...and The Plot Thickens.

Posted by Ron Maestri on Thursday, September 04, 2008 10:22:08 AM
I have to admit I was a bit miffed by John McCain's choice of running mate in Sarah Palin. Who? What? Where? and even more importantly, Why? So, I decided to wait it out and see. Now, almost a week after his announcement, I'm convinced. His choice shows us exactly the type of president John McCain would be if elected. He thinks outside the box. Of course it was risky, but never afraid to stare fear straight in the face, Mr. McCain proved himself to be a very smart leader. We weren't hearing Obama chants after the DNC. We were booking flights to Alaska and spending all of our media time (liberal and conservative) talking about this person with 5 kids still breast feeding. She's everything Hillary could have been to Barack Obama, had he been willing to stare fear straight in the face. That's a big negatory. He was afraid of Hillary and especially Bill, so rather than fight, he switched to one of the biggest Washington insiders around, completely contrary to his message and his brand. Joe Biden is no friend to Israel, either. He made some ridiculous comment to their leadership in 2005 that "Israel needs to accept a nuclear Iran."
 
During the DNC very intuitive directors were cutting back and forth between Hillary's speech and Michelle Obama's expressions, which were fear and an "I knew she'd tout herself instead of Barack" facial expressions (I could almost see the thought bubbles overhead) to one of relief after an incredible show of strength and support by Mrs. Clinton for her husband. The next night when the former president spoke, once again those fears were laid to rest because say what you want, the Clintons know how to make things right, and they most certainly did. I always thought he was a good president and both their speeches were stellar.
 
I'd bet my parents (win or lose, take them, please) that Barack and Michelle secretly regretted passing over Hillary as his VP. I still firmly believe it would have been game, set and match for him, and I would have cheered him for taking such a bold risk for choosing her...and vote for both. Nope, Mr. Obama's fear of failure and Mt. Sinai ego got the best of him, and he went with a loud mouth who on "60 Minutes" this past Sunday, spent the entire interview backpeddling his gaffs, like plagiarizing a speech that took him out of a presidential election. Mr. Biden needs to check his own ego at the door when he debates Ms. Palin, or she'll probably kick the crap out of him and send him back to scrotum...I mean, Scranton, PA., which he has suddenly embraced as his home. Sorry Delaware, you're just not big enough. Biden is now longer from you.
 
John McCain showed us strength and courage. Barack Obama showed us weakness and fear. In a conversation with my sister who is 5 years younger and a staunch democrat living in Colorado, she referred to Sarah Palin as too inexperienced. I replied, "You mean, like Barack Obama?" It was the first time I ever heard my sister speechless. I actually thought the phone cut off and the signal had faded.
 
I wonder what Rachel Maddow must be thinking right about now. I'm sure she's ferklempt because all the kings horses and all the kings men may not be able to put Barack Obama back together again. She should be spending her off time from all the Obama focus (no-one sweems to care as much about him these days as they do this governor from Alaska) and learn proper attire and make-up tricks, like forgoing low cut or insisting the make-up artist continue past her neck. The CU poses don't work well, either. I hear through the grape vine she's considering whether or not to wear glasses on her new MSNBC show. I'd go with a bag.
 
The saddest part to this whole thing is that Hillary's views are more in line with how I think. She's pro-choice, pro-universal healthcare, pro-gay marriage. Ms. Palin's creationism argument is laughable and pictures of her seated on a dead bear in her governor's office are repulsive. Her stance on abortion is equally absurd, but hey, that Barack certainly can be a leader, can't he?
 
So now let's look at the campaign today and see how things have radically changed on both sides with the choice of Sarah Palin. Those 18,000,000 cracks in the ceiling might just band together because she's a woman (don't laugh, what percentage of blacks are supporting Barack?) and the greatest blunder of the 21st century, his failure to go with the obvious, may be scrutinized for years to come during the McCain/Palin Administration.

McCain Picks Hillary as VP!

Posted by Ron Maestri on Thursday, August 21, 2008 8:54:30 AM
Now wouldn't that be a dream ticket?
 
Think about it. No only would it be THE perfect way to completely usurp and upstage rock star Obama's "Change" campaign promise (I can think of nothing better to describve change than that) but it would also practically guarantee McCain the 18,000,000+ voters for Mrs. Clinton who felt betrayed. You don't think they're just dying for "change"? I'd be leery of those boring conservatives, if I were you John.
I'm betting that if they have a choice of going to polls or staying home to watch re-runs of "The Beverly Hillbillies", they'll choose the latter. You need the dems. This idea isn't so far fetched.
 
I was first to say I disliked Hillary Clinton as president until she grew some hustpa and showed what an incredible fighter she really was. That's who I want in the White House. A fighter, not anyone willing to have tea and krumpets with Iran who can't make up his mind about whether or not the troop surge is working.
 
The advantage for her of course is that it's a perfect "I told you so" to the Democratic National leaders. My eyes still hurt from rolling so much after the "It's all for the good of the party" concession speech and follow-up campaigning next to Obama. The guy clearly hates her as he proved by his Freudian slip, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Help Hillary pay off her debt. Basketball, anyone?" Why should she care anything about a party that clearly didn't invite her. Let's also not forget that should Mr. McCain nab the presidency, he still has to endure a Democratic controlled Congress. In between nail salon appointments by Nancy Pelosi and IQ tests for Harry Reid, they just might get something done if Hillary were the one casting all tie breaker votes, and she speaks their language.
 
I think it also goes without saying that Bill Clinton, you know, Mr. Hillary, would jump at the chance to say love you-mean it to B. O. Then if elected under the McCain-Clinton ticket, he could still run around with his fly open and should it come back to haunt him, McCain could simply say, "Oh those Democrats. You know I love them" and call it day.
 
I'd give anything to see Michelle's appearance on "The View" after the big announcement. Stop the presses, let's get a follow-up to that New Yorker Magazine cover. I'll buy 10 issues. Let's watch those fist bumps.
 
John McCain could convince Hillary to jump ship and it would in no way interfere with her message of America first. What better way to guarantee he'll be seeing things her way than to be 2nd in command. And here's the kicker: Mr. McCain should announce he's only running for one term. Who do you think would be the next obvious choice for president? Get the pen. Where does she sign?
 
The best part of all this, and my favorite part (it gives me goose pimples thinking about it), would be how it would be handled by the liberal press:
 
1. Bill O'Reilly would have to sit in for Keith Olberman, because he'd be stuck negotiating for cab fare back to Bristol, Ct.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Obama. Keith's unavailable right now, he's flailing around on the floor speechless. We're trying to get him to bite the stick. Can he get back to you? Oh, o-k, we'll tell him that you're Barack Obama, and that you DID NOT approve this message. Good luck, sir. Good-bye."
 
2. Rachel Maddow, host/star/choregrapher/director/producer and executive producer of "The Rachel Maddow Show" on AirAmerica would be speechless. She just might need some mandatory time off from her pretense as a political analyst on MSNBC to actually learn to either have the tan#2 make-up extend past her neck or not to wear the low cut blouses that reveal it. (I hate political analysts who refuse to be impartial. Why can't we just call her what she is? A democratic strategist and pro-Obama supporter).
 
3. Hillary's a New Yorker now. I'll bet there will be some real Bronx cheers after this one.
 
4. Fox News Channel's ratings would soar as would "Morning Joe" on MSNBC. I'd pop some popcorn to watch Joe Scarborough have a field day with this one.
 
All's fair in love and war. We're at war and John McCain would love to be in the White House. So would Mr. and Mrs. Hillary.
If you can't join 'em, BEAT 'EM, I always say.
 
There's your winning ticket Mr. McCain. Now put on your Nike's and sprint into the White House.
 
JUST DO IT!

Future McCain Communications Director.

No Doubt About Hillary as VP

Posted by Ron Maestri on Sunday, July 13, 2008 2:56:36 PM
It's quite simple deduction. If Barack Obama wants to win The White House, he will add Hillary Clinton as his VP to the ticket. Since Mr. Obama has already proven he will say/do anything to get votes including selling his children, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind he'll choose Mrs. Clinton, even though he hates her for one simple reason: she upstages him. If I were advising him, I'd say, "Senator. Do you want to win or not? Then choose her. Put up with her. Get over it."
 
The whole Bill thing is just a diversion. Hillary upstages Barack and he knows it. His wife Michelle also hates her because she gets a lot more attention than her and her two kids, Malaria and Kasha..
 
You don't have to be a brain surgeon to see it.
 
Well, there it is.
