Less than two weeks before the election, almost all of the publicly available polls are pointing to his loss.
If McCain loses it is important to convey to conservatives the causes of his loss and the factors that contributed to it. This is particularly important because the Democrats and the Party’s public relations branch, the media, will spin the causes of Obama’s victory and seek to mask the very real concerns Americans had about him. In essence, Conservatives must about this election not only in terms of 2012, but also in terms of how it will be taught in public schools in 2028, the first presidential election for those born today.
Over the next few days, I will address certain causes and reflections as “Notes to a Future Conservative.”
Any discussion of a McCain loss has to begin by recognizing that the Left owns the public sphere. So Republicans will always have the wind in their faces. They will be made fun of on comedy shows, lampooned and attacked in the press. Democrats will always have the wind on their backs with following seas.
The Bias of the Media Was Stunning. The bias of the Old Media was known, but it was so overwhelming that it could not be combated. They did all that they could to get Obama elected. They ignored his mistakes or gaffes. They did not investigate him. So Obama’s associations with socialists, domestic terrorists, and potential corruption were not investigated effectively. Fox News tried but it was not sufficient. Although New Media had greater diversity of thought, Obama had strong support among them.
In sum, the Media were never more partisan in a modern U.S. presidential election. They did not vet Obama. They completely abandoned their obligation to voters. They should be seen for what almost all of them are: a branch of the Democratic Party.
Voter Fraud. Voter fraud was known in Ohio and Indiana. Michelle Malkin’s website did an excellent job covering voter fraud conducted by allies of the Democratic Party, particularly ACORN, which is being investigated by the FBI. Were Obama to win, that investigation will not go anywhere. There are reports that voter fraud is particularly significant in absentee voting. We have yet to see its impact in the election but we expect it to be significant.
