Neocons Clawing and Scraping To Hang On To Power
by Jeff Davis
The neocons have two plans to remain in power in Washington. Plan A involves getting a Republican elected who’s in their pocket and the pocket of the Israel lobby. Plan B involves getting a Democrat elected who’s in their pocket and the pocket of the Israel lobby.
The neocons already have their Democrat lined up in Hillary Clinton, whose lips are pressed firmly to AIPAC’s posterior. But there is still some difficulty, apparently, in getting all the GOP candidates properly corralled.
According to the Washington Times, “Most Americans disapprove of the Iraq war and of exporting democracy by force, yet neoconservative proponents of those policies advise the leading Republican presidential hopefuls. ‘There is an overwhelming presence of neoconservatives and absence of traditional conservatives that I don’t know what to make of,’ said Richard V. Allen, former Reagan White House national security adviser…. Advisers to Sen. John McCain of Arizona include [Jew] Robert Kagan, co-founder of the neoconservative Project for the New American Century (PNAC), while former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani’s policy team includes [Jew] Norman Podhoretz, a founder of the neoconservative movement, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney gets advice from [Jew] Dan Senor…”
McCain and Giuliani are the front runners with Mitt Romney rapidly sinking in the polls; most Americans would be hard-pressed even to name any of the other eight or ten candidates, except for Fred Thompson, whom people know -not as Fred Thompson- but as District Attorney Arthur Branch from the Law and Order television series.
The one ray of light for ordinary Americans and true conservatives in the 2008 primary is Ron Paul. He has done amazingly well in a variety of online Internet polls getting as high as 68 percent of the online vote. The mainstream media and mainstream pollsters however keep telling us that Ron Paul is only getting one or two percent of the vote. Any patriotic American who learns about Ron Paul can’t help but become excited about the presence of a real candidate and a man of honor in a sea of mediocrity. The mainstream media is doing it’s best to shut out Ron Paul from the American public. Hopefully the Internet can overcome the mainstream media’s Iron Curtain.
The Jewish media wants to ban Paul from all future debates because he doesn’t slavishly support Israel like Giuliani and the other Kosher candidates do. Most Republican candidates are simply NOT GETTING ANY PUBLICITY because the powers-that-be don’t want you to know about them. Most notably Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson. Aside from Ron Paul, Bill Richardson is the next best-qualified individual to be President, because he at least has DONE THINGS, conducted sensitive diplomatic missions for the State Department, run an entire U. S. government department, run an American state as governor, and (so far) avoided the kind of banana peels of bizarre and dysfunctional scandal which pervade American political life these days.
Many wealthy Republicans still support the war, because they are making lots of money off it. Those who are associated with the Dick Cheney/Halliburton cabal within the GOP have grown fat and super-wealthy off defense contracts and stock holdings.
To appeal to these fat cats, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani have been almost foaming at the mouth when they talk about keeping our troops in Iraq forever or until the Iraqi Army is ready, whichever comes last.
John McCain looked like he would be the Republican candidate and besides it was his “turn.” But his support of the Amnesty Bill appears to have torpedoed his chances. His funds have dried up. His campaign staff is quitting and no one wants to give money to another crazy Open Borders Republican.
Giuliani has hidden his liberal tendencies a bit better than McCain. So far, few –if any– in the mainstream media have mentioned the fact that he made New York a sanctuary city for illegal aliens. Giuliani hasn’t been able to get much over a third of the vote though. When the spotlight turns on abortion and gun-control, Republicans will find Giuliani has nothing in common with them.
The country club Republicans may be realizing that both McCain and Giuliani are hopeless. That might explain why they have Fred Thompson waiting in the wings. Americans will then be in the incredibly bizarre position of being asked to vote not just for an actor, as with Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sonny Bono, but for a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. Most Americans don’t know Fred Thompson from Harriet Miers, but most Americans DO know fictional character District Attorney Arthur Branch.
We’ll soon see if their stage-managed tricks work this election or if the people revolt and the Republican primary starts going for Ron Paul.
