Oh What a Night-By: Michael A. Minton  

 http://mrrightopinion.blogstream.com/

Well, it’s not late December, and it’s not back in ‘63, but I think it’s fair to say, “Oh What a Night.” Super Tuesday-Part Deux proved to be just that…super. The Republicans finally can say they have a nominee, and Democrats can say they have mass confusion.

Congratulations go out to Sen. John McCain for clinching the Republican nomination with a clean sweep of Tuesday’s primaries. And I guess it’s only fair to congratulate Gov. Huckabee for his hard-fought campaign. I know I called on him to drop out long ago, and I still think that would have been the thing to do. But he had every right to stay in until the end, and, driven by principle, he did just that.

On the other side, I don’t think it could get much more interesting. As I write this, Hillary has definitely won two states, and it looks like Texas will probably go her way. The spinners for Barack Hussein Obama are trying their best to downplay Hillary’s major wins by saying that the delegate count won’t shift much, and they are right about that.

However, Sen. Clinton has accomplished a much larger feat than winning a few delegates tonight. She has put the brakes on the momentum of the Obama express. Democrats are finally coming to their senses about Barack Hussein Obama and are starting to actually think about the substance, not just the flash, of their choices.

I believe it was I who said that Obama was copying a page straight out of the Democrat playbook: pie-in-the-sky promises with no way to actually achieve them. I told you, my fellow Opinionators, that his campaign was an aberration, and that it could not sustain itself. And while it is far from over, I truly think that, with seven weeks to go before the next major contest in Pennsylvania, Hillary has turned the “mojo” on Barack.

Please do not take my little push for Sen. Clinton as support; it is not. However, Barack Hussein Obama scares the devil out of me. The mere thought of someone as liberal as he, almost to the point of Communism, sitting in the Oval Offiice, literally makes me start mourning the death of America. I’m serious, he is that dangerous.

I don’t like very much at all about Hillary Rodham Clinton, but I don’t think she would destroy the country in under four years. I do think that Sen. Obama could, and most likely would.

And while I’m on the subject of support for Hillary, indulge me, please, as I do a little commentary on one of “our own.” What in the world is wrong with Ann Coulter? I think this election cycle has literally put her over the edge. Short of Hitler becoming the Republican nominee, I would NEVER behave as she is now behaving.

I saw her today on Cavuto (I think) and heard more of the same unbelievable bile that she has been spewing lately. She was again saying that she would support the Democrat candidate in the general election if Sen. McCain is the Republican candidate. As I have stated previously, and will state again, that kind of rhetoric is childish and asinine. I find myself totally dumbfounded when I hear her speak these days.

She did say that if Mitt Romney were McCain’s running mate that she would probably vote the Republican ticket, because that would give Romney a better shot in 2012. I just can’t figure her out. If she is truly fighting for the conservative cause, what purpose does this silly talk possibly serve? Does she really think that Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama would be a more conservative president than John McCain? If so, she is delusional and needs psychiatric care immediately.

Once again I would like to point out Mr. Right Opinion’s mathematical equations. One Republican who decides not to vote at all in the general election = one vote for the Democrat (i.e. one less vote for the Republican). One Republican who chooses to actually vote for the Democrat = two votes for the Democrat (i.e. one less vote for the Republican, and one more vote for the Democrat).

Think about it, Republicans. Like him or not, Sen. McCain IS the Republican nominee for president in 2008. If you sit it out this time, or even worse, actually switch sides, you are helping either Obama or Clinton get the keys to the White House. Do you honestly think that America would be better served by one of them than by McCain? The answer is obvious.

All I can say to Ann Coulter, and to anyone of like mind, is that it’s time to grow up and stop acting like children. The stakes for our great nation have probably never been higher. I know Republicans could have done better in our choice. But, it is what it is, and we, as alleged adults, must accept the reality and stand behind our candidate.
