Sad but true.

As of next week they will have totally destroyed the Republican Party. Good work, boys! All those “Churchill Award Winners” and “Lincoln Fellows” really did a job on the ole GOP.
Let’s hope these parasites next attach themselves to the Democratic Party, which is where most of them came from in the first place.
Something tells me. It is going to be a LONG four to eight years.
Before someone else finds it and I become the next new big thing…
It’s a video of me, trying to explain to Scribefire Tech Support, that their program is not working properly. As you can see, I’m not the greatest video director in the world. The video was shot on a Kodak EasyShare C613
Hey, it’s not Pajama’s Media, but it’s a start. I think. 
Bill Anderson posting over at Lew Rockwell’s Blog points out the following:
In a column dated April 1, 2003, Paul Craig Roberts wrote:
“Despite stiff and unexpected Iraqi resistance, the U.S. invasion of Iraq is likely to succeed in toppling Saddam Hussein—and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, President Bush, the Republican Party, and American neoconservatives.”
Blair is gone, the Neocons are looking for new hosts, and a week from tonight, the Republican Party will be decimated and most likely will be irrelevant for at least my lifetime and may never hold either the White House or a majority in either house of Congress again. It seems that it took a while for everything to come to pass, but Roberts got it correct.
A sad, but very good point. Thanks to the blatant stupidity of the Bush Administration,any sort of fiscal Conservatism, Social or Conservative period is going to be absent from the White House, Congress, and collectively in Washington D.C.
This should be, but most likely will not be, a teaching moment for the Republican Party. That Neo-Conservatism just does not work. Further more, it should be a lesson that one cannot elect a President based upon pedigree. It just does not work and in the end it will cost your party, as we see it doing now.
Of course, Bush had the chance to do things right and he blew it. This is why Republicans are going to lose and lose hard in this election.
Sigh…. 
It only gets worse for McCain.
Zogby, A Republican owned Polling system has grim news for John McCain:
The race for President of the United States continued to tighten, as both Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain lost ground in a contest that is now a four–point game, the latest Reuters/C–SPAN/Zogby daily tracking telephone poll shows.
Obama lost 0.9 points and now stands at 49.0% in the tracking poll, while McCain lost 0.4 points and now stands at 44.7% support in a head–to–head match–up. Another 6.3% said they were undecided, up from 4.9% the day before.
McCain wins 87% of the Republican support, and Obama 84% of the Democratic support, and each candidate wins 11% of the opposing party’s support. Obama continues to lead among independent voters – his advantage now stands at 16 points, 51% to 35%.
McCain leads among men, 48% to 45%, while Obama leads among women by a larger 53% to 42% margin. Among white voters, McCain leads by a 53% to 41% margin. Among Hispanics, Obama leads, 66% to 28%, and among African Americans, Obama wins 88% to McCain’s 9%.

Wow… just wow…. I mean, who can spin that, McCain says it’s going to be a squeaker? Honestly? Is he reading the same polls as the rest of the world? I mean, Zogby! The Republican Poll company says you’re losing?!?! Unbelievable. 
I do not dare use the word “landslide”. But It’s going to be a bad day on November 4.
Well, I go and Blog and Pew Research makes a monkey outta me. 🙄
Pew Research: Support Continues Downward Spiral
Barack Obama leads John McCain by a 52% to 36% margin in Pew’s latest nationwide survey of 1,325 registered voters. This is the fourth consecutive survey that has found support for the Republican candidate edging down. In contrast, since early October weekly Pew surveys have shown about the same number of respondents saying they back Obama. When the sample is narrowed to those most likely to vote, Obama leads by 53% to 38%.
A breakdown of voting intentions by demographic groups shows that since mid- September, McCain’s support has declined significantly across most voting blocs. Currently, McCain holds a statistically significant advantage only among white evangelical Protestants (aside from Republicans). In addition, Obama runs nearly even with McCain in the so-called red states, all of which George W. Bush won in 2004.
Just as ominous for the Republican candidate, Obama holds a 53% to 34% lead among the sizable minority of voters (15%) who say they have already voted. Among those who plan to vote early but have not yet voted (16% of voters), 56% support Obama, while 37% support McCain.
Guess I won’t be so quick on the draw next time. 😀
The Numbers:
Overall the point is valid, that John McCain just is not resonating with the rest of the American people.
It’s sad, but the truth.
(H/T Rich Lowery)
Seems the Gallup Polls are showing a tighter margin for Obama and McCain.
Quote:
The gap between Barack Obama and John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Saturday through Monday has narrowed slightly, and Obama is now at 49% of the vote to 47% for McCain among likely voters using Gallup’s traditional model, and at 51% to 44% using Gallup’s expanded model.
Graphics:
John McCain said this race will be a "squeaker", as he called it. The problem is that it is not going to be a squeaker in his favor. It’s the economy, the war, and his ties to the Bush Administration that is killing him. Not to mention his picking of a total buffoon for a V.P.
Put quite simply, this is just not the Republicans year when it comes to Presidential Politics.
This is where my old school, Paleo-Conservative, Fundamental Baptist Self comes out…

15 percent of recently returned female soldiers report a sexual trauma during service, compared to 0.7 percent of male soldiers, according to preliminary research results from a Department of Veteran Affairs study released at the American Public Health Association meeting in San Diego. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about this.
There’s a simple solution to this, and I just know someone is going to see this and is going to pop a vein when I say it. But, if these women would have stayed home and been wives to their husbands and Mothers to their Children, then they would not have never gotten raped in the first place. By no means do I justify the rapes, not at all. But the simple fact is that Women have fought for equal rights with men, led by that feminist Nazi Gloria Steinem. Now that they have these rights and one of them gets raped by a man who looses control, they want to be treated special, coddled and treated differently.
To HELL with that I say, if you cannot take the heat, stay the hell out of the Kitchen. The Military was originally designed for men, fighting men, to defend this country against our enemies. Women were not a part of the equation. That is because Women knew their place and it was not on the battlefield. But thanks to your stupid liberals, women are now a part of the Armed Forces and they’re getting raped.
….and they wonder why we had such a time winning in Iraq.
From Jonah Goldberg at the NRO’s “The Corner”:
From promiscuous blogger Steve Hayward at NLT:
“Apparently something called the National Inhalant Prevention Council (NIPC) has protested a Wendy’s hamburger TV ad that features people breathing helium and floating around the room, with the tag-line, "Don’t fill up on just anything." The NIPC thinks this promotes unsafe behavior, because, yeah—people will go out and start breathing helium and stuff. (Helium is actually harmless to breathe; it’s a substitute for the 80% nitrogen in normal air for deep sea divers, duh.) I know I’m going to stay awake nights worried about this.
Who knew there was a National Inhalant Prevention Council. Maybe it was formed just last week. It seems to me that although it is not quite a perfect fit, NIPC’s acronym should be pronounced "nit-pick."”What I want to know: Where is the National Safe Catapult Society to condemn the flagrantly unsafe misuse of catapults in Road Runner cartoons? Not to mention the Committee for Taking Gravity Seriously and the Commission for Responsible Anvil Usage, which have been awol on Road Runner for years?
*snort* 
There times like these, that I look at my fellow Conservatives and I have to wonder to myself, “Honestly, Are these people on a different planet than me or what?”
I was over reading the incoming links in my RSS reader and I saw a posting on Little Green Footballs. It had to do with Barack Obama and his views of socialism. I disagree with his views, let me say that from the preface; but the quote at Little Green Footballs slightly troubles me.
Here is the stuff in full:
The audio recording of Barack Obama espousing his socialist philosophy of “redistribution of wealth” is all over the Internet and Fox News today (although most other media outlets are ignoring it), but there’s another disturbing section on that tape that has so far escaped notice.
The link to the audio is here: Chicago Public Radio – Audio Library: Odyssey.
At about 15:30, Obama compares what was going on in the United States during the time of Brown vs. the Board of Education to … Nazi Germany. Yes, really. Here’s the quote:
“…just to take a, sort of a realist perspective…there’s a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of. I mean you’ve got World War II, you’ve got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home.”
There you have it. America is close to electing a President who compares his own country to Nazi Germany.
The truth is Obama was saying much more than that. In Fact, Charles Johnson was parsing a quote to make a false accusation.
Oliver Willis, of whom I do not agree with much, makes a valid point:
I really wish this were some sort of brilliant parody, but these morons believe what they write.
I love this country second to none, but we do a disservice to ourselves if we truly try to pretend as if for hundreds of years America wasn’t a willing participant in the enslavement and subjugation of people. Particularly in the era Sen. Obama was discussing, America was part of the greatest liberation of all time, but we did so with a military segregated by race. We simply were not practicing what we preached.
The mental midgets of Little Green Footballs have gone so far in their defense of the indefensible that they would rather defend the concept of segregation – and maybe slavery too – in order for them to attack Sen. Obama.
Well, I somewhat agree with Oliver wrote. I highly doubt that Johnson was trying to defend segregation or slavery. He was however parsing a quote to attempt to frame Obama in a light that really is not fair.
However, there was something that Oliver did say that I highly agree with, and that is this:
I love this country second to none, but we do a disservice to ourselves if we truly try to pretend as if for hundreds of years America wasn’t a willing participant in the enslavement and subjugation of people. Particularly in the era Sen. Obama was discussing, America was part of the greatest liberation of all time, but we did so with a military segregated by race. We simply were not practicing what we preached.
I can honestly say that I do agree with this 100%. It does trouble me, that there are members of the Conservative movement that justify, if not condone the mentality that Blacks are sub-par with the rest of America. This is a sick and sad mentality to possess. In fact, I have previously blogged about my feelings toward the subject of racism in this Presidential race.
I might not agree with Oliver Willis on some issues, but this one, I am with him 100%. I just wish there were other Conservatives that would get their collective heads out of their asses long enough to see that Oliver and I are the ones who are correct and not the racists. One can hope for that day, I suppose.
