The DUmmies and KoS kiddies are already spewing their bile over this development, looks good on ‘em!

Hey 0bama?

Guess Governor Palin was right about you being sorry you didn’t pick Hillary Clinton instead of Senator ‘Plugs’ Biden, eh?

Too bad YOU were never a Governor, eh B’rack? It might have given you a bit more wisdom in making decisions like that!

Folks, make no doubt as to why this is happening.

They are not voting for McCain and Palin, they are voting against Obama. Why? Because they want Hillary to run in 2012. These people will do anything for power, even betray their own party. It's the classic ‘enemy of my enemy’ situation.

But, my FRiends, these people are not our friends. They are as Marxist as Obama. We have a very long hard fight ahead of us if we want to preserve this country. If McCain/Palin win and they put amnesty through, Hillary Clinton, the commie, will be president in 2012. And she has the machine to push her socialist plans down America's throat.

There’s a reason why the media did not want Hillary to win the primary.

Are we supposed to be thrilled? Clinton-era officials are the main reason we’re in the financial messes we have right now, as well as fighting al-Queda and allowing Bin Laden to still roam around. Oh well, let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Yep, with thier support comes influence. Keep an eye on some of our new FReepers. Some of them are a particular brand of nasty with an open borders anti christian bent.

This can't be burned in deep enough. Still, take your fights one by one. So far I haven't seen anything to suggest this election won't be as close as the last two. If Dan Quayle had said the incredibly stupid things Obama has said it would have been merciful to put him out of his misery. Obama does this as a litany. The press ignores them, and Democrats don't care.

Obama's real choices have been worse.

Thrilled or not, you have to be at least grateful for another possible window of opportunity. Think John Paul Stevens. Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Norma McCorvey.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but at least we have a common foe.
I may not be thrilled, but a tingle did go up my leg.

This is great, the Rothschilds make great wine. By the way, she met her husband at a Bilderberger meeting!

Who?

Will McAuliffe, Wolfson or Lanny Davis be on the record with supporting McCain? So far all of them have been mum. I wonder who they’ll be voting for.

We know all of this. Not long ago, we were ready to vote AGAINST Obama as well. Some of us are STILL voting "against Obama".

The rest of your post is empty speculation and divisionism. It's not like any of us planned to vote for the Beast in 2012 out of gratitude, and amnesty has nothing to do with the Obama persona that has been perpetrated increasingly on the public since 2004.

I fail to read any revelation or insight into your dire warnings.

What in the hell are talking about you idiot?

I'm trying to unite conservatives. Yes, get the Republicans in office. But don't sit on your ass thinking we've won. We've won nothing if we lose amnesty and judges.

Your post is the post that is empty and divisive.

To those who say she is not our friend, I agree. Stalin was not our friend, either. But we certainly found it convenient to team up with him to beat Hitler. Same deal here. Worrying about the “peace” is not relevant if you don’t win the war first.

As I posted on the earlier thread on Lynn's editorial last week, I think this is HUGH!

This would not be happening unless open support of McCain-Palin has been deemed acceptable by the "powers that be" in the highest level of Jewish, Democratic, financial and Society circles in New York.

What I think this means is that significant players within those circles have concluded that an Obama victory would be bad news for them - their businesses and their influence, and perhaps even for the larger economy. It also may reflect an assessment that Obama is going to lose anyway, and that the best positioning for the future is Hillary in 2012 after a single term McCain Presidency.

The last time I saw such a huge shift in these circles was probably 1980, when many moved to Reagan, or 1992 when otherwise Republican financial types decided it was OK to support Clinton.

Perhaps the most interesting question is whether significant campaign money or 527 contributions will follow this....
