Did you read the article and get to the point about him being the Black Ronald Reagan?
Personally, although I think the headline is quite silly, I have no trouble believing that Bush’s 2004 campaign strategist would hesitate supporting Democrats. Since 2002, Bush’s political incompetence has been nothing short of breath-taking.
In my 50 years following politics, I have never seen any meaningful coverage in the MSM about defections from the Democrats to a GOP candidate prior to an election. Look at their non-coverage of Zell Miller.
I agree. There is no way in the world that anyone who was truly conservative and an advocate of personal responsibility, personal freedoms, limited government, and with a respect for individual self-determination would join the Obama camp. Most likely they found people who for one reason or another have personal agendas, personal grudges etc. that they are trying to settle by hurting the president or the party. Especially when, as the article discusses, some of these people were in the McCain camp. I’m quite sure many of the McCainenites were highly liberal to begin with, and many were probably democrats prior to joining the McCain camp. Means little or nothing. Ever wonder about why you never hear in the media about previous democrats becoming Republicans?
He’s magical as was the Pied Piper but only RATS followed the Piper, nothing new now no matter how The Sunday Times wants to portray it.
That’s ridiculous.
I think it’s simply that the Dems have got a couple of (for them) strong candidates out of the gate, and we have nobody. Sorry, I hate to say it, but there’s not a single GOP candidate that I could vote for without (a) knowing he was a loser or (b) feeling I was violating my conservative principles.
That said, I bet neither Hellary nor the Magic Hussein will be the Dem candidate. I’m betting on them to wipe each other out, and the candidate will be....ta dah...Al Gore.
The Daily Kos nuts are all over this story. Hoping they can fool some dumb Republicans long enough for Obama to get in.
>> But in an article in the Washington Post, Kagan wrote approvingly that a keynote speech by Obama at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs was “pure John Kennedy”, a neocon hero of the cold war. <<
All I can figure is that Kagan equated “pure John Kennedy” with “pure bull$h!+.”
I helped Bill Clinton get in when I voted for a big-winded, third-party nutcase because I didn’t like what the GOP was offering that year. Boy, I’ll never make THAT mistake again.
Republicans defecting to the Marxist camp are RINOs, not conservatives. I don’t vote for Marxist dimocrats or liberal/socialist RINO republicans.
If these are the castrated members of the GOP that have been cringing under their desks by the charging Democrats, we have lost nothing. The Republican Party needs men of courage and honor. The RINO’s in congress just don’t fit that description.
From just reading the snippet, shouldn’t the news title be “2 Republicans Defect to the obama Camp”?
Yeah, yeah. . . and supposedly Reagan voted for Clinton. Anyone going for Obama may have been a Republican, but they sure ain’t no conservative!

Guess you are right, but if Al could have had the votes counted 3 or 4 more times perhaps he could have won.
