McCain's Boots Defeat Obama's Suits ...(Obama plays rhetorical games. McCain shoots from the hip)
Creators Syndicate ^ | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 08/13/2008 6:03:47 AM PDT by IrishMike

A man, they say, can be judged by his friends. If that's the case, then Barack Obama can surely be judged by George Clooney. The UK Daily Mail reported this week that the "Ocean's Eleven" actor regularly speaks with and text messages the presumptive Democratic nominee, advising him on everything from fashion to foreign policy. "George has been giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language and he also emails him constantly about policy, especially the Middle East," stated a Democratic Party insider. "George is pushing him to be more 'balanced' on issues such as U.S. relations with Israel. George is pro-Palestinian. And he is also urging Barack to withdraw unconditionally from Iraq if he wins."

Americans always prefer the cowboy candidate — the boots candidate — to the glitzy, arrogant urban type — the suits candidate. Americans like tough guys. We don't like candidates who consult with actors on foreign policy.

Americans prefer boots to suits for one simple reason: Americans prefer action to rhetoric. Arrogant bombast — the traditional preserve of the big city lawyers — is not our style. We like determined policy-making. We like candidates who take no crap rather than candidates who spout bull-crap.

............................................

Obama thrills to the cheers of Berliners but shuns visiting wounded troops if he cannot be accompanied by campaign staff and cameras. He hangs out with terrorists-cum-professors, racial radicals-cum-pastors and actors-cum-politicians, but he demeans rural voters as simpletons who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." He recommends that hard-working Americans fight high gas prices with tire gauges, but complains about the price of arugula.

Great tagline material in that article:

"We like candidates who take no crap rather than candidates who spout bull-crap."

Ben Shapiro is a good writer.

I believe he got married a few weeks ago.
