How do you explain that?
Given the following:
How in the hell does a man like this get elected as President of the United States?
I think I can answer most of this:
One almost has to wonder if McCain wasn't sabotaging his own campaign but at the same time trying to make it not seem so.
- Fifty-five percent of American voters say Congress is doing a poor job.
- Thirty percent of Democrats do not know who Harry Reid is.
- Only nineteen percent of Democrats say Congress is doing a good job.
- Congress has consistently scored lower this year in voter approval than even President Bush.
- Yet, they got reelected and expanded their numbers in both the House and the Senate.
How do you explain that?
Given the following:
- A man having past associations with everything from known terrorists, (Ayers, Kalliti, Ludacris)
- A man having past associations with America hating pastors, (Wright, Farrakhan, Meeks)
- Organizations he was deeply involved, (ACORN, Muslim American Society's Freedom Foundation, Council on American Islamic Relations)
- His past extreme liberal voting record, (97% with his own party, reaching across the aisle, yea right)
- His position as the most liberal senator in congress, (even more so than Hillary or Kerry)
- His many public statements regarding the redistribution of wealth
- His general socialist views on, just about, everything
- An America hating wife
- His obvious naivete regarding foreign affairs, (i.e., meeting with rogue nation leaders without preconditions)
How in the hell does a man like this get elected as President of the United States?
I think I can answer most of this:
- The mainstream media won this election for Obama. Stating the obvious that, they were in the tank for this guy is an understatement.
- Although McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for VP did energize the party and vastly improved his polling numbers, the problem was McCain himself. He had trouble drawinng the kinds of crowds that Obama was able. The large crowds for the Republican candidate were coming out to see Palin.
- Trusting Obama to take public funding was a huge mistake on McCain's part. Republicans continually make these kinds of mistakes when trying to reach across the aisle to democrats. In turn, Republicans get burned every time. Obama was able to raise massively record large sums of money to ultimately outspend McCain the entire campaign.
- McCain posted the names of everyone that donated to his campaign. Obama did not, (There were huge bundled contributions coming from overseas and from questionable sources).
- McCain's decision to leave issues such as Rev. Wright off the table was a mistake.
- Joe the Plummer came too late. However, the redistribution of wealth idea was well known earlier on but not exploited as well as it should have been.
One almost has to wonder if McCain wasn't sabotaging his own campaign but at the same time trying to make it not seem so.
