My Obama Obsession

Posted by TRO on April 3, 2008

Barack Hussein Obama is the weaker candidate in the general election? Yep, I knew that. Which might make you wonder why I hit on him all the time, when Hillary would be the harder for McCain to beat.

The answer is simple. I believe the Dems are going to nominate him no matter how weak he would be in the general.  They are dead set on “change” and are in love with this guy.   Plus, they know that not nominating him would alienate the black voting block that they so terribly need to win any election.

So they would rather nominate him and lose, and in doing so keep the black vote in their pocket for the foreseeable future, rather than nominate the person who could win, and lose that vote. Which they would. Let’s face it, black Americans have overwhelmingly supported Obama and have all their hopes and dreams bet on him. He isn’t the nominee and you are going to have one pissed-off black voting block who will most probably just not vote at all.

So, since I know Obama is going to be the nominee, I hammering him over and over again to keep his faults - and there are many - out there. Because you know damn-well that the main stream media will not do it. Once he secures the nomination they will turn on McCain like a rabid pit-bull. But the common belief is that when people - moderate Dems and Independents - get to know Obama they will see he is a fake with no real workable policies except higher taxes and socialized everything and, once educated, they will turn to McCain.

So that’s why I keep obsessing over Obama. It’s for the children, don’t ya know.

Ted Turner Is Channeling Charlton Heston

Posted by TRO on April 3, 2008

Ted Turner says global warming will turn us into cannibals in 40 years. That long? Too bad. I know a few tasty brunettes I would put on my menu right now.

See, this is the problem with the new religion called global warming. The believers know they aren’t convincing enough of us fast enough so they start throwing out this moronic nonsense to scare people - mostly kids. I have no doubt that in a few days my youngest son will come home quoting his new-age teacher about how we will have to eat each other to survive when he grows up if we don’t go green.

Plus, Ted Turner is just bat-sh*t crazy. And his restaurants suck. too.

You can read a transcript of this interview here. Turner goes on to show amazing ignorance of our military and our enemies. Frankly, I think the guy may be senile.
