All glory to the hypnoLimbaugh

They oughta know: the Obama camp believes that people are sheep; upon being given marching orders will bleat obediently and go and do precisely as they are ordered to do. Hey, it works for ObamaMessiah, it’s obviously working for the hypnoLimbaugh.

Case in point is “Operation Chaos,” a tongue-in-cheek attempt to get Republicans and independents who listen to Rush Limbaugh on the radio to go and vote for Hillary. Would that OC had been a success earlier in the Democratic primary season. But that doesn’t stop those who consider voters to be mere automatons from complaining.

From the WaPo, here’s the whine from the Obama for Savior camp:

[Obama] aides charged yesterday that they would have had an even stronger showing were it not for meddling by an unlikely booster of Hillary Rodham Clinton: the popular conservative radio host and longtime Clinton family nemesis Rush Limbaugh.

The impact of Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” emerged as an intriguing point of debate, particularly in Indiana, where registered voters could participate in either party’s primary, and where Clinton won by a mere 14,000 votes. As he had before several recent primaries, Limbaugh encouraged listeners to vote for Clinton to “bloody up Obama politically” and prolong the Democratic fight.

The problem, if that’s what it is, is that some states hold open primaries in which you don’t need to be a registered member of the political party holding the primary. Now I personally think that’s dumb for starters. If you care about the nominee of a particular party, get off your lazy butt and register to vote in that party’s primary. But state parties do all sorts of dumb things, so an open primary is just one of those things presumably meant to attract folks into their tent.

Even though I’m a registered Republican, I was attracted into the Democrat tent on primary day here in Virginia; I’ve never been one to pass up temptation. Not because I’d heard about “Operation Chaos” or listened to Rush Limbaugh (I don’t). So, why go down among the primitives, armed only with my driver’s license? Simple: to vote for Hillary Clinton as the lesser of two evils in the open Virginia primary.

In more positive terms, I believe that Hillary Clinton would be a better president than Barack Obama. So I voted as an American, to do the best for my nation. As the WaPo article illustrates, that’s probably what motivated at least some of the crossover voters this past Tuesday.

As for attempting to sow chaos amongst the Democrats? They don’t need Rush Limbaugh or me or thee to do that. They’ve done that quite well all by themselves, thank you very much.
