Do you think members of the Democrat party have just performed a giant flip flop?

Question

Prior to yesterday being an old white guy was a bad thing and meant you shouldn't be considered for the White House.

I think I felt the ground move.

Answer 1

Yes.  Change we can "depends" on.  

Answer 2

Obviously Obama has a lot to worry about even HIS hair has gotten a lot grayer since he started

his campaign  

Answer 3

Yep, looks like they are going to have to change their cuts and jabs again. Can't use old man anymore, because they have one on their ticket. I don't remember ever seeing any party flip flop around as much as the Dems have since Obama came on the scene. Between him and the DNC I think the Dems are toast.

Answer 4

The Democrats are clearly in trouble and Obama sees his presidential aspirations crumbling and no way out. He can no longer appease his real masters (America's wealthy elite) while attempting to appeal to liberals at the same time. He had been counting on being able to promote the right-wing imperialist policies  of G.W. Bush while adding a little national health care rhetoric and that he would win the election because everyone hates Bush and sees McCain as the continuation of Bush. That game plan has now proved itself to be a failure.

Obama won the primary and developed a big lead over McSame because he offered the illusion of "hope" and "change" which vaguely suggested to the liberal majority public that the n**i Bush policies were over. But as soon as Obama won the Primary, he became black Bush, the Democratic n**i. He quickly sided with Bush on the government's need to spy on the public and supported telecom immunity which forgave, not only the telecoms for their crimes, but the Bush administration as well. Quickly thereafter, he did his little prostration act before the increasingly hated, right-wing, warmongering AIPAC. Before the public even had a chance to scratch their heads in bewilderment, Obama was telling how he intended to increase the war in Afghanisan and widen it on into Pakistan. Today, he is busy supporting the Bush lies that Russia attacked Georgia when everyone that pays attention to world events knows that it was U.S. backed Georgia that attacked South Ossetia.

As such, Obama's lead is now gone. But the public majority doesn't want McCain. The public majority is overwhelmingly liberal and they want a liberal President. They voted for Obama because he provided the illusion that he was liberal when they knew that the Clintons were wolves in sheep's clothing. Now, what we have all learned is that Obama is also a wolf in sheep's clothes and his support is dwindling. Even the right-wing Wall Street Journal mentioned several weeks ago that Obama was "running for Bush's third term."

It isn't that the public is warming to the right-wing doofus, John McCain. It's that the public has cooled to the right-wing Obama.

GOP platform backs off Arctic oil to help McCain By MARTIGA LOHN, Associated Press Writer

2 hours, 55 minutes ago



MINNEAPOLIS - Republicans are putting John McCain's presidential prospects above their wish to drill for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Members of the GOP platform committee voted Wednesday to stick with an energy plank that doesn't mention drilling in the refuge, saying it would only highlight an area where they differ with the Arizona senator. McCain opposes drilling in that protected land, and some committee members said they would rather bring him around on the issue once he's in the White House than widen their disagreement now.

"He's not there yet," said delegate Jeff Grossman of Oregon. "Prudence would dictate that we leave the text as it is until our candidate catches up with us."

Delegates endorsed expanded drilling generally, both offshore and in Alaska, North Dakota and Montana, and declared that the Alaskan refuge should not be put off limits to the oil industry permanently.

McCain doesn't have to follow the platform and it's unclear whether he will give it much weight; presidential candidates often don't. But the 112-member committee working on the statement of party principles in Minneapolis is trying not to stray too far from McCain's views, while also satisfying the conservative base.

Republicans are also doing a balancing act on climate change.

The platform being debated acknowledges a human role in increased carbon emissions that are warming the atmosphere, while also calling for climate change policies that are "global in nature, based on sound science and technology" and don't hurt the economy. The document also decries "no-growth radicalism" and says solutions should not "force Americans to sacrifice their way of life or trim their hopes and dreams for their children."

Committee member Trey Grayson of Kentucky called the document "the greenest platform we've ever had."

Answer 9

Another flip Obama flop

Answer 10

looks like a good choice to me

Answer 11

of course thats what they do best

Answer 12

Actually they are hoping that people will forget that the VP has absolutely no power to affect anything and that Obama will be at the controls unless someone pops a cap at him. I'd laugh my backside off if McCain picked Clinton.  

Answer 13

Members of the party haven't changed, but the Obama campaign has shown it's true colors,,,,,,hypocrites!

Anyone who thinks the VP has no power has learned nothing in the last 8 years.

Answer 14

They were just jealous honey they knew  we had the leader, and they never  speak or move until we give them the pattern.  yeah I like it like that.  You know how Hillary always had to  go  first  So Obama knew  what to say.  don't you just love it.  

Answer 15

Yes, they flipped and it is a flop.

Answer 16

More than that it rubber stamps Braq Obam's earlier proclamations that he is not a democrat.

I believe the Obama Party is a bloodless coup

Answer 17

I'm a conservative Republican, was seriously considering voting for Obama. I'm disgusted the way President Bush has run the USA. He has prevented another 9/11 (thankfully), picking Biden just gave my vote to McCain.

Another Dem choice of mid-west and eastern culture, still don't have a clue west of the Mississippi. Sure, they have Pelosi playing patty cake in SF, again, the Dems lost me.
