Why the republicans really lost in 2008

As soon as the DNC picked Barrack Obama as their candidate for the president it was painfully obvious that John McCain didn't stand a chance. Why is that you may ask? Because of two reasons.

The first reason is that Barrack Obama is younger, hipper, better looking and infinitely more cool than John McCain. Let's face it Fergie likes Barrack, so does Hayden Panattiere, and Madonna. And lets face it there's no way we can argue with that that level of political astuteness. And although I am a fan of John McCain's he really did seem to be a quite daft on more than one occasions. It was like he some kind of grandpa telling stories about when he was a kid. He was quite out of touch with reality.

The second reason that the democrats won is that the democrats play dirty pool, which is on a level that John McCain and his people would not stoop. Mind you the republicans play dirty pool also, it's just that McCain's folks aren't nearly as adept at it. Nor were they as adept at controlling the media. If Karl Rove had been running the McCain campaign he would have had a field day with it. There would have been images and innuendo about every possible aspect of Barrack Obama's life. His name, his lineage, his upbringing, his voting record or lack there of. Karl Rove would have slaughtered Barrack and we'd never have heard of him again, accept as an also ran.

So now we get the at least four years of the democratic propaganda machine to deal with. I'm not sure which is worst, only that at least when the republicans try to pull a fast one it's a little harder to catch them in the lies. However when the Democrats tell their lies it's difficult not to feel as though they are insulting our intelligence because their lies are so preposterous. And yet there are a good amount of the American people who are totally willing to believe them.

My plan is to keep track of these lies and miss truths, and keep a running tally of them as they come out.

And now a quote from one of my favorite fascist, Adolf Hitler:

"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed. "
