He's Not One Of Us

Thank God.

The following commentary was written as a response to my viewing the Chris Matthews Hardball segment on Friday, October 10th, where Chris calmly let Pat Buchanan speak his "mind".

When Pat Buchanan says that Barack Obama is "not one of us", I say Halleluiah!

Coming from Pat Buchanan, John McCain, Sarah Palin, the Republican Party, and the whole right wing lunatic fringe, I repeat, "thank God".

Pat Buchanan says the ACLU is a "detestable organization".

Then, he brings up Michael Dukakis and Willie Horton.

Let me tell you "my friends", that is, plain and simply, race baiting.

Pat is a very competent political spokesperson for the Republican Party. He normally comes across as just a little bit angry, old, out of touch, and pushy.

I can normally listen to him with an open mind and some resemblance of respect.

That is, even still, when he tries to justify McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as a great choice.

But, as I sensed long ago (and not as long ago as Nixon, who's campaign Pat worked for) that Pat Buchanan has "at LEAST" somewhat of a racist tinge.

Wow, Buchanan "blames" the entire Obama success on the economic failure.

I, personally, tend to think that this economic meltdown is really not half of the reason that Obama is ahead.

Honestly, I think the polls would not have been much different if this economic breakdown had not occurred.

I thank God that it did BEFORE the election though, since it's one less thing that "they" will be able to blame on Obama when he is elected by an OVERWHELMING MAJORITY on Nov 4th.

Peace.
