 Too Many -isms Threaten Obama Victory

By Wise 1 - 6/16/2008 ()

obama bested the clinton machine

When I wrote before the Iowa Caucus that nominating either an African-American man or a White Woman could backfire because the country wasn’t ready for it I was hoping to be wrong, I wasn’t. Recent actions by embittered Clinton supporters carry political rifts that reverberate across the media every hour. The sinking Hillary ship pulled the nuclear option and used race and gender to their advantage, now it’s all you hear race, gender, blah, blah, blah. It continues to play out even though Hillary lost. Especially now that some fringe feminists are threatening to vote for McCain. Enough already!

All the excitement in the base generated in the democratic party in the beginning has now dissipated. You had all these rank and file Dems rallying around Obama and Hillary simply because of what they were, not who they were, an African-American, a woman, I found that somewhat alarming before Iowa. I thought we were supposed to be gender and color blind I thought. I worried about the working class White Male voters as being key. Here we had a chance to reach out to the blue collar crowd and prove that the Democratic party …

 Elitists Call Obama an Elitist

By Wise 1 - 6/11/2008 ()

rich people call obama an elitist

You gotta love the Right’s pathetic attempt to make Obama look like an elitist. Here, you have extraordinarily wealthy, spoiled, fat, cigar smoking,, West Palm Beach pundits like Rush Windbag combined with well salaried, latte drinking, ivy league educated, insolated and out of touch “journalists” , and don’t get me started on the politicians (like Bush) who come from a long line of well-to-do political dynasties, trying to tell the average Joe what is elite. It simply doesn’t wash.

As Colbert satirized, conservative NY Times ignoramus, David Brooks, said “Obama is not the kind of guy you’d see eating at an Applebee’s salad bar”. As the brilliant Colbert pointed out, Applebee’s DOESN’T HAVE A SALAD BAR! This $1000 sporty tie wearing NY Times wacko Rightie pundit likely doesn’t know his Popcorn Shrimp Platter from his Red Hot Jalapeño Poppers. Of all people I can’t see eating at an Anytown U.S.A. corporate eatery, it’s political pundits like David Brooks, and while I CAN see Rush stuffing his fat face with Awesome Blossom grease puddles, it is highly unlikely that any of these spoiled brats have ever gotten a callous on their …

 It’s Official Bush is the Worst President in History!

By Wise 1 - 6/10/2008 ()

Bush is the worst President in history

We finally know what the W in George. W. Bush stands for: Worst President in U.S. History. While this is something we rational beings on the Left have long known, now it has been concluded by the leading minds in the field of U.S. history. In a recent article on W.’s recent claims that history will prove him right, the Washington Post is reporting that of 109 leading U.S. historians, only 2 believe Bush will be judged favorably. Even worse for the bumbling Commander-in-Chief, a majority of those 109 believe that Bush is “the worst President in U.S. History!”

Take a moment to realize the gravity of that statement. If Bush was being tried in a court of history, a democratic assembly of the leading authorities in the field concludes that he did such a bad job, that there is no one worse! That’s behind such grand failures as the impeached Andrew Johnson, the incompetent Tyler, useless Buchanan and the scandalized Warren Harding, a President so bad, he would have likely been impeached had he not died of a heart attack!…

 Republican Strategy to Combat Illegal Immigration: Destroy the Economy!

By Wise 1 - 6/4/2008 ()

bush and his magic immigration touch

Turns out Bush and his Republican cohorts managed to do something about immigration after all. By destroying the economy, they’ve made America a less desirable place to work, which in turn has decreased the amount of immigrants venturing into the U.S. However the Republicans didn’t stop there. They’ve screwed up the economy so royally that immigrants already working in this country are going home, as opportunities are drying up, an article in Time Magazine finds.

Isn’t it ironic that while Bush has always been a proponent of exploiting immigrant labor (as it is one of the 3 fundamental components of capitalism), against the will of his party, mind you, his policies damaged capitalism and therefore achieved the desire of his party to put a stop to immigration. It came at the expense of our economy and, perhaps, damaged his party beyond control, but who can argue with success right?

bush's train wreck immigration reform bill

It’s especially ironic since Bush was unable to get his way on immigration reform. Of course, by then, Bush had spent most of his political capital on Social-Security and Iraq like a jittery gambler at the …
