Obama's GOP Support Groups

I suppose I have to accept the insanity that some glassy-eyed Republicans are considering voting for Barack Obama, but I don't have to like it.

Whether or not this is an example of the liberal media trying to create rather than report news, The New York Times is reporting that small enclaves of Republicans are meeting around the country to discuss their support for Obama. Let's call them "support groups."

One such support group in Indiana is calling its attendees "whispering Republicans." Fittingly, these renegades, as the Times called them, met over iced tea and brownies, as if to signify the sweetness of their move toward the other party's "unity" candidate. At the meeting, they "took turns explaining why they liked Mr. Obama and recalling the strange stares from other Republicans."

Why would they call disapproving stares "strange"? I'd say they were perfectly normal, considering Obama's far-left plans for America.

One member of the Indiana kumbaya group reported: "It was sort of like a group therapy session. We all wanted to make sure we weren't a little crazy."

Real Republicans don’t have people over for tea and brownies. This sounds like a typical Democrat ‘meet-up’ bs.

Very, very small number of GOP groups supporting Obama. Moderately large number of former Hillary supporters going for McCain.

GOP Support Group.

So they have something like a 12-step program (to becoming whole again)?

Seriously. If you once identified or currently identify yourself as a Republican, and you are for Obama, you don't need a support group - you need treatment!

The people in the Obama support groups are probably like the two women I recently read about in a Wisconsin paper. Both women were long-time activists in the GOP but became disenchanted during the eighties and the rise of the religious right. That’s because both women were strong abortion-rights/Planned Parenthood members. So they left the party, and as a Wisconsin resident I say GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

There are people like this in every election. Check the numbers. There are always Republicans that vote democrat and dems that vote GOP. It's usually about 6 points of switchers either way and it is a wash. In this one there will be anywhere from 12 to 15 % of rats switching and about 6% of GOPers for a nice bounce for McCain.
