Go Obamacans!

Rush Limbaugh is a joke. Yesterday he started saying that now he wants the Democrats to vote for Obama.

He was against him before he was for him.

The big flip-flopperroo.

What a joke.

I have a liberal friend in NH who has registered Republican and voted in their primaries for years just so she could vote for the least objectionable candidate. What Limbaugh did, however, asking his followers to vote for the LEAST acceptable candidate (to them) seems a tad un-American.

In contrast to what Joe Scarborough said this morning, I don't think is 'whining" to say that Limbaugh may have had an effect in Indiana. I suspect a lot of us are just looking at the numbers and making the observation.

If you want to talk where things are on the "whining" scale, let's just say that Hillary whining/observing that she might possibly be leading if the Dems had winner-take-all like the REPUBLICANS is a little higher on that scale. Don't ya think?

Just for balance Joe!

Morning Joe scoffed at the assertion that the Obama campaign, and his supporters, believe, given the polling after the Indiana vote, that a significant percentage of repubs voting for Hillary in order to extend the dem primary, gave her a win on the cheap.

As an ex-politicain, I wonder how Joe would have felt if this evil tactic had been employed against him when he was a candidate. How would Hillary feel?

Why would the GOP voters who said (6/10) that they thought she would have a better shot at beating McCain, why exactly were they voting for her? Is it possible that maybe they weren't being honest with the pollster?

Say it ain't so Joe.

Republican voters do play in affect. I have heard Rush urge his listeners for a while. I have also seen youtube video's of Republicans urging them to crossover and vote for Hillary because they felt she was weaker. This was when Texas was coming around to vote. They gave details of how to switch parties for each state, what number to call, and why it's important.

Why can't Hillary peel away some of those black working class voters from Obama? What is wrong with her message to them? How is she expecting to win in a General election when this, the most loyal democratic voting bloc in the last 40 years is not with her? Obviously, they won't vote republican, so why can't she woo a significant number of them?

Personally knowing several Republicans whose vote for Clinton was really a vote again Obama, I feel confident, without Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos", Obama would have carried Indiana.

America we need to stop looking at what people are saying; they are not the majority because if they were the "NUMBERS" would be different. The numbers states Obama is the nominee. We need to move on from this divisive interaction with "They say" and look at what the polls have said.

We will come together, even those who don't want to.

Do you know why?

Because, Obama said to tell the truth.

The truth is we are all part of this great land--no matter our individual opinions and prejudices. Like the man said, "I am imperfect."

But he is right, people, it is not about Obama, Clinton, or MCCAIN.

The real question is do we want to continue the war in IRAQ? With more dead and wounded.

Do we want to reward the rich and pull every spare dime there is out of the poor and middle class? (more Bush)

Do we want health care for all--or should we let, at least some of them, die in the streets?

What do we, the people, want?

Go ahead, you narrow minded individuals, go ahead and jump ship. Cut of your head to cure your headache--yes, that will make you feel better (or bitter) However, in the end you are only acting in a self-destructive way.

Surely, if Hillary had won, I would want her policy--not McCains! It doesn't matter that I find Hillary completely repulsive, and dishonest. Her policies are sound, and they are very close to Obama's, and they well help Americans! And they will help my friends, the soldiers! And they will help us all!
Those Policies will help our education and our economy. Those policies will determine and define all of us.

The rich, are rich for a reason. Special interest lobby for a reason. Politicians accept money from special interests for a reason! Obama's policies, the same in many ways as Clinton's policies, are this contry's great chance to change the course of our dependence on oil, on special interest, and on dirty politics in general. It's time to have a little discipline and not act like a spoiled brat.

It is time to come together as Democrats!

Republicans: Beware!

Brian M. De — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:20:37 GMT

I hate to say this but this statement is a contradicting statement .Also notable was that in Indiana, six in 10 Republicans who supported Clinton on Tuesday said they would vote for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain over Clinton in the fall, if that were the matchup. By contrast, most Republicans who voted for Obama said they would back him against McCain. And a slight majority of Republicans who voted for Clinton in Indiana told pollsters that she does not share their values, raising further questions about why they supported her.”

“But at least as much data suggested that many Republicans voted for Clinton because the Democratic primary was the more meaningful one and because they simply preferred her to Obama. In Indiana, about nine in 10 GOP Clinton voters said she would make a better commander in chief, and more than six in 10 said she would have a better shot at beating McCain
Read that again, it contradicts itself. If they voted for her now yet wont vote for her in the fall, yet say they believe she would beat McCain in the fall. Sounds like somebody pulling wool over eyes at the poles.

FedUpDem, Washington, DC — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:31:39 GMT

I have been reading statements from leading democrats such as Gary Hart and Ted Kennedy claiming that voters who have supported Clinton will be in the fold come November.

Wrong!

Democrat for life voting Republican slate hoping they retake the House, the Senate and the Presidency.

Hopefully, this will force my party to rebuild and restructure or cause the formation of a third party. I can not and will not support the senator from Illinois. I can no longer be a part of a party that has such great divisions and is about to take a sharp left hand turn away from the middle. I can not and will not support a man who attracts such vile hateful supporters. I can not support a man whose words I do not trust, a man who has shown no actions as a senator to excite me in any way about his ability to lead my party and be president of my country.

McCain and the Republicans in 08 so those of us abandoned by our party can find a new path, be it a rebuilt Democratic Party as this decade ends or a Third Party of left-centrists!!!!

Obama will win over many more Catholic voters once they learn the full details of McCain's sought-after endorsee Hagee. The Rev. Hagee has called the Catholic Church "The Great Whore," among other things.

Would she have won Indiana if we had known she lent her campaign $6 million in April? If she hadn't pandered with the gas tax holiday? If she hadn't had a popular ex-president criss-crossing the state speaking to white small-town voters? Finally, if he had beat her in Indiana, would she finally gracefully bow out? I guess we'll never know.

Repubs for Obama-what a guy!! — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:51:07 GMT

I heard the Repubs want Obama as the guy to beat up on. They believe he will be an easier mark and easier to beat. They have material on him we havent seen yet from what i have heard and I dont doubt it at all. I think some of those Repubs voted for Obama to help him out. Obama is there man. Hillary doesnt crumble like he does so watch for more help from Repubs for Obama.

Limbaugh is dumb, fat,idiotic, drug addict. Thanks for asking people to vote for Barack, the front runner. This shows just how those drugs have altered his perceptions.
He's getting more addicted, fatter, more of a windbag, and dumber.

Obama cannt say the same. His damage was done for his own ego hers for the Country. To bad he cannt see it.
