No More Incumbents Presidential Race

As we approach this critical election, we are being fiendishly fed the same disingenuous, fear-mongering BS that was so sinuously shoveled onto us by Dick Cheney in October of 2004: vote for McCain or become radioactive dust! Realizing that not even the ghost of Reagan can save him now, John McCain is resorting to the very mud-slinging, vituperative malice in which he once promised never to engage in. And the Keating 5 video was fair game as it demonstrated McCain’s role-albeit minor-in the lead up to the crises we are facing now. It should be noted, though, that there were four other democrats involved in this scandal.

So forget the crumbling economy, broken health care system, dilapidated infrastructure, environmental apocalypse, the two wars, a resurgent Russia, and an ascendent Iran because Barack Obama once sat on the same committee with a reformed former member of the Weather Underground–a group that most Palin supporters think is a bunch of independent meteorologists.

So much has happened in the realm of politics in the past couple of weeks that to absorb it all without leading to an early coronary mishap is next to impossible. It would take a years supply of Ipecac just to digest this week. John Edwards, the way too good looking to be a politician who fights split ends more than poverty, officially ended his neutral reticence when he officially endorsed Obama as the candidate to hand John McCain his cut up and blendered political meat. Now does this seemingly carefully crafted endorsement imply that Obama will choose the cutesy southerner to once again use his geographical significance to balance the ticket? While North Carolina may prove to be a critical electoral grab, you can count on Barack choosing Edwards in as much as Edwards choosing to run with Obama. In other wards, the chances of that happening are about as likely as Hillary Clinton sharing the presidential bedroom with Bill. On the contrary, if Obama is going to be able to match McCain’s foreign policy experience, maddeningly illogical though it may be, he is going to have to pick the dude with the most gravitas and sharpest voice on foreign policy in the gang of 535. Joe Biden, of course being that man.

Now, many of you may be thinking, “why on earth would Obama choose the guy that thinks he’s clean and articulate?” The answer is simple. Joe Biden is a elder statesman with a gusto, wit and diplomatic prowess that goes unmatched. Moreover, choosing Joe Biden will allow him to stay to true to his ‘message of hope’ and ‘politics of civility,’ while Joe can excoriate McCain’s complete and utter lack of worldly vision. Shit – have you heard the man speak? The dude’s criticisms of bush’s failures and the fear-monger posturing of the neocons is so fucking poetic that it is only a mater of time when Hallmark catches up.

Some quotes from the man that inspired me to blog for him:

“Rudy Giuliani, probably the most under qualified man since George Bush to run for president…Rudy Giuliani?? I mean, think about it, There’s only three things he mentions in a sentence…a noun, a verb, and 9/11.” ~Joe Biden

On Bush comparing Barack Obama’s foreign policy to those who wished to appease the Nazis before World War II, Biden said “This is bullshit, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset . . . and make this kind of ridiculous statement. If he thinks this is appeasement, is he going to come back and fire his own cabinet?”

I don’t know about you, but this is the type of backbone that the Democratic nominee is going to need should he overcome the myriad of 527 attack ads (a.k.a “The Wright Express”). Hell, he might even convince the DNC to give the Donkey a spine.

Barack Obama has been the subject of orchestrated attacks from right-wing media outlets over some comments he made regarding the political behavior of Pennsylvanian voters. Oh, wait, did I say right-wing media outlets? I really meant to say Hillary Clinton. Now, we are quite aware of the calculating nature and disingenuous posturing of Senator Clinton and how she’ll dissimulate her true political feelings on any given subject ( i.e., all the American idol contestants are winners) so as not to alienate a potential voter bloc (i.e., bitter bowlers). When she’s not gallantly dodging hostile Bosnian fire (no wonder 50 cent endorsed her), she’s fearlessly walking through fire to rescue sick puppies and orphans from being executed and devoured by Idi Amin. In short, Hillary will pretty much say anything to get elected.

However, I believe Hillary has reached a new level of a desperation or “computer glitch” in smearing her opponent as “elitist, divisive and out of touch with real Americans,” while she outdrinks Spuds McKenzie and reminisces about killing animals with her daddy.

In taking a page out of the Rovian handbook, Hillary is doing the job of every demagogic right-winger, and in doing so will only see her support wither should she magically secure the nomination. Her vitriolic reaction to Obama’s comments is reminiscent of when the chickenhawks excoriated John Kerry for his ‘getting bogged down in Iraq’ botched joke, although Obama was making a lucid political commentary and showed refreshing candor.

In an effort to plumb the depths of frustration on the part of people in small towns in particular, Obama said these folks often turn to religion, guns, and illegal immigrant bashing to vent their anger over economic uncertainty and fear. Sen. Hillary Clinton pounced on the man she’s been steadily losing ground to and denounced his comments as “elitist and condescending.” I only wonder if she crafted her responses while chugging decidedly blue-collar Crown Royal in one of her multi-million dollar mansions after taking a much needed rest from toiling over counting the $110 million that she and Bill made over the past seven years.

In an excellent show of political acumen, Obama was merely trying to explain why middle class Americans would vote against their own economic self-interest. If the economy is really the hot potato issue right behind celebrities in rehab, it is common sense that pretty much all middle-class small-town American would vote Democrats. After all, democrats want to lower taxes for the middle class, make health care and education more affordable, help solve the housing crisis, close tax loopholes for colossal MNCs and obscenely wealthy people to finance social services and finance social security and medicare, etc . . .

So then why do they vote for brain dead retards who pose as common brain dead retards all the while being an ivy league legacy elitist brain dead retard?

It’s because they know that the beltway is much too concerned with short termism and incrementalism in order to maintain incumbency. As Obama correctly stated, small-town middle-class American have seen their jobs going away for the last 25 years. Politicians have promised that these jobs would come back but they never have. Invariably, they all begin to think that Washington is ignoring them like a bill to ban strip clubs and is blatantly lying to them about economic issues. Consequently, they become some so overemotional that they turn to divisive social issues (guns, god , etc.).

If there’s any indication that we are marred in chaos indefinitely, or as I put it ” up Shiite creek with no paddle,” it is in John McCain’s ludicrous statements from the stump (”A Hundred Years”). These startling statements reveal a man so detached from reality and so utterly afraid to confront Hilary and Obama on the economy, an issue he readily admits little knowledge of, that the so called maverick has no other choice but to tout the surge. Scary enough, a lot of Americans are still miserably uninformed when it comes to Iraq. For example, more Americans than ever before - 42 percent - say the troop surge in Iraq has made things better, the percentage of Americans who say the war is going well is now ten points higher than it was in September of last year and, worse yet, twenty-eight percent of Americans still believe Saddam was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.

This radical and seemingly inconceivable disconnect implies that Americans aren’t paying attention, and why should they? The coverage of the war has dropped precipitously — down to 3 percent of available news space and air time this year, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism. Indeed, war coverage did make a comeback last week ( no Govs Gone Wild?) because of the American death toll reaching 4000, which I suppose reflects the media’s affinity for round,easy numbers (3,557 is fluff; bring out the horny governors!)

Enter Barack and Hillary (she still in it?)

In order to demystify the belief that the surge is working, Messrs. Barack and Hillary are going to have to do more than call for vague timetables. Rather, the candidates will have to constantly remind Americans of the astronomical costs for this monumental foreign policy blunder, link it to the crumbling domestic economy, and offer real and imaginative solutions in the face of a war hero while simultaneously highlighting McCain’s gaffes (the Iran/Sunni connection) on the issue. In short, they will have to demonstrate that gravitas and war hero status, although admirable and noteworthy, do not equate to sound and reasoned judgement.

As the title suggests, I am so utterly sick of receiving these out and out preposterous anonymous emails erroneously claiming that Barack Obama is a radical Wahhabist bent on infiltrating the White House to forge his Islamofascist aspirations. Not even a Bill O’ Reilly Wet dream.

Here’s what we have all seen (unfortunately):

Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (black muslim) of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas. (white atheist ).

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when you are seeking political office in the United States, Obama joined the United Church of Christ to help purge any notion that he is still a Muslim.

Oh how right the demagogic, vituperative putrid shit bags are. How did we miss that? I mean, anyone who titles their book “The Audacity of Hope” is so obviously a sinister sleeper thirsting for infidel blood

While it is completely beneath my intelligence to even consider dignifying such a ludicrous calumny with a response, I must do so to restore my metaphysical well-being.

Virtually everything we do know about Obama’s parentage and upbringing, it should be stipulated, comes from the senator himself. Obama told the story of his search to uncover his African heritage in Dreams from My Father (Three Rivers Press, 2004), and shared further autobiographical details in The Audacity of Hope (Crown Publishers, 2006). And though his father was raised a Muslim, he had lost his faith and became a “confirmed atheist” by the time he attended college, according to his son. And unless I have cataracts at the age of 25, I really don’t ever recall seeing Barack Obama bragging or even mentioning being a Muslim. That anyone would believe a duly elected US Senator seeking the fucking highest office in the world, next to vice-president, would deliberately hide his religious affiliation (Muslim) for twenty fucking years while actively practicing Christianity needs to increase their Thorzine . . . and now!

I met Barack Obama back in 2005, before he was a national sensation, and naturally adored the man, and he gave me no indication of wanting to kill me or my family. Then again, I was too lost in his eyes to tell.

And even though I supported and blogged for Sen. Joseph Biden Jr., I never once thought that I was doing so out of fear of being manipulated by an incorrigibly optimistic radical Muslim. Regardless of who wins the nomination, it’s imperative that we don’t get swift boated again

Before the Dithering Decider delivered his FINAL (can’t say that enough) dismemberment of the English language to an especially outraged nation, the person eclipsing his lameduckness showed up in strategic pairs. Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Joe Biden (D-Del.) strode into together, chatting very amiably. Although Super “clusterfuck” Tuesday hasn’t arrived, I figured I’d keep in the tradition of fast tracking the process and speculate on Hillary’s winning VP . . . should she become the nominee. Hillary Clinton’s VP could be any of the following people for the following reasons:

1. New Mexico Governor and Pres. drop out Bill Richardson-Bill’s Hispanic. Pure and Simple. Indeed, the Governor’s Hispanic roots significantly outweigh his secretarial and ceremonial posts in Bill Clinton’s administration primarily because it’s a voter bloc that both parties have desperately wooed. Since Florida is a state that one of the parties will have to carry in order to cement a victory, the selection of a Hispanic in a state that is largely inhabitated by Hispanics would augur quite nicely. After all, Hillary is the personification of expediency

2. General Wesley Clark- It is important to note that Wesley Clark was the Clinton’s original choice back in 2004 when they openly endorsed him. A Clark VP would bring national security and war and peace credentials to the ticket, which is something that Hillary desperately needs in order to appeal to the general electorate as a legitimate Commander of the Armed Forces. Also, reports show that the general has been campaigning indefatigably for Hillary

3. Joe Biden- My Homeboy! Similar in respects to Clark, whom I enormously respect, Joe Biden would bring his flawless Iraq Partition plan and diplomatic prowess. This would serve Hillary quite well in the event that McCain, the man who believes that Iraq can be governed from the center, becomes the Republican nominee.

So John Kerry endorses Barack Obama? Is it just me or do the Democrats always seem to find defeat in the jaws of victory? At any consolation, the ascendancy of Senator Obama shows they’ve come up with new and improved strategies of losing elections. The rapid rise of the first electable African American presidential candidate and the beguiling awe he brings each and every time he addresses throngs of diverse supporters is unquestionably a story book–with or without the approval of Oprah. Seriously, one would be amiss (*cough douchebag) to discount the greatness of this guy. The innumerable amount of Americans disenchanted with the ruinous state of the country, the naird image abroad, and the cynical Washington mentality are easily enthralled and seduced by Barack’s refreshingly straightforward rhetoric. Indeed, Senator Obama’s message does transcend partisan politics: his opponents on the republican side are now using change as their stated strategy, despite the fact that it’s more of an oxymoron than anarchy.com.

On Jan. 3, corn fondlers chose Barack Obama, the feel good candidate of the year who talks of hope and change but whose specific goals upon being elected are narrowly limited to pulling out of Iraq with little regard to the repercussions to the Iraqis we devastated. For my part, Iowa’s voice is similar to that of a teenager who was just grounded on prom; they’ll do anything just to piss off their parents. Hillary Clinton of course is the parent. I think it’s great that Iowa debunked Hillary’s campaign–a campaign seen as a shoe in from when she announced it . . . in the womb. And while I realize that Joe Biden was essentially campaigning to become Hillary or Barack’s Secretary of State (hopefully VP), I’m still livid that flowery rhetoric can trump seasoned experience in both domestic and foreign affairs. Begging the question, are all Americans this dumb or just Iowans? Moreover, are we electing an Ipod or a president? Adding comity to our otherwise vitriolic public discourse and combating voter apathy, although noble and righteous, is by no means a consideration in a dangerous, ever-changing global environment

In all fairness to Senator Obama, because of the current lummox-in-chief, the standards are lower than Keith Richards’s blood count. Assuming Senator Obama can continue to ride this wave of change through the primaries, I hope that he chooses a Biden or a Richardson as his runningmate.

Please do not regard the title of this blog as some subtle inference to Ron Paul as the only candidate to take on the frigid Hillary Clinton. On the contrary, my point is to illustrate how the subject of Ron Paul in the MSM is just as tangential as Global Warming. Forget he’s the only republican candidate with the smarts and intestinal fortitude to challenge the conventional wisdom of his party; forget he’s belying his second-tier status by rasing funds at incredible speed (Ron Paul raised $5 million on a single day); and forget he’s the only republican candidate to have not only openly called for a withdrawal from Iraq, but explained the historic consequences of intervention commonly known as ‘blowback’.

Ron Paul shot to prominence at the Republican debate in South Carolina when he brilliantly cited the reasons as to the rise of Al-Queda. In response to a question on terrorism Ron Paul said, “Have you ever read about the reasons why they attacked us? They attack us because we’ve been over there . . . we’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years.” Ron Paul furthered his assertion on the dangers that lie in unchecked interference by citing the CIA-backed overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran.

Boring, Mr. Paul! The MSM needs to know what you think of Brittany shaving her head!

Ron Paul’s ardent desire to focus on the issues and our political history is utter balderdash! He should be focusing on inventing new and improved ways of forming sentences that contain 9/11 if he ever wants to break through the hype. That Rudy is getting wall-to-wall coverage on Fox news, the network that makes Joseph Goebbels look like the BBC, isn’t the least bit shocking when he’s banging the Iran war drum like his second wife and drooling at the prospect of torture like a rabid pit bull. After all, he does have quite the relationship with Fox News president Roger Ailes, which, if I’m not mistaken, is deeper than one of his marriages. But how come the unusually scant coverage on the other networks? It’s time for the talking heads of MSM to stop fawning over the majority candidates and start giving equal coverage to lower-tier candidates with great ideas such as Ron Paul and Joe Biden. Although they belong to different parties and undoubtedly have diametrically opposed views on the issues, particularly on Foreign Policy, they both have what seems to be the vision, experience, and guts to lead our nation out of the crapper.

I wanted to pass along some promising news that Senator Biden has received recently. Even in a race of celebrity candidates, Ken Dolls, and quasi-ceos, Joe Biden is moving up. This nomination will be won by the candidate that looks voters in the eye, shares his/her story, and is straight with the American about what we have to do to restore our place in the world, as opposed to the asterisk candidates who seem to think delivering prepared speeches in front of partisan crowds is what it takes–completely oblivious to the fact that the Dems need 60 votes to override a presidential veto. Hell, Barack–no last name necessary– doesn’t even bother to show up for important Senate floor votes. I’m referring of course to the Lieberman-Kyl Iran Amendment, which accuses Iran of fighting “a proxy war against the Iraqi state and coalition forces in Iraq” and designates the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Barack Obama must be taking notes from Fred Thomspon, a perrenial no show.

According to a high-ranking Hill staffer, “he wasn’t there at all,” neither during debate over the measure nor when the Democratic caucus purged two provisions that, among other things, would have declared prudent the “use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq… with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Dave Nagle, a former Iowa congressman and state party chairman, says Biden is emerging as an alternative to the perceived front-runners. “He is gaining traction,” said the uncommitted Nagle in a Boston Globe column.

Last Friday, Joe Biden was joined by Sam Brownback in Des Moines to discuss his plan for Iraq, which gained an overwhelming majority of support in the United States Senate when Senator Biden’s amendment promoting federalism in Iraq passed 75-23 - including 26 Republicans. MSNBC’s Carrie Dan was able to describe the scene:

“Three local camera crews, plus a three-man team and a live satellite truck sent by CNN, made the room look like Britney’s booking compared to a typical event for a candidate whose name isn’t Barack, Hillary, or Rudy.”

Even though he manages a demanding Senate schedule as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Biden is hitting the campaign trail as often as possible as we get closer and closer to the Iowa Caucus.

The Republicans should face reality: Bush has tainted the executive office so incredibly badly that their party doesn’t stand at a chance in the presidential election next year. In fact, it doesn’t matter who they nominate—Giuliani, McCain, the Mormon, or Reagan’s ghost. As long as the Democrats put up someone with a pulse, the G.O.P. is going down faster than Paris Hilton on the US Navy.

And since Hillary is the Democratic frontrunner, what they’re doing by proceeding as if they have a chance is making their own worst nightmare come to pass—President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

(Logic doesn’t explain why conservatives detest the Clintons so much, especially when she’s the most conservative of all the Democratic Party’s candidates. My theory is that Bill was the first Democrat to serve in the White House after Fox News came on the air, so eight years of blatantly anti-Clinton propaganda has whipped the Fox faithful into a frenzy without them really understanding why. As with dogs trained to attack on command, there’s not a lot of thought involved.)

So what the Gang of Petrowhores should do is forfeit the election. Just give up now. They withdraw now, and in their place, the top two Democrats duke it out next November. In other words, whichever two donkeys get the most votes in the Democratic primary go before the voters. It could be Hillary versus Obama, or Hillary versus Biden.

Either way, it’s a win-win situation for conservatives and sane Americans, too: Conservatives get the chance to vote for someone who isn’t Hillary and—more importantly—actually has a chance of winning, while everyone else gets a much better choice than Hillary versus McCain.

Of course, all of this is contingent on Republicans facing reality—which is not something that conservatives are known for doing.
