Howard Stern Exposes Why So Many People Support Obama

Labels: barack obama, harlem, howard stern, obama, stern

This time it's Ohio State University Associate Registrar Jack Miner.

Over at the Irregular Times blog, Jim, an obama supporter recorded the following speech from Jim Miner:

Most of you know me because of Ohio State, but a lot of you also know me because I’ve been a lifelong Republican. I’ve been pretty active over the years for the Republican Party, enough said. In this election, my family, my community and the nation can’t afford four more years of the same thing.

So this is the year that I know I’m heading out of the party and I’m supporting Obama. That’s become even more clear the past couple of days where I’m almost embarrassed to say I that used to be a Republican based on the ticket they’ve put together. So if you think about not just a heartbeat, but — not a strong heartbeat away from the presidency, we can’t afford to have someone who’s not strong in foreign relations, who’s not strong with domestic policy, and really has no experience. We can’t afford the Republicans.

Well, there was that red flag again. The phrase "lifelong republican". All I had to do was do a little search in the Ohio voter registration records which reveals he's currentlly a registered Democrat, and yes has voted as a Republican, but also has voted as a Dem a couple of times already (plus has donated 250 bucks to the Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign back in March 2008).

"become even more clear the past couple of days where I’m almost embarrassed to say I that used to be a Republican based on the ticket they’ve put together."

So this is a recent decision, Mr. Miner?

Here are the elections he has voted in so far:

Voting History
2008 PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
2007 NOV GENERAL
2006 NOV GENERAL
2006 MAY PRIMARY
2005 NOV GENERAL
2005 MAY PRIMARY
2004 GEN PRESIDENTIAL
2004 MAR PRIMARY
2003 NOV GENERAL
2002 NOV GENERAL
2002 MAY PRIMARY
2001 NOV GENERAL
2000 NOV GENERAL
2000 MAR PRIMARY

(the downloadable online Ohio voting records goes back to only 2000. So I do not know of his voting history before then)

Here is how he voted in those elections:

R,X,,X,D,X,,X,R,X,,R,X,,R,X,,,X,,D

The first "R" he voted as was in the March 2000 primarary. and so on down the line. I do not know what the "X" stands for. (unafilliated? Independent? Didnt vote at all?). Nor do I know what the extra commas are for. Perhaps he skipped over voting in an election? This is kind of hard to decipher, but what is clear is that he has voted Dem before. So its laughable to listen to him say "this is the year that I know I’m heading out of the party", when its obvious he has "headed out of" the party before. And twice as laughable for him to refer to himself as a lifelong Republican. This is no "lifelong Republican".

Over at the Irregular Times, the poster "Jim" who recorded the audio and posted it at IT, ends his post with this:

Lifelong Republicans have had enough.

Yeah, what we have had enough of is the Obama supporting phony baloney "lifelong Republicans". Would it kill them to stop pretending to be something they are not? And to just come out and say "I'm a Democrat and I'm supporting Barack Obama?". To be honest with themselves and the rest of the world?

Every election year we have to put up with the Democrats, among others, masquerading as a "lifelong republican" This election year it seems to be more intense as the Barack Obama Presidential campaign has practically made it a centerpiece of their campaign strategy.

Here is one example:

Democrats use a fake Republican from Grant County to introduce Barack Obama

-snip

You may remember Barney Smith from Fairmount, Indiana. He spoke at the Democrat National Convention Thursday night and was one of the people who introduced Barack Obama. He will be remembered for the line "I want a president who cares more about Barney Smith than they do about Smith Barney." A great well-written line that many people remember.

On Thursday night in Denver, when he introduced Barack Obama, he claimed to be a "lifelong" Republican. But it looks like the Democrats lied about his affiliation, or at minimum never took the time to check him out.

-snip

Barney Smith's voter registration is clear. It shows that for the last 12 years he has voted in 3 primary elections. In 1996 he voted Democrat, in 2006 he voted Republican, and in 2008 he voted Democrat.

Obama scores another faux gunnie


[F]ormer Joyce Foundation board member Barack Obama has secured yet another faux Second Amendment supporter in “lifelong Republican” Tony Dean, a long-time host of hunting and fishing television shows in South Dakota. Dean told the Dallas News he’s switching parties to head a Sportsmen for Obama group.

A “lifelong Republican” that is “switching parties to head a Sportsmen for Obama group”?

This is an interesting claim, given that Dean was mentioned by the Rapid City Journal in 2003 as a “possible Democratic candidate for Congress” who endorsed Democrat Senator Tim Johnson for reelection just a year earlier. Dean’s efforts to draw gun owners to Johnson weren’t enough, and Johnson’s Republican challenger, John Thune, became a U.S. Senator from South Dakota. According to public records, Dean donated money to another anti-gun South Dakota Democrat, Tom Daschle, also in 2003.

For Tony Dean to have “switch[ed] parties to head a Sportsmen for Obama group” he would have to have done so at least two years before Obama was even elected to Senate, and five years prior to he announced his presidential bid. Indeed, it appears the word “lifelong” is as difficult for Dean and the Obama campaign to define as the word “is” is to Bill Clinton.

Dean is quoted by the Dallas News as saying he’s “99 percent sure a President Obama isn’t going to infringe on gun rights.” But seeing as Mr. Dean, who at least one blogger has been dubbed ‘South Dakota’s Al Gore’ because of his fervent belief in human-cause global warming, describes himself as a “moderate on the gun issue” who “opposes the NRA on most gun issues,” his assurances about Obama aren’t likely to be much consolation to pro-gun voters.

And here's another:

"Fahey, a lifelong Republican who is now an ardent Obama supporter"

Yet here is an article from 2000 which describes this "lifelong republican" back then as an "independent":

"In Lebanon, independent voter Frank Fahey..."

And still another:

Lehigh Valley Ramblings: Obamamama Pulls Fast One on Morning Call

In a letter to the editor published in The Morning Call yesterday, Lower Macungie Township resident Cathy Gregor - lifelong Republican and "dittohead" to boot - claims she's switched parties just so she can vote for Barack Obama.

-snip

But guess what? It's an Obamabomb. According to The Allentown Commentator, the only Cathy Gregor from Lower Macungie Township registered to vote has been a registered Democrat since 1984. Last time she voted was in 2004.

Maybe she thought she was Republican. These Obama supporters are starting to get as nutty as Ron Paul's regiments.

Correction: She also voted in 2007, as a D.

Which brings me to today's New York Post, I read the following letter to the editor from Carl Hafner of Copiague, NY (the online edition does not have his town listed alongside his name, but the print edition does):

Palin knows how to horribly shoot an innocent caribou.

As far as I'm concerned, she is a sick individual, as well as her family for having a trophy pile of antlers of dead animals as a decoration outside of their home.

Maybe if Palin spent more quality time with her children, instead of hunting innocent creatures, she would not be involved with a messy family pregnancy drama right now.

I was raised a Republican by my parents and have been a proud Republican all my life. However, for the first time in my 51 years, I will vote Democratic this election.

Carl Hafner

What with so many people masquerading as "lifelong Republicans" these days, and since no real life lifelong Republican describes themselves as such, I got a little suspicious and did some searching in the New York voter registration database. And guess what? Carl Hafner is not a Republican as he claims. He has no party listed as a matter of fact ("Not enrolled in a party"). Color me shocked that we have another liar on our hands here.

Watching the Democrat Presidential candidates swing through the state of Pennsylvania, it's as if the state all of the sudden had an epidemic of "lifelong Republicans", going through a change of heart and switching over to the Democrats. Not to take part in their primaries, but due to ideological reasons. Obama seemed to be the major, perhaps the only, beneficiary of all these former "lifelong Republicans", now Democrat voters.

It seems that we are dealt this left wing propaganda every election, every primary year. Hordes of "lifelong Republicans" who tell us that they are now Democrats. In reality, the vast majority of them were never Republicans.

One such "lifelong Republican" named Cathy Gregor wrote a letter to the Allentown, PA newspaper, The Morning Call, and it was published.

Excerpt:

I have been a Republican since I first registered to vote 52 years ago. Plus, I have been a ''ditto head'' since Rush Limbaugh has been on the radio. Now, I have changed parties and am a Democrat. Why? Certainly not because Rush Limbaugh urged all his ''ditto heads'' to do so to vote for Hillary Clinton, but because I believe in Barack Obama.

Yet, according to poster Scott Armstrong in the Yahoo Group "The Allentown Commentator", Cathy Gregor is a lifelong Democrat:

To the editor,

I have been a registered Democrat since I first voted thirty years ago but this year I am supporting John McCain.

Scott Armstrong
Allentown


Don't you think Glenn Kranzley would fact-check this claim before he printed the letter? Why then would he not fact-check today's letter from Cathy Gregor of Lower Macungie Township? The author of the letter not only claims to be a lifelong Republican but also a Rush Limbaugh listener who is voting for Obama.

Apparently, Glenn acted once again on faith rather than intellect. This is a familiar pattern for the editor of the opinion page who time and again has put journalistic and editorial standards on the back burner in order to further the interests his own political allegiance. See the file on Cathy Gregor in the file section for details of her registration with the Democrat Party.

Scott Armstrong

NOTE: One has to join as a member of The Allentown Commentator in order to have access to the files.

Look for the file that reads: Cathy Gregor.pdf

Sure enough she's a lifelong Dem, who is still a Dem. She registered to vote back in 1984, not 52 years ago. And her birth year is 1947 (which naturally makes it doubly hard to believe that she registered to vote 52 years ago).

Hat Tip: Bernie O'Hare on his blog Lehigh Valley Ramblings

Mrs. Clinton: Barack Obama Hasn't Done the Necessary "Spadework" January 7, 2008

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Did you hear what Mrs. Clinton said on the Today show today with Matt Lauer? She said that Barack Obama "hasn't done the spadework necessary to be president." He "hasn't done the spadework necessary to be president," as though she has. Now, let's imagine, shall we, if Trent Lott or Mitt Romney or Ross Perot had said that Barack Obama "hasn't done the spadework necessary to be president." Nothing that happens in the Clinton campaign is coincidence, folks. Barack Obama hasn't done the "spadework"? Whew. Where is the Reverend Sharpton on this? By the way, big story: Reverend Sharpton is waiting on his time to endorse. He's waiting for commitments. That means he's probably waiting for money from one of these two camps.

Bill Clinton, over the weekend, in response to a question from somebody at one of his town hall meetings, "What's going on?" He blamed me. He blamed talk radio. He blamed me. He said that the reason Mrs. Clinton has such a rotten image is because people believe me, even me. He said, "People believe all these things there are people saying about her, it's like Rush Limbaugh. Even when Rush Limbaugh says it." Folks (laughter) it's me. In their minds, the reason Mrs. Clinton is in tough doo-doo right now is me, and they're right. You know, when you get down to brass tacks, they are right. But Mrs. Clinton, don't get out of the race. You can't quit! If you're worried about your legacy and going down as a big loser, a big quitter would be even worse. Please stay in this race and make it count for one and all, because the country needs me to be able to persuade you to hang in there and be tough.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here's Mrs. Clinton's "spadework" line. Now, I guarantee you, if I had said this -- if Romney had said it; if anybody had said this -- about Obama, the fur would be flying.

HILLARY: When they say to themselves, "Okay. I have a choice between a truly inspirational speaker who has not done the kind of spadework with the sort of, uh, experience that, uhhh, another candidate has --

RUSH: Oh, ho-ho-ho! Folks, this is not coincidental. I guaran-damn-tee you. Look, this is the bunch that suppresses black people in the Democrat Party. From Maynard Jackson, to Carl McCall, to the Reverend Jackson, to Al Sharpton, these are the people that when the blacks get too "uppity," they get stomped down. "He hasn't done the spadework." He hasn't done the spadework.

From Democracynow.org:

Ellen Chesler, She is Distinguished Lecturer at the City University of New York and the author of “Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America.” Long-time friend and fundraiser for Hillary Clinton.

ELLEN CHESLER: Well, let’s put all of this a little bit in perspective. The big winner last night in Iowa was the Democratic Party, where two-and-a-half times the number of Republicans voted, and almost 60% more Democrats and independents caucused for the Democrats as four years ago. That’s an extraordinary statement that the treacherous reign of Bush and Cheney is over in this country and that Democrats and independents want change.

That said, Barack Obama placed first. He is the neighboring boy. He had a huge bump up in eastern Iowa on the border of Illinois in Springfield, where he served as a legislator. Hillary Clinton placed second. It was a tie for second.
