Sean Hannity and Obama

I wonder which one Hannity pledges allegiance to.

 

Your last paragraph makes good sense, the first one I am not so sure. For those who continue to support the Republican Party, are in effect, saying, lets all vote for a liberal to keep another liberal from being elected.

As long as we keep electing the same, old, tired power structure, we are going to get the same results.

 

I'm not a big "I told you so" kind of guy, but toward the end of the Bush administration, as the Democrats were rocketing left to the point of lunacy with the Republicans firmly in tow, I predicted an Obama victory (in all fairness, it wasn't exactly going out on a limb as it was becoming more and more obvious).

I then stated that Obama and the Democrates and their followers and hangers on would eventually move so far to the left and become so disconnected with the American people that their own Democrat followers would wake up and leave them.

Now, we're seeing more and more Republicans leave the GOP for more conservative pastures and more and more Democrats testing the waters of conservatism..

My next prediction is that these disillusioned Dems and Republicans are going to meet to form a coalition that's really going to set both parties back on their heels in the coming years.

 

I think that is realistic. I know a lot of conservative-minded people who were Republican faithfuls who voted for Obama in 2008. Many Republican voters were sick of Bush Republicans trampling on the Constitution with condescending pushes for draconian legislation that reeks of police state tactics. Many were lured over to a charming and promise-making Obama. Luckily, I knew that he, like Clinton, would make election promises and keep none of them and that he would only make the economic situation worse. I voted for a third-party candidate for the first time ever in 2008.

The fact that Obama has "lost" a lot of support does not reflect a full transition from "liberal" ideology to "conservative," but rather that Bush-disenfranchised conservatives who voted for Obama realize that he was not what they really wanted.

 

And which of us in 2000 would have known that the "compassionate conservative" would have created the monstrosity that is "No Child Left Behind." This type of thing comes right out of the liberal education policy playbook. Who knows what McCain would have done. Since he enthusiastically supported the bailouts along with Bush, who knows what he would have bowed to if the economic "crisis" brought enough pressure.

We need to stop support Republicans just because they have an "R" in front of their name on ballots. This doesn't mean a hill of beans anymore. If we want a Republican, we need to find one who actually understands the laws of economics, moral hazzard, unintended consequences, and policies that don't just make things appear good enough to guarantee a reelection. We need someone who understands the Constitution (you know, that document that one must swear to defend and uphold as qualification for office) and real, conservative economics, such as the Austrian school.

 

Agreed.
To get the change we need..... we must stop thinking in terms of party and start thinking, voting, working, and supporting our principals. Most politicians.... even those considered 'conservative' ..... good ole Newt.... are globalist and that means a socialist/ liberal/ big government bent no matter how they stroke it.

 

New York has nothing to do with Kentucky. Kentucky is a solidly conservative state, New York is liberal. The reason I belong to the Constitution Party is the state of the two major parties nationally, not locally. Most here are conservative regardless of party. A fusion ballot, no thanks. Why would one want a fusion ballot with one of the two major parties that have got this nation to where it is?

I totally disagree with the premise that one must run for office to be involved in the direction this country takes. There are many other forms of service, such as being involved in the party to which you belong, being involved in your community to give younger people a sense of civic pride, and countless other things besides being a candidate for office.

 

Excellent post. Until things change from the same choice a and b nonsense, nothing is going to change. The last thing this country needs are Republican apologists. (except for Democrats)

 

That is because you failed to look into the circumstances that got him elected. The former Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher's administration was riddled with scandal. If you would hate to think what is liberal, look at the clowns running your state government, and your Congressional delegation. It seems to me before you post, you should study.

Kentucky has two Republican senators, and five of the six Congressmen are Republican. Not that I consider that a badge of honor, but compared to your state, it is the difference between Marxism and captialism.

You make lots of political posts, and start lots of threads, but in reality, they do nothing towards bringing this country back to being governed by the Constitution. A "fusion" ballot between a conservative that will never win and a liberal Republican accomplishes nothing.

It would not hurt this nation one iota to give New York, Massachussetts, New Jersey and a few other states to China to pay for the national debt.

 

Imagine that.
