Czarbie The Has Been The One Lied...Again

~Snooper~

Over at News24, Czarbie said, among other things equally as inane, the following:

[...] "You know, I'm not going to be making up lies about John McCain," Obama told undecided voters in Dover, New Hampshire on Friday. But he dipped into history, citing the oft-repeated phrase: "If you don't stop lying about me, I'm going to have to start telling the truth about you." [END]

What lies, Czarbie? Ayers? Uncle Frank? Your Civilian National Security Forces? Your tax hikes to 60%? Your socialized health care that has failed everywhere it has been tried? Your not wearing a flag lapel pin because it may offend your pals in Iran? Your disrespect for the American Flag by turning your back to it, hands crossed across your crotch as the National Anthem is being played? What lies, Czarbie?

The lie you told Czarbie is that you aren't going to making things up about McCain. Let us refresh your memory hole there Czarbie. Remember back in February when you lied about what is now known as McCain's 100 Year War? What was that, Czarbie?

Czarbie...nothing but a lying Marxist bastard.

Trouncing Moonbats Is Fun

~Snooper~

Here we go. This is the first moonbat comment on TOCB since I brought it back on-line.

The comment was placed on a post entitled, Idiots On The Left: Frozen Brains and Dead Flesh. The post was in reference to one of those blind as a bat writers at the Snakes and Idiots blog where the wack jobs on the left hang out. Well, one of many places they hang out.

What the left doesn't understand or at least refuse to acknowledge is this: Islamic Jihad stipulates that any Nation or Peoples that does not subscribe to Islam-Shar'ia Law will either be wiped out or enslaved. Period. The End. So, one of "them" states the following in the comment section, link here.

Oh here we go again... another nutjob Christian group preaching that "they" know better than us and then they threaten us with destruction. Frankly I don't care about your religion or any nutjob religion. To me you are the same as the Taliban trying to force your religious nut-jobbery on others.

Throughout history no other concept of man has caused more destruction death rape and misery as religion. It is you that will face final judgement in the end. We that are live and let live will inherit the earth.

Incredible. Let's respond to this cretin's verbiage, shall we? But, first, please take note that there were no "religious" references in the piece commented on.

First off, the TOCB isn't a "Christian group" and I don't "preach" here. Period. I expose morons such as "Patrick". If Patrick chooses to be an idiot, so be it.

Second, I do know better than "it" because I have don e my homework and have faced "them" in battle. I have studied Islam and know what it is and its intentions.

Third, I am not the Taliban. If I was, I would be hunting Patrick and similar morons down and cutting off their heads for blaphemy against the alleged allah, the satanic god of Islam.

Fourth, whereas I agree that "religion" has created problems in this world since time began, I would like to point out that religion was created by man, not God. Whenever God is removed from Faith and man is made to be "in charge", the "religion" does become a problem.

Fifth, it was Islam that first prostituted religion. That is historical fact.

Sixth, I will face Judgment Day and when I do, I will walk through those Pearly Gates, unlike Patrick.

Seventh, those that are of the school of thought of live and let live are the idiots that allow the Islamic murdering thug bastards to have free reign - at their peril. Islam doesn't accept live and let live. They believe that you worship allah or die and if the need be, you will be their slave. Period. The only thing the pacifist droids will inherit is allahs' sword.

The End Draweth Nigh

~Snooper~

There is something in the air for the Party of Doom and Gloom and it smells like cherry blossoms to me. I suppose the odor and rank of decomposition is what they smell and it is for the good of the Nation which we call the United States of America. The closer we get to the national general elections the prettier the aroma of the DNC demise becomes and the ranker the decomposition of the socialists becomes. Poor things.

Barack Obama, the unknown upstart - the champion of Identity Politics - seems to be having issues with staying on track and on topic. For one, I think he should at least start with being honest. He is running as an African-American and he isn't one of those. He is pretending to be. His father was "black", whatever that is. His mother was "white", whatever that is. That makes him "gray", whatever that is. If he wants to play Identity Politics, he should run as the first Hybrid to aspire to the United States presidency. But, wait. All of the presidents so far are hybrids. So, disregard that last transmission.

If he was an honest man and I haven't heard of a DNC leader in recent years actually knowing what honesty is, he should at least openly admit to being the Marxist that he is. Then again, I am pretty sure that the nation is waking up to that factoid.

Jim Wooten has a piece up that pretty much sums up the Czarbie campaign - PANIC CITY. I find it pleasantly ecstatic that The One is fast becoming the Used To Be One - aka, a Has Been.

Barack Obama knows it. The election he had in the bag is slipping away.

The selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate has so thrown him off stride, as it has most other Democrats, that all the momentum he had has vanished. He’s getting panicky advice from everywhere. He intends to launch more and sharper attacks, abandoning any pretense of a new and different, more civil campaign. [...]

Must suck to be Michelle O. I wonder if she is proud of America now. I wonder if she is proud that the Nation has decided that The One isn't. I doubt it. She is more than likely all back to being that hateful racist woman from the South Side of Chicago like that Leroy Brown character.

I agree with Jim Wooten. This race will go down in history as did the races with Dukakis, Kerry and Mondale. Czarbie said he was going to raise taxes and so did Mondale.

As Czarbie's supporters create more and more non-issues, as they usually do in order to win, Czarbie will keep dropping like an F4 with dual engine failure. Keep it up Czarbie. Go ahead and refuse to condemn such antics and thereby support and agree with them. This isn't the Senate Floor and you cannot continue to vote "present". It is time to make a stand in something other than quicksand.

More at World Net Daily...

JASmius sums it up thusly:

No, actually, it comes from Lucifer's analogizing Sarah Palin to a pig from Tuesday. That is, at least, the most proximate cause to this sudden four point shift. Evidently, a lot of respondents took that gaffe the way Hugh Hewitt did. It already looks like it may end up being Barack Obama's "macaca moment," the watershed point back to which his eventual defeat can be traced, when his candidacy "jumped the shark". [...]

Czarbie's "attack" on the Patriotism of McCain certainly isn't helping him any. Everyone knows that Czarbie is a Marxist and McCain is not. So, I can only conclude that when Czarbie asks "which country" when McCain talks about Country First, he must be looking in the mirror.

Remember Baghdad Bob?

~Snooper~

Now we have Baghdad Murtha...HT DTRT...

I so pray that LTC Russell absolutely destroys Murtha in the November election in PA.

Now That Sarah Palin Has Thoroughly Spanked The Leftinistra...

~Snooper~

I can hardly wait for the debates to begin.

It is painfully obvious that Sarah Palin is indeed much more qualified than Barack Obama to be the President of the United States. However, I don't think that she can be the President at this moment in time. Still, using the bonifides that Barack has been proclaiming, Sarah Palin beats him hands down. She is most assuredly qualified to be the Vice President and not because she is a woman either.

That being said, Sarah Palin also surpasses Joe Biden seeing that he has recently admitted that Hillary Clinton is more qualified than he or Barack to be the President or Vice President. This "revelation" and self-abasement is curiously curious. This self admission of the lack of bonafides from the Second One Biden is one example of the emotional fall-out of dropping like a rock in the polls.

I am not a proponent of polls or pollsters by any stretch of the imagination. But, when the left-leaning polls cannot deny the obvious and show McCain-Palin walking away with the election, the landslide victory for the McCain-Palin ticket is becoming more and more obvious. It is because of the left-leaning polls depicting Barack's self-implosion that the Leftinistra across the board are in severe meltdown.

When the CONgress Critters are running for the Hill(s) clearly divorcing themselves from The One and The Second One, what can one conclude? When Czarbie clearly shoots himself in the head in an emotional break-down, what is one to conclude? When the Leftinistra try to pin Sarah Palin or anyone else down on the Mythical Bush Doctrine, when there isn't a Bush Doctrine to be found, what then is the conclusion?

As Czarbie in his emotional tail spin into the Abyss of Obscurity we Conservatives have prepared for the lice-infected brains of the Leftinistra chastise McCain because he "doesn't even send email - and there are known reasons for it - and they don't take into consideration that he CANNOT use a keyboard, what then do we conclude? (HT Don Surber)

[...] McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball. [...]

As Czarbie tries to paint himself into a fresh corner, the conclusion which we can draw becomes more and more evident.

Jonah Goldberg sets everyone straight on the issue letting everyone know that even Bill Clinton doesn't know squat about the internet that Gore built. Then again, Jonah is a Conservative. Yet, we have Nancy Pelosi still insisting - even though just about everyone knows it was a big joke - that Al Gore invented the "internets"...

I'm sure by now we are all aware of the Netroots Nation conference that happened in Austin, Texas last weekend. Well, did you know that without Al Gore it wouldn't have happened? That's right, since Al Gore invented the Internet... I know, I know, that is the old Al Gore joke where he famously claimed that he invented the World Wide Web. Everyone knows that Al Gore had little to do with the Internet, of course. But at least one person, obviously one rather easy to bamboozle, still thinks Al Gore did invent the Internet and one paper is happy to help her tell the world about it. In fact she thinks he invented all the technology inherent in that Internet. And she is currently the Speaker of the House of Representatives, sadly enough....[...]

Gee. I wonder who the internet illiterates are now...

The conclusion I have decided upon is as follows. Harry Reid is a prophet. When he stated that all was lost a while back he was actually predicting the fate of the DNC. I propose that the DNC now adopt this slogan and run with it seeing that they like to run away anyway:

"ALL IS LOST"

That describes their pathetic dribble.

Seven Long and Safe Years

~Snooper~

Whatever it is that has a burr under the saddle of The One, Uber Messiah Barack sure is barking up the left - wrong - tree. Those 8 years of the failed Bush foreign policies sure have kept us safe from terrorist attacks right back here at home. And thank God for it. I would hate to think about what would have happened if President Bush did lose his battles with the likes of Obama and the rest of the anti-Americanist crowds so rampantly pathetic in their zeal to lose this war.

And those failed Iraqi politicians sure have done more since The Troop Surge than our own failed and internationally embarrassed CONgress has gotten done under the DNC controlled House and Senate. And speaking of the Iraqi Benchmarks written by a defective CONgress, DNC led, designed to fail to justify their anti-Americanist slant, The Troops went ahead and made room in time long enough for the Iraqi Government to go ahead and get 15 and quite possibly 16 of the 18 Benchmarks accomplished. One will never come to pass and others are either done or close.

Some failed policy the Troop Surge. It has success written all over it thanks to the leadership of President Bush - the guy the Leftinistra consider to be the worse President in known history and the dumbest guy on the planet.

H.R. 2206, the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, stipulates that the US strategy in Iraq will be determined by the Iraqi Government's ability to meet specified benchmarks (Title I(Chapter 3(Sec 1314 (b)))), among other things...check the link to see what else makes the Iraqi Government "successful". I had no idea that American minimum wage was a factor. In Section 1314, we find the Benchmarks listed thusly: (NOTE: completed with be in BLUE, no chance of happening in RED and in process in GREEN.)

(i) Forming a Constitutional Review Committee and then completing the constitutional review.

(ii) Enacting and implementing legislation on de-Baathification.

(iii) Enacting and implementing legislation to ensure the equitable distribution of hydrocarbon resources of the people of Iraq without regard to the sect or ethnicity of recipients, and enacting and implementing legislation to ensure that the energy resources of Iraq benefit Sunni Arabs, Shia Arabs, Kurds, and other Iraqi citizens in an equitable manner.

(iv) Enacting and implementing legislation on procedures to form semi-autonomous regions.

(v) Enacting and implementing legislation establishing an Independent High Electoral Commission, provincial elections law, provincial council authorities, and a date for provincial elections.

(vi) Enacting and implementing legislation addressing amnesty.

(vii) Enacting and implementing legislation establishing a strong militia disarmament program to ensure that such security forces are accountable only to the central government and loyal to the Constitution of Iraq.

(viii) Establishing supporting political, media, economic, and services committees in support of the Baghdad Security Plan.

(ix) Providing three trained and ready Iraqi brigades to support Baghdad operations.

(x) Providing Iraqi commanders with all authorities to execute this plan and to make tactical and operational decisions, in consultation with U.S commanders, without political intervention, to include the authority to pursue all extremists, including Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias.

(xi) Ensuring that the Iraqi Security Forces are providing even handed enforcement of the law.

(xii) Ensuring that, according to President Bush, Prime Minister Maliki said `the Baghdad security plan will not provide a safe haven for any outlaws, regardless of [their] sectarian or political affiliation'.

(xiii) Reducing the level of sectarian violence in Iraq and eliminating militia control of local security.

(xiv) Establishing all of the planned joint security stations in neighborhoods across Baghdad.

(xv) Increasing the number of Iraqi security forces units capable of operating independently.

(xvi) Ensuring that the rights of minority political parties in the Iraqi legislature are protected.

(xvii) Allocating and spending $10 billion in Iraqi revenues for reconstruction projects, including delivery of essential services, on an equitable basis.

(xviii) Ensuring that Iraq's political authorities are not undermining or making false accusations against members of the Iraqi Security Forces.

There are several of these Benchmarks that even the American People would laugh at and I sometimes wonder what is in the water in DC. Let us take a look at the items in blue that were accomplished in spite of their design to fail. Don't tell The Troops they were supposed to fail.

(xvi) this one must have made some folks laugh when they wrote it and more than likely, the Iraqis were questioning the mental stability of American CONgress Critters. The Troop Surge was to make it possible that the rights of the minority political parties in the Iraqi Legislature were protected. Simply amazing and darn near impossible but, our Troops got it done. This one was sure to be impossible and that is why it was written.

(xviii) this one made me almost soil myself with laughter when I first read this many moons ago. It was written intentionally to fail...Ensuring that Iraq's political authorities are not undermining or making false accusations against members of the Iraqi Security Forces. Not even our own CONgress can comply with this. Just ask Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Jack Murtha, Barack Obama and many others. Remember Haditha? Remember "the war is lost"? Please. However, our Troops made it possible for this to take place and now perhaps you will understand why our Troops are so disappointed with our politicians and fellow citizens. Yet, they continued on and succeeded.

(iv) this one will never come to pass because the Iraqi people and the Iraqi government had stated so. This one was written for the American politicians that wanted to split Iraq up into three autonomous regions with Baghdad the central government. This would be similar to chopping the USA up into sections and the central government located in Billings, Montana or something similar. The American People would reject that and so did the Iraqi people. End of that discussion.

(xii) this one is laughable seeing that in the USA we have sanctuary cities yet, the Troops made it possible for this to take place.

The others are still in process with two nearing completion and one in trouble for pretty close to the same reason stated for (iv).

With all of the rhetoric flowing from gaping mouths in DC, I find it absolutely exciting that the Iraqi government has done more in two years than the American DNC led CONgress has been able to do. In 2007 alone, the DNC led CONgress has tried to lose the War In Iraq 41 times. 41! And what the DNCers consider to be the singularly most inane man in the known universe beat them at every step and every corner. If I was a member of the 9% CONgress, I would be bowing my head in shame and slink off into a corner. After a while, I would come out and beg the American People for forgiveness for being so wrong. Then again...

In the end, the score card for President Bush in regards to Victory in Iraq is Bush-41, DNC-0.

With Barack Obama having played his hand way too early and picking a DC insider such as Biden, thus negating the "Change" meme, the McCain-Palin Ticket is rocketing passed the DNC Ticket and thank God for that as well.

Note to Barack: Americans are sick and tired of hearing how "suck" the USA is and if you don't like the way America is, why not relocate to where you would feel more at home in a socialist environment you so yearn for...we don't want that here. See you in November. I hope you enjoy that Abyss of Obscurity.

We have been beneficiaries of a Secure Homeland for Seven Years, Barack. What have you accomplished?

Vote it up at Digital Journal...thanks

The Not So Reverend Wright - Sex Scandal - Imagine That

~Snooper~

Catch this earthquake at Memeorandum

Apparently, the Not So Reverend Wright has the Bill Cigar Bot Clinton Disease. It seems the Democrat Preacher can't keep his trousers zipped up either and has managed to destroy some lives down here in Dallas, TX. Unbelievable.

He almost wrecked Barack Obama's presidential dreams, and now firebrand pastor Jeremiah Wright has helped destroy a Dallas church worker's marriage - and her job, The Post has learned.

Elizabeth Payne, 37, said she had a steamy sexual affair with the controversial, racially divisive man of the cloth while she was an executive assistant at a church headed by a popular Wright protégé. [...]

SIGH.

On Those Iraqi Benchmarks

~Snooper~

In a speech today made by The One soon to be The Lonely One, he vainly and uselessly tried to counter President Bush's speech announcing Troop draw down in Iraq.

So, here is what I have to say about that by reposting several previous posts showing that Czarbie is a total fool and is clearly unfit to be a Senator, let alone the President of the United States.

Post 1 from ANO: (from 4/2008)
~Snooper~

For the record, the Iraqi Government has performed magnificently when compared to our very own CONgress. I researched a little and found that our CONgress passed the minimum wage waste of time that will do more damage in the long run and they changed the name of some Post Offices. They also emboldened the enemy and they enabled our own anarchists ands other anti-Americanist groups within our own borders. That isn't anything to be proud of, is it?

John Boehner has a great post up today:

While Democrats Ignore Progress, Iraqis Continue to Meet Benchmarks - Latest Dem Defeatist Rhetoric on Iraq Disproved As "Oudated and Invalid" by New Analysis of Iraqi Political Gains

I find that amazing that the Iraqis have accomplished more since the Troop Surge has paved the way than our CONgress has done in 2 years. Don't you think that is an amazing thing? Under the threats of death via whatever means is available to the terrorists in Iraq, they still made progress on the political front.

As General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker prepare to testify before Congress next week, yet another Democratic talking point is becoming more untenable by the day. As security on the ground in Iraq continues to improve, Democrats have predictably fallen back on their next line of defense: that the surge has failed because the Iraqis have not taken advantage of the "breathing room" created by the success of American and Iraqi troops in order to move forward with necessary political reconciliation. But that talking point has been discredited as both "outdated and invalid," according to a new analysis by Fred Kagan, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute:

"As the tally ... shows, the Government of Iraq has now met 12 out of the original 18 benchmarks set for it, including four out of the six key legislative benchmarks. It has made substantial progress on five more, and only one remains truly stalled. One can argue about the scoring of this or that benchmark, but the overall picture is very clear: before the surge began, the Iraqi Government had accomplished none of the benchmarks and was on the way to accomplishing very few. As the surge winds down, it has accomplished around two-thirds of them and is moving ahead on almost all of the remainder. To say in the face of these facts that Iraq has made 'little' or 'no' political progress is simply false-to-fact."

Go read the rest because it is a data bank of information the Leftinistra will not acknowledge.

Our dishonorable democrat leadership should hang their heads in shame for playing political football with our Troops and what they have accomplished for the Iraqi People.

~Snooper~

Wait a minute. I could have sworn the war was lost because the political solution didn't come first. Now that the Surge has worked and troops have started to come home, a sure-sign of success, the political solution is now being stressed...again.

I wish these folks would make up my mind. No matter. We always knew the Surge had to work before the political solution could even be attempted.

Post 3 from 7/12/07 (GWB speech on Benchmarks - 8 had been accomplished POST Surge)
[...]

The strategy that General Petraeus and the troops he commands are now carrying out is the best opportunity to bring us to this point. So I ask Congress to provide them with the time and resources they need. The men and women of the United States military have made enormous sacrifices in Iraq. They have achieved great things, and the best way to begin bringing them home is to make sure our new strategy succeeds.

The Secret Killing Key

~Snooper~

Oh good Lord!

The dramatic drop in violence in Iraq is due in large part to a secret program the U.S. military has used to kill terrorists, according to a new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodward.

The program -- which Woodward compares to the World War II era Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb -- must remain secret for now or it would "get people killed," Woodward said Monday on CNN's Larry King Live.

"It is a wonderful example of American ingenuity solving a problem in war, as we often have," Woodward said.

In "The War Within: Secret White House History 2006-2008," Woodward disclosed the existence of secret operational capabilities developed by the military to locate, target and kill leaders of al Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgent leaders.

National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, in a written statement reacting to Woodward's book, acknowledged the new strategy. Yet he disputed Woodward's conclusion that the "surge" of 30,000 U.S. troops into Iraq was not the primary reason for the decline in violent attacks. [...]

Whatever these miscreants and chronic malcontents can do to play down the MASSIVE successes of The Troop Surge, disparage our Troops and make the USA look like the Big Bad Wolf, these charlatans will do.

Somebody git a rope!

The Secret Weapon must remain a secret so the idiot writes about it and gets on public TV to say it must remain a secret.

The idiot.

Looks Like Nancy Pelosi Is In Deep Lack of Communion

~Snooper~

Recall if you will when Her Royal House Speaker stated that even the Pope had no earthly idea when human life began thus reinforcing  Obama's pay grade reach in regards to abortion.  Almost immediately, several Cardinals and Bishops stepped up and said what Nancy Pelosi stated was absolutely wrong.  Now, she is may pay even a steeper price and "heavenly rebuke".

From The Hill:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has accepted an invitation from San Francisco’s archbishop to discuss whether she should continue to receive communion at the Catholic Church in the wake of comments she made about abortion.

San Francisco Archbishop George H. Niederauer requested the meeting after receiving letters and e-mails from “many Catholics” expressing dismay over Pelosi’s remarks that the question of when life begins remained controversial within the church. He said many of those writing questioned whether Pelosi should be able to receive communion. [...]

As in the minds of most Democrat Party Leaders, their history span begins the day they were born and anything before that time just doesn't compute.  When Nancy Pelosi was asked about Barack's above his pay grade statement at the Saddleback forum, she rallied to his aid and pretty much confirmed that Barack was incapable of making difficult decisions under pressure but, we really didn't need her to confirm that which the American People already knew.

I am sure that Nancy will receive some admonitions from the Archbishop right before she recites a prescribed and pre-determined quantity of recitations of Hail Mary.  If she is a good girl and confesses her sins, she just may get some absolutions and be instructed to go out and sin no more.  Don't hold your breathe.  There is no Higher Power outside of the DNC so she will merely go through the motions, get her forgiveness and then promptly revert back to her insidious ways.

[...] “Accordingly, as her pastor, I am writing to invite her into a conversation with me about these matters. It is my obligation to teach forthrightly and to shepherd caringly, and that is my intent.

“Let us pray together that the Holy Spirit will guide us all toward a more profound understanding and appreciation for human life, and toward a resolution of these differences in truth and charity and peace,” Niederauer wrote. [...]

What we are witnessing before our very eyes the crumbling of the do as I say and not as I do empire of the DNC.  30+ years of Identity Politics and DNC Double Standards has been their undoing.  The American People have become grossly tiresome of the DNC and its leadership withy their usurpation of the various governmental authorities and used them to their own greedy motives.  And now, they have tried to dictate to the Catholic Church and this too has finally backfired.

It could not have happened to a worse gaggle of goblins.

The Damage We Have Wrought

~Snooper~

Identity Politics. We hear quite a bit about this but what exactly is Identity Politics? The all-knowing answer to that question is elusive even though the term has been used since the early 1970s.

According to some, identity politics is when an individual votes for someone for the sole purpose to advance an agenda. The same can be said in reverse as when a politician targets a specific "identity". Classifying such action as demographics covers this up. No matter the paint used to cover up an ugly process, it is still identity politics.

According to many, identity politics is the process in which interests of special groups are advanced because they have been allegedly oppressed and deserve more attention than any other group. Such loathsome attitudes appeal to the emotion and not the intellect and we see identity politics at work each and every day in the areas of sexual orientation (fancy terminology to disguise confused men and women), religious tendencies, gender, race, ethnic background and other identity crisis prone agendas.

In this current election cycle in 2008, we have witnessed Identity Politics tear a political party nearly in half with no unity in sight for the foreseeable future. We have a black man fighting a white woman for their party's race to the White House and apparently the black man won that race. This made the women angry. Had it been reversed, it would have made the blacks angry. And, why is that? Perhaps it is due to each "section" within the DNC thinking that the blacks have been oppressed more than the women. Neither argument is true but they believe it just the same.

Seeing that the black guy chose an old white guy as a running mate, we now have young white and black women upset. I haven't heard the reports of all the other hyphenated Americans' take on any of this but if Identity Politics is what drives elections, why wasn't there an Asian-American placed on either position for the White House? I am indeed curious. For that matter, why wasn't there a homosexual or at least a same-sex team selected? Weren't their feelings injured as well? Could it be that the DNC utilizes Identity Politics as a ruse just to justify for their tactics of lies and deceit in order to win? Is winning an election all that matters?

Among the many truisms in the DNC race to occupation of the White House, a particular truth sticks out like a sore thumb. The black guy wasn't a black guy but chose that identity for the sympathy vote. Barack is neither black nor white. He is a mixed race, a hybrid. So, a hybrid was running against a white woman. If he ran as a hybrid, he would have surely lost. He won by lying. I suppose now the DNC will have to invent another category for Identity Politics for the census roles and that new category will need to be listed as HYBRID. This new category can be used for any combination of hyphenated Americans.

The GOP escapes not the Identity Politics quagmire. Not now. At first I was excited about the pick of Sarah Palin. Not now. The GOP has apparently felt the need to plunge into the cesspool of Identity Politics to a) rub the face of the DNC into the mud by picking a woman and b) picking a woman in order to win an election and c) panic-picking a woman. The whole thing pisses me off.

Is the GOP bowing to the pressures of Identity Politics? Is the GOP now the Hard-On Party? Did the GOP choose Sarah Palin just to say to Barack, "AHA! GOTCHA!"? Or, did they do it just to win and was it a panic-pick? And please don't insult my intelligence by speaking to me about the cowardly term "demographic" because I saw what that really is decades ago. If I have to explain it to you it is too late.

What has happened to America? When did winning an election become the preeminent thrust? Didn't it used to be that candidates offered up their platforms and let the people decide? When did winning an election for the sake of winning an election override the betterment of the nation that many others and I fought for, bled for and died for? Did we fight to fix the quagmire that the politicians got us into just so they could take the credit and win an election, consequences be damned?

Have we sunk to such a level that the blood of the fallen has no merit or worth? Did we fight, bleed and die so the politicians can play their silly games with our national treasures?

There are so many questions and so few answers, at least viable answers.

As we have witnessed Identity Politics tear the DNC asunder, we are now witnessing history in the making in several ways. We see the DNC torn apart and we are now seeing the GOP adopt the Identity Politics meme. This is truly a sad day for America.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having said all of the above and knowing what I have known of John McCain since his first appearance in DC, I do know that he would not stoop to the lowly levels of Identity Politics. I cannot say that for all other members of the GOP or the followers thereof.

Judging from the reactions of the socialists that are hoping to ride the coattails of The One to the White House, they see this GOP VP pick as an Identity Politics issue. Let them think it.

Let it also be known that I will be watching for the tell-tale signs of IP within the GOP/RNC RINO clique of the Judas Iscariot Crowd.
