Where are the apologies from the Primary Obama supporters who decried my politcs as rightwing, republican sounding, and worse?
I ask because as this march towards an Obama landslide keeps building momentum, Obama is sounding much more like me than his supporters throughout all these months.
His recent statements about:
patriotism
faith-based policies
are just the latest.
Had I wrote diaries expressing the same sentiment and saying that we democrats should move that way, (which would be in line with my policy ideas presented here), the attacks would have/are brutal.
I hope obama continues on this path and pushes the left-wing from this and other internet sites into a small corner.
I love the politics of not going to the DLC meeting, yet promoting policies that everyone here would identify with the DLC for the past month or so.
Obama has shown that he is qualified to become President, because he is willing to do whatever it takes to win and what's in the best interest of the country.
That was the main reason I supported Hillary Clinton because I thought she would say or do anything to win.
It turned out that she had her limits against Obama and let him off the hook.
And it turned out that the Obama campaign in the primary and now were the camp that wanted to win the most. They have done shameless things (in the Primary), and appear ready to move to any position necessary to win.
These are all positives to me.
When I trumpeted Hillary's propensity to play hardball, people thought it was odd.
I never thought Obama could/would be this good of a candidate so quickly. If he was this guy in the Primary's I would have been way more predisposed to support him.
But then again those here, probably wouldn't have.
There is less talk about "new politics", and "change", and more clear direction of his values.
Obama is a really good conventional politicians riding a wave that he created.
I hope he keeps sticking it to the left, and do what's right for the Democratic Party and this country.
