The floor vote yesterday was a scripted event to try to make Mr. Obama [...]

The roll call vote tonight is shaping up to be what the DNC wanted all along — a show as fake and as rigged as a Fifties quiz show, where there will be no chance for an honest vote and no chance or an honest result and where the pre-scripted outcome …

In previous posts at this site I have pointed out the rather Nixonian aspects to some of Senator Obama’s decisions and actions. In recent press interviews, I have highlighted the ways in which the Republican Party has aimed for decades to create an “im…
