Can you remember the 80s? I sure can. Getting called a commie-pinko at an anti-nuke rally. John Birchers peeling off my John Anderson bumper sticker. "Nuke Iran." Soviet invasion movies like "Red Dawn." SALT 1, SALT 2, high blood pressure. The very real threat of nuclear war. Godless communists looking to take over everywhere - Nicaragua, Grenada, El Salvador, Afghanistan, Angola, South Africa. Well it's back and this time the enemy isn't the Soviet Union, it's the Democratic party and their Marxist leader Barack Obama.
The GOP is desperately trying to find some kind of way to scare the voters. When you have a terrible candidate, no ideas, and no solutions all you've got is boogie-boogie-boogie. But the 21st century style fear mongering ain't doing it. They've tried "Obama is a Muslim" but McCain's "No Ma'am" moment signaled the end of that line of attack. Then they went a little late 60's/early 70's style with William Ayers and zippo, nadda, zilch.
Well now it's time to bring out the big guns. Let's scare the piss out of the electorate by reaching deep into their psyche. Hey boomers, remember "Duck and cover?" Hey Gen-x, remember "War Games?" You're like Matthew Broderick and you've only got 5 days to stop Barack Obama from launching a nuclear war. Yo, Middle America - all that hard earned money's going to go to the soon to be established Socialist Republic. You'll be waiting in 4 hour lines just to get your hands on some scratchy toilet paper. Old timers, remember the Cuban Missile crisis and the Bay of Pigs? Remember what happened when a young, inexperienced president brought us to the brink of nuclear war. Remember!?
Thinking about voting for Barack Obama? Well Michele Bachmann, Tom Delay, and Liddy Dole have a message for you - Barack Obama is gonna invade your hometown like a giant red KGB dragon/bear monster thingie. Obama will shutter your churches, take your money, and give your job to the guy who works behind the counter at 7-11. A vote for Barack is a vote for Fidel Castro, the cultural revolution, Lee Harvey Oswald, Che Guevara, and bad state run television.
BE AFRAID! BE COLD WAR AFRAID!
