The destruction of the Democratic Party is complete.

I am always pleased to find some sanity on the Left these days. We've said around here for a long time that Obama's campaign is run on treacle and tripe - with a healthy dose of nasty just under the surface. Eamon Martin hammers at the Obama nonsense from the Left flank.
I could not - as this blog proves - (HA!) have said it better:
I'm not drinking the Kool Aid. But for my own dignity and for the millions or people whose hearts will be broken when the "change they can believe in" never appears beyond the color of Obama's flesh, let it be said that "hope" as a political commodity reached it's apotheosis of co-optation... and what really transpired was the most audacious exploitation of despair.

The Obama phenomenon is the result of a country in despair. He is not bringing hope - he has capitalized on a deep fear and anger at the loss of an idea we had about what this country was supposed to be.

If Obama had a track record and ANY proven leadership skills beyond gaming the system, I might be able to get on board. He does not.

If Obama had not said almost the exact opposite of what his campaign has lead people to believe he believes - I might be able to get on board.

If Obama had not railed against lobbyists while taking boat loads of cash from the exact same GOP bundlers as Bush- I might get on board.

But he has done nothing that speaks to any kind of internal integrity. The writer of the article linked uses the word "fibs" - but why stand on ceremony - he's a liar. The most grievous lies being FISA and the Iraq nonsense he spews. Read what Obama has actually said about Iraq in the last 6 months then ask a POD what Obama plans to do about the war. THERE IS NO CONNECTION - to reality or anything else.

Martin says in the end he will vote for Obama because he fears McCain more. I cannot agree. I see no reason to believe McCain is worse. The reverse is true: I see evidence that McCain is the better choice.

He actually exists for starters.

A year later I have no idea who Obama is or what he truly cares about- beyond his own self promotion. One day he seems to be the product of his Communist mentors in ACORN and the next he's grabbing GOP talking points and begging Wall Street for cash. One day he just can't dump Wright and I am told "I just don't understand black churches" then....suddenly...Wright gets the boot. I guess I understand black churches now...or not...who the hell knows? In February he's going to take the brave progressive stance and filibuster FISA. In June he votes for FISA. He believes in public financing...until it won't work for him. He votes for a Cheney lead energy bill - then condemns it - and by proxy himself for voting for it.

Who the hell is this guy?

Imagine these kind of back flips occurring in the realm of a marriage. We all know these marriages. I love my husband...but he's a scoundrel...but I love him...but he cheats...but I love him....Same principle. The difference is, of course, flibbertigibbet friends are not usually in charge of the Executive Branch. Given what I know about McCain he gets a C minus in my book.
Given what we know about Obama - and what his willy nilly, gooey, flip flops demonstrate every day now - he gets an F.
No. I don't think Obama is, at least, better than McCain. He's not.

"Hope" is a canard, a sedative, a bromide for the beaten down and the foolish. Our great leaders of the past never gave us "hope" alone. They gave us faith -in ourselves and in our country. Obama inspires no faith.

JFK: Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
BHO: If everyone would just inflate their tires we would not need to drill.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the four horsemen of the Democratic party's apocalypse: Barry, Nancy, Howard, and Donna. Give them a hand! Enjoy the buffet! They'll be here all week!

The destruction of the Democratic Party is complete.
