It's cutthroat in Iowa: The Swamp

by John McCormick

WASHINGTON, Iowa -- Anyone who doubts that campaigning for the Iowa caucuses is not a cutthroat business should witness the parking lot of the Washington County Fairgrounds this afternoon.

As several hundred potential voters headed to their cars after listening to Sen. Barack Obama, they found green cards on their windshields.

"Presidential candidate Chris Dodd invites you to discuss his plan to deliver real results for American families -- on the rural economy, education, health care, energy and more," the card read, as part of advertising a campaign visit by the Connecticut senator here this weekend.

Obama, who spoke under the roof of a show barn, of course handed out his own cards at the event. These cards, distributed by his staff, seek a firm commitment from voters in the rapidly approaching caucuses.

Barak Obama is sinking like a stone in the national polling, so we can expect an upsurge of Obama "coverage" in The Swamp along the lines of that hard hitting piece this morning about Barak's Hot Date.

Sniff, sniff... is that a Pulitzer I smell?

Eew, no! It's the upcomming tsunami of stable sweepings from McCormick, James et al.

Brace yourselves, dear readers.

When the Democrats took office in Congress they vowed to change things. To be transparent, honest, to stop expensive earmarks that raise the people's taxes. They had a secret meeting when the President was out of the country doing business about ethanol. They drew up a bill in secret and loaded it with hundreds of millions of dollars of earmarks for rich farmers etc. Then Pelosi made an inappropriate trip to see Assad in Syria. She was out of order, out of protocol, and presumptuous. Just before that she demanded a private Air Force One type airplane for her own use. Then they promised www.moveon.org and the special interest groups to stop the war. Hillary and Obama are the top running Democrats. Obama is very liberal and supported by the billionaire George Soros who some consider as evil. The man practically wrote the liberal mantras of abortion on demand, gay marriage, euthanasia, open borders, and globalization and next is gay sex practices taught in our schools. He told the Sunday Times he hated US supremacy in trade and industry and has been doing everything he could the last decade to bring it down. The Clintons passed eight federal education bills when Bill was President and Hillary tried to fly her old universal healthcare plan. She says it will cost 200 million to start. That is hilarious. There are 300 million citizens here and the program would cost 4 to 5 trillion a year. She wants to federalize education again. That would be the beginning of dozens of programs for Hispanics and blacks. It didn’t work before and it won’t again. When the lid was blown off New Orleans by Katrina, exposing America’s poorest people, we found four generations who were dependent on the government. We already have an exquisite welfare reform system call your local DHS and ask them what they do to rehabilitate young unmarried women to get them into the work or business world. They never built a wall or fence on our border, because their secret plans were to have open borders for all Mexicans, Americans and Canadians. They would drive through swipe a card and go. It is Bush’s plan to unite our three countries into one, a United States of North America. We would lose our independence, our sovereignty, and we would all be on welfare or on the state socialism. Hillary is a Socialist. When did the American people get to be so uninformed, so silly to vote for personalities who tell them everything they want to hear? They love to see Bill and Hillary together. Are they fooled by that act? He invented globalism. We shouldn‘t vote for someone that has a good personality, rather we should vote for someone we can trust, that doesn‘t lie, and is right about the issues. And surely not a socialist. We would end up bankrupting our system and pay higher and higher taxes. They want to raise our taxes from 12% to 27%. We would face more restrictions and regulations. We have a record right now of foreclosures.
