Like many Democrats who crossed party lines during the 1980s and voted for Republican President Ronald Reagan, many prominent Republicans have either endorsed or demonstrated support for Democratic Presidential Candidate Barrack Obama.   They include General Colin Powell, Peggy Noonan, Christopher Buckley, Susan Eisenhower, and many others.

There is even a web site    http://www.republicansforobama.org/    devoted to Republicans for Obama, which provides information for anyone interested.  

Some people have speculated that McCain's choice of Palin as his VP has been the reason for Republicans moving to support Obama. 

Others suggest that it is his lack of substantive positions on the important issues that is causing Republicans to cross over.

What do think is the primary reason that so many Republicans are now supporting Obama over McCain?


Could we be witnessing a change in the "fabric" of the Republican party?

Ok after Bidens speech Obama attributes it to what he calls Rhetorical Flourishes. He goes on to say that when the president is "tested" He - Obama will pass the test by taking America in a new direction, by making new partnerships not based on ideology? Who exactly does he plan to partner with? And do our allies know? This is one scary dude.

OK here is the Marxist definition of ideology when you read Karl Marx you start to see where Obama is coming from and it aint pretty.

Ideology as an instrument of social reproduction

Karl Marx proposed that a society's dominant ideology was a part of its superstructure.Karl Marx proposed an economic base/superstructure model of society. The base refers to the means of production of society. The superstructure is formed on top of the base, and comprises that society's ideology, as well as its legal system, political system, and religions. For Marx, the base determines the superstructure. Because the ruling class controls the society's means of production, the superstructure of society, including its ideology, will be determined according to what is in the ruling class's best interests. Therefore the ideology of a society is of enormous importance since it confuses the alienated groups and can create 'false consciousness' such as the fetishism of commodities. Critics of the Marxist approach feel that it attributes too much importance to economic factors in influencing society.

Obama is now bold enough to announce his Marxist beliefs on national tv as his new direction and you guys are not listening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up.
Wake up.

Obama talks like his views are his and are new as if we never heard of Karl Marx.

Kippp, here is my statement again:

"They include General Colin Powell, Peggy Noonan, Christopher Buckley, Susan Eisenhower, and many others."

Please notice the words "and many others" at the end of the sentence. If you want more names, you might want to go the the Web site that I included in the post.

BTW, I am not really surprise that you don't know Colin Powell, Peggy Noonan, or any of the others.

It has been obvious for some time and is again, that many of you have been subjected to the dissemination of misinformation, falsehoods, and even absurdities regarding Obama's positions, ethnicity, citizenship, etc.

It is ashamed that such information has been used to victimize all of you. It must be a terrible feeling to be duped in such a manner, and I can understand your sometimes displaced anger.

The Republicans for Obama web site that I provided the link for will clear up those misconceptions that you have had, and should pave the way for you voting for Obama with a clear conscious and in the best interest of our nation.

It also appears as though the Republican party is likely to move to more of a centrist position like the Democratic party did during the Reagan era. This should be the beginning of a rapid healing process.

Well lets see I did hear the Almighty Obama admit about his muslim faith and proud of it. It was the Liberal media who nudged him upon the slip for him to change and say his "christian faith". That was no slip up Shadows. His muslim faith is going to open the borders of our country for any of our enemies to come in the U.S. and do whatever they want and he won't do a thing. A muslims faith takes presedence over anything else. I also heard him tell everyone how he will take my hard earned money from my earned successes and give it to some lazy asses who don't want to work and/or pay taxes. So Shadows and any other supporter of the Almighty Obama will you pay my portion of what he intends to take from me and give to those in this country who want success but don't want to work for it? They want it handed to them on a silver platter. All in the name of success...

Its_Just_CommnSense, Obviously you haven't visited the Republicans for Obama Website that I provided the link for or you wouldn't be spewing the same old proved false talking/attack points. You might want to visit it so that you don't continue to sound so foolish.

However, it is interesting that you seem to be so protective of our country and its freedoms, yet you also seem to want to do away with freedom of religion. Did you hear Gen Powell mention the Muslim soldier who had died in Iraq fighting for his country------the United States of America?

Freedom of religion is also what enabled Sarah Palin who was born into a Roman Catholic family, to later change religions and attend a Pentecostal church. Why don't you deal with the facts for a change?
