Bill Kristol: Republicans Expect Obama To Be Next President

I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message

The point of Billy Kristol's latest column is that while (some) Repos
expect Obama to win, many Demos expect McCain to win.
Not to worry. The independents will decide this thing.

Says Billy: ...'But a surprising number of Democrats with whom I"ve spoken expect a McCain victory. One told me he was struck by the current polls showing a dead-even race, suggesting both a surprising openness to McCain among Americans who disapprove of Bush and a striking hesitation among the same voters about Obama.' ...

What Kristol fails to mention, whether intentionally or not, is that Obama's win in November will represent the beginning of an Enduring Democratic Majority and New Progressive Era in American politics. Kristol, as well as all of the Republican establishment that he mentions, is scared. It reminds me of the early-19th century British naval commander, who, at the first sign of the French tri-color, would call for his red vest in order to hide any blood that might demoralize his men. But when the American warships sailed into view, he called instead for his brown trousers. Me thinks Kristol and company have just called for their brown trousers.

Why is Bill Kristol not in jail?

had u dumb-f*** republicans elected huckabee in this election you might of had a chance to win against obama..........they coulda painted huckabee anyway they wanted to get his popularity among voters up the same way they did bush.....all conservatives need is a puppet, they'll do the rest.....

How like our little Willy to make fun of Democratic conventions. Apparently, he forgot about his buffoons in their straw hats, blue polyester suits, and bogus rhinestone flag pins (and don't forget the white shirts and red ties) waggling their purple-Band-aided fingers and smirking and pretending that there was something "patriotic" about supporting a chickenhawk who slimed a combat veteran (again).

DISGUSTING!

I had to chuckle at the "he's not who you think he is" ads idea. I've been hearing that same proposal as applied to McCain ever since he clinched the nomination. Although McCain has long been the darling of the media and of independents, about 85% of the time he votes with the far right. How independent is that?
Personally, I'm hoping that one of two things happens:
1. The American people decide (for once) to vote issues instead of personalities. If this happens, McCain's voting record will clearly identify him as just another right-wing nut case, albeit a quirky one.
or
2. The American people (as often happens) vote personalities. If this happens, and Obama is the Dem's candidate, Obama wins easily. McCain has little personality, and what he does have is annoyingly grumpy.
Assuming Obama is the Dem's candidate, the only scenario under which McCain wins is if the American people (as, unfortunately, also often happens) respond to scare tactics. Repubs always need to have a Great Enemy to frighten people with. Used to be the Commies, but when that wore out they created the Islamic Terrorists. Worked for Bush in '04, could work for McCain in '08.

Obama is enjoying a bit of a honeymoon with repubs. Why should they waste their dollars when Billary is doing the job for them? But after the nomination, the gloves will be off and Barack will be playing against the opposing team, not scrimmaging with his own.

The honeymoon with the american public will be over and substantive suggestions will need to take the place of hyperbole. If he is successful some repubs will cross over. If not, then he will lose.

Bill has had a jones for McCain for a long time. He sees him as someone who will keep going until every country seen as a threat to Israel is destroyed. That is his sole concern.

Kristol is a dangerous fool. He, Cheney, Perle and Feith are the architects of the Iraqi war. They own the war, and along with Bush are responsible for the tens of thousands (or more) dead.
To see how much of a fool Kristol really is view him on Colbert's show in April of 06. Colbert asks, "how's that project for the New American Century going?" To which Kristol turns red faced, pauses, stammers and says, "I'm speechless." Then Colbert advocates "taking out" more dictators to which Kristol agrees ! "Which one do we take out next?" asks Colbert. Kristol is dumbfounded. Ahhh.
As to this election, Kristol is just as disconnected. These guys have made so many mistakes where does one start? Come October, with Obama challenging McCain on issues such as the unpopular war, the sagging economy, unregulated banking industry gone amok, health care, education, poverty, Republican scandals at Justice and in congress, while linking him to an unpopular incumbent, lets ask Kristol, "how's the Republican campaign going ?" "I'm Speechless, say you heard what Obama's preacher said three years ago?"

umm actually I think Kristol is really saying he expects to beat us, even tho other GOPers don't. He makes good points about what they will do to him. We laugh at this at our peril.

Weekly Standard, doesn't he mean Weekly Reader?

Nice media manipulation with this article, I had no idea how frighten some conservatives are of losing. Hard to sleep these days, uh Kristol. But stop lieing to yourself and croonies. McCain don't have a chance against Obama.

Who wants a Republican President that calls his wife a c* nt? We already had a Democratic President who treated his wife that way.

Kristol this is no longer about Republicans and Democrats, its about Americans no longer pretending they are from Canada when they travel. McCain, NOT! Clinton, NOT!

Obama 08!

OH NO! --- Kristol's wrong about everything! --- And now he's sabotaged Obama's campaign.

just the idea that this loser writes for the NY Times tells you just how right wing that paper really is.

in fact, just try to find a single example where the times didnt support a single war or a single bombing or invasion of a country.

besides if you read the whole piece it doesnt imply what this headline states.

remember NO ms media wants to see Obama , a black man , become the most powerful man in the world.

and the times will try like the washington post to take him down,

Bill Kristol you call it for Obama..... Darn, I could have sworn Obama was going to win.

Why isn't this little grinning criminal in jail? Along with about 452 other NeoCON insects who still are free?

Does this guy have his own psychic hotline now? Good lord, Bill, drop the Kristol ball!




HAAAAA! See what I did there? Oh, I crack myself up.

Ick. Please take down this creep's picture.

iF THERE WAS EVER A FRAUD, AND A BUCKLEY WANNA BE IT'S THAT CREEPY KRISTOL, SUCKER, AND WHAT EVER HE SAYS YOU CAN PROBABLY BELIEVE THE OPPOSITE AND BE CLOSER TO THE TRUTH....

What a relief. At first I thought Kristol was about to predict an Obama win, but then he goes on to hint at a McCain win. Kristol's record is perfect on opposite day. If he says Obama will have trouble against McCain, expect an Obama blow-out in November.

This guy is as creepy as he looks. It's interesting how normal he tries to act. Gross. I wish HuffPo wouldn't link to his page. He's not worth the time.

He says he has spent a "fair amount of time with conservatives.." His blood, life, legs, liver, food, everything in him is ultra-conservative and a liar.

Repubs support Obama because it worked when they supported Nader.

I don't know whether it's too early to cry about the General defeat, or it's too late to rescusitate Hillary from our little progressive lynch mob.

Hope you guys are happy with your "Anybody but Clinton" candidate.
