Lest you doubt whether he’s really a diehard Democrat or merely, a la those pro-Obama “lifelong Republicans” the media always seems to find, a conservative who’s donated to the left on occasion, here’s his page at Open Secrets. True blue.
Coale may be the first Hillaryite I’ve heard of who’s supporting Maverick mainly because he’s a maverick and not because of some exaggerated sense of grievance over Hillary’s treatment — although the line about the party being taken over by MoveOn.org is tantalizing in its implications. Exit quotation: “I think she’s great.” Click the image to watch.

Already been messin’ with him- I’m not impressed.
Well then- I caught MB4 in a lie of omission over Biden’s draft deferments; He quoted a news article explaining the deferments but LEFT OUT the statement (from the very same article) that Biden’s own autobiography sited perfect health as an athelete and lifeguard.
Sounds kinda trollish- no?

Sounds kind of LIARISH-no? Sounds like a typical Liberal liar.

They are both absolute Clinton lovers. I don’t know why. The husband once nearly punched out Mark Levin for denigrating Bill.
Rush has said that we want Dem’s to come to our side by coming to our views, not going out to meet them. I know it helps McCain if so-called “independents” vote for him, but if people are having a hard time differentiating between Hillary and McCain, and see them as interchangeable, that is worrisome.
I suppose there’s no reason to take this slimy guy at face value.. If there’s such a thing as an angry Hillary voter, he’s it. Not sure his “support” is the kind you’d like to have to count on.

This is huge. Just enough of this kind of Democrat with the integrity to admit what that party has become, and we’re talking a McCain/Palin landslide on November 4.

I think there will be a lot more defections coming. The truth is anybody with a brain can see the moonbat.orgs are leading the Dems to destruction.

So, Gretas hubby was an active campaigner for HRC. I really didn’t know. I knew she was one of the more liberal folks at Fox. But then, they seem to remain more objective at Fox regardless of their bent. Sort of blows the argument that Fox is so biased. Except for Joe Scarbourough, MSNBC doesn’t have anything close to hiding their opinion.
Welcome to the light side of the force John, bring Greta with you.

my spouse, a forever Democrat– a social worker who deals with abused and neglected children and elders, and must intervene in such families– has struggled to accept my new post- 9/11 understanding of the world. yet sometimes I’ve gotten through here and there, to open his mind a bit, to a reality beyond the liberal platitudes of our culture. (I struggle too with enlightening our teens, immersed as they are in public schools….but that’s another story….)
so, for what it’s worth, my spouse was totally annoyed by the blowhard biden pick & the rude dismissal of hillary & I think he realizes that the far left has, in fact, taken over his party, tho’ it’s hard for him to actually admit this;
I don’t ever push too hard or argue angrily…. I just trust he will see it for himself, with some gentle comments here and there. yet it is not easy to “switch”, as it means also, for example, accepting that the media is now controlled by liberals, and is not unbiased, after all, i.e. questioning the news we are fed and long-held beliefs …. I showed him David Mamet’s about-face last fall in the Village Voice which was of great interest…
meanwhile he has been rather approving of palin thus far, including her clean-house reforms, as well as mccain’s integrity.
I remain hopeful for him, and others like him, as evidenced in this thread….

this teenage party girl daughter is just the first skeleton out of her closet.
No proof that she’s a “party girl” at all and you know it.
This is your last warning to change your tone.

Very revealing that Coale says he wouldn’t be working for Republicans below the presidential level.I think that may
be the case for many liberals who see an extreme turn left
in a Manchurian candidate like Obama.

Yaknow, the irony really stands out: Why was it called MoveOn.org again?

Tony,
“Cool, but how many does he bring with him? That’s what matters”
It won’t take a lot to make a significant difference.

Read Harry Stein’s most excellent “How I Accidentally Joined the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and Found Inner Peace.”
Similar in tone to Mamet’s epiphany in the Voice but funnier.
McCain/Palin ‘08 VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Newsweek lady was really trying to get him to change his mind back, but he stuck to his guns. good for him. I think like he said that this is just a sampling of what is to come, maybe Billyboy
