A Conservative for Obama

Obama has worked hard to pretend he’s some kind of centrist. He’s personally one degree removed from Chavez and seems close to every left wing nut of note in the US.

World citizens, whooop-de doo! We’re all world citizens now! OK so maybe I’ll go hang out in the South of France for a while, I’m sure the gendarmes won’t mind!/s;)

[BGHater]

Heh...I wasn’t implying one was. Write in someone, I will.

[sofaman]

"...I need to explain why I am a conservative and what it means to me."

Apparently not much.

[EyeGuy]

Fact: This self-important deep cover liberal, has ONE vote.

Prediction: He will influence exactly ZERO Republicans to vote for the Race-Marxist.

[Hugin]

What an idiot.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

You are so Spot On in your analysis of why Obama is basically being worshiped by drive-by voters.

Its okay to be pastored by Jeremy Wright.

Its okay to be friends with William Ayres.

Its okay to sit down face to face with a holocaust denying anti-semitic lunatic leader of a racial shia theocracy.

Its okay to rally a political base around common hatred for Palin and Bush and call it Unity.

Its not okay to be a Christian Governor from Alaska.

Its not okay to talk to Fox news.

Its not okay to talk in a dignified way about the President of the United States.

Its not okay to remove a murderous dictator from power.

Its not okay to affirm the success of our soldiers.

Never heard of Wick Allison. Is he a plant?

Since he’s from Texas, his one little vote for the Marxist really is going to mean much in the overall scheme of things.

Obama is the new Reagan only to those who vote based on perceived charisma--if they believe Obama's force of personality is evidence he'd be an effective communicator and leader.

It's like voting for Most Popular. Forget the man's ethics and politics, as long as he'd accomplish SOMETHING, he's good. Forget that this "something" would be higher taxes, more Mommy Government, the US bending over for every other nation on Earth--hey, he got his programs through Congress! WOW!

This is the lowest form of the Cult of Personality. I guess this guy'd vote for Stalin, since he seemed to get a lot done and had movies made about him and such.

I bet if he were honest, this guy would admit his dream president is the one on The West Wing.

[ken21]

ditto.

i see this stupid stuff in the newspapers and i hear it on the talk radio shows.

[blackbart.223]

"The device used here is the CHANGE mantra.

This is the part that mysitfies me. Obama is offering the same tired old bullshit we have heard since "The New Deal" and if I may be so bold longer than that bit of nonsense. The problem here is far too many people that lack a grasp of history are buying in to this fairy tale.

Change my ass, it's just more of the same.

[ari-freedom]

I don't know if he is a conservative or not...but no real American can support this guy:

[LibLieSlayer]

“I was a lifelong Republican”... "the checks in the mail"... "baby, I promise I will not"... yeah... just another pathetic lie. NO CONSERVATIVE could back osamabama... no Conservative could ever look Ronald Reagan in the eye and explain that vote... so NO TRUE CONSERVATIVE could ever be for a black liberation theology radical, muzzie, marxist POS! This guy was never Conservative to begin with. If he claimed to have been... he is a liar.

Contrary to what some are posting, Wick's conservative credentials up until this endorsement are quite good.

There are so many puzzling things about this column I guess I'm thinking Alzheimer's; he actually faults George W. Bush -- no movement conservative -- for conservatism's failures. Huh?

How a lifelong conservative and observant Roman Catholic can embrace an alleged human being who believes that children who survive an abortion and are born alive aren't entitled to the full protection of the state is a mystery that only God and the morally deficient Mr. Wick can ultimately answer, but if Obama's fiscal and economic policy prescriptions aren't enough his support for infanticide alone is disqualifying -- or should be to any believer whose faith hasn't come completely off the rails.

Obama has worked hard to pretend he’s some kind of centrist.

Exactly his strategy heretofore.

He’s personally one degree removed from Chavez and seems close to every left wing nut of note in the US.

Exactly the truth. How are people not seeing what their own eyes and common sense should be screaming at them? Nobody has that many acquaintances who hate America and have proved it in word and deed, without having something in common with them.

[dr_who]

How do you know he’s even a man and not just a wooden decoy?
