Why are top republicans and conservatives endorsing Obama over McCain?

Question

http://www.republicansforobama.org/?q=node/3341

The answer is clear to me but I wanted to know what others think. We just cant have 8 more years of the same. But besides that the
Mc Cain has ran a dirty erratic campaign changing themes and ideas. Palin as a VP choice really hurt McCain.

What do you think??

Go Obama 2008!!!!

Answer 1

To quote a great American: "It depends on what the definition of " is " is.



In that vein, it depends on what the definition of 'campaign' is.



Evidently McWacko and McSwilla's own campaign workers and staff are sending personal resumés around as they see more and more prominent Republicans backing Obama.



As 'Tater' says: "You can't fix stupid." And THAT'S the death knell for Sarah Palin. If she is the best that McShame can come up with, and is indicative of his thought processes --or LACK of them-- the handwriting is on the wall and the few Republicans who can actually read and have more than one tooth to brush are tired of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.



R.I.P., John and Sara, we'll miss having you to throw pies at. Idiots.

Answer 2

Can't you figure it out?



Look at John McCain, the Senate Republican who voted against George Bush more than any other Republican except for Lincoln Chafee, who was the only Republican who voted against the Iraq War and really wanted to be a Democrat but was forced to be a Republican because he inherited the Senate Seat from his father who was in the GOP and was required to stay in the party or his state would lose its funding. By simply saying that McCain = Bush (they HATE eachother) the Democrats and the media ruined his career.



Almost all of them (except Colin Powell) are jumping ship so history won't tie them to Bush. Its totally self serving, none of them support Obama really, they just figure he will win anyway. Look how they are all doing it at the last minute, its just to promote their own careers and posterity. Newsweek ran an article saying Colin Powell actually decided on Obama months ago and intentionally waited until the last couple of weeks to screw up McCain and stick it to Bush and the Republicans.



You're way too overconfident in Obama. The Clintons are worried sick about how inexperienced he is, and after Gordon Brown met him he said, "He's a typical young liberal American politician, he's very intelligent and might have been a good president in another four years but he doesn't know what he's talking about right now."



Palin as a choice did not hurt McCain, if he'd picked anyone else he'd be down 20-30% right now. I know you probably use the bogus New York Times polls that say its 13%, its really more like 3-4%, the Obama campaign is screaming too much about how people have to go out and vote like he's the underdog and Karl Rove says McCain can still win. Sarah Palin can do what no other VP would do, get evangelicals and conservative Republicans out to go vote. And thats why they leftwing media has tried to discredit her. At least McCain's VP knows how many letters are in the words J-O-B-S.



If Obama had picked a better VP (I can think of one) this election would have been over two months ago, no matter what. He's all hype, if he wins you'll see.

Answer 3

You are spitting out Obama talking points like you really believe them. McCain could not be more different than Bush--just look at the record! As far as endorsements are concerned, consider the fact that McCain has been endorsed by FIVE former secretaries of state. Obama, only one, Colin Powell. If you add that over two hundred top generals also endorsed McCain, then the endorsement race is not even close! The reason that you may not have known any of this is that the media will not touch it. It makes McCain look too good, and that does not sit well with their chosen narrative: Obama is the one!

Answer 4

i think it is clear every one knows and every one has seen that the republican party favors only the rich and the white...... and under there own policy it has failed over and over and over again... and majority of what use to be the right and white are now dirty and poor... they proved themselves wrong... bush was the beginning of the end of the republican party several have said it themselves..... majority of the republican party have jumped party's.... there policy makes no sense..... give more to the rich so they can hire more of the poor problem was giving more to the rich and the rich were keeping it.... democrate policy makes more sense give more to the poor and they can buy more.....creates more money makes more jobs.... give more to the poor more education more chances in life more opportunity.... we came to this country for opportunity not suppression by fear mongering....... mccain camp has not been able to keep a story the whole time they change directions every week and then once they find some thing so stupid as joe the plumber they wont shut up about it when most people see palin spending 150.000 on a purse joe the plumber is out of the water... mccain standing in a crowed of hundreds of people chanting get him kill him he is a terrorist..... doesn't make for good media when majority of america no longer believes that way ... equality of life the american dream..... freedom of religion the american dream... freedom of speech the american dream they call themselves the choice of patriots then they say you have a muslim dream your a terrorist,,,,, you have black skin your not american... your not christian your a spawn of satan and a which ? what are we in the 1800's every one has changed party's including the republicans every one deserves a chance....every one deserves freedom





Obama 08

Answer 5

i might say that ninety 5% of the on an common basis newspapers are left leaning guides. So it in basic terms seems logical that Obama might have an significant extra suitable form of papers boosting their help for him then McCain does. I additionally think of that it truly is exceedingly ridiculous to think of that the full of the readership of each and every paper helps a similar candidate because of the fact the paper itself. in basic terms seems to be somewhat attaining based on the object itself, it form of feels like McCain has an abnormally extra suitable form of supporters, 25%, instead of in basic terms the 5% that declare to be not left leaning. hmmm EDIT - Admittedly ninety 5% could be slightly a stretch or an over exaggeration for occasion my element. A majority of the on an common basis newspapers are admittedly left.

Answer 6

Except for Colin Powell and Susan Eisenhower, most people on the street wouldn't recognize those names. As for Powell, the last thing he endorsed was the Iraq war which is cause for questioning the value of his endorsement. As for Susan Eisenhower, hers is the most dubitable excuse I've ever read for endorsing a racist ex-crackhead Marxist. Obama wants to suck the opportunity for social mobility from the entire population by getting people to believe that any individuals success is earned at the expense of one of the societal parasites who support him.



As for that silly Democrat chant about the 90% voting record with President Bush, the fact that he is a Republican does seem a rather valid reason for that statistic while none exists for Obama's non-existent Senate accomplishments.

Answer 7

Because everyone can see the damage of a bad train wreck. Only people who chose to be blind cannot see. The last 8 years, the evidence of horrible economic policies, the worst vp choice in the history of the presidential elections and the most disgusting and dishonorable presidential campaign in the history of elections.

Answer 8

Palin is an idiot that's why alot of conservatives have switched support for Obama! If thats the best McCain can come up with as a VP pick then no wonder they are going for Obama!!

Answer 9

Because the Choice is so Glaring, even moderate Republicans have to admit that Barack Obama is a better pick than Old Man McCain... :)

Answer 10

I think it has to do with 2 things. Palin and McCains negative campaign....well and also that he would run the country like Bush did, so I guess there are 3 things.

Answer 11

Republicans are not just walking away from McCain ... they are running as fast as possible. They see truth and do not want 8 more years.

Answer 12

Simple Sarah

Answer 13

You know, there just really is no way to keep "sleepers" from the other party getting into your party and biding their time until they're needed.



As far as being "erratic" and "changing themes all the time" I think you must have McCain confused with your dark-horse's-@$$ in this race.



I seem to remember Bro'bama stating he could no more repudiate

dear reverend "god-damn the United States" wright than he could

"Toots"...



Then when it became apparent the electorate were not comfortable with someone as president who would refuse to repudiate someone who'd

called down damnation from on high on their nation, he did repudiate

the bastard.



Too little too late.



He's waved around in the prevailing wind on the surge, he's answered

a candidate survey that he'd outlaw private ownership of guns but

now that he's running for office covering the WHOLE country

says he believes in what the Supreme Court just narrowly ruled--

the 2nd Amendment refers to an individual Right of Man.



This prick flip-flops more than a green sunfish tossed up on the bank.



And his policies stink about as much as the fish would after sitting on the

bank in the sun for a day or so-----B. hussein O.



B. O.



P.U.



Colin Powell is a bigot-vote caster and he's deluded/misinformed that

B. hussein O. is, like him, a NEGR0. B. hussein O. is an afro-arab/white

half-breed. That's why he plays the race card from the bottom of the

deck every opportunity he gets---to give himself the protective cover

of appearing to be a NEGR0 by emulating their typical behavior.



He really has more in common, heritage-wise, with the people who wandered

the african continent buying and shipping the ancestors of modern-day

U.S. NEGR0ES to the west coast of africa so the ancestors of people like

"Uncle Joe" LIEberman and Abraham Foxman could ship them here to

unsuspecting plantation owners who were led to believe they would make

good laborers.



How the hell do you lose a war when you've got slave labor to work for your war effort on the home front?



I can't answer for what some neo-bolshevist demonrat "sleeper" said.



We all know large numbers of demonrats deserted their party during the two successful Reagan elections.



And since we're constantly regaled with this clip of McCain stating that he'd voted with his President 90% of the time, and since many votes upon which the administrations may have an opinion may be items of little or no interest to anyone but some special interest group, why is it the people constantly referring to this statistic AREN'T telling us what the ten percent

divergence was? Was it on matters people seeking "change" would

consider to be substantive change in the features of the current administration they find unattractive?



The answer to that last question is they don't know, they don't care.



They wave around their favorite figure-of-merit like a consumer electronics

salesman of the late '70s would repeat the "total harmonic distortion" of some hunk-of-junk amplifier he was trying to sell you.



Has anyone ever noticed how the arguments of the demonrats usually come down to some quantity or another, rather than dealing with qualities?



That's because they don't have any, to speak of.



Now let's amend this answer with some ammo from your own reference:



One guy says he guesses.



Powell is going on about "the world state"... B. hussein O. is not running for head-of-state of a world state. Powell must be even

more addled than I'd thought. Maybe he's got BSE.



They've got a guy named Adelman on there---gosh, can we guess

he was counting on having a guy named LIEberman one trigger-stroke from the Presidency?



Hagel's wife is going on about "slurs". Nobody's been tossing

slurs at Bro'bama from the McCain campaign--that was me. Does

the stupid **** think I work for McCain? Evidently she believes

Bro'bama's lies that McCain's only issue is that he (B.hussein O., otherwise known as B.O.) has "a scary-sounding name".



What could be more scary-sounding than McCain? Sounds like someone who's going to shoot you with a sawed-off lever action rifle or hit you with a rattan for misbehavior.



As far as Christopher Buckley's pronouncements about B. O.'s potential to be "great" I will counter with a line from a cornered

Louis Farrakhan ---"--greatly evil"



As for Smerconish, the idea of this phony-black hack unifying anything is the most ridiculous proposition I think I've ever heard.

The man cannot even unify his own viewpoints.



Eisenhower has the brilliant reason that he's not old. Some of the

very cultures around the world of the nations everyone is up-in-arms Bush has supposedly hurt our cause with revere *their* elders, but

since they hate us, they don't want us doing what they feel is a successful strategy and revering ours... Whose side is she on anyway? Wasn't her father allied with Stalin?



Well, that's enough of beating you up with your own club for now.

Maybe more later. I have an old B&W movie to watch off VHS.

Answer 14

Even the rest of the world is for Obama.....so many people cannot all be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think there are beginning to be more left wing Republicans....and they are burned out on the old right wing BS!!!!

Answer 15

Because of Obama girl

Answer 16

I'd rather take 8 more years of Bush than 1 day of Obama...



He's a fake and he doesn't even have the gonads to answer tough questions from the press.



He's a coward, plain and simple.

Answer 17

They realize that McCain is senile and Palin is a moron, and their consciences won't let them vote for McCain.

Answer 18

Because they know that McCain and Palin are a joke!



Obama/Biden 2008!

Answer 19

Because they know a winner when they see one, they also know that old man McInsane is not up for the job.

Answer 20

I think that this happens whenever a political party has a currently seated and dramatically unpopular lame duck president. They're thinking of their careers, trying to distance themselves from the idiot they endorsed because, like most Americans, they lack the brains to do the right thing under more normal circumstances.



For the record, Obama and McCain are both idiots.

Answer 21

Because we might be silly, but we ain't stupid.

Answer 22

You mean Republicans still think? Show me a Republican who will think, and I will show you a Republican who is very depressed.

Answer 27

They think McCain has lost it if he ever had it.

Answer 28

Because they are intelligent people who have looked at both sides objectively.

Answer 29

Because Obama is the antichrist and they want to vote for him so then the rapture can happen and they can have an RV in heaven

Answer 30

Hey, if McCain has John Elways endorsement, that's enough for me.



That list is nothing compared to McCains endorsements. Check them out:

Answer 31

I don't think they have seen this web site by Obamas fellow democrat!
