Conservatives for Obama
So what are we to make about all the conservatives abandoning their evil greedy, homophobic, warmongering, racist, sexist ways in order to cast their vote for Sen. Barry Obama? Absolutely nothing, I say. The San Francisco Chronicle, on the other hand, thinks this is big news.
On Monday, July 7th, the Gay Bay's paper of record had
an article about "prominent" conservatives who are supporting Sen. Barry Obama for President. Why?
Roger Kimball, commenting on
Thomas Sowell's excellent article on the Obamacon phenomenon, put it best:
"It’s partly sour grapes–John McCain is not the dream candidate, ergo
some conservatives are planning–or say they are planning–to vote for
someone who is closer to a conservative nightmare. And it’s partly
wishful thinking. Conservatives point out that Obama has been moving
toward the center in his recent speeches, but it is (at best) a fantasy
to believe that what a man says is more important than what he does,
and Obama has done plenty to belie his recent centrist noises."
Sour grapes, wishful thinking and fantasy. That about sums it up almost all support Sen. B.H. Obama has, given how wishy-washy he when he does speak.
BTW, don't hold your breath waiting for San Fran Nan's hometown paper to provide a report titled, "Why some liberals are backing McCain."
