The Obama Triangle
IBD ^ | February 15, 2008

Posted on 02/15/2008 6:29:38 PM PST by Kaslin

Democrats: Triangulation, or playing both sides while talking in the middle, used to be Bill Clinton's famous strategy for winning and holding the presidency. Obama is beating Hillary by outflanking a liberal party to the left.


If Hillary Clinton loses the Democratic nomination, which appears increasingly likely, it will be in part because she thought she could run a general election campaign during the primaries, finishing off her novice opponent from Illinois on Super Tuesday.

She also forgot the passions of the hard lefties that now increasingly rule in the Democratic Party — the Code Pink loons and the George Soros-funded MoveOn.org crowd.

For them, there's no tolerance for Clintonian finesse or hair-splitting. You can't tell them you voted to give President Bush the green light to go to war in Iraq but you didn't really expect him to exercise that authority.

The lefties want blood. They want the war ended yesterday, as the Democrats promised if they retook the White House. They want the rich punished and their income redistributed.

They want red-meat liberalism, and Obama is ready to give it to them, as he's shown in vote after vote in his less than full term in the U.S. Senate. They certainly don't want hearings on who stuck what in Roger Clemens' tushie.

Hillary! is but a foot soldier. If she is cast aside, no matter, Alinsky can still triumph.

I say all Americans owe a debt of gratitude to B.H. Obama for sparing us having to watch a general election campaign with Hillary Clinton. I’m not joking. Think about it.

“They want red-meat liberalism,....”

Eh? Shouldn’t that be pinkish-tofu liberalism?

I don’t think it matters. Either one of the two is bad for the country

“Wow. Unreal. I cant see how this guy can win. All you have to point out is your taxes are going to double under this Commie.”

The man has NEVER been opposed/run in a race that was wide open for him.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The language spiced with Biblical references that Obama uses and are used about him are growing. Let’s say going legion.

This man has to have sold his soul to the devil, and to Soros. The State is becoming god.

Chills run down my spine.

Half the country doesn't pay any income tax.

Guess which half are voting for Obama.

If Obama is the nominee, it will be the first time Soros has funded BOTH the Republicrat and Democan candidates.

From the link, at the top:

“Note The web is being scrubbed of Obama content. Please use the feedback page to report broken links, so I may repair them, find a substitute article or link to the referenced article via cache or WayBack Machine.”

We need serious pinging please. Eagles up!

Thank you.

On March 30, he voted to raise the cigarette tax by 61 cents a pack and use the extra revenue to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program to include people earning four times the poverty level, adults and illegal aliens..

Theres a regressive tax the lower class whites will enjoy! Nothing like taking away 20 % of your cigabutt money just to fund illegals health care. .. But what the heck, as compensation he'll also make everyone pay more money for their cars and their car's fuel, all in the name of conservation! He's got something for everyone.

While we are talking about Obama, check out this video on YouTube. Who knows if it is true or a Clinton plant. Interesting, none the less.
