Not that it matters that this point, But G.O.P. is going there!

First off we have this:

From the Press Enterprise:

The latest newsletter by an Inland Republican women’s group depicts Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken, prompting outrage in political circles.

The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps — instead of dollar bills like other presidents. The statement is followed by an illustration of "Obama Bucks" — a phony $10 bill featuring Obama’s face on a donkey’s body, labeled "United States Food Stamps."

The GOP newsletter, which was sent to about 200 members and associates of the group by e-mail and regular mail last week, is drawing harsh criticism from members of the political group, elected leaders, party officials and others as racist.

Oh Brother…. Can you get any more stupid? I mean, the left is already stoking the fire of racism in this Election, why help them? You won’t believe what the person that did this is saying:

The group’s president, Diane Fedele, said she plans to send an apology letter to her members and to apologize at the club’s meeting next week. She said she simply wanted to deride a comment Obama made over the summer about how as an African-American he "doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

"It was strictly an attempt to point out the outrageousness of his statement. I really don’t want to go into it any further," Fedele said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "I absolutely apologize to anyone who was offended. That clearly wasn’t my attempt."

Fedele said she got the illustration in a number of chain e-mails and decided to reprint it for her members in the Trumpeter newsletter because she was offended that Obama would draw attention to his own race. She declined to say who sent her the e-mails with the illustration.

She said she doesn’t think in racist terms, pointing out she once supported Republican Alan Keyes, an African-American who previously ran for president.

"I didn’t see it the way that it’s being taken. I never connected," she said. "It was just food to me. It didn’t mean anything else."

She said she also wasn’t trying to make a statement linking Obama and food stamps, although her introductory text to the illustration connects the two: "Obama talks about all those presidents that got their names on bills. If elected, what bill would he be on????? Food Stamps, what else!"

I mean, seriously! She didn’t think that that would be offensive?!?!?! Whoa Boy!

If that was not bad enough, this is happening:

Quote:

In the race’s final stretch, much of the real sludge and slime that floats to the surface will be the work not of the campaigns but of under-the-radar operations run by state parties and the like.

Here, for instance, is a new mailer from the Republican Party of Virginia that has to be seen to be believed. It hits Dems — and by extension, Obama — for wanting to appease terrorists and rogue leaders.

This is why I think this is extremely stupid. The G.O.P. has continually since Obama was selected by the Democrats and even before; beat around the bush that Obama was basically a terrorist by Proxy, because he associated with a 1970’s domestic terrorist. Not only is this stupid, because the project board that Obama served on, with Ayers was ran by a Republican, who was friends with the Reagan Family. In the long run, this was all simply backfire on the G.O.P. and cause Independents to run in the other direction. Besides, did not the Bush Administration send people to Iran to try and appease them?

In the end, however, none of this is going to matter, because have you seen Barack Obama’s numbers? If not, here they are:  (Via FiveThirtyEight.com)

Plus in the polls, Obama leads by 10 Percent.

So, quite honesty? I just do not believe that all the fear-mongering, racism or anything else for that matter is really going to matter at this point. There is just no way in hell that McCain will be able to catch up. He did well last night. But it was, quite sadly; too little, too late.
