‘....they will deserve to lose.’
The problem is AMERICA will lose and many of us who love America with every fiber of our being will lose. not to sound dramatic, but, imho, perhaps as it was during the formation of our great country, it’s up to “we the people” to educate, with facts, those who easily swallow the drivel Obama tries to feed them.
You’re missing the point. Its not what Obama’s father was. Its that Obama junior, according to his own words in his own book (as quoted above), wished to model himself after him. Not only that, but he was well enough aware of how extreme and unacceptable his father’s views were that he glossed over them completely. This is not someone who “honors” his father, as every child should. Its someone who wants to pick up where he left off.
Actually, George Romney was a moderate Republican. Mitt's politics were not all that different that George's either while governor of Massachusetts.
That aside, Obama's politics are so extreme going back to his days with the Joyce Foundation, that there is no need to bring his dad into this. He makes Michael Dukakis look almost moderate.

You win the full-of-himself and self-righteous awards today.
TROLL ALERT!
“recovering Republican” = “lifelong Democrat”
100% taxation
communal farms / the elimination of private farming
the nationalization of businesses owned by Europeans and Asians.
active measures to bring about a classless society
Sounds like Obama found a church that adhered to his father's ideals.
Nobody could say it wasn't African or Socialist in its outlook.
I don't see it.
I wouldn't expect a condemnation of their father from the politician, if they never really brought up their father as being a pillar of their own belief systems, but when someone says they advocate a position, it is perfectly reasonable in a Republic to LOOK at the position they are advocating.
