One Fraud the Wingtards Couldn’t Pull Off
The people that brought you the moronic monkey thought you’d just love a second helping, especially if it had a rack and legs. So they basically strong-armed McKeating into taking Caribou Barbie on as his running mate, despite Johnny’s friendship with “Holy Joe” LIEberman and the possibilities that Tom Ridge might bring with him to the McKeating ticket. I am sure Steve Schmidt told Johnny to relax, and watch how Sarahpoleon energized the Goppers.
Certainly, at first glance it looked like Schmidt, Rush Limbaugh, and the chattering classes of Wingtardia nailed this one. Caribou Barbie gave a speech at the Gopper Convention that was wildly successful among the ‘tard base, and talked about in the press as some kind of “turning point” for McKeating’s sluggish campaign. It seemed at the time that only those of us NOT in the media noticed that the speech seemed very scripted, and Sarahpoleon herself seemed to be playing a role. As a former sportscaster, she was used to reading from teleprompters. How would she do when the script was taken away?
We all know the answer to that now. But I suspect even those of us who doubted she had the experience necessary for a VP nod were stunned (I confess I, personally, was dumbfounded) to discover just how utterly empty Caribou Barbie’s head is. The present wingtard myth about the McKeating campaign not “letting Sarah be Sarah” has to be taken into context and placed alongside those occasions when they DID let her run her mouth; the Couric and Gibson interviews, in particular, “let Sarah be Sarah,” and it was anything but good. Caribou Barbie has also been herself most of the time on the campaign trail, and she’s revealed an uninformed, nakedly racist hack ideologue to the world. Her choice for the VP slot has rightly become the top issue that people cite when they say they are reluctant to vote for Johnny. His judgment on serious matters is obviously not to be trusted, and it would be hard to argue otherwise.
A growing number of voters have concluded that Senator John McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, is not qualified to be vice president, weighing down the Republican ticket in the last days of the campaign, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major factor influencing their vote for president, and those voters broadly favor Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee.
And in a possible indication that the choice of Ms. Palin has hurt Mr. McCain’s image, voters said they had much more confidence in Mr. Obama to pick qualified people for his administration than they did in Mr. McCain.
After nearly two years of campaigning, a pair of hotly contested nominating battles, a series of debates and an avalanche of advertisements, the nationwide poll found the contours of the race hardening in the last days before the election on Tuesday. Twelve percent of the voters surveyed said they had already voted. These were among the findings:
¶Mr. Obama is maintaining his lead, with 51 percent of likely voters supporting him and 40 percent supporting Mr. McCain in a head-to-head matchup.
¶Some perceptions of race are changing, with a marked increase in the number of people who say they believe that white and black people have an equal chance of getting ahead in America today.
¶Mr. McCain’s focus on taxes, including his talk about Joe the Plumber, seems to be having some effect, as a growing number of voters now say Mr. McCain would not raise their taxes.
¶Eighty-nine percent of people view the economy negatively, and 85 percent think the country is on the wrong track.
¶Mr. Obama continues to have a significant advantage on key issues like the economy, health care and the war in Iraq.
The survey found that opinions of Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain had hardened considerably, as 9 out of 10 voters who said they had settled on a candidate said their minds were made up, and a growing number of them called it “extremely important” that their candidate win the election. Roughly half of each candidate’s supporters said they were “scared” of what the other candidate would do if elected. Just 4 percent of voters were undecided, and when they were pressed to say whom they leaned toward, the shape of the race remained essentially the same.
Bolstered by the fiscal crisis and deep concerns about the direction of the country, Mr. Obama has seemed to solidify the support he has gained in recent months. When likely voters were asked whom they would vote for in an expanded field that included several third-party candidates, Mr. Obama got the support of 52 percent of them, Mr. McCain 39 percent, Bob Barr 1 percent, and Ralph Nader 2 percent.
Let’s talk candidly for a minute about why Caribou Barbie was forced on Johnny.
The ‘tards have loved having Chimpy in the Oval Office, and so have the ultrarich. Chimpy is an idiot, and the oligarchy has been able to steal on a scale unimaginable even ten years ago. Sarahpoleon, by all appearances, is an even bigger idiot, interested in little beyond getting her ass kissed. The oligarchy would have, upon the demise of McKeating, the most pliant puppet they’ve ever had installed in the Oval Office. It is my belief that they do not expect Johnny to serve out one term, and they were going to slip their puppet in through the back door, since it is obvious they’d never get her in through the front door.
The best laid plans sometimes go awry. I really don’t believe the “Joe the Plumber” bullshit is playing to anyone but the wingtard base, but a bullshit premise has never stopped the MSM (owned by oligarchs) from trying to make McKeating’s case any way they can. They are going to give it one last big push though, so none of us can become compliant. I have already voted. Maybe you should too. You never know who might show up on TV this weekend.
