Yet Another "Lifelong Republican" Obama Supporter Outed As A Phony

http://bmovies.blogspot.com/2008/06/yet-another-lifelong-republican-obama.html

Here I posted about a Democrat Barack Obama supporter in Pennsylvania trying to pass herself off as a "lifelong republican".

Well, here is yet another one, this time in North Carolina.

First, an excerpt from the Charlotte Observer, titled "Obama Sends A Message":

    Obama seemed to be reaching out to many of the working class voters who voted for Clinton in the Democratic primary. He shared a stage with Pamella Cash-Roper, a 54-year old licensed nurse from Pittsboro, who along with her husband is unemployed after both had heart surgery.

    Cash-Roper said she was forced to cash out her 401(k) plan, forgo some medicines and be careful about the automobile trips she has to make.

    A lifelong Republican, Cash-Roper said she was supporting Obama.

...  Yet, according to a poster on the News & Observer blog:

    Submitted by paboat on June 9, 2008 - 7:54pm.
    According to the NC GOP, there is no Pamela Cash Roper who is a "lifelong Republican."

    "From a search of voter registration information at the State Board of Elections website, there is no Pamela Cash Roper who is a registered Republican in North Carolina. There are 5 people named Pamela Roper. Three of them are Democrats and two are unaffiliated. Therefore one of these things must be true: Pamela Cash Roper is not a Republican, she is not from North Carolina, or she is not a registered voter."

That is answered:

    Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on June 9, 2008 - 8:31pm.
    That's because her name is spelled Pamella Cash-Roper. She is a registered Republican in Chatham County. I misspelled the name in the post earlier. My apologies for any confusion.

    â€” RTB

Which in turn is answered:

    Submitted by piperscot on June 10, 2008 - 1:19pm.
    You have some more digging to do. If Pamella Cash-Roper has lived in Chatham County for at least 4 years, she voted in the Democrat 2nd primary since the SBOE shows that she did vote and there were no Republican contests in Chatham County for the 2nd Primary. The only contest was the runoff for the Democratic primary in the Superintendent of Public Instruction. She is only a lifelong Republican if she is less than 4 years old and then she could register to vote. If you are going to let the Democrats trot this woman out to tell a lie without question, why do I suspect that the Democrat candidates will have it easy with you? This story has gone worldwide because it "fits the template".

I noticed that MSNBC did a better job of covering the action at the podium and on the convention floor than fox did.  fox stuck with it's normal weekday lineup, albeit a "modified for the convention" format, until the key speech of the night.

of course, bill o'reilly spent most of the time I was watching fox during his time slot ranting about some story (that was all about him, naturally) in newsday. :whatever:

Many of the hospitals I know of not only have nursing shortages, but they are offering $5,000 sign on bonus on anyone that promises to stay 12 months.

HMO's are sort of like little Stalinist socialist health care camps already.  I really think MSA's are the way to go, or at least a part of the broader solution instead of making something the government already made bad, worse.

no, I just think their rhetorical device is cowardly.  and it's dishonest.  how can you either respect or admire someone that you genuinely believe is evil, and will intentionally crush the middle class beneath their jack boots, plunder the national treasury for their own benefit, and start neeless wars just to see brave young men and women die?

"God bless you and God Speed."

Um, what, no God bless America?

Bitch.

that was odd.  "god speed" is a phrase used to wish one good fortune on a journey . . . 

Could be a synonymous with her other slip or not so slip of the tongue in mentioning the word assassination

I missed that. What was the story behind that?

she said at least once that she was justified in staying in the race even though the outcome was inevitable because RFK was assassinated in july, and it wasn't july yet.

Well judging from the look on Michelle's face I'd guess she hates Hillary with a purple passion! Damn,, Hillary should be stone cold dead.  :lmao:

MSNBC is swooning.  Fox is calling her out for doing the bare minimum, and getting the hell off the stage.  it's amazing that they were watching the same speech.

I think she did well.

And on the cupcake front, they're in the oven and cream cheese frosting is done.  :)

I just read the transcript: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/26/clinton.transcript/

She freaking played the race card!!!!!!!!

Quote
On that path to freedom, Harriet Tubman had one piece of advice.
If you hear the dogs, keep going.
If you see the torches in the woods, keep going.
If they're shouting after you, keep going.
Don't ever stop. Keep going.
If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.

OTOH she said uh-bam-uh's name a whole 8 times.  And threw a girlie underhand toss at McCain, saying "But we don't need four more years of the last eight years."

Pretty tepid.  And forgettable.

chelsea is still hot.  I meant to mention that before the Pink Pantsuit of Purgatory rumbled on stage.
Chelsea is a dead ringer for her father, Web Hubbell, from The Beast's days at the Rose Law Firm. If you don't remember him, look up a photo and set it beside Chelsea. So obvious it is comical.

I have heard that before, that she's really Hubbel's daughter, but she looks so much like Hillary to me, I can't tell.

Michelle Kept babbling about a "journey" last night. "Godspeed" annoyed me as well - a phoney and pretentious sign-off.

I thought Hillary was flat and it was a policy endorsement only - she said Michelle would make a great First Lady, but she never corrected the McCain ad where she had said MCCain was qualified, but BHO wasn't. She could have undone that statement easily, but she didn't. She made the speech about her and the feminist movement and made the arguement that her supporters should vote for Obama because the country needed a Democrat president. It was all about Hillary, and tomorrow it will all be about Bill, and he's liable to say anything the way he is now.

She and Hubbell both have that strange pelican-like mouth and chin. Really distinctive.

I might listen to Bill; I think he is more pissed about Hillary not getting the nomination than she is. So he might blow his top which would be fun to watch; what would be better is if he endorsed McCain.  :tongue: :rotf: :fuelfire:

"Godspeed" was a weird thing to say...it's very...final.

Is it just me, or was that speech a "This is what I"m running on in 2012"  While she had to say she supports Obama, she was endorsing herself more than anything.

I think it was an attempt to split the difference between supporting him enough so that she isn't accused of torpedoing him, and creating sufficient distance between herself and his campaign should he lose on his own in november.

it was all about maintaining her political viability after november, regardless of what should happen.

I think that is where she suffers dellusions. After the way the democrats treated her and Bill this year it's crazy to think they would embrace them in 2012. Assuming Brock wins you know he is going to want a second terms. She should have gone independent and found someone to remove that very large knife sticking out of her back!

Nope, still didn't watch it.  Watched a few minutes of the post shows and the "MSNBC is swooning.  Fox is calling her out for doing the bare minimum, and getting the hell off the stage" is correct.

After The Impeached One speaks tonight, I predict the Clintonistas are adios.  There'll be calls for her to hit the campaign trail and drum up her supporters to switch to the Obamassiah, but my guess is she's moving on.  If anything, they'll do a few little things to make life harder on B. Hussein.

she could have done that with "God bless America".  maybe she just wanted to be different, but she's a clinton, and when a clinton is involved, maximum cynicism is in order.

the party may have treated the clintons badly, and if they did, it was probably payback for the fact that during the clinton administration, the clintons themselves did very, very well, but the party suffered disaster after disaster at the polls, almost all of which was attributable to  misguided and unpopular clinton policies.  during clinton's 8 years in office, the dems lost the house, the senate, governer's mansions, and state houses all over the country.  and the rumor that the clintons sent wesley clark in to the primaries in 2004 just so there would be another anti-war candidate, and thus blow up howard dean's presidential candidacy, couldn't have helped his personal feelings about bill and hill . . .
