The State of the Race

Sorry I’ve been out of the loop, but its been rather busy ’round the Noonan household and, also, I didn’t get to see the debate live but had to watch it in rebroadcast late last night. So, anyways – Sarah Palin beat the living poop out of Biden last night. I mean, it was as if an adult were engaged in a debate with a six year old. I’ve never seen so many lies from one man in one night – and the real absurdity of it was the childishness of the lies. When Biden whipped out his assertions about the US and France kicking Hezbollah out of Lebanon I was confronted with the fact that Biden is an idiot – he was just making things up as he went along, much as a six year old will do when cornered on the question of who broke the living room lamp. If Obama does manage to win then I will pray daily for his good health, because Biden’s intellectual capacity places in doubt his ability to so much as tie his own shoes. How does that dunce manage to get re-elected? For crying out loud, doesn’t anyone in Delaware realize that he’s an ill-informed gasbag?

So, anyways, the debate went well for Governor Palin and, therefor, for the McCain campaign – and I note that Team McCain already has an ad out taking Biden to task for his whoppers, and by extension hitting Obama with the dual club of Obama’s own past statements and his irresponsibility in picking someone as manifestly unqualified as Biden. Expect more and more along these lines as we head to the home stretch. The GOP base has been wondering when McCain was going to come out swinging against the lies of Team Obama, and we now have that answer – it started last night.

I noted last night that the RNC announced it had raised $66 million in September – a new record far outpacing the RNC’s previous best month from 8 years ago. Now, some of this can be attributed to the fact that GOPers can’t donate to McCain, but the mere fact of this much money flowing into GOP coffers gives lie to the concept that the GOP base is dispirited – which lie is being relentlessly hammered home by the MSM in hopes of turning wish into reality. The key to understanding this race is to understand that almost the entire elite establishment has set itself to the task of electing Obama President – and in service of this goal, all the stops are being pulled out.

Team Obama is lying all the time and every day about McCain and Palin – one radio ad out here in Nevada has it that McCain is opposed to all stem cell research, a complete lie, as can be seen at McCain’s website. Ad after ad, statement after statement is filled with lies about McCain, Palin and the GOP…and far from the MSM investigating such lies, the MSM is applauding them and throwing a few of its own into the mix, for good measure.

The MSM is entirely in the tank for Obama – and not just in the normal sense of being liberal reporters and editors who just naturally report things with a liberal slant. Its gone far beyond that. The MSM is cheerleading for Obama – hiding anything which threatens his candidacy, being an attack dog for Obama against his opponents, downplaying any good news which might redound to GOP credit and thus help McCain…given that Obama wants to bring back the Orwellian “fairness doctrine”, what we’re getting here is a taste of what all media will be like if Obama wins. Goebbels and Stalin wished they had this sort of propaganda machine – not just control of the media, but the enthusiastic support of the media for whatever evil or absurdities the government plans to do.

The bosses are plunking down for Obama; corporate, union and media – knowing they’ve already bought him, Joe Biden and the entire Democratic party, while the election of McCain/Palin would bring to the fore people who have no truck with such and no aversion to calling malefactors of great wealth to account. For Obama and Biden (and Dodd, Frank, Pelosi and Reid) to pose as defenders of Main Street against the depredations of Wall Street is to step through the looking glass and enter the world of pure fantasy. Democrats only talk about hammering the rich – thing is, they are the rich. While Biden claims that Obama won’t tax anyone making under $250,000 a year (itself an absurd assertion – if you believe this, then I’ve got some swampland in Florida to sell you), the fact of the matter is that Obama won’t tax the real rich…not a penny of taxation will be levied against Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Jay Rockefeller, etc, etc, etc who have vast wealth, but don’t have high annual income in the sense of earning a salary or running a small farm, ranch or business.

Confronting all of this power and wealth is John McCain, Sarah Palin and Joe and Jane Average – the people who make this country work, who are viewed as an endless source of swag by the elite, and who are hated for what they are – regular folks. Things will rise to a fever pitch over the next 30 days – the elites will use every means at their disposal to win…all we can do is say our prayers, and then fear God and dread naught.

Remember, things are not as they appear – the MSM is trying very hard to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes and if you expect either Obama or Biden to tell the truth then you just haven’t been paying attention. Do not tremble for the future, for we have already won. And so, have at the battle – and battle with joy in your hearts, love for your country and pity for the misguided who oppose us. Do not fight with the cynicism and hatred Obama urged his minions to display. They will not have the day – we will triumph in the end, because right makes might, and we are right and they are wrong.
