Bullshit! It will never happen,

If the so-called elites vote against Boxer and Jerry Brown then I might believe that there has been a change of heart.

“Bright lights? More like old rich hippies.”

Exactly. The tuition cost seems to be $2450 per week for general attendance, students for only half that price. What makes these people elite is in their own minds and wallets, not in any sense of higher quality or more intelligent, as they have already proved. They are there to hobnob with each other, write off the cost as a business expense, and pretend to understand or care what the heck most of the presenters are saying.

It is becoming apparent even to the “intellectuals” yhay Soetoro, while indubitably an intellectual, has not much actual intelligence by which to intellectualize and casts a bad light on the brainier type. The truth is that Intellectualism is too often an abandonment of sense and even intelligence in favor of fantasy.

The blowout will be in 2012. I see many voters continuing to vote for their guy, thinking that it is the other state’s guy who is the bad congressmen.

[philetus]

The new Republicans will change their spots a day after the election, and will continue to “reach across the aisle” and continue to support the destructive practices of the Left.”

Bingo

[Tzimisce]

The elites aren’t turning against Obama.

What’s happening is that a bunch of people are discovering that when liberals say “elite” they don’t mean them and it’s shocking...

[Psalm 144]

November is going to be a blow out. I hope the Republicans know what to do with the power that is coming their way...

*******************

We can’t delegate, or trust to the buzzwords again. We went to sleep and got embezzled, big time. From now on when we look at or listen to ANY “conservative” politician we need to take a page from Reagan:

“Trust, but VERIFY!”

“the well-heeled and enlightened eggheads at the Aspen Ideas Festival”

What crazy idiot would call Babs Streisand an “egghead”?

[bgill]

I’m not buying it. If they were stupid enough to vote for him and his ilk the first time around, they will again.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

OBAMA

OMNIPOTANT

INCOMPETENCE

[eyedigress]

“Not one dime” Phhhtttt

It's Not contents of her head it's the shape !

[Graybeard58]

Anyone who voted for Obama is not smart, in fact, they are incredibly dumb, especially if they are rich. And you can’t get any more stupid than an old white male rich obama voter.

More stupid? My former family physician voted for Obama.

[PetroniusMaximus]

The Socialists kill the true believers first.

“The real problem we have,” Mort Zuckerman said, “are some of the worst economic policies in place today that, in my judgment, go directly against the long-term interests of this country.”....If Mort and his ilk at this elite gathering weren't bright enough to understand that the policies he's complaining about were exactly what we were going to get after hearing Obama tell Joe the Plumber he wanted to "share the wealth", Mort and the ilk are among the dumbest people on the scene today......

[dusttoyou]

Their fawning whine is to cause us to forget their implication in setting nobama up in the first place.

Brolin’s “Mind-blowing” far out dude.... LOL... what an intellectual. Must have been that kickass Aspen coke.

The question I have whenever I read something like this article is: Did these people, the ones they interviewed, support 0bama in the first place? The media (left and right) tend to make a generalization over one group (intellectuals, feminists, Christians, etc...), and they often pick one or two persons belonging to the group in question to support their story (whatever it is). If these people were against 0bama in the first place, we don't see any change.

We often saw this kind of 'journalism' throughout Bush presidency. They interviewed 'Christians', 'Republicans', 'Evangelicals', etc., to give impression that people from those groups left Dubya; when in fact, the people they interviewed had never been Bush supporters in the first place.
