Couple of good posts to day on: hillbuzz.wordpress.com HILLBUZZ IS ON THE MOVE…TO OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA Posted by hillbuzz under Uncategorized [184] Comments We’re splitting up and hitting the ground today — in the most massive deployment we’ve ever undertaken here at HillBuzz. Running on two hours of sleep a night, we’re giving all we have to McCain/Palin in the last days of this campaign. We know that if we work hard, we will win this, so we are working hard. We’re going to try to post as much as possible from now until election day, but we’re all leaving Chicago until Tuesday, each one of us taking a group to a different city in Ohio or Pennsylvania. We’re all headed back to our home towns, to win our home states for McCain/Palin. We’re tired. Running on fumes. But will report every tidbit we gleam in the next few days. We ask all of you to fight as hard as you can in the next few days — because we truly believe our nation’s at stake. If Obama would win, we’d face socialist rule for 4 years, and don’t believe America would ever be the same again. We’re leaving in less than an hour for the very long drive to Ohio and Pennsylvania — please wish us luck. There’s no plausible mathematical scenario for Obama to win this election if he loses Ohio and Pennsylvania. NONE. So, if we succeed in putting everything we can muster into the ground game in these states — then we’ll win these two for McCain, and a good man will make it into the White House, instead of socialist Obama. Now is the time for all of us to stand up and fight for what we believe in. That’s what we are doing — so what about you? 888888888888888888 “WHY I’LL BE VOTING MCCAIN-PALIN” Posted by hillbuzz under Uncategorized “Why I’ll Be Voting McCain-Palin” By Bud White on November 1, 2008 The most eye-opening experience for me during this election has been the realization that the Left can be just as mendacious and bigoted as the Right. Obama’s comments about “bitter” Pennsylvania voters was symptomatic of a bigotry towards low-income whites which is much in vogue with the Left. Randy Rhodes’ comments about Hillary’s voters being older, female, and poor or, what she termed them in her punch-line, “white trash,” is another example of this bigotry. I came to the Democratic Party because of its commitment to working Americans, civil rights, and an activist government. But I also believe in the value of work, capitalism, and a strong military. I have always distrusted the far-Left and its focus on identity politics and anti-Americanism. I believe the United States is a force for good and I believe in the prudent use of our military power. I see the Obama campaign as a resurgence of McGovern liberalism, albeit better packaged and mixed with a good dose of Chicago-style corruption. In a brilliant speech,Lynette Long summed up exactly how I feel about Obama: >>>>>Obama is a brand just like any other brand. Obama the Brand has a logo, a tag line, and a song. But Obama the man is not the same as Obama the Brand. Obama the Brand talks about new style politics, while Obama the man used Chicago style politics in every election. Obama the brand is for women’s rights while Obama the man pays the women in his office 77 cents on the dollar compared to men … Obama the Brand is a post-racial candidate while Obama the man plays the race card at every turn, listens for 20 years to the racial teachings of Rev.. Wright, and makes contributions exclusively to Trinity United Church of Christ, the NAACP and Care Africa. Obama the man and Obama the brand are not one in the same.<<<<< I find it unacceptable that Obama and his supporters have used sexism and race-baiting as a political tactic. I believe that Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama to be president, and the sexism against her (and Hillary Clinton) has been one of our worst moments as a Party, comparable to Southern Democrats voting against Civil Rights in the 1960s. I will be voting for McCain because I trust him not to divide Americans along lines of race and sex for his own electoral gain. I will be voting for McCain to send a message to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid that a rigged nominating process is not acceptable in the Democratic Party. I will be voting for McCain because Obama is not qualified to be president.
