Some wisdom from Eric Dondero… NOT!

Interesting that the man who back-stabbed Ron Paul, the only fiscal conservative running, would call Obama a “communist” (when he is, at worst, a social democrat) only to endorse a Trotskyist neoconservative. Good luck to John McTrotsky… he is toast!

Jeremy,

The difference is that Obama has been running a competent campaign but Clinton has not.

Obama has been doing an excellent job of diffusing all these bogus attacks. coming from both the right and from the equally dishonest Clinton campaign.

The other difference is that while Hillary has actual dirt in her closet, the attempts to find dirt on Obama have failed, causing Clinton and the conservatives to invent things on him instead.

The difference is Hillary is use to Republican attacks. Obama is not and they will dig every ounce of dirt from the closets, link his to Islamic terrorist, label him unpatriotic and it will work. Americans will fall for it and the Democrats will lose.

Eric,

You really do live in a fantasy world, believing every right wing email smear. Fortunately most people are too smart for that.

A local Obama volunteer hung a Che flag in a planned campaign office before anyone from the actual campaign came.

Daniel Ortega simply called the Obama campaign revolutionary. That is hardly an endorsement or evidence of any similarity in views.

The picture being spread by right wing kooks in which Obama doesn’t have his hand over his heart was not taken when the pledge was been said.

If you consider this a smorgasboard, you are going to starve.

If you think Obama would prove best for downticket GOP candidates, think again. When he continues to pull in independent and Republican votes, some of them are also going to vote for Democratic candidates down ticket.

Pro-Communist? Obama is as far from Communist as anyone we’ve seen. Besides being the strongest civil libertarian to run that I can remember, Obama’s economic advisers come from The University of Chicago. That is hardly a hot bed of Communist economic thought.

The reality is that Obama is the most libertarian candidate we’ve had from a major party. You can’t face that reality as it would totally destroy your illusion that there is anything libertarian about the Republican Party.

I’m starting to think Obama would be much easier to run against for Republicans than Hillary. There’s so much dirt on Obama, like this latest flag flap out of Houston where the Campaign HQ had Communist Che Guevera in the background, and the endorsement yesterday of Obama by Communist Daniel Ortega, plus the incident where Obama didn’t put his hand over his heart during the pledge while Hillary and Richardson did in the background.

It’s like a Right-wing smorgasboard to choose from for the Fall election.

I too may be switching from hoping for a Hillary win, to hoping for Obama to prevail in the Dem primary. I say this as a Republican. Even though I can’t stand McCain, Obama would prove best for downticket GOP Congressional candidates.

I don’t think we’ve ever had a more openly Pro-Communist candidate running for President since Henry Wallace in the 1940s.
