"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the american people."
- H. L. Mencken
A sort of perfect storm of forces combined to give the presidency to a leftwing, inexperienced, unqualified, unaccomplished person of very questionable character, denying it to one of america's greatest living heroes and a man great depth of experience.
Just some of the many factors coming together to produce this disaster:
1. The republicans allowing the lib media and the democrats get away with the fraud of hanging the recent economic crisis, a consequence of democrat policy and the efforts of leftwing "activists", on the republicans, with no response.
2. The widespread inability of many people to grasp the profound consequences of defeat in iraq, whatever the reasons for starting the war.
3. The general ignorance of the negative consequences of socialized medicine - probably millions of idiots have never thought further than "the government will pick up my medical bills - cool."
4. The growing power of the illegal alien invaders. The children of the last batch legalized, by Reagan in the 1980s, are now of voting age, mostly unassimilated, but well aware of which party it is that can be counted on to continue the invasion, eventually resulting in a country within a country in the US southwest - a new, unassimilated, not to be assimlated, hispanic nation with no identification with or loyalty to the US.
5. The near monolithic support of blacks for obama. The election for them was an existential experience - a validation of their lives by seeing someone of the same skin color attain the presidency. That is a great irony - they thereby verified the racist credo that skin color is what really matters.
6. The huge bot army - millions of young people whose fervor is inversely proportional to their grasp of history, policy, and economics.
7. The vast organized anti-McCain defamation system on the net. Scores of lies about McCain were spread, millions of people saw the lies, and the truth could never catch up with all the people who saw the lies.
8. The lib establishment, rich people who have never gotten over their irrational racial guilt, who have tried for 20 years to get a black president, ANY black president, missing with successively Jesse Jackson, Colin Powell, Harold Ford, and finally hitting paydirt with obama.
9. The lib media - formerly content to inject bias in to the news with usually a little subtlety, indirection, and sophistication, pulled out all the stops and spent a year "covering" the campaign with a wholesale, blatant, naked bias that probably would make even Dan Rather blush. This is probably the last "gift" from the dying parts of the lib media establishment - the soon to fade into history big city lib monopoly newspapers, and the broadcast networks with their shrinking viewership and revenue.
10. Huge numbers of uneducated middle and lower class white people, who apparently think (all historical evidence to the contrary notwithstanding) that statism is the answer to all their problems. Boy, will they be surprised.
11. The repeated blunders by the McCain campaign - only the most recent one being to appear on SNL to be laughed at by new york libs - what was he thinking??
As of now, the US doesn't really have any "politics" at the national level - what passes for politics will just be occasional disputes between the liberal viewpoint represented by congress, and the leftwing mind of obama. The country has signed up for leftwing government, presided over by the most leftwing person since FDR - a person whose writing and statements show that he fully supports the classic leftist religion that all good comes from the state. The uninformed people are about to get an unforgettable lesson in exactly what that means. The one consolation is the often-repeated observation that in a democracy, people get the government they deserve. Unfortunately, they will drag me down too.
