Obama the Great (And The End of a Man-Crush)

By Lodro Special Correspondent to PolitiPorn.

Bush is gone and now I can finally say that I am once again an Independent. Obama has made history in becoming the first US president to follow the dumbest man in the world, and I hear he’s black. I hope he does a great job for our country. I hope he gives back many of my rights as an American, restores our international credibility and leads us through a terrible economic time while laying the foundations for a more prosperous America. His campaign brought people together around the world and made them optimistic about America, he brought the next generation into the political arena and got 9.5 million more votes than McCain, the highest raw popular vote margin ever.

As strange as it may seem, Joe “Crazy Tits” Biden couldn’t be a better man for the job as Vice President. I didn’t want to bring this up at the time, but the red-staters could have done a little more with his middle name, Robinette, instead of going after the obvious.

Obama can represent the government to the American people and the World with a sincere eloquence that few in history have been able to replicate, recognized some decent talent for important advisory positions, and make decisions based on reality, cooperation and good council. At the same time, Joe Biden is as smart as we’ve got in geopolitics, he sat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a long time and left as the Chairman, he has played the game in the Senate longer than anyone and is known to be ‘bi-partisany.’ He’s also a scrapper, last month he walked out on Karzai during a meeting when the latter tried to feed him the same bullshit that has worked for the past couple of years.

Christ only knows what McCain and Palin would have done with the office, besides suspending the role of the executive branch due to the economic crisis.

Hail to the Bride’s Maid

We often hear the phrase “may the best man win.”  The incredible thing that shouldn’t be overlooked in the Election of 2008 is that this country didn’t have a bad choice at the top of the ticket.  No matter which man won, Obama or McCain, we were getting one of the better people this country offers in abundance.  How incredible is that? 

This election wasn’t 1988 where we were faced with Bush, Sr. and Dukakis, folks went the polls and chose a president on the principle of which dude was the lesser of the two evils.

This election wasn’t 2004 where our selection was Bush and NOT Bush.  It wasn’t Ford vs. Carter.

Nope not this time, I sincerely believe that no matter which of these great and honorable men would have been elected, our country would be the better for it. 

In the coming days, we’ll all sit back and consider how did McCain lose this election.  I still maintain that it was indeed his to lose.  Without getting too snarky, I’ll say that McCain (the real McCain) didn’t lose this election.  His only fatal mistake was being sold a rotten bill of goods from the Bushies that managed his campaign.

The folks that had built up the goodwill inherent in the McCain brand were no where to be found.  They had been tossed aside for Bushies and Rovites. The Old McCain’s brand was bipartisanship and country first.  That all got lost in the divisive message that the Bushies crafted for him.  The Maverick John McCain of the 2000 GOP Primaries would have won this election. 

Republicans had their chance to elect McCain president but they decided instead to go with the kid back 2000.  Imagine what this past 8 years would have been like under a McCain adminstration.  Really, stop for moment and contemplate that.

After 9/11, Would President McCain had asked Americans to “go shopping” like Bush did or would he have called the nation to service?  Would President McCain been talked into a war with Iraq and have his attention diverted from Afghanistan?  Would President McCain bring ill repute upon this country by setting up the gulag at Guantanomo or allowed the honor of America to even be questioned because of the use of torture?

Republicans know the answers to the questions posed above, just as any honest Democrat does.

John McCain could have gone down in history as one of the greatest presidents had he been elected in 2000.  The Bushies put a knife in his back when they destroyed his chances for that election and then they twisted that knife in 2008 by ruining his image.

Yesterday Americans rose up not just to vote for Obama, although voting for him alone was enough incentive, but Americans also repudiated the divisive politics Bush, Rove, Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly and yes, Palin.

God speed Senator McCain, I really hope to see your resurrected image soon because the country will need it.

It’s All Over but the Votin’!

The Following was submitted to PolitiPorn by one of our writers, Duke.  This fella lives in the battleground of Virginia.  I could not agree more with the sentiment expressed here.  I don’t care if you’re a Republican, a Democrat, a Socialist, a Green Party person, an Independent, or a Libertarian (or even a Paultard for that matter) get out tomorrow and VOTE!  Don’t let anyone stand in your way; you have no excuses.

It’s not just a privilege, it’s a duty.

Duke writes the following:

Everyone always likes to say “May the best man win,” but if you look closely you will see that this isn’t a statement, it’s not a concession; it’s a plea. If you have a mind to vote for McCain then for goodness sakes get out there early and exercise the privilege that few individuals in the history of the world have achieved and put you vote behind the person that you will trust to lead us into the new chapter of the greatest empire on earth.

I’m only asking for three minutes of your time, and I wouldn’t ask it if I hadn’t been at this event on a rainy day at the Mary Washington University campus with my ten year old daughter. Please watch this clip with an open heart. You won’t hear any slander of a former POW, or any elitist mockery of hardworking Americans. Please watch this and if you feel that the real John McCain has been lost in plenty of Democratic propaganda I invite you to share in your comments resources and links that democrats need to give a hard look at in these last moments before heading off to the polls to vote Obama.
