Obama Is a Republican
The American Con sevative ^ | Oct. 21, 2014 | BRUCE BARTLETT

Posted on 11/10/2014 11:51:30 AM PST by lulu16

According to exit polls in 2008, Obama ended up with 20 percent of the conservative vote. Even in 2012, after four years of relentless conservative attacks, he still got 17 percent of the conservative vote, with 11 percent of Tea Party supporters saying they cast their ballots for Obama.

They were not wrong. In my opinion, Obama has governed as a moderate conservative—essentially as what used to be called a liberal Republican before all such people disappeared from the GOP. He has been conservative to exactly the same degree that Richard Nixon basically governed as a moderate liberal, something no conservative would deny today. (Ultra-leftist Noam Chomsky recently called Nixon “the last liberal president.”)

I know from which this is cited, but with my bad eyes, it looks like he is wearing a cassock. Yikes.

I know how the Manchurian Candidate admires China for their infrastructure and their power. Maybe he be caught on an open mic revealing something traitorous like he’ll outdo Clinton in favored nation status.

Huh? I tossed a “mega-barf” at the idea Obola is a conservative. Was not directed at you personally, but at the article.

Why the clean-up call?

/confused...

I should have made an emoticon wink at you;) I had the same visceral response. In fact, we should all spit three times whenever someone tries to describe BO in any terms that are good and honorable.

Zero is marxist/communist 100%. He was the most liberal senator in Washington. He won the vote in 2008 and 2012.

The American people are tired. We now have to go back in and try to stabilize or destroy the policies foisted upon us by a stupid and ignorant electorate. It happens every single time a liberal dipshit is elected to high office.

I in no way tired... (said like Hillary with her plantation accent).

Ever since, Tuesday, I am re energized. I told my husband when a Boehner-supported RINO was nominated, first, we have to get rid of the commies, and then we start nudging conservatives forward.

Ted Cruz is now sending me email blasts (unsolicited), he must know I am on his side and fighting.

They are so desperate that they don’t even know which lie to tell.
