Where Do I Send The "Thank You" Card?

At campaign rallies over the weekend Joe "Plugs" Biden had this to say, ""Mark my words, It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he's going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it's not going to be apparent initially; it's not going to be apparent that we're right."

This is absolutely stunning, not only is he saying that if Obama is elected, that we will be attacked or threatened in some way, but also saying that he may not do the right thing in response, but that people need to stand with him regardless if he does the right thing or not! And this is his running mate!!! Now you see why I call him the dumbest man in the Senate? Besides that, the fact is that this is actually a real worry, and something that would have been a good point for McCain to bring up, but difficult because it would have sounded like he was being a bully, or a brute, or some such thing, but here we have the Democratic VP candidate making the argument for him.

As well he should have, McCain latched onto Biden's comments and came out swinging hard. He had this to say, "The next president won't have time to get used to the office. We face many challenges here at home and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world. We don't want a president who invites 'testing' from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting two wars." And as to the second point he added, "Senator Obama won't have the right response, and we know that because we've seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign."

After this, I see some of those Democrat spin doctors out there saying things like, "Oh well, any new President will be tested." And nonsense such as that. The fact is that History teaches us something quite different. During the 1980 Iran Hostage Crisis, the Iranians spent over a year playing games with Jimmy Carter, you can't say they were testing him, they knew he wasn't going to do anything about it, but an hour after Ronald Reagan took office, they released the hostages. They took one good look in President Reagan's eyes and realized that this was not a man they wanted to test. In the same way, I don't think they'll want to test John McCain either. But whatever troubles do arise on the world stage over the next four years, we do know that John McCain is equipped and prepared to deal with them.

And remember the other day when I said that Obama was going to raise taxes on all of us? Today Congressman Barney Frank came out and said that if the Democrats control the Congress, and Obama gets elected President, then we could ignore the deficit, put huge new spending plans in place and "Tax The Rich" to pay for it. For anyone thinking that taxing the rich doesn't seem so bad, let's remember, the more they spend, the lower their cutoff for who they consider to be rich becomes. This hot on the heals of Obama stating that he wanted to spread the wealth around, in true Socialist fashion. And again, this is straight from the Democrats!

I couldn't have made these arguments better myself, so thanks to the Dems for letting you know that I have been right all along. Now, I just want to know where to send the thank you cards. But let's not get complacent, let's get out there and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin, and Republican Senators and Congressmen. (Unless you live in Fl US House Dist 15, then vote for Frank Zilaitis, NPA for Congress.)
