The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

A Message To John McCain & the Troops.

True conservative or not, the best remark of the campaign was McCain's when he reached 1911, quoting Chairman Mao that falling off a cliff is easy in life even when you struggle to avoid it. So let's be thankful for the fact that the Democrats are scratching each other's eyes out in a way that will leave them down 14 points at the start of the third quarter, even though they may poll ahead at the moment. Check out this mad endorsement for Senator Obama, which includes what seems to me to be the most murderously accurate description of Senator Clinton I have ever come across, despite the writers' Communist take on life. This is being posted on Obama websites.

Best wishes to us all,
Martha Turner

A Warning to Obama:

Tell Obama he better listen to this. He has spirit, but is a bit out of his game, in a somewhat un-familiar environment of poisonous snakes who strike unexpectedly. So this is no lesson, to be hurt in public badly, to learn by experience. I can feel Barack to be a good man, but also as somebody destined to lose, unless he listens up to the beginning of our website, where we describe Hillary correctly. Not politely, but accurately. This is not a rant. Nor am I saying I am smarter than Barack. What I am is older than him, 64 years old, PhD in Biophysics, with some very real experience under his belt, as can be checked out on our website, www.matrix-evolutions.com. It has a bit more analysis of Mrs. Clinton on it, too. If Barack loses, we all lose. If anybody thinks this is a joke, as you might see in an Internet come-on, it's not. It's the real thing. And now I will turn the floor over to my wife, the one who best understands Hillary Clinton, and many other things.

The Revolutionary Party endorses Barack Obama as the next president of the United States.
This is the most important election America will ever have, possibly the last if Obama is not elected.

The Revolutionary Party derives its politics from an equation for evolution that has been accepted by science for the last eighty years and that we trust as much as religious believers trust Pat Robertson. Mathematics doesn't lie, at least not as well as Robertson does. Anyway, an analysis based on the equation indicates that the so-called war on terror will inexorably ratchet up to world war level, a pretty horrible thought given a world armed with nuclear weapons. For that reason we support Barack Obama as the only real anti-war candidate.

Hillary? In our opinion, she is the more all round competent candidate and has been upended by Obama to a great degree because he is trim and youthfully enthusiastic. But before Hillary came Bill, which should cause us to stop and think.

The value of our mathematics based analysis lies in its ability to objectively distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys. The technical aspects of the analysis make it slow reading for those without a science background, so we will give its conclusions first here and save the detailed reasoning for later.

Put simply, the Clintons are what is known in the political science textbooks as populists, those who achieve political success by playing to the people, to their needs and pains and wants. But there is a difference between patter and delivery. We are all familiar with artificial soda. The Clintons are like an artificial banana split, very likable, but with no real food value.

Recall President Clinton and his first lady. During their tenure America's favorite political couple sang a song of health care delivery, but delivered rather on prison construction and on the number of police put on the streets. The Pew Report that came out the end of February said that one American in a hundred is locked up in a prison or jail. To put this into better perspective, the report said that America has 7 million people in jail or otherwise under the control of the penal system. This is 16 times more per capita than the communist People's Republic of China, where, we are told, there is no freedom or human rights. Clinton legislature took America to the highest prison population in the world, a statistic historically associated with police states like Stalinist Russia and apartheid South Africa. This is not to say that America is a police state, of course, for if it were you'd have heard about it on the evening news.

Also notably absent in the media is another creation of the Clintons, the near million homeless people that wander the streets of Sacramento and Las Vegas and our other big cities. This sharp upsurge in homelessness came about inarguably as a result of Clinton legislature that ended LBJ's war on poverty by terminating effective social protections for out of work people, something many more will become more familiar with as the stock market collapses from the cost of the war and the recession takes hold in full force.

What the Clintons did with prisons and police and welfare protection and NAFTA and failed to do with health care very much pleased the moneyed class and the conservatives. Our technical analysis objectively shows the Republican social and fiscal conservatives to be bad guys because their relationship to the working class and middle class is basically that of master to servant. This fact is also muted by populist politicians like the Clintons whose tax returns, were they to be made public, would show that they are members in good standing of the moneyed class too.

This deep secret of class control and abuse is also kept under wraps by the media, whose personalities are hired and controlled by the moneyed class. Other than the few raisins stirred into in the poison muffin of TV to make it seem fair, media people who don't keep the secret of class control and the unhappiness of most of us that derives from it don't last long on their jobs or are not hired to begin with.

The ones who do make the cut endlessly spout the lies of the so-called American Dream in one form or another. The power of the media to control people's thoughts and actions in conformity with American ideology is difficult to assess for people who get their information primarily from the media, which is most people. This power of media to control thinking was dramatically illustrated towards the end of WWII in Germany just before the fall of Berlin as the Allied and Russian troops converged on the city. Most Germans even in those final moments still believed Hitler's media propaganda that they were still winning the war.

In our own times, hidden by the media from public sight are facts about life readily observable even by doing something as simple as riding public transportation. Here the observer notes that the common people are unhappy, fear and personal failure showing clearly on their faces and in their behaviors. This effect of control and abuse in the workplace and at school is not made clear from TV where all the media personalities act through their endlessly smiling and bubbly days to show to the audience that America really is a happy place, the steady stream of mass murders in schools, workplaces and malls not able to be kept out of the news notwithstanding.

And much as the ugly facts of our present existence are air brushed out in the media, so also is the future we realistically face. Not made clear is that the dollar is fast becoming as worthless as the paper it is printed on to keep the war going. Or that the stock market and the housing market will soon halve their value giving those who have been spared homelessness and jail to date a taste of these hells on earth firsthand. The Clintons will not care because they are a part of the apparatus that brought us to where we are at in America today.

Hillary should be given credit for being an ambitious and a profoundly adept social climber and a very talented actress, our American Evita. We have no problem applauding her for her personal successes. But she is never going to go against the wishes of the money class that created her and Bill and supported these two as their adorable political puppets. She will not stop this war.

Yes, she says she will, despite her voting for the war. And, of course, there are those of you that think that Hillary would never lie to us. But Bill said he would never lie to us, too. And he said it so well that I yet don't believe he lied to us about Monica. Monica who? She never existed. That is how good an actor Bill is. And this suggests that his mate is no less of a self-serving liar.

Of course, transgressions are relative. Yes, the flag pin wearing conservatives are more disgusting than the Clintons. Who of us is not totally revulsed by the smell of a public rest room emanating from the Bible squeezing, boy hustling conservative senator from Idaho caught with his pants down? Nobody has caught Bill at something that viscerally gross yet. Still, what character is there in a first family when the head of the most powerful nation on earth sticks a penile object, not even his own, up some college kid's vagina? If the Clinton presidency were a movie, they would not be playing the Star Spangled Banner in the background during that particular scene.

And to be completely and totally unkind - and very logical -- doesn't it make you wonder about the guy's wife? Really, does any intelligent female over the age of 22 think that Hillary actually felt bad about Bill and Monica? Judging from the observable obvious that Bill is no more than Hillary's showboat, the best educated guess is that is Hillary is lesbian, a married one, not that unusual in modern America. If Hillary was mad about anything with Monica, it was that she didn't get a shot at her too. Watch one of Hillary's girlfriends surfacing soon to clarify Hillary's preference as to penile object.

The smiling Clintons are so phony and so odd in this area that one would not be surprised to find that the unconfident Chelsea Clinton developed as such as a result of some form of child abuse. Chelsea does not look happy. Neglect by the Clintons is hardly to be overlooked as this ambitious pair had better things to pay attention to in their furious political rise to the top than their daughter. And sexual abuse is not to be totally ruled out either given Bill's sexual tastes.

The best bet to end the war and end our American style police state is to vote for Barack Obama. Not for Hillary, who is sufficiently self-serving and devious that one would not be surprised to see her team up with Huckabee on a national reconciliation ticket to satisfy her political ambition. Hopefully Obama will not be removed by the ruling class by assassination, which they would do if methods to remove him don't work. These could include much media humiliation or using their federal prosecutors on a leash to try Resko at this most inopportune time or even Resko inventing a story about Barack in order to trade 15 years over his head for two. Or something like that.

I ran for President in 2000 as a write-in candidate and would consider doing it again, if it were necessary to keep the beautiful voice of resistance in play. But only in the event that Obama is derailed by the conservatives, which we very much fear because these people will do anything to retain power, including staging all sorts of political theatre at Barack's expense and detriment. Or worse.

Wyoming was a good win for Romney - too bad it didn't help him much in the end. If it weren't for Huckabee, he would have garnered more votes and gave McCain a real run for the money. http://www.shelf-corp.com/wyoming-shelf-corporations.htm

B202 - Please stop your offensive comments about the Mormons. You really need to educate yourself.

Here is a quick video of Myths and Facts:

http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/

It shows that Wyoming caucus is scheduled for March. Was this some kind of stunt? Did the voters of Wyoming even know what happened?

Although I do like John Mccain, I feel that Mike Huckabee is the stronger leader, and is the best choice for America.

Mike consistently lowered taxes in Arkansas and left the State with billions in surplus. Mike supports the fairtax. The fairtax cuts the IRS which saves the U.S. billions of dollars in what it costs the IRS to operate. It implements a 23% consumption tax. What this does is ensures everyone pays tax, eliminating the cheats who work under the table, eliminates drug dealers pimps prostitute as well as others from skipping out on tax. When they go to the store to buy something, they now pay tax like the rest of us. You are thrifty, then you save money. If you want to work a second job the tax bracket no longer penalizes you. Overall our country increases revenue and we fix our economy.

Mike Huckabee finished first in Iowa Caucus with huge lead because he is from the people, for the people. We like Mike.

I support Mike Huckabee 100%

I am confused about the delegate count.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#R

It seems Romney has some from states that have note voted yet. can that be from congress men who have endorsed him?

still it does not show the 30 for Huchabee that was stated earlier.

Wyoming is no less representative than say, Iowa or New Hampshire.

As someone from Wyoming, maybe I can add a little perspective. First of all, Wyoming has a small population and we know it. We like it that way. We may not be the most influential state, but we are proud to be in the process. Wyoming is overall a very conservative state- there are a few "pockets" of liberal towns, but overall we tend to be very conservative. We do have a democratic governor, but in other states he would probably be a republican. Only a few communities are predominantely mormon and most of those are small towns (less than 4000 people each)- most of our towns are not, and our largest communities are certainly not. We are definitely not "upper Utah" and resent that image (attend a UW vs BYU game sometime). I think what people recognize is that Mitt Romney has the same basic values as us. I listened to his speech on religion on youtube and it is one of the best speeches I've heard from a politician in a long time and it was not about "being mormon"- it was about religious freedom and values. Mitt Romney took Wyoming because he was the best fit for our state, not because of his religion.

B2O2, why do you dismiss Romney's win in Wyoming as due to 10% mormons but you apparently don't dismiss Huckabee's win in Iowa because of the evangelical Christian vote? If you take the evangelicals out of the Iowa Caucuses, Romney won in every demographic.

Regardless, you don't think Mormons count? And you don't think Mormons are capable of examining the candidates and voting their favorite without regard to religion? If so, you're a bigot. But I guess you already demonstrated that. Try meeting a few Mormons before spewing your hate.

Also, Wyoming's delegates are more ridiculously loosely bound than even those in Iowa. People's votes don't really count, hard and fast at least, as much as you would hope. We really need to update our electoral system to get it up to the standards of say, Cuba, for starters!

Nice try carolm62, but you need to read the small print on delegate assignment. It varies by state, and some of them can get exhaustingly arcane. Iowa, for instance, has a large chunk of winner-take-all delegates, and Huckabee got them for capturing the state. Also, it looks like neither McCain nor Thompson, despite polling reasonably well in Iowa, won any precincts, so they come up empty.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-01-03-iowa-gop_N.htm

So the delegate score after Wyoming is:

Huckabee 30 (all from Iowa)
Romney 15 (7 from Iowa, 8 from Utah-North)
Thompson 2 (Wyoming)
Hunter 1 (some wacko wingnut district of Wyoming went for him)

Hey, Duncan's ahead of Giuliani!

Smart move of Mitt. Caucus victors are invariably "awarded" a sudden increase in donations and volunteers.

Wyoming is a small state, but the people here are politically active. At today's Wyoming GOP county conventions, Mitt Romney took nearly 60% of the vote. Surprisingly, there was no effort by either McCain or Huckabee. Feeble effort by Thompson, Paul, Giuliani and Hunter. Hey, Iowa was the first inning and Huck scored first. But it's a nine inning game. Batter up!

I'm pasting this one. :-)

If you look through the smoke screen and look at the facts, Mitt Romney already has more delegates committed to him than Huckabee or McCain. Follow the numbers:

Iowa has 40 Delegates, Wyoming 12 Delegates, New Hampshire 12 Delegates.

RESULTS OF IOWA AND WYOMING:

Huckabee: 34% Iowa (14 delegates); 0% Wyoming (0 delegates): Total 14 delegates.

Romney: 25% Iowa (10 delegates); 73% Wyoming (8 delegates): Total 18 delegates.

McCain: 13% Iowa (5 delegates); 0% Wyoming (0 delegates): Total 5 delegates.

PROJECTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE (CNN POLL) New Hampshire 12 Delegates. Lets now look at the current projections for New Hampshire. Total delegates 12.

If one uses a recent poll McCain is 33%, Romney 27%, Huckabee 11%. Lets add these to the above and see what emerges:

Huckabee 11% New Hampshire (1 delegate).
GRAND TOTAL: 15 delegates,

McCain 33% New Hampshire (4 delegates). GRAND TOTALL 4 delegates.

ROMNEY 27% New Hampshire (3 delegates) GRAND TOTAL: 23 delegates,

IT SEEMS THAT ROMNEY IS LEADING IN THE DELEGATE COUNT!

"Wyoming is the reddest of red states. In Wyoming we like our politicians conservative."

They apparently also like them, uh, Mormon. Wyoming is TEN PERCENT LDS. It is the third most Mormon state in the country, after Utah and Idaho. OOPS! Yes, I know, the Post is far too polite to talk about the benefits of cult membership.
