The Stealth Candidate

David Limbaugh pretty much sums up what I have been thinking for quite some time when he writes:

Democrats assume Republicans are raising Obama's many questionable relationships in a desperation effort to salvage the election. You might think this is splitting hairs, but I believe the reason is that these relationships scare the daylights out of us.

Conservatives were very much opposed to Bill Clinton for myriad reasons, but with decades in elective office in Arkansas, at least he wasn't a stealth candidate. Though rumors and mysteries abounded, Clinton was hardly a blank slate who emerged out of nowhere.

Obama is different. He burst onto the political scene and has risen with such alacrity that even many of his supporters don't have a clue what he's about or where he would take America.

It's no wonder the conspiracy types are whispering that he's the Manchurian candidate. It's not as if he's embracing his past; it's more as if he's concealing it, and for good reason. People have a right to know just how radical this man is because America's destiny is in the balance.

That's exactly it. For the longest time, we hardly knew anything about Senator Obama. And we are being told that we should simply choose Obama without really knowing his full history. Imagine what we would do if this was any other area of life.

For example, let's you were buying a used car. Would you feel like were on solid ground if you went home to your spouse and said, "Honey, I bought a terrific car. It's RED!!! And you have to hear the horn on it! The horn makes the most beautiful sound I have ever heard."

Your spouse then asks you some questions about it. "How many miles does it have on it?" "How many people have owned it before you bought it?" "Are you sure it wasn't a rental car?" "Darling, were you able to inspect it or see any of the documentation on it before you paid for it?"

I don't think you would tell your spouse, "Hey, the used car salesman said you would say exactly those things!!! He said that you must have a thing against RED CARS!!!"

No, of course not.

Well, as more things started coming out about Senator Obama, a lot of people were becoming increasingly disturbed about what we were learning.
