The Myth of the Obamacans by Ed Morrissey at HotAir.com
(Just trying to preempt those who can hardly wait to post "already posted" -- I searched and this article has not been posted, at least not with this title)
OK -- now we can discuss this editorial. I have a hard time believing that Colin Powell would actually publicly endorse Obama.
No genuine conservative could possibly endorse or vote for Obama. As the article states, the Democrats and the MSM are trying to "make it acceptable" for Republicans and Independents to vote for Obama -- trying to send the message that Obama is "centrist enough" to be acceptable for Republicans and Republican leaning independents.
He is a capital-hating tax vampire with not the experience required to bake a cake. Add to that his race-baiting and inability to converse on any topic without a telepromter or a written speech in hand.
Except for McCain, who has no problems praising Obama.
McCain brings new meaning to the saying that "birds of a feather flock together."

If Obama is not the anti-Christ, he is certainly the anti-Reagan. Everything Obama stands for is 180 degrees from Reagan.
Centrist !!! LOL
“myth of “Obamacans” (as Mr Obama calls them) or “Obamacons” (as pundits do).”
Actually I think they are supposed to mean two different class of people: Obamacans are “Republicans for Obama” and Obamacons are “Conservatives for Obama”.
The only thing Obamacans and Obamacons have in common is that both are very rare to nonexistent.
Then there are the ObamaCONS, conservatives who refuse to support McCain, out of “principle”, even if that helps Obama — those are the ones who have been “conned” by the Dems’ “divide and conquer” strategy. Doing anything that helps socialist Obama get elected, resutling in turning over the entire country’s all three branches of the government to the Democrats, is NOT remotely consistent with “conservative principles”. As Rush Limbaugh said, you don’t win by losing, or something to that effect.

Why does the media lie so much like that?
I’m too busy clinging to my gun to pull the lever for Obama.
“No genuine conservative could possibly endorse or vote for Obama.”
I agree. Even if one were to take his post-primary flip flops at face value, Obama is offering nothing that I would consider appealing to conservatives. What conservative voter wants more taxes, staggering increases in domestic spending, staggering curtailment of military spending, counterproductive energy policy proposals, etc. ad infinitum?
Anyone who missed Ike’s granddaughter, Susie on FOX news a couple of days ago really missed a chance to see who Obamacans really are. She’s been supporting this knucklehead since 2003 but she still says she’s a “republican.” ROTFL! IMHO, she didn’t come across as being a very intelligent individual.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Chuck Hagel cross over as well. But who needs Hagel anyway? He's a lame duck in the Senate, largely because he badmouthed the effort in Iraq and probably realized he couldn't be renominated to his Senate seat.
Colin Powell was rumored by Bill Kristol on FOX News to be endorsing Obama and to be speaking at the 'Rat convention, but Powell himself quickly squelched that one.

That's funny -- I just lump them in with all of the other Obama supporters and term them "Obamorons".
In the suburbs of dayton ohio there are a lot of “goldwater conservatives” who are big Obama fans. I don’t get it.
Obamacans are the Potemkin Village of politics this election... a pretty shell with an empty core, created by the Obama campaign.
He's a centrist in the way Trotsky used the word.
Ping!!!
Please see my post # 18.
Every prez election we get stories in the media about “long-time Republicans” who are voting Dems for various reasons. They usually go something like this: “Gee, I’ve been a conservative Republican all my life. I taught Milton Friedman everything he knew about economics, but gosh darn it, Obama’s brand of socialist collectivism and redistribution so inspired me, I’ve decided to vote for him.”
