New McCain Ad nails Obama on the kneecaps. (or worse….)

(H/T to Ed over at HotAir.com)

The deadly quote in this entire Ad is:

You know, I am a believer in … in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that … if I were seriously to consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate. Now there may be some people who are comfortable doing that, but I am not one of those people. — Barack Obama, 2004

Ouch!

Now some would say that McCain’s team is using words from before his decision to run for President. Which is a fair criticism, however, for those paying attention to this whole race, this could do some serious damage.

Now personally, I think that this is classic Republican fear-mongering. It could work, and then again, it could backfire. Because the only thing that team Barry would have to do, is put out an ad reminding America that George W. Bush had intelligence warning about attacks from Al-Qaeda, and basically did nothing, and then tie McCain to Bush. That would be deadly. But would be very effective.

My advice to McCain is step very lightly on this subject, because it could come back to haunt you. Especially using the terrorist images.

My thoughts on Day 3 of the Democratic Convention

I am not supposed to write articles like this, I am a Libertarian Conservative. However, I am also an objective person and I believe both sides of these political isles deserve the same amount of fair treatment. Yes, I will be Blogging and writing about the Republican Convention as well. I will be criticizing what I feel to be overly lame. I will be Blogging about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of the convention.

While I am pleased to see, that the Democratic Party was able to get a nomination without a floor fight, I am quite disappointed to see how that nomination took place. You see, the Democratic Party is supposed to be a party of principles. However, so far, during and throughout this entire election process, the Democratic Party is totally broken these founding principles of that party.

First off, they elected a Presidential nominee solely based upon a very fatal reasoning — popularity. As much as I would like to say that Barack Obama was elected based truly upon his qualifications, I cannot. Barack Obama’s nomination in the Democratic was based solely upon one thing and one thing only, Identity Politics. Barack Obama’s greatest achievement on politics and within Washington DC and the Democratic Party is that he is an ambitious African-American.

Now before anyone accuses me of being racist. Let me also say this, while I do feel things should have been done differently. I as well feel that there is time for change in this country; unfortunately, the Republicans are on the wrong end of that change. I am an honest enough Conservative to say that. I also believe that there is another reason for this nomination to happen. That reason can be summed up in a few simple words:

“Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop.

And I don’t mind.

Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land!” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered 3 April 1968, Mason Temple (Church of God in Christ Headquarters), Memphis, Tennessee

I believe that finally, after many years, that the Democratic Party has finally after many years buried the racist bigotry of that party’s well-known past. That burial my friends, is a very good thing.

Joe Biden’s speech and Bill Clinton’s speech were both excellently executed. Bill Clinton gave the nod to the new Democratic Party. He knew that is what had to be done. Some may try to say that it was contrived, but I doubt it was at all. Joe Biden’s speech was cutting and may very well give the Democrats the bump that they need in the polls.

Overall, I believe it was a nice convention, it began a little weak, I felt. Nevertheless, it did end on a high note.

I look forward to seeing what the Republicans have to offer in the way of rebuttal and response. I do not expect to be overly dazzled, but I shall Blog about it and try my best, to be as objective as I can be.

The Media accuses John McCain of being dishonest in his ads.

This is kind of an oddball story. Mainly, because the media, as always, is full of it and, as always, in the tank for Obama.

This comes via ABC NEWS:

We in the media have given a lot of airtime to the TV ads of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., this week, starring as they do Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

There’s been evidence emerging that McCain’s campaign isn’t really running these ads anywhere, according to the Campaign Media Analysis Group.

“These were basically video press releases,” CMAG’s Evan Tracey tells the Wall Street Journal.

OK, so that’s kind of dishonest of the McCain campaign.

Today’s new McCain ad — “Tiny,” which you can watch HERE — crosses a new line into dishonesty, however, beyond whether or not it’s actually airing anywhere.

The Ad in question:

The script of the Ad:

“Iran. Radical Islamic government. Known sponsors of terrorism. Developing nuclear capabilities to ‘generate power’ but threatening to eliminate Israel.

“Obama says Iran is a ‘tiny’ country, ‘doesn’t pose a serious threat,'” the ad continues. “Terrorism, destroying Israel, those aren’t ‘serious threats’? Obama — dangerously unprepared to be president.”

Well, golly gosh gee… Here’s Obama’s Words, first in Video:

and in Print:

“strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That’s what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That’s what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That’s what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela — these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, ‘We’re going to wipe you off the planet.’

“And ultimately that direct engagement led to a series of measures that helped prevent nuclear war, and over time allowed the kind of opening that brought down the Berlin Wall,” Obama continued. “Now, that has to be the kind of approach that we take. You know, Iran, they spend one-one hundredth of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn’t stand a chance. And we should use that position of strength that we have to be bold enough to go ahead and listen. That doesn’t mean we agree with them on everything. We might not compromise on any issues, but at least we should find out other areas of potential common interest, and we can reduce some of the tensions that has caused us so many problems around the world.”

So, Where is the dishonesty again? I fail to see it. What more can we expect from a communist liberal media?

A movie that every American should watch, before voting

(H/T to AP at Hotair.com)

This movie, if it caught on in the Media would ruin Obama’s chances of being elected President.

Trailer 1:

Trailer 2:

Wow…. I don’t think Barry will have to worry about snipers. He’d better worry about this movie.

B. Hussein Obama the new Greek god?

Could it be? Could this be some sort of attempt to paint this guy as some sort of new Greek god?

Sure seems that way.

ABC NEWS Reports:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.

The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos’ National Football League team plays.

Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington’s Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party’s nomination for president.

He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.

The show should provide a striking image for the millions of Americans watching on television as Obama delivers a speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.

This my friends is unbelievable. Is this man’s ego that broad, that he must be painted to be the next Greek god, that will come to save the World from it’s troubles?

Please. This moronic tool is the product of an unconstitutional civil rights act, that was passed in 1964, by a Communist infiltrated congress. Which sought to broaden the Governments powers and to legislate morality in this country. This bill was not signed by a congressman, of whom I have the uttermost respect for, and that was Senator Barry Goldwater Sr.

The truth is that B. Hussein Obama is a Marxist. He has ties to some of the most corrupt in Chicago Illinois. He also has ties to William Ayers who, with his group weather underground committed acts of horrific terrorism upon this Nation and it’s people.

If this Nation elects this Negro man, it would be one worst disasters in this Nations history. I will not be voting for him, I assume that many that read this blog will not be either. Of course, electing John McCain will not be much better, because he is one of the most liberal Republicans out there. John McCain is soft on illegal immigration, John McCain’s Neo-Conservative polices are too close to the imperialistic George W. Bush, but B. Hussein Obama will be the worst disaster in the world, if he elect him.

So much for that Hillary speech!

So, you think that Hillary speech soothed all the wounds amongst the Hillary supporters? Well, that is what the Democratic Party wants you to think!

Turns out, it might not be exactly true.

That is because that the Washington Post is reporting the following:

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s most loyal delegates came to the Pepsi Center on Tuesday night looking for direction. They listened, rapt, to a 20-minute speech that many proclaimed the best she had ever delivered, hoping her words could somehow unwind a year of tension in the Democratic Party. But when Clinton stepped off the stage and the standing ovation faded into silence, many of her supporters were left with a sobering realization: Even a tremendous speech couldn’t erase their frustrations.

Despite Clinton’s plea for Democrats to unite, her delegates remained divided as to how they should proceed.

There was Jerry Straughan, a professor from California, who listened from his seat in the rafters and shook his head at what he considered the speech’s predictability. “It’s a tactic,” he said. “Who knows what she really thinks? With all the missteps that have taken place, this is the only thing she could do. So, yes, I’m still bitter.”

There was JoAnn Enos, from Minnesota, who digested Clinton’s resounding endorsement of Barack Obama and decided that she, too, will move on and get behind him. “I’ll vote for [Obama] in the roll call,” she said, “because that’s what Hillary wants.”

I hate to say it, but I kind of knew this was coming. As the saying goes, “Hell hath no fury, of that of a woman’s scorn.” In fact, yesterday, I was over at No Quarter. Which is a pro-Hillary Blog, (I know some have discredited Larry Johnson, but it is the best example…) and the comments section tells the story. It is just this simple, Hillary cannot control her delegates and supporters. She can suggest, she can plead, she can encourage, but she cannot force them, we live in a free and democratic society. Our people choose whom they want to represent them.

So, while it might sound nice that Hillary may have influenced her many supporters into to voting for Obama, this may just not be the case. It is nice to think that Hillary might have able to pull off the ultimate persuasion act, but I am afraid that just might not be the case.

The only way it will be known, as to the depth of that influence, will be in November at the many voting booths across America.

Let it go, Bill, Let it go…..

Bill Clinton just cannot shut up about his wife’s loss, can he?

Bill Clinton in Denver again undercuts Obama (TheHill.com)

Bill Clinton appeared to undermine Sen. Barack Obama again Tuesday.

The former president, speaking in Denver, posed a hypothetical question in which he seemed to suggest that that the Democratic Party was making a mistake in choosing Obama as its presidential nominee.

He said: “Suppose for example you’re a voter. And you’ve got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don’t think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues, but you believe that on the other half, the candidate will be able to deliver. For whom would you vote?”

Oh like Hillary Clinton would be able to “deliver” on the issues any less than Barack Obama. Please. 🙄 That sounds a bit racist, if you ask me. he can’t deliver? Because he’s black?

This quote also struck me as funny as well:

Former Clinton aide and Democratic strategist Paul Begala, however, told The Hill that the former president is solidly behind Obama’s candidacy.

“He’s totally for Barack,” Begala said Tuesday. “He’s totally for Barack.”

Yeah, He’s for Barack Obama alright, he’s for Barack being strung up in a tree, with a noose.

I mean, What further prove do we need, that Bill Jeff is nothing more, than one of many racist bigots of the old school Democratic Party?

Sorry Bill, but your idiotic mouth gives you away, every time. Please, just go away. For good.

So Much for the Biden Bounce eh?

I guess that Biden bounce kind of fell flat.

Via Gallup Poll:

It’s official: Barack Obama has received no bounce in voter support out of his selection of Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate.

Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Aug. 23-25, the first three-day period falling entirely after Obama’s Saturday morning vice presidential announcement, shows 46% of national registered voters backing John McCain and 44% supporting Obama, not appreciably different from the previous week’s standing for both candidates. This is the first time since Obama clinched the nomination in early June, though, that McCain has held any kind of advantage over Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

The Charts:

080826DailyUpdateGraph1_hplmnbc

080826DailyUpdateGraph2_pytrwsd

The margin of error is 2%

So, I guess it is going to take more than just some old white man to convince the rest the America that Obama is the man for the Presidency.

It is quite obvious that Obama is really going to have his work cut out for him. Now I know, of course, that the convention will provide a bump in his ratings in the polls, but this does show that people are not as easily swayed as people might have thought.

It very much looks that way.

Can the Clintons get over it? They should.

Video (via Politico):

Quote:

Hillary Rodham Clinton is over it — at least when people are watching.

Within days of losing the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama, her aides said she was all business, returning to her Senate duties, telling people she would do whatever Obama asked her to do in the general election.

Bill Clinton is not over it. He’s trying, his associates say. He’s slowly getting to a better place. But his resentments from the bitter campaign battles of last winter and spring are many and diverse, and people who have spent time with him recently said they fester just below the surface.

As I have Blogged before on here. Hillary Clinton has baggage, Lots of Baggage. Obama simply did not want that sort of stigma on his campaign. He knew, for a fact, that if he had Clinton his ticket, that the Far Right Wing of the Republican Party would attack him for it.

The Clinton’s issues with Barack Obama are:

  • Obama has taken the minimum public steps necessary to accommodate the Clintons, including giving them prime-time speaking spots.
  • But he has taken few of the extra steps that Clinton allies say would have gone miles toward fostering goodwill.
  • He did not work hard to help her retire her $24 million campaign debt.
  • He did not make a high-profile statement repudiating any suggestion that Bill Clinton played “the race card” in the nomination contest — an allegation that the former president considers grossly unfair and that continues to infuriate him.

Well, can you blame him? There were a TON of tepid, awful and down right nasty things that she did. Let’s review shall we?:

Clinton saying that she didn’t think that Obama was a Muslim, as far as she knew.

The Video:

Her very stupid comment about her staying in the race, in case Obama is assassinated.

The Video:

Which drew this fiery special comment from Keith Olbermann:

There are a many, many more, but I think this suffices.

So, quite frankly, Senator Clinton is owned nothing, she, in her self centered attempt to try and divide this party, all in the name of feminism and identity politics. She has brought this snub by Obama and his followers all upon herself, despite her attempt to spin this, she is the reason that this is happened to her.

The best advise I can give Senator Clinton is to address the convention, release her delegates and simply fade away and hope that she is able to salvage what little reputation that she has left. Because quite frankly, she is nothing more than a hindrance to that Democratic Party.

Until this happens, the Democratic Party will continue to be the divided Party that it is. Which will do nothing more, but put another Neo-Conservative in the White House.
