Search Your Feelings, You Know It To Be True!

I remember when Obi Wan Kenobi lamented to Yoda, “That boy (Luke) is our last hope.” Yoda responded, “No. There is another.”

So it is in this year’s Presidential campaign.

It’s no secret that conservatives are not real happy with the Democrat’s Favorite Republican, John McCain, as the GOP nominee. And we certainly ain’t gonna abandon all hope and vote for Jar Jar Obama.

There is another.

Last year, Obama gave the following as his foreign policy credentials:

Well, actually, my experience in foreign policy is probably more diverse than most others in the field. I’m somebody who has actually lived overseas, somebody who has studied overseas. I majored in international relations.

“Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is,” said Master Yoda.

Well, based on Jar Jar’s profile for foreign policy expertise, I offer for your consideration: The Garnet Spy!

You see, I also majored in International Relations.

I, too, have lived overseas (7 years – almost twice as long as L’il Barry). I didn’t study overseas – I WORKED overseas. My time overseas was as an adult, not as an adolescent.

In fact, I’ve been to nine foreign countries on government business (10 if you count San Francisco).

I have not, however, been to all 57 states.

I began my government service before Jar Jar started high school.

I am not a lawyer.

My wife has ALWAYS been proud of the United States.

I, like John McCain said, prefer the sound of 50,000 Harley’s to the cheers of 200,000 Germans.

I believe Vladimir Putin’s ass should be kicked, not kissed.

I believe that in times of conflict, negotiation should be the first and the last steps taken. If the first one doesn’t work to the advantage of the United States, undertake measures necessary to correct. The second – and final – negotiation would then be a perfunctory session to be dubbed “The Missouri Talks.”.

I believe in Global Warming with the same faithfulness that John Edwards believes in … faithfulness.

My Jesus would damn Jeremiah Wright’s Jesus.

I’m older than Obama, but younger than McCain. In fact, I’m closer in age to Jar Jar than I am to Mr. Grumpy.

I would never go into any kind of closed session with Harry Reid.

I would push William Ayers down – then stomp on his commie throat.

I do NOT believe it just, correct, right, acceptable or a matter of “choice” to take a newborn from it’s mother and leave it in a sink to die. Jar Jar and I disagree on this.

So, if you haven’t decided for whom to vote, “Found someone, you have, I would say. Hmmm?”

  1. While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

    Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

    The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘post turtle.’

    Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.

    The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.

    The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain.

    ‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there in the first place.

  2. Good post and yankeedoodle1976 comment was pretty good too
