This is a crowd that's used to moving in lock-step, so it must be hard for them to admit it. I'm sure running into them, left and right. One of my co-workers told me that he's a registered Republican and ashamed of it, all excited about Obama. Another Repbulican told me that she will not vote for McCain, because of Palin. She said it proves he has no judgement.

 
PlanetBev is just $10 away from buying a clue.

1. I think you are right.
 I have seen some on the right admit they will not vote for McCain, for various reasons, but Palin "has" caused many to decide not to vote, which really surprised me. Others I am sure will vote for Obama, but will never admit to it. Their "friends" would disown them if they did!

2. I'm wondering if you are not absolutely correct. Even David Brooks
 article today was about Palin not being qualified, etc. etc. And I run into people all of the time who say they are very unhappy with the way the Bush administration is handling things.

6. True. While the MSM is all over the Bradley Effect *against* Obama
 I think there's a very real segment of the population who will do the opposite. Their wallets don't lie.

7. Something I forgot to add
 Two of my other co-workers are Independents, both women. They come into my office frequently to tell me how much they can't stand Palin and are voting Obama.

The "Republicans for Obama" were all Democrat fakes, DUmbass. Of the few who actually are Republicans for Obama, two of them are ultra-RINOs Leach and Chafee.

They always backtrack back to their PDS very quickly. The Palin nomination hasn't fractured the party in any way, shape or form no matter how much you retards desire it to be so, DUmmies.

I've hardly heard it mentioned. It scares the MSM and other democrats to death.
That is the reason behind DUmmy PlanetBev's post, seeking reassurance from other DUmmies.

This was the best laugh I have gotten all day! :-)

When I'm alone in the voting booth I'm going to override all common sense and vote for the guy that LEAST represents my interests and the direction I feel the country should go in...  Because of Sarah Palin.

Self Delusion doesn't even begin to cover these folks.

Seriously.

I think that this indicates that they don't even want to try anymore.  It's just such an obvious piece of projection that I think even the DUmmies laugh hysterically when they post it. ::)

No. Quite the opposite.  That is what is making the children at the DUmp put out fables such as these.

I know they wake up in the middle of the night and see VP Palin, soil themselves, then call for mom to change the sheets.

I think a lot of their problem with Palin, other then the fact that she's against murdering innocent babies, is simple jealousy.

perhaps there may have been a small number of deluded republicans flirting with voting for obama during the primaries when the only thing that he was running on was "hope, healing, and unity".  it's kinda hard to be against any of that.  the current incarnation of The BarackStar! is your standard ultra liberal politician unleashing one sharp socialist attack against his opponent after another.

I doubt that the ranks of deluded republicans are nearly as full these days.

We need to save the sinking ship
Editor:
Lebanon Daily News

As a Republican and strong McCain supporter in 2000, I was disappointed and saddened in 2004 when McCain permanently traded in his maverick credentials and sold out his principles to support George W. Bush. I now find it equally disturbing to see him gamble our security and future with a reckless choice for a running mate.

Gov. Sarah Palin clearly has a bright future in politics. She may even have the depth and diversity of experience to be a vice-presidential candidate four years from now.

The McCain ticket, with all of its newfound “freshness” and despite all of the claims, has quickly devolved into the politics-as-usual that we have come to expect in the last eight years. McCain and Palin quickly emerged from the rhetoric of their convention as the uniters of dividers.

I talk politics with a lot of people from all walks of life. I find it compelling that many of the ordinary Republicans I talk to understand that their families cannot afford another four years like the last eight. We all deserve better.

But the paper appends a tagline that rather undercuts Tarsa's claim to speak "as a Republican": "Tarsa is chairman of the Lebanon County Democratic Committee." Apparently party lines run right through Christopher Tarsa.

Everyday in the local small town paper here is an obviously boiler room letter.

They are as phony as all get out following the same pattern of hitting a certain number of talking points with an air of intellectual smugness.

A true LTTE from a DUmmy is just as their posts are....a rambling affair with no linear thought between the screams.
