A Wall Street Journal opinion piece published Wednesday titled Blaming the Voters takes the President, Joe Biden, and John Kerry to task for their cunning strategy of implying voters are stupid in order to motivate the unclean masses to get out and vote.

Kerry in particular complained that voters aren't "paying attention" and that some voters are pulling that fateful lever based on campaign slogans rather than facts and figures......like when voters cast their lot with Obama for President, knowing virtually nothing about him, and relying on campaign slogans promising "change we can believe in" and "hope" rather than facts about Obama's voting record - as thin as it was - and his many radical left affiliations.

Well, oddly enough, we couldn't agree more.  It's hilarious that Kerry complains about the same voter ignorance that got Obama elected into office.  I guess when voter ignorance and apathy works for you, then it's great, and when it winds up working agin' you, it's awful.

Well, the problem for Obama & Co is that a critical mass of voters are now paying attention, and so Obama needs the snoozing useful idiots out there to get to the polling places so he can counter a truly "grass-roots" (hate that term - overused) movement to kick him and his fellow "progressives" out of office.

While we're at it......what is a "progressive" anyway?  Well, as it turns out "progressive" can mean just about anything.  However, in current day, a "progressive" is most often associated with left wing liberalism, which is in turn code-speak for Socialism.  As a political movement, progressives are a minority political sub-culture.  Yet somehow, Obama has convinced himself that progressives hold a plurality in America - they do not.

So, Obama is cajoling his progressive base to turn out at the polls and preserve a Presidential legacy of "the most successful administration in a generation in moving progressive agendas forward".  As the Journal editorial correctly points out, the only problem for Obama is that the majority of the people in the United States weren't, and aren't, interested in the progressive agenda.  They were, are, and will continue to be interested in the soundness of our economy, and the ability to earn a decent living.  In short:  it's the economy, stupid, and it always was.  Not wanting to let a good crisis go to waste, Obama took the country on a progressive detour.  While a small minority cheered, the majority were appalled.

Obama continues to disparage the entire Tea Party movement, claiming it is controlled by "powerful special interest lobbies" and implying it's rife with bigotry.  Funny thing is, one third of the country is sympathetic to the Tea Party ideals (myself included).  So when you knock and mock what fully 1/3rd of the country is thinking while you are out there shopping for votes.....not a smart move.  Not smart at all.   As for bigotry - HA!  The only bigotry we are currently seeing is flowing like a raging river out of the left.  Not only is Obama alienating the Tea Party types, his apathy comments have succeeded also in pissing off his progressive base .  This leads us to wonder out loud - is there any political faction or group Obama hasn't taken a condescending shit on yet?

I imagine a conversation between Obama and a Tea Party supporter going sorta this way:

Obama:  Voter, what is that button on your lapel?
Voter:  A Tea Party symbol, sir.
Obama:  Where'd you get it?
Voter:  I don't remember, sir.
Obama:  What is that you've got written on your baseball cap?
Voter:  "Born to Vote", sir.
Obama:  You write "Born to Vote" on your cap and you wear a Tea Party button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Voter:  No, sir.
Obama:  You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Voter:  Yes, sir.
Obama:  Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before Janet Napolitano.
Voter:  I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of government, sir.
Obama:  The what?
Voter:  The duality of government. The Clintonian thing, sir.
Obama:  Whose side are you on, son?
Voter:  Our side, sir.
Obama:   Don't you love your country?
Voter:  Yes, sir.
Obama:  Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the progressive team and come on in for the big win?
Voter:   Yes, sir.
Obama:  Son, all I've ever asked of the little people is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Republicans, because inside every RINO there is a Democrat trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this Tea Party craze blows over.
Voter:  Aye-aye, sir.

(for those of you who don't recognize that, it's a modified quote from the movie Full Metal Jacket between Pvt. Joker and a Colonel).

I also pause to ask this question:  Why is it a bad thing for the Tea Party to be controlled by "special interest lobbies", while it's perfectly OK for the Democratic Party to be controlled by a few key billionaires with "special interest" in driving this country into the bosom of Socialism?  How about the special interest lobbyists Obama hired?  Who are these Tea Party power brokers anyway?  I'd like to send them all a thank you note.

Getting back to Kerry and The Stupid Voter...we couldn't agree more (yes, I see the irony).  Too many voters in this country are stupid, and that is precisely why we find ourselves in the mess we're in right now.  Obama could never have made it into the White House if voters had only seen what I saw.  I don't make claim to an Einstein grade intellect, so how is it if I saw through the phoney baloney during the Obama campaign, that so many others did not?

To the unclean ignorant registered voters out there, I say this:  right the wrong.  Cast the devils out in November, and then an arrogant, condescending, clueless, inept, incompetent President thereafter.   

You can do it.  I know you can!
