[Rhodes22-list] Brad, for the moment, let us find another term

[Brad Haslett]

Ed,

This is one of the strangest elections I've ever watched since Nixon
in 68"  The press has become an extension of the Obama campaign and
hasn't done their due diligence on the guy. Here we someone who
studied under an openly declared communist as a youth.  We know very
little about his undergraduate days except for what he's told us (why
did he live with wealthy Pakistanis and travel to Pakistan?)  He
relocates to Chicago and studies under Saul Alinsky (avowed communist)
acolytes and incorporates Alinsky methods into his "community
organizing".  He joins a Marxist church. He teams up with an
unapologetic terrorist and spends over 100 million dollars on radical,
racist education experiments.  He wins two political races by knocking
his opponents off the ballot.  And now suddenly we're supposed to
believe that he's in the center of American politics?  Truly amazing!

This race will boil down to a handful of states, and what plays out in
the economy over the next six weeks will have a huge impact on the
outcome. The "yellow dog" Democrats will vote for Obama even if they
find him with the proverbial "dead girl or live boy".  People like you
and I have looked at his record and said "no thanks".  What the Reagan
Democrats in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania do will determine the
outcome.  It will be interesting.  Those who think moving towards a
socialist or communist society should spend more time talking to
people who have lived in one.  It sure isn't popular with the other
half of this household.
