..are not enough to make Obama shed his accommodation of the GOP - what will it take?  Doesn't this guy have any standards?

Will Obama define what "wisdom" he locates in the GOP?  I'm waiting.

so much for bush mania! flowing rhetoric (written by someone else) and verbally challenged and neither has real common sense!

i try and not watch jay lino where they ask people on the street questions about geography, etc. the amount of uninformed and poorly educated people boggles the mind. not to say that uneducated make poor political choices all the time. often they rely on good common sense which many have. my neighbor is a retired attorney who has his law degree from harvard. he is voting for obama.

i just wish folks would indulge in critical thinking.

Please tell me how Obama "praises" Republicans here.

Yep (5.00 / 2) (#15)

Not a kind word at all for the GOP there.

Nor a negative one for Hillary for distrusting the GOP.

You are funny.

There is a difference between "praising" somebody/something and saying saying a kind word about somebody/something, and you know it.

by Big Tent Democrat on Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 09:05:20 AM EST
no I do not see the difference.

Tell me, can you find the argument for why voters should vote for Democrats in that statement? I sure can't.

for me, I do not think the republican party has been the "party of ideas" for the last few decades.
I do not think Reagan was transformational beyond transforming trees to polluters and ketchup to a food group.

I can't either.  But that was not related to what Obama was saying.

I understand what you are saying, and I understand where you are coming from.

But lets be honest - this statement was made to get Republicans to like him, and in turn vote for him even though his policies are are the "left" end of the spectrum of those in the Senate.

They are? (5.00 / 1) (#52)
by Florida Resident on Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 09:15:03 AM EST
funny but I thought both Obama and Hillary are more to the center of the political spectrum.

[ Parent ]
they are... (none / 0) (#62)
by mindfulmission on Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 09:18:27 AM EST
... but not among Senators and Democrats.

I have said this numerous times.  Both Clinton and Obama are moderately progressive, and not nearly as progressive as I would like them to be.

BUT... both are more progressive than most of their colleagues in the Senate.

why not actually comment on what I am saying.
