Imagine if a speechwriter for John McCain had switched sides and announced she was going to vote for Barack Obama. Would she not be featured bigtime in the mainstream media complete with new thrills running up Chris Matthews leg? Well, this did happen except that it was an Obama speechwriter, Wendy Button, who became disillusioned with The One and switched supporting McCain. Here are the highlights of Wendy Button's explanation of why she made the switch:
Since I started writing speeches more than ten years ago, I have always believed in the Democratic Party. Not anymore. Not after the election of 2008. This transformation has been swift and complete and since I’m a woman writing in the election of 2008, “very emotional."
Young lady, only when the switch is made from Republican to Democrat will it be mentioned in the MSM. They search the country for "lifelong Republicans" who are going to vote for Obama but when an Obama speechwriter switches over to the "Dark Side," all you will hear from the MSM is the sound of crickets chirping.

PING!
It is interesting how it is “women” that are taking the lead against this campaign. Other than Joe the Plumber where are all the “men” to lead this nation against Obama?

As with Mary, God sends a woman when men stop being men.
Bada ping
The MSM is no longer all pervasive. This can get out, it will just require a bit of work.
“Mail this to Fox News.”
I sent the link to Greta a few minutes ago. Her viewership is huge, I think. This writer would be an interesting interviewee.
“God sends a woman when men stop being men.”
Like Sarah Louise Heath Palin.
Jim Lehrer (disgraced PBS, Democrat operative):
"Why should we report it? This, ACORN, Rezko, Odinga, treason in Iraq, Ayers, Wright, and the rest
are of no interest to us or anyone else in the media. Now, bow before us and our chosen messiah
and tell me how many of Gwen Ifill's book on Obama's 2009 Coronation you want to order?"
The entire article needs to be read.....excellent!
Original Reagan Democrat Welcome to the Light Ping
Congressman Billybob
Latest article, "Brides from a War Long Ago"
The Declaration, the Constitution, parts of the Federalist, and America's Owner's Manual, here.
Uh, sorry, but your analogy doesn’t hold. In the case of Mary, the job she was asked to do is one that men, no matter how much they might want to do it, can’t. She was not acting outside her own feminine framework but directly within it.
Judith or Esther or any number of other women would be good analogies of women whom God chose to do men’s work when men wimped out.
Sure would like to ask that speechwriter what the significance of the “red star” is that seems to be everywhere in the Barack campaign. When Fox News reporter followed William Ayers and asked him questions about his terrorist activities, Ayers, who was taking out grocery bags from the trunk of his car, turned around displaying a big red star right in the middle of his black tee shirt. The “red star” is also displayed on some of Obama’s campaign buttons and signs. Anyone know what this means?
Exactly!
