Political suicide - his name is now eternally linked with attempted amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens, opposed by the vast majority of americans - how is that smart? |
Yup, its definitely a killer for him...when a Repub takes a fringe position that only 20% of Americans agree with...and those 20% are further Left than the mod-Left (trying to put it as PC as possible for you bleeding heart Liberals
)...it’s going to be tough to get through the primary.
Not to mention his age. I don’t really care how old a person is on paper, but when the old age of a candidate slaps you in the face every time you see him...it’s another big negative. He
looks like he’s aged 10 years since the campaigns have started.

I like Fred on most of his issues, but he has no executive experience. Senator, Actor, Lawyer, Lobbist...and then....
LEAD, MANAGE & REPRESENT the United States of America?!
That’s not to say he
can’t do it, I just haven’t seen anything credible that shows he can. Getting into the race early and showing his true colors would have done that, but it’s a little late for that one.

Yes it’s only a postcard...but look at what his priorities were when creating that postcard:
Obama more liberal than Kucinich, analysis reveals

-Kucinich, 79.4
-Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, 79.2
-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, 78.8
-Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, 76.8

If your lesser of two evils is a straight up Socialist/Communists politician who talks a lot about “Bringing everybody in together (code speech for “bringing those on the Right over to the Left”)” then your lesser of two evils is much more different than mine.
