Is Obama really a democrat?

[Seeker30]

Here you have someone that Rupert Murdoch endorses, Joe Scarborough and other conservatives get a twinkle in their eye when they talk about him, and the nuclear industry contributes more to him than any other candidate.

So whats really going on here?

1. I think you meant to post this here:

2. Obama

A liberal with the ability to convince conservatives and everyone in the middle he isn't really a liberal and then persuade them to work with him to put his liberal policies into action.

Might do you some good to learn about him.

14. He Took Corporate Money, then turned against his Constituency

He created a bill to force Nuclear Plants to alert the public if there was
a leak.
He told the people of Iowa that he passed this legislation.
In fact, it did not pass.
He took several hundred thousand dollars from Nuclear interests for his
Senate campaigns.
Ultimately, he bowed to corporate pressure and re-wrote the bill so that
it protected the NUCLEAR Plants, not the public.
This time, the bill passed.

So in case you are wondering why the Republicans like Obama so much,
this might provide insight.

3. No. He's teh eevvil!

Please provide us with a list of the qualifications for being a "real" democrat. Then we'll purge the party and see who we've got left.

4. Do we really need to show you the Rupert/CLinton photo again?

5. It's called leadership...

10. He's either one of them, or they want him to win the nom so they can defeat him in the general.

11. Huh?

[PassingFair]

12. I've heard his middle name is really CASTRO.

He only uses Hussein for political reasons.

True!

[Eric J in MN]

13. Regarding conservatives like Joe Scarborough,

...I think they perceive Barack Obama as easier to defeat in the general election than Hillary Clinton. Scarborough wants a Republican to win.

It doesn't mean that Scarborough and Obama have similar values.

15. Are Democrats Really Islamo-Facsists? We report, you decide!

Seeker, what are you seeking?

Cause I think you just stepped in it.

Stinky!

[pingzing58]

16. No he dreams of being like his idea producing hero Ronald Reagan

[newmajority]

18. We know for a fact that the DLC are not Democrats

And the Clintons ARE the DLC.

And who does Rupert Murdoch endorse again?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Hillary's fundraiser endorsed Obama?

20. silly

[cali]

21. why, yes. yes he is. that's as stupid an OP as one could possibly drool out, dear

It's as moronic as someone writing "Is Clinton really a democrat? Here you have someone who's friends with Rupert Murcoch and who he's thrown his fundraising weight behind. Ann Coulter has endored Hillary and said she'll campaign for her, and corporate America and lobbyists love her and donate more to her than any other candidate".

I doubt you'll be able to see how stupid both your OP and my mock up of it are, but they are really, really stupid.

[FrenchieCat]

22. Yes, Seeker30, Obama is a Democrat, and best of all,

He's a real Democrat, not a DLCer, an organization of DINOs founded by Bill Clinton. That's the organization that believes that acting Like Republicans is most effective. http://displib.blogspot.com/2007/04/dlc-doesnt-lead.html

Ask Ted Kennedy what kind of Democrat Obama is. He'll tell ya. :hi:

[Dispassionate Lib]

27. FrenchieCat, Maybe you should read

everything I wrote before you start linking my take on Obama and the DLC. Mind you, any traffic is good traffic, but I wasn't exactly complementary of Obama's decision making there.

[populistdriven]

25. I have no irrational fear of nuclear energy, neither should you

Did you know that nuke plants emit much less radiation than coal plants?

26. You are talking about Hillary Clinton, not Obama.
