Which really verifies what I've been whispering to my conservative friends at parties for the past year: If Obama were a republican, the republicans would L-O-V-E him. When I finish whispering that to them, I look into their eyes, and the truth is laid bare. They have no response other than stammering for a few moments before they recover and come up with some really lame non sequitur. |
why would repubs love him? that scenario is sort of ludicrous my friend...that is like saying saying if Reagan was a democrat they would have L-O-V-E-D him...he wasn't, and Obama isn't...just because someone has enigmatic and charismatic qualities doesn't really matter...that would be the case with anyone when you switch their ideals and ideas about...
think about this...what would you (or others) say about Obama, if he was a republican, and was this charismatic? You would L-O-A-T-H-E him the same way they would then L-O-V-E him

if Sarah Palin was suddenly switched to a democrat with Obama's ideas etc. she would be the democrats rock star...you could hear them saying the same things...
she's hip, she's cool, she is a working mom, her and her hubby are union members, they are blue collar, the husband is a native alaskan, she fought corruption in alaska, she is against machine politics blah blah blah...
you can switch anyone with charisma's ideals and politics, and as long as they retained the charisma and magnetism, of course the opposite party would love them...
maybe the truth that is laid bare in their eyes is actually a look of bewilderment at the "switcheroo" that can be done with just about any popular or charismatic politician when it comes to an imaginary switch in political ideals
