I am an
angry Democrat who is not going to support the Democratic Party if Obama is the Party's choice to run as our Presidential Candidate...some might say, "So what, who cares, you are just ONE PERSON." True enough, but I am unusual in a few ways, including the fact that I represent the BASE of the party, am part of that grassroots that has too long been used, abused and tossed to the side the day after the elections are over. In the 2006 Election, I played a key role in Congressman John Hall's upset win against incumbent Sue Kelly, believed in him when the party gave him ZERO CHANCE of winning the seat in New York's 19th Congressional District. As a single voter, I know what it takes to get my voice heard, my political views seen by over 100,000 voters on YouTube in 2006, and at least double that on my blogs in the closing months of that election. I am also one of those angry grassroots folks dissappointed at
John Hall for turning his back on us once WE GOT HIM ELECTED to Congress.
Until February, I was content for the most part to vote for whichever of the two main candidates our party put up for President, was prepared to be a volunteer for either of them this fall in a TEAM EFFORT to defeat John McCain...that has changed, and if Barack Obama is our candidate, I will bring every force I can to bear to see him defeated, including working for John McCain. The Party Power Brokers, the Super Delegates need to look at the on ground reality, and accept the fact that Obama has given the Republicans everything they need to defeat him come November. Couple that with the seething anger Obama has created in the Democratic Power base, blend it with the internet savy of many of us, and we can take the man down and will...the 2008 Presidential Election will not be decided by BIG MONEY, but by the Grassroots as the Internet allows us to finally level the playing field, match Big Business, PAC Money and the Lobbyist/Special Interest Folks stride for stride.
The time has come for the Democrats to jettison Senator Obama, send him to the hall of failed Presidential Candidates where he can reside with the likes of John Kerry, Al Gore and Michael Stanley Dukakis, his remarks in his California "Obama TANK MOMENT" sealing the deal, making him unelectable in the Fall Elections. The Barack Hussein Obama wagon has pulled into the station, the fairy tale over, the truth uncovered in a fashion that the Pro Obama National Media cannot ignore, cannot simply sweep under the carpet in their incestuous Obama's "Our Man" Love Fest that has been occurring over the past 12 months. He further sealed his fate when he refused to simply APOLOGIZE to those he offended, instead trying to defend his statements, and attack Hillary Clinton.
Let's put away the fairy dust, let's stop letting some punk nosed college kids beat their popularity drums into a frenzy on You Tube, Face Book and My Space, ignore the 90 percent support of Obama in the Black Community just because he's BLACK and look at reality on the ground, accept some basic truths rather than watch Obama self destruct this fall, putting McCain in the White House. No longer can we accept Obama's WHOOPS, I said that wrong, or WHOOPS, I showed some poor judgement but it will not happen again dismissal of his indiscretions and poor judgements. He has had his three strikes and then some, the Natonal Media treating him with kid gloves because he is black, because they fear having the race card played on them.
Let's look at some of the AMMO Obama has given the Republicans, and if you think they will not use it this fall, you are KIDDING YOURSELVES, could be considered delusional. In his latest self destruction move, Obama states:
"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." (If you watch the whole tape, the words prior to this statement are even more troubling, as he hints these same people are doubtful of his message because it is being delivered by a BLACK MAN.)
How can Republicans Attack this remark, let us count the ways:
1. The story is not steeped in Radical Right Wing roots, but instead sprouted and grew out of a story in the liberal bastion, "The Huffington Post", the story broken to the media by a Obamaniac who had tapped out her own ability to donate more money to Obama. In fact, this person admitted to CNN that she sat on the story for days knowing it could WRECK Obama's Presidential Campaign.
2. The timing could not be worse for Obama, and for the Democrats...the undecided in Pennsylvania are tuning into this latest scandal, and unless CNN lobes softballs at Obama tonight (they did), he should get SLAMMED in his appearance on the Faith and Values Forum. Any one want to place bets that Hillary goes for the juggler on Wednesday night during the ABC News debate, and can you blame her? The time has come for a Blood Bath, Hillary must pull out all the tricks to slice and dice Obama, to save the party from itself.
3. Obama proved the accusation that his appeal is with Latte Liberals with his own words, showed he is OUT OF TOUCH with the BASE of the Democratic Party. If you cannot connect with the base, you are not going to win MUST WIN states such as New York, Ohio, Michigan, Florida...in short, all the states Obama has failed to win, cannot win. Take away his wins in Red States, in states that will be Red in the fall, and he is toast. Further, if our primaries were winner take all as they should be, the choice would be easy, Hillary wins hands down (if as you should, you give her Michigan and Florida).
4. Obama's line about bitterness has given McCain and the Republicans a singular point of attack...Obama the snob, out of touch with the common man. It is John Kerry on his wind board all over again.
5. It gives people an out who did not want to vote for Obama, but also did not want to be made victim of THE RACE CARD. Come on, WAKE UP...for months now the Al Sharpton's and Jessie Jackson's of the political arena have all but stated, "Vote for Obama or you are a racist" to the super delegates. Well, Obama just gave all of them THEIR OUT, eliminated the Black Communities ability to hold the BIGOT CARD over our collective heads.
6. Obama's remarks will have alienated significant portions of two of the most important voting blocks in America, the Gun Owners (2nd Amendment) and Religious Folks. How many Americans own guns because they collect them, own guns because they HUNT? How many people believe in God out of faith in a Superior Being, rather than out of a desperate need to have something in their life to cling to. When those commercials are being fed into peoples homes day in and day out this fall, they will have their desired effect.
We can all see the commercials now, know the line of attack that is coming if we as Democrats are stupid enough to give the Democratic nod to Obama, and there is more, and we all know it. It took me less than two hours to storyboard three different Obama Attack Videos for You Tube...what do you think the Republicans are up to as this post is created? Do you think the Republicans are not going to run with Michelle Obama's "This is the first time I've been proud of America" comment? Marry that to her comment about MEN BEING ACCESSORIES, and you can pretty much count out the White Male vote in the fall elections.
Lets not forget the entire Jeremiah Wright scandal, and Obama's steadfast refusal to rebuke the man...do we really believe the Republicans are not going to attack Obama's TWENTY YEAR relationship with this BLACK BIGOT, and that is what the man is, no matter how the Black Community might want to present/portray him. Reverse Racism is real, and Jeremiah Wright and Senator Obama brought it right into America's living room for every one to see and witness, and in refusing to rebuke the man, Obama embraced and approved of it. How often do you think we will see his "Typical White Person" line played in the fall?
Unfortunately, there is more dirt just waiting in the Republican AMMO pile ready to lob at Obama in the fall election. We have the whole Rezco house scandal, and trust me, there is a reason why the case being handled by a Republican is taking so long to move forward...they want to make sure Obama is the Democratic nominee before they hang him and the party out to dry. Then we have the almost $200,000 in donations from Michelle Obama's boss, and the convenient timing of her $200,000 raise! We have Obama's COCAINE usage, and his penchant for smoking pot as a young college man...once a pothead always a pot head, and is Obama willing to accept random drug testing as a part of his presidency? The icing on the cake...everything about Obama's position on Illegal Aliens is wrong, and come the General Election, he will be hung out to dry for his position on Illegal Aliens...Americans do not support health care for illegal's, prevailing wages for illegal aliens, social services for illegal aliens, Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, and a more liberal Guest Worker Program. Conrary to the views held by folks like Nancy Pelosi, a lot of us Democrats to no favor Amnesty, are very angry that we are unemployed while illegal aliens steal our jobs, take our pay home to their houses, send remittances back to their families in Mexico in the name of the National Chamber of Commerce's desire for CHEAP WAGES.
The time has come to KICK OBAMA TO THE CURB. The longer this goes on, the more we are forced to watch Obama getting a FREE PASS by the party and the National Media, the more the fabric of the Democratic Party is ripped to shreds.
