I read today where Philadelphia talk show host Michael Smerconish has endorsed Obama. Michael also worked in the Bush Administration and has been a frequent guest host for Glenn Beck.
He will be paraded about as another "conservative" who is voting for Obama by the MSM.
This is not like voting for Bill Clinton in 96 or voting for a local Democrat for governor or Congress. Any national "conservative" who supports a Marxist like Obama and thinks it would be best for America to elect him along with a Congress controlled by Pelosi and Reid has either lost their mind or was never a true conservative to begin with.
They need to be told that we will not buy their books, not accept them as conservative pundits on radio or tv and that they will no longer be invited to speak at conservative conferences.
Too much is at stake in this election and anyone who helps turn America into a European Socialist state should not be supported by us in the future.
Trust me...I am working both Friday and Saturday at the GOP HQ in my town making calls...it’s crunch time and we need to fight the Marxist.
There may be few disturbed Republicans voting for Obama.
But not one conservative will vote for him. Not one.
A lot of “conservative” posers are showing their true colors now that their “messiah” from Chicago has arrived.
It’s so obvious that most of talk radio is pure showmanship. This is a wonderful housecleaning of those who are all show, no go. I will not forget them. Feigned loyalty and/or disloyalty are a couple of characteristics that make me want to puke.
if they dare show their face, tell them exactly what traitors they are....
payback is a dog.....
I heard Smirk filling in for Bill O Reilly’s show not long ago. In speaking about who McCain should pick as his VP, he was pushing for Tom Ridge. He said something like the pro lifers have to just get over it and do what is smart for victory. Conservative... I think not.
This Michael Smerconish needs to detail why he wants to diminish his and everybody elses’ living standards and political freedoms by voting for 0bama.
Smerconish has been on MSNBC for the last 6 months trashing everything McCain does. He is not a conservative.
I’m curious as to what motivates people like Smerconish. It can’t be ideology, since Obama can’t have much appeal to someone with conservative views.
Our conservative pundits are no different. Some are like Scalia, but we have plenty of prissy, preening narcissists who think they're oh so far above the common rubes out there. They're the ones who quickly capitulate when given the opportunity to commit the most grandiose act of conservative harakiri, namely to prostrate themselves before a leftist, multicultural, exotic black man. That's surely driving the likes of Kathleen Parker, Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, Christopher Buckley, and the like.
If you dont get it Googel Kapo/s
If Hillary had won the nomination, or Edwards or Biden or any of the others, I don’t think we’d be seeing this. But Obama’s race and his exotic multiculturalism...his racially-driven personality cultishness...is what’s appealing to the Parkers, Noonans, etc.
Some of them grew badly disillusioned with time. Others did die in the concentration camps before getting disillusioned...
After the 06 midterms, he said on the radio, and I paraphrase, “It looks like this area is moving to the left and that I've been out of step. I guess I need to change my views.”
That is not the statement of someone who has convictions or beliefs, but of an opportunist. He is trying to crank is ratings up in the Philly area. He's also an idiot who has the most superficial analyses I ever listened to. If his show were the only station I could receive, I'd move the dial and listen to static.
I agree. Very well stated. I would like to puke, also. On them.
Very well stated. Thank you. I've listened to him about 1/2 dozen times (I don't know how...I picked up his program on my car radio in Detroit scanning stations). He was very unimpressive.
Why would any conservative have voted for Clinton in 1996?
They need to be told that IF Obama is elected, and if the Obama administration costs me any money, they should fully reimburse me for their mistake.
I certainly wouldn’t have voted for Clinton in 1996. But my point was that I might can see where I could forgive someone for voting for a more moderate Democrat in some situations.
But the damage to the country will be so horrible if Obama gets elected that anyone who endorses or supports him has lost all credibility with me forever.
