So I'm wondering. What is the new kind of politics that Barack Obama and his supporters talk about? What does it mean? How do we know we're engaged in a new kind of politics? I have a theory but perhaps I could be mistaken. Whenever someone ran an ad against him, questioning his record or simply pointing out their ability to answer a ringing red phone at 3 in morning, Senator Obama and his clan of insecure supporters slapped the "Politics of old" sticker on it. When Charles Gibson grilled Barack Obama over his flip flop on taxes, CGT, and Gun Control, after the debate Senator Obama mocked the moderators and accused them of, you guessed it, "Old Washington politics" So I'm going to take a stab at guessing what the new kind of politics are, here goes nothing.

According to Senator Obama if you question his record, his words, his supporters, or his past you're a partitioner of old style politics. He actually believes that we should never vet him or question what he says. His idea of a new politics is to accept whatever he offers no matter how empty or questionable it may be. To object his proposals is to engage in Washington tomfoolery. I remember the outrage from the Obama camp when Hillary Clinton's now legendary 3 AM Red Phone ad swept the nation. Other Dem's said it was a Republican prototype and it rivaled Rudy Guliani's terrorist ads. I wouldn't go that far, just compare the two.

Rudy's Ad:

Now sink his ad in and look at Hillary's ad:

Now that you've seen the two ads, is Hillary's ad really a horrible sort of scare you into submission kind of ad? Compared to Rudy's "We're all gonna die! If you don't vote for me" ad? I thought Obama supporters were wearing their pansy symbol on their sleeves when they cried about it. Yet that's the environment Barack Obama created this year. We aren't suppose to question records, or run ads that make valid points, or talk about issues, or vet candidates we hardly know if at all. We're suppose to accept what he says and fall in line. He's the change candidate and change is good even if it's bad. After all, according to Obama if we aren't supporting him then we're anti-hope, against change, and we're dream crushers.

Or perhaps we're intelligent people who value our vote instead of throwing it away on a guy that at best could write a nice poetry book or song. He basically stole away Bill Clinton's former staff and expects us to believe he holds detailed and fundamental knowledge of the issues. Some of those former Clinton staffers should have told him that raising the CGT will have a negative result on middle income families; not just the very rich. But I guess in the interest of fairness Obama has to screw the very people he promises to help.

Finally I absolutely love denial and race baiting Obama supporters participate in. Whenever someone states, I don't know, the facts? maybe? about Hillary Clinton winning the white working class vote by an overwhelming margin the Obama camp accuses her of being racist, or they dismiss those working class voters as racist feeble minded rednecks. On Facebook I posted a blog about the large number of African Americans voting for Obama and I caught hell for it. One Obama supporter asked me this insightful question:

Do you ever ask why so many white people are only voting for McCain?

They meant that in a harsh tone because they were angry for my bringing up the obvious. The obvious they refuse to accept. I told the supporter that of course blacks vote for Obama because he's black. Women did the same for Hillary, and I'm sure if a Latino or Asian candidate ran it would read the same result. People finally want to vote for someone that looks like them. It doesn't make sense to ask why so many white people are voting for McCain because white men have been running for president since this nation first began. So why would white people vote for McCain based on historic reasons?

The Obama camp hates whenever someone states the facts. They don't take kindly to rational assessment and they reject all forms of reality. They believe reality harbors the very thing they're fighting against. They're fighting a realist view of the world and they long to replace it with idealistic and sometimes unrealistic ideals and policy.


So let's recap: The New Style Politics:

1.Flip flopping on taxes, CGT, and gun rights

2.Lying about ever hearing your pastor say divisive remarks in church and then admitting that you heard him say controversial comments

3.Misleading people about rejecting money from oil companies when no candidate can take money because it's illegal and has been for 100 years.

4.Touting your refusal to accept money from lobbyists and how you're the only candidate to refuse the money when you received money from Winston Strawn and Pipe DLA lobbyist firms

5.Bragging about your anti-Iraq war position then saying in debates that had you actually voted for the war you don't know how you would have voted. Oh and don't forget taking your anti-Iraq war speech off your website
