather vote for the one that has maintained a more civil discourse.

I’d rather vote for the one that knows that it is improper to hang in effigy a candidate from the other side (not one where its members are proud of that action).

I’d rather vote for the one that did not try to divide the nation by race with false allegations of racism (playing the pre-emptive race card).

I’d rather vote for the one in which the candidate is a hero, not a coward.

John McCain could not have won without her.  She energized the base and gave them the energy to show up despite all the predictions of a landslide.  She pulled in those honest Hillary voters who were angry over the sexism aimed at her.

Governor Palin’s appearances on SNL helped to humanize the ticket; they were in danger of becoming only a caricature of themselves.

Her attacks on Obama/Biden were the only real criticism that received any coverage in the MSM. 

Her personal warmth and touching story softened the image of conservatism without diminishing any of its ideals.

She has recreated the feminist ideal for a new generation of women by redefining it away from the culture of abortion as God.

This is sad; this poor bull will die if Obama wins.  The first victim of an Obama Presidency.

Does it make anyone nervous that Farrakhan’s Fruit of Islam security force may have inspired Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force?”  Watch the youtube video and listen to what he is saying and read about the Fruit in Ayers book.  It is scary.

On page 82 of “A Kind and Just Parent” Ayers writes that his: “neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander and writer Barack Obama. Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think a unique dimension to the idea of “safe neighborhood watch:” the Fruits of Islam, his security force has an eye on things twenty-four-hours a day.” [emphasis mine].*

Even Democrats agree that Obama's a COWARD, watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rB1G0D3r7k

Here’s a partial list proving Obama’s cowardice:

ü     Obama voted "present" nearly 130 times in Illinois legislature

ü     BH0 never took on his party, even when he claimed to disagree with his party, he never took a stand.

ü     Obama did not stand up and denounce the sexist attacks on Governor Palin

ü     Obama turned his back on public financing. It is very cowardly to make a deal and then rescind because breaking your word works in your favor.

ü     Obama did not leave the racist Rev. Wright’s church for TWENTY years

ü     Tacit acceptance of anti-Semitism. (At best Obama’s dislike for Jews and Israel is tacit; it is possibly quite real.)

By the best estimation there are only 47 people that should vote for Barack Obama.

Let’s count them up:

Only 47 people know Obama well enough to actually vote for him.  For the rest of America he is an unknown.  No one can legitimately go into that booth, send in that absentee ballot or pretend to be a dead guy and vote for Barack Obama and feel that they know who he is, or what he stands for!

The Islamists want the Democrats completely in charge* because they are feckless in the war on terror; if the fight gets too hard they know the Dems will surrender.

They are particularly excited about the prospect of an Obama presidency because he is a coward.

Next up:  More on Obama’s lack of courage.

There are far too many anti-Semites in Obama’s past for this to be a coincidence!  The list is long: Khalid al-Mansour, Kenny Gamble (also known as Luqman Abdul-Haqq), Mazen Asbahi, Minha Husaini, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and of course, his babysitter, Rashid Khalidi.

The causes of tension, between African Americans and Jews in America, are unclear but it is obvious that they exist.  Despite many years of hard work in the civil rights movement, it is obvious that many Black leaders do not like Jews.

Barack Obama’s attendance at dinner for Rashid Khalidi, a radical professor and activist tied to the PLO, is quite probably a product of those tensions and should be construed as tacit acceptance of many anti-Semitic positions taken by the radicals that he calls “acquaintances.”  It would take a man of courage to stand up (as many Jews did for Blacks in the 60’s and 70’s) to all the people that surround him, who are espousing racist views, and denounce the hate-filled speeches as wrong.  Obama must agree with the bile effused by his many friends or he is not a courageous man. 

This blog has called Barack Obama out on his cowardice* on several occasions.  If the country is hoodwinked into electing him president, he must demonstrate that he is a better, braver man than he was in the past.  Cowards do not make good presidents.

If "the tape”* were harmless Obama would call for its release.  This story could strain the Shotgun Scale of Press Bias.** (It’s a 10/1, but clearly it could possibly go right off the scale.)

The Left Will Control:

Both Houses of Congress (almost definitely)

The Supreme Court (eventually)

The Executive (including the military, the FBI and the CIA)

The Universities

Most Major Papers

Public Education

The Major Cities (New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago)

The Federal and State Government Bureaucracies

The Unions

Hollywood

The Networks (NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, BET, MTV)

CNN (separated from the networks because they purport to be a neutral news organization)

NPR & PBS (separated from the networks because they are funded by taxpayers)

Network News

Left Wing Websites/Blogs

The Late Night Shows (Leno, Letterman)

The fake news shows that brilliantly indoctrinate their viewers (The Daily Show, Colbert Report)

The Right has:

FOX News (arguably)

Talk Radio (until the “Fairness Doctrine”)

Two or Three Newspapers

Right-leaning Websites/Blogs

Rural America

40 million families (a guesstimate)

Both lists are incomplete, but the top one is scary.

How far in the tank is the media* for Obama?  We need to create a new standard. The system can be based on how much in the national interest a story is, and how far the media tanks for it.

An example: 

On scale of one-to-ten, the Governor Palin wardrobe story was a two (in the national interest) and it received a medium amount of coverage - in the six range.  (2/6)

On the other hand, the Senator Biden gaffe of stating Obama’s inexperience, and possibly slipping with national secrets, was clearly a ten, but received coverage of approximately one (relative to its importance).  (10/1)

Therefore, if the first number matches the second, or is close, than the press has been even-handed, otherwise the difference is the quantifiable press bias, hereby named the Shotgun Scale of Press Bias.  A perfectly balanced score of 5/5, 6/6 or 3/3 etc. is what we should demand of non-editorial reporting.

In this particular case the press bias is a huge factor of 2/6 (-4) negative for Palin and the inexperience/national calamity story was biased 10/1 (+9) in favor of Senator Biden. (We must compare apples to apples, so the stories compared should both be either possibly harmful or possibly helpful.)

It may take some tinkering; I am looking forward to input.

Dear America,

Lowly citizens, we, the much smarter and wiser media, have been inundated with requests* to be more honest, and balanced, in our coverage of the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency. We pledge to continue to be impartial  ;-) .  And, we just wanted to remind you to vote; not for anyone in particular ;-) .  We’ve done all we can to inform you. 

Here’s the list to remember when you get in that booth:

ü     We turned Governor Palin into a caricature; we ignored her accomplishments and exaggerated her flubs.

ü     We’ve ignored the national embarrassment that is Joe Biden.  We’ve passed on Biden’s huge gaffes and have overstated his intellect.

ü     We convinced you that the Republicans are responsible for the economic crisis; Democrats had nothing to do with it.

ü     We did not fully investigate Obama’s radical views and his radical associates.

ü     We’ve let you believe that Republicans control congress.

ü     We’ve ignored the fact that Obama smokes.

ü     We ignored Obama’s very extreme views on abortion.

ü     We’ve obfuscated the tax issue enough to leave you confused (lowering taxes can’t possibly raise income).

ü     We’ve completely ignored any good news from Iraq or the ongoing war on terror

ü     We demonized Bush/Cheney as much as we could and linked McCain to him as tightly as possible.

ü     We’ve called you a racist (let’s face it, most of you outside of New York and San Francisco, are).

And last and most important…

ü     We’ve convinced you, despite Obama’s lack of any real experience, that he is qualified to be President of the United States, possibly the most demanding job in the world.

Yes, we’ve done our job America, now go out and vote, several times if you can, for the person whom we’ve worked very hard.  Oh, and, you’re welcome.

Bob Dole was a gentleman, too much of a gentleman to defeat Bill Clinton who showed him little respect.  John McCain is a gentleman too, the kind of gentleman who corrects his audience when they say silly things about his opponent.  McCain could be on the same path as Dole if he doesn’t wise up.

McCain is too much of a gentleman to allow people introducing Obama to use his middle name.  That is right, this is a divisive ploy.

McCain was too much of a gentleman to bring the hammer down on Barack and point out that Obama is in favor of infanticide during the debate.  This may be smart, the media would come to Obama’s defense, try to cover it up, portray it as a lie, and (somehow) call McCain a racist.

McCain is too much of a gentleman to bring up Reverend Wright.  This is wrong; Wright’s a legitimate issue that shows whose opinions Obama respects, and that either Obama believes that America is horribly flawed and racist too, or he is too much of a coward to challenge Wright.*

McCain should use every legitimate weapon at his disposal, it’s not as if the media, or his opponent, will ever give him credit for being a gentleman after they, working together, defeat him.

Obama is not a gentleman; he is a coward.
