Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Well, Denizens – tomorrow is The Big One&#153 for the Donktards.&#160 Tomorrow begins the 2008 Demoscummic National Convention.

Or, to be rather blunt about it, B. HUSSEIN!!!&#160 Obambi’s coronation as Lord Messiah of the Jackasses.

Now, in the spirit of bipartisanship&#160 (*cough*), I’d like to offer the Democratics some of My Eternal Wisdom&#153.&#160 Advice that doesn’t&#160 involve a vibrator, a vise clamp and a sulfuric acid enema (grin):

Donks.&#160 You are but days away from deciding whom you will throw send up as your candidate for President of the United States.&#160 This is one of the most important decisions many of you will face in your lifetimes.

But consider where you stand as of this moment, as you try to win back a White House that has been your party’s for only 12 of the last 40 years.&#160 The presumptive nominee, B. Hussein Obama, has seen what was once a 20-percentage-point lead in the polls shrink to two or three points; in some polls, he even trails John McCain by as many as five points.

He has just chosen a running mate, Joe Biden of Delaware, who has as much baggage as Paris Hilton on a good day.&#160 He is a known plagiarizer, a racist, a hothead, a stream-of-consciousness rambling buffoon – and while he may be somewhat knowledgeable concerning foreign policy, it’s a knowledge with a leftist worldview in most cases, which is flawed to begin with.&#160 The one foreign policy area where he seems to have his head on straight is in an area you despise – he voted for the Iraq war, in direct opposition to your nominee.

In fact, Senator Biden even questions Senator Obama’s fitness for the presidency – and I quote:

“If the Democrats think we’re going to be able to nominate someone who can win without that person being able to table unimpeachable credentials on national security and foreign policy, I think we’re making a tragic mistake…” (Sen. Joe Biden, “The Diane Rehm Show,” 8/2/07)

And again:

Biden Attacked Obama For Voting Against Funding U.S. Troops In Iraq And Afghanistan, Accusing Him Of “Cutting Off Support That Will Save The Lives Of Thousands Of American Troops.” Biden: “And, look, Tim [Russert&#160 -ED.], if you tell me I’ve got to take away this protection for these kids in order to win the election, some things aren’t worth it. Some things are worth losing over. That would be worth losing over. Hundreds of lives are being saved and will be saved by us sending these vehicles over which we are funding with this supplemental legislation. And I want to ask any of my other colleagues, would they, in fact, vote to cut off the money for those troops to protect them? That’s the right question. This isn’t cutting off the war. This is cutting off support that will save the lives of thousands of American troops.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press,” 9/9/07)

As it stands now, Donk delegates, your candidate is fighting a seriously uphill battle.&#160 Absent a catastrophic gaffe by John McCain – which, admittedly, is&#160 possible – Obama is going to lose this election, and it’s not going to be that close, either.

And this is with a conservative base that positively hates&#160 McCain.&#160 Imagine where you folks would be with an energized&#160 GOP base constituency.&#160 Which, I might point out, is not yet completely out of the realm of possibility.

In this scribe’s view, the Democratic Party has one chance…and only one chance…to even get a sniff&#160 of the White House come January 2009 – and that is this:

Nominate Hillary.

The Duchess (as I like to call her) is as close to the White House as your party has been in 40 years (with the exception of Carter, and many of us wonder if he was ever all there), having lived there for eight.&#160 Despite her status as First Lady, she was more than somewhat involved in the day-to-day operations of the government, including foreign policy.&#160 She understands, at least in part, the principle of the 3 a.m. phone call – unlike Obama, who apparently thinks 3 a.m. is only for sending cutesy little text messages.

She knows how to campaign, and she has the best chance of defeating McCain in November, regardless of what you all may believe.&#160 She is less likely to wither under pressure, and doesn’t need a teleprompter to speak to the American people – qualities that Obama has already shown he lacks in abundance.

There’s still time.&#160 The delegates are already committed, but the superdelegates, who can do whatever they want, regardless of how their state voted, are not yet so.&#160 It should still be possible to bend the ears of more than a few of them who had previously committed to Obama and put the fear of Cthulu in them.

Get to them.&#160 Bend those ears.&#160 Talk some sense into them.&#160 Make them vote for Hillary.

Do so, and you still have a chance to win the November general election.&#160 Fail, and you may not see the White House again in your lifetimes.

The choice is yours.&#160 Choose wisely.

UPDATE:&#160 One more thing I might point out to you guys:

By pulling that little 3 a.m. text message stunt, Obama added insult to injury to Hillary and her supporters.

Not only was she not chosen as running mate – she wasn’t even considered, apparently in direct contrast to what it seems she was promised – that being to at least be considered for the post.&#160 She wasn’t even vetted.

And then for Obama to pull that 3 a.m. stunt…

It should go without saying that supporters of Hillary right now are furious.&#160 They’ve taken to calling themselves “PUMA”s – Party Unity, My Ass.

Many of Hillary’s supporters are women.&#160 And Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I’m just sayin’, that’s all.&#160 You guys have now been warned.

I don’t personally agree with the following, per se. Because you just DO NOT mess with that particular document.

What I DO AGREE with is the message that this update is conveying.

So here is an updated version of the PREAMBLE to the Constitution, as well as eleven Articles of Non-Rights:

‘We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.’

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone — not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve…get an education and go to work… Don’t expect everyone else to take care of you!)

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don’t care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!

(Lastly….)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country’s history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

Denizens, The Six Or Seven Of You Who Still Read Me&#153 may remember that some time back, This Fine Blog&#153 rated a whopping 31.4% on “The Blog & Website Cuss-O-Meter”, presented by the fine folks at OnePlusYou.

At the time, I opined that:

I’m not fucking trying fucking hard enough.

Well, it seems that business is picking up as we approach election season:
