Obama Supporters on the Far Left Cry Foul By WILLIAM YARDLEY
PORTLAND, Ore. In the breathless weeks before the Oregon presidential primary in May, Martha Shade did what thousands of other people here did: she registered as a Democrat so she could vote for Senator Barack Obama.
Now, however, after critics have accused Mr. Obama of shifting positions on issues like the war in Iraq, the Bush administrations program of wiretapping without warrants, gun control and the death penalty all in what some view as a shameless play to a general election audience Ms. Shade said she planned to switch back to the Green Party.
Im disgusted with him, said Ms. Shade, an artist. I cant even listen to him anymore. He had such an opportunity, but all this audacity of hope stuff, its blah, blah, blah. For all the independents hes going to gain, hes going to lose a lot of progressives.
Of course, that depends on how you define progressives.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!
...this is fun!...the Lefties are disgusted because BHO moves right and the Righties feel his shift is a lie....reminds me of when Kerry went goose hunting.
Artist disgusted with con-artist BUMP!

Cognitive dissonance is a terrible thing.
But, if one insists on believing the Liberal Lies, ......

hahahahaaaa!
I don't get it. After all, he IS the candidate for CHANGE!!!
hahahaaaa!
This should have been tagged “Left-Wing Nitwit Alert”. I’m sure Ms Shade is a real fine All- American “artist”...GMAB. “Artiste”, maybe.
Did the far left moon bats really not know that osama would try to appear to be “centerist” after the primaries?
“Artist disgusted with con-artist BUMP!”
Now that, my friend, is funny! Made me LOL!!!
You go girl!
Don’t let those meanies at the slimes shame you into toeing the line. Go vote for McKinney and the greenies - and take all your friends with you!
This fun to watch.
I think Obama is playing the President Clinton strategy of being all things....to all people. That would have worked great in 1992 but most folks have wised up on this strategy. Presently, I’d guess that half of the Hillary crowd are gearing for a Denver meeting and expecting Obama to say alot to clear the air....but he won’t give them that pleasure. So I’d say half of the Hillary crowd will cross the line and vote McCain. If McCain were smart....he’d make numerous comments about the positives of a Hillary campaign and how she’d have been a tough opponent.
Oh, goody! Some fun entertainment.
Couldn't have said it any better myself....
I'll give you money to change your ways...I'll be your daddy.
The nuts are cutting off Obama!
Obama Adopts Bold New Approach to Iraq War
In what the media are hailing as an incredibly nuanced take on a very sticky problem, Democratic presidential hopeful, Senator Obama announced a bold new approach for dealing with the war in Iraq.
Under Obamas plan, he will confer with the commanders-on-the-ground in Iraq to ensure a militarily sound strategy is followed. At the same time, performance benchmarks that the Iraqi government will be required to meet will be monitored.
Erstwhile supporters of the Illinois senator expressed outrage at what they are calling a sell-out.
Conferring with the Army brass and monitoring benchmarks are the Bush policies for this war, complained Danner Kline, a self-identified staunch supporter of Obama. Obamas practically denouncing and rejecting every progressive voice in the country.
Kline says that while he is disappointed in Obamas turnabout, he will still vote for him in the hope that he is just lying in order to get elected.

“Ms. Shade said she planned to switch back to the Green Party.”
What the lefties really want is a pure, undiluted election win based on their ideology so that they can feel popular. Lefties feel alienated and want to be the cool kids for a change.
When McCain wins in a landslide, they’re going to be suicidal. Heh ..heh...
