The Republican Party may be doomed come this election, perhaps even if McCain get's elected. As he is seen as a dem in sheep's clothing, something of appeaser. And although he has some strong points of views on legislative g corruption by lobbyists. he is still seen as liberal republican. It may be that the republican party passed on with W.F. Buckley, and that the slide toward socialism here is inevitable, in part because the philosophical platform for conservatism is removed with Buckley's passing. Buckley who defined his role in the Regan administration as "ventriloquist."
Who could fill his shoes,save for conservative talk show hosts on radio - who, incidentally are relegated to radio, because the liberalplatform is TV...there is no more " Firing Line ." with Buckley's passing,
But it may be irrelevant to this election because Obama moves ahead in the polls, apparently out performing Sarah Palin in the charisma department. Obama is a nice fellow, but he is simply deluded politically, and
philosophically
as I am sure Buckley would point out.
It may be his election is
inevitable.
The doo is about to hit the fan with these elections as I think Obama will win. He's Jimmy Carter...and so, it will be one giant leap toward socialism
Socialsists cause the problems the appear to be solutions to...such as with illegal immigration, and such, welfare, social programs,. (It may even be possible they contribute to the problems in the housing crunch.. vis a vie, fannie mae. ) But they always blame problems on the republicans..as they blamed Bush for the 2001 .com crash, 2 months after Bush was confirmed.
Not that the right isnt complicit (cheap labor) in immigration, but nothing will be done about immigration if Obama does win. He was in a group that threatened corporations, using ethnic blacklisting as a weapon, Al Sharpton does it, and so does Jesse Jackson, the idea is blackmail,
The corporations are forced to send money to community development, or face boycott, not too surprising too much goes in Jackson's pocket. Obama is a nice guy, Jimmy Carter was too, but they are wrong in their polical philosophy, as it could not be adapted here, that was proved 1976-1980..
Obama will win by the "mocha vote" (IMO) is added to his base (poor, black, Hispanic , unions, teachers union, women, illegals, gays, prisoners, and die hard democrats. for whom voting dem is a pavlovian conditioned response). The Mocha Vote tips the scales we can visualize the Mocha voters now enchanted by Obama charisma, -...."the pseudo intellectual Harvard grad, bohemians "lets go to Harvard square" vote that uses reasoning as simple as this: 'oh McCain flew an airplane with bombs on them, ooo gooey.... I think Ill have the Mocha!"
Obama will win on the "Mocha vote" IMO.
The “mocha vote” was a termed coined by Jay Sevren, credit where credit due – but in this process, really, intelligence and responsibility applied to the voting booth, we do not see Of GodAnd Man at Yale, do we?
