Are neocons going to Obama's camp?

May 6th, 2007 by SouthernBelle82
Obama seems to be getting a lot of support from republicans and that generally doesn't bother me since a lot of people supported Kerry who were republicans unhappy with Bush and that happens all the time. What is bothering me is that neocons seems to be going to Obama's camp including a cofounder of the PNAC group. Has anybody heard about this? Matthew Dowd is now jumping on Obama's band wagon and he was a chief strategist of Bush's 2004 campaign and Robert Kagan is the PNAC member who likes Obama and what he has been saying. I just am getting iffy vibes and I think Obama is trying to please too many people instead of standing up for his own values and that is causing all these people to come to Obama's camp from Bush's. Could they be getting ready to get Obama to be the PNAC's new Bush to continue what they started with Iran and Syria? Obama has said all options are on the table with Iran. I'm just getting really nervous about this and it's making me uncomfortable and I want to know what you guys think.

Watching CSPAN 13May07

Obama's neocon support is a little strange to me too.  I was watching CSPAN last night May 13th, and they had a panel on political spin from the LA Times book festival

(http://www.booktv.org/feature/index.asp?segID=8265&schedID=488)

including Frank Luntz, the Republican spin magician from Gingrich to Dubya, and Luntz spoke a little about how much he liked Obama. I'm thinking that maybe the neocon sect is merely embracing Obama because any thought of a Clinton in the White House still makes them apoplectic.

It is very interesting

And it makes question him and it's very interesting to see them go to him and I wonder why. :\ And right Clinton did do a couple of things for the republicans like NAFTA, CAFTA, Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act. And when you have Luntz on your side that definitley makes me fishy.

Deleting the letter "N"for political correctness

That was the LA Times that brought that up, and who really care's about the notion of civility when clarity and facts are the on things that count in the final argument ? The letter N and Obama can fend for themselves. Your overly pious and scantimonious.

 

 

What?

So you don't care about people saying a horrible slander? And what's this about me being overly pious and scantimonious?

   Obama is indeed the "Magick Negro" as he has been called. He appears to be a stalking horse for the Neo Con' s who have pretty much staged managed his campaign from the get go. I think he is a Manchurian Candidate, as the Neo Con's and the Zionist lobby are well placed in the DNC and DLC. 

   The same senario has been attributed to Hilliary also, the Republican money backers don't see any chance for a Republican victory in 08, so they are backing the most conserative Dem they can find. So who knew ?

I don't appreciate the "n" word being used and the Rush propoganda nonsense. But he is having an appeal to neocons that is making me nervous and yes Hillary makes me nervous as well with her connections. Obama is trying to please everybody which can be a flaw. I like Gravel because he doesn't worry about pleasing anybody and just stands up for his beliefs and is himself. I also don't like that Obama isn't standing up for LGBT rights or the "religious right" more.
