The Phantom Menace

Is there any way to stop the nightmarish drama
That will come if the next President is Barack Obama?
Or are we fated to be sent back on our knees
And deal with another period of “America Under Siege”?

I thought this nightmare ended back in 2001
When the last days of the Clinton administration were done.
I couldn’t have imagined another con-man Democrat
Walking back into the place where Ronald Reagan once sat.

Yet, seven years later, here were are again—
Half the country is rabid, with a fetish and a yen
For a man with virtually no qualification to lead.
Granted, the American mood isn’t hard to read

With gas prices through the roof and an economy in flux.
But that doesn’t mean you vote for a guy who flip-flops and ducks
Whenever hard questions are asked and real issues are raised.
He can only win if a majority of folks are in a daze.

Sadly, it appears that this is actually the case.
In addition to “white guilt”, there is the loyalty of race
Felt by left-wing African-Americans ready to vote for a brother
Filled with dreams from his father and nightmares from his grandmother.

The college kids say Obama fills them up with hope and dreams
But they’re too naïve to realize that he’s not all that he seems.
These twentysomething moonbats never think of matters weighty—
They actually think Lenin passed away in 1980!

The radical professors have Obama on the brain.
In addition to believing that the red states are deranged,
These educators think Barry is the new-age RFK.
They intentionally ignore that he has nothing profound to say!

Will America actually vote for this inexperienced Chicago dope
Whose Presidency will lead to chump change and dashed hopes?
Hey, it could really happen—Barack could receive a push
From voters filled with rage at all things George W. Bush.

Look at the poll numbers—it seems Americans are fixin’
To stick it to a President the left has compared to Nixon.
It doesn’t seem to matter that Bush isn’t running a third time;
So many Americans now seem to think it was a crime

That he was re-elected back in 2004.
The left has tried to argue that McCain will be little more
Than four more years of war, mistakes, and economic trouble.
“You’ve got to vote for Obama,” they say, “and do it on the double!”

Likening McCain to Bush is fairly obvious BS—
But what about those voters who are convinced that there’s a mess
That’s been created by the GOP over the last eight years?
If they all vote for Obama, someone hide the pills and beer!

Mentioning Obama’s middle name seems to cause strife—
But what about the middle name of Barry’s controversial wife?
“Michelle Insane Obama” is a name that truly fits:
It perfectly describes a gal who doesn’t care a whit

About the hurt and angry feelings that her rhetoric causes.
Her rants are about as frequent as her husband’s “ums” and pauses!
How dare she say this is the first time she’s ever been proud
Of the United States—she actually said this stuff out loud?

Having her as First Lady is something I do not want to see—
She’s so annoying it almost makes me nostalgic for Hillary.
Her soul seems to be filled with antagonism and fever:
Do we really need a First Lady who behaves just like a diva?

Under normal circumstances, voters would be rather scared
Of a candidate linked to Wright, Rezko, Clark, Dohrn and Ayers.
But things are quite abnormal in Election 2008--
And we could thus see a result that conservative Republicans will hate.

An Obama Presidency fills me up with dread and fear.
Can we really handle four (or perhaps even eight) years
Of higher taxes, socialism, left-wing judges and moonbat rage?
Obama could do to this country what Gerry Studds did to the page!

Yes, he has a long history of giving conservatives pain,
But, considering the alternative, we have to get behind McCain.
If not, we’ll have a President without gravitas or heft
Who’ll do so little of what’s right--and so much of what’s left.

This read like a country song. The meter is all screwed up and "knees" and "seige" do not rhyme. "Scared" and "ayers" is close enough for a country song. "Fever" and "diva", that is a miss. "Deranged" and "brain" seem to be your affliction in two words, but they also do not rhyme. Don't give up your day job.

How to beat Obama - and win back Congress

Today's IHT has an interesting headline on a campaign story by Patrick Healy
(Published: July 4, 2008): " McCain campaign seeks strategy to attack Obama" - and that's really what you're asking for here too.

I have an idea (for more details see
http://www.winface.com/blogs?p=22 ): a campaign on the theme "Thank a Democrat in November". Basically the idea is to look at things most people agree have gone wrong, blame them on the democrats, and suggest thanking them in the voting booth. Like this:
---
If you love $4 gas, if you enjoy brownouts and blackouts, if an increase in energy prices following every political flicker in the middle east is your cup of tea, if you support handing money and power to people like Chavez and Ahmadinejad - then thank a democrat in November.
---

As a slogan it's an entire campaign - and the nice thing is that it's a shoe that fits. $4+ gas is (at least mainly) the result of Democrats putting partisan ship ahead of country with respect to the Bush-Cheney national energy plan in spring 2001.

Go down the list - from Clinton's appeasement of North Korea (and WTO membership payoff to China) to the imposition of ethanol and cafe standards, poor policy and vacillation are universally to blame - and most of that can be laid at the feet of democrats putting partisanship ahead of the country, their oaths of office, and their constituents.

So "thank a democrat" is a natural response - one lots of people will sign up for and one Obama can't escape from even if he does pick Ms. Kennedy for VP and thus promises the media a new Camelot.

One problem with your idea Murph. Most people aren't stupid.

Way to go Tucker. We'll see who is doing all the crying in 2010.

Paul_Murphy: That's a real good analogy. Looks like you've done your homework. A lot of people don't know about all of those details.

Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July. BA1944.

Tucker has proven once and for all that he is an illegal alien. He is a Vogon.
