    The devil was in Saul Alinsky’s head.

    In the front matter of Alinsky’s last book, Rules for Radicals, he wrote an acknowledgment to Lucifer.

    You can’t make this stuff up.

    And what does that say about Barack Obama that he was both a student of, and teacher of, Alinsky’s radical methods?

    And what about Obama’s totally unBiblical concept of “collective salvation“?

    There was just too much going against McCain this year. Bush’s screw ups and unseriousness and now the banking panic, the press and the elites mostly in the tank for Obama. Too much to fight, even for McCain.

    Oh well, we have only oursleves to blame, that we conservatives waited too long to force feet to the fire. The K Street Project should have been the sign, but we shambled along. And when Trent Lott was voted into the Senate leadership last year — was that not a huge warning signal?

    I have decided that I can be a conservative or a Republican, not both. I have decided to be a conservative and stand aside shouting STOP! when the interests of my philosophy no longer line up with the GOP.

    In 2004, the pollsters OVER-polled Republicans so it would look like Bush had a big lead. Over the next few weeks they evened out the numbers so it made Kerry look like the “come-back kid!”

    POLLS ARE B.S. Even if they “prove” to be “accurate” later, they can be manipulated to acheive any desired outcome.

    #1-more republican supporters than Obama supporters and
    #2-there are just a FEW more brave men and women than the less than 2000 listed in this article.
