"The Obamacons — that’s to say, conservatives hot for Barack- – justify their decision to support a big-spending big-government Democrat with the most liberal voting record in the Senate by “hoping” that he doesn’t mean it, by “hoping” that he’ll “change” in office...
The “change” we’ll get isn’t hard to discern: An expansion of government, an increase in taxes, a greater annexation of the dynamic part of the economy by the sclerotic bureaucracy, a reduction in economic liberty.." --Mark Steyn
David Brooks is always pandering to the left. He calls himself a conservative yet every liberal is better than any conservative. David I have known conservatives, conservatives are my friends you sir are NO conservative!
Brooks is a RINO period, his head is so far up Barry's ass he needs a snorkel to breathe and mercerjohn, your a raging liberal that wouldnt vote for any republican so your words are hollow. The GOP never had you nor I suspect want you.
@Naviculaie Brooks stated a telling fact on Charlie Rose this week. The teabaggers are against educated people. They want everyone out of congress and yet, they have nobody to put up as their leader. It certainly isn't Palin, unless the Teabaggers want to just be Republicans. They might as well be, but I'm not sure they want to be labeled as such - they think they are on to something new here called being "pissed-off". Yeah - that's never happened before.
David Brooks is a clown. He is a "Conservative" whose popularity is primarily due to his appeal to Liberals. Just scan the David Brooks videos. He is the commentator that Liberals always hold up as "the Conservative who disagrees with the Conservatives." So here we have a video where David Brooks gives his support to Obama. Yawn.. Can anyone find a video where David Brooks favors a Conservative over a Liberal? Let me know if you ever find one.
@yahazif Come on - You have to play fair here. Brooks is more conservative than liberal by far - even though you can tell he's just going along for the ride sometimes ;)
@yahazif Whoa dude! I'm not going to play your game. I watch Brooks on the television all the time and he is the lone voice of the conservative point of view more often than not. "More often than not" meaning that, yes, he has supported conservative views. Man! Don't get so F'n testy. You are NO FUN.
@yahazif Yeah - okay, fine. You got it! No - I am only pointing out that whenever a "conservative" happens" to accept things that happen the way they do in the real world they get attacked from the kooks on the - Man - I can't say "the right" because these people seem to be from the F'n moon. Yeah - Brooks is a commie lib, everyone!

Uhhmm yeah good one, racial stereotypes, how original, good for you! So tell us deviant dumbass, how much does it suck to be an imperceptive backwards thinking racist right now?
A black man in the White House. Must be more than your shorted out recepters can handle right now. Gee, you must be close to snapping even, ahh the angry neo-con cracker is back. Welcome back loser. The next eight years will be just grand won't they? To think, 4 yrs ago, it looked so good for you.
I love sticking my finger in the eyes of these racist dumbasses (talking to you DeviantFormula), but I don't think I could have done a better job than tomistube just did. Good job, comrade. Always remember, they are irrelevant...'08 was a LANDSLIDE victory; millions of WHITE, SENSIBLE PEOPLE VOTED FOR A BLACK MAN TO BE POTUS. Sit on that one, Deviant Dumbass.
Republicans were told to support Obama to bring down Hillary. Once the tides were turned and Obama was far ahead in the polls, Limbaugh had us vote for Hillary to extend the Democrat nomination and create dissention in their ranks.
As you see now, it worked. Millions of Hillary supporters are not voting for Obama and their convention is already setting up to be a fiasco.
David Brooks was in on it. He is so anti-Obama now
All Republicans know that McCain is a longtime member of North Pheonix Baptist Church. You never hear about it because they are not political and non-controversial.
Unlike Obama's church which promotes politics in their congregation and spouts racial hatred and anti-American Marxist insanity.
Are you insane, look up the global poverty act. bush sucks because he is a regular democrat. No child left behind = More federal control of education is a democrat idea. preemptive war is a democrat idea. more taxes=democrats. Fuck Obama and his globalist ideas, he wants more troops in afghanistan! you people are idiots, obama and McCain would both be 4 more years of Bush. Bush is a neocon. Neocon = Democrat. Look outside the box and vote for Bob Barr or Chuck Baldwin this year.
For many months, we've been teased, even derided for talking about hope. But we always knew that hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it and to work for it and to fight for it.-obama
Good one Tim! LOL....that was funny but it's sad that he's dead now. I wonder if he knows who will be president in 2008. RIP Tim Russert. Yeah, and i don't think that what David Brooks said is true anymore, with 5 months to go. Go Obama!!!!
Russert sees everything within the old political paradigm (and ratings, and his pumpkin-head ego). His disparaging statement that "it's a calculated political move within the Obama campaign" to actually listen and relate to alternate (ie, conservative) perspectives, shows he does not get it. Obama wants to be the President not just of those who elect him, but of all Americans.
It's called integrity, Tim Russert. Don't slap your clumsy labels on it.
Yeah, like Republicans are going to vote for a 20 year member of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's "God Damn America" Church. Yeah, that really makes a lot of sense.
Exactly the opposite is true. McCain's biggest vulnerability is that many of the true-believers on the right don't want to vote for him and may not show up on election day. If Hillary is McCain's opponent, that will change. They will turn out in droves because their hatred for her far outweighs their dissatisfaction with McCain. David Brooks, by the way, is not one of "them." He's just a tad right of center.
Obama is a muslim raised in Indonesia trained by Al-Qaeda Al-Zarqwari. He took part in the be-heading of Daniel Pearl..Do you still want him as the us president??
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
White people had better wise up. Blacks are supporting Obama just for that reason. We are on the brink of a race war-support your own race, or lose it all!!
Actually, young people are supporting Obama. I doubt this is much of a hate race war between whites and black... unless you're a part of the KKK or some other white supremacy group. I may not want Obama to be Pres. for a bunch of reasons, but It's definitely NOT because he's black.
As loathe John McCain, I would NEVER consider Barrack "Obummer" and here's why: -ONLY in the senate for 2 years and missed 1/5 votes -ONLY succeeded in one bill to give relief to Rep. of Congo -NO experience in healthcare reform -NO experience in foreign policy -NO experience in executive leadership -NO experience or plans to solve illegal immigration fairly -NO experience in the economy -NO respect for our flag, pledge, or soldiers -NOTHING more than smooth-talk NO WAY HE'S GETTING MY VOTE!
u would rather vote for MCcain...keep the bush era going...trillion dollar debt,bad healthcar, countries hate us, war....u would rather VOTE for mccain than obama!!!
The Obama battle cry: "DEATH TO CONSERVATIVES!" I despise McCain, but I KNOW that Obama is definitely NOT qualified to lead this country. All he's done is speak fluently and use the weak minded Bush-haters to sing his praises. I only agree that I disagree with him on every issue. For instance: a woman had a partial birth abortion, but the baby lived. Obama said that that same women should have the right to kill the baby anyway. He has wife and a daughter, but no respect for the sanctity of life.
I completetly respect ur views, I myself am I republican but McCanin is practically a democrat, his immigration views are the same as Obama's, HE IS THE SAME! he has flopped on tons of issues recently now that he is running as a republican that does not mean he'll keep them as prez. I am a conservative as u are, but its time to move away from the BUSH era, end this war!!! and Mccain wants to stay in Iraq 100 yrs. So i respect ur decision, but as a republican I am voting for Obamam
In essence, JM is a panderer and a media circus performer and I HATE JM as much as any true breed Rep. but his views are far more conservative than BO's. Even HC is more conservative compared to BO. What I'm hoping for is JM choosing a good VP and then - with his old age and temper - die of a heart attack. I'd rather have someone like Romney or Guliani or Thompson, those ships sail by America, unfortunatley. It's my first time voting in an election and my choices are "bad" or "worse".
Yeah I'm totatlly embarassed with the Republican party for selecting this idiot! But u know we had republican in the house for 8 yrs, and he has worsened our counrty....so as much as i wish romney would be in...the fact is even if mccain has a great vice, the vice WONT influence at all. Take Al Gore for example, or chenny they dont do much compared to the prez himself. The conservative time was 8 yrs ago. we need someone with a new direction to clean up the mess...as much as i dislike obama...

Take Al Gore for example, or chenny they dont do much compared to the prez himself. The conservative time was 8 yrs ago. we need someone with a new direction to clean up the mess...as much as i dislike obama...
Just take a look at obama's speeches, what he says. Mabye he doesn't quite fit with our conservative policies...but he's not about isolating conswervatives, he's about embracing us. He said he would elect conservative cabninet members. We will have a vioce in his govt....u kno just be open minded and look at a couple of his speeches, mabye u'll like him a little more(though i don't expect u too lol)don't be the close minded conservative sterotype that liberals call us lol
But you see, his speeches are all we have to go by. I have been on S&D for three years as a platform speaker and I know his type of people and their capabilities of persuasion. It's obvious when JM switches sides and panders because he's terrible at it, but when you take someone like BO who is both a lawyer, a senator, and a guru of the convincing calibre, it is hard to discern when he says something that contradicts himself or embraces a paradoxical mentality.
Frankly, It's his job to be convincing, even as it is my opinion to convince you that he doesn't convince me. It's not that I'm closed-minded, it's just the fact that he really doesn't have a substantial amount of experience or merit to his political name. If he was a guy on my S&D team, we'd probably be good friends, granted we'd disagree politically, but who doesn't! However, looking at him as the leader of our country just seems idealistic when he has only been a senator for 2 years.
So what it all boils down to when I make my final decision is experience. I'd have supported MR or RG or even BR in a pinch because all three of them posses the leadership experience that translates into being a good Pres such as problem solving, budget balancing, and leadership accountability. Sadly, many people have voted with their "media" eyes and ears instead of thinking out each person's qualifications, so we're left with three senators who, in reality, just vote (BO only 80% in 2 years!)
And I bet that his precious Rev. Wright hasn't read the bible either because if he did he wouldn't say half the stupid things he preaches. But I guess it pays to make people feel like their the victims and then pretend to be their savior. If Obama can't severe his connection with someone that liberal, imagine what he's going to do as president (*shudder*). His book isn't even that great, but because Oprah gave her endorsement, every person is willing to jump on the Obama bandwagon!
His books hardly mention his platform, it is like they are in court and they are trying to convince you that obama has good character, instead of trying to prove him innocent. The Fed is not a conspiracy. it exists, it is not needed, it is unconstitutional, and has amplified depressions over the past 100 years. artificial manipulation of the interest rate causes mal-investments, and also transfers the wealth from the poor to the rich
I completetly respect ur views, I myself am I republican but McCanin is practically a democrat, his immigration views are the same as Obama's, HE IS THE SAME! he has flopped on tons of issues recently now that he is running as a republican that does not mean he'll keep them as prez.

So i respect ur decision, but as a republican I am voting for Obamam
You really don't know who is qualified to lead this country because your qualifications for leadership are so narrow... for one thing, you neglect to mention that in regards to the partial birth issue his stance was that the mother's life was at risk. He does respect the sanctity of life -- the sanctity of the life of the mother and that the position was for "extreme cases". I really can't quite understand why you anti-abortion people worship the fetus so much.
abortion is a manufactured issue. my favorite candidate is "pro life," yet I think abortion should be legal. It is a trivial issue, and I don't care about it.
Vote for a two-faced, hot-headed liar who is about as Republican as donkey wearing an elephant trunk
OR
Vote for a psychotic, emotionally unbalanced woman who is about as sincere as a rabid poodle
OR
Vote for a smooth-talking lawyer who has had less than 2 years of congressional experience, all the while hating our flag, our pledge, and even the name of our country
OR
Waste my vote on another candidate
The political groundhog predicts at least another 4 more years of bad policy!
The fact that McCain is not a true republicans is the only good thing about him. Last thing this nation needs is another dumb @ss lying sack of human $hit republican in charge.
But if you ask me, he is a republican. Meaning I would never vote for his stupid arse.
As loathe John McCain, I would NEVER consider Barrack "Obummer" and here's why: -ONLY in the senate for 2 years and missed 1/5 votes -ONLY succeeded in one bill to give relief to Rep. of Congo -NO experience in healthcare reform -NO experience in foreign policy -NO experience in executive leadership -NO experience or plans to solve illegal immigration fairly -NO experience in the economy -NO respect for our flag, pledge, or soldiers -NOTHING more than smooth-talk NO WAY HE'S GETTING MY VOTE!

Obama's a liar just like the rest of them. He wont change anything, lets just hope Hillary doesn't get elected. Real change is Ron Paul thats why they don't talk about him.
if your trying to be clever make it more than a sentence. The fact remains though that Obama is nothing more than than a creole who cares nothing about the despair of minorities. If your looking for a change in washington it better have more to do with the color of someone's skin. Again he's a liar just like the rest. Is he even going to stop the war? No.
Well Ron Paul isn't even on the washington inside. Thats why it takes 100,000's of people giving him money to make his campaign possible. Obama gets his money from the same place Hillary Clinton does and George W. Bush did. The facts are there, its up to you to make a decision. Whether its a stupid or an informed one is also up to you.
You are stupid. You think this is about republicans and democrats? LOL they're owned by the same people! Hillary will railroad Obama, guaranteed. It doesn't even matter because they will both start war with Iran, and neither will end the Iraq war. Either president will reside over the downfall of the west. Obama cant do SHIT about it, nor is he going to, BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T RUN THE COUNTRY ANYMORE. We've got commissions, committees, and lobbyists to do that! So start gettin used to it!
beyotch you're stupid. dems and those right wing lunatics are night and day. If Al Gore was our president this country would be lot better of right now.
No you really have no idea whats going on. The media doesn't even talk about the issues that matter, and issues that do, like the economy and the war, don't even get taken seriously or explained thoroughly. Who has talked about the dollar crisis in this race? Republicans. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about, though. And guess how many republicans started a war in the 20th century? 0. Maybe if you realized that this isn't like a fucking football game you'd look into some of this.
Oh, clever man made a list. Which one am I guilty of?
-"Bandwagon effect"- A revolution isn't a half-assed deal. How much of the country supported independence in 1776?
-"Appeal to rebellion"- A little more to this one than born to be wild. Do you like taking it in the ass, or are you going to turn around and sock them in the face?
-"shotgun.."- This is bound to happen with 450 chart. limit!
-"Straw Man"- I bet you think CNN and the Wall Street Journal are credible!
-"Snob Appeal"- Not saying I know everything, but don't turn to the corporate media complex for straight answers. I don't have it all figured out I just know when I'm being lied to! And then you go on to say I just want to believe in this so bad, I'm willing to screw my perception? You're perception is screwed, have you even heard of the Military Industrial Complex? You cannot even imagine what it is capable of. It was a term dubbed by Eisenhower, a much greater man than Obama or Clinton.
I could argue u point for point, but that could go on forever. U would actually be surprised on how many "facts" we both agree on. I know about the Fed & the Military Industrial Complex, etc. It's a question of pragmatism & keeping it all in perspective. There IS a certain frenetic mental illness (often unfortunately coincident with genius) that chooses the conspiracy/revolution route. Impractical. Why don't u start by reading Obama's books. I'll mail them to you if you like.
Yup.. If you say stupid things you will end up on Youtube!!

This is Operation Chaos. Rush Limbaugh's baby.
Republicans were told to support Obama to bring down Hillary. Once the tides were turned and Obama was far ahead in the polls, Limbaugh had us vote for Hillary to extend the Democrat nomination and create dissention in their ranks.
As you see now, it worked. Millions of Hillary supporters are not voting for Obama and their convention is already setting up to be a fiasco.
David Brooks was in on it. He is so anti-Obama now

All Republicans know that McCain is a longtime member of North Pheonix Baptist Church. You never hear about it because they are not political and non-controversial.
Unlike Obama's church which promotes politics in their congregation and spouts racial hatred and anti-American Marxist insanity.

Are you insane, look up the global poverty act. bush sucks because he is a regular democrat. No child left behind = More federal control of education is a democrat idea. preemptive war is a democrat idea. more taxes=democrats. Fuck Obama and his globalist ideas, he wants more troops in afghanistan! you people are idiots, obama and McCain would both be 4 more years of Bush. Bush is a neocon. Neocon = Democrat.

For many months, we've been teased, even derided for talking about hope. But we always knew that hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it and to work for it and to fight for it.-obama

Russert sees everything within the old political paradigm (and ratings, and his pumpkin-head ego). His disparaging statement that "it's a calculated political move within the Obama campaign" to actually listen and relate to alternate (ie, conservative) perspectives, shows he does not get it. Obama wants to be the President not just of those who elect him, but of all Americans.
It's called integrity, Tim Russert. Don't slap your clumsy labels on it.

Exactly the opposite is true. McCain's biggest vulnerability is that many of the true-believers on the right don't want to vote for him and may not show up on election day. If Hillary is McCain's opponent, that will change. They will turn out in droves because their hatred for her far outweighs their dissatisfaction with McCain. David Brooks, by the way, is not one of "them." He's just a tad right of center.

The Obama battle cry: "DEATH TO CONSERVATIVES!" I despise McCain, but I KNOW that Obama is definitely NOT qualified to lead this country. All he's done is speak fluently and use the weak minded Bush-haters to sing his praises. I only agree that I disagree with him on every issue. For instance: a woman had a partial birth abortion, but the baby lived. Obama said that that same women should have the right to kill the baby anyway. He has wife and a daughter, but no respect for the sanctity of life.

chaddy91 3 years ago
In essence, JM is a panderer and a media circus performer and I HATE JM as much as any true breed Rep. but his views are far more conservative than BO's. Even HC is more conservative compared to BO. What I'm hoping for is JM choosing a good VP and then - with his old age and temper - die of a heart attack. I'd rather have someone like Romney or Guliani or Thompson, those ships sail by America, unfortunatley. It's my first time voting in an election and my choices are "bad" or "worse".

Yeah I'm totatlly embarassed with the Republican party for selecting this idiot!

Take Al Gore for example, or chenny they dont do much compared to the prez himself. The conservative time was 8 yrs ago. we need someone with a new direction to clean up the mess...as much as i dislike obama...

Just take a look at obama's speeches, what he says. Mabye he doesn't quite fit with our conservative policies...but he's not about isolating conswervatives, he's about embracing us. He said he would elect conservative cabninet members. We will have a vioce in his govt....u kno just be open minded and look at a couple of his speeches, mabye u'll like him a little more(though i don't expect u too lol)don't be the close minded conservative sterotype that liberals call us lol
chaddy91 3 years ago
But you see, his speeches are all we have to go by. I have been on S&D for three years as a platform speaker and I know his type of people and their capabilities of persuasion. It's obvious when JM switches sides and panders because he's terrible at it, but when you take someone like BO who is both a lawyer, a senator, and a guru of the convincing calibre, it is hard to discern when he says something that contradicts himself or embraces a paradoxical mentality.
nerdofthenight99 3 years ago
Frankly, It's his job to be convincing, even as it is my opinion to convince you that he doesn't convince me. It's not that I'm closed-minded, it's just the fact that he really doesn't have a substantial amount of experience or merit to his political name. If he was a guy on my S&D team, we'd probably be good friends, granted we'd disagree politically, but who doesn't! However, looking at him as the leader of our country just seems idealistic when he has only been a senator for 2 years.
nerdofthenight99 3 years ago
So what it all boils down to when I make my final decision is experience. I'd have supported MR or RG or even BR in a pinch because all three of them posses the leadership experience that translates into being a good Pres such as problem solving, budget balancing, and leadership accountability. Sadly, many people have voted with their "media" eyes and ears instead of thinking out each person's qualifications, so we're left with three senators who, in reality, just vote (BO only 80% in 2 years!)

And I bet that his precious Rev. Wright hasn't read the bible either because if he did he wouldn't say half the stupid things he preaches. But I guess it pays to make people feel like their the victims and then pretend to be their savior. If Obama can't severe his connection with someone that liberal, imagine what he's going to do as president (*shudder*). His book isn't even that great, but because Oprah gave her endorsement, every person is willing to jump on the Obama bandwagon!
nerdofthenight99 3 years ago
His books hardly mention his platform, it is like they are in court and they are trying to convince you that obama has good character, instead of trying to prove him innocent. The Fed is not a conspiracy. it exists, it is not needed, it is unconstitutional, and has amplified depressions over the past 100 years. artificial manipulation of the interest rate causes mal-investments, and also transfers the wealth from the poor to the rich

You really don't know who is qualified to lead this country because your qualifications for leadership are so narrow... for one thing, you neglect to mention that in regards to the partial birth issue his stance was that the mother's life was at risk. He does respect the sanctity of life -- the sanctity of the life of the mother and that the position was for "extreme cases". I really can't quite understand why you anti-abortion people worship the fetus so much.
