Quick, before I forget this: Obama should be saddled with Reid and Pelosi at least as much as he wants to saddle McCain with Bush. Two long years ago, they got their majorities, and look where we are.
Well, I looked that up and found my idea is old. Repubs were about to use
“Pelosi-Reid-Obama” in the all-in-the-same-breath way that Democrats now use “Bush-McCain” — to make the parties’ popular candidates indistinguishable from their less beloved incumbents.
Did they? Did McCain? Well, here’s McCain today in Miami, among other things defending Joe the Plumber:
Let me give you the state of the race today. We have 18 days to go. We’re 6 points down. The national media has written us off. Senator Obama is measuring the drapes, and planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending, take away your right to vote by secret ballot in labor elections, and concede defeat in Iraq. But they forgot to let you decide. My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them.
And here’s a chilling reminder of what’s ahead if Obama wins:
If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 and Democrats will consolidate their Congressional majorities, probably with a filibuster-proof Senate or very close to it. Without the ability to filibuster, the Senate would become like the House, able to pass whatever the majority wants.

Though we doubt most Americans realize it, this would be one of the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history. Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven’t since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on.
In brief, this is coming:
That union card check means no more secret ballot in union elections and mandatory unionization that works this way:
The bill also imposes a compulsory arbitration regime that results in an automatic two-year union “contract” after 130 days of failed negotiation. The point is to force businesses to recognize a union whether the workers support it or not. This would be the biggest pro-union shift in the balance of labor-management power since the Wagner Act of 1935.
Not bad for a community organizer.

May the American people wake up before it is too late to realize that fundamental change the Obama way is not what is needed. Called for is the need to protect the fundamentals of our present society which has enabled this nation to prosper and which respects the rights and freedoms of its people. The Obama-Pelosi-Reid alignment is in keeping with a horror show. Let’s hope Republican talk morphs into action and that Republicans don’t lose their nerve when Democrats strike out to discredit their message, as they surely will.
