To win, Obama needs to get white voters to stay home

“And if we had elected McCain, we would not have Obamacare today.”

***

I wouldn’t bet on it. McCain is the great comprimiser, Mr. Bipartisanship. He might be more conservative on foreign policy matters, but on domestic issues, he’s a flaming liberal.

The reason McCain failed was that he was an awful candidate. He had all the charisma of a lawn chair. And he appeared to be a white version of Obama. People voted for Obama because they were intrigued by the thought of the first African-American president. Obama was and is an excellent mouthpiece, very adept at persuading the masses. Of course, that’s because they are so charmed by him, they don’t bother looking at his past and background (what little background there is) to find out what he’s really all about.

The Republican party had the opportunity to correct the mistake of nominating a putz for President in 2008 by allowing the people to select a real conservative to represent them. Instead they annointed yet another liberal. The party had already decided Romney would be its nominee even before the primaries began. So now, even though there are those who have seen the light on Obama, he may still win a second term because the alternative has no appeal.

If Obama wins again, you can blame the party for forcing another liberal candidate on us. And you can blame yourself for voting for the same liberal candidate. Nothing will ever change if you continue to vote party over principles or because the candidate isn’t Obama.

No. It is a fact that McCain would not have signed socialized medicine.

The Senate passed Obamacare 60 to 39.

NOT ONE SINGLE SENATE RINO VOTED FOR IT.

Not Olympia Snow.

Not Susan Collins.

Not even Arlen Specter

Not George Voinovich

Not Lisa Murkowski

Not Mel Martinez

NOT JOHN MCCAIN

SENATOR MCCAIN VOTED AGAINST OBAMACARE.

That is the fact. Not a single RINO voted for it. So stuff it.

I hate it some people just want to argue and can’t accept the facts when they are presented to them. Make a valid point, don’t create it from whole cloth.

It is a FACT that Pelosi and Reed NEVER could have passed Socialized medicine if McCain was President. Thank you all you conservatives who stayed home or voted 3rd party.

And now you all are going to do it again and hand the election to Obama.

Thankfully Obama is toast anyway because the economy has already beaten him. Romney is a lock for president. It is a done deal.

The BuzzFeed piece predicts a “chemical warfare campaign, the war to end all wars” but doesn’t offer specifics on what that might translate to.

It means he is going to spray uric acid all over the white male population and hope that motivates everyone else to pile on at the polls. :)

You need to change your name to fatANDlazy, because, if you had bothered to look, you would know that no Republican voted for Obamacare in either house of Congress. It was an entirely partisan piece of legislation.

Whatever.

Now, perhaps you should talk to a professional about your anger issues.
