The Stealth Obama Defection
Did anyone in the mainstream media report that Barack Obama’s speechwriter is now a John McCain supporter? I’m shocked…
Not only has this party belittled working people in this campaign from Joe the Plumber to the bitter comments, it has also been part of tearing down two female candidates. At first, certain Democrats and the press called Senator Clinton “dishonest.” They went after her cleavage. They said her experience as First Lady consisted of having tea parties. There was no outrage over “Bros before Hoes” or “Iron My Shirt.” Did Senator Clinton make mistakes? Of course. She’s human.
I can no longer justify what this party has done and can’t dismiss the treatment of women and working people as just part of the new kind of politics. It’s wrong and someone has to say that. And also say that the Democratic Party’s talking points—that Senator John McCain is just four more years of the same and that he’s President Bush—are now just hooker lines that fit a very effective and perhaps wave-winning political argument… doesn’t mean they’re true. After all, he is the only one who’s worked in a bipartisan way on big challenges.
Then again, if Wendy Button was now a household name, we’d know her full background including if she’s missed any car payments or what kind of movies she rents or any late tax payments, etc.

Mainstream no, blogs yes. Some of the PUMA sites suggest about 20% of Dems are backing McCain and actively lying to pollsters about it.
I just hope it’s true.

Don’t forget the Republicans that re-registered Democrat so they could vote for Hillary in the primaries. Many of them never switched back and are still on the books as Dems.
I have a couple friends in that situation and they are inundated with BHO campaign material, requests for donations and calls to work the phone banks. One of them sent back a donation request with a check for two cents with a note… “I just wanted to express my opinion so here’s my two cents worth.”
