“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.
Please see post 3 “just say no to McCain” as illustration of ObamaCONS I just described in my post 6.
I've called them the Suicide Conservatives. have a suicide pact where we screw up the GOP and give the Democrats their clear majority and something good will supposedly come out of it. So they won vote for McCain. I'd have to have one of these guys sharing a foxhole with me, but they are on 'our side' supposedly.
The thinking is that imperfect Republicans get purified when they lose. Oh and America will somehow reject Leftism once it is implemented. Hogwash.... ALMOST ALL THE LIBERAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE LAST 100 YEARS HAPPENED IN JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS: the mid 1930s, the mid1960s, the mid 1970s, 1992-1994, and - maybe - the next 2-4 years. And often the damage is not repairable at all. They create a socialist client program and it cannot be ripped out - ever. Look at the welfare state - which dept or program ever gets canned? Did the great Reagan get rid of any of them? Nope!
OUR GOAL IN 2008 IS TO STOP THE LEFTWING TRIUMPH. We can muddle through a middle-of-the-road guy. But 2 years of leftism will mean decades of cleanup.
