We need a president that will put Barney Smith ahead of Smith Barney.
Think he thought of that himself?

Democrats use a fake Republican from Grant County to introduce Barack Obama
You may remember Barney Smith from Fairmount, Indiana. He spoke at the Democrat National Convention Thursday night and was one of the people who introduced Barack Obama. He will be remembered for the line "I want a president who cares more about Barney Smith than they do about Smith Barney." A great well-written line that many people remember.
On Thursday night in Denver, when he introduced Barack Obama, he claimed to be a "lifelong" Republican. But it looks like the Democrats lied about his affiliation, or at minimum never took the time to check him out.
You would think that with all those Republicans who are supposedly crossing over to vote for the Obamassaih the Democrats would have actually been able to find a real one.
Barney Smith's voter registration is clear. It shows that for the last 12 years he has voted in 3 primary elections. In 1996 he voted Democrat, in 2006 he voted Republican, and in 2008 he voted Democrat.
He may well have had Republican leanings, and how he voted in general elections is, of course, confidential. But would you say that voting in one Republican primary in the last 12 years would qualify a person to be a "lifelong" Republican?
I would say Mr. Smith has got Barney Smith and Smith Barney confused as to where the morons stand. They will take money from anyone and heck to anyone standing in the way.
He is probably the same.
They had to find SOMEBODY to counter Leiberman’s speech.
Should have named him Binney Smith (as in the crayon). If there were a new crayon color named after Hussein, I wonder what it would be called. Any ideas?
The end justifies the means to a demoCRAP.

And they would get some oddball looking guy to be a “Lifelong Republican” wouldn’t they?
Oops my bad, on second look that is the microphone in front of his face, not some really weird beard!
Male? Check!
White? Check!
Short hair? Check!
Checked button-down shirt? Check!
Republican credentials? Uhhhhh...kinda.
Idiot Obama staff? Check!
‘They had to find SOMEBODY to counter Leiberman’s speech.’
They searched in vain for a guy named Ronald Enn, and then settled for Barney Smith.
Hal A. Burton, lifelong Republican.
"But weally and twully. I am a wifewong wepubwican!"
Naturally our lazy local Indiana media featured this guy extensively as a “tie-in” to the national convention story, but never took the time to check if he was really a Republican.
Army Sergeant DI Bold, lifelong Republican
LOL...I knew he looked familiar!
