This is a truly, truly, awesome post. One of the best of the blogosphere this year.

I'll have to wait till I get home to see it.

If only the msm were as dedicated to the truth as these bloggers, the country would be so much better off in this election as well as in general.

Damn you, msm bastards!

young, conservative journalists.................someone pinch me!

Bloggers doing the work the MSM refuses to do.

Hope HA will keep this posted until election day.

When all else fails, just listen to what Obama says and what he is prepared to do.

Listen to what his supporters and even his running mate says about Obama and his lack of experience and that our nation's enemies will test us to get a measure of the man (which I find sorely lacking based on already available materials).

His policy prescriptions are straight out of the Carter playbook (and how exactly did that work out - we got Iran, islamofascism, and the misery index for our trouble).

His views are anything but mainstream, but he's such a smooth talker (or so they say) that the media glosses over his leftist policies with all manner of hope and change.

Great gathering all together of many of the posts and issues we've been covering and discussing here at LGF for the past month or so. It's nice having it compiled into one salvo of arms to send on to others!

re: #24 calvin coolidge

Katherine Ham is an exceptional young lady.

Great article. I don't think it would hurt to spend a bit more time on his associates, though. And in addition to his lack of accomplishments, they should also mention his spectacular failures (Chicago Annenberg Challenge and his work with corrupt real estate developers who built substandard apartments for the poor and failed to maintain them.

This piece on Hot Air proves that Obama is disqualified to preserve and secure Our Lives, Our Liberty, and Our Pursuit of Happiness.

Go thru item by item - it is all there.

re: #32 Killgore Trout

Katherine Ham is an exceptional young lady.

Easy on the eyes too.

This article is great, but probably the worst and most contradictory part is when the authors state: "What follows is by no means comprehensive", while the title states: "The comprehensive argument against Barack Obama"

Nuance.

This probably belongs on another thread - somewhere - but it seems important:

Is it time to scrap the Electoral College?

And, one of those quoted thinks there's a way to get around that old Constitution thing.

Seems to me that if this happens, it'd be the last time you'd see a candidate outside of the major cities.

Oh yeah, and states like Wyoming would be screwed...don't think those boys would like that much.

may I suggest that if you are forwarding this to your beloved moonbats that you retitle it "The Case FOR Barack Obama"..this way they may actually begin to watch it and mebbe it'll stick...

Perfect timing with Obama up 99.8%-0.2% in latest poll

Good for Hot Air.

re: #37 subsailor68

This is big. When an outlet as reliably lefty as MSNBC runs a story like this it means they think it's going to be very, very close.

No one can deny his ambition. In fact, if Obama wins on November 4th—and serves one full term in the Oval Office—the Presidency of the United States would be the longest consecutively held full-time job he has ever held without seeking another.

Amazing when I actually read, in words better thought out than mine, the crux of the matter. Obama doesn't have experience of running even a dog pound, just running his many campaigns for ever higher office. And his stick-to-it-ness when it comes to holding a job does not speak well for him. His voting record speaks even less. Every legitimate criticism of him from his more than just a guy in my neighborhood relationship with William Ayers, to sitting in a racist pew of a racist church listening to a racist pastor spew for over 20 years, making sure he not only tithed personally, but managed to secure funds through his other resume bullet point, his work on the CAC and the Woods Fund, while his wife conveniently doubled her already large salary when Illinois Senator Obama secured funds for her employer, to working with ACORN, a group which, besides voter registration fraud, pushed for low-income, high-risk housing loans, and Obama, who as a lawyer, backed them up, are all "distractions." This guy feels entitled, arrogant (and looks the part), far beyond his skimpy accomplishments. I still say Geraldine Ferraro was right: Obama is the Affirmative Action Presidential Candidate. And we as a Nation are the poorer for it.

Sadly, very true.

Oh yeah, and states like Wyoming would be screwed...don't think those boys would like that much.

One of the purposes of the electoral college is to prevent larger states from making smaller states irrelevant. So States are weighted by the number of representatives they have. A minimum of 3, a maximum of 2 + the number of house seats.

This ought to be what McCain runs after Obambi's infommercial...

re: #61 Hard Right

I never appreciated the genius of the EC until the last ten years of my life. I understood the textbook explanations from high school, but it really was so smart of them.

Likewise, I have no end of respect for the winner-take-all, two party system. It innoculates the country from having to pander to wild, fringe groups, and the result is we can have the freedom to allow idiots to exist, because we know they're powerless, whereas many Euro countries are forced to outlaw them, lest they gain a political foothold.

Fracture of the Hip in the elderly is one of the most common accidents and injuries and is also one of the most serious diagnoses in it's frequent causes of a more rapid progressive decline in quality of their health and the shortening of the geriatric lifespan. Many patients never make it to full recovery due to secondary complications like Infection, Pulmonary complications, Anemia, or Ambulation and bedridden conditions related to the injury. I hope for her successful recovery. It is most painful.

Is it surprising that this is better than anything that came out of the official McCain campaign?

re: #76 subsailor68

Yep! Since the electoral college is part of the constitution, it would take a constitutional amendment to become law. It would never pass, because no small state would vote for it.

re: #84 Dasher

Yep! Since the electoral college is part of the constitution, it would take a constitutional amendment to become law. It would never pass, because no small state would vote for it.

2/3 of the States have to ratify it, not 2/3 of the population, so you are absolutely correct.

Why the hell would anyone vote for a man whose comfort with infanticide is nothing less than disturbing?

re: #84 Dasher

I concur. However, this was included in the article:

Scrapping the electoral vote system would likely require a constitutional amendment since the Constitution itself created the electoral system (Article II, section 1).

"But a group called National Popular Vote says it has found another way.

So far, it has persuaded four Democratic-controlled legislatures (in Maryland, Illinois, Hawaii, and New Jersey) to pass a law which commits those states to give their electoral votes to whomever wins the national popular vote.

The accord takes effect once states with a combined 270 electoral votes agree to it.

The states would pledge to award their electoral votes to the popular vote winner even if he or she had not been the majority choice in their state."

Not sure that idea would pass a SCOTUS case. Could it?

Excellent work! Nice and comprehensive while hitting the major points. Given I certainly can't improve on it, I will just link to it from my blog and send folks over to Hot Air to read it.

re: #84 Dasher

It would never pass, because no small state would vote for it.

Good point. People rarely vote themselves less power.

Which makes things like the 19th Amendment so admirable. While others may choose to dwell on how bad it is that it took them so long, or discount their deeds by implying they had no choice, it doesn't negate that by far and away, it was men who voted to give the vote to women in America.

re: #74 Dasher

One of the purposes of the electoral college is to prevent larger states from making smaller states irrelevant. So States are weighted by the number of representatives they have. A minimum of 3, a maximum of 2 + the number of house seats.

This is one of those bad ideas that pop up every election. If the Electoral College didn't exist and the vote was strictly one person-one vote, the administration would be elected by just a few major urban centers; California, New York, etc....with the rest of the voters throughout the rural and suburban areas disenfranchised from the vote.

BTW, here's a link to the National Popular Vote site (goes to the About page).

I won't pass judgment on these folks, but when terms like "Berkeley" pop up, I get nervous. :-)

National Popular Vote Organization

Are they imploding? Biden gaffe machine, Barney Frank on CNBC saying we need higher taxes, Joe the plumber...McCain needs to get all this out there somehow...

re: #87 Joan Not of Arc

Why the hell would anyone vote for a man whose comfort with infanticide is nothing less than disturbing?

Honestly, I think they think that if they openly say that are against infantcide, there is some "slippery slope" that will lose abortion rights.

re: #86 Spiny Norman

2/3 of the States have to ratify it, not 2/3 of the population, so you are absolutely correct.

Actually it takes 3/4's of the states to ratify an amendment. (Article V )

re: #88 subsailor68

States can award Electoral votes almost any way they want. They can go by who controls the State Legislature and forget about having any popular vote. If they do have a popular vote then they can not restrict access to the vote based on 1) slavery or previous condition of servitude, except for felony conviction, but the State can let the felons vote if they so choose, 2) Sex, 3) Failure to pay a Poll Tax or other tax and 4) Age if over 18. Other restrictions would probably be constitutional. For example if you are a Robert Heinlien fan you could consider restricing the vote to honorably discharged military veterans.

re: #98 lifeofthemind

I do believe you're right on this (not a Constitutional scholar). It does appear the Founding Fathers did, in fact, leave it up to the individual state legislators. In that case, National Popular Vote org, could, I suppose, indeed convince states to shift over to their plan. But it would still screw the smaller states big time.

(BTW, great book, not-so-great movie.)

The Electoral College is fine by me. I would regularize it and appoint members either ex offcio (the Chiefs of the 3 branches in each state) or for larger states for fixed terms of up to 6 years each, staggered like that of Senators. If it was always there it could fill vacancies in an emergency and also serve as a Court of Constitutional Review. That would remove from the SCOTUS the Legislative power that the Judiciary has usrped.

re: #100 lifeofthemind

Very interesting ideas. Would you regularize it based on existing numbers? (For example, the three branch chiefs and an appointed number to fill out the total - in larger states - for a six year term.)

re: #87 Joan Not of Arc

Because their support from infanticide is likewise distrubing. The pro-abortion people seem to think "the more, the merrier" on abortion. These same people whined to high heaven when Tookie Williams was executed. Figure that one out.

re: #61 Hard Right

The left would love to see the EC killed off. The most populous states are rather blue.

That would actually hurt them, since proportional representation would give Republicans in those largely blue states more of a voice in national elections. Giving dems a likewise portion of all the less populous red states in the Heartland would have less of an overall impact, especially without the weighting of the electoral college.

Dems of course don't want to scrap the EC to replace it with a proportional system, but a direct popular vote meaning that half a dozen liberal cities across the country decide everything for all of us.

re: #103 Scion9

I completely agree with your last paragraph. It would be interesting - if I had the time - to see what the total population of, say, the thirty largest cities would add up to...and if they would be enough to carry the election on their own.

I love this quote from the article:

...if Obama wins on November 4th—and serves one full term in the Oval Office—the Presidency of the United States would be the longest consecutively held full-time job he has ever held without seeking another.

Experience you can rely on!

re: #101 subsailor68

Bubblehead,
Exactly, The strength of the Democratic Party in local politics is a problem for the Republicans. That means that more Republicans have to get busy and serve on local school boards and zoning commissions. The Federal government should be busy locking up corrupt State Legislators. Unfortunately the trend since the Civil War has been to give up on the States as hopelessly corrupt and shift more power either down to popular voting, which strengthens non-governmental factions, parties in the 19th-20th centuries and even more shadowy groups now, or it shifted power up to the Federal government.

re: #105 Kenneth

From Greg Gutfeld at Fox News

So Obama thinks that FOX News has hurt him in the polls, saying that even if he watched us, he wouldn't vote for himself either.

Now, I don't think he's wrong. I actually think FOX News does go after him. But hell, someone has to.

For my whole life, every network has been uniformly, heart-bleedingly liberal. Nearly every damn magazine, newspaper and after-school special spits out the same lefty assumptions — rich people greedy, Republicans bad, America evil — as though they are suffering from a Marxist version of Tourette.

And as for you Obama, stop acting like a kid who complains because you got a 98 instead of a perfect grade. Seriously, you don't need mindless obedience from everyone to win.

So Obama, if you're expecting people here to kiss your ass, you'll need to go elsewhere. I hear there's a guy at MSNBC with a thrill up his leg dying to give you a sponge bath.

And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler.

And Obama is their guy.

That's why today, every anchor has a woodie for him, and every star-struck pop singer offers the Messiah their services for free. And there's the late night comics, who hammer Republicans seven times more often than Dems. It's just too easy to be funny.

But despite all this, you still have twerps soiling their diapers over FOX News just because it won't comply with an overarching liberal theocracy. You've got celebrity cretins like Tim Robbins, watchdog weenies like Media Matters and crybaby cranks like Keith Olbermann suffering seizures because FOX won't roll over.

I say, stop being a bunch of pussies, you pretty much own the airwaves.

According to the first article, obama is still an Indonesian citizen, so why isn't this an issue?

The only good thing to come from his being elected is how soon he will show his true colors and all the little obamites will feel betrayed to the point I believe would cause riots.

The loony left will be thrilled with him. What I believe is that when Obama shows his true colors the independents and moderate Democrats are going to wonder just what the hell they've done. I predict a very bad case of buyer's remorse, but once the damage to our society has been done it will take a very long time to undo. We're still suffering from things that LBJ and Carter did.

After viewing this, I just can't see why anyone would think this man should be our president. I am completely amazed at this country that Obama is even within 15 points of John McCain. The media will be solely to blame when he places a lid on the First Amendment.

Excellent material!

But, many more examples could be added to the list.

To think, by and large, this is material the MSM has refused and continues to refuse to cover. If not for alternate new stream media from 'blogs' and Fox's coverage it would be a total unobstructed cakewalk into the White House.

The Hot Air article represents a major, jurassic-level, pounding of BHO.

Recently, I’ve found managed to cause a few undecideds and weakly-decideds to strongly reconsider their position with a simple: “My resume and your resume show more and better qualifications for the job of President than Obama’s. Why should I vote for Obama instead of me?”.

The Hot Air article does this very much better. I'm sending it to a couple of other weakly-decideds that I know.

Perhaps CNBC, Fox and others should also get copies. How about some radio time?

Any chance of getting the McCain Campaign to use the audio portion of several of the better videos on radio? Radio time is cheaper than TV time, and I suspect that very many people will listen in the privacy of their cars.

But the botom line is: vote for McCain on Tuesday, November 04, 2008. Anything else is a vote for Obama.

Speaking of "jurassic-level", has the poster "JurassicSlapAss" ever appeared?

.
Line 53 Character 3 on the front page causes me to have to click a popup about 150 times. I use IE7.0.5730.11. Is anyone else having this problem?

I was really hoping they would have put these clips under a Hot Air account so we don't see them go down the memory hole...

Man this is good stuff! I can't stop reading it! Sending the link to all my friends and family.

It took me about half an hour to go through it all but it is indeed comprehensive. Wow! Don't forget to give it a buzz from Hot Air, it is on the front page and it needs to stay there.

A national day of protest MUST be organized to send a powerful message about the manipulative and dismissive media. HOW DO WE MAKE IT HAPPEN?

(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/21/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama's lack of "qualifications" to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and the DNC "ADMITTED", by way of failure to timely respond to Requests for Admissions, all of the numerous specific requests in the Federal lawsuit. Obama is "NOT QUALIFIED" to be President and therefore Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President and the DNC shall substitute a qualified candidate. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.

Berg stated that he filed Requests for Admissions on September 15, 2008 with a response by way of answer or objection had to be served within thirty [30] days. No response to the Requests for Admissions was served by way of response or objection. Thus, all of the Admissions directed to Obama and the DNC are deemed "ADMITTED." Therefore, Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President.

re: #126 Ron Shaw

If only it were this easy. Don't you know the law doesn't apply to Democrats or minorities?

re: #119 Pepper

Electoral College is here to stay so long as a diverse state demographic exists. It is the only thing that ensure representation to the smaller states. We would be controlled by the belief and value systems of urban dwellers. It is a somewhat adversarial counterbalance to domination of one area over another in this republic.

I have two problems with the Electoral College system:

1) The states don't divide up their electoral votes via popular vote within them. The predominant "winner take all" policy disenfranchises voter in the minority party in states - sometimes for generations. Heck, I'd even be happier if they apportioned all but two electoral college votes (the ones corresponding to the number of senators, who are elected "at large") in each state that way.

2) The electors in the Electoral College should not be actual people. Sometimes these people do not vote the way they are supposed to, and that could potentially throw an election someday, causing a Constitutional crisis. But, hey - we don't believe in pre-emptively dealing with crises, anyway, do we?

On the whole, though, I good with it. Part of the deal when the states signed up for the Union was that the states with small populations would have certain protections from those with large populations. The Electoral College system was part of that deal. That's just basic civics.

Break the deal if you must, but it would only be fair to give states the option to seceed in that event. See what that does for you...

As to the tread subject (now that it's already pretty dead), I would break off the "Update II" into a category of its own - "National Security", and add just one more section: "Energy". It's an excellent piece, but I can scarely believe these two crucial topics have been neglected.

Thanks, Optimizer, I had a senior moment immersed in the old America which remains the America I know, I knew and I hope to know in the future...and I forgot.
