Barack Can’t Be Trusted With The Free World


There is a test of will underway and Obama is failing. Hillary is fighting for delegates from Florida and Michigan to be seated at the Democrat National Convention, while Barrack Hussein-Chamberlain Obama is appeasing her.

No Florida or Michigan delegates, pledged or super, under any circumstances should be seated. If any are it will because Clinton, an overbearing dominatrix, bullied, Obama, an incompetent weakling. Both those two states broke the rules of the Democrat Party, they knew they were breaking them beforehand, and they pre-meditatively did it anyway. This formula sounds exactly like what our next president will be facing with the likes of North Korea, Iran, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, the PLO and other rogue states joining the axis of evil.

If Barry can’t handle tough-cookie-Hillary, what can we expect from him in dealing with dictators-intent-on-killing-us like axis of evil pals Kim Jung Ill, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Bashar al-Assad? Not to mention their groupies Muammar Qadhafi and Hugo Chavez?

Well, actually we know, because he told us. He will sit down and have open and honest dialogue with each of them. After those meetings he might sponsor a Malta-like convention where the post 9-11 world can be divided up between the dictators, in return for which Barack may promise that our carbon emissions will be reduced and he will sign into law a Global Poverty Tax against the United States, to be administered by the United Nations.

Some people in the world only understand strength and force. Clinton is one of them. She will continue to push with whatever means are necessary to have all the delegates from Florida and Michigan seated with full votes. This fight will not end today, but will go on all the way to their convention. After all she did win both states, so she has an argument.

Obama should argue that none of them should be seated, but he won’t. Instead he will give as many votes away that he has to without getting behind on the count. A little like Chamberlain giving away Czechoslovakia as long as Hitler promised not to attack England.

But there won’t be peace in the D-Party, until Clinton wins, or she is forced to surrender unconditionally. She won’t quit, and she should not be expected to. If she keeps fighting she could actually win. . . that is, as long as Obama lets her break the rules.

The “peace” conference to resolve the fate of Florida and Michigan is happening today. There are various proposals on the table. Clinton wants all of them seated. Obama is willing to let half from each state be seated, or all of them with only half a vote each. Hillary cannot go with either of Barry’s proposals, because if she does, she will be conceding defeat. Obama cannot go with hers because if he does, she will take the lead.

But all of this is beside the point. The point is that Barack “Barry” Hussein Obama should be demanding that none of them be seated. After all, he followed the rules, and she didn’t and isn’t. He didn’t campaign in Florida and he actually took his name off the ballot in Michigan, because both states were breaking the rules. Fair is fair, rules are rules, the law is the law. But he won’t stand up to her and demand enforcement of the rules. Why not? Because he is not a strong leader. He is overly concerned about the backlash from Florida and Michigan voters against him in November. . . he shouldn’t be.

The media will continue to portray him as a savior, and if he acts strong, they will help Democrat Floridians and Michiganites understand that Hillary, good-riddance, is a cheater, and he is a man of character. That would be leadership. But Barack is not a leader. Rather he is a Chamberlain politician – gutless, finger in the wind, and concerned only with getting elected and re-elected.

Tough adversaries roll over people like that. Hillary will fight to the end whether the D-Party suffers or not. Tough enemies like Jung Ill, Ahmadinejad and Assad are worse by far. With them we are talking nukes, war and Jihad. They are no doubt watching Hillary and her demands, and Barack with his obsequious appeasement with great interest. They understand them both – Clinton is power hungry and Barack is weak. Either, of them the dictators could work with.

For the good of the country, let’s hope that whoever the Democrats ultimately put forward gets beaten by McCain. At least with him at the helm our country will be protected and the tyrants will be kept in check.

Eye-Popping Survey By ccAdvertising


It appears that Barack Obama’s self-inflicted negative publicity is having an effect on his chances at the Presidency. He may be doing strong in the Democrat Party, but the following survey shows he is not doing so well with the electorate at large.

From May 1, 2008 through May 5, 2008, ccAdvertising completed a survey to a combined total of 90,000 homes in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania (10,000 homes from each state) extracted from the ccAdvertising database.

This survey compared John McCain, the presumptive Republican Nominee for President against Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the final contestants in the race for the Democrat nomination for President. Combined results from respondents to this survey show:

John McCain Versus Hillary Clinton:

John McCain = 40.98%
Hillary Clinton = 42.04%
No Preference = 16.98%

John McCain Versus Barack Obama:

John McCain = 45.90%
Barack Obama = 40.42%
No Preference = 13.68%

In Summary:

John McCain is winning the popular vote against Barack Obama in the states targeted in this survey by 5.48%. Hillary Clinton is winning the popular vote against John McCain in the states targeted in this survey by 1.06%.

When it is John McCain versus Hillary Clinton, John McCain wins 4 states (CO, FL, IL, and NH), with Hillary Clinton winning 5 states (CA, MO, NY, OH and PA). When it is John McCain versus Barack Obama, John McCain wins 6 states (CO, FL, MO, NH, OH and PA) with Barack Obama winning 3 states (CA, IL, and NY).

If Barack Obama is the Democrat Nominee the following changes occur in the State by State results:

California changes from a Hillary Clinton victory over John McCain by 15.82% to a Barack Obama victory over McCain by 12.88%. This is a 2.94% move to McCain.

Colorado changes from a John McCain victory over Hillary Clinton by 5.44% to a John McCain victory by 1.98%. This is a 3.46% move to Obama.

Florida changes from an 11.46% margin of victory for John McCain to a 25.52% margin for John McCain. This is a 14.06% move to McCain.

Illinois changes from a John McCain victory over Hillary Clinton by 2.29% to a Barack Obama victory over John McCain by 9.23%. This is an 11.52% move to Obama.

Missouri changes from a Hillary Clinton victory over John McCain by 3.97% to a John McCain victory over Barack Obama by 10.61%. This is a 14.58% move to McCain.

New Hampshire changes from a John McCain victory over Hillary Clinton by 5.90% to a John McCain victory over Barack Obama by 6.67%. This is a 0.77% move to McCain.

New York changes from a Hillary Clinton victory over John McCain by 7.88% to a Barack Obama victory over John McCain by 1.31%. This is a 6.57% move to McCain.

Ohio changes from a Hillary Clinton victory over John McCain by 1.02% to a John McCain victory over Barack Obama by 18.18%. This is a 19.20% move to McCain.

Pennsylvania changes from a Hillary Clinton victory over John McCain by 7.51% to a John McCain victory over Barack Obama by 5.95%. This is a 13.46% move to McCain.

Hillary Can’t Steal the Nomination with Super Delegates, But Obama Could Lose Because of Them


Super Delegates have been part of the Democrats’ system for choosing their presidential nominee since 1980! But, by judging from the media’s tone, you’d think that it was all dreamed up by Clinton, Inc., last summer. Here’s some examples:

"How could the Democratic Party be so, well, undemocratic? Backroom double-dealing; Suppressing the will of the voters; Super Delegates will likely decide the Democratic presidential nominee at this year's convention in Denver; Will Super Delegates decide Democrat Nomination? For the first time, Super Delegates may decide their party's nominee."

Doesn’t this coverage pass on a seedy, underhanded and scheming feel to the whole Democrat nomination process?

This is not to say that Democrats are not as Machiavellian as quasi-humanly possible. But the point here is that the rules regarding Super Delegates have been around for 28 years. It is not like the Clintonistas have the list but the Obamamamas don’t. They both do. The fact is that its a fair playing field for both Barack and Hill.

Here’s what’s going on. The media jumped ship with Clinton, just like Barack dumped his grandma, and supported Obama. Unfortunately, Obama has not won, while Clinton has not lost. Now the liberal media is in a quandary. Being liberals, they are as equally sly as politicians. Therefore, they have decided to attack the delegate selection process to push their guy forward, and have begun to predict rioting in the streets and a Chicago-style convention in Denver if the Super Delegates don’t do what the media wants them to do and support Obama.

Here’s the count after Pennsylvania. Obama has won 1,489 delegates to Clinton’s 1,333, while there are only 408 delegates left to win in the nine remaining contests. A quick calculation shows that if either Obama or Clinton wins them all they will both be short of the 2,024 needed to win.

Meanwhile, on the Super Delegate front, Obama has 238, while Clinton has 259. Added to their current totals this puts Obama at 1,727 and Clinton at 1,592. If Obama wins all the 408 delegates up for grabs, which is a practical impossibility, as none of the remaining states are winner take all, he goes over the top and reaches the magic 2,025 mark with 2,135, while if Clinton wins them all she is still short at 2,000.

So, if neither can win, how does someone win? In addition to everything else described there are 298 more Super Delegates that are uncommitted at this point. Depending on how they go, they could push either candidate into the victory circle.

Here’s the interesting thing about Democrats and their process. None of the delegates that have been selected so far, whether regular or Super are bound to vote for any particular candidate. True, regular delegates are more likely to vote for whom they worked for, but that is beside the point. The point is that they are not bound. Super Delegates meanwhile are also not bound. They can vote however they want. . . and, just like regular delegates, they can change their mind. This reality is not indicative of a gamed system, rather it is simply the way the rules work, which is fair to both sides.

In 2004, as an example, Howard Dean was doing great with his Super Delegate count, but after he crashed and burned in the Iowa Caucuses, they all switched to John Kerry. Super Delegate independence happened in 1984 as well. Gary Hart came on strong against Walter Mondale and won 16 states to Mondale’s 10, but Mondale sewed up almost all the Super Delegates. Were those years examples of subverting the will of rank-and-file Democrats? No, they were merely representations of how the system works.

Not everyone agrees though, especially if they are reporters or Obama supporters. U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri, in an interview with History.com, sanctimoniously said, "I'm confident that in my party, which prides itself as being a party of the people, Super Delegates will be nominating the one with the most pledged delegates."

The one with the most pledged delegates? Hardly. Rather, Super Delegates will support the candidate most likely to win in 2008, which seemed like Obama all the way up to the point where his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright, took center stage.
