McCain's Next Duty Call
by Tony Blankley
The essence of this election season couldn't be simpler. The American public is so appalled at the condition of the country (which it unfairly, but not implausibly blames on the despised President Bush) that with fate casting John McCain in the role of Bush's surrogate, a majority actually is considering voting for Sen. Obama. And when an electorate is intent on doing something, the last thing it wants to hear about are the facts. Moreover, the public's lack of interest in the facts is facili ...

Nothing but a pure hoax. McCain has outdone Lee Atwater and Carl Rove. Give them Sarah Palin, an extremely dangerous mind and spirit. I want to share what I recently sent to the remarkable Mr. Hannity which is actually my letter to the Palin base: 10/14/08 Mr. Hannity: It pains me to hear your screed and your bloviation each day. "The best lack all conviction, and the worst are full of passionate intensity..." This I think applies to you and the Palin base. Mr. McCain, not having a colleague of his own ilk, gives us the political publicity stunt, a hoax that is Ms. Palin. I hear that Ms. Palin has electrified the her base --- the fundamentalists, the triumphalists, the nativists , the plutocrats, the Charleston Hestonites, the hyper-patriots, the oligarchs, the jingoists, the slavers, the ethnocentrists, the crypto-facists, the authoritarian personality types. Have you seen on youtube that a visiting minister to Ms. Palin's church felt called to cast out witches from Ms. Palin. Am I to conclude that she was possessed by witches? Have you seen that Ms. Palin has been judged to have acted unethically by a commission in Alaska examining her conduct in office? Have you seen that Ms. Palin and her husband have been observed (there is evidence) to be trucking with a rabid group of people who want to break Alaska away from the United States? Is Ms. Palin a patriot or what? Can she be serious about questioning others' loyalty and judgment. I cannot believe she has been part of a group that hates the USA, but the evidence is there. How servile and sycophantish can one get Mr. Hannity? Admit your faults and Ms. Palin's. Your swaggering bluster would be amusing if it were not so full of mischief, unthruths and delusion. You are one of the deluders and time wasters on your great Disney owned American Broadcasting Co. Mr. Hannity, Rush and Savage and Billy Cunningham and O'Riley --- the whole lot of you being sponsored by the people that brought us Bambi and Snow White... If you and yours are not surreal, I don't know what surreal means. Please repent, recant, save yourself and confess on Saturday evening before Sunday. Can anyone tolerate the idea or possibility of Ms. Palin being president of the USA. Mind boggling, nightmarish,not believable, in no way allowable. Mr. McCain needs to not be president just so he will be unable to bring Ms. Palin close to the oval office.

Sir;... perhaps you are right and lightning is striking in a timely fashion around Mr. Obama's carreer. I think I would take a hint and not stand too close. Maybe he did a deal with the devil!... Maybe he is owned by the emohbee. Maybe he is a tool of terrorists. Maybe he is just a tool. In any event if you choose to stand close to him there won't be much room for others, because like the guy studying to be an astronaut, you are taking up space. Lots of space...But not making much sense. You are making a lot of suggestions, not that the better man won, which might possibly be the case.... And it does happen. ...And something else,.. You seem to think it is wrong to hold the government accountable. The government is not a single individual. None of these guys is Henry number seven, or Channel number five. They can be forgiven only because they are not able to escape from the ideas they hold that are a substitute for rational thought. They have principals. They have ideals. Good for them. They can afford them. If I had any principals I would trade them for a car or some other junk... Most people need ideas that work, or at least help them to think. The political ideas abroad today are a substitute for thought They have ideas like capitalism or American ascendency -while we go broke- that have no relationship what so ever to reality. Capitalism soaks us, and when we can't afford to support capital the government throws our futures at the failure to try to make it work. Take a hint... You have an idea...What good is it??? Only as good as it is true to reality. How useful is your idea??? As useful as it gets you into the future all together and in good shape. The ideas of government are failures. They don't pass any rational test. They are supposed to work so they are accepted as though they do work, when they don't work. False ideas do not work. Party politics do not work. Limited democracy does not work. Capitalism does not work. I think government ought to be held responsible. They all want power but they shed responsibility...When the crap finds the lawn mower they all say I'm responsible... What on earth does that mean??? Are they going to stand trial??? No; rather than have the thing work, they just use government to cover each other hoping the favor will be returned. There is no responsibility. Government is organized irresponsibility....Thanks...Sweeney

That Obama has found corruption in others and used that as a springboard to get to his present position is a poor reflection on politics and politicians, not on Obama. Your arguments have no merit, you are all throwing stones in a glass house. You point one finger but the other four point back at you. Your politician'sand choices have corrupted our society.
