Moderate conservative: Gee, maybe I shouldn’t have voted for Obama
posted at 5:24 pm on May 28, 2009 by Allahpundit
Turns out he’s an inexperienced statist liberal. Oh, and evidently the media’s in the tank for him. Who knew?
Admittedly, I was one of the moderate conservatives who was wooed by Obama during his PR campaign to become the country’s next president. Sadly, even though I was still unsure of my vote until the week before the election, I know better now. I truly had no idea he would turn out to be the radical tax and spend liberal he’s revealed. Since the beginning of his presidency, Obama seems more interested in making policies and decisions that grab headlines than those in the best interests of the country. The announcement of his whopping $3 trillion budget, trailing the $800 billion bank bailout, was shocking and yet the media seemed to rally around him. The president wants to do everything at one time, national healthcare, economy, taxes (wealth redistribution), clean energy, infrastructure, education and more. He acts very king-like, expecting Congress to endorse everything he floats their way, but his high octane PR strategy–loaded with smiles and good oratory may be fading…
These recent events, the planned closing of Gitmo and “CIA-gate”, have made the president look very inexperienced and unpolished in his ability to lead the nation and only widened the partisan bickering in Washington. Oh, yeah and Speaker Pelosi’s memory lapse over when and what she knew about waterboarding looks sloppy, as if she’s trying to hide the truth. It doesn’t help the president and certainly doesn’t look like change we can believe in or need.
“A smile and eloquent speech won’t make it all right,” she concludes. Why not? It was good enough to win the presidency. Enjoy this, though, because if you think Buckley, Noonan, Parker or any other “conservative” who was soft on The One during the campaign is going to feed their ego a shinola sandwich over it in print the way this woman has, you’re kidding yourselves. In fact, Buckley’s already written a defense of his vote, the basic logic of which was that Obama’s a disaster but still one cool cat. Sigh.

I hate to break it to you Allah, but Crystal Wright is a “she”.

Proof positive again: average conservatives are much smarter than moderate pundits.
There were, what, 58 million of us who saw through Obama? Most, from the beginning.

I honestly do not understand how any conservative, moderate or otherwise could vote for Obama. I consider myself moderate in some ways and I would not vote for this guy if you put a gun to my head.
Terrye on May 28, 2009 at 5:28 PM

I would say they are smarter than pundits in general. Not just moderate ones.

I’ll be honest here, looked at the chick’s picture, she was blinded by race. Not to be self-righteous but, I was tempted for hmm…about five seconds.
youngO on May 28, 2009 at 5:29 PM
The thing that annoys me the most are the conservatives who did see through Obama and still refused to vote for McCain.
Terrye on May 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Hopefully more of these “duped” voters will begin to see the fog lifting from their eyes. As more speak out, more will be encouraged to do so. Thus begins the blowback.
Mallard T. Drake on May 28, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Apparently, if the media is be believed, the ‘Chrystal Wrights’ of the world need to be won over if conservatism is to influence our nation. So, how do we win over these

UltimateBob on May 28, 2009 at 5:32 PM
We hear praise of a power-wielding, arm-twisting President who “gets his program through Congress” by knowing the use of power. Throughout the course of history, there have been many other such wielders of power. There have even been dictators who regularly held plebiscites, in which their dictatorships were approved by an Ivory-soap-like percentage of the electorate. But their countries were not free, nor can any country remain free under such despotic power. Some of the current worship of powerful executives may come from those who admire strength and accomplishment of any sort. Others hail the display of Presidential strength simply because they approve of the result reached by the use of power. This is nothing less than the totalitarian philosophy that the end justifies the means. If ever there was a philosophy of government totally at war with that of the Founding Fathers, it is this one.

“Gee, I can’t understand how a man that was raised by Marxists, had terrorists as mentors and worked tirelessly his adult life in academia to destroy the democratic system of the United States would turn out to be the radical tax and spend liberal he’s revealed.”
If these idiots are the ones that call themselves moderate conservatives I don’t want them in my party.
Agent of the Cross on May 28, 2009 at 5:33 PM
My guess would be if it gets so bad that these fools admit they were wrong I will have already killed myself./

It will be interesting to see the way Noonan et al behave this time around now that they’ve seen the results of their stupidity.

I usually can understand other people’s positions on most topics. I cannot understand how anyone can be surprised at Bambi’s radicalism. I’m completely baffled by that.
Bugler on May 28, 2009 at 5:37 PM
Hello! Roughly half the country was willing to put McCain in office, just to keep President Obama out! It’s not like we didn’t try to raise the alarm.
It’s 1992 all over again. “Whoops, guys, I was wrong about the Democrat.”
Buckley isn’t a conservative; he’s, as far as I can tell, a plain-jane Republican, more in the mold of Bush 41. But he writes exceptionally well, as does Noonan, and I hope they come to their senses. At any rate, I don’t think Noonan, Parker, or Buckley were/are fully conservative, in the fusionist-NR sense.

I suspect she emphasis’s the moderate much more than the conservative.
MarkTheGreat on May 28, 2009 at 5:38 PM
I give her credit for admitting she was bamboozled.
pearson on May 28, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Well, it looks like Obama has started doing it for us, just as Carter did with his ineptitude. In Obama’s case, he’s taking on so many huge new spending initiatives right off the bat that he seems to be creating a “HOLY $HIT!!!” type of reaction among many moderates (who are, after all, easily frightened by sudden political moves in either direction). Like Crystal here, they’ll have their epiphanies one by one and realize maybe Republicans weren’t so bad after all. We need to welcome them back with open arms. We need them for 2010 and 2012. The loyal base can’t pull off a revolution alone.
aero on May 28, 2009 at 5:39 PM
This is a moment I’m willing to practice so called Big Tentism… Crystal made a mistake that half of the country made. She realizes this. We might just get her on our side next time…

What the heck, now that this article is in print at least since she voted for the Post-Racial Messiah she’ll get at least partial immunity from the left-wing zealots before they brand her a raaacccciiiissssttttt for criticizing said Messiah…..
OK, maybe not……..

I’m gettin’ tired of this….
katy on May 28, 2009 at 5:43 PM
The “he” is the President. As in, “Man, turns out I voted for a statist liberal.” You’re not the first, but stop beating up on a perfectly fine sentence.
What we need to do is reunite the social cons, the fiscal cons, and the hawks. That’s all it’ll take to clean up this mess; but we’re going to have to do some print-fights with people like Kathleen Parker to do it.
emailnuevo on May 28, 2009 at 5:43 PM
I do not blame Crystal. I blame Mike Huckabee for Crystal doing what she did. He played a dangerous game in getting McCain the nomination. Otherwise we would have had Mitt Romney and he would have won the election. This Obama mess is a direct result of the game that McCain and Huckabee played in the primaries. Remember that at primary time. With the right candidate, we would not be in this pickle now. McCain only did as good as he did because of Sarah. Otherwise he would be been slammed.

It’s nice that Crystal has admitted her mistake; however, how is Crystal going to correct it?
I guess she should have been reading Michelle’s blog and Hot Air.
moonsbreath on May 28, 2009 at 5:46 PM
After faulty reasoning like Ms. Crystal’s, we of the far right wing are suppose to move to the center to win an election. We of the far right new this is what the “One” had in mind for the country, but we are the one’s who lost the election for McCain…
Really?
PappaMac on May 28, 2009 at 5:47 PM
She’s a “media strategist.” What, she knows how to turn the television on?
mr1216 on May 28, 2009 at 5:51 PM
I’m glad she has the courage to admit her mistake….however, where the hell was she during the entire campaign? Was she one of the people in the crowd with her eyes glazed over mouthing the words “We love you Barak”?
The man has done everything he said he was going to do during the campaign, none of this is a secret or a surprise. We have people like this to thank for the country being on the road to ruins.
More groveling please.
AZ_Mike on May 28, 2009 at 5:51 PM
I used to be a moderate conservative until this last election which drove me straight over the edge into contemplating joining the Constitution Party–which I still may do. (I really like Alan Keyes.) I didn’t vote for O because I DO RESEARCH BEFORE I CAST A VOTE! This chick is a columnist???? What are they teaching in journalism schools now? Our nation has been lulled by public schools, colleges, and media into a drunken, self-indulgent, “we-have-people-to-do-that-for-us” stupor, unable to think for themselves. America: please wake up and thoughtfully cast your votes! Just because someone can read a teleprompter with some skill and smile sweetly (or whose election is “historical” in nature) doesn’t mean that they are what they project. Turn off the sound and watch their body language, turn off the tv period and read their voting records (if any), investigate all aquaintances fully (work up “the chain”), figure out who they are then decide if you want that kind of philosophy in power. I wasn’t keen on McCain but he was a little more palatable than the one we have in the White House now. Grow a brain, people!

Further evidence that America is soon doomed to extinction due to the ignorance of its citizens.
I hope we will have the chance to correct this impending disaster, but as each hour passes, that chance diminishes that much further.
What is truly sad is that 98% of the American sheeple have no clue what Obama is actually transforming this nation into.

A lot of people have a berth on the not so good ship Obama/Titanic…and they will do everything they can to keep him afloat, for themselves and their egos. The media will certainly end up looking foolish if Obama fails.

Could someone please explain to me what a “moderate conservative” is? It’s like our priest said in regard to those who try and explain how Christ was able to walk on water. You either believe or you don’t. You either have faith, or you don’t. In this instance, you’re either conservative or you’re not. I know there are moderate Republicans and Conservative Republicans, “moderate conservative” is an oxymoron.

Revenge is sweet!!!

I expect a few more “moderates” to have their awakenings when the Bush tax cuts expire and they start having to pay Clinton-era rates or higher — a difference of several thousand dollars per year for most in the middle class. For many of these young “moderates,” it will be a new experience since they started earning money during Bush’s terms and have enjoyed the Bush rates their entire adult lives so far. If the recession’s still going full-blast when the tax cuts expire, it will be all the more painful. I do expect a lot of them to come crying back to us then.
aero on May 28, 2009 at 6:05 PM
He is inexperienced, and was even more so when this dolt voted for him. Instead of trying to figure out why in this time the country might need someone with actual bipartisan credentials and experience running something, anything, she decided to be the fainter in the crowd.
While I have no qualms with liberals who voted for Obama because he represents what they believe, or at least more than McCain did, I have no patience for conservatives who voted for Obama only to have second thoughts later. She still deserves ridicule for her decision, regardless of a mea culpa.

If you even considered voting for Obama you’re NOT A CONSERVATIVE. I mean, how could you be? You couldn’t vote for Bob Barr instead? No, vote for the uber liberal guy and call yourself a “moderate conservative”….Makes a LOT of sense…
therightwinger on May 28, 2009 at 6:11 PM
As a foreigner (Brit) I have already noticed a distinct difference in Americans’ attitudes to their CiC. At the time of his election I scoffed at silly girls’ complaints at how their country was hated and Obama would at least set that right; these days I hear a much more mature and nuanced set of views – and this amongst students living in Europe, so amongst those with a propensity to liberitis.
I genuinely believe that the US went through a sort of emotional spasm in electing Obama which it is beginning to regret already.
I hope from the bottom of my heart that the US is still there when he goes, because you are our reminder of what we once were and could be again.

Today a fellow named Chuck phoned Rush Limbaugh and he confessed to Rush that he was an off-and-on listener to Rush’s program for the past 15 years and did hear Rush warn that Obama would exacerbate race relations, and even so voted for Obama because of the Messiah’s speech on race relations after the revelations about Jeremaiah Wright came out.
This proves two things: that Rush is seldom wrong and that Obama has more power and clout than Rush to change the hearts and minds of America.
By the way like Crystal, Chuck has now seen the error of his ways. I wonder how awful Sarah Palin looks now to them.

I blame it on four factors:
1)The financial meltdown not only tipped the balance to Obama, it caused an onrush of millions of on-the-fence voters to seek out the Messiah’s robe for solace and security.
2)John McCain was a poor candidate who turned off millions of conservatives because of his past record, who either did not vote or voted 3rd party.
3)The MSM completely masking or skimming over Obama’s background and associations and his announced policies during the campaign and failing to link these two concepts together into a ‘birds of a feather flock together’ narrative.
4)Obama’s Messianic appeal and yes the presence of white guilt which Obama exploited perfectly.

Schadenfreude on May 28, 2009 at 6:40 PM
Anyone who watched Fox News or read the dextrosphere during the campaign, who exposed his radical socialist history, would not be surprised at Obama’s radicalism as President–this isn’t “change”, it’s more of the same, for him!
The problem is, most voters only watch MSM news, or don’t follow politics except for an occasional sound bite, and the Tele-bama-prompter was SUCH a smooth and mellifluous speaker and cool cat that sent tingles up everyone’s leg that you’d have to be an old fuddy-duddy or racist not to vote for him, and NOBODY asked him any tough questions.
NOW he gets tough questions. From MahMood AhmaNutJob and Kim Slippery Eel and the UAW and the CIA, and what’s a disciple of Jeremiah (Wright) and Louis (Farrakhan) gonna DO?

Allah, I cannot believe that you mention Buckley, Noonan and Parket in the same breath.
Parker is a terrible writer, about as deep as a teaspoon, and certainly no conservative. She writes for my hometown AZ Repugnant and takes the liberal position on every issue that comes down the pike.
Who is Parker’s PR person, and how have they convinced America that Parker is a conservative pundit? She’s a spineless hack.
DrW on May 28, 2009 at 6:57 PM
Good work, Crystal! That smell in the air is called “coffee.” I don’t typically see the point in throwing around epithets, but I’d have to say that any “Republican” who actually checked off a box for Obama in November, regardless of gender, qualifies as something that rhymes with what a football team typically does on 4th and long. And is about as smart as the ball, too.

A moderate conservative is one who is pro-life, for gay marriage and would rather that the religious right just disappear and fly off to Mars.

Speedwagon82 on May 28, 2009 at 7:23 PM
I would heartily agree with
The media’s refusal to vet this socialist or to even truthfully report his many gaffes is a key reason Obama now is destroying our way of life.
Moreover, look at the relative spending between Obama and McCain. Dems BOUGHT this presidency. Additionally, he bought it with illegal and foreign contributions, which will never be investigated by this one party government, and will again be ignored by the way-past-in-the-tank (they’re in his drawers!) media.
Meanwhile the Dems have been pouring Millions into ACORN and its ilk, who in turn have been subverting the election process for some time now. When there is a question, just keep recounting until the result comes out our way.
Given Crystal’s credentials, I give her big kudos for guts admitting she was wrong, but very little credence for brains, as the data existed for anyone willing to do any research and analysis prior to the election.
Meanwhile, thanks to her (and others’) fecklessness, this country is so screwed we may never recover.
skeeter on May 28, 2009 at 7:23 PM

I don’t know what is lamer – Frum or his New Minority website. If you read the comments, you’ll see that it caters to Democrats and liberal Republicans (like Frum himself).
By continuing to use the phrase “building conservatism that can win again,” Frum demonstrates what an intellectually dishonest person he is.

sabbott on May 28, 2009 at 7:42 PM
To me you can divide the Obama voters into 2 very specific categories:
Those who voted for him (all liberals, the moderate conservatives, those who voted against Sarah Palin (even though I think her nomination was the best thing that happened to McCain’s campaign), people who were taking war as a never ending event, et al)
Those who voted against McCain (I would include those who stayed home, those who voted 3rd party, those who believed in the MSM propaganda (the ill informed)).
How are we, the rest of the 58MM who voted for McCain, to ensure that we field the BEST candidate for 2012? The plan should be underway now and the candidate should be identified that represents us in our thinking.

Lots of drops though in that bucket spells trouble for Obama.
ddrintn on May 28, 2009 at 8:09 PM
I quoted this yesterday, but I will again just because it is so perfect. The number one reason for Republicans to vote for Obama according to the Republicans for Obama site;
National Debt
The federal debt matters. We cannot saddle future taxpayers with having to service the debt we create with our irresponsible fiscal policies. Cutting the deficit will additionally decrease interest rates and increase private investment.
So the question is will Obama “only” incur more debt in one year then Bush did in 6 years, or will he be more irresponsible in one year then Bush was in all 8?
