Barack Obama: One Man, One Vote, One Time
redstate.com ^ | October 21, 2008 | The Directors

Posted on 10/21/2008 8:26:14 AM PDT by Josh Painter

Barack Obama is the most left-wing major-party presidential candidate in modern history. The evidence of this is all over his record and his campaign. Yet for a variety of reasons, ranging from terminal frustration with the Bush Administration to swooning over Obama's pop culture cache to buying Obama's and the media's spin that he's really a mainstream figure to the right, not the left, of John Kerry, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis and Howard Dean, we keep encountering moderates, independents, liberal Republicans and even self-identified conservatives who are willing to give Obama a chance in the White House. Even though America remains a center-right country, Obama leads in the major polls, and the odds currently favor his chances of winning the election, and of the unpopular Democratic Congress expanding its majorities to approach a filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. Senate, something the nation has not seen since the Great Society.

Our friends who take seriously the future of America as a non-left-wing country with a viable party of the Right should reconsider lending any support to this venture. Under the normal rules of politics, we would accept the idea that Obama, after winning, would inevitably overreach to the Left, leading to a backlash from which Republicans could rebuild a new and better GOP in 2010 and 2012, as we did in 1980 and 1994 after the last two Democratic presidents overreached and underperformed. But this assumes that Obama's agenda will be mostly about policy, and will seek by traditional means to persuade a center-right voting public to support a European-style left-wing social-democrat government.

In fact, it is highly likely that Obama and the Congressional Democrats will instead concentrate major efforts on a number of longstanding policy priorities are aimed at stacking the deck to change the electorate and the political process...

During these times, I would never support someone like Obama. His past is a window to the future. He wouldn’t have the slightest idea what to do in an attack against this country.

If that was the case then McCain would win in a landslide.

Not to worry, Obama is the Messiah and can just talk to the enemy. In other words, cower to our enemies who want to kill all of us.

In fact, it is highly likely that Obama and the Congressional Democrats will instead concentrate major efforts on a number of longstanding policy priorities are aimed at stacking the deck to change the electorate and the political process themselves, and thus entrenching themselves in long-term power without ever needing again to persuade a center-right electorate to support their policies.


Precisely.

The RS Directors indeed make a compelling case that... This May Be Your Only Chance To Stop Obama's Agenda.

Regarding the palpable vote fraud elements described, here's what so many Dem voters just do not understand...

If the Dem candidates win by vote fraud, then...

Even the Dem voters' votes didn't count; and,...

once the judges, the fraud schemes, the illegal aliens, the union thug operatives, are all in place, even the DEMS will not be able to vote them out of office.

To re-state.

If Dems voters vote for Obama, they are not just voting for the extinction of the Republican Party.

No.

They are voting for their OWN extinction, too.

But, it is "change" as well as "sacrifice", n'est ce pas?
