CRY BABY LIBS CRYING FOUL?

Posted by Kevin on Monday, August 18, 2008 12:39:21 PM
I was not going to do a post today on the show down- hoe-down at Saddleback. I think I pretty much covered my take on the results in two posts. HOWEVER, We are learning that the Libs must be so shocked at McCain's performance that they are starting to accuse McCain of the possibility of cheating.
I, your humble Observer, can not resist commenting on this so I will. 
 
Apparently McCain was still enroute to the church during part of the first half of Obama's part of the program. While NO one has said McCain heard any of Obama's answers on radio, Libs and MSM types like Adrea Mitchel are putting out hints that some how that MAY have happened. The Lib Internet is also hyper-ventilating about this. 
 
First, I do not believe McCain OR Obama would cheat. Second both camps WERE given general info on topics that would come up. Not specific questions but topics, so all knew what to expect in general.
 
Even if you are a conspiracy nut like most Libs, what about the second 1/2 hour??? why was McCain Still running away with it? IF his first half performance was because he cheated, explain the second half that was just as good or better!
 
Democrats have a big problem. They apparently bought the wrong goods and now have buyer remorse. Too late to return for a new candidate, to give it to Hillary now would tear apart the Party and ensure a loss. At least with Obama they still have a shot at victory, though it is slipping away.
 
They can not accept that their messiah, their great leader, the greatest orator of our century could be loosing to a John McCain or any other Republican. There must be cheating!. Remember last Presidential election? One of Kerry's excuses was they could not get their message out!!. WHY? because of talk Radio and Fox News!!  Democrats can never believe that they loose BECAUSE THEY DID get their message out and it was rejected!
 
Claiming cheating now will only reinforce the weak, childish,whinning impression they and their canididate are already showing Americans!. Good for our side!

MORE THOUGHTS ON THE SHOW DOWN AT SADDLEBACK

Posted by Kevin on Sunday, August 17, 2008 12:07:31 PM
 
Last night I was so fired up over McCain's awesome performance I started writing a post before it was even over. I wrote that McCain Hit a Grand Slam.
 
Having had the night and morning to think it over am I still as enthused??  Had I really witnessed maybe the best live performance by a Presidential candidate I had ever seen? was his performance as important as I thought it was? As good as I thought he was ? I have answered myself YES to all questions and then some!. Last night was one of those defining moments in a campaign. A moment pundants, scholars, politicians will look back on in the future. John McCain showed how to take the control of a campaign. He did it by showing a wide depth and breadth of all the issues, even giving more of an answer than was called for. He was as decisive as anyone could hope for. Take the question When does life begin. Answer At conception. Period, no heming and hawing like Obama. Or how about Is evil real and what do we do about it. His answer? You defeat it, AND then went on to define it as Islamo terrorism.  You could see his eyes light up and he practically jumped at giving the answer to a question on what was an example of a flip-flop by him. DRILLING he shouted, off shore drilling we have to Drill here and drill now... He seized it as his own.
 
This week we are following the Olympics. Well McCain gave an Olympian tour de farce on how to go for the gold! He manuvered around, through, over and under every issue and made the night about HIS vision for America and where HE wants to lead us and how HE plans to do it!! Say what you want about McCain but after last night you can not say the following:
 
  •  You can no longer say he doesn't have the passion  for this race, the fire in his belly.
  •   You can't say you do not know where he stands on important issues.
  •   You can't say he looks weak compared to Obama
  •   YOU CAN NOT SAY HE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE AND A PROUD ONE AT THAT
 
How did John McCain accomplish all this? He did something few politicians are capable of, certainly not Barack Obama or any other current Democrat leader . Here is how he did it:
 
       
  •  He was Clear in his answers.
  •  He was concise.
  • He was HONEST.
  • He actually answered the way he thought was right not the way he hoped would poll better.
  • He knew what he was talking about
  • His EXPERIENCE showed for everyone to see .
  • He presented a stark contrast between himself and Obama - either you are ready and experienced enough to be President of the United States or you are Not, end of discussion!
  • He showed he, WANTS to be President, has the knowledge and EXPERIENCE to be President and the ability to lead.
  • He was good, he was VERY good, and he knew it, You could tell. You know like Hot Damn! This is MY stage, MY show! MY Olympic event!
 
 
McCain moved flawlessly from issue to issue question to question with humor I am sure supprised even his enemies. He was "ON" he knew it, this was his time and he ran with it! And another thing he showed us - He CAN communicate! Obama may have an ability to READ good speeches off a teleprompter but McCain showed he can communicate directly and from the heart while not looking at a speech but looking us in the eyes!
 
I am no longer just going along with the results of the primaries. I am now a bonifide dyed in the wool Red White and Blue John McCain supporter with no reservations what so ever. Is he perfrect ? NO. Am I? are you? was Ronald Reagan?  No .
I rest my case!
