Texas Republicans cross over to vote for Obama

For whatever reason, Baselice said, the movement toward Obama should be a warning to Republicans.

“Look, if Texas is a problem for Republicans, then it’s a disaster for the rest of the country,” he said.

Alex Johnson, minor league propagandist at MSNBC.

Pathetic liar should be embarrassed to cash his check, the real story is the McCain Democrats.

[The_Republican]

LOL!

[rbmillerjr]

“but they won’t in the general...does the MSM really think that any republican would support Obama? Please.”

The media is intoxicated with Obama, so yes, they are stupid enought to think that Republicans would vote for him.

[Hunble]

Huh? Maybe some FR pundit can explain this strategy.

Free Republic was created to expose Bill and Hillary Clinton and their White Water connections. Hillary Clinton must NEVER be allowed to become President!

So, why would this tactic be difficult to understand?

[SatinDoll]

He, Obama, won’t be elected if he is the nominee. Too many Democrats, Asian, Hispanic, and deep South Dems, won’t vote for a black man. I’m not the only one who has had liberals tell me - “no way will I vote for Obama!”

[Nervous Tick]

>> I live in Texas and this confuses me. We have a closed primary system.

I live in Texas. We have an OPEN primary system. If you have not voted yet this election cycle, you are free to choose a Dem or a Republican ballot.

[familyop]

Oh, and tell our Republican congressmen to stop voting in favor of laws like the VAWA for the likes of Hillary.

[avacado]

As a born and bred Texan... I don’t need MSNBC or any other Marxist-Inbred-Democrat toe-licker telling me what is going to happen in Texas!

When the RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD... Texas is voting REPUBLICAN! PURE RED! Baaaaaaaaaaaaby!

[Hunble]

Get the wicked witch out of the race as FAST as possible?

[SoConPubbie]

although viewed as useful in this instance, is allowing crossover voting in a primary really a good idea ?

Not if I was to have my way, especially for the GOP. As far as the Dems are concerned, I could not care less.

This practice is why we have McAmnesty as the presumptive nominee of the GOP.

If I lived in Ohio nd Texas I would vote for Obama. A chance to get rid (for 4 years atleast) a uniqely evil person in Hillary Clinton.

[buffyt]

Well the other day you could tell from how many people voted and what per centage were Democrat vs Republican, that there have been MANY MANY crossover voters. When four times more Democrats supposedly voted, you know a lot of Republicans crossed over. A friend of mine told me about this a long time ago. Crossover voting. When you know you can’t change your candidate, you crossover and screw the other side. Since we are STUCK with McCain, we want to get the crappiest candidate on the other side. And Obama is an empty suit. He has pudding for brains.

[Rome2000]

Alex looks a little light in the loafers.

[indcons]

What about the terrorist lover, Barack Hussein Obama?

[wildbill]

If they are gonna cross over, they should vote for Hillary.

Be a lot more fun to run against Hillary next fall.

[lowbridge]

One of Sen. Barack Obama’s surest applause lines comes about halfway into his standard stump speech. It goes like this: “They whisper to me. They say, ‘Barack, I’m a Republican, but I support you.’ And I say, ‘Thank you. Why are we whispering?’”

Baloney.

[buffyt]

I have had hispanics tell me that if Obama wins he will be killed just like JFK.

[Hunble]

Buffyt just said it best:

When you know you can’t change your candidate, you crossover and screw the other side.

He, Obama, won’t be elected if he is the nominee. Too many Democrats, Asian, Hispanic, and deep South Dems, won’t vote for a black man. I’m not the only one who has had liberals tell me - “no way will I vote for Obama!”

Wrong, I lived in Virginia when Gov. Wilder was elected, white people will fall over themselves to prove (and tell the world) they are not racist - so they for a black person regardless of what he stands for.

[Twink]

I have two friends in Texas who are voting for Obama in the primary (they’re conservative republicans). They figure McCain is already the repub nom (and they don’t care much for him so their vote won’t count on the repub side) so they’re going to try to get hillary out (they really don’t care for her) and will worry about the rest after next week. One said she’ll vote for McCain in the general if it’s McCain v Obama (or Hillary), the other isn’t sure yet.
