Does anyone think that a Republican Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee could keep his seat in Congress, let alone his chairmanship, if he was caught cheating on his taxes? When it’s a Democrat the press reports it once, if at all, with all the Dem spin included, and then never again. If it’s a Republican the story, and the “unanswered questions” are repeated over and over, even with nothing new being reported.

Look, Obama has a very short voting record, and his words, though clever, are short on specifics. So people look at his personal history to try to figure out who the guy really is. His mother was a hippie. His father was absent, and a foreigner. His associates and mentors in college, law school and his early career were Marxists and other left-wingers, to which he has now added the Chicago political machine. His Pastor was also a far left anti-American advocate of liberation theology. I think in the absence of a long record, this history tells you who the guy is.

Now if on the other hand this candidate was a muslim who once was Osama Bin Laden’s private cook, and who denounced America as an outlaw nation, you would see his smiling and benign visage on the front page of the NY Times, “Islamic Progressive Combats Hate”.
It’s a great world.

The lesson here is that even thoguh the country may be religious, it doesn’t want a President who would be perceived to be attempting to impose their particular religion upon the nation.

If McCain loses, and I am as sure as ever that he will win, the gop will have to decide exactly what it stands for. If it decides to become a Goldwateresque Conservative party it will regain power in a few cyclkes but if it decides to become an evangelical religious party then it will be in the wilderness forever.

In ’88, the Willie Horton ad gradually showed that Dukakis was not some kind of “new Democrat”, but just the same old bleeding heart/knee-jerk liberal. But people didn’t wake up one morning and say, “omg, Dukakis released that murderer from prison!” It was more of a slow bleed….but over time, it made them feel very queazy about him.

Obama’s friends may be one reason that this morning’s AP poll shows 14% of voters are either undecided or persuadable. This is a devastating number for the Obama campaign–In state after state against Clinton (NH-CA-TX-OH, etc.) late deciders broke against him by 3-1. He is a very weak closer.

This election is definitely starting to slip away from Obama, as people begin to realize that we’re electing a new Commander-in-Chief, not student body president.

Ayers, on the other hand, is someone who was actively working at destroying the USA. Someone who is trying to become the leader of a country should not be palling around with those who desire to destroy it.

If someone came out with a tape of Obambi in a cave with Osama bin laden, I’m sure he would come up with some tenuous explaination (Well I was researching Foreign Policy) and that would be that.
