The First Presidential Campaign Truly Funded By the Corporations

Obama supporters are exceptionally naive if they really believe this propaganda that Obama is taking a stand against a broken public campaign finance system by not taking public money. Hello, people, he wants to take corporate money - that's why he's not taking public money. Here's a ridiculous comment spammed on the latest AOL Straw Poll (with McCain leading by an overwhelming margin):

Barack Obama just announced a major strategic decision -- this campaign will not participate in the broken public financing system for the general election.
Our opponents are dedicated to manipulating this broken system to raise as much money as possible -- and they've proven they are very good at it.

To compete, Barack has decided to keep putting his faith in ordinary people like you giving only what you can afford.

Your generosity has gotten us this far. Join Barack today by declaring your independence from our broken system.

Many Citizens have declared their Independence from a Broken System by supporting the First Presidential Campaign Truly Funded By the People

Right. As if taking PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS wasn't actually THE PEOPLE funding the campaign. What an amazing spin. Don't fall for it - it's a bunch of lies. Wall Street is where Obama gets his big money from, and that's whose pocket he will be in if he gets elected.

Obama = Dr. Evil

I laughed out loud when I read this columnist's description of the short-lived "Obama for America" presidential seal:

Is Obama a bad man? Of course not. He might make a decent president someday, once he rids himself of the lingering desire to stamp his "Obama for America" campaign seals on his lecterns, like the one with that almost presidential eagle, which looks like something designed for Dr. Evil by a lovingly devoted Mini Me.

(View the seal here.)

An Alternative View on Iraq

I was opposed to the war in Iraq. But now that we are there, I think it's wrong to blanket promise that we can pull troops out immediately without creating a worse situation in the region. I think Obama and his supporters are naive to think that we can pull troops out at lightning speed without it backfiring. Here's an interesting take on the subject:

Why Iraqis Back McCain

Obama Fans Having Second Thoughts

Here is a great video from a thoughtful, recovering Obamabot, who is disappointed about Obama reneging on his pledge to use public campaign financing:



I hate to say it...but...I told you so...this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I Won't Sleep With Obamabots

If you thought Obama Girl was sexist and offensive, wait until you see this stunningly horrible video on YouTube. It's called "Blue Balled" and features a guy trying to get laid, only to have the young woman run out on him when she finds a picture of McCain in the drawer where the condoms are supposed to be. (Warning, the video is somewhat sexually explicit.)

This part of a project by TruthThroughAction.org, who apparently are stupid enough to believe that showing pictures of women in their underwear and a shirt that says "I only sleep with Democrats" is a good way to market the Democratic party.

This is why the left is no longer speaking to me. The left has totally become pornogrified and anti-woman. Do I really care that guys on the left want to save the spotted owl, when on the other side of their mouth they are telling me that I, as a woman, only have value to them when I'm wearing a negligee?

But here's what really blows my mind. Do these guys at the ironically named "Truth Through Action" honestly believe this sort of marketing is going to have any positive impact? Let's look at this somewhat pragmatically, OK?

1. Obama already does well with younger voters. He doesn't need to reach out to them anymore.

2. Obama is having a hard time wooing Hillary's supporters, many of whom are females and mature, strong women. (By "mature," I mean, not 22-years-old and putting up half-naked pictures of themselves on MySpace, not just "old.")

3. Obama also needs to gain the support of the more conservative Reagan Democrats, who he has insulted and pushed aside in his primary bid.

These women and Reagan Democrats are the ones who are going to swing the election either to Obama or McCain. They are the crucial demographic in November. Not a bunch of young idiots who spend their weekends watching E! Entertainment.

So who came up with the "brilliant" idea that Obama needed more MTV-style marketing? Apparently...a couple of young male chauvinists who bought into the line that sex sells.

Sure, sex sells when you are selling sexy underwear, but I don't think it sells when it comes to something IMPORTANT like who is going to be the president of the United States of America.

As a woman, I am so completely offended by this marketing campaign, that not only am I even more turned off of Obama, I am turned off the Democrats as a whole.

I am certain that other, more moderate Democrats will also find this sleazy campaign to be a turn-off. (Never mind the issue of respecting women - the idea that you should be a Democrat just to have cheap sex is offensive and juvenile!)

I'm not against sex. It has its place. But if this campaign is any indication of where our culture is headed...well, let's just say the predictions of "Idiocracy" have already come true.

Well, We Know Now That Hillary Won't be VP

At first, I wanted Obama to pick Hillary as his VP, even though I would have been unhappy with him at the top of the ticket. As I learned more about him, I decided that I absolutely wanted Hillary to stay off of his ticket. I think Hillary should stay as far away from Obama as she can. He's just bad news.

But I've been concerned that, even though it's obvious Obama personally dislikes Hillary, he might have conceded that he really needed her as VP. So I've been waiting somewhat anxiously to see who he will choose.

And now, we have a clear indication that Hillary is not going to be it. Yesterday, we found out that Obama has hired Patti Solis Doyle to be his VP's "chief of staff." Doyle, if you recall, was Hillary's former campaign manager, the one Hillary fired due to her incompetence.

Notwithstanding that it's very bizarre for Obama to be appointing a chief of staff for his veep when normally that's the veep's choice...why on earth would he pick a failed campaign manager for the job?

Some are now speculating that Doyle was on the Obama payroll the whole time, and perhaps was a mole in the Clinton campaign, actively working to sabotage her.

It makes sense when you think about it...because otherwise, why would you choose someone who had screwed up so badly for a plum gig, and at the same time, tick off Hillary and her supporters? There is definitely something fishy going on here.

But the good news in all of this? With Doyle and Clinton not on speaking terms, we now know for certain that Hillary will not be Obama's VP. And HURRAH for that!
