Yesterday, longtime Floridian Rush Limbaugh (aka "the man who runs America) played no less than 5 consecutive hilarious parodies featuring the eminently immitable John McCain voice and splattering his infinite foibles across the panhandle (and the rest of the country, as well). Over the past several weeks Limbaugh has spent virtually every airtime moment that he hasn't been busy helping build the ObamaMonster (via Rush's bizarre obsession with the idiosyncrasies of Hillary Rodham) exposing the Ted Kennedy-esque agenda of the ""MaveriCain."
Rush has been joined in this passionate pursuit by virtually every major conservative talk show host (i.e. the folks who so irritated McCain ally Trent Lott with their "straight talk" that derailed the Kennedy-McCain Citizenship for America-Loathing, Foreign Flag Toting, Gang Banging Democrat-Marxist Voting Invaders Act last summer).
Collectively, they've brought to our attention the McCain record, including:
- his close friendships with the aforementioned Teddy Bare and John Kerry and his expressed admiration for Mrs. Clinton,
- his above referenced no holds barred campaign to ram through Congress amnesty and voting rights for 22,000,000 or 44,000,000, or however many million burglars of America are gracing us with their presence,
- his banning - via McCain-Feingold of advocacy ads that mention a candidate's name close enough to an election for it to matter,
- his opposition to even the modest Bush tax cuts on the Marxist class envy grounds that "rich" (defined, in effect, as whoever makes enough to provide for their families without relying on government handouts) got even a modest share of the benefits,
- his aim to greatly restrict our liberties on the basis of the global warming fraud,
- his opposition to any increase in domestic oil production,
- his open disdain for evangelical voters,
- his volatile temper,
- his pro-abortion votes,
- ad nauseum
..and the GOP voters in the Florida presidential primary yesterday apparently loved it, allegedly giving McCain an even more rousing plurality (36%) than he supposedly got in my home state of South Carolina a couple weeks earlier. And this time nobody could blame it on Democrat or Independent crossover voters, as that is not allowed in Florida.
[In my travels through my state since the palmetto primary, I've continued to ask strangers and associates about whose politics I've known nothing the same question - whether they even know anybody who voted for McCain - and continued to come up dry. Since my blog pieces on the phenomenon, I've been flooded with e-mails from all over the state - to the same effect. It seems these folks, too, have been iced out of the most exclusive SC society of all, the League of Acquaintances of McCain Voters.]
Add, to McCain's announced 36%, Rudy Giuliani's ostensive 15%, and a couple Lieber-libs who make only the most perfunctory, cynical pretense of any conservaitve inclinations won 51% of the Republican vote in this southern state.
Combine that with 31% for Mitt Romney (whose "conservative" candidate image flies directly in the face of just about everything he did as governor of Massachusetts), and that leaves Mike Huckabee (whose record similarly belies his rhetoric) as the only significant "southern conservative" candidate, with an earth shattering 13%.
Then there was Ron Paul (who's somehow managed to outraise all the other candidates combined, who, if the pattern from other states held, likely had about 10 times as many signs posted as the others combined, and probably won all the "unscientific" - read: "unrigged because they were done by radio stations, not professional liars" - polls by margins of something like 900%). He got his customary 3%, according to the trusty vote count.
[Assuming - and this his purely hypothetical, I assure you - the electoral fix is in for McCain, the "Republican" (or does that "R" after his name stand for "Renegade?") most widely despised by Repulicans in my lifetime. By now there might be no more need for such rigging, due to the self fulfilling prophecy effect. By now, naive voters would be telling themselves there must be something to this McCain fellow, what with all the "southern conservatives" voting for him. But, understand, this is purely speculative fun.]
Yes, another batch of Dixie Republicans gave America's foremost RINO their seal of approval yesterday. And the Democrats, for their part, chose Jesse Helms. And I'm Britney Spears.
Well, we could always ask for a look at those good ol' Florida hangin' chads (nothing like a few fresh ones off the vine). Oh, yeah, they corrected that, with their replacement by electronic voting machines (who needs a paper trail, when we can place our blind trust in state-of-the-art technology?).
And what about the Dieblods' hackability tests? What's that? 12-year-old geeks could get in consistently within about 20 seconds from their remote laptops? Not to worry. The global socialist establishment could never figure out how to do that.
