Change the words to Obama and McCainPJB: 1992 Republican National Convention Speechby Patrick J. Buchanan - August 17, 1992 Well, we took the long way home, but we finally got here. And I want to congratulate President Bush, and remove any doubt about where we stand: The primaries are over, the heart is strong again, and the Buchanan brigades are enlisted--all the way to a great comeback victory in November.Like many of you last month, I watched that giant masquerade ball at Madison Square Garden--where 20,000 radicals and liberals came dressed up as moderates and centrists--in the greatest single exhibition of cross-dressing in American political history. One by one, the prophets of doom appeared at the podium. The Reagan decade, they moaned, was a terrible time in America; and the only way to prevent even worse times, they said, is to entrust our nation's fate and future to the party that gave us McGovern, Mondale, Carter and Michael Dukakis.No way, my friends. The American people are not going to buy back into the failed liberalism of the 1960s and '70s--no matter how slick the package in 1992.The malcontents of Madison Square Garden notwithstanding, the 1980s were not terrible years. They were great years. You know it. I know it. And the only people who don't know it are the carping critics who sat on the sidelines of history, jeering at ine of the great statesmen of modern time. Out of Jimmy Carter's days of malaise, Ronald Reagan crafted the longest peacetime recovery in US history--3 million new businesses created, and 20 million new jobs. Under the Reagan Doctrine, one by one, the communist dominos began to fall. First, Grenada was liberated, by US troops. Then, the Red Army was run out of Afghanistan, by US weapons. In Nicaragua, the Marxist regime was forced to hold free elections--by Ronald Reagan's contra army--and the communists were thrown out of power. Have they forgotten? It was under our party that the Berlin Wall came down, and Europe was reunited. It was under our party that the Soviet Empire collapsed, and the captive nations broke free. It is said that each president will be recalled by posterity--with but a single sentence. George Washington was the father of our country. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and preserved the Union. And Ronald Reagan won the Cold War. And it is time my old colleagues, the columnists and commentators, looking down on us tonight from their anchor booths and sky boxes, gave Ronald Reagan the credit he deserves--for leading America to victory in the Cold War. Most of all, Ronald Reagan made us proud to be Americans again. We never felt better about our country; and we never stood taller in the eyes of the world than when the Gipper was at helm But we are here, not only to celebrate, but to nominate. And an American president has many, many roles. He is our first diplomat, the architect of American foreign policy. And which of these two men is more qualified for that role? George Bush has been UN ambassador, CIA director, envoy to China. As vice president, he co-authored the policies that won the Cold War. As president, George Bush presided over the liberation of Eastern Europe and the termination of the Warsaw Pact. And Mr. Clinton? Well, Bill Clinton couldn't find 150 words to discuss foreign policy in an acceptance speech that lasted an hour. As was said of an earlier Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton's foreign policy experience is pretty much confined to having had breakfast once at the Intl. House of Pancakes.

Video Inspired by 7/1/08 Letter to Jonathan Mantz, Hillary Clinton's Campaign Chair, by Lady Boomer NYC http://www.ladyboomernyc.wordpress.comas posted on my blog: Come A Long Way http://www.comealongway.wordpress.comDear Jonathan,I am part of the Just Say No Deal, Puma Pac Coalition. Our coalition, which includes an estimated 2 million voters and hundreds of pro-Hillary bloggers, has mounted an all-out, concerted, viral campaign to help retire Hillary's debt. I am self-employed and, like many, have devoted the last five months to helping Hillary get elected. I will be sending $20.08 on July 4th as part of the campaign to retire her debt, so she can declare her financial independence.Because of this hijacked election mounted by the DNC and other Party leaders that 1) forced an arbitrary, unfair, and fraudulent DNC RBC decision on the electorate; 2) displayed or did nothing to quell the hatred, sexism, and race-baiting hurled at the Clintons during the campaign; 3) strong-armed Superdelegates to "decide" against the popular vote BEFORE the Democratic Convention; 4) selected an unqualified, untested, combination far-right and far-left candidate; 5) threw overboard the electable candidate along with the Democratic Party's base; and 6) purportedly will not have a floor vote for Hillary at the Democratic convention:I Will Not Now or Ever Vote for or Contribute to Barack Obama.You asked what I will do, and there you have it. I honor Hillary's exquisite campaign and candidacy and hear her again and again ask us to support Obama. However, in the end, my allegiance is to Democracy and the Constitution more than any one candidate or Party. The Democratic Party and Donna Brazile, who said the Party can make it without us, no longer speak for me. It is not about Hillary, nor hurt feelings for losing. It is about our rights as citizens which trump Party and candidate. By the way, like many of our coalition members, I am a lifelong Democrat, raised in a family of Democrats, whose first vote was cast for George McGovern.Many of us understand that, as a politician, Hillary has to do what she has to do. However, we are not politicians and many of us will be holding our noses and casting a protest vote — if the presumptive nominee doesn't self-destruct in the meantime and the Party come running to Hillary to save it. Me, a dreamer? Perhaps. A fighter like Hillary? Absolutely.Lady Boomer NYC____________________________________Soundtrack is "Lost Cause" by Beck.YOU ARE NOT ALONE- JUST SAY NO DEALhttp://www.justsaynodeal.com

Video response to zenarcade64. I'm honestly not seeing the landslide potential here. My video response is really a snapshot of the current polling, but I also think you're underestimating Obama's political skills and organization. (I plan to address the "African American"/race/dirty politics factor in an upcoming video.)

Former presidential candidate George McGovern's plan to bring Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama together for a joint appearance will not happen, McGovern said today, as rumors swirled about such a meeting during Clinton's appearance in SD. McGovern's plan was aimed at bringing a peaceful close to the drawn-out campaign, but the parties....

Could McCain be the George McGovern of the Republicans?
http://digg.com/political_opinion/Grim_Future_for_McCain
Not since George McGovern has the Democratic Party had the complete and utter lack of foresight to give the nomination to someone who has not won the popular vote, especially not when such a small number of delegates separate the two contenders, and 100% of that delegate lead comes from nonrepresentative caucus states.

Has anyone noticed the resemblance between George McGovern and Robert Mugabe? Sen. Hillary Clinton and her inventive mathematicians have. They see a parallel between the longtime dictator of Zimbabwe and the heroic former South Dakota senator, who won the 1972 presidential nomination while losing the popular vote in Democratic primaries.

John Edwards has for all intents and purposes endorsed Obama and most all calculations point to a mathematical win anyway. Even George McGovern, Time, and SNL think she should get out for party unity and so the democrats can actually win in 2008.

Hillary Clinton critics have been calling for her to drop out of the Democratic primary race since February. But the volume went up this week, with even Clinton supporters like former Sen.
