Edwards: Running out of Rhetoric, Turning up the Twang

» by admin in: Uncategorized

The following is reprinted here with permission of the author,
James Richardson of the RNC eCampaign.

Now I’m a Southern guy, so I can appreciate a southern accent — but does that constitute electability? If so, I may have a future in presidential politics (so long as Senator Clinton doesn’t find my Kindergarten journal and coloring book). Am I the only one who thinks the ultimate sign of desperation on the campaign trail is the necessity to resort to one’s accent? At recent town hall events, namely in New Hampshire and Iowa, Democrat Presidential candidate John Edwards is attempting to garner supporters, donations, and caucus goers because he said “The last two Democratic presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, both talk like me.” It seems to me like this tactic is about as useful as a pogo-stick in quicksand. What ever happened to meaningful debates and substance

More below the fold.

Let’s review the playbook for the Democrat Presidential candidates (they’re all using the same one; I think they just give them away at MoveOn rallies) Step 1 — Blame Bush; Step 2 — Blame Bush; Step 3 — Shake things up and blame Cheney; Step 4 — “Accidentally” list endorsements who aren’t endorsing you (This one’s for you Senator Obama); Step 5 — Claim originality; Step 6 — Whip out that Southern twang (Yes, I’m talking to you too, Senator Clinton).

Oh, and John Edwards may ”sound” like Presidents Clinton and Carter, but I wonder if they get $300 haircuts too?

If Senator Edwards continues on this track I expect to see his next campaign video featuring tunes from “Gone with the Wind.”

Communist China Says Merry Christmas, but Capitalist Google Won’t

Warner Todd Huston:

Well, here is a sad commentary on the fellow travelers over at Internet mega-corp, Google. Their Christmas graphic eschews that evil “Ch_ _ stmas” word giving us a bow and candy cane, instead. Apparently, Google doesn’t want to cause any outrage by using the words “Merry Christmas.” (more info and screenprints, here)

Bring Him Home, Santa (Video and Lyrics)

» by admin in: Uncategorized

This video was created by (YouTube) JimmyJohns009 for Christmas this year, and was sent to me by my friend, Sandie, in Melbourne. Scroll down for the lyrics. Tear alert.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5leMiif4pM

Dear Santa, I need to change my Christmas list
There’s one big thing I missed
You see, my Daddy’s working
far away from here.

And you know, Santa,
I asked for a Barbie doll,
And brand new soccer ball,
But you know, I’d trade it all
For just one gift this year.

(Chorus)

Bring him home, Santa.
Bring him home to Mom and me.
Let us wake up Christmas morning
And find him standing by our tree.

You can pick him up on your way,
He could ride there in your sleigh
Don’t make him spend Christmas all alone,
Bring him home.

And Santa, here’s a picture that I drew
Of him in his dress blues.
Mamma says our country
needs him over there.

And you know, Santa,
This whole year I have been good
I was hoping that you would
Do all you could
To answer her prayer.

(Chorus)

Bring him home, Santa.
Bring him home to Mom and me.
Let us wake up Christmas morning
And find him standing by our tree.

You can pick him up on your way,
He could ride there in your sleigh
Don’t make him spend Christmas all alone,
Bring him home. (Repeats)
