That’s a conservative estimate of how many people came out to see Barack Obama speak in Portland this weekend. The state holds its primary tomorrow. [HuffPo]
Obama can still lose if gets caught in too Kerry-like vacillations, such as his escapades pandering to bigots and to us, and by the unknown factor of racism. The Clintons first introduced racism into the campaign against Obama but it’s fast becoming a big part of Republican strategy. They’re so heartily disliked that they really have no choice, and they’re much better at than Hillary and Bill. Willie Horton redux. We‘ll know by November 5th how the Bradley effect will play out but for now ALL the signs point to a repeat of LBJ’s 1964 landslide defeat of the Republicans.
Like Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ and Clinton, Obama is promising peace but will lead us into war. Like Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes, McCain is beating the war drum and will lead us into war.
Obama’s ‘peace’ pledge is based on the lie used by LBJ and the Democrats when they invaded and occupied Vietnam. It’s a propaganda ploy called ‘phased withdrawal’. That’s Vietnam era code for ‘we’ll leave when we damn well feel like it and we won’t leave without oil hegemony.†LBJ and the Democrats were defeated on the ground in Nam. The next administration will be forced out of Iraq. In both cases the cause was/is obstinate insurgents and the efforts of civilian and GI antiwar activism.
Disillusionment with Obama (or McCain) will be compounded by their continued assaults on our standard of living, union busting, the lack of socialized medicine and sham efforts (like Barney Franks fake version of ENDA) against bigotry.
The bigger they are the harder they fall. Obama idolatry will rather quickly turn into anger. And that will be the signal for the GLBT movement and our allies in the antiwar and other movements to begin cleaning up the mess created by those naive enough to vote for Democrats.
