How is wanting moderate dissafected rethugs to vote for Obama
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 10:06 PM by u2spirit
a sellout? Can Clinton supporters explain how any candidate from either party not getting a majority of independents and a smattering of the other party's vote win an election with the handful of purple states in play? If Hillary supporters can explain how this is bad, I will bow before them. HC supporters should tell uswhy she is the sure thing. She is behind in delegates and I see no reason to belive he won't win mor indies and repugs than her in a ge.

Getting disaffected Democrats to vote for the Republican candidate (Reagan in 80) is the reason the Republicans dominated our politics for the last 28 years.

(Sorry Clinton supporters, but Bill had no coattails and lost us ground while President.)

Obama is turning that metric back into our favor, and so help me if Hillary becomes the nominee it will drive those willing to vote Democrat for the first time away from our party forever.

HC supporters act like Reagan Democrats weren't important to the shaping of policy the last 28 years. Obama Rethugs could help swing the balance of power for a generation.

5. Clinton supporters make it seem
like any republican who wants to vote for Obama is a bad thing because it means HE is a sellout to the right wing. No one can win a GE without swing votes. HC will get about as many swing votes as I have had dates the last 7 months. FEW!

6. LOL!
There are plenty of republicans who are disgusted with *BushCo. Aren't we the ones with the big tent, after all.



Peace:thumbsup:
