"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Obama is eminently electable. If he is an empty suit, he fooled the folks at the Harvard Law Review, the publishers and reviewers of his first book, the voters in Illinois, Iowa, and tomorrow, New Hampshire.
It is self defeating to deny obvious reality. This guy is good on his feet. Women are swooning. Youth are actually voting for the first time.
The reality is conservatives sustained a calamity in Iowa on both sides of the aisle. Obama is the rats’ most formidable potential candadate. We should fall on our knees everyday and pray for a Hillary nomination. The media will murder any Republican put up against the great black hope. No negative campaign will be tolerated.
If he is elected the media will extend the honeymoon for years. If Hillary is elected, there will be no honeymoon.
Attack Obama on policy and lack of experience (although that has not worked so far for Bitch Clinton) but spare us the bluster that Barack Obama is not the most formidable adversary we could face. He is no “empty suit” to the contrary he has keept his composure and come back from poll deficits. He is clearly charismatic and probably the best natural campainer out there.
Our party is facing a defeat in tsunami like proportions and we might not emerge from the political wilderness for a generation or at least it is too late for even a Reagen to undo the harm the liberals will do to our country. The demographics of America tell us that we might never emerge with any kind of identifiable coherent conservative philosophy. We can avert this calamity only if we rigorously face reality.
Self deception is our worst enemy.
The only example the leftist Broder gives of Obama’s “electability” is his presumed appeal to white voters in spite of his race. This is nonsense. Obama is an inexperienced, far-left legislator with no military background, no exposure to foreign affairs, and no executive experience. Add to that his racist church, his admitted cocaine use, and his polygamous, alcoholic, muslim father who he idolizes, and I’m just not seeing your garden-variety “electability” here.
