Rhetoric will leave off where McCain begins

In one sentence on primary night in Wisconsin, U.S. Sen. John McCain nailed Barack Obama — and defined precisely the terms of the fall campaign.

Be not intimidated by the growing certainty that the rhetorically gifted Obama, and not his fingernails-across-the-chalkboard opponent, will emerge as McCain’s opponent in November. With Hillary came the high negatives that gave Republicans hope of a built-in general election advantage. With Obama comes an army of high-end liberals, affluent and well-educated, along with an energized swell of blacks and the young drawn specifically to him. The prospect of running against a “movement” has unnerved some Republicans, to say nothing of those — affiliated or not — who have listened to Democrats lay out their vision for America through a long series of debates.

McCain summed it up in that one sentence. “I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure that Americans are not deceived by the eloquent but empty calls for change that promises no more than a holiday from history and a return to the false promises and failed policies of a tired philosophy that trusts in government more than people.”

No question that a decade or two ago, Americans, hands down and without reservation, would have rejected the alternative McCain described. But half the U.S. population is younger than 36.6 years, and an increasing percentage of the country, now almost a third of those who file, pays no income tax, up from 20.6 percent two decades ago. What’s more, an alarming number of children are born to unwed adults — more than two-thirds of blacks, almost half the Hispanics and a quarter of whites — without the security a two-parent family provides.

The point is simply that the “failed policies of a tired philosophy” McCain describes are distant to the experiences of the YouTube and Facebook generation and they are, furthermore, no threat to those who see themselves as possible beneficiaries of Obama’s spending. Besides, 97 percent of income taxes are paid by 50 percent of those who file, according to the Tax Foundation, so — many potential beneficiaries believe — the tab for Obama’s $900 billion in proposed new spending will be borne by somebody else, by “the rich.”

Still, there’s much reason to believe that with time and a focused message elaborating on the two options for America that Obama (or, if by some miracle, Hillary) and McCain represent, the nation will choose the course that avoids replaying the “failed policies of a tired philosophy.”

Why be invigorated by the prospect of running against Obama? Simply this: He will talk himself into trouble — and may very well talk himself out of the White House.

Obama is a truly gifted orator. But he’s been reassured of that so often, and his rhetorical skills have taken him to such heights, that he’s grown much too comfortable with his eloquence. He’ll say too much. He’ll get caught up in the beauty of his argument and get careless.

In the two Democrats’ Los Angeles debate, number 18 in the series of 19, the line of questioning went to the two candidates’ health insurance proposals, which would be costly and require raising taxes “on millions of Americans,” the questioner declared.

“On … on … on … on wealthy Americans,” Obama replied.

As the exchange continued, Obama finished his point.

“And then look, I, I, I’m not … I’m not bashful about it,” he said. “You guys,” he said, making reference to what he said was a “pretty well-dressed” audience attending the debate, “potentially pay a little bit more. I will pay a little bit more.”

Agreeing moments later with Hillary that “people did really well” before tax rates were lowered, Obama declared:

“They were doing just fine.”

When he’s the nominee, expect to see his words fed back to him.

While he may not repeat the mistake of picking up the rhetoric of others, as the Clinton camp accused him of doing last week — she called him “change you can Xerox” in Thursday’s debate from Texas — Obama’s strength is his weakness. He’s been surrounded by the adoring, by party activists who applaud at lines that connect with the moveon.org left but reflect a tin ear for the workaday worries of ordinary people.

Well, I’m warning you right now, if this Osama gets elected, there will be heck to pay. Instead of a couple weeks in Hawaii, well-off people like jbmlaw will have to settle for a week in Smyrna. And poor Wooten will have to give up South America and take a couple days vacation in Acworth. There’s just no telling where it will all stop when this Osama starts getting rid of the tax cuts of My President.

That’s not even the worst of it. The first thing Osama will do is start bringing our troops home and these Iraqs will have to make up their diffrences and learn to live with each other. Just think of all the poor troops with no war to fight. The card playing will commence and they will have all kind of time on their hands and get into trouble. Next thing you know some of them will take out after the people that wanted them to stay in the war and we could get hurt bad.

Anyhow, like I said before, I don’t want to live in a America with one of Those People as president. Just imagine the shame of turning on TV and seeing a picture of Osama behind a podium with the seal of the President and the rest of the world dumbfounded and saying, “Why, that’s one of Those People!” That’s why me and my buddy Jim Earl and Joe Bill plan to go to the Canada embassy or something like that and ask about maybe them taking us in. Just in case Osama is elected, you know. It won’t be America no more if somebody other than a White man is President.

Anyway, I thank God for folks like the Swiftboat Veterans that can start smearing people like Osama and maybe talk people into voting for McCain even if he is a librul and maybe likes to poke and fumble around lobby women. Leastwise its better than voting for a librul Democrat. But not much better. I would like to see the Republicans rise up and make the Rev. Huckabee the leader of the Republican party.

Well, I got my best blue jeans on and a long sleeve T-shirt and am headed for Countryland Golf Course down in Cumming to spend the day. I hope people on this blog don’t get me mixed up with this Captain Freedom again today. Its downright shameful to be mixed up with a crazy guy that just digs up big words and makes us godly Republicans look bad even if he don’t mean to.

Have a good weekend everybody.

THE Captain of course agrees with Jim. That Obama has a smart mouth, and when people like him go sassing off the way they do, they can’t help but themselves in deep trouble.

Besides, as Jim points out, We of True Belief have a rhetorical dynamo in John McCain to counter Mandingo Mouth. St John indeed summed up the problem with Obama in a single sentence; alas, it is a run-on nightmare that would have made even Thomas Hardy blush. But no matter, that. It is the powerful, energetic delivery that McCain brings to the game, capped with that rictus smile at the end of every statement that shows The American People that, yes, he knows he is supposed to smile, but dammit, he can barely be bothered. This is a calculated and surefire tactic to secure that all-important Cheney supporter vote.

But Jim is right. THE Captain can’t wait until He attends the GOP convention and We Common Sense Conservatives can all join hands and chant together: ““I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure that Americans are not deceived by the eloquent but empty calls for change that promises no more than a holiday from history and a return to the false promises and failed policies of a tired philosophy that trusts in government more than people.” (then the crowd faints from lack of oxygen)

Yes, it verily rolls off the tongue, a natural rallying cry. THE Captain feels a tingle up his leg at the very thought. Who’s gonna overcome, now, pinkos??

Have a nice day, everyone. And your little dog Glenn, too.

As long as we are looking at the strength of John McCain’s vision, let’s enjoy the following quote:

“This is Sen. John McCain. I’m calling to urge you to support my friend Rep. Rick Renzi for Congress. Rick has represented the first district of Arizona with tenacity, honesty and integrity beyond reproach. I work with Rick every day and can report to you his total dedication to the people of Arizona and the United States. Please join me in supporting rural Arizona’s workhorse congressman on Nov. 7.”

Hot dang good column there, Jim Wooten. Many compliments.

Maybe you shoulda been stringing for Hillary; then, she wouldn’t have used that line from the bubble gum wrapper about Obama offering “change you can Xerox.” You’d have given her something a mite better, I’m sure. “Change you can spend”?

Your column, of course, hinges on the accuracy of McCain’s characterization of Obama’s massage. (Apologies to McLuhan.) You dig JM’s characterization. I dig it. You aks, will the Peeps dig it? Hmn. Well, it worked for Nixon to play to the fuddy-duddies against the longhairs. It worked for Reagan to package traditionalism as something new and alternative. We’ll see.

The severity of historical aphasia exhibited by the thumbpadded ones is quite disturbing. It will be fun to help McQueeg to show it up over the next several months. Poor things. They know not what they text.

Had Billary ever met a policy proposal they didn’t try to triangulate, they’d be able now to distinguish Hillary’s flowing horn o’ plenty from Barack’s; for example, by pointing out that Hillary is merely a cornpone liberal of the Franklin and Eleanor school, whereas Barack is a neoMarxist committed to The Struggle.

But that’s perhaps just as well, because now the Republicans get to have all the fun.

Good grief! you’re third paragraph—did McCain really speak that eloquently? He must have gotten a new speech writer. Good! he needed a little polishing in that arena. He needs none in the realm of experience (legislative and military).

Obama is a truly gifted orator. But he’s been reassured of that so often, and his rhetorical skills have taken him to such heights, that he’s grown much too comfortable with his eloquence. He’ll say too much. He’ll get caught up in the beauty of his argument and get careless.

I’ve already seen that ^^^ happening.

While I’m no big fan of Hillary’s, I can find sympathy for her when she tries to address Obama’s shortcomings only to be booed for her attempts.

He (Obama) is such a “nice guy” and people don’t like it when a “nice guy” is called to answer the questions put forth.

“Nice guys” finish last. They can only get so far and then they’re dumped. Just ask me…I chose a “bad boy” who turned out to be THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR and an all-around “good guy”. No regrets!

Dr. Dobson: I Will Never Vote for McCain Newsmax.com Friday, February 1, 2008 12:07 PM

While John McCain has risen to the top of the heap among contenders for the Republican presidential nomination, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson remains adamant that he will not support McCain’s bid for the White House.

Dobson, one of the nation’s most influential evangelical Christians, declared more than a year ago that he wouldn’t support McCain under any circumstances, saying McCain didn’t support traditional marriage values.

A Dobson spokesman told the New York Times’ David Kirkpatrick Wednesday that he stood by that position, and as a matter of conscience could never vote for the Arizona Senator.

According to the paper, Dobson is joined by a slew of other prominent conservatives who oppose McCain on a number of issues:

Talk radio host Mark Levin urged visitors to the National Review’s Web site to “rally for Romney” to ward off a McCain win, saying: “Conservatives need to act now, before it is too late.”

Talker Rush Limbaugh told listeners on Thursday: “McCain is in a lot of these places not actually the Republican candidate. He is the candidate of enough Republicans, but [also] independents and moderates and probably even some liberals.”

Pat Toomey, president of the anti-tax organization Club for Growth, said in comments reported by the New York Times: “I have yet to see McCain make any attempts to reach out to free market conservatives.”

Conservatives fault McCain for voting against President Bush’s tax cuts and a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, and for supporting embryonic stem cell research, looser immigration rules and stricter environmental regulations.

Conservatives were particularly irked when McCain made a deal with Democrats to break a deadlock on judicial nominations, according to the Times.

Anger over that compromise was rekindled this week when Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund wrote that McCain had privately criticized Bush’s Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito because “he wore his conservatism on his sleeve.” The McCain campaign denied that report.

Following McCain successes in early primary states, however, other conservatives are beginning to warm up to his campaign:

Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, who previously opposed a McCain nomination, said: “He has moved in the right direction strongly and forcefully on taxes.”

Former McCain foe Tony Perkins, a prominent Christian conservative, told the Times: “I have no residual issue with John McCain,” adding the candidate needed to “better communicate” his stand on social issues.

Richard Land, an official with the South Baptist Convention, agreed, noting that McCain “is strongly pro-life.” He said: “When I hear Rush Limbaugh say that a McCain nomination would destroy the Republican Party, what I want to say to Rush is, ‘You need to get out of the studio more and talk to real people.’”

Are McCain’s handlers playing the wrong card? By David H. Hackworth January 25, 2000

John McCain is being hailed by the press as a “genuine war hero.” But is he a war hero in the conventional sense like Audie Murphy and John Glenn? Or is his “war hero” status the creation of a very slick publicity campaign that plays on flag, duty, honor and country?

For sure, McCain has the fruitsalad a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars , two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service gongs.

On a purely medal count basis, he outweighs Murphy and Glenn, who both for years repeatedly performed extraordinary deeds on the ground or in the air against an armed enemy.

McCain’s valor awards are based on what happened in 1967, when during his 23d mission over Vietnam, he was shot down, seriously injured, captured and then spent 5 1/2 brutal years as a POW.

In an attempt to find out exactly what the man did to earn these many hero awards, I asked his Senate office three times to provide copies of the narratives for each medal. I’m still waiting.

I next went to the Pentagon. Within a week, I received a recap of his medals and many of the narratives that give the details of what he did.

None of the awards, less the DFC, were for heroism over the battlefield where he spent no more than 20 hours. Two Naval officers described the awards as “boilerplate” and “part of an SOP medal package given to repatriated (Vietnamera) POWs.”

McCain’s Silver Star narrative for the period 27 October 1967 the day after he was shot down to 8 December 1968 reads: “His captors… subjected him to extreme mental and physical cruelties in an attempt to obtain military information and false confessions for propaganda purposes. Through his resistance to those brutalities, he contributed significantly towards the eventual abandonment…” of such harsh treatment by the North Vietnamese.

Yet in McCain’s own words just four days after being captured, he admits he violated the U.S. Code of Conduct by telling his captors “O.K, I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.”

A Vietnam vet detractor says, “He received the nation’s third highest award, the Silver Star, for treason. He provided aid and comfort to the enemy!”

The rest of his valor awards issued automatically every year while he was a POW read much like the Silver Star. More boilerplate often repeating the exact same words. An example: “By his heroic endeavors, exceptional skill, and devotion to duty, he reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Naval Service and the United States Armed Forces.”

Yet McCain’s conduct while a POW negates these glowing comments. The facts are that he signed a confession and declared himself a “black criminal who performed deeds of an air pirate.” This statement and other interviews he gave to the Communist press press were used as propaganda to fan the flames of the antiwar movement.

Accounts by McCain and other writers tell of the horror he endured: relentlessly beatings, torture, broken limbs. All inflicted during savage interrogations. Yet no other POW was a witness to these accounts. A former POW says “No man witnessed another man during interrogations… We relied on each other to tell the truth when a man was returned to his cell.”

The U.S. Navy says two eyewitnesses are required for any award of heroism. But for the valor awards McCain received, there are no eyewitnesses, less himself and his captors. And they’re not talking.

Our POWs in Vietnam were treated appallingly. The Viets would either break a POW or kill him. POWs provided info beyond name, rank and serial number or they didn’t come back.

Based on these stalwart men’s horrific experiences, the Code of Conduct has been changed. A POW says, “Now the training is to give them something… don’t risk permanent damage to health, mind or body.” McCain refused an early release. An act of valor? Three former POWs told me he was ordered to turn it down by his U.S. POW commander and he “just followed orders.”

McCain certainly doesn’t appear to be a war hero by conventional standards, but rather a tough survivor whose handlers are overplaying the war hero card.

David H. Hackworth died in June 2005, he was a much-decorated and highly unconventional former career Army officer who became a combat legend in Vietnam. Col. Hackworth received 78 combat awards — including a Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and eight Purple Hearts — during his 25-year military career which spanned the Korean and Vietnam wars..

Good morning, Jim,

John McCain has it right in his statement that you quoted from his victory speech the night of the Wisconsin primary. However, I suspect the average voters (not the hardcore Democrats or Republicans)are going to ask themselves a question come November…especially if, as I suspect, Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee. That question will be…“Am I better off than I was eight years ago…before George Bush?”

Those, who can honestly answer “Yes”, will vote McCain and the Republicans.

Those, who cannot answer in the affirmative, will vote the other way.

We shall see.

But we all know the rotten pigas-sed liberal RATs here despise original, logical, and straight to the point topics that THEY don’t agree with. It must suck to be brain dead zombies, I suppose.

Hey gitmolife - you were asked a direct question: when you gonna jump ship, RAT? Hahahaha..

Anywho, moving Right along…

Recently Michelle O, the latest sensation in politics like her husband, went speaking around the nation. Fortunately, it didn’t appear that any women actually passed out due having such a boring wretched life that watching grass grow is overtly stimulating(unlike when they watch her husband speak). Do we really need people voting who are so caught up in emotions over politics that they can’t contain themselves like being at an Oscars expo? How ridiculous. Anyway, she really is as effective a speaker as her husband. It’s amazing how a couple of people can say so much without really saying anything: “change” & “we need to move forward” & “life is terrible for Americans these days and the past needs to be left behind.” What a bunch of empty words and phrases.

A couple of things she said made some ears perk up. This is paraphrased, but close enough to get the point:

’We need to all take responsibility for our fellow Americans, especially those who struggle and need to be lifted up to a higher standard of living with all our help. It is not fair that we have such inequalities in this nation where the haves have and the have nots do not.’

Uhm, wasn’t that what government assistance programs like housing and food subsidies were designed for? Why are there still people stuck living off these programs for generation after generation? Besides, isn’t that what income redistribution is for where the top 50% of federal income tax payers foot 96.3% of the bill for the remaining bottom 50% receive some of their tax dollars as income?

It is easy to infer that those who don’t have what others have are getting the short end of the stick in this nation by being at a mental or physical disadvantage. To some extent, that most assuredly is true. However, what about those able bodied and able minded individuals who choose to loaf? What about those who settle at best for mediocrity in life and on the job? How come liberals and democrats never talk about them? You know those types: they come in right at the clock start and not a minute earlier, and leave right at clock end and not a minute later; they don’t volunteer for extra curricular activities or weekend work or after hours work if a crucial deadline comes around; they take ten smoke breaks a day; they use all of their sick days, whether or not they are sick; they surf the web and yap with their girlfriends all throughout the day.

Now, those are the same people wondering why they are passed over for a promotion or why another candidate was chosen for that internal position that was more visible to future income growth potential. Then they look to Democrats like Obama who will hand them their higher quality lifestyle at the expense of others - who do everything BUT all of the above and wind up, imagine this, more financially rewarded – what a concept, huh? As to be expected, that’s just not fair enough for liberal democrats.

It is not surprising of Democrats like Michelle O to fail to acknowledge that not everyone in this nation is entitled to or DESERVES success and a better life, irrespective of the ORIGINS those funds for that better life come from. In the old days, that was earned through the exact opposite of the aforementioned attributes of mediocrity. Communism/marxism (see: Obama’s past) has failed around the globe because everyone is equal in those realms. If someone works twice as hard as someone else and only gets paid an equal amount to someone who works half as hard, where’s the incentive to better him or herself?

What a shame so many in this nation are turning to a dependent and entitlement-based mentality where they feel they are owed everything in life, whether or not they earn and/or deserve it, and Democrat-ic politicians happily pander to them. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (and his father Joe) would be ashamed of the modern version of his party. You could probably say the same about Reagan and the modern version of his party as well: Republicans who are anything but that, let alone conservative – but at least they aren’t trying to destroy the foundation of this nation, the freedom to seek prosperity and the spirit of the entrepreneur - let alone cave in to a bunch of 7th Century women stoning Middle Eastern cave dwellers. So, how many of those bottom 50% mentioned earlier has anyone ever worked for? Thought so.

Earlier this week, in this space…

Lieutenant Chris Taylor, United States Navy: We need a Commander-In-Chief to win this war and come home honorably; not a Dem who’d rush the troops home and leave Iraq and Afghanistan a mess. This would absolutely dishonor the troops who have already died for the cause.

I’ve flown missions in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I know first-hand what we are doing there. It is my job to support our ground troops and keep them safe, including those I know and serve with. (I myself will be doing a ground tour for a year). It is a noble campaign (what we are doing there) and it’s the troops out there dieing to keep you free to voice your flawed positions.

TAFKAHgoyle:

LT Taylor,

You regurgitate the standard wingnut talking points very nicely. How do you keep the koolaid down when you puke up the rest of that cr@p?

As with the GOP, I find no reason to respect a person just because they serve in the military. As such, I am wearing a purple bandaid in your honor and smirking at your service. I will also be launching a Keyboard Kommando investigation into your actual exploits in the Iraq and Afghan theatres, as I am certain that your story does not add up. Something about the kerning of the typeface in your post makes me most suspicious. How dare you presume to speak for Our Brave Men and Women in harm’s way, you make believe soldier.

To the “satirist” at 11:35, some facts:

*A Zuni rocket was accidentally fired from an F-4 Phantom II by an electrical power surge during the switch from external power to internal power. It flew across the flight deck, striking a wing-mounted external fuel tank on an A-4 Skyhawk, Aircraft No. 405 piloted by LCDR Fred D. White. Aircraft No. 416, piloted by LCDR John McCain, was right next to it.

That McCain wasn’t killed instantly was just plain luck. And that he later survived 5+ years in the Hanoi Hilton again testifies to the fact that IMHO his bravery is unimpeachable.

Three news organizations that make continuous course corrections to ensure that they remain ever in the middle of the Liberal mainstream, are CBS News, The New York Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. They could tack to Port, but they don’t. They could tack to Starboard, but they don’t.

This week’s NYT fiasco was a reminder of the propensity of such news outlets to attempt to interfere in presidential politics. The phenomenon is not best understood by examining the content of their hit pieces (or their puff pieces), but rather by noting the timing of the pieces and by observing that information required of any student of the rudiments of journalism is actually missing from these self-important “scoops”.

So it was with the story about McCain’s indiscretions, which story boiled down to innuendo. So it was with CBS’ effort to throw an election by palming off “change by Xerox [or Inkjet Printer]” onto the voting public. So it was with the DNC-AJC’s hit on Giuliani as a yet unconvicted, serial felon.

Somewhere in the back of voters’ minds it has registered again and again that they are being manipulated. With increasing frequency and from across the American political spectrum, they are saying, with the late George Harrison:

I’ve been fobbed off, and Ive been fooled

I’ve been robbed and ridiculed

In day care centers and night schools

Handle me with care!

They want media that will handle them with care and respect. They know that they no longer have such media.

That is why they will vote for the candidate whom they perceive as less full of it.

jenjis khan certainly intends to inflame the partisans against my oh so impolite response to LT Taylor, who as a combat veteran is certainly above reproach. Flame away.

If you wingnuts had a shred of honesty and self-awareness, you would admit that YOU are the ones who opened this pandora’s box. The Democrats have never attacked any opponent’s honorable military service (and let’s not even pretend the Dubya’s TANG detail of snorting blow off the a$$ of hookers rises to that level). Not with Bush I or Dole when the non-military Clinton ran against them. And so far, the most vocal critics of McCain’s military service have been wingnuts like Sampley. I defy you to find one instance of Obama or Clinton questioning McCain’s service.

But you guys changed the rules in 2004 when you trashed Kerry, and the wingnuts continue to follow a strict rule regarding veterans: those that toe the line are heroes, but those that question the wingnut cause are fair game for any character assasination. The case last year of Scott Beauchamp is a case in point. And I wager that in the next few weeks, the Army captain referenced by Obama in the last debate will come in for his share of chickenhawk abuse.

So, as I wrote last week, goose and gander. If the extremists of the GOP feel that the service records of their opponents are fair game for ridicule and abuse, I will join in and hurl it right back.

As for Obama’s choice on miltary service…he did not dodge the draft by gaming the system (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gingrich), nor did he use family connections to garner a cushy posting (BushII, Quayle, etc.). He chose to not enlist, as is his right in this nation. That he elected to not subsume his life to the military does not disqualify him from the presidency, nor does it necessarily reflect poorly upon him as a citizen.

But if you guys want to eleveate military service as the defining characteristic of a man’s fitness for office, let’s take a real close look at McCain’s record of achievment. I doubt the real picture is as admirable as he would have you believe.

For the record…my own record of military servicing is exemplary. I’ve had c0cks from all of the service branches (including the Coast Guard) in my warm wet spots, and placed my own in each branch of the service in return, though certainly not in harm’s way. I love military men and women, and they love me.

Hey liberal wank stain: instead of just talking out your a-ss like a typical disgusting lying lib, read up on the situation on the Forrestal before shooting off your uneducated, mind numbed, ball-less brain. It came from an F-4 during a pre-engine start, and the pilot flipped a switch that happened to set off a circuit that was tied in the armament link, and a fluke sent a charge to the missile - which was unsecured and should not have been until after engine start. McCain flew an A-4, ball-less brains.

Your appreciation says it all. You DON’T CARE that America is being protected and our troops are fighting for us. You want to complain and downgrade everything, even veterans who have fought for us before.
