Re: Democrat Hypocrisy?

But I think supporting Bush on almost everything is a mere political ploy to get Bush supporters on board. I see it as a lack of principles every bit as bad as Obama and a potentially MAJOR blunder on the part of his advisors. It's not as if Bush won by a landslide last time and many of his former supporters are unhappy with him today. In the end, it's like I said. A politician's principles and values are always for sale these days. In effect, after the primaries our choices have turned into NO real choices.

Re: Democrat Hypocrisy?
If I recall correctly, both of them were on TV in debates praising each other during their primary bids as well. It's not as if it was a non-stop mudslinging fest. Both said that the other was more suitable for President than John McCain. No hypocrisy.

Also, Obama has been telling us, all along, that he stands for "change". What "change"? He's doing the exact same thing that damn near every politician in Washington has done, does, and will do. They were at each others throats through the primaries. Now, suddenly, Hillary's wonderful. The only people who seem stupid enough to buy his bullshit are, well, Democrats...

I shit you not, an Obama spokesman admitted flat out....."We (meaning campaigners and journalists) don't buy it but maybe voters will buy it". WTF?????? He then said they were just hoping to put on a show in hopes that people would eventually come to their senses and back Obama. Truth is neither Hillary nor Obama has been honest during this election cycle. Obama doesn't have the leadership traits to be individualistic and all he will be is a radical-left yes man for the Democrat leadership changing his belief which ever way the wind blows. He's always going to try to do what he thinks "Looks" good, not what "Is" good for this country. So don't expect any change other then a constant errosion of our liberty's. One day we will wake up and nothing will mean anything anymore. Laws will be pretty much up to debate no matter how important they are. Too many of his supporters don't like this country and the way it has been run......many of them have lived outside our laws and they want them changed. If a powerful enough Democrat decides he or she doesn't like a law, they'll just ignore it. Then it will be up to the offended party to have to take them to court to force them to follow our laws. Soon nobody will care about laws or respect authority anymore. You want to see this country go down the crapper real quick just let Obama get in the White House. That is the change we can expect. The only thing keeping all of this in check right now is the few people that are left in Washington that are half-assed decent. Soon those will be gone as well.

The guy says he represents "change". He talks a good game, but he's done nothing to indicate that "change" is on his mind. He's business as usual, and Democrats are swallowing it...

... being a "stupid Democrat" what more would you expect? It couldn't be possible that I might be informed on the issues, have examined the candidates positions on what needs to be done about them and decided that Sen Obama is a far superior as the next leader of the free world, could it? After all, you are sooooooooooooooooooo much smarter than me, 'cuz I'm just one of those "stupid Democrats" who just can't see the wonderful state that the Nation is in, thanks to the brilliant leadership and policies of the GOP.

 For Obama to even ask is an insult, giving money to Hillary is a total waste, and in these times, money is something Obama shouldn't be asking people to waste.

Oh, and this seems to be something that Democrats need to be constantly reminded of, Bush isnt running. Constantly referring to him makes you all look pretty silly... Last edited by Steve; 06-28-2008 at 05:15 PM.

Re: Democrat Hypocrisy?
Why do people constantly preface their criticisms of Obama with, "This guy says he's all about change, but it looks like it's the same old politics."? Do people really think that's a winning strategy? All they're really saying is, "Look! This guy's just like the other guys. Now vote for my guy!" I'm surprised the GOP hasn't adopted the same Adlai Stevensonish political strategy that they've adopted with Iraq (i.e. "You Never Had it So Good"). Hell, they've almost got me completely convinced that we should stay in Iraq until they decide we should leave, regardless of who is in the Oval Office.
Change is just a slogan. Criticizing a slogan is laughable. As far as the topic goes, I think emptypepsi's explanation is as good as any...and a criticism of politicians from the same party, who participated in a hard-fought race to get the nomination, for joining together after the nomination has been decided reeks of desperation to accept any criticism possible.

What have the republicans invested in to propel us ahead of any technology curves? They could have advocated advances in boring technologies that could enable extracting natural resources from without nature preserves and drilling offshore, from onshore.
