:(

Will anyone listen to this from the left?

Good points. Sen Obama prefers the likes of Ayers over Mr. Rogers.

This Sowell guy some sort of racist?

Racist.

Obama could have allied himself with all sorts of other people. But, time and again, he allied himself with people who openly expressed their hatred of America.

And now he's promising to meet unconditionally with more people who hate America. If I didn't know any better, I'd say there was a pattern here.

The most important thing they shared was an agenda. And they still do.

re: #1 DesertSage

Yeah, McCain is no Ronald Reagan, and he'll inherit a shaky economy and a lot of other threats, but at least we'll be able to look forward to President Palin!

We are sooo in trouble - not just the 0bama but also Congress.

re: #1 DesertSage

WTF? He's not going to win.

No one from the far left will listen.

Probably the "undecided" and "independents" won't listen either. Most of them don't see Mr. Sowell's articles or anything else from the right because they only watch/read the drive-bye media.

We are definitely in for a rough patch. I only hope it will only be four years.

re: #6 Sharmuta

It's racist to say black people have patterns.

Heck, it's worse than that, it's non-progressive, anti-empirical, right wing, prejudiced, close-minded, reactionary, maybe even Alaskan.

Thomas Sowell is a professor of economics, a prolific writer - and he is African American.

His "spreading the wealth around" comment should scare us all to death. Hate America, love socialism. There is still time... but is there a will to beat this madness?

We need to find & capitalize on our remaining sanity. These cold, hard, indisputable facts must be hammered til the end. We are living in an almost lost nation that doesn't realize what it will lose.
God bless this country.
/and help us

If you couple this with everything else, Obama's associations not only show his lack of judgment in his associations, it shows his true demeanor, theology, ideology and every other "ology" there is. He is a FAR LEFT MARXIST, prone to ANTI-AMERICAN tendencies.

This has to be reported on besides the blogosphere!

re: #10 Sharmuta

You got that right Sharm!

He has to be being a conservative, acting all white and all.
/////////

Exactamungo ... good to see a pundit say it like it is. Scratch that, Sowell is better than a pundit, he's a real intellectual. Something that is rare in this day and age.

Aside from the mobster these people hate America as she is today. The America they dream of is your worst PC nightmare...on crack. They truly believe that they have to restrict some of your rights to make things better for all.

Of course, it never really does turn out to be better when you restrict rights.; it only gets worse.

The imaginary (n)Obama is the real (n)Obama.

Why can't we have Sowell as the first black president. I guess he's not "black" enough.

Email I sent to the GOP:

I think that plumber that got Obama to admit that he wants to "spread the wealth around" is spot on!

How about an ad with him and maybe a few other small business owners?
Maybe some women business owners, like me, too!
Show American's who is really going to get hit by Obama's tax increase.

I think that most Americans think that it is the "brie eating" crowd who will be hit the hardest.

My husband and I own a concrete flat work company. We install driveways, basement floors, garages etc.
He leaves at 5 am and doesn't get home until usually around 8 pm. He works in hundred degree heat during the summer.
On our "days off" we work our farm, build fence and work cattle.
We don't wear suits, we wear t-shirts, jeans and work boots.

We routinely work 15 hour days either in our concrete flatwork business or on our farm.
Why should we be punished for working towards and earning the American dream?

This would be a powerful ad in my opinion.

I pray G*d that you are correct, but the media is out in full force trying to discourage McCain supporters and suppress the McCain vote.

Someone on here made a great point (Mama Winger? probably!) that all of Barry's associations fall into one of three categories - Terrorists, Radicals (Muslim and otherwise) or dead. Her question was why is that? Why no one normal that he walked to school with or something? That is what we need to start asking repeatedly.

When you are on the team and down 3 points, runs, goals, in the last quarter you don't walk off the field. You play harder.

If you know Sowell''s history, he used to be a socialist when he was young. He knows what these people are all about.

Obama could have allied himself with all sorts of other people. But, time and again, he allied himself with people who openly expressed their hatred of America. No amount of flags on his campaign platforms this election year can change that.

Just as John Kerry could not cover up his 1970's anti-military "Genghis Khan" tirade.

I believe Bush won the last election only thanks to the work of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth. Unfortunately, in 2008 we have no corresponding group.

That does not bode well.

Well, let's see - we've only got a crazed priest bellowing in fake Ebonics, a Commie Anarchist bomber and his fork-loving spouse, an America-hating preacher, and a financial ripoff artist; no wonder the average voter isn't worried; looks like we've got a lot of Alfred E.

There's McCain's talking point for tomorrow night.... and a damn good bumper sticker, come to think of it.

Why much of the public and the media have been so mesmerized by the words and the image of Obama, and so little interested in learning about the factual reality, was perhaps best explained by an official of the Democratic Party: "People don't come to Obama for what he's done, they come because of what they hope he can be."

She: "I just know I can change him."

This is a great piece. Thanks for posting it

A John McCain campaign ad you'll never see
This stuff is on the table for free, GOP.

"What Might Have Been" campaign spot
[montage of authentic prom night photos circa 1970, ideally with young men in uniform, or someone flipping through an album of same.]

NARRATOR
One night in March, 1970, hundreds of young servicemen and their dates gathered for a dance at Fort Dix.

[one by one the photos are lit in a corner, curl up and burn. If home movies are used, employ oozing burn effect of a hot projector bulb.]

NARRATOR
A terrorist group planned to set off a pipe bomb at that dance.
A second bomb full of nails was set to go off minutes later, to kill and maim rescuers.
Had they succeeded, it might have killed more people than the Oaklahoma City Bombing.
Killed more young men than John Wayne Gacy.
Killed more young women than Ted Bundy.

[photos of Oklahoma, Gacy (with Jimmy Carter's wife) and Bundy]

NARRATOR
The plan to bomb the Fort Dix dance failed.

But the group killed and maimed others, in their self-declared War on America.

The leader of the group that planned those bombings was never punished.
He never apologized for his crimes.
He still says his only regret was that he didn't kill more innocent people.

Instead he reinvented himself as a teacher, an author, a pillar of his community.

The kind of man who helps choose future leaders.

The leader of the group that planned to kill hundreds of young soldiers and their dates at Fort Dix in 1970 helped launch Barack Obama's political career.

On November 4, Bill Ayers, an unrepentant criminal,
will vote for Barack Obama as President of the United States.

What about you?

If we don't do something, these are the Obama youth "leaders" of tomorrow. I shot this video of Obamatrons outside the McCain/Palin rally in Bexley, OH a couple of weeks ago. Why exactly are they protesting? They do know that Bush isn't running for President, don't they? They do know that McCain isn't President, right? I guess they're protesting that someone has the audacity to run against Obama.

re: #31 CIA Reject

I pray G*d that you are correct, but the media is out in full force trying to discourage McCain supporters and suppress the McCain vote.

Dan Rather I think in the first Bush win called Florida for Gore before the polls had closed in the Florida panhandle. The effort was strong then also. The polls were slanted. People were puzzled why the polls were anti Bush but he still won. Exit polls were wrong also. It's the Dem playbook, lie, cheat, and steal in an election then come out and call out the Republicans for the same. It's a way to lose an election for the Dems and come out ahead morally. IF they win then great.

I just donated some money to the McCain campaign, and I made some phone calls on his behalf. I went to McCain's website and created an account for myself. I then volunteered to make calls. The website provides you will the numbers and the script. You have to provide the phone. I'm sitting in Chicago making calls to Wisconsin and Ohio. I have never done this before, and I was nervous. However, the stakes are too big. I got over my nervousness and I engaged in some good conversations. I think I may have persuaded one person out of the 20 I called. That person was in Ohio.

I think most people understand this quite easily. It does matter who you associate and work with and we know it's irratating the Obama campaign. It's just that the lapdogs in the media won't let these stories gain any traction (of course the economic problems and McCain's contradictions on this haven't helped).

We have 5-7 million PUMAs- hillary supporters, and you better believe they vote. We have ACORN registrations getting tossed out, and people are concerned about this issue.

O'Reilly and his two blond buddies just did Acorn to inform the American people about it. They covered Acorn's sources of funding, but at no time did they state that Barack Obama gave Acorn $800,000.

The word "fraud" did not come up to my recollection.

The general thrust of the report is that Acorn tries to enfranchise poor people but they're just not too careful about things. One comes away from the report without having any specific complaint against Acorn.

re: #65 daledog

Great to hear, Daledog -- good work! I have been going in to the local McCain/Palin Headquarters, and have been making phone calls to those Republicans who were sent Absentee ballots. Make about 115 calls in 3 hours, and some good conversations.

However, today, an interesting thing happened. A few of the people I contacted were extremely irritable and said they had already been contacted 2 or 3 times already. This puzzled me, as this assignment came to us from State HQ in Tallahassee and we're the only ones handling it. I began to wonder if this wasn't the beginning of Comrade Obama's "get in their faces" campaign, directed at GOP and Independents. I spoke to the people in charge of our effort, and they mentioned they were getting calls on Saturday complaining about very aggressive and unpleasant callers.

We have decided to ask people if they can remember any names and any other details and if they still have the calling number stored in their phone memories and to give us the information for possible forwarding to the campaign's attorneys in Washington.

eventually it will be do as comrade Obama says or go to reeducation camp.

Hillbuzz:

Look at the party ID samples in every poll that “worries” you and see what the party ID breakdown is: the national breakdown should be 39% Dem, 35% Republican, and 26% Independent. The polls that “worry” Eeyores have Democrats at 45% or above in terms of party ID breakdown — with Republicans as low as 20%. In the last 20 years, Democrats have only had a 4% party ID advantage over Republicans. Why on Earth would that historic fact change in 2008 — and swing to a 25% or more Democrat advantage? That’s ridiculous. And everything Eeyores run around with, crazed over, is equally ridiculous if they’d just take the time to critically think through it.

Read the whole thing. They may be Hillary supporters, but it doesn't mean they're wrong about everything. Please bear in mind- there are 5-7 million people just like this out there waiting to vote N0bama.

Another thing for the Eeyores to ponder:

0bama has to pick up a Bush state, while Mac needs to hold them. I do not see this happening.

Sharm, did Bush take New Hampshire in '04? I can't remember. Also, what was the final ECV count?

Iowa's evangelicals need to go to the polls in large numbers if we're gonna hold on to that state. Only 7 EC votes, but still....

Ok, I've got to confess: I'm often mistaken for a moonbat by other moonbats because of my education, profession, and "refined" tastes. They assume because I share some interests I share their politics. I also don't think that others who have different tastes are inferior.

I bought the Freddoso book this weekend it was hard to find in the Seattle University Bookstore. Only two copies that I could see hidden behind an election display. Lot's of Obama displayed content, a medium amount of McCain material. The Palin biography was out front though. Plenty of Howard Zinn material for the college students.

I'd buy it ..but I don't have that kind of extra change floating around....

re: #110 Sharmuta

Another thing for the Eeyores to ponder:

0bama has to pick up a Bush state, while Mac needs to hold them. I do not see this happening.

Also...
Obama's support is disproportionately composed of young people who have no track record for voting. Many are likely to see the polls and decide The One doesn't need their vote to win.

The Bradley Effect is another wild card. This is for POTUS, not a mayor. I'm betting that there are many blue collar Dem voters that won't pull the lever for Obama because he's -- well, whatever the hell he is. Not pretty but potentially a decisive factor in the outcome.

The race is still close -- probably much closer than the polls suggest, and small factors can tip it to McCain.

Another thing to keep in mind concerning the polls is democrat registrations are higher because of 1) ACORN and 2) a lot of republicans changed party affiliations to join Operation Chaos.

Also- not even the 0bamabots are buying the polls anymore:

That's not what lots of smart folks in the Obama campaign think. They believe Obama's poll numbers are artificially high, McCain's are artificially low, this race will come down to two or three points, and anything could happen.

ROAR PUMAS ROAR!

Amongst the many gaps in the BHO narrative, this one has puzzled me for some time:

How was it that Obama out of nowhere became a prof (lecturer more likely) of Constitutional law?

Seems to me that in order for this to happen, one might look at a candidate who has written extensive legal papers on various Constitutional issues - none exist; or, you might seek someone who has taught somewhere with distinction for a number of years - he did not, or, you might have friends (allies) who just made it happen.

Just curious, but has H. Kurtz uncovered the fell hand of Ayers behind the curtain in the selection of Hussein to his teaching post?

To Obama and the Democratic Party:

Mene, mene tekel u'parsin

Well, unfortunately more people are listening to the MSM than Tom Sowell.

It's not looking good. I usually don't believe all of these MSM polls, but look at Fox? How do we explain that one?

Also, when I talk to relatives, business contacts and co workers, they all seem to be suffering from "Obama Brainwashing". I asked one young woman who worked with me, who used to distrust Obama, why she now plans to vote for him. She actually said "I don't know. I just like him." Can you believe that? Her husband said "Well, McCain's too old." What? As if that's a good reason!

So, we've got people voting for Obama who can't even give us a good reason. Why should I keep banging my head against the wall when no one seems to care anymore?

Not sure if I did this link right, but James T. Harris, a Conservative

Information Infrastructure Specialist
White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
(Government Agency; 1001-5000 employees; Government Administration industry)
1993 — 1996 (3 years)
After a post-doctoral appointment at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government I joined the Clinton Administration in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. At the start I managed the inter-agency Information Infrastructure Task Force, ghost wrote for Vice President Gore, prepared Congressional testimony and worked generally on the commercialization and privatization of the Internet. In 1994 I argued within the White House that the best way to legitimize and validate the Internet as a place for commerce and democracy was to build a large scale Web site. Out of this was born the first White House Web site (1994) and its version 2.0 (1996). Called “easily one of the best sites on the Net” by Hotwired, the site was innovative for its use of image mapping and the first guide to government services.

re: #187 erisldysnomia

I thought the petition to suspend the election here was good.

Just found this one ([Link: www.postponetheelection.com...]

Any spelling errors in this one?

Due to the recently-discovered rampant voter registration fraud throughout the nation, we, the people of the United States of America, in order to preserve, protect and defend our voting rights and our rights to due process under the Constitution of the United States, including any/and all other rights thereto arising from the common law and/or any applicable Federal and/or state statues, do hereby petition the Petitionees that the National election, as well as all state and local elections likewise affected, be postponed, delayed and rescheduled until such time as a proper assessment of the damage to the entire credibility of the voting outcome of the election can be reliably determined.

It would be a gross perversion of justice, fairness and the Constitution to allow the election to go forward knowing fully well that there have been thousands of felonies, if not tens of thousands of felonies, purposely commited to deprive legitimate voters of their rights to a fair and honest election and to steal the election for the Democrat party and the Obama campaign. This has been a criminal conspiracy to steal this election and those responsible must be identified and brought to justice and the damage to the integrity of our voter registration system must be corrected prior to holding the election, or all future elections will be forever tainted with distrust.

The purpose of this petition is to peacefully avoid any civil unrest that very might well occur in reaction to what will surely be perceived as a stolen election, were it to go forward with known and rampant fraud destroying its credibility. The American people are so disgusted with government's absolute failure to perform its duties responsibly that public unrest has reached the point at which further failures of government to respond to the people's will is not going to be taken likely, especially if the government goes ahead with what is already known to be an election which is known ahead of time to be totally unreliable due to the rampant voter registration fraud purposefully intended to steal the election.

We, the people of this great nation. believe that this petition is extremely important in this emergency situation in order to satisfactorily resolve this matter quickly.The American people as petitioners believe that, given the circumstances, a postponement of the election is the most prudent course of action to preserve the peace and guarantee the survivability of our Republic as we know it.

In the event that the Petitionees choose to ignore this petition, it is assured that the American people will rise up and seek every means possible to seek legal remedies that will most likely embroil this great nation in turmoil for years to come until the American people are able to reform this woefully ineffective, incompetent and nonresponsive government and the officials who have caused it to be so terribly dysfunctional.

We, the undersigned Petitioners, do hereby respectively petition the Petitionees to postpone, delay and reschedule the National election, as well as any others similarly affected, for the reasons as stated hereinabove.

Whoa baby.

Makes sense. I've got a Staff Sergeant Marine son who needs to decide on whether to re-enlist this coming January -- that's the hidden reason I asked the question.
If he decides not to re-enlist (which is hard to believe), he'll see roughly the same economic conditions his dad did in 1972 coming out of the Navy.

Difficult choices.

I wonder how this would have all been different if Mike Ditka had opposed BHO in Illinois instead of Alan Keyes.

I would have dumped the Leslie Nielson part altogether, it was completely unnecessary. Then I would have followed the "Christmas Carol" structure more closely. This movie could have been both funnier AND more serious and touching.

Thanks for the good wishes!
Yes, I always wonder how they reconcile Obama's complete lack of accomplishment with criticizing Palin's record. But then, rational thought is not one of their strong points.

The growing list of worst America-haters endorsing Obama, is mindboggling for anyone who takes 5 seconds to think about it. Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, Hamas, Kim Jong-Il, Castro, Ortega... The list goes on, yet so many people choose to ignore this. They spend days researching the next car to buy, not to mention the next house, but somehow assume it's okay to spend 5 min researching the background of the person who have an enormous impact on everything in America. Socialism in its ugliest shape is coming to them if Obama gets elected, but they'll realize this only when it's too late.

But there are still many eyes we can open before the election. Obama keeps going up in polls because people listen to the huge propaganda machine–and take its lies at face value. They don't go to sites like LGF. We need to use more of conversation changers. More of attention grabbers that make an impact in 5 sec. And THEN those whose opinions still can be changed may start reading more. Obama’s side if excellent in creating visuals that go straight to the emotions level, bypassing logic. Just take a look at this site know what I’m talking about.

Can you name a single memorable anti-Obama poster that speaks to the center-leaning Democratic voter? I can't. To fill this gap, I've started a repository accompanied by a blog and a Facebook page that are designed fill this gap. Please take a look--it will take you only a couple of minutes to form your opinion and decide whether you'd like to use it. Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

One got called in for her lab test. The other one got into it with three men who were discussing how they wished they had bought stock Friday. She told them she was going to pull her money out of the stock market. They asked what she planned to do with it and she said, "Convert it to cash and keep it at home." At that point, the elderly woman she appeared to be a companion for got called in for her lab test. The men were in hysterics after she left.

That these so-called major media outlets don't carry his columns is just further proof that their impending deaths are self-inflicted.

Sowell is confined to small circulation in the media and by his high standards and the truth. As can be seen in this excerpt from one of his books, The Vision of the Anointed. Prescient for how this election will be decided.

I just made up this new poll. ACORN did a poll of dead voters. Obama lead in that poll by 14 points. Coincidence?

More from Sowell,

The story of Obama's political career is not a pretty story. He won his first political victory by being the only candidate on the ballot— after hiring someone skilled at disqualifying the signers of opposing candidates' petitions, on whatever technicality he could come up with.

It's not looking good. I usually don't believe all of these MSM polls, but look at Fox? How do we explain that one?

Also, when I talk to relatives, business contacts and co workers, they all seem to be suffering from "Obama Brainwashing". I asked one young woman who worked with me, who used to distrust Obama, why she now plans to vote for him. She actually said "I don't know. I just like him." Can you believe that? Her husband said "Well, McCain's too old." What? As if that's a good reason!

So, we've got people voting for Obama who can't even give us a good reason. Why should I keep banging my head against the wall when no one seems to care anymore?

I'll let you in on one little secret, fox = msm. don't kid yerself about fox. murdoch already has stated he'd like obama to win.they're in the tank for obama also.bet on it.

Here are some of Alinsky's rules for radicals. Just to take a page from the Obama's political handbook.

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.

Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people.
The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.

Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.

Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

There's talk in my branch that quite a few military personnel will walk is Hussein gets into office.... I personally would not serve with this fu@#$in IDIOT in charge.....

I as USAF during Carter, I gladly walked away. Part of me wishes I stuck it out till Reagan.

The Obama lemmings would believe it if you told them that McCain was out there on the grassy knoll in Dallas.

Can't convince the brain-dead. Best approach is get everyone out to vote.

Not if the parasite is a Goa'uld. I don't think a Goa'uld can infect another Goa'uld!

AH will retire at his 20 (~2 years) rather than stay in despite being told he has been pegged as a potential CSM. Though he debates back and forth that he just might get out anyway, so I don't know if its a credible threat.

re: #226 Mich-again

You are pronouncing this jenjhis, right?

A large part of it is because lots of people are still absolutely clueless about just how far around the bend the MSM has gone. Even Fox News sucks almost all the time ... I hear O'Reilly just did a piece on the ACORN voting fraud scandal that ignored Obama's connections to ACORN, ignored the $800,000 gift his campaign gave to ACORN, and basically wrote the whole thing off as a distraction rather than the grave threat to our election process that it is.

But my point is, many people honestly believe that if Obama was so awful, surely the MSM would tell them. I mean, how could they pass up the chance to report such Earth-shaking news ... "Inexperienced, Indecisive, Underachieving, Flip-Flopping, Truth-Challenged, Narcissistic, BAIPA-rejecting, Possibly Racist, Radical America-hating Socialist Could be Our Next President! Oh, and by the way, his tax cuts are bogus and his economic plan will probably bankrupt the country in 3 years."? Since the media doesn't, they figure anything negative they might hear about him from other sources must be right-wing smears and propaganda.

People think MSM "vetting" and the primary process will ensure that only reasonably qualified individuals can possibly get nominated to run for President on a mainstream party ticket. The media refuses to inform them that the would-be emperor has no clothes.

re: #205 Dr. Slogan

The growing list of worst America-haters endorsing Obama, is mindboggling for anyone who takes 5 seconds to think about it. Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, Hamas, Kim Jong-Il, Castro, Ortega... The list goes on, yet so many people choose to ignore this. They spend days researching the next car to buy, not to mention the next house, but somehow assume it's okay to spend 5 min researching the background of the person who have an enormous impact on everything in America. Socialism in its ugliest shape is coming to them if Obama gets elected, but they'll realize this only when it's too late.

But there are still many eyes we can open before the election. Obama keeps going up in polls because people listen to the huge propaganda machine–and take its lies at face value. They don't go to sites like LGF. We need to use more of conversation changers. More of attention grabbers that make an impact in 5 sec. And THEN those whose opinions still can be changed may start reading more. Obama’s side if excellent in creating visuals that go straight to the emotions level, bypassing logic. Just take a look at this site know what I’m talking about.

Can you name a single memorable anti-Obama poster that speaks to the center-leaning Democratic voter? I can't. To fill this gap, I've started a repository accompanied by a blog and a Facebook page that are designed fill this gap. Please take a look--it will take you only a couple of minutes to form your opinion and decide whether you'd like to use it. Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

Is aggreeing with him racist according the the libs? Hmmmm.

Critics of Senator Barack Obama make a strategic mistake when they talk about his "past associations." That just gives his many defenders in the media an opportunity to counter-attack against "guilt by association."

The McCain campaign makes constant strategic mistakes like this.

That lame 'Not Ready To Lead' always got my goat. As if he could be ready in another four years. It also only reinforces Obama's youth and change message.

And now McCain is undercutting the long overdue Ayers etc. attacks by telling everybody Obama is really a decent fellow and nothing to be scared of.

re: #110 Sharmuta

Another thing for the Eeyores to ponder:

0bama has to pick up a Bush state, while Mac needs to hold them. I do not see this happening.

Something else to consider, the pundits sure aren't, is there is at least one "True Blue" state that is not at all a slam-dunk will vote for Obama state; Washington State. I believe there are a few others that the pundits are not factoring in when they blather about the "battleground states", which suits me just fine. Will make the victory of McCain all the sweeter for the unexpected b!tch-slap Obama gets.

re: #139 JustMyView

All the projections are that Obama will pick up several Bush states. See the projected electoral maps below.

re: #32 ArmyWife

Someone on here made a great point (Mama Winger? probably!) that all of Barry's associations fall into one of three categories - Terrorists, Radicals (Muslim and otherwise) or dead. Her question was why is that? Why no one normal that he walked to school with or something? That is what we need to start asking repeatedly.

Well, allied and sold out to just about any Socialist Moonbat Ass Clown with a check in hand or votes in their pocket... A man who has made a career of sucking off the tit of our Government for 20+ years, TWENTY+ YEARS of social(ist) activism glossed over with smooth speeches and slick marketing.

Makes me sick to my stomach that this is even a contest.

re: #166 Syrah

Of course it is good to be a Lizard.

Only the best are Lizards.

Thanks for posting that. It helps to put into perspective how some people in this election know almost nothing about why they are voting for Obama and how they will claim to support things that they would just as easily have said they would have opposed if the question were asked differently.

I heard the excerpt. The people responding were sand-poundingly stupid......supporting Obama's Right to Life position for instance...... They are truly mind-numbed robots.......

7 Years ago it seemed that the only thing that could wakeup the American people to the threat of global terrorism was a direct attack on the Homeland. So on Sept. 11th it happened and most people were gung ho and really wanted to take it to the terrorists. Now, American has fallen back into the same old lackadaisical attitude on terrorism and a multitude of other serious issues. From time to time America has always needed some disaster to wake itself up. Perhaps it is caused by the fact that America is no prosperous and the abundance and wealth is mind blowing compared to other countries. Then, most Americans fall back to sleep, toss and turn a few times and just forget about the nightmare that just occurred.

This election is no different. I really want McCain to win but I have a very funny feeling about all of this. I never believed the Gore or Kerry hype and laughed at most Dem pundits when they said they were going to win. This time is different. There is a strange wind blowing across America and it's called basic ignorance. Ultimately, good will prevail and things will get back on even keel, however, I believe we are in a world of sh*t for sometime to come and the only people we can blame for it are ourselves. Yeah, we can blame the 911 terrorists for the act the perpetrated against us but our ignorance and complacency were two other major factors in such a bad thing happening to our beloved country.

Yeah complacency and ignorance...looks like they are rearing their ugly heads again.

Gee, I thought I heard this on CBS?NBC?ABC?CNN?MSNBC last night - I think ? NO ?
"Obama crowds call for the lynching of palin"

Obama came too late to pal around with Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky and Mao.

Ayers, Pfleger, Rezko and Wright are his shabby substitutes.

Crypto-Marxist crybaby.

Its as if the country has been hypnotized. A man that had his own children baptized by a racist anti American thug lunatic is said to have the ability to walk on water. Leading in the polls? Really? You are right, there is a strange wind blowing across the country. Perhaps every 30 years or so the country needs a shot of misery to remind us all why we are blessed to have been born in the greatest country in the history of the world.

It's a long way to the election, folks, don't despair. In politics a week is like a year and anything can happen between now and the first Tuesday in November. I have not given up on McCain and Palin coming through, and I think Obama might just step in it one time too many or cause too many doubts IF the GOP is smart. They might still win, and some say there will be big GOP gains. We'll see.

re: #26 Typicalwhitey

Your work schedule shows that you are selfish and uncaring. When the 0bamunist takes power, he will re-distribute your ill gotten gains to people in the pee-cee "victim" class, whos state of affairs is NEVER TO BE DISCUSSED! (sarc)

I respect Thomas Sowell.

I hang out with the younger crowd and the only reason I can understand why they are so into BO is because he is young. Most these kids just really don't trust older people whatsoever and that is a huge driving factor in his popularity as superficial as that is.

re: #249 leftover54

I think the article you linked to is satire. Let's keep our shot groups tight, lizards!

I began reading Dr. Sowell in college, he had as great an impact on my intellectual development as any professor I had. I wish I could get more of my students to read him (or read period).

Just a OT hypothesis regarding the polls. Since most of the polls showing Obama ahead of McCain by 8-11% pts are widely oversampling Democrates by upwards of 20% the actual gap between Obama and McCain among likely voters must be narrower. Lets be very conservative and put it at a 3% pt swing leaving the gap at 5-8% pts. Then factoring in the "Bradley" effect (which is actually what is known in Statistics as the "Hawthorne Effect" where the respondent gives the interviewer a response he or she believes the interviewer wants or will look favorably on) which historically has been around 5 or more % pts. (Please note this has been the case in the primaries, caucases require open declarations of support this "nullifying" the effect since those suseptible to the Hawthorne Effect do not have an opportunity to recast their response with out the statistical impact of the interviewer) If we again give the "Bradley" effect a conservative value of 3% pts the Obama lead further shrinks to 2-5% pts. Then factoring in the youth vote (or lack thereof) we may see an interesting anomoly occur. Since the MSM is pushing the line of an inevitable Obama victory over McCain one must ask whether this "foregone conclusion" will have an impact on turnout and upon which portions of the electorate will be impacted the most. Given the substantial edge Obama holds among the youth vote, and that votes propencity to not show up on election day relative to older voters, especially if they do not think their vote matters (and the youth vote is completely clueless regarding the lower ballot races, referendums, and initiatives.) If the MSM's trumpetting of an inevitiable Obama victory suppresses the 18-25 demographic so Obama sees a loss of 2% pts in this "key" demographic then Obama's edge shrinks further to 0-3% pts, a statistical dead heat. Since we making conservative adjustments to the original MSM polls that should be well within the range of the original skewing by the MSM it may be well within statistical probability McCain/Palin will win the Presidential election given the current polling data. Just a Hypothesis :)

re: #223 twincitiesgirl

Have you read about John Kerry possibly being Secretary of Defense?

YOU RANG?

We have been disappointed with most of our so called conservative commentators over the past months. I will say that I have never, in 30 years of reading Sowell, ever felt that he was anything but ROCK SOLID.

Mr Sowell has my respect and admiration.
