I am just curious as to why a democrat would chose to vote for John McCain. His views are in direct opposition to those of the democratic party in every area. It doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense.

It makes a lot of sense if you put the good of your country ahead of the interests of your party. Any American of good conscience must vote for the other candidate when their party’s candidate is:
1) not qualified to be president - a freshman senator? Are you KIDDING me?
2) a misogynist - he smirks while Hillary speaks, dismisses Sarah Palin as “good looking” and pays his female staff about 83 cents for each dollar he pays his male staff. (McCain actually pays his female staff more AND he selected a female VP. See the difference?)
3) too far-left to represent at least 80% of all democrats - in fact, he sounds an awful lot like a socialist to me.
4) a racist, (remember that “typical white person” comment? Lots of us sure do!)

He also associates with some pretty nasty people (Ayers, Renko, Rev. Wright…) which makes him very undesirable as a president. In fact, I don’t think he’d pass the background check for any high security job with the government with friends like his.

For this and many other reasons, like the flip flops, lies, etc. many long-term democrats will be voting for McCain, including my entire family and most of the people we know.

The democratic party may be stuck with Obama but the voters of America aren’t, even the democrats. We can vote for the better ticket in 2008 regardless of which party chose them.

McCain has always had an appeal to Democrats and Independents because he’s so moderate! Hillary won all “Reagan Democrats”, the name says the are SWING voters! She also won Independents like me, despite what the media reports! Independents are also SWING voters! McCain will probably get a few far left Dems who just hapen to be PUMA’s!! I don’t understand why so many people out there just don’t get it!
McCain/Palin 08!!
“Country First”

Dear BO and Oprah.

I am so proud to be standing with McPalin. FINALLY REAL change.

Initially I was sad that you ignored 18 MILLION voters, BUT cha did so I am here blogging.

I LOVE SARAH for her ability to stand up and NOT be afraid, and John McCain at least knows what serving our country means. Hello Dems, WAKE UP!!! If you like your freedom thank a soldier….BUT most of you are all too hell bent on standing against any war………..Sorry, I am not ready for the New World Order yet, but perhaps you are. Itsa coming, and your man BO will be the first to usher it in to this country.

First time as a Dem crossing party lines, but cha know what? I like it!!!!

GO GLENN BECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY someone who speaks the truth.

I can’t believe that there are people in this country who would rather vote for 4 more years of failed Bush policies than vote for Obama. McCain would rather give tax breaks to the rich and to companies that send jobs over seas than see the middle class and poorer be able to afford groceries. There are people here that would rather see a woman who is against woman’s right to choose as a VP than someone who is for women’s rights and UNDERSTANDS something about foreign policies.

i WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT ANYWAY!!! WE ARE ALL REPUBLICANS HERE, AM I RIGHT?

We Clinton Supporters and bloggers have been viewing the death of the
Democratic Party through the lens of a coup or hostile takeover by its liberal
left wing. We witnessed in disbelief as our party became the party of
violence, sexism, misogyny, racism, thuggery, theft, corruption, caucus
fraud, and voter registration fraud.

Before casting a vote, Centrist Dems and all other Americans must stop
looking at the current Democratic Party through the perception they have of
what the Democratic Party once meant.

that party was dead and buried on may 31, 2008

This is not your grandmother’s left wing (or maybe it is). What is now being
uncovered is that the takeover of the Democratic Party is being
orchestrated by a group of people with socialist/marxist beliefs, with a pinch
of fascism sprinkled in—being led by a hand picked, groomed and marketed
messiah under the guise of “progressivism”—with a belief system that
states the ends justify the means. This may also explain why well over 90%
of the African American population is voting for this candidate, and though
some of it has to do with his race, more may be because of his socialist
philosophy.

barack obama is that hand picked candidate

Hillary Clinton was systematically destroyed by the “Democratic Party” in
the primaries. We may debate her strengths and weaknesses as a
candidate, but not being part of the ‘master plan’, she was quite simply
irrelevant.

On the other hand, Barack was spoon fed his current core beliefs for
decades, and is a willing participant in the downfall of America as you know
it. The candidate who has shattered all fund raising records, is now deeply
in political debt to his radical associations.

It’s time to understand where this “alien” democratic party is heading with
Obama in the foreground and his numerous radical socialist/marxist
associates in the background.

let’s start with a history lesson :

Democratic Party:

When political alignments first emerged in George Washington’s
administration, opposing factions were led by Alexander Hamilton and
Thomas Jefferson. In the basic disagreement over the nature and functions
of government and of society, the Jeffersonians advocated a society based
on the small farmer; they opposed strong centralized government and were
suspicious of urban commercial interests. Their ideals—opposed to those
of the Federalist Party — came to be known as Jeffersonian democracy,
based in large part on faith in the virtue and ability of the common man and
the limitation of the powers of the federal government. This group of Anti-
Federalists, who called themselves Republicans or Democratic Republicans
(the name was not fixed as Democratic until 1828), supported many of the
ideals of the French Revolution and opposed close relations with Great
Britain.

Progressive Party:

U.S. independent political party. The first Progressive Party, known as the
Bull Moose Party, was organized in 1911. The second was assembled in
1924; it nominated as its presidential candidate Robert La Follette, who
received 17% of the national vote on a platform calling for a
“housecleaning” of executive departments, public control of natural
resources, public ownership of the railways, and tax reduction. The party
dissolved upon La Follette’s death in 1925. The third Progressive Party,
founded in 1947 by Henry Wallace, differed from the previous groups in its
focus on foreign affairs; it favoured a conciliatory policy toward the Soviet
Union. Though Wallace received more than one million votes in the 1948
election, the party was never again influential.

Progressivism:

The term “progressive” is today often used in place of “liberal“. Although
the two are related in some ways, they are separate and distinct political
ideologies. According to John Halpin, senior advisor on the staff of the
Center for American Progress, “Progressivism is an orientation towards
politics, It’s not a long-standing ideology like liberalism, but an historically-
grounded concept… that accepts the world as dynamic.” Progressives see
progressivism as an attitude towards the world of politics that is broader
than conservatism vs. liberalism, and as an attempt to break free from what
they consider to be a false and divisive dichotomy.

American progressives tend to support interventionist economics: they
advocate income redistribution, and they oppose the growing influence of
corporations. Conversely, European and Australian progressives tend to be
more pro-business, and will often have policies that are soft on taxation of
large corporations. Progressives are in agreement on an international scale
with left-liberalism in that they support organized labor and trade unions,
they usually wish to introduce a living wage, and they often support the
creation of a universal health care system. Yet progressives tend to be more
concerned with environmentalism than mainstream liberals, and are often
more skeptical of the government, positioning themselves as
whistleblowers and advocates of governmental reform. Finally, liberals are
more likely to support the Democratic Party in America and the Labour party
in Europe and Australia, while progressives tend to feel disillusioned with
any two-party system, and vote more often for third-party candidates.

Socialism:

1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the
means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a
centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and
communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the
dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.
Socialism (in the strict or radical sense) aims to establish a fundamentally
different society from the one that currently exists in most countries. While
there are different schools of socialism, which often tend to have differing
views of the ideal socialist society, some general examples of socialist
concepts are: The desire to abolish capitalism, to place the means of
productionexploits the working class, and they desire for workers to play a
vital role in moving society from capitalism to socialism (either by rising up
in a revolution or general strike, or by voting en masse for socialist political
parties). under the collective ownership of the people, and to achieve a very
high degree of economic and political equality. Socialists argue that
capitalism

In contrast, by definition progressivism aims to achieve gradual social
change, and most progressives are outright opposed to any form of radical
revolution. When the progressive movement split on economic principles,
some progressives moved towards the socialist camp, advocating a
planned economy. Other progressives moved towards the regulated mixed
economy camp, with both public and private ownership of companies.
Between these two extremes is social democracy (not a term in popular U.
S. usage), a branch of socialism that became increasingly moderate and
moved towards the political center. Regulated-capitalism progressives and
socialist progressives still tend to support similar progressive social
policies, outside of economic principles.

Communism:

1. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership
of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all
members.

2. Communism
a. A system of government in which the state plans and controls the
economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to
make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally
shared by the people.
b. The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the
overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat.
National Socialism, Naziism, Nazism:
national socialism, Naziism, Nazism - a form of socialism featuring racism
and expansionism and obedience to a strong leader

German history the doctrines and practices of the Nazis, involving the
supremacy of Hitler, anti-Semitism, state control of the economy, and
national expansion

The ideology and practice of the Nazis, especially the policy of racist
nationalism, national expansion, and state control of the economy.

Capitalism:
An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are
privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the
accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
An economic system based on private ownership of the means of
production, in which personal profit can be acquired through investment of
capital and employment of labor. Capitalism is grounded in the concept of
free enterprise, which argues that government intervention in the economy
should be restricted and that a free market, based on supply and demand,
will ultimately maximize consumer welfare.

now that you’ve read those definitions…

Is it not apparent to you that the Democratic Party is now the Progressive
Socialist Party? Income redistribution, universal health care, nationalization
of the economy through our banks, centralized government, and a drive to
destroy the free market capitalist system upon which our nation was built.

remember these words uttered by obama?

“When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
“It’s no secret that most Americans think the country is on the wrong track”

“But the reason isn’t just failed policies. It’s a system in Washington that
has failed the American people. A system that has not kept the most
fundamental trust of American democracy; that our government is of the
people, and that it must govern for all the people - not just the interests of
the wealthy and well-connected.”

“We don’t need the people, we just need their checks.”

it’s the associations stupid
