Fellow Flacks, Hacks, and Devoted Dumpster Divers

ACORN has decided that you just don't have the intellectual capacity to vote your convictions. Therefore, it appears, that they are going to vote for you. Especially if you live in Nevada, Ohio, or Indiana. I find that interesting.

McCain, rightly so, has been trying to point out the connection between the Obamamama-mia and the Acorn/New Party crowd. He's getting the same response he did to the whole Ayers/Rezko thing.

So, let's review. ACORN is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the lefties and the Obamamama-mia team. ACORN thinks that voter fraud is a constitutional right if it elects their guy. TheObamamama-mia thinks that anybody who calls into question his associations is a racist-bigot-unenlightened-troglodyte without the capacity to understand that he was "only 8 years old" when Ayers was blowing thins up.

OK. I'll bite. Why doesn't it make a difference? Just because the guy hasn't blown something up in a few years, does that mean that his radical ideology has changed? Explain it to me, Barak.

It might not make any difference if it was just one thing. If it was just Ayers, or just Rezko, or just Rev. Wright, or just his New Party affiliation, or just his ACORN ties, or ... well, you get my point.

"You are known by the company you keep."

"Birds of a feather flock together."

And, why do the police use "Known Associates" to track down criminals?

These are just some of the things I am wondering about this afternoon.

Why Pfleger (et al) Matters

You are known by the company you keep and those with whom you associate. While I believe that it is important who is the President, it is equally if not more important whom that President surrounds him/herself with.

Frankly, The Rev. Wright, Fr. Pfleger, Bill Ayres and his bride Bernadette, are not exactly the people I would choose to have associated with the President. These people clearly hate America. There is nothing wrong with dissent, mind you, but hatred for the institutions of the country and our society is not dissent.

BHO's association with these folks demonstrates an astounding lack of good judgement. Judgement, in my view, is the key characteristic that one must have to be President. Good judgement - whether in considering temperament for the Courts, Cabinet Offices, or Foreign policy - makes all the difference in the success or failure of an administration.

That is why BHO's association/acquaintance with these persons is important and how it will effect his ability to execute the office of President.
