Using pretty much the only tactic that they have left available to them, and for no other reason than their candidate obviously has no real record on which he can run, Team Barry "Almighty," on early Wednesday, sought to portray the nation's first Republican nomination battle as a victory for "extremist" candidates. Extremist candidates? Really? Ya know, this argument would be funny if it weren't so serious, because the real fact of the matter here, is that our current president has already proven himself to be the most "extreme" candidate in the race no matter which Republican eventually gets the nomination. Might this name calling be the perfect example of the desperation coming from Team Barry? Barry has claimed great pride in his record of "accomplishments," and yet all we have seen so far, for the most part, is sophomoric name calling.
The Iowa caucuses, which as we all remember, saw former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney barely edge out former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum by eight votes, have now been described by some as being the event that launched the battle to deny, their word not mine, Barry "Almighty" his much hoped-for second term. Actually what it is, is a battle to reclaim our country. Because Barry desires another four years for no other reason than it would enable him to complete the wholesale destruction of this country that began on January 20, 2009 and has continued largely unhindered ever since. Even the election of 2010 did very little to divert him from his stated goal, the "fundamental transformation" of this country. The will of the people means very little to Barry because, you see, he knows what's best for us even if we don't.
In keeping with its previous line of attack, the Barry's campaign manager, some lefty named Jim Messina, said in a statement that the "extremist Tea Party agenda won a clear victory" shortly after the results were announced early Wednesday. "No matter who the Republicans nominate, we'll be running against someone who has embraced that agenda in order to win -- vowing to let Wall Street write its own rules, end Medicare as we know it, roll back gay rights, leave the troops in Iraq indefinitely, restrict a woman's right to choose, and gut Social Security to pay for more tax cuts for millionaires and corporations." This is the typical modus operandi of these pathetic sleaze bags. Tell a lie often enough and loud enough, and have repeated in the state controlled media enough, and maybe, just maybe enough people will come to believe it as being true.
And apparently Mr. Messina also felt the need to warn of "unprecedented" spending by outside groups on campaign ads and urged Barry's supporters to step up donations and on-the-ground organizing ahead of the November vote. "Watching the circus on TV, it's tempting to think it's almost funny -- but this is not a joke. We've got to be ready," Messina said. Ok folk, let's get real here, shall we. I think most of us understand that if there is to be an "unprecedented" amount of spending to take place, it can, most assuredly, be expected to come from Barry. After all, he was able to successfully purchase the 2008 election, why should he not expect to be able to do the same thing this time around as well. We are the ones that must prepare ourselves. We are the ones who must contribute what we can in the form of money and/or time to our candidate.
I get a little uneasy when I see so many on the left who seem to be only too happy in their attempt to portray Barry as being weighed down by the sputtering economy and lingering high unemployment, and their continuing to blame things on Bush. But I sometimes wonder if they might be overplaying their hand as they claim he faces a tough reelection battle with whomever eventual GOP nominee is. And I'm more than just a little suspicious that they might be trying to lull into having some sense of false security, especially when they start saying that their guy is in trouble and should be easy for us beat. There is just so much riding on this election, it will be absolutely crucial. Therefore, we must be ready for every eventuality, as we cannot afford to allow ourselves to be caught off guard.
Lastly, we can ill afford to take anything for granted between now and Election Day. One thing that very clearly demonstrates the volatility of the current GOP field is the fact that while Romney has been a frontrunner for months, nearly all of the other candidates have at one point or another cycled to the front of the pack as wavering Republicans have sought a more conservative alternative. Most recently we saw how Rick Santorum, an ardent social conservative strongly opposed to abortion and gay marriage and who had lingered in the second tier of candidates up until just a few days ago, was nearly able to defeat Romney in Iowa after running an intense campaign in the heartland state. No at this point there is no such thing as a sure thing. And when the dust finally settles we must be willing to get behind our candidate no matter who it is.
