News Flash: Obama (Almost) Saves The World [Reader Post]

Most people like “Trump, Bolton, Gingrich, Cain” can’t win? Well that remains to be seen, yes rich? Do leave the tarot card neon for the window behind, please.

I’m not sure why you are so concerned that we compromise our political principles by settling for a Romney or Huckabee rather than going “down in glorious far right flames”. But frankly, that’s none of your business who a conservative chooses to support. We tried the “compromise” with McCain, and that gets us no where. On the other hand, the fiscal conservative promises (different from reality, as we will see) did yield stellar results in the midterms. Either way, your opinion is not only not necessary, it’s questionable in it’s intent. So my suggestion is can it, or take it where it will be appreciated. Because I need no lectures from you on who I choose to support, who I deem worthy of support, nor do I have any respect for your attempt at political tarot card reading.

If you want to rest your seer abilities on Angle in Nevada, where the state was 55/42 for Obama, then a nobody fighting lots of Reid money/propaganda power did quite well getting 44% in that state. Almost embarrassingly well (for Reid, an establishment politician), in fact. As far as O’Donnell, considering that she got 40% of the vote for a state that went 61/36 for Obama in 2008, I’d say that was an impressive showing as well. Both races are indicative that your euro-socialist stronghold mentality is losing it’s grip in even the most formidable of Dem blue states.

Now what needs to play out is the rest of the Obama lame duck term. The GOP is not off to a good start with their lame duck session concessions, and their pathetic budget rolled out today. But then, it’s still preferable.. this fiscal death from a thousand cuts vs the Dem death by slashing your wrists financially… to Dem rule. Because for each paper cut they inflict, conservatives will boot them out in the next election until we actually have policy makers true to fiscal responsibility. And we won’t be getting that from Mr. Romney’care, nor the likeable but still a RINO Huckabee.

Obama is “up” in the polls compared to what? Certainly not his glorious entry into the WH. It’s all relative, rich. And polls – a waste of time, IMHO – vary from week to week and responder’s whim to whim. Nor can you viably claim that the “majority” of Americans think Rush is a buffoon. Obviously you are unaware of the scope of his listening audience. Such statements are absurd on their face, made out of emotions instead of facts, and allow you to willingly step into a world of ridicule you deserve for bandying about such nonsensical talking points.

As far as your concept on Egypt, you have fallen hook, line and sinker for the media spin. This is about as Democratic a movement as Zawahiri is in favor of Democracy, and is in no way part of Bush’s pro democracy agenda. Granted, some of the protesters may desire more western style rule, but we have no numbers of that. Nor have we seen signs and banners that proclaim such western style reform. There is no leadership and political reform agenda that resembles “democracy” associated with this protest. Even the protestors are divided… many are the Egyptian prisoners who escaped at the end of January. Others are the young out of work men with questionable political ties… but it sure isn’t pro capitalism. No “leaders” have emerged, save for El Baradei, who was prodded and aided by both the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Google executive who set up his social website network to help organize the protests – all meant to accomplish one thing only… dissolve the current government and throw the nation into organized chaos.

Even today they continue the same BS lines… knowing that Mubarak will no longer be a leader after the next election. But no.. that’s not good enough. THe chaos and disruption has not been achieved, has it? Wake up, rich. Take a deeper look than Anderson Cooper’s plaintive whining and editorial massaging.

I will put this to you simply for consideration. Even if the protestors numbered 800,000 in the streets, they represent 1/100th of Egypt’s population. Let me repeat… that is .01% of the entire Egyptian population.

If you consider that some have estimated 27% of Americans are skeptical of Obama’s birthplace, how would you feel if birthers and birth skeptics launched protests, threw over 2008 election results by rioting in the streets and demanded Obama ousted?

Finished pondering that parallel? Good.

Now, how would you feel if other nations chimed in, demanding that Obama resigned because of the rioting in the streets?

What you fail to notice is that the protestors don’t demand anything more than Mubarak’s ouster. Unlike Iraq’s protests in the past days, asking for better and more affordable infrastructure; or the US tea party members demanding fiscal responsibility; the Egyptian protestors are a one trick monkey of ideas… Mubarak must go, and be damned how a “transition” happens, or what that “transition” is. This doesn’t make you suspicious? And if not, why? Don’t most protests have a clear message other than “GO!”

Instead you blindly assign a protest to something that is not substantiated by fact or numbers, and is in fact is a movement detrimental to stability or their current rule of law. Mubarak was elected six years ago… as they do every six years. Was the election rigged? Dunno. Then again, even our elections have their flaws. That is Egypt’s onus to bear.

But ponder this…. Why demand he step down immediately, triggering a Constitutional mandate for emergency elections in 60 days when none can be ready, instead of launching effective protests and electoral options just a few months from now? Will the nation, under his control and at peace with the US and Israel, fall apart before September?

Or does the reality that something really stinks here escape your factoids?

Mubarak was an ally… much as Musharraf was an ally. There’s another one the media demonized. Oh yes.. we are soooo much better with Bhutto’s sloppy widower leftovers. Bhutto, whose corrupt regime was the mother of the Taliban in Afghanistan, but was canonized in the western media’s eyes in order to take down Musharraf. In fact, have a good look around Pakistan. Are they, or are they not having even more problems with terrorists in their midsts since Musharraf? Is Pakistan better off now than with a quasi-US ally in the seat of power? And is the US better off with Pakistan with Musharraf gone?

Bush had common sense Obama lacks. He didn’t dump an ally overboard, and he let the Pakistan election run it’s course. Not with this bozo-in-chief.

If Mubarak is the “ruthless thug” you say, then Israelis did well to have a “ruthless thug” in power these years who honored the treaty. And the US did well to have that same “ruthless thug” who had our backs with the global Islamic jihad movements. He deserved far better than Obama gave, and Egypt now knows that as long as Obama, or one like him, is in charge, the US is a fair weather friend quick to throw another body under an already crowded bus. A Muslim leader of a Muslim nation will never be the same kind of ally as a western leader. We can only expect so much of them. But then, Obama’s busy mowing our western allies down too, turning them in for treaty chits that mean zip, nada, nothing.

Obama has been on the wrong side of “pro democracy” forces three times in his brief US reign, rich. He ignored the Iranian protestors’ plea for legit elections. He dissed Honduras for kicking out a wannabee dictator, as per their Constitutional law, and demanded that despot be reinstated. Now he has thrown an ally by the wayside, and supported a small percentage of street rioters and thugs – with only one message meant to create chaos – and advocated actions contrary to Egyptian Constitutional law

… oh wait, he’s changed his mind with the polls four times on Egypt already… First support for Mubarak, then support for the protestors, then demands Mubarak leave *now*, and finally quietly agreeing with his smarter envoy who noted leaving now is insane. Why the vacillation? Because he’s a foreign policy doofus who represents a danger to this nation in all aspects. The sooner this guy leaves the people’s house, the safer we will be.

I will, however, agree with you on one point. The Egyptian army loves our outfitting, and our training. They love coming to the US to become “the best that they can be”, so yes… we have allies in their army. And they have conducted themselves with a US style of posse comitatus for the duration of this that does US trainers proud. However like Pakistan, the army can be infiltrated and there is no doubt the Muslim Brotherhood has the possibility of assuming power… using their puppet El Baradei. And make no mind, once they have installed him, and used him for a short time, he’ll be booted out the door as well. So you are banking on very shaky odds there.

rich, on Jan 31st, thousands escaped Egyptians jails in the turmoil. I was listening to an Egyptian scholar on a talk show a few days ago… can’t remember his name, and he was the one who first mentioned it. He had the number at 5000. Said they had no cars, no jobs, no money, and no way to leave the area to avoid the curfew. Oddly enough, they had some outside help in that escape…. gee… wonder by who and why? *not* Coincidental that one of those facilities housed the Muslim militants? Gangs of armed men releasing militants and thugs from multiple prisons… think that was Mubarak supporters, releasing Mubarak prisoners?

And you should read more “after that” because obviously you aren’t in possession of enough facts to combat your emotional responses.

And just how many protestors do you think there has been at max? Because it sure ain’t 800,000… The largest number I’ve seen reported was from Muslim Brotherhood friendly, Al Jazeera, and their timeline, which had it at 250,000. And how many of them are Muslim Brotherhood, along with the jail escapees? Do we know?

So subtract your estimate of Muslim Brotherhood, the jail escapees from 250,000. Take that number and divide it by the 80 million Egyptians, and tell me what percentage is now dictating to Egypt and the bozo in chief how to run that nation?

Again, what we do know is that they have no demands for democratic reform. Only calls for Mubarack to leave immediately. How convenient is that? How against the Egyptian Constitution would that be? Again, you choose to ignore the obvious because you so want to believe the media BS.

You call two nobodies, getting 2-4 more % vote than Obama did during the 2008 election in blue heavy states, and running against established Dem gubernatorial candidates “a thrashing”? How sad for *you*! Perspective and strategy is evidently not your strong suit.

I never expected either to win. That wasn’t rocket science. It was the political machine and money. That they fared so well, and that the midterms totally *thrashed* the Dems is quite the moral statement. Or, perhaps better put, a statement on the lib/prog political immorality.

I’ll certainly agree you and the Colonel ain’t mealy mouthed no more.Bombastic Rush would be proud.

really now, rich…. such a juvenile personal snipe. OT can speak for himself, but I have *never* been mealy mouthed – as my mother would be prone to aver. However the cross voting Nan G mentioned, where I laughed because she accused me of naivety, is a political primary reality. For me to be naive, as she suggests, would demand that I ignore the success and expedition of Operation Chaos to benefit Hillary by the GOP. And also to assume that I was dumb enough not to recognize the GOP’s own worst enemy in 2008 – as well in the run up to the 2010 midterms – was not cross voters, but the GOP establishment themselves.

I am neither naive, nor dumb. But I do get amused at those who have a somewhat narrow vision of current events, and don’t recognize decided changes in power and influence.

The GOP establishment, right along with your Dems/libs/progs, had their hands slapped soundly by the midterm results… much to their chagrin. And that includes Ms. Palin’s success percentage of supported candidates who won their races. You know, those ones who “can’t win”, in your less than credible esteem? Perhaps you think there were only two of those candidates… but then that’s not my fault you’re not up on things.

Both major political parties are on official notice. What flew in Congress pre-tea party movement will not fly so easily post tea party movement. It’s a new day, and we’re all dollar poorer. Spending by either party is only going to result in more joining the fiscal responsibility demand fray.

anticsrocks… you did, you did! I saw that curse word… *dare* I repeat it???? Heaven forgive me for such an atrocity passing my cyberlips But we can’t have you in the dark about your usage of foul terms, can we? You said……

Olbermann!

You should most immediately apologize for exposing us all to such foul and unacceptable language!
