ONLY ONE DAY after the presidential primaries ended, all three pre-eminent presidential candidates marched up to the podium at AIPAC, The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, America's pro-Israel Lobby. Senators Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain, in turn, all paid blatant obeisance to Israel. It was one of the most disgusting public displays of pandering to lobbyists yet. The brown-nosing was so dispicable, that Barack's nose was noticeably darker and the other two might well have been in black-face. So much for the lying lobby issue of these campaigns.
THE NEXT DAY, the Israeli Transportation Minister, Shaul Mofaz, stated the war with Iran was inevitable!
THE DAY AFTER THAT, oil prices shot up limit over ten dollars a barrel to record highs!
COINCIDENCE?!?!?! Or has one followed the other followed the other.
POST HOC ERGO PROPTER HOC!!!!!

Never Surrender?
John McCain seems to have forgotten that he was once a POW of the North Vietnam government. While the Politically Correct post-Vietnam angst of Americans is to glorify and nobilize the POW's of the Vietnam War, the fact of the matter is that in order to become a POW, one must, by necessity, SURRENDER! As painful as it must have been; as helpless as he must have been; HE SURRENDERED! Granted, he had little choice in the matter...yet....HE SURRENDERED!
But now, as the presumptive Republican candidate, he insists on using this slogan "Never Surrender" for the catastrophe in Iraq. Militarily, of course, we will win every battle. The surge, militarily, works. Other than that....
Unfortunately for the once maverick of the Republican Party, he continues to surrender on issues that should be near and dear to him for the sake of trying to become the oldest incoming president in history. He has surrendered on Guantanamo. He has surrendered on torture. He has surrendered the Geneva Conventions. One can only surmise that he is either a coward and he is betraying his heroic military and political service, or he is surrendering his mind.
He has shown signs of being Reaganesque, but not in a desirable way. With Senator and Republican Vice-Presidential wannabe Joe Lieberman at his side performing the Nancy Reagan role, he has time and again had to be reminded and corrected on many facts he had in error. Are these just senior moments, or worse, early stages of Alzheimer's. As we later discovered about Ronald Reagan, it was the latter!

SuperDelegates are NOT Pledged
Why is it that not one of the supposed mainstream political moronic media mentioning this? Instead, they keep calling for Hillary to quit! This smacks more of misogynistic bigotry then fair and balanced news reporting. Neither Senator Obama nor Senator Clinton has the necessary PLEDGED delegates to win the nomination. Instead, the votes are in the hands of these so-called Superdelegates. Basically, the Democratic Party's nominee will be determined by the insider political system, not the electorate. At the moment those powers-that-be are pushing for the "outsider" Obama rather than the "insider" Clinton. So much for democracy. Until these insiders vote at the convention, their votes are subject to the political whims and winds that blow from now until then. Suppose, for instance, that it turns out that it is discovered before the convention that Senator Clinton is carrying the illegitimate semi-African-American love-child of Senator Obama? What would those Superdelegates do? If only Senator Eagleton were alive today! He'd know!!! S..T HAPPENS!
