Come on Parsy, think about this.
First, Obama is the face of the Dems, there is no way he would be taken seriously by anyone on our side of the aisle as having had some sort of conservative epiphany.
Switching to the GOP would also lose him what is left of his shrinking base. He has already lost independents not because he is personally unpopular (though I can’t figure out why some still like him) but because of his political positions and decisions. He can’t, even by switching parties, divorce himself from his platform. The few Pub’s that still support him, all 10 of them, would drop off. Any switch to the right would ONLY benefit us, not the Dems.
Any GOP candidate that Obama would stump for would make more “converts” by disavowing ANY endorsement by Obama or his ilk. In today’s political climate Obama is the death-knell for those in his own party - why would anyone think he would be accepted into our side or be a benefit to any GOP candidate?
This would make a great novel and a fantastic Hollywood movie but in real life simply doesn’t pass any smell test. Sorry.
Uh, this is the same America that elected him in the first place. Thinkers would see right thru it, but what about the rest??? The GOP is always saying they are a “Big Tent.” And what party could reject the presidency for Heaven’s sake?? Oh no, Operation Albatross is brilliant in its simplicity and devastating in its potential.
The way I see it, the forum here at Free Republic has probably saved this foul, evil plan from being launched. We have saved America, and only those of here will probably ever know it.
parsy, who is feeling humbled just to have had a part in this
