Is Barack Obama Really This Unpopular?
The weekly standard ^

Is Barack Obama Really THIS Unpopular? I wrote yesterday about Travis Childers, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Mississippi's first Congressional District. Childer's Republican opponent has been airing an ad that points out that Childers has received support from Barack Obama. In what seems a desperate attempt to preserve his general election chances, Childers has cut a stunning new ad:

Childers describes the association with Barack Obama as an attack. Is that what's in store for the likely Democratic presidential candidate from other Democrats in targeted districts? It's going to make for an awfully uncomfortable campaign if Obama gets such negative treatment from the candidates that Democrats are counting on to expand their Congressional majorities.

The special election is May 13.

The title you created "Travis Childers(MS-1 D)'s New Ad: I don't know Obama(another rat distances himself from Messiah)" was not the title at the linked source and had to be changed.

We're trying to reduce the number of duplicate threads. Please don't alter any published material. Just use the original title.

Thanks.

According to the Canadian media, it’s actually Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama.

Thia is why I think that freshman Congressman Heath Shuler (D, NC 11) can be beat in the general election. If I win the primary, now just days away, I expect to do just that. (He will also be in trouble with Hillary at the top of the ticket. Folks in western North Carolina don't cotton up to her, either.

"McCain, this is your election to lose."

And the way the RINO's have been going for the last 10-15 years or so Juan McCain just might find a way to frack it up and do it.

Have you seen the website myprivateballot.com ? Shuler cosponsored the union thug bill.

Hence the main reason I want to stop Obama now. Hillary is bad but Obama is downright scary.

Shuler has gone down the line with the unions, who gave him big bucks in 2006 and again in 2008. That and his essential support to elect Pelosi as Speaker, should doom him in the general, if I'm the nominee.

Childer's wife was in town at a function and was acting sooooo upset about the Obama link ad. There are a good number of yellow dog Democrats that are voting for Childers because he is a Democrat and he promises them more funding for their government jobs whereas Davis is a Republican and sees pork...

I was admonished by the Democrats here because they said I should be for the candidate that promises money for the area and not one that will fight against pork spending and for a desirable outcome in the war against the Islamofasists.

Probably the witch’s only saving grace is that I reckon she would fight like hell if we were attacked on her watch and she had no political purpose to act contrarian like now...though she did and still does to a degree support the war.

She sure fights to get elected with more balls than any man I’ve seen since Nixon.

but other than that she is Lady MacBeth but all Mac and little Beth.

There are a lot of Democrats descended from those who backed Reagan 28 years ago that do want the government pork programs. They also want secure borders and national defense. Many of these have long voted Democrat for Congress and will do so if the ticket is headed by Oprah’s Obama, as they did when it was headed by Carter and the popular Walter F. Mondale!

Also agreed. I sure hope he picks a decent V.P. but I’m not holding my breath.

I must say that Shuler has been working closely with those of us in the immigration movement, which has caused him grief with Pelosi and the Dem hierarchy. His sponsorship of the SAVE Act has been a major plus.

Numbers USA gives Shuler an overall grade of A-. . Do you know what has given Shuler religion on this issue?

Shuler knows that the SAVE Act is going nowhere. He admitted in a Christmas party for the Macon County Sheriff (the Sheriffs are the bedrock of local politics, here) that "Nancy Pelosi will never let that bill get out of Committee."

Furthermore, 29 of the 38 Democrat Members of the House who signed on as co-sponsors of the Bill, have refused to sign the Discharge Petition that would force it onto the floor. Speaker Pelosi has made it clear that she'll hurt the Democrats who sign that Discharge.

Although the SAVE Act is pretty good, were it to pass, its presentation with an election coming up is a fraud, pure and simple. Shuler wants to appear conservative -- as do a couple dozen other Blue Dog Democrats. But they all know that the Bill is dead as a duck, courtesy of Nancy Pelosi, whom they voted to put in charge of the House as Speaker.

Sometimes frauds are played out in public, in front of God and everybody. Shuler has voted 81% of the time with Pelosi, and nearly 100% with the national unions, who bankrolled him in 2006, and again in 2008.

Fear of being defeated for reelection has caused Shuler to pretend to get religion on this issue.
