Well, they certainly have the talking points down.

he's "an incredible orator,"

if he does half the things he talks about doing, it will be a wonderful thing."

We feel Obama's more in touch with what the true American is really about

I also feel Obama is more patient, and that he really listens to what people say.

Obama seems sincere about wanting to unite the country

the Republican Party's been hijacked by the Religious Right

It kind of scares me when I look at old pictures of Nixon and there's Cheney sitting right next to him…almost incestuous

I don't know who this Karl Rove guy is - he's not elected to anything

Sound like Obama Republicans to me.

Honestly, progressives should be able to do better than this.

[right way right]

"the Republican Party's been hijacked by the Religious Right"

Yeah, Rudy Gulianni Card carring member of the "Religious Right"

These people are baked.

[Beagle8U]

Madison republican?

I think the only qualification to be classified a Rep there is to have had fewer than 3 abortions, looked at a gun in a magazine once,and be faithful to your same sex life partner for 6 full months.

Adds Wann, "We feel Obama's more in touch with what the true American is really about. As opposed to a president who came from a very rich family and went to Yale and was always kind of sheltered and given everything he wanted.

This is hilarious. I guess a guy from a very rich family who went to Harvard is different.

[devolve]

Was it algore who dug up the radical nutcase women who collected bottles besides the roads?

He invented all these screwy stories - or worse - actually found some

O'Bomber claimed in his first epic book that his father, Baraka Hussein Obama Sr. grew up in poverty and hunger in a tin shack in Kenya

Truth is O'Bomber Jr.'s daddy really grew up on his wealthy farmer-father's huge plantation in Kenya - and both were tied to the now-banned Mau Mau terrorists

"Can you believe me now?"

"Am I still selling and using cocaine now?"

"I was a Muslim for 31 years but now I'm a Christian centrist!"

"I've really quit smoking so all of those photos of me chain-smoking now are all Photo-Shopped!"

[Hardastarboard]

"I also feel Obama is more patient, and that he really listens to what people say. And I think he'd inspire people, much like (John) Kennedy did."

Dude (or Dudette), you've really got to be more conscientious about the barf alerts on these postings. Please.

and think he's "an incredible orator,"

Good thing they didn't call him articulate --- that would have been racist.

[Taichi]

They say they're Republicans? Wonder how much Obama's people paid them to say it?

[goldstategop]

I just love when the Drive Bys/MSM find liberal Republicans AKA RINOs and misleadingly describe them as "conservatives." ROFL! Any Freeper knows Barack Obama has a LIBERAL voting record to the LEFT of Hillary Clinton! I don't know where the media found this pair but no true conservative is going to be seduced by Obama's spell because no true conservative can even contemplate backing a LIBERAL! 'Nuff said.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

[adorno]

Obama wins hearts, minds of these two Republicans

Somebody, somewhere, thinks that true republicans are so gullible and so stupid as to believe a story such as this.

Next they'll be selling us on a story about Ahmadinegad and Bin-Laden being the only hope for America's survival and future..

[Theresawithanh]

Yeah, riiiiiight! These two are "conservative Republicans" like I'm a Hillary democrat.

I'd like to ask them to examine O's voting record and see if they still support him, but since they are figments of this author's imagination, I'll pass.

[Azzurri]

I call BS. How many "conservative Republican" spouses have different last names? This guy certainly doesn't look like the typical stereotypical conservative male...more like a weenie dominated by his wife.

Ann Wann and Robert Stross conduct story time for son James with "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama, their choice for president.

[Brucifer]

"...it's very annoying because this is what all our liberal friends have been saying."

I think this gets close to the heart of the matter. They can't think for themselves. AKA Useful Idiots.

[Thunder90]

The Democratic Underground hates Hillary more than they hate FreeRepublic. They gush over Obama, however.

[texson66]

Obama is a very young black LBJ-type of demonrat with good manners. LBJ spent billions to eliminate poverty and failed - Obama wants to try again. Senator Rodham wants to try again on national (US and Mexico) health care system. Obama sez me too. I think Obama is really running for VP.

There is no way I would ever vote for a man or woman who wants to steal my hard earned money to buy votes from the "poor". (read commie)

[ansel12]

"She not only is a lifelong Republican, but an anti-big government conservative Republican who campaigned for Robert Dole in 1996."




That was a long time ago, and she doesn't even use her husbands last name.

Take a look at Obama's weasely statement on religion: The way he states it, he could be baptised and still be a Muslim.

Of his religious affiliation, Obama has written: I was drawn to the power of the African American religious tradition to spur social change. [...] In the history of these struggles, I was able to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death; rather, it was an active, palpable agent in the world.(a political tool )[...] It was because of these newfound understandings–that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking(I didn't have to believe in the divinity of Christ), disengage from the battle for economic and social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved(abandon Islam)–that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized. It came about as a choice and not an epiphany; the questions I had did not magically disappear. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt God's (he says God, not Jesus Christ. Which God? Allah?)spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth.[114]

[jocon307]

Let me this about that: I didn't think there was a person on the face of the earth who could cause me to support Hillary! in any way. But, mirabile dictu, the press has found, or should I say created one. If it came down to a choice between Hillary and Barak, her thighness would have my vote in a heartbeat. As I am not a democrat I'll never have to make that awful choice.

But seriously, who is this guy? To me he is the political equivalent of Paris Hilton, someone who should just.....go away.

[manic4organic]

Sounds like every Rush seminar caller. "I'm a staunch conservative and voted for Bush twice, but...."

[Seaplaner]

Why Obama? the piece asks, rhetorically.

I can tell you why some Dems want Obama.

It's simple, really.

Some of the Democratic party feel as though Hillary Rodham's lengthy rap sheet just might catch up to her in an election (with no small help from F.R. and others in the blogosphere.) They also shudder to think what might happen if Hillary were ever confronted with the 10 or 15 questions for which she has absolutely no answer. (e.g., Sen Clinton, will you...

- Release your Wellesley Senior Thesis?,

-Compare and contrast Marxism and Capitalism?

- Explain the Peter Paul case?

- Explain the pardons of the FALN terrorists?

- Explain the cattle futures profits in light of the fact that (as I recall) the WSJ said that they published no info that would have helped you?

- Explain the mysterious re-appearance of the billing records?

- Explain Craig Livingstone?

- Explain the alleged high number of tax audits of political foes?

- Explain the whereabouts of the White House silverware and china? and explain ...(you get the idea.)

There is no library of Obama exposes, such as there exists for Hillary (many of us own several titles.)

Yet, anyway.

If I understood Dick Morris on Fox News correctly, the Clintons will be (clandestinely) treating all news consumers to some negative scoops relating to the "clean" Mister Obama.

[Irish Queen]

These supposed conservatives for Barack Osama appear to be as authentic as Communists for Christ.

Today I read some of the reader reviews for Osama's book, "Audacity of Hope" Except for a couple of tongue in cheek snide comments, all of the reviews breathlessly praised the book for its amazing wisdsom, and breadth of passion. According to one writer it was positively divine.

I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the reviews were from seminar writers.
