What Am I Missing?
Like a lot of Tea Party types, I am a political neophyte. The last five years have been eye-opening. I used to think that elected officials wrote our laws. It would not have surprised me to learn that the tedium had been delegated to the wonks. But it shocked me to learn that Congressmen did not even read the bills they voted on. My jaw dropped even further when idiots like Cenk Uyger defended the practice because if Congressmen read bills, they would have no time for anything else. The what else is fertile ground for one's imagination indeed.
I am still confused by politics. Obama is having trouble getting 60% in the primaries versus hobby candidates and the always formidable Uncommitted. That's right, presidential candidate Uncommitted garnered 42% in Kentucky and took most of the Commonwealth's counties.
The legendary Joe Wolfe won similar numbers in Arkansas. Oklahoma and West Virgina did not go well for the incumbent either. And let's not forget 2010. And yet...and yet, Rasmussen has Obama and Romney running in stride.
What am I missing folks?

It's Mitt's to Lose
Unless Mitt runs as bad a campaign as Steve Schmidt ran for McCain in 08, we will inaugurate President Romney in 2013. Today Obama came out in support of gay marriage. My feelings on the subject vacillate between neutrality and apathy. If gay marriage is a radio show's topic de jour, I switch channels. It's one of those all heat and no light topics. But this subject now moves to the forefront. Obama is desperate.
Obama is desperate for anything that will distract us from his failed economic policies. I don't think this will work. The careful choreography, first with NBC and Joe Biden and then ABC and the Anointed One, displays the fingerprints of a campaign that loves to overplay its hand. I am sure ther is a smart guy with charts and graphs who can justify a battleground/swing state strategy and in these particular states, gay marriage yields a surprising metric, blah blah blah. Wonka wonka wonk. I don't think this strategy will work.
If Romney stays away from the MSM badgers and contrasts his substance with Obama's style and selects say, Paul Ryan, as his vp choice, this could be 2010 all over again plus the Senate and the White House.
Yes we can! Er, excuse me. Forward!
Obama Loses Ten Counties To Not Famous Jailbird.
Ohhhh, I so miss blogging. I never got burned out. I once more got overloaded. Giant sigh.
Ok, so we know the O-Man lost 13 counties in Oklahoma. Yesterday, he lost ten counties in West Virginia and failed to carry 60 per cent statewide. Who was the heavyweight who gave the anointed one a run for his money...question mark
note. my keyboard will not allow for the shift key. i can cap lock but then i cannot use special characters unless i cut and paste from a sheet. too time consuming.
anyway, http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/05/all-we-know-about-convict-who-almost-beat-obama-west-virginia/52093/ the atlantic has a nice bio on keith russell judd, the gate election gate crasher. interesting guy.
if you were fortunate enough to be named notobama, you still have a shot at the presidency. mark halperin is leading cheers and trying to tell us the obots are confident and enthusiastic. nice try, mark.

Big Brother's End Game
It was nice while it lasted. Freedom. America. We tasted these things but we let them slip away from us. Now Big Brother is putting the icing on the cake and no one cares. A nation that elects and supports and blindly follows Barack Obama cares nothing about freedom or about America.
The legendary Nat Hentoff (a true liberal) sums it up.
I don’t remember the Occupy Wall Street marchers and drummers ever mentioning the National Security Agency.
http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/obamas-nsa-close-to-knowing-all-about-us/
The NSA is about as subtle as Stasi in their stated objectives to snoop and dominate and eavesdrop and control.
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/
It is encouraging that the Van Jones crowd is echoing the warnings but...
http://www.democracynow.org/2012/3/21/exposed_inside_the_nsas_largest_and
...I am still cynical. The whole fight the power, stick it to the man, crush the machine, power to the people mentality is lost on Obots and Occupants. Drink the Kool-Aid and pass the bong. Nothing wrong with following a cult leader so long as it's a cooler than cool cult leader.
The resistance ethic is lost on today's youth long placated with dumbass slogans and an idiot who can't say 'hello' without a teleprompter. Nothing wrong with Stasi if you got the the anointed one in the White House. He won't be snooping on his campaign contributors.
The Republic was not lost in secret. It was hijacked in plain view in front of a drooling, apathetic public. But the Kool-Aid was delicious. Mmm mmm mmm.
Farewell America.

You Don't Need A Mailman To Know Which Way The Wind Blows
CHICAGO – Did the parents of former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers help finance Barack Obama’s Harvard education?
Did Ayers’ mother believe Obama was a foreign student?
And was the young Obama convinced at the time – long before he even entered politics – that he was going to become president of the United States?
See the entire story at link below.
http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/postman-ayers-family-put-foreigner-obama-through-school/
If you get to know me in daily life you will hear me say one of two things. 1. I am busy. 2. I am tired. Now I am more of the former than the latter. I still want to post about all the recent developments but I am prioritizing my more urgent concerns.
Obama is still "Twilight Zone." The young Barack made a habit of telling people he barely knew that he would someday be president of The United States. Strange becomes weird and the mailman of William Ayers' parents claims he met a young Barack Obama at the elder Ayers' home. This is not the first link between Obama and William Ayers. The path between the venerable pair is well worn and free of obstacles.
But the media will not discuss the Ayers-Obama relationship. Worse, most Americans just don't care. That is not just discouraging, it is demoralizing. Stupidity is annoying but we are accustomed to it. Deliberate stupidity on the other hand, is terrifying. Pass the Kool-Aid and chant the slogans. Never, ever, ever look behind the curtain. Never, ever, ever think for yourself.
I sometimes overestimate the power of truth. Hold the facts up to the light and the people will usually make the right choice. But we live in an era where light is unstylish. Obama has been exposed as a petty, petulant, vapid, buffoonish, incompetent shell of of a man who validated the Peter Principle when he was annointed community organizer.
But it is not the gross incompetence that fuels my cynicism. What bothers me is the, um, irregularities and skeletons and absurdities the press just will not touch and tens of millions of Americans just cannot witness. Who financed Obama's education? No one cares. We knew EVERYTHING about Joe the Plumber within 24 hours of his asking the president a simple (solicited)question but the media has not identified even one of the ten women who fainted at Obama's speaking engagements in the past ten years.
I understand people who got caught up in the hype in 2008. But time passes and the buffoon has been exposed as a sham, a fraud and possibly something much more sinister. That anyone, let alone tens of millions of Americans, allow themselves to be duped--and one has to assist oneself in the duping--by a sleazy, cheesy, silly, two-airplanes-on-a-family-vacation-as-he lectures-us-on-fuel-economy, carpetbagger is depressing. It is depressing and demoralizing and deflating.
