RedState’s server crashed with the amount of traffic that hit the site to read this exposé by a former Hillary supporte who went on to work with Obama. The campaign worker has opted to keep her/his identity secret. My instinct says female, but this is unknown. In the wake of the invasion of Joe the Plumber’s privacy, I’d count that wise. For if they do that to the opposition, what could they have in store for an inside traitor and former member of their campaign? I wouldn’t even dare to imagine.
This is a must read in it’s entirety. But I’ll post some excerpts here.
I’m going to let you in on a few secrets here, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I’m doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama. Another reason for my doing this is that I am lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country. Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job – to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope. I’ve come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance.His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans. It has worked up until now. Joe the Plumber has put the focus on the issues again, and this scares us more than anything.
Interesting that Alinsky’s major thrust of campaign organizing is, and I quote, to “rub raw the sores of discontent”. The interesting twist is while Obama riles up the “have nots” with discontent, and then provides government giveaways to appease them, he attempts to do the opposite for the GOP. He merely hopes to “rub raw” and quit there.
Thus the explanation of the Obama campaign mainstays… the constant comparisons of the Maverick with the much maligned George Bush as it’s centerpiece. On that thrust alone, truth is a casualty here. The battles between McCain are notable, and not readily relayed merely by “votes” without examining specifically what those “votes” addressed. Close to half of those will reveal that Obama, himself, also voted the same way McCain did.
The campaign worker lays out the Obama weaknesses in his/her RedState post. First, INRE Hillary… internal campaign gossip says not offering her the Veep slot was a personal decision of Barack and Michelle Obama, and went against his advisors’ suggestions. And because of this, they are not showing that “unity” from the PUMAs they project thru their pet media.
Hillary voters. Internal polling suggests that at best, we are taking 70-75% of these voters. Other estimates are as low as 60% in some areas – particularly Ohio and western PA. My biggest problem with this campaign’s strategy was the decision NOT to offer Hillary the VP slot. She was ready and able to take this on, and would have campaigned enthusiastically for it. This selection would have also brought virtually all of her supporters into the fold, and the Obama campaign knew it. Though I have no way of knowing this for certain, and I do admit that I am relying on internal gossip, Senator Obama actually went against the advice of his top advisors. They wanted him to choose her, but the only significant opposition to this within the campaign came from Barack and Michelle Obama. In short, he let personal feelings take precedence over what was the most logical thing to do.
The other tidbit that gives one a grin is how they cringe, and go on clean up duty after Biden opens his mouth…
The Obama internal polling belies the news reports of the impact of Sarah Palin. It’s impact on the Hillary voters is negligible, but it’s effect on the GOP base is explosive. And with that completely unexpected pick, they threw the Obama campaign into a tizzy.
Sarah Palin. Don’t believe what the media is telling you about how horrible a choice she was. Again, our internal polling suggest that though she has had a minimal impact on pulling disaffected Hillary Democrats to McCain, she has done wonders in mobilizing the base for McCain.
Another thing – we were completely taken by surprise with her pick. In my capacity in the research department, I looked into the backgrounds of Leiberman, Romney, Pawlenty and Ridge, and prepared briefs. I don’t mind bragging that we had pretty good stuff on all of them. With Leiberman, the plan was to paint him as an erratic old-timer who didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing (pretty much a clone of McCain). In Romney, we had him pegged as an evil capitalist who cut jobs. Pawlenty was going to get the “Quayle treatment”, or more precisely: a pretty face, with no valid experience. Tom Ridge was going to be used to provide a direct link from McCain to Bush. As you can see, we were quite enamored of all of them.
Then the unexpected happened – Sarah Palin. We had no clue as to how to handle her, and bungled it from the start. Though through our misinformation networks, we have successfully taken some of the shine off. But let there be no doubt. She remains a major obstacle. She has singlehanded solidified “soft” Republican support, mobilized the McCain ground game, and has even had some appeal to independents and Hillary voters. This is what our internal polling confirms.
Can I take a moment to insert a “na na nanaaa naaaaaaa” here? Boy that felt good… :0)
Here’s my favorite “weakness”…. the Obama campaign has a detailed plan to “distract” for every mention of Obama’s radical preachers, friends and business associates.
Standards operating procedure has been to cry “racism” whenever one of these has been brought up. We even have a detailed strategy ready to go should McCain ever bring Rev. Wright up. Though by themselves they are of minimal worth, taken together, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfelger, and now, Rashid Khalili, are exactly what the campaign does not need. The more focus on them, the more this election becomes a referendum on Obama.
The campaign strategy from the very beginning was to make this election a referendum on Bush. Strategists have been banging their head on how successfully McCain has distanced himself from Bush. This has worked, and right now the tide is in his favor. People are taking a new look at Barack Obama, and our experience when this happens tells us this is not good news at all. When they take a look at him, one or more of these names are bound to be brought up.
McCain has wisely not harped on this in recent weeks and let voters decide for themselves. This was a trap we set for him, and he never fully took the bait. Senator Obama openly dared him to bring up Ayers. This was not due to machismo on the part of Obama, but actually due to campaign strategy. Though McCain’s reference to Ayers fell flat in the last debate, people in the Obama campaign were actually disappointed that he didn’t follow through on it more and getting into it. Our focus groups found this out: When McCain brings these connections up, voters are turned off to him. They’d rather take this into consideration themselves, and when this happens, our numbers begin to tank.
According to this campaign researcher, there is a “Bradley effect” noted, and the true toss up states are Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa. He/she also says they have next to no chance in the following states: Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada.
Anyone got an electoral map handy? I know how people love to play with the colors….
The final comments are something that comes as no surprise… Obama’s “cyber hit squad”, as I like to call the faithful. And of course, there is the main campaign talking point that we’ve heard from so many here… Don’t you guys get it?
This has been the Obama campaign’s sole strategy from the very beginning! The only way he wins is over a dispirited, disorganized, and demobilized opposition. This is how it has been for all of his campaigns.
What surprises me is that everyone has fallen for it.
You may point to the polls as proof of the inevitability of all of this. If so, you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. How did we skew these polls, you might ask? It all starts with the media “buzz” which has been generated over the campaign. Many stories are generated on the powerful Obama ground game, and how many new voters were registered. None of this happens by coincidence. It is all part of the poll-skewing process.
This makes pollsters change their mixes to reflect these new voters and tilt the mix more towards Democratic voters. What is not mentioned or reported on is not the “under-reported cell phone users or young voters” we hear so much about. What is underreported is you.
This campaign worker officially lost the taste for an Obama presidency during the unfair and sexist campaign against Sarah Palin. No clue who he/she would vote for, since this worker did state major disagreements with Palin’s policies.
But we sure know this is one campaign worker who won’t be voting for Obama.
Vietnam era Navy wife, indy/conservative, and an official California escapee now residing as a red speck in the sea of Oregon blue.
I got a kick out of the research they did on everyone else, not expecting McCain to pick Palin.
Here’s another guilt ridden Obamabot comment that surfaced shortly before RedState got this:
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/confession-of-an-obama-blogger-by-sarah-p-as-posted-to-this-site/
Hillbuzz also has a thread about how Obama’s people infiltrate blogs. I think I saw styx post a portion of it yesterday after it went up.
I wonder if this is the same person. The points are similar, altho this worker doesn’t profess the strength of support for Hillary that the above did.
However the campaign methods laid out are similar.
Frankly, none of this comes as a surprise to me because these are all obvious methods in the Obama campaign. But sometimes, you can point out the existance of the giraffe in the room, and people still miss that sucker.
I do, however, expect the Obama campaign to spin these on their pet media shows as non-existent Obama personnel, and yet another GOP stunt. But then, we’ve seen how they treat those that use their real name. Imagine what they would do to their own campaign rebels if their identities were known.
jesus that is twisted, power and winning at all costs. is that what being president has come to? i am glad these things are fionally coming out, a bit to late if you ask me but at least they are coming out. i wonder what else we will find whent he rocks start to be turned over. i could never in good conscience set out to destroy anyone, it really takes a sick perosn to do those things. good work as always mata, and you also missy, you guys are awesome. btw, as i was at work taking a break outside i kept hearing hinking and screaming/cheering. so around the corner i went to see what was going on. there was an entire family with hhomemade signs out in support of mccain/plain. they were there in the rain showing there patriotism and support. i thanked them and i had already voted for them. our town has a larger republican base and there was alot of honking, yeah. then of course i had to get back to work, but i was glad to see that family there.
Mata, here’s another one:
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/10/notes_from_a_battleground_stat.html
I noticed a comment wondering how they got the video from something left on an office machine.
I’ve never, in all my years, seen anything like this happen before. I’m starting to get suspicious, we know they are monitoring blogs, these disgruntled employees say so. The author of the letter to RedState shouldn’t be too difficult to track down. Would something be gained by Obama’s camp to plant stuff like this all over?
Anything’s possible, Missy. As we saw with the Ron Paul wacko who carved the B in her cheek and made false assault charges in the name of McCain, crazies are coming out of the woodwork.
The monitoring blogs, campaign thrust of making McCain synonymous with McCain, the cyber hit squad at the Hillary and right wing blogs… none of this stuff is really new.
What seems to be different about this campaign worker’s post is the internal polls, the specifics on Palin being a surprise, and the dirt/talking points dug up on the expected Veep choices. All else was apparent to me with or without the above RedState post.
Is there something to be gained by the Obama camp by “pretend rebels” pointing out their campaign strategy? Not that comes to me at the moment. Frankly, the DNC faithful will gloss it over as “smart campaigning”…. ala any end justifies the means for Obama to win.
Will it affect some indies? Quite possibly. Would their status as an Obama plant change the context of what is said? Don’t think so. Like I said, so much appears obvious anyway.
I wouldn’t want to track down the author of the letter, myself. For obvious reasons, staying anonymous was a choice to not be innudated, or having privacy infringed. I’ll respect that.
But I’ll bet there’s more than a few Obama lover media quite busy at the moment. If it’s a fake, we’ll probably know with 72 hours.
No surprise here. Obama had those vicious tactics written all over his face, from the first time a saw him. I cannot believe he fooled so many people. It is so obvious if you look at him with a bit of intensity.
This is why, when a see a Republican going pessimist over McCain, it kills me. I cannot believe they have fallen in his trap. I try to boost them up a bit. It is such a loser attitude to surrender to defeat before the election. Like McCain said: “Stay strong. Do not yield. Do not flinch. Stand up. … We’re Americans. We’re Americans, and we’ll never surrender.”
I don’t think anything this woman says is true, I am pretty sure that ANY staffer for any campaign has to sign some sort of confidentiality agreement. Nice try, but just sounds like some more propaganda to me.
I hope it’s a case of these workers suffering the guilt of having been in the bowels of the Obama campaign and now want to somehow make things right with the country. With the AT case, we can write that off as stupid carelessness, but…..it’s all so weird. I hope they aren’t playing head games.
Craig, I love your spirit!
@MataHarley: You can’t be saying you think the republican party is innocent? You don’t remember the 2000 election, do you? Or the 2004 election? The point is ALL politicians have tricks up thier sleeves. John McCain included.
@voter:
I was a staffer for my US Congressman and *did not* have to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Wow, real people! Obama did not fooled them. Gotta see this video
THE SIDEWALK TO NOWHERE, McCAIN SUPPORTERS IN BETHLEHEM, PA
and Craig provides direct here. Courtesy embed…
There is no doubt that politics is one ugly biz, and that all parties tend to engage in unsavory actions, Erika/voter. You’ll get no argument of that from me.
I’m not sure what you believe does not ring true?
1: That they manipulate the media into stories? That they haven’t fed them extraordinary “voter registration” numbers from organization they so love to distance themselves from, ACORN?
2: That they weren’t completely caught off guard by Palin? That they had their cyber hit squads embark on a misinformation campaign about her? Or did you think all those Palin smear stories were generated by the GOP?
3: Do you question that it was the Obama’s themselves that nixed Hillary as Veep when the logic pointed to uniting the party by selecting her?
4: Do you doubt their internal polls may not be giving them the same boost of confidence as they like to have the media project? Hang, maybe that’s why ol’ slow Joe is out there today saying “This election’s going to be a lot closer than everybody thinks it is.”
5: Maybe you doubt that whenever Wright and the nefarious characters that make up Obama’s life are mentioned, that they oh so subtly play the race card. ala when Obama warned his merry band of followers that McCain will try to say he “doesn’t look like other Presidents” on a dollar bill… this despite the fact McCain never has, and never will go in that direction. The only one talking about Obama being black is Obama and his followers.
So what seems like “propaganda” to you, Erika? Perhaps you just don’t want to believe that it’s possible an Obama campaign worker found his methods disgusting… I know I would.
I think that I’ll take all these confessions with a grain of salt. Odd that they all come out now, not word for word, but nearly so, on different blogs. Maybe some reverse psychology? Think about it, someone out there thinking ” Well, hell if McCain’s got it sown up, why do I need to go out and vote?” Maybe I’m being paranoid, all these posts coming out now, just seems fishy to me.
Believe ’em or not, just make sure to get out and vote. Don’t let anyone saying “it’s a sure thing” or “what’s the use, he can’t win” keep you from going to vote, just GO!
Sarge
I’ve been looking for this article for two days. I’m glad you found it Mata.
The part that especially hits home is the tactics they planned to use against whoever McCain’s running mate was. Sort of takes the wind out of the sails of the gutless wonders who think we would somehow be ahead right now if McCain had picked someone else as his running mate.
“Craig, I love your spirit!” Ericka (Voter)
And I hate yours. I do not know what you are doing on this blog. I cannot understand why you would want to chat with us on election night. You are so sure THE ONE will win, so what the hell will you be doing here? Nag us? Don’t you think you would be better off on a leftist democrat’s blog, cheering and celebrating with alike?
If McCain wins, none of us would think to go on a leftist democrat blog to nag people, we would stand together and celebrate. I’ve been reading all your comments and I think you are really sick.
I am intolerant to the tolerance of the owners of this blog. Why do they accept you here? I really don’t know. Mata says it is for the respect of freedom of speech. I don’t buy that stuff. In “Freedom of speech”, there is more responsibilities than rights. You cannot come and say anything you want. You cannot go in a Justice of Court and call the Judge a Fu….ing asshole. If you are married, you cannot call your wife or husband or kids fu…ing assholes. It is not true that you can say anything you want with no account of responsibility. I do not think that Mata would tolerate a husband that would call her a whore, or whatever… even for the sake of “freedom of speech”. There is a limit to “freedom of speech”… it is called respect.
I do not mind leftists that are here for exchanging views. If they are willing to hear our point of view and learn things. But MOONBATS LIKE YOU ARE A PUBLIC NUISANCE. You will keep believing in THE ONE even if he rapes one of your kids in front of you. You are hopeless and clueless. Are you paid by Obama to do that shit? I would think so. There are many more like you on this blog that pisses me off. FA is a decent blog site; their authors are well informed and pleasant to read. So why are you here? To try to lower the standards of this blog? I would be the owner; I would not tolerate you for a second. You are not here to learn, you are here to nag, misinformed and spread hate.
Leftists can bring good exchanges if the are intelligent. But we do not need moonbats like you to make useless confrontation. We are able to confront each other here without people like you. I am challenging all the authors of this blog by this comment. So you see, we do not need you, to have some extensive exchanges. We can do it ourselves.
Well, Craig…. uh… after that tirade against voter/Erika, would it be imprudent of me to point out that the person who said “Craig, I love your spirit” was Missy??
But since you brought me into your post, let me address this:
Well, yes. As an ex-battered wife, I have a low tolerance level for those in my personal world and their treatment. I learned something in that era of life… there are two that are sick. The beater, and the beat’ee. I cured my part. And now, I let no one into my personal world that is that abusive.
However in a community… whether it be a neighborhood, or a cyber community such as FA, I’m not so thin skinned. I’ve certainly had my fair share of insults hurled my way in my time here. No biggie. So I do not liken this community to those who have access to my personal life physically.
And for those physical “site pests” who dare to come at me with harm? I am fully armed and a good shot…. with every intention of staying that way, despite Obama’s not so subtle desire to erode the RKBA.
@MataHarley: You are funny, when you say Erika/Voter, you remind me of a parent upset with their child and calling them by their full name 🙂
But to your post, I have no idea what the heck happened with ACORN, as most people. I do know that the republicans have, had their fair share of dirt with voter fraud in some way or another. Be it not counting the votes in Florida, or just plain old fashion intimidation tactics. Among many others, on both sides I’m sure.
As for being caught off guard, heck yeah, America was caught off guard, and it was a good trick at first. That is untill she actually opened her mouth and spoke. Hillary supporters are used to a smart women to follow. McCain probably should have looked a little more in depth to her “baggage”. The nature of the game in politics is to discredit the opponent. Palin made it easy for them, that’s the sad thing, for republicans that is.
And as for not picking Hillary for VP. That would have been a mess, there would have been a power struggle there. Not to mention, the fact that this would be the first black President, I don’t think that America would be ready for that AND the first woman. Sad to say, he needed a white MAN for VP.
The polls, they don’t matter much anyways, I look at them, but Kerry was up double digits. I have went canvassing, and I live in sw ohio, I would have thought there would be alot more McCain supporters, but its about 50/50 here, from what I’ve seen, as opposed to 04. It is more conservative in this part of the state. So I’m willing to bet up in Cleveland and Columbus, where it is more liberal, the numbers in Ohio favor Obama. That says alot more to me then the polls.
Again, the nature of the game is to try to discredit the opponent, and so things get spun. McCain has had some pretty shady characters in his life as well, connections to the mafia. The day we find a candidate with NO BAGGAGE, that’s the day we have a Manchurian candidate.
I have no doubt that someone involved in ANY campaign, would find campaining methods “disgusting”, I don’t think McCain’s methods have been any less “disgusting”. I have a hard time believing that in this day and age there wouldn’t be confidentiality agreements. I know Missy said she didn’t have to sign one. The question is how long ago was that?
We can’t believe that any one party has their hands clean. I do believe that Obama has run his campaign with the most integrity. That is my opinion.
@Craig: Are you okay? Why are you such a negative, hateful person? I am glad that you don’t have any say in what happens in the US. Your views are so extreme, and you are belligerent in the way you convey them. People can have views that differ from yours.
I have not been abusive in my posts, to anyone, least of all Mata.
Please do not confuse or compare me to someone who would be abusive, I take real offense to that, as a former battered wife as well.
If you don’t like what I have to say, just don’t read, but it’s a free country, and I like this site and I’m here to stay, like it or not.
Hey, Mata, that is really funny. I thought it was Erika Voter trying to nag me, likes she does with everybody, and like she will be doing to us on election night if THE ONES wins. Following that last Sentence: “Craig, I really like your spirit”… was Erika Voter comment. I read quickly thru the comments to catch up the exchange and got confused… lol
Sorry Missy, I really like you and I enjoy every one of your comment. And thanks for that compliment.
Mata, I understand what you are saying, but my experience has proven you wrong. You tolerate one moonbat, then comes another one, and another one and another one “ad vitam aeternam… till “ad nauseam”. I have seen so many conservative blogs in Québec go down the drain, after being invaded by moon bats. Why do you think I blog on an American blog? Because there is only one conservative blog remaining in Quebec and it is about to be ruined by now. Moonbats like Voter are almost the majority there.
But, you are the owners, it is your blog and you decide. I am just warning you. I really like this site, I proved it by my numerous comments, and I would hate to see it invaded by stupid leftists like Voter, Fit Fit, Real American Hater, Doug, Kool aid, Dave Noble, etc.
P.S.: BTW, thanks Mata for embedding my videos.
My Congressman has nothing to hide, he runs an honest campaign, no need for confidentiality agreements. We had a volunteer that became frustrated with sign stealing, at that point, we were all frustrated with that particular candidate, he still expected that we treat her with respect even though she negatively brought his children into the campaign. Word came back that the volunteer removed the opponents signs in retaliation, he was dismissed from the campaign. All that was expected of us was to treat the constituents with dignity and concern and show respect to the opponents. I went through three campaigns with him. He’s my Congressman, Obama is my Senator, world of difference between their character and honesty.
Craig, INRE your:
First, I’m not an owner, but an “honored guest author”. I do not presume to take liberties with Curt’s stellar creation, which garnered massive attention back in 2006, and has grown from there. For that authorship privilege, I am granted access to extra features, but also try not to abuse that invitational gift. I will also defer to FA’s “founding father”, Curt.
I wouldn’t worry so much about site infestation, Craig. Fit, “CRAP”, aka Sky55110 in his previous incarnations here, Doug and Dave Noble all predate me here on this site (May of this year). It appears it has survived quite nicely despite their presence.
And you’ll notice Doug tipped the scales out of favor when he insisted on insulting veteran and Hanoi Hilton survivor, McCain, as a coward. Over the top for me, IMHO.
Voter/Erika (which I use both names so that no one is confused when I call you Erika only, BTW… LOL), Kool Aid and Jasmine/David/David101 are infrequent in their appearances. Strikes me as the FA community still remains quite strong in majority conservatives participating, with a few peppered in to keep the choir more interested.
And you’re welcome for the courtesy embeds. It make it easier for everyone to view.
Jesus Christ….please don’t tell me the uploader/owner of that video intended it to be a positive reflection of McCain supporters?
@Wordsmith: The sad thing is Craig likes it, cuz thats him. He relates to people like that.
Wordsmith,
Yes it was. I mean that even if the MSM tried so hard to hide all these facts, all his bad associations, those people got the information anyway. When you hang around with terrorists, American haters, Jew Haters and crooks, and cannot present a birth certificate, that says a lot about who you really are. Obama did not fooled them. But he sure did fool Erika Voter.
Being the objective and even handed sort I can see the merits in both Mata’s and Craig’s arguments.
On the one hand, I agree with Mata and am confident that our conservatives aren’t likely to abandon us en masse with the current rate of moonbat infestation.
However, I fully understand Craig’s point of view, based as it is on experience, whereby a blog can get overwhelmed with leftwing moonbats and ruin the experience for the rest of us.
I’m often criticized at Mike’s America for permitting too many loons to comment. In fact, “Arthur” who is banned from this blog still contributes his nasty drivel at Mike’s America (though I do tend to limit him to infrequent comments and not the daily dump of bile he would prefer). I cannot recall ever having recommended banning someone from F.A. though I have been in favor of censure from time to time (Doug’s comment about McCain being a coward).
With that balanced record as my credential, allow me to offer this conclusion: While moonbats do provide a useful service (no one would believe us if we told them what some of these loons think) allow too many to dominate the comment boards and it inhibits, not encourages readership. We don’t want an echo chamber, but neither do we want a left wing freak show.
At the point where the moonbat becomes little more than an insult machine (like DW, and perhaps David101),I tend to prefer nipping them in the bud with a warning, followed by deleting their comment if they persist. Banning entirely should be the last resort and reserved mostly for the really vile little moonbats who blow in during periods whe the moon is full.
But that’s just my opinion based on my own experience trying to balance the needs of my readers.
Craig,
I mean the one who actually filmed and posted the home video on YouTube. Title of this video is a giveaway; looking at some of his other video uploads, I’d say confirms he’s not a McCain supporter.
Interviewing the people in line, he’s baiting them with questions meant to ferret responses out of them that gives liberals plenty of ammo when they accuse McCain supporters of being racists and hate-mongers. Calling Obama a terrorist (as opposed to someone who’s “palled around with terrorists”) and a Muslim (not true, and if so, so what?) just feeds into the leftwing stereotype of rightwingers as ignorant racist neanderthals.
No, Obama didn’t fool them; but they sure drank the rightwing koolaid.
Mike! You’re a supporter of the cyber homeless! That is so kind of you….
One thing about Arthur… his pointless posts were at least terse.
It may be an Obama tactic to try to draw some similarity between the current struggle Obama is having with the stronger McCain and the fight he had with Lady Clinton.
This time McCain has the advantage. People see Obama as a socialist, a liar and a fake. Obama’s wasted almost $600 Million dollars and has nothing to show for it.
Make no mistake, the Obama-ites are out with their fake blogs. The Obama-ites do call-ins to the radio shows; but they are put down by the experience of blogger admins and sharp radio hosts.
Obama’s support is falling fast. The polls have him BEHIND McCain and Obama is DOWN from one to several points.
All McCain ads are FULL STEAM AHEAD: Check-out the new ads from LET FREEDOM RING at

Let’s ELECT John McCain … PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
You’re right Wordsmith. This video wasn’t well done. I had my doubt that it could have come from a stupid leftist, since in the end, all you see is Omamatrons holding Obama/Biden signs.
But still, at least it tells us that the information got thru. Those people wont let this country in Obama’s hands, that is for sure.
@voter:
I think you need to appreciate the love Craig has for this country. Living in Canada, experiencing socialism first hand, he’s frustrated that it might happen here. You might want to pay a bit of attention to what he’s trying to tell us.
Perhap’s this video was set up to counter the Manhattan McCain supporter video. That’s what went through my mind when I saw it.
INRE the “Sidewalk to Nowhere” video…. hey, the ACORN dude got it right. He’s one of the few voters/man on the street that know ACORN was one of the main lobbyists for subprime risky loans for the unqualified, that Obama represented ACORN in redlining lawsuits, *and* that they have a voter registration arm that engages in nation wide fraud.
Some of the others? Yep. About as embarrassing as the Harlem voters… which, in case any of you missed it… is repeated from the Howard Stern show a few weeks ago below.
There is one lone McCain supporter in Harlem, who’s not included in these three interviews. But it has to be noted that they did the reverse, and applied Obama’s policies to McCain. Same result…. duh wuh.
“While moonbats do provide a useful service (no one would believe us if we told them what some of these loons think) allow too many to dominate the comment boards and it inhibits, not encourages readership. We don’t want an echo chamber, but neither do we want a left wing freak show.” (Mike)
I agree perfectly with you, Mike. Useful idiots, if they are not too many, could be a fair solution.
Adrian S,
WOW! There are some very powerful short ads on ” Let freedom ring”. Tell me, are those ad only on Internet or if they are on television also?
@Craig:
Craig, that is an excellent dissertation on the difference between a raging moonbat who should not be tolerated, and a decent, civilized lefty who deserves a chance to be heard.
In Howard Stern’s video the people interviewed were made out to be complete fools. They have no idea about the issues or even who is Obama’s running mate. It is sad that people like this are surely voting for Obama for the color of his skin, nothing more and nothing less.
In the “sidewalk to nowhere” though some of the people are crude they are nowhere near as crude as the lefties have been. But face it, some people on both sides are crude and tempers are running hot. And I agree the people who taped this video had a hidden agenda but what came through instead is that there are a lot of democrats who are angry with Obama and are not fooled. This is bad news for Obama. There are a lot of people who do not like McCain but will hold their noses and vote for him and there may be a like kind in the Obama camp but these people are not in that group. Also even though the tape ended with the loons on the left holding homemade signs they all look utterly clueless.
I adjusted the electoral map on…;

…with the states as the writer noted in paragraph 4;
Adjusting the map and putting Ohio in the McCain column yields:
Obama – 227 Electoral Votes
McCain – 250 Electoral Votes
Last week the Governor of Pennsylvania called Obama and told him he needed to get right back out there for more rallies. In the revised map, a Pennsylvania win would give McCain 271 electoral votes and the win.
No wonder the moonbats (or Obama campaign workers pretending to be moonbats) are PO’ed. The talking points certainly aren’t working here are they David101, RAP, & others? You’ll know who the campaign workers are when they stop showing up in the posts on the 5th. They won’t be getting paid any more, so why bother?
I also figured Acorn instigators on that vid, you’ll note that you can’t hear what the people with Obama-Biden signs are shouting out because they conveniently fade to background music during that portion.
@Mike’s America:
No need to worry Mike, I will not hesitate to cut off those who have wornout their welcome. Jasmine/David is close to being shown the door with her earlier “idiots” accusation. Give them plenty of rope is my philosophy. They will show their true colors, as Doug did.
But as you can tell from the last few hours of comments, many of the libs are just drive-by’s who get here from some link, spew some idiocy and then never come back. They are always fun to keep around as a billboard to the rest of us. A billboard of leftist ideology that has ruined many a country, and hopefully we can prevent from happening to us in a few days.
nice made up story
