I just read Salena Zito article "Obama Republicans". Read it
here.
Being a good speaker is a plus in politics, and Obama is that. He may be compared with Reagan, speaking wise too. He may seem like a nice guy, he probably is. He talks of being a uniter.
But there is a big difference between Reagan and Obama. Obama is a liberal. Pure and simple. He may want to unite people, but forget about conservative ideas. It will be liberal all the way. Do you want liberal policies for the next eight years?
That means eight years (yes, eight) of new bad liberal judges. It means anti-life, anti-military, anti-enterprise, anti-christian, anti-american foreign policy, anti-guns just to name a few. If you like high taxes, lots of new rules in your business then vote for obama. Forget about your conservative opinion to boot, we must be united!
If a good speaker and being a uniter is what you want, the price is pretty high. It's too high in my opinion. You shouldn't and cannot vote against your own beliefs and interests, its just wrong. It was a great thing that Reagan was a great speaker, but he was successful because of his policies not his speeches. Obama cannot be successful because liberal ideas are bankrupt.
There shouldn't be the large amounts of "Republicans" (most of those saying it, generally aren't Republican to began with) crossing to vote for Obama. Unlike the millions of Democrats that crossed to vote for Reagan in 1980 and 1984. Because for those voters, Reagan was the better candidate for their interests, voting for Obama sure isn't for Republicans.
Please don't vote for a Democrat because your mad. Doing so will make things so much worse (because Democrats always think they have a mandate for some reason). You may say we got past the Clinton years, but we had the Republican congress to stop some of the nonsense, which we won't have if Obama (or Clinton II) wins. And we are still paying the price for those years. So do us all a favor and don't do it.
