EVIDENCE THE CLINTONS ARE SCREWING OBAMA
To The Point has long maintained that the Clintons will do what they can to make sure Obambi loses in November - for only then does Hillary have a chance for the White House in 2012. Now there's more evidence. In a private meeting earlier this month (9/10) in his Harlem office, Clinton met at his request with the publishers of a major online news site. I cannot be more explicit at the request of my source. After claiming Obama will win because his campaign has registered two million new Democrat voters, Clinton casually mentioned: "You know, one thing that nobody has really checked out yet is Obama's long-standing and deep relationship with Louis Farrakhan. It's going to really hurt him badly once it's fully disclosed." Hint: research and reveal Obama's connection with the most rabidly anti-Semitic black racist in America.
WILL OBAMA THROW A “HAIL HILLARY” PASS?
A friend's sources in the Democrat Party are telling him Barack Obama is being pressured to dump Sen. Joseph Biden from the ticket and replace him with Hillary Clinton, the switch to come just after the vice presidential debate Oct. 2. Speculation about such a switch has emerged on several left-wing blogs. "It's time to dump Biden and replace him with Sen. Hillary Clinton," said Andy Ostroy on the Huffington Post today (9/15). "I'm starting to think that if Team Obama doesn't do something dramatic fast, it's gonna lose this election." What might prompt such an act of desperation? The polls -- which indicate the race is a statistical dead heat -- are cause for concern, but not for panic. This might be the reason:
WHY IS OBAMA WEARING LIPSTICK?
Immediately after Sen. Barack Hussein Obama committed his now-notorious "lipstick on a pig" gaffe, the McCain campaign demanded he apologize for the remark, and rushed out a Web ad (meaning it was meant for YouTube, not paid television) criticizing him for making it. CBS News yesterday (9/11) forced YouTube to pull McCain's "Lipstick" Ad because it contained an unauthorized clip of Katie Kouric. No matter - it was already seen by its target audience. That ad shows the genius of what the McCain campaign is doing. Whether its outrage was real or faux over the lipstick gaffe, the McCain campaign has Sen. Obama looking rattled, talking about the Republican candidate for vice president instead of talking about issues that might win him votes. That's why the Lipstick Web Ad was designed for an audience of one - The One - and it worked. Sen. McCain is so far inside Sen. Obama's OODA loop that I almost feel sorry for him. Very almost.
THE LEFT’S HATRED OF RELIGION EXPOSED
Nothing in recent memory has driven home the divide between our self-appointed aristocracy and "commoners" as sharply as the intelligentsia's rush to mock Gov. Sarah Palin's religious faith. While the attacks and insults are backfiring on the mortified elites, the double standard applied to "Sarah America" is a disgrace that can't be excused as "just politics." Certainly, much of the left-wing fury over Palin stems from the Democrat Party's assumption that it "owned" the exclusive right to nominate women to the executive branch (despite the crushing of Hillary Clinton's candidacy). How dare the Republicans advance a woman? How dare they change this year's election script? But the root of the left's dread of this happily married mother of five seems to be that she actually believes in God. Washington fears faith - even nominal believers inside the Beltway have been shaped by secular educations and secular caste values. Humans fear what they can't understand, and our comfortable ruling class just can't comprehend the power and the glory, the beauty and the ecstasy, the awe and commitment experienced by those who believe in a divine power. To paraphrase the late Leona Helmsley, "Faith is for the little people."
GLOBAL WARMING AND BLACK HOLES: THE PARANOIA CONNECTION
That the Farmer's Almanac is now predicting global cooling is a pretty good indication that the glo-warming hysteria is coming to an end. The "warming crisis" the media has incessantly tried to shove down people's throats is of little concern to voters. All polls show it is at or near the bottom of voter concerns, and it is rarely addressed by politicians seeking their votes. Which may help to explain the media's current attempt at paranoia-mongering: spreading fears that the entire earth may be swallowed up by a man-made black hole in Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva is the largest and most complex machine ever built. Physicists hope to simulate the conditions of the "Big Bang" that created the universe. Such a simulation, the worry goes, could create a tiny black hole that could suck in nearby matter, growing with incredible speed and size until it sucked in and destroyed our entire planet. Here are two reasons why the paranoia is misplaced and will have to wander off to find another target.
PALIN AND THE PROMISE OF AMERICA’S FUTURE
Today, the seventh anniversary of the Islamofascist attack on America of September 11, 2001, we look back to commemorate the lives of our fellow Americans taken by Moslem terrorism on that horrible day. We need also to look back in deepest gratitude for President George Bush and all those in his administration whose Herculean efforts to prevent another such attack upon us have succeeded. It is an incredible accomplishment. Having done so, today is also a good time to look forward, to reflect upon the vastly different futures America faces, based upon what choice her voters make 54 days from now. I won't waste much time on the disaster that future would be for both America and the world should that choice be Barack Hussein Obama. Government spending and taxes would explode, the Dow would fall off a cliff, every dirtbag dictator in the world from Putin to Chavez would expand their power as America became indistinguishable from Euroweenia. I could go on adding to this list of calamities foreign and domestic, but we needn't bother, though, because this future is not going to happen. America's future lies with Sarah Palin and not a lightweight loser who will be lucky to carry California. So let's look at what the promise of that future might be.
SARAHCUDA VS. THE PIAPS: SMACKDOWN IN THE SENATE
Did you know that Slow Joe Biden is up for re-election? Yes, he's running simultaneously for Vice-President and the Senate. You'd think it would have to be one or the other. He's not campaigning much for his seat, as his Republican opponent is some right-wing small town attractive housewife no one every heard of. Does Christine O'Donnell remind you of anyone? Christine may become known as the Sarah Palin of Delaware soon, once the two join forces at a campaign rally in the Blue Hen state. As you read this, every Republican House and Senate candidate in the country is begging for Sarah to campaign for them. There's no way she has time to help out all but a small handful of House hopefuls, so she'll be concentrating on the Senate's. For very good reason. As Vice-President, constitutionally she'll be President of the Senate.
THE MEDIA IS A SEWER
"We need to throw every last molecule of s**t we've got at McCain and Palin," said a poster at the Democratic Underground blog. "Demonize them. Dehumanize them." Panic brings out the ugliness in ugly people. And ugliness of this sort is not restricted to moonbat bloggers. "In the press galleries at the convention, journalists wrinkled their noses in disgust when Piper, Ms. Palin's youngest daughter, was filmed kitty-licking her baby brother's hair in place," wrote David Carr in the New York Times Sunday. How dark must your soul be for you to be "disgusted" by a six-year-old girl who is behaving lovingly toward her baby brother? News organizations have flooded Alaska with investigative reporters, hoping to dig up something -- anything -- bad to say about Sarah Palin. As mayor of Wasilla in 1996, did she try to ban from the public library books that weren't published until 1998? The sewer that is the left-wing blogosphere is pumping its bilge directly into the "mainstream" media.
HALF-FULL REPORT 09/05/08
To call this a half-full report this week would be ridiculous. Even an "overflowingly full report" wouldn't come close. Think of that famous picture of the Spindletop oil gusher, only it's a gusher of good news. That's more like it. The gusher starts with the world's most famous woman. Mark this week as when Omania fizzled out. O stands for Over. There's little to add about Sarah right now except to stand back in awe, and contemplate the blessings of Providence upon America. That, and order a case of Alaska IPA, a great beer brewed in Juneau within sight of Governor Palin's office... ... Onto Russia. While Euroweenia is proclaiming Czar Putin to be the world's most powerful man, smart folks here in DC are examining his many vulnerabilities. Russia needs to be broken apart like the Soviet Union... ... For three years - since September 2005! - you've known why man-made global warming is a myth. Solar Warming explained the mechanism of warming, of how the sun's magnetic activity (of which sun spots are a sign) effects cloud formation on earth. The bottom line is: no sun spots mean a cooler earth, lots of sun spots mean a warmer earth. This week, astronomers announced that for the first time in 100 years, an entire month has passed without a single sunspot. This is bad news for advocates of the glo-warming religion, and thus good news for advocates of freedom from fascist control over our lives. But it's also bad news for our planet.
PROTECTING AMERICA’S SWEETHEART
America - real America - is in love. I know I sure am, and I have a lot of company. Yes, it's platonic love. After all, she's married and faithful (and so am I!). Nonetheless, I, like so many millions of Americans, have fallen head over heels in love with Sarah Palin. She is America's Sweetheart. Say goodnight, Bar..., Ber..., Buh..., what's that guy's name again? That guy is so, like, over. So yesterday, like the tax-and-spend welfare state liberal-leftie cant he espouses. Obambi represents the past. Sarah represents the future. Which is why my deepest, most passionate desire regarding Sarah Palin is that President Bush order a doubling of the Secret Service detail to protect her. And then we provide some backup. The pathologically deranged smears of the hate-America moonbats this week have only served to increase enthusiasm and sympathy for her. The moonbats are in a state of panicked rage because they rightly see in her the capacity to destroy all the myths that give meaning to their angry little lives. Which means their vicious verbal attacks on her person are going to turn physical. There are going to be attempts on her life. I don't want to bum out the celebrating, the elation, the thrill over Sarah - but she has got to be protected.
