Baracck Obama: The Set Up

This whole financial crisis is a manufactured set up by the Dems to use to slander the Reps. See this video of Karl Rove on the Dems that voted against the bill.

This would explain Obama’s diffidence last week when McCain flew back to Washington to use his influence on Rep Senators to vote for it. So now they’re not meeting again until Thursday! Methinks the sky won’t fall, nothing much will happen at all except the Dems will harp on about how it’s all the fault of the Repubs. Despicable scum.

It’s all up to the ‘Cuda on Thurs now, if she isn’t in full attack mode over this, we’re in trouble. Of course there’s all of October to go, time to turn the tables, time for the Reps to get serious about winning this thing.

Update. John Hinderaker at Powerline agrees with me but says it better.

As of yesterday, the Democrats’ House whip, Jim Clyburn said that he hadn’t even begun “whipping” Democratic representatives, and wouldn’t do so unless and until he got orders from Nancy Pelosi. Today, Democratic Congressman Peter DeFazio told NPR that he never was “whipped” on the bill. So Pelosi evidently left Democrats to vote their consciences–which is to say, vote against the bill if they thought it was politically necessary–while counting on Republicans to put the bill over the top.

This is a classic Charlie Brown and the football maneuver. Pelosi gives a speech that frames the issue, falsely, as the result of bad Republican policies, then allows her own threatened representatives to do the popular thing while expecting Republicans to take one for the team by casting an unpopular vote. Which, of course, their Democratic opponents would use against them, thereby increasing the Democratic majority in the House.

If this was Pelosi’s plan it failed, in part, perhaps, because her over-the-top partisan diatribe tipped off Republicans as to what was afoot. If, as it now appears, it’s true that the Democrats made no serious effort to pass the bailout bill, it is just one more example of the failure of leadership we have seen since they took control of Congress.

Read it all.

   My god, these people have no shame, in fact, they take pride in their traitorous schemes. And Pelosi had the frigging nerve to call Republicans unpatriotic???? And I can blame Bush on this too. He has allowed subversion and sedition and treason to go unpunished throughout his eight years in office.
   Excellent find Ligneus. If only there was a way to defeat the media.
