Krauthammer voted for, and supported, Obama and now
is back-pedaling for his endless past affection for the sociopathic narcissist Marxist imposter.

Unchanged, Krauthammer now “votes” for Death Panels
and more sociopathy.
The irony is that functioning ObamaCARE would have ended
Krauthammer’s career - if not his life.

I don't think he did vote for Obama but he was less than enthusiastic about McCain

Amazingly, he sees the massive GOP gains in the House and the Senate as a silver lining for Obama that will help him in much the same way the GOP takeover in 1994 helped Clinton

Here's the reason Krauthammer is wrong about this.

Clinton had a massive MSM to help him lie his way through and help "spinning" (a term which means "lying" and was invented during Clinton's tenure) to come to its ascendancy.

Of course we still have the MSM, BUT now the NEW MEDIA has caught everyone's attention and they are LISTENING. They are not buying every word the MSM says about the "evil Republicans" anymore and they are not buying the lies about the Tea Party. The more they hear about the Tea Party the more they are liking it!

Obama's doomed.

So, who among us at FR wasn't less than enthusiastic about McCain? I had to hold my nose to vote for him.

Krauhammer is not a conservative. He is an elitist, first and foremost. He is repelled by Palin becasue she is not an elitist but a populist. He is attracted to Obama because Obama IS an elitist.

The fact that he appraises Obama as “highly intelligent” makes me question either his honesty or his perceptiveness. In either case, it means I take every Krauthammer column with a large grain of salt. I don’t care how many Harvard degrees he has.

Your grasp of Krauthammer is spot on.

Excellent analysis all the way around.

“”Obama is down, but it’s very early in the play. Like Reagan, he came here to do things. And he’s done much in his first 500 days. What he has left to do he knows must await his next 500 days — those that come after reelection.”

Holy moly. The difference is that Reagan improved the country. Obama is making it worse. That bit is barf inducing.

Krauthammer voted for, and supported, Obama

Link beats non-link every time. Wrote Krauthammer on Friday, October 24, 2008:

Contrarian that I am, I'm voting for John McCain. I'm not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it's over before it's over. I'm talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they're left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years.

I stand athwart the rush of conservative ship-jumpers of every stripe -- neo (Ken Adelman), moderate (Colin Powell), genetic/ironic (Christopher Buckley) and socialist/atheist (Christopher Hitchens) -- yelling "Stop!" I shall have no part of this motley crew. I will go down with the McCain ship. I'd rather lose an election than lose my bearings.

What's to disagree with in the above?

I don't think he did vote for Obama but he was less than enthusiastic about McCain. He voted for McCain, and actually was fairly contemptuous of Republicans who did vote for Obama. He thought, despite McCain's flaws, that the GWOT made a vote for him necessary.

i don’t know if you’re entirely nuts, but your post is entirely nutty. if you do not follow krauthammer regularly, you cannot know what he thinks or says. and you are just about entirely mistaken.

your logic is 16 ounces shy of a pint, too — by your reasoning, reagan’s having been a democrat and a union official would confirm that he was not a conservative.

thanks for playing.

A stinging analysis. I like Krauthammer. But I cannot find any flaw in your piece. It hurts... as truth always does.

Thanks. Today is the 30th anniversary of Reagan accepting the GOP nomination in Detroit. When I see an old Mondale hand like Krauthammer presuming to define “Reaganism” and pronouncing it dead based upon a series of fallacies, it just makes me mad.

Krauthammer told Sarah to leave the room, then proceeded to attack the very death panels she pointed out. The man is nothing more than a beltway hack with globalist tendencies.

I have never understood the reverence so many conservatives have for Krathammer. He is at best a neocon (liberal on social issues) and definitely an elitist, yet so many conservatives hold him in awe.

In 2013, the GOP will almost certainly have more than 60 senate seats and a filibuster will not be able to stop the outright repeal.

I wish I could share your optimism. The GOP hasn't had anything close to 60 senators in something like 90 years. I'd have to look it up. I'll even go back to the days of 48 states to see if the GOP ever had even 58. I rather doubt it.
