Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime, a new book about the 2008 presidential campaign is creating turmoil in the Democrat party. Much of the world has already heard about Senator Harry Reid’s (D-NV) remarks about “negro dialect” but far fewer have heard about President Clinton’s remarks. According to the book, President Clinton made disparaging remarks about then Senator Obama (D-IL) when discussing him with the late Senator Kennedy (D-MA). The book says that

Clinton told Kennedy that he should not support Obama because “a few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.” This supposedly so angered Senator Kennedy that he decided to support Obama.

As you might imagine, this book is full of interesting, behind the scenes facts about the 2008 election and the men and women who participated in it. It will also clearly show how deceitful the Democrat party really is.

Although Reid apologized to President Obama, who gracefully accepted the apology, this incident shows the double standard that liberals have. If a Democrat says something that is rascist and harkens back to the 50s, it is alright. If a Republican says something that is offensive in even a minor way they immediately call for a resignation.

President Obama said of the incident, “I accepted Harry’s apology without question because I’ve known him for years, I’ve seen the passionate leadership he’s shown on issues of social justice, and I know what’s in his heart.” Maybe he should have instead used it as an opportunity to discuss the fact that further progress needs to be made. He should also have called for Reid’s resignation.

It has become political farce to see Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) behaving like he is trying to cure world hunger or stop all disease when in reality he is trying to put on a good show and deliver nothing to the American public. We deserve better. Just a week ago, he declared on the Senate floor that 14,000 people lose their health insurance every day and that “the American people don’t get weekends off from this injustice.” He said that the Senate would work all weekends until a bill was passed. Then this week, he declares that the Senate should have the weekend off. The reason was that he had a $1,000 plus per plate fundraiser in New Orleans tomorrow that he has now been shamed into cancelling.

That is disgraceful. It is also the reason that Reid is behind 10 percentage points in his own state. Let’s hope that the good people of Nevada see him for what he is and vote him out next year. We need real leadership in Washington.

If you compare Bill Clinton to President Barack Hussein Obama, you realize that you are dealing with a less crafty politician. Obama is more of an ideologue than Bill Clinton ever was. He is also stubborn and portrays an image of smug superiority that I find appalling. I believe that Obama genuinely thinks that his ideas and plans are better than anyone else’s and that they should be pursued and implemented regardless of what others think or feel about it. To me, that sounds like a classic dictator and not a United States President. (Now you know why I included his middle name in the first sentence.)

I am hoping that moderate Democrats in the House and Senate realize that the populace does not want bigger government. It does not want a government that runs health care and it absolutely does not want another trillion dollars of deficit spending. I hope that there is a lesson learned from the elections in Virginia and New Jersey where Republicans trounced Democrats.

Americans are angry and are demonstrating that anger. Just look at this video of the march on Washington, D.C.:

If Democrats and particularly Obama, Pelosi and Reid do not back off, in 2010 they will face the most devastating elections that the Democratic party has ever seen. Then in 2012, Obama will also lose his job. That is almost guaranteed.

It is now time for the more moderate Democrats to exert some control over their party. If they do not stop President Obama, Senator Reid (D-NV) and Congressman Pelosi (D-CA) they will lose all the gains that they achieved in 2008. Health care reform and the takeover of more businesses in this country are now over.

Are you listening President Obama? Give us the change that we need and let us keep the change that we have in our pockets. Concentrate on jobs and growth and scale back your socialist agenda.

Manley is referring to a maneuver known as reconciliation in which a bill is introduced in a way that requires only 50 votes instead of 60 to proceed in the United States Senate. This removes the threat of a filibuster and makes it impossible for senators who are opposed to the bill to try to stop it. The Democrats clearly have a 60 vote majority, but pressure from constituents may make some Democratic senators decline to vote for comprehensive health care “reform.” (We can only hope this is true.)

What I find disheartening about Mr. Manley’s statements is the arrogance of it. Democrats want to pass this bill “by any means necessary.” What about the will of the people? Have they not heard how angry we are?

A local representative was on television today saying that he would vote for the health care reform bill even if the vast majority of his constituents were opposed to it. Have these public servants lost touch with the fact that it is us who elects them, pays them and that they are representatives—not dictators? I think we need to vote all the scoundrels out and maybe even impeach a few ahead of time.

One can only speculate about what power plays are taking place in private right now, but what is certain is that Reid told Lieberman about this change yesterday. I am sure that Lieberman has some leverage since he could switch parties and lessen the Democrat majority (one can only hope). We will see what happens in the next couple of days.

The Democrats are angry at Lieberman because he campaigned with McCain and because he rightfully disparaged President-elect Obama. During a campaign interview, Lieberman said, “having worked with [Obama] in the Senate…he just hasn’t done very much”. He was also quoted in the New York Times as saying that the election was “between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who has not.” These sort of statements did not endear him with his party, with Reid or President-elect Obama.

Let’s all hope that Lieberman retains his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and that he retains his integrity as a true American leader.

If Senator Obama wins the presidency, we will have established two rings of hell and we will be well on our way to an inferno that Dante could never have imagined. The first ring will be a Congress that is dominated by liberal Democrats and run by Senator Harry Reid and Representative Nancy Pelosi. As if this were not hell enough, we will also have an ultra-liberal president who wants to redistribute our income and change the entire country to more liberal, secular views. Now for the third ring–the one that will bring on the suffering. That ring, the Supreme Court, is the last viable check and balance against Democrat hegemony. 

Obama will be able to appoint two or three Supreme Court justices in his first term. Even worse than that, he could get to appoint two more by the end of a second term. That is five Supreme Court justices that he could appoint with no opposition from Congress. He could appoint the most liberal judges that he can find and establish liberal control of the Supreme Court for decades. Who knows what could happen then? Perhaps infanticide and assisted suicide would become the uncontested law of the land. Keep in mind that five Supreme Court justices would constitute a majority.

Liberal control of the Supreme Court could shape our society more than any other branch of government. The justices do not need to be reelected and are installed for life. They can do whatever they want. If you do not believe it, then go back to January 22, 1973 when the Supreme Court made it legal to have abortions with the Roe vs. Wade decision. It is estimated that over 50 million children have been killed because of that decision. It is reasonable to estimate that if these children had been born, at least 1% would be geniuses or high achievers. Think about how much more advanced the United States would be with an additional 500,000 intelligent, high achievers. What a waste of human potential and loss of human advancement.

If you are angered by the idea of homosexual marriage, the removal of any mention of religion from our school systems, the removal of “In God We Trust,” and the promotion of other liberal causes, then you should be very concerned about an Obama victory. An Obama presidency will guarantee liberal control of the country for the foreseeable future. It is an incredible inferno full of suffering for all and justice for none.

If you are not interested in social issues or religious issues, but instead are worried about your bottom line, then consider a president who wants you to “share the wealth” coupled with a Congress that also wants to tax you into the ground and then couple that with a liberal and activist Supreme Court and what do you have? You end up with a socialist country modeled after many of the countries in the European Union. Is that the path that the United States should take or should it continue to create a path that other countries envy and want to emulate?

What country is feared, envied and respected at the same time? What country has established an empire greater than has ever been seen on the face of the planet before? What country has achieved this sort of global domination in history? Only the United States has done this. Why throw it away to pursue a political and social theory that has been proven a failure repeatedly?

You know the answers to these questions. There is no reason to abandon our supremacy, or to change our way of life. I have written it before in this site, but here it is again, “Don’t drink the Kool-Aid.” We do not need a liberal, inexperienced president or Supreme Court. Let’s stay away from the suffering, vote intelligently and vote often (the often is just to offset Acorn).
