Democrats have perfected Saul Alinsky's Rule for
Radicals: "Pick the target. Freeze it.
Personalize it. Polarize it." It's
called the politics of personal destruction - and today, it's all the Dems and
their media lapdogs have left.
As they can't argue from principles, policies, or track
records, all they can do is engage in personal attacks on their opponents. Now they are so desperate to destroy Mitt Romney,
they are dredging up the ancient tale of the family dog, Seamus,
riding on the roof of the family car in 1983.
Turns out, though, that while Romney's dog ended up on the
roof of his car, Zero's dog ended up on the roof of his mouth.
Zero's supporters say he would never put a dog on the roof
of his car - it would dry out the meat.
And you know what Zero does when his dog gets stuck - he grabs a
toothpick.
The Daily Caller has
a compendium of these gags spun off Zero's revelation in his Dreams book that
he ate dog meat as a kid in Indonesia. There's
also a new Romney campaign poster:
The signs continue to mount that Romney is headed for the
presidency by a landslide. Zero will be
lucky to carry ten states (e.g., California, New York, and Leftie New England -
one of them won't
be Pennsylvania). One of the main
reasons will be dogs - yellow dogs. A new breed of yellow dogs.
You may be old enough to remember the term, "The Solid
South." This referred to the 13 states
of the Confederacy (including Missouri and Kentucky) in which the Democrat
Party held a monopoly of power for generations after Reconstruction ended in
1877. In the 18 presidential elections
from 1880 to 1948, the Republican candidate won only 14 states out of a total
of 234 (13x18=234) - with half of those, 7, going for Hoover in 1928 due to Al
Smith being a Roman Catholic Yankee.
During those years, folks in the South proudly called
themselves "Yellow Dog Democrats" - meaning "I'd rather vote for a yellow dog
than a Republican."
They're an almost extinct breed in the South nowadays, but
there are still plenty of them all over the country, the moochers and parasites
dependent on government handouts. Zero
is depending on the votes of Yellow Dog Democrats to be reelected.
It is thanks to Zero, however, that a new breed of yellow
dogs has emerged: Yellow Dog
Republicans. Folks who would rather vote for a yellow dog than for Obama. Because
of them, Romney is In like Flynn.
Now, Romney is no yellow dog. He is very bright - far more intelligent than
Zero - and very accomplished. He knows
more about and achieved more in the real world than Zero, vastly so. He is pro-capitalist and pro-American - while
Zero is the antithesis of both. He has
as many moral qualities that are admirable as Zero has that are contemptible.
That said, Romney is no Ronald Reagan. Romneycare and his multitude of flip-flops
are a tremendous turn-off for conservatives who wanted a real 10th
Amendment nominee like Sarah Palin or Rick Perry. Thus we see the punditocracy's prediction
that support among the "GOP base" (i.e., conservatives) will be lukewarm and
unenthusiastic, that GOP voters will drag themselves to the polls only to vote
against Zero, thus ensuring Romney's defeat.
This is the opposite of what is going to happen - indeed,
what has already started to happen. Ever
hear of Festinger's
Theory of Cognitive Dissonance?
Psychologist Leon Festinger (1919-1989) demonstrated experimentally that
when there is a conflict between a person's behavior and beliefs, they will
most often resolve it by changing what they believe to rationalize what they
do. Not the other way around.
With Romney, this means that the majority of conservatives
with antipathy towards him, yet know they will vote for him as ABO (Anybody But
Obama), will progressively abandon that antipathy as November looms
closer. They will focus more and more on
his positive attributes and less and less on his negatives.
Want some evidence?
Last Saturday (4/14), there was a huge Tea Party NObama Rally at the
Embarcadero in San Francisco, with some 600 tea partyers and patriots from all
over the Bay Area attending. "Hear us shout! Vote Obama out!" and "Hold the House! Seize the Senate! NObama
2012!" were their rallying cries.
As PJ Media and many others noticed, it ended up becoming a Tea
Party Rally for Romney, with "nearly universal Romney support," because "contrasted
against free-spending big-government Obama, even a moderate conservative like
Romney seems like a messiah by comparison. And just about everyone at the rally
realized that." The PJ Media link has a
great series of pictures. You'll enjoy
them, I'm sure.
Then there's this story Wednesday (4/18), Romney
In Demand With GOP Hopefuls, reporting that "while some Democrats have made
it clear that they would rather not be seen with President Obama on the
campaign trail this fall... conservative Republicans in the South to moderates in
the Northeast to endangered freshmen out West" all want to campaign with
Romney.
We have 6½ months to go before America's Nightmare ends (or
starts to, as it will continue until Inauguration on January 20). Zero will go for every dirty trick in the
book. His campaign will be endlessly and
revoltingly vicious and dishonest. But
one thing he won't do: actually improve the economy and increase private sector
employment (that is, real jobs). He won't
because he can't - he's a Marxist to the marrow.
Thus the numbers of Yellow Dog Republicans will grow to
overwhelming numbers - and their enthusiasm for Romney will grow
concomitantly. This is not an
endorsement of that enthusiasm - just a prediction.
What about the cheating, the massive voter fraud planned by
Zero and Holder? The answer lies in Hugh
Hewitt's book (indeed, in the book's title), If
It's Not Close They Can't Cheat.
In 2008, all the enthusiasm was on Zero's side. The only enthusiasm on our side was for
Sarah, not McCain. There is none for
Zero today - just the fear and anger of moochers afraid their gravy train will
be derailed. It's on our side now. You and I would never have guessed its focus
would be Mitt Romney. But, as the Tea
Party NObama rally showed last Saturday, it will be - thanks to Romney's
Yellow Dogs.
