Just Say Anything: Obama’s talking points

One of the lead stories listed on my Google homepage today was about Obama’s current tour of Middle America, and as the title of the article by Leonard Doyle makes clear, these folks aren’t sure who Obama is:

Obama courts Middle America in attempt to counter ‘antiChrist’ image

If Obama thinks he has problems with us Just Say No Deal Pumas, he’s got much bigger problems with the very same Americans that he put down during the primaries, you know, those bitter, gun toting, bible clinging folks:

The Obama team’s strategy of picking up conservative, evangelical Christian voters has run into unexpectedly strong headwinds. This is especially true among the poor, white and working-class voters of Scots-Irish descent who live in the Appalachian mountain region that stretches across parts of seven states.

Barack Obama may wonder why many people aren’t falling in line behind him, but the truth is, he faces major public relation problems. Many people just don’t trust him to tell the truth about himself. Obama remains a mystery to millions of ordinary Americans. Who is he? What does he believe in? Is he a Christian? And if so, after 20 years in the church run by Jeremiah Wright, what kind of Christian is he? Doyle writes:

Along with Internet claims that he is a Muslim, some evangelical Christians have put it about that Obama may be the Antichrist. Glenda Kinzer, 41, from rural Ohio, believes the end of the world is about to occur. “A lot of people are talking about how Obama fits the description” of the Antichrist. “I always thought he will be from the Middle East.”

Obama is now advertising his Christianity by pushing Bush’s faith-based initiatives. Not long ago, liberal Democrats worried about Bush using religion, and now, Obama, the shape-shifter extraordinaire is hawking the same old wares (this is a new kind of politician?). Not only are these programs designed to replace social programs (and social programs have long been the mission of the Democratic party), even more troubling is that Obama’s plan “blurs the nation’s constitutional separation of church and state”:

Earlier in the week, he unexpectedly took a page from George W. Bush’s political playbook by embracing his controversial “faith-based initiatives.” He told voters in the evangelical heartland of Ohio that as president he would fund religious groups dealing with America’s social problems provided they did not discriminate in who they offer help.

He praises Ronald Reagan and copies George Bush. Yet Obama remains an unknown. Many of us will never vote for him because he is inexperienced, unproven and displays poor judgement. And Obama’s talking points consist of whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear. What are Obama’s positions? As they say about the weather, wait five minutes and they’ll change. Just last week Obama appeared to throw MoveOn under the bus. MoveOn is one of his major contributors, but for the sake of appearances, they went quietly under the bus. Obama’s followers embrace his political position of never allowing values to come in the way of winning:

In the run-up to the July 4th national holiday, Obama has been on a “values” tour of middle America as he seeks to counter Republican attempts to label him as too liberal.

That’s the thing: Obama will say and do anything for the sake of appearances. And the good folks of Middle America are wise to question who he is and to wonder about his motives.

  • Freddy Freeloader

    I am beginning to think that Obama is a lame Hollywood remake of Bulworth, but only this time it is for real.

  • jwrjr

    This sums it up perfectly: “Obama will say and do anything for the sake of appearances.”

  • typical.white.person

    Evil is as evil does.

    George Bush is evil.

    Obama is doing what George Bush did, only to further extremes.

    Got it?

  • Judy

    I consider myself middle America from Scots Irish descent, I live in the midwest and I certainly will not buy what Obama is selling.

    His credibility is broken into a million pieces, and the idiots at the DNC still support this guy.

    Never Obama – everyone thinks McCain has no strategy and he is making a mistake not attacking Obama – I disagree – I think it is a great strategy – just let Obama do it to himself – no one could do it better.

    No strategy? I am not so sure about that!

  • roseeriter

    Obama has flipped flopped so many times, I’m beginning to think he is a republican plant out to divide or destroy the democratic party (which has happened) and ..well it’s all so Rovian and bizarre..at any rate he’s two-faced and phony.

  • John

    Obama is more like “Just Say Nothing.” Just make sure you sound great while you proceed to say- Nothing.

    I’m having a ball listening to Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz and NorMAN GoldMAN go on and on about McCain’s credit card bills and tax delinquency- you know, all those “non-issues” they wish people would stop talking about so we can focus on matters of importance to the voters.

    You first, idiots.

  • scorbs

    I doubt his appeal to evangelicals could remotely work. Tony Perkins and James Dobson do not like Obama, and so goes them, so goes the evangelical vote.

    But I’m sure the DNC is very impressed with Obama’s many claims and promises.

  • mountainlion

    aol is running a poll about whether obama would do or say anthing to advance his electability and 72 % agreed that he would….. personally, i think it should be higher than that. however, that means that almost 3/4 of people think obama is ruthless. no shit !

  • cofe

    Barack Obama sat on a wall.
    Barack Obama had a great fall.
    All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
    Couldn’t put Barack together again.

  • Faustina

    “Obama will say and do anything for the sake of appearances.”

    Another example of that-yesterday he gave a speech in Colorado Springs, home of at least 3 military installations, plus the Air Force Academy.

    One local newspaper described it as walking into the “Lions Den”. If he had been giving a speech to the general public, that would probably be an apt description, but he gave his speech to 450 invited guests.

    His speech described his plans to expand public service programs in his administration. Public service is fine, but Chicago or LA or NYC or Washington DC or a college campus would seem a more appropriate venue for those remarks.

    I guess when you are a former drug user with no military service and a retinue of anti-social associates and friends, you have to project yourself as interested in the common good in some way especially to people who keep a daily count of dead soldiers in Iraq.

  • vinnie

    I read the headline of an article on Yahoo news:
    Obama: “patriotism means faith in one another as Americans”

    What a load of sh*t! I guess he didn’t have faith when those two muslim women were removed from cameras view at his rally. Since we’re on the topic of patriotism barry, why is it that you hate our flag and only wear the pin on your lapel when votes are involved? Why is it that you stood there like a friggin’ idiot with your hands in front of you while others on that stage had their hands across their hearts during our national anthem? Spare us the speech.

  • nickoury

    This is a terrible joke on America. The DNC does not care in the least about this country, win or lose the GE, they only want to enrich their own pockets.

    In the end they will only lose on both counts.

  • wodiej

    PLEASE-even trying to win these groups over is an insult to them. Does he think because of where they live, their income, and/or no college degree makes them stupid?? Of course not! Most of them have more common sense then these know it all college punks. And Christians, he has no idea how die hard they are about their faith. If they think someone’s faith is even slightly not real and sincere-can we all say Rev. Wright-they won’t give him the time of day. The news may say they are. They may put out some polls to say Obama is winning them over but it will all be lies. First of all his middle name alone would turn them off seeing as how much they can’t stand the Middle East. Then there is Rev. Wright who likes to say all his crazy shit in a house of God no less. He’s associated with a domestic terrorist. Give me a break. Anyone who tries to say different is full of it.

  • SEC

    I wonder why people aren’t celebrating the fact that Obama is going to states that have voted Republican for years and years. I think that his time spent in these places are actually helping to build the Democratic party.

  • wodiej

    no shit-I second that.

  • SEC

    As a minister, it is interesting to note that much of what Obama is doing actually is working. Jim Wallis offered up a great defense of Obama. My guess is that a higher percentage of evangelicals will vote for a Democrat this year than any time since Jimmy Carter, I believe.

  • janicen

    I think I’ve finally figured out the Obama strategy. He takes so many opposing postitions and presents himself in such myriad ways that voters cannot nail down a specific policy point or reason not to vote for him. Then, the only reason not to vote for him is…drum roll please…you must be a racist!!!!

  • Pew

    Since this is the Obama Talking Point Site You Gotta Hear this.Excellent Video

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q50wYU0RgLk&feature=email

  • SEC

    It’s not an insult to evangelicals. They may disagree with him, but many of them respect the fact that the Democrats are the ones this year who are speaking the language of faith. McCain just doesn’t excite many of them at all. I think you’re going to be surprised come Election Day.

  • HARP

    Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    Diagnostic Criteria
    A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

    1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
    2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
    3. believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
    4. requires excessive admiration

    7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
    8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
    9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

  • Billy Beane

    You should then also be celebrating the fact that McCain has been going into traditional democratic strongholds and think that his time spent in these places is actually helping build the Republican party.

  • Jack

    Obama is not campaigning for a party or a movement. He is campaigning for himself. And his posse have taken over the DNC, moved it to Chicago.

    You can bet when the private funding turns out to be less than expected, the Obama folks will take every damn dollar dedicated to other races and give it to themselves. Hell, they’ll will do it even if the private fundraising goes well.

  • SEC

    Let’s see, a sense of entitlement, check. Preoccupied with idealistic fantasies, check. Arrogant attitudes, check.

    Wow. I never thought of many of the posters on this site as having NPD, but thanks for bringing that to our attention!

    /snark, because we all need a laugh sometimes…

  • AJSHOPE

    Well said, well said.

  • beebop

    If you think that the future of the Democratic party is to throw over the traditional base of Democratic voters and pander to the evangelicals, and promise a broader participation of faith based initiatives … then you and I have a real difference about what is Democratic and what is Republican ….

  • SEC

    I would, but I tend not to celebrate much that comes out of the Republican party. Part of running for president includes party-building, and I think Obama is doing well at this so far.

  • http://deleted imustprotest

    I think the DNC see Oblahma as another Bill Cinton, but better because they think they can manipulate him. Bill Clinton had a similar strategy, going to the right of GHWB on some issues. And of course, Bill Clinton competed and won Southern states that had been lost to Reagan Democrats. The most obvious difference, at least to those of us here, Barak Obama is no Bill Clinton. And of course, Bill Clinton was from the South.

  • beebop

    He’s the James Frey of Democratic politics with a fictional “biography” to boot.

  • SEC

    I think that it’s about welcoming Evangelicals into the Democratic fold. Many are former Religious Right members who have become disenchanted with much of what the Republican party stands for. It’s about expanding the party, not neglecting the base.

    As far as the faith-based initiatives, I’ve been wondering just how many community organizations are out there that aren’t faith-based. Social justice is part of the Christian’s faith (or it should be, in my opinion), and it is a hallmark of the Democratic party. There’s room under the Democratic umbrella for those of an evangelical faith and those who are not.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    YUPPERS!!!!!

  • AJSHOPE

    If that’s the case, the unfortunately there are a lot of gullible evangelicals. I happen to be one and I am not tricked by this idiot at all.

  • beebop

    He has Dobson’s endorsement. Enuff said.

  • SEC

    That’s funny, especially when people claimed that by his campaign giving money to help other down-ticket campaigns was “buying their vote.” I wonder which it is: that he helps them a little too much or that he doesn’t help them at all.

  • beebop

    And Bill Clinton had executive experience and didn’t need to lie about Selma, his father, his great uncle or any other bona fide. Bill doesn’t need a telepromptr either. Bill can read the Mickey D’s menu outloud without rehearsal and make it sound poetic.

  • SEC

    Dobson has lost a lot of credibility, to be honest with you. Focus on the Family doesn’t have the political sway that they have had in the past. And I say this as someone who has read many of his books and has previously been a fan of his.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    Under the Democratic Umbrella…fine, but giving our tax dollars to them…nope. Barky just wants to make sure his pals at Trinity Church get a cut of the taxpayers pie.

  • SEC

    You happen to be a gullible evangelical? Ha.

    In all seriousness, I don’t want to minimize anyone’s choice on who they vote for. It’s their choice, and I believe people do it giving it thought. I hold the American electorate in a high regard, I guess.

  • candymarl

    It’s not where Obama goes that bothers me. I lived in the Midwest and Colorado Springs.

    What bothers me is this: if Obama promised money to faith based organizations that affects the separation between church and state. Once that wall is gone who decides which religion or belief system is the right one? What happens to those with no religious belief system at all?

    Those are some of the reasons the Founding Fathers created the wall in the first place.

    I’m getting pretty tired of hearing that Obama should be praised no matter how Right-Wing his views and proposals are. If he can depend on the Right to put him in office what happens to the liberals and progressives?

    Why is he offering these people tax-payer money? If they’re not required to pay taxes why should they get the money the rest of us do pay? It sounds like he’s trying to buy their votes.
    Even worse, what happens if he doesn’t keep his word?

  • beebop

    But if BOBO had gotten it, you’d be singing about it, wouldn’t you? You have no credibility here. Democrats don’t pander to the religious right, to gun owners, to faith based groups. He has deserted the party platforms in search of Republican voters. That’s the issue. And he isn’t going to pick up enough to over come the base he lost when he insulted them in his condescending comments in SFO. He’s a fop.

  • AJSHOPE

    Not to mention that I’m a 25 year old college graduate with a degree in computer science and a professional video engineer. You may have seen my company’s work, we did the Super Bowl, World Series, and we’re doing the Baseball All-Star Game.

    So let’s see, I’m young, educated, a professional and I’m not following Barack Hussein Obama. He better hope that I’m the only one of my kind.

  • NY still loves Hillary

    That’s rich! He’s done more to destroy the Democratic party than…well, anyone except maybe Howard Dean.

  • SEC

    They’re not giving tax dollars to churches so that they can get richer or so that they can win more souls for Christ, but to do those things that they’re honestly good at. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a non-religious soup kitchen. Many of the best programs that help the poorest of Americans happen to be religiously based.

    And I don’t think that you’re going to see Trinity get rich off of a faith-based initiative. My guess is that they’re not even going to apply for a grant, because of the politics involved.

  • beebop

    Even worse, what happens if he doesn’t keep his word?

    He has pretty much demonstrated that he doesn’t really care what anyone thinks. Keeping his word isn’t a priority of his.

  • memyself&i

    No one here is running for elected office so it doesn’t matter if we are NPD. It does matter if Obama is NPD.

  • samb

    I wondered if you would ever mention the anti-christ word, because I have had non-religious type people ask me if he was the anti-christ , I went on YouTube and found a whole area dedicated to this subject .I thought that it was a joke,but there are a lot of people who I guess don’t , Obama has a lot of explaining to to to religious people.he come across a mysterious man who has a lot baggage.

  • John

    Uhhh…Colorado has been a battleground state for twenty years. Clinton carried it twice. Gore and Kerry campaigned there. It has a Democratic Senator and Governor.

    Maybe that explains why “no one is celebrating the fact that Obama ig going to states that have voted Republican for years for years” is because it isn’t so.

    Sometimes even Obama has to actually do something different before he’s praised for doing something different.

  • Bella

    Too funny.

    Can’t you just picture MEchelle beating the crap out of Barry every night? I mean, she is built like a linebacker so I bet she could give him a Friday night smackdown. All this crap he peddles go so against her belief that America is a mean country and how she was never proud of this country until her stickman became the frontrunner puppet for the DNC.

    I bet she hears his buzzwords and cringes he is pandering to why’d he.

  • SEC

    I look at some of the special elections that have occurred lately, such as a Democrat getting elected for a House seat in Mississippi, with, guess who, Obama campaigning for him. I look at the numbers of people who have registered as Democrats during the primary campaign and I have to believe that this is a good thing. I also believe that the vast majority of people who were disappointed that Senator Clinton did not win will end up voting for Obama. A few more seats in the Senate and we’ll be filibuster-proof. Thanks to Obama, it just might happen.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    Suuuuuure. Think of all the Rev. Wright commercials lined up in the que over at GOP headquarters. Not a chance in hell.

  • angie

    Excuse me — there is more then one religion besides Christianity that is concerned with “social justice.” Your attitude that somehow the Christian religion is the one the US government should look to re: its “social justice” policy is exactly the reason there should be NO MIXING OF RELIGION & POLITICS. Our founding fathers knew that, why don’t you?

  • tampagurl

    OK, I just got home, I was only gone a few hours. Read what is on my internet home page.

    Democrat Barack Obama opened the door Thursday to altering his plan to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq in 16 months based on what he hears from military commanders during his upcoming trip there.

    Responding on Thursday, Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant said, “There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience. Obamas Iraq problem undermines the central premise of his candidacy and shows him to be a typical politician.

  • NY still loves Hillary

    No, he dangled the carrot of giving them $$, then used the stick of threatening to put up a challenger (Obama supporter) if they were bold enough not to clamor into line immediately. And just like everyone else, they’re now finding themselves under that good ‘ol bus…

  • K. Wynne

    Thought everyone would enjoy this:

    AN OBAMA SUPPORTER EXPLAINS IT ALL TO US.

    MR: So tell me, what has Senator Obama ever accomplished that qualifies him to be President of the United States?

    OS: There you go again playing the old politics of the past.

    MR: So accomplishment is the old politics of the past?

    OS: Yes.

    MR: So the new politics, the one Senator Obama and you support and represent is that you don’t have to actually have done anything to be President.

    OS: Senator Obama represents hope.

    MR: Hope for what?

    OS: Hope.

    MR: Hope for hope?

    OS: Yes.

    MR: I see.

    OS: And Senator Obama represents change.

    MR: What kind of change? from what to what?

    OS: Just change.

    MR: But it has to be change from something to something. That’s what change is.

    OS: Senator Obama stands for a new change in Washington and a new change in politics, ejecting the old politics of the past.

    MR: The old politics where you had to actually accomplish something

    OS: Yes. And hope and change.

    MR: But you cant say what kind of hope and change

    OS: Not yet.

    MR: Why not?

    OS: He hasn’t told us yet.

    MR: Do you expect him to?

    OS: I don’t know.

    MR: What kind of change are we talking about?

    OS: A new beginning.

    MR: Wouldn’t anyone represent a new beginning after 8 years of Bush?

    OS: Not this kind of beginning.

    MR: And what kind of beginning is that?

    OS: A beginning of hope and change.

    MR: If Senator Obama represents change from the old politics why did he use an old Washington insider to vet his vice presidential candidates and then have to dump him because he was involved in shady loans deals?

    OS: You’re using that as a distraction.

    MR: What’s it distracting from?

    OS: Senator Obama’s message.

    MR: And what message is that?

    OS: Hope and change.

    MR: Senator Obama broke his pledge to finance his campaign with public money, something he promised during the primary. He went back on his word.

    OS: Sometimes you have to.

    MR:.Why?

    OS: To fight against the old politics of the past so he can do what the country needs.

    MR: And what’s that?

    OS: Bring hope and change.

    MR: Hope and change for what?

    OS: For what matters.

    MR: What matters?

    OS: Hope and change
    .
    MR: Okay, so what would be the single biggest change Senator Obama would accomplish if he were elected?

    OS: He’s African American.

    MR: That’s not an accomplishment that’s genetics.

    OS: You’re being divisive. That would be a big change.

    MR: But when the country elects the first black President
    shouldn’t it be because he or she is the best candidate
    and the fact that they are black be totally besides the
    point?

    OS: No. It’s about hope and change.

    MR: Is it hope for change or hope and change

    OS: Either one. It’s up to you. It’s all good.

    MR: So it doesn’t matter.

    OS: No. And he can unify people and bring them together. Help us over come the divisions that divide us.

    MR: Then why is the Democratic Party the most divided in its history with almost half the party against him and
    most refusing to vote for him?

    OS: Uneducated racist Clinton voters.

    MR: What flavor Kool-Aid is that?

    OS: Cherry

    Thats not true, by giving money to down ticket democrats Obama forces down ticket rebubs to have to spend more money on their own campaigns, thus less for them to in turn help McCain. So McCain has to spend more of his own resources on states that repubs usually easily win.

  • beebop

    Social justice is part of the Christian’s faith (or it should be, in my opinion)

    See. There’s the thing. Mankind has walked this sweet earth and dragged interpretations of faith behind him since the beginning of how we mark time (BC or BCE). It is so ravaged by “opinion” that we kill each other for things like hair cuts and beards. I personally don’t think that the government has ANY BUSINESS WHATSOEVER in using tax dollars to further faith based initiatives unless it provides the opportunity to those of us who want to pull our money out to be heard. I am not anti-faith. I believe that people of faith should do their own fund raising and not stand with their hands out at the door to the White House. ESPECIALLY at the door to the White House. But, hey — that’s just me.

  • http://theheyjudeblog.blogspot.com Jude

    Just like everything else about Barry, it ‘is’ whatever is helpful to him at the moment. When he was flush with cash, giving down ticket was in his interest. If money dries up, or if he decides it’s in his interest to choke the party or the person to get his own way, then he’ll do that.

    Pretty simple analysis, given his record.

  • beebop

    You need to get out more. There are plenty of non faith soup kitchens — most of them run by liberal restaurant owners who donate their kitches, staff and dollars and defy local ordaninces. I am familiar with one in Dallas that is so well done that it could be a model for every other city. And they don’t ask you to offer up your soul. Just your hunger.

  • http://deleted imustprotest

    I’ve looked at the polls, McCain is gaining evangelical support. Also, Jimmy Carter was a Governor of a Southern State, like Bill Clinton. You can’t compare Barak Obama to either of them.

  • Hope Floats

    It would be great if Obama actually gave a shit about these rural Americans. He made his comments at a closed door fundraiser to a bunch of San Fran lefties with fat wallets. He never spoke to these “bitter” Americans about their hardships, and he has no plans for helping them. He never helped his own community in Chicago. But Obama’s comments in April were a callous dismissal or an uninformed assessment of Americans’ real concerns. Once again the Democrats are the party of domestic looting instead of fighting for the middle class.

    FARGO, N.D. – Senator Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot sustain a long-term military presence in Iraq, but added that he would be open to “refine my policies” about a timeline for withdrawing troops after meeting with American military commanders during a trip to Iraq later this month.

    And they know it. He told them they’re stoopid. Now they’re going to show HIM who’s stoooopid! So thar!

    These comments by SEC are just part of the propaganda machine that is the Obama camp.

    Me too!!

  • Babe

    Obama, is a lying, pandering,jerk. There is no way in hell I would support him. “A new kind of politics” He is a piece of shit.

  • tampagurl

    So where are the Obamabots now???? Come on defend him.

  • beebop

    You could have set your watch by this. He is going to drop like a stone. He is the worst candidate that party has ever fielded. He makes Kerry look like Mr. Consistencey.

  • Jack

    I think that it’s about welcoming Evangelicals into the Democratic fold.

    It’s mostly about hinting to leaders he will fund the “charities” they set up.

  • HARP

    Trolls will be back after they have checked in with HQ.

  • beebop

    All they can defend now are words, just words.

  • NY still loves Hillary

    Pretty much a given that he won’t keep his word, but you make an excellent point:

    Those are some of the reasons the Founding Fathers created the wall in the first place.

    Everything this guy does goes against the Constitution and the roots of this country. I cannot understand how any American can support Obama.

  • Hope Floats

    How magnanimous of you. How does AJSHOPE’s ass taste?

  • tampagurl

    and a hush falls over the trolls …. ;)

    I think it’s a copy/paste of another thread from today :)

  • alee21

    Like I said many times here and else:
    Obamaites are deluded, delusional and objectionable.

    There’s just no point in enlightening these folks. Where there’s a will there’s a way – but apparently not for the Obamaites.

  • cofer

    All this move to the center is yet the biggest deceit coming from OB. Clue: The extreme left is not really screaming about any of this.

    Bringing Our Troops Home
    Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.

  • NY still loves Hillary

    Finally!

  • Hope Floats

    Snark is perhaps the most misused word since irony now. “Wit is the epitaph of an emotion.” Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche… appropriate for a bot.

  • HARP

    I`ll bet dollars to donuts the Trolls come back with…..It`s a smart idea to listen to commanders on the ground.

    Gawd, I miss when trolls could crow about how Barky will get us out of Iraq (not).

  • tampagurl

    Oh yeah HARP, that’s what I was just thinking. They are going to try and turn apples into oranges.

  • K. Wynne

    I am sure Dobson will be crushed to learn he has lost a fan in you.

  • beebop

    But wait …. isn’t he the foreign policy expert who didn’t need a VP to shore up that expertise?

  • tampagurl

    You know I hate to swear…..but he’s a fucking idiot. Maybe I should be president because even I know we should have a base there if possible.

  • K. Wynne

    So, if BO moves to the center, that’s ok, but when Hillary was doing that, the obamabots were attacking her daily as a “bitch who would do and say anything to win.”

    And they wonder why we refuse to support him…

  • wodiej

    He will change the way people feel about the war? How many different ways are there to feel about it? That’s pathetic. Either you’re for it or against it!

    I wonder if they are reading all this from scripts or think these things off of the top of their head. So….while Bush has been in office the Bots thought the war was horrible. But when the one they worship says it’s ok, then it’s ok?? Cripes, they’ve all fallen off the deep end.

  • HARP

    Seriously, he thinks he has all the Kos types wrapped up believing they have no other choice. Now he is going after the soft middle ground. If they can`t bring themselves to go for McCain,then they should vote for Nader.

  • tampagurl

    This guy is spinning out of control, lets hope it all comes to a head before the convention.

  • Vera Possumus

    Obama is a personality cult and that’s all he’s ever been. A cult for naive young people, politically correct academics and those suffering from white guilt. The idea of the far left supporting somebody who is basically a moderate Republican is so pathetic.

    Hypocrites. Total hypocrites.

  • memyself&i

    SEC, where are you? Obama just did a quadruple flip. Did you see it?

  • http://mbc MBC

    And what faith based charity do you think is on the top of his list??? Ding-ding-ding we have a winner = Trinity United Church of Christ!
    After all, they need to rebuild their kitty after building the Rev. Wright his 1.6 million dollar home!

  • cofer

    Correct. And when he is in office, the whole country goes under the bus.

  • wodiej

    LMAO….oh my…..hahaha…what flavor Kool Aid is that…heehee

  • http://deleted imustprotest

    I agree, charity is just that charity. Churches have fundraisers and donations and receive tax emempt status from the government. They are not an arm of the government. Keep church and state separtate.

  • SBwa

    Just another way of Obama obfuscating the fact that he has no experience, no work ethic, no spine, and no credibility.
    Before, we were racists for not liking him.
    Now, if we don’t have faith in him, we aren’t patriotic.

  • NY still loves Hillary

    And just a few scant months ago, it was all about Iraq. “We can’t vote for Clinton, she voted to go into Iraq.” and “Experience doesn’t matter, Obama will get us out of Iraq.”

    MoveOn.org must be passing out the stroke medication.

  • beebop

    LOL …. I think SEC is reacquainting himself with the giant white throne in his parent’s upstairs guest bathroom. Any guesses as to whether he is ovomiting or shitting his insides out?

  • wac for hillary

    The fact that the Obamabots are running candidates against incumbents because they didn’t “hop to” quick enough tells me all I want to know about Obama. I thought I had read somewhere that Rangel told Hillary if she would stop her campaign that the politicians who had supported her would not be penalized.

  • HARP

    A sample of comments from MYDD

    Obama “refines” his position yet again (none / 0)

    It’s frontpage on the New York Times.

    http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/ 07/03/obama-open-to-refine-iraq-withdraw al-timeline/index.html?hp

    He says it’ll be based on his meetings with commanders on the ground.

    My question: why is he only visiting the commanders in the ground right now?? I know he’s been there once before, a few years ago, but as someone who has used Iraq to every advantage in the primary election, shouldn’t he have talked more to the commanders on the ground about how best to nuance his (shifting) positions?

    by Sieglinde on Thu Jul 03, 2008 at 04:06:20 PM EST

    Re: Obama “refines” his (2.00 / 1)

    OMGG!!! Your so right. Its almost as if he is deliberately softening his rhetoric to appease moderate swing voters he will need to win the election. I don’t want a candidate who cares about winning. I want a candidate who appeals only to the base and is willing to loose in order to uphold principles!! Obama doesn’t realize that its PRINCIPLES that matter, even if you don’t have any power to put those principles into action! OMG How can he be this stupid!! LOLZZZZZ!!!!! !

  • wodiej

    actually a friend of mine who is not even a big Christian said she thinks he’s the anti christ. She has a couple other friends besides me who believe in God and maybe they were talking about it with her. I don’t know, he fits the description.

  • NY still loves Hillary

    Moderate? The man’s a Neo Con! George BHO Bush!

  • K. Wynne

    Everyone knows that when you centralize power (which is what the BO camp did when they moved the DNC to Chicago), that opens the door for all kinds of back room deals.

    Also, by the Chicago Way Gang controlling the DNC money, they also decide which candidate they give the money to. See how “centralizing” the DNC has put total control into the BO camp?

    The word is that Hillary was threatened with her Senate seat (no money from the DNC to help her campaign), if she didn’t throw her support behind BO.

    Thus, another reason we need to retire her campaign debt!

    Let’s dedicate Independence Day to paying off Hillary’s debt!

  • Bella

    Hahaha!

  • Faustina

    Colorado, I think, has been identified as a swing state that the Democrats are counting on winning in November. Obama won the Democratic caucus, but I think if there had been an election Hillary would have won by the same margins she won Oklahoma and Arizona.

    I have 12 family members who would have voted for Hillary; they will now all vote for McCain or not vote for President at all.

    We’re rural so I guess that would explain that voting pattern to Obama’s people. Of course, there are a lot of other factors not accounted for by them…like basic common sense.

    Obama has his work cut out for him in Colorado, Boulder and Aspen notwithstanding.

  • Tuppence 411

    How many PLEDGED BO delegates need to flip at the convention? Isn’t it just around 150? Supposedly, his camp picked really rabid left delegates. Think he has pissed off at least 150 of them? We don’t even need to flip them, just have them so disgusted they sit out the first roll call vote.

    We have to keep her on the convention ballot. She needs to hold firm to her delegates and not ever release them. First roll call with Hillary in the lead, what will the Dean-Pelosi- Brazile do then?

  • SBwa

    That is the spin Obama is trying to put on it by pushing all these Christian rock concerts for young people.
    The fact is, he has made stood for certain positions that are extremely offensive to, not only Christians, but to many people who are secular and pro-choice as well. And, he has the gumption to think that he is a doctor of theology or some sort of mouthpiece for G-d telling others how to practice their own religion. He is a pompous ass.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    Read the comments over there, Tampa, it looks like Team Obama had them prepared early this time…it goes something like this..AHEM! “Well, after Bush refusing to budge on Iraq for years, it is refreshing to see a politician re-examine his position and be flexable.” Oh Barky is FLEXIBLE all right, Cirque De Soleil has nothing on him. He’s more like Gumby.

  • Hmm

    I think Obama may have a cut a deal with some of the Republican leaders. He’s such an amoral liar and a traitor to the democratic party it would make sense. Why else are the republicans not attacking him. Karl Rove has already tried to help his campaign in the media-maybe Karl reeeeeeeally likes Obama for some reason and wants to get in bed with him- politically.

    The republicans certainly look soft, flabby and weak lately. Or dont they want to win? All I know is people wont vote for a party’s candidate if they think the party is made up of weak losers.

  • cofer

    Next: Obama promises 100 years in Iraq.

  • memyself&i

    Didn’t hear any of Obamabots saying that when McCain said this.

    If it was such a good idea, why didn’t Obama meet with General Petraeus and other military leaders in Iraq before now? Why didn’t he agree with their assessment before now? Did he just read this in a Winni the Pooh book?

    He is so fake.

  • vonay

    TO comment on why “some” people of the Appalachian mountain region don’t trust OBama…

    I have many relatives in eastern Ky.

    Most of these people are good , hard working, and honest.
    They don’t trust Obama because of his 20 year membership in a church which preaches hate and racism
    against white people.

    After the “racism” speach Obama gave, the distrust was even more evident because they feel like Obama lied to the American people to cover up his true beliefs.

    They and most of us are not stupid, they and we know a person doesn’t spend 20 years in a racist, hate filled atmosphere unless the person believes that way.

    Obama being black hasn’t anything to do with why they aren’t voting for him. It’s his poor judgment, his friends and the church he went to for 20 years.

    Why is that so hard for some people to understand?

  • NY still loves Hillary

    But that does not detract from its brilliance…

    Obama is not a true Christian, read this interview from 2004:

  • wac for hillary

    It’s about getting votes, nothing more and nothing less. Once Obama has what he needs from them, he will cast them aside for the next group he thinks he can woo.

  • wodiej

    yep, it’s pretty disillusional to think for one minute Obama will will over Christians. Ain’t gonna happen. The majority of Christians vote Republican no matter who is running-even if it’s McCain. McCain was also in the military and they are big on that too. That shows patriotism. On top of that he was a POW and tortured because he wouldn’t insult the US. Yep, I can see ole’ Bobo who never spent a day of his life serving this country or anyone else for that matter but his own interests winning over Christians-hahahahahahaha…………….

  • Bella

    I remember Brazile made a comment once on CNN how it was only the Republican males stood by her, whatever that meant. Maybe from 2000? Anyway, she went on about how her and Karl Rove email and talk all the time. We all know about her piece 4 years ago ‘tapping into the Obama factor’.

    Obama was chosen. Rove also gave him advice on how to run against Hillary.

  • wac for hillary

    Obama and the DNC seem to think that there are no media outlets in rural America. We actually have newspapers, televisions, and radios. Some of us even have computers. And most of us know a bullshit artist when we see one. So, Obama can use the Hopey, Changey crap all he wants, but what we are looking for is substance–something he is sorely lacking.

  • wodiej

    wrong color…she can’t call out a “brotha”…

  • NY still loves Hillary

    No, he basically told her that if she didn’t cave he couldn’t stop Obama from setting up challenges to her supporters. So she backed off so the down line Dems in NY wouldn’t have to suffer for supporting her. Problem is, he’s still putting up challengers because they waited too long before they hopped on the Hopium Express.

    There’s no way to win with this guy if you ever even uttered the word Hillary without horking.

  • wodiej

    I agree w that.

    Please spread the word

    PROTEST OBAMA by holding up and shaking your key ring at his rallies.

    Recently Obama and his surrogates have been downing McCain’s service to our country in Vietnam.

    McCain’s medical records said McCain was afraid of the rattle of keys for years after Vietnam because that sound indicated that the guards were coming to torture him.

    Lets make Obama afraid of the sound of the keys and show the world the difference between McCains service to our country and Obama’s lack of service to our country.

    PLUS—they can’t id us before we do it—-everyone has keys and the media will love the symbolism.

  • samb

    Part of the reason this has happened is, that he keeps his past a secret , It make him look so suspicious, so people read so much into his real motives and that make people think he is evil, its his own fault ( dont drink the kool-aid. )

  • wodiej

    I totally agree. There are ALOT of churches abusing their tax free privileges-Trinity Church. There are also alot of churches allowing leaders to pilfer from the offering plate and live lavishly while many of their congregation barely gets by. It needs to remain separate and no government help whatsoever.

    It’s almost like Obama believes if he says something, people will automatically believe he is telling the truth. I choose to think just the opposite–that he’s lying.

  • wac for hillary

    What else can he do since he deserted the Democrats traditional base? He and the DNC elite have so royally messed up the Democratic Party that I’m not sure it can recover.

  • skepticle

    So…Obama’s a traitor to the Democratic Party…but the people voting for and donating to the Republican candidate are true Democrats. Makes sense. No, wait, it doesn’t make any sense at all.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    How’s Barky’s speech today on staying in Iraq sitting with you? Remember when you said Hillary was Bush lite and Mccain’s stance on listening to commanders on the ground was akin to warmongering? Barky was supposed to get all those Appalachian boys and girls serving in Iraq home, now, not so much. What say you?

  • blueasthesky

    What good is it to have the Democrats win when their leader is a guy who won’t take a stand on anything? I think he’ll be a weak general election candidate. Unless he’s got some other abilities that he so far, has not shown, I think he’s going to be in a tough struggle.

    If elected I expect he’ll be a weak leader. There’s nothing in his record to suggest he has any leadership ability.

    Obama’s Democratic party is a house of cards, ready to be toppled by even the slightest breeze.

    And you’re not going to be filibuster-proof just because the party has enough Senate seats to vote for cloture. You need to get everybody on board, which is a much tougher thing to do.

    The best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party this time around is for McCain to win.

  • skepticle

    I’m not religious but I can understand why a believer could think this.

    I was watching “Lost Books of Nostradamus 2012 and Ophiuchus” on Youtube because a friend is into Nostradamus and they show pictures of Osama (hinting he is the 3rd AC) but they interpret the 3rd antichrist as a “Prince of Peace who’s really a Prince of War”, “he appears to be a Muslim from an Asian nation”, they talk about the Sun foreshadowing the AC (which is the Obama Logo).

    Anyhow, like I said I am not a believer and I haven’t looked up anything in regard to this but if anyone is interested this is the link to part 1 of 3.

  • wac for hillary

    That just reminded me of a quote by Alexander Pope, “A wit’s a feather, a chief’s a rod, but an honest man is the noblest work of God.” Somehow, I don’t think Obama would qualify for the honest man category.

I think I saw this on Sugar and Spice’s blog.

    I agree with you both.

  • pretendingtobeatroll

    “It`s a smart idea to listen to commanders on the ground.” That’s right and that’s what Obama is doing! He is proving what he always said he could do, work with everyone. Hillary still voted for the war in the first place. All of you have selective memory.

  • Tuppence 411

    The Evangelicals are going to have a field day with this quote:
    “GG: Who’s Jesus to you?
    (He laughs nervously)
    OBAMA: Right.
    Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

    Buzzzer. Wrong answer Barky. Awwhh, the correct answer is “Lord and Savior”. The panel would have also accepted “Redeemer” or “Lamb of God”. That’s it for our show. Tune in next week!

  • andySF

    A political party is nothing more than a group of people tied together by common believes. When that person no longer share those view, then he’s no longer a representation of that party. For someone who don’t believe in civil liberty(FISA), who don’t believe in the US constitution(church and state). when someone op-out of public financed election, a democratic value, then is fair to call him traitor.

    Agreed. Anti-Obama demonstrations need to occur at these rallies. I am tired of the Obama campaign oraganizing 50,000 zombies while Obama stands on a stage, yells a silly speech, and has the media feel thrills up their leg.

    Obama cannot handle any heat or criticism. Look at his last debate when he had to handle questions more difficult than what his favorite ice cream is. Obama and his supporters all cried like little babies. If Obama is hounded at every rally he will unravel. I bet he will lose it and start calling everyone protesting him “racist”.

    Some Republicans think Obama is a gift since their party has fallen out of grace, it will take an Obama to screw things up royally so they can rebound. But at what price? If Obama is as inept as some people think then we could see mushroom clouds over the US.

  • hillarysmygirl

    Unless he comes out Pro-Life…the only way he’ll get the Evangelical vote. At that point, remind me why exactly should I vote for B. Hack Obambi?

  • NY still loves Hillary

    OMG you have NO SHAME you Obamaslut!

    Hillary voted for the war, Hillary voted for the war, Auntie Em!

    Yep, she did. And she was lied to. And she kept repeating that Bush was the problem, not any Democrat. But the Obama camp insisted that she was personally responsible for the war.

    And now he doesn’t to pull out (what do you think the commanders on the ground are going to tell him?). And guess what? I’m holding Obama personally responsible for not ending the war!

  • hillarysmygirl

    I miss Bill AND Hill!

  • Obama is a bum

    Black liberation theology for everyone, what rock did you crawl out from under?

  • wac for hillary

    I’ll bet his defense contractor buddies didn’t like that withdraw immediately position, so being an accommodating kind of guy, Obama modified his position. He just wants to please, especially those giving him the big bucks.

  • Obama is a bum

    I want the list of the 28% who does not. I could sell them the fountain of youth.

  • Ferdberfle

    Say anything? You bet he will. And his drooling minions have formed a circular firing squad because he is moving to the middle. Hillary was already there but the mouth-breathers who call themselves the agents of change made the same old tired arguments against her.

    Oblahblah is a shill, a carpet bagger, and a true dud who is monumentally unqualified to be president. His idolizers just want their twenty acres and a mule.

  • alee21

    That was one of Hillary’s points which Obama stole, just like he stole all her policies, give it a tiny twist and claim them as his own.

    Obama has no core values, plain and simple. Hypocrite, arrogant, ignorant, sexist, a liar and a panderer.

    Obamaites – you are still harping about Hillary’s war vote? Even when Bush’s own people have come out and said the intelligence was deliberately misrepresented? Even when the MSM was complicit in selling the war to the American public? Don’t you people ever learn?

    We don’t even know for sure if Obama made that anti-war speech. No one seems able to produce evidence of the speech. Not that it matters then or now. His speech was of no consequence except to lay the groundwork of his seeking the presidency. The guy is a toad. Planning to trade in his $1.6+ million dollar house for the WH. Upwardly mobile.

    To Obama it IS all about winning- whatever it takes- no holes barred. Use whomever. Take whatever. Say whatever. Smear whomever. It doesn’t matter. Just win.
    Sadly in a president we need someone who wants to DO THE TOUGH JOB and has a proven record of experience that will enable them to be effective in dealing with the tough issues of the day both at home and abroad. Unfortunately Obama is lacking in both the experience part and the doing the work part. Lord help us if he is elected. If it ain’t Hillary we must support McCain.

  • Anonymous

    Let’s be clear about what the problem Obama has with middle America, even the majority of normal people in the US. Most people in the US, recognize that there are factions in the liberal left that would LOVE to suspend our democracy and replace it with a sick marxist dictatorship. We see how that garbage started in other countries with the dismantling of religion so that people, no longer able to tell right from wrong, accepted heinously evil behavior. We notice how disarming the populace is an absolute necessity, for any of this to happen. Obama has tied himself to those elements among the democrats and then comes up with this sickening comment. Obviously, if he’s elected, he will attempt to advance that agenda. Will attempt to dismantle religion and disarm people as a necessary move before the real harm begins.

    People are not offended by what he said so much as they are wondering if civil war is imminent. Because that is EXACTLY what will happen if the leftist “progressives” make any real progress along those lines. This ain’t russia and this ain’t china. The people here absolutely will not accept that and will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening. We are EXTREMELY well armed and nowhere near as ignorant and complacent as they think.

    Build the Democratic Party? Someone needs to tell the liberals/progressives/leftwingers–whatever you want to call them–at Huff & Puff and Kos that they have been thrown under the bus, just like grandma, Rev. Wright, et al. Barry is now “finessing” his position on Iraq, moving to the middle on yet another issue. THE issue that propelled his candidacy, and gave him the so-called moral high ground over Hillary.

    He’s already stolen the Democratic nomination, so he doesn’t need his lefty true-believers anymore–he’s knows they will vote for him come hell or high water. So he is selling them out to court “middle America.”

    With Barry, it’s win at all costs. He has NO integrity. He couldn’t “lead” his way out of a paper bag. He isn’t building the Democratic Party, and he’ll be a disaster as POTUS.

  • NY still loves Hillary

    I’ve also read posts from PO’d Nevada caucusers here many times. It just seems like there are never any trolls about when there’s a poster that experienced the violence first-hand. Imagine that.

    And if the choice was between Obama and Satan himself I’d go for the lesser of the 2 evils and vote for Satan.

  • believe

    Sure, cause McCain never flip-flops, never decries the Christian right and then cozies up to them, always stays firm, except for these and more –

    * McCain supported the drilling moratorium; now he’s against it.

    * McCain strongly opposes a windfall-tax on oil company profits. Three weeks earlier, he was perfectly comfortable with the idea.

    * McCain thought Bush’s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.

    * McCain defended “privatizing” Social Security. Now he says he’s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

    Wait, I’m not done with the last two weeks yet….

    * McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn’t.

    * McCain thought the estate tax was perfectly fair. Now he believes the opposite.

    * He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.”

    * McCain said he would “not impose a litmus test on any nominee.” He used to promise the opposite.

    And these come after these other reversals from April and May:

    * McCain believes the telecoms should be forced to explain their role in the administration’s warrantless surveillance program as a condition for retroactive immunity. He used to believe the opposite.

    * McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.

    * McCain supported moving “towards normalization of relations” with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.

    * McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Hamas. Now he believes the opposite.

    * McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Syria. Now he believes the opposite.

    * He argued the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party’s policy making. Now he believes the opposite.

    * McCain supported his own lobbying-reform legislation from 1997. Now he doesn’t.

    * He wanted political support from radical televangelists like John Hagee and Rod Parsley. Now he doesn’t.

    * McCain supported the Lieberman/Warner legislation to combat global warming. Now he doesn’t.

    And these are the flip-flops I’ve noticed earlier:

    * McCain pledged in February 2008 that he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Specifically, McCain was asked if he is a “‘read my lips’ candidate, no new taxes, no matter what?” referring to George H.W. Bush’s 1988 pledge. “No new taxes,” McCain responded. Two weeks later, McCain said, “I’m not making a ‘read my lips’ statement, in that I will not raise taxes.”

    * McCain is both for and against a “rogue state rollback” as a focus of his foreign policy vision.

    * McCain says he considered and did not consider joining John Kerry’s Democratic ticket in 2004.

    * In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won’t commit to supporting a regulation bill he’s co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris’ former lobbyist as his senior campaign adviser.

    * McCain has changed his economic worldview on multiple occasions.

    * McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions.

    * McCain is both for and against attacking Barack Obama over his former pastor at his former church.

    * McCain believes Americans are both better and worse off than they were before Bush took office.

    * McCain is both for and against earmarks for Arizona.

    * McCain believes his endorsement from radical televangelist John Hagee was both a good and bad idea.

    * McCain’s first mortgage plan was premised on the notion that homeowners facing foreclosure shouldn’t be “rewarded” for acting “irresponsibly.” His second mortgage plan took largely the opposite position.

    * McCain vowed, if elected, to balance the federal budget by the end of his first term. Soon after, he decided he would no longer even try to reach that goal.

    * In February 2008, McCain reversed course on prohibiting waterboarding.

    * McCain used to champion the Law of the Sea convention, even volunteering to testify on the treaty’s behalf before a Senate committee. Now he opposes it.

    * McCain was a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, which would grant legal status to illegal immigrants’ kids who graduate from high school. Now he’s against it.

    * On immigration policy in general, McCain announced in February 2008 that he would vote against his own legislation.

    * In 2006, McCain sponsored legislation to require grassroots lobbying coalitions to reveal their financial donors. In 2007, after receiving “feedback” on the proposal, McCain told far-right activist groups that he opposes his own measure.

    * McCain said before the war in Iraq, “We will win this conflict. We will win it easily.” Four years later, McCain said he knew all along that the war in Iraq war was “probably going to be long and hard and tough.”

    * McCain said he was the “greatest critic” of Rumsfeld’s failed Iraq policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as “a mission accomplished.” In March 2004, he said, “I’m confident we’re on the right course.” In December 2005, he said, “Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course.”

    * McCain went from saying he would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade to saying the exact opposite.

    * McCain went from saying gay marriage should be allowed, to saying gay marriage shouldn’t be allowed.

    * McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but then decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks.

    * McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.

    * On a related note, he said 2005 that he opposed the tax cuts because they were “too tilted to the wealthy.” By 2007, he denied ever having said this, and insisted he opposed the cuts because of increased government spending.

    * In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.

    * McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June 2007, he abandoned his own legislation.

    * McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., before he supported it.

    * McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.

    * McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.

    * McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

    * McCain decided in 2000 that he didn’t want anything to do with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, believing he “would taint the image of the ‘Straight Talk Express.’” Kissinger is now the Honorary Co-Chair for his presidential campaign in New York.

    Obama wants to pull out all combat troops and leaves some support troops.

    However, if AlQuada re-establishes itself he will go in and defend Iraq. With what troops? He just pulled all the combat troops out?

    So obviously Obama isn’t going to bring the “troops home and end the war”. He is just moving them down the street? If we bring the troops home they cannot get back to Iraq in time to “defend it”. (Of course I actually think Iran will take care of Al Quada)

    I would bet money that Leonard Doyle reads No Quarter.

    I posted about this exact thing — Obama being seen as The Antichrist — yesterday here at NQ in the comments section of a post about BaJoke (can’t recall which article’s comment section it was).

    In the post was how people see BHO as fitting the description, being from the east being the key factor (among many) which I mentioned.

    And, poof, up pops Doyle’s article.

    There’s more I could get into here about what Doyle wrote and his likely looking at NQ and some other of my stuff, but that’s irrelevant. What is relevant, however, is that this is an excellent object lesson about the MSM’s peering in here at NQ and on other blogs (for another such lesson, see CNN’s insane attack on SavagePolitics recently).

    What this means for all of us is that we are all just a few keystrokes away from having our thoughts and ideas amplified in the MSM. And, thus, being able to help the PUMA cause.

    Part of the reason why the ObamaDork astrotrolls come here is to try to dispirit us from writing our comments. They KNOW the MSM is buzzing around here, and so they try to head off any fresh meat for the MSM coming from us.

    Sorry, astrotrolls, you lose.

    I used to post (under the name ‘RokSki’) at a site called SportsJournalists.com. It was well-known among a number of people at the site that writers from ESPN and Sports Illustrated frequented the site looking for ideas. Thus, if you wanted to get something out to a wider audience that was a good place to air it out and wait for someone at the big networks to pick it up.

    It’s the same phenomenon here. Anything you write can and will be used — hopefully against BaJoke.

    So let’s just keep on writing, writers and commenters. Astrotrolls be damned and no stopping until NObama.

    PS: If you think I’m delusional about the power of No Quarter and other sites, think again. In the last 5 days I was written up in the New York Times and yesterday (Thursday) had one of my YouTube videos played on CSPAN’s “Washington Journal” program (unbeknownst to me; I’m making a video about this) in a segment about the internet and politics. That recognition came, in part, from being on sites like this one.

    Big MSM brother is watching. Let’s all put our best feet — and Obama dirt — forward and let their megaphones help do the rest.

    PUMA!
