If you have any faith in the prediction powers of cockroaches, Jon Corzine will win November's gubernatorial election.
A giant hissing Madagascar cockroach representing the Democrat easily beat the one representing his Republican rival today as more than six hundred of the state's pest management professionals gathered for an annual meeting on the Cook College campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick. They raced during the 15th annual "Cockroach Derby" on a six-foot long Plexiglas track during the New Jersey Pest Management Association's trade show in New Brunswick....

The purpose of this website is to tell America that former Obama supporters are no longer proud of their decision. We want everyone to contribute a story of themselves or about someone they know that tells America that they are sorry they voted for Obama.
If You Didn't Vote for Obama
You can still sign the form and tell us about a friend or coworker that is now ashamed of how they voted.
Everyone knows someone that is avoiding telling people how they voted. You have probably seen people take off their Obama stickers. You might have noticed they no longer talk about politics
We want to hear those stories.
America Is Listening
If you are Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we want to hear from you. Tell us what Obama said during the election that was promising and how he has now failed to deliver. This is a bit of a stunt, but stunts like this are important to turning the tide. To those who, like me, voted for Sarah Palin, remember that there is more joy in Heaven over one repentant sinner than ninety-nine righteous men. The proper descriptive terms for a former Obama supporter who's seen the light are "convert," "ally," and "new friend." Do not mock them. Welcome them to the tea party with a smile and open arms.

What a pity, I cannot contribute to the site because:
1) Since I am not American I would have been unable to vote for him
2) Even If I could have, I would have died before voting for him.

Can't believe it'll be that easy for the masses who drank the kool aid. All they ever knew is that they hate Bush because that's all the TV ever told them and that's all they ever will know. As the great comedian Ron White says "You can't fix stupid."
#5
Didn't take long for a lot of people to realize that Obama can't fix his ineptness - it's built in. But then, Obama did a really spectatular job of demonstrating his cluelessness.

Agreed. We have to cut former Obama supporters some slack. The thing is that if a person read the NYT and watched CNN every day he would think that: (1) he is very well informed, and (2) Obama is the One. It's insidious.
The folks who deserve to be mocked are the one who still have Obama stickers on their cars. No more excuses, folks.

Someone needs to start a requestforreturnofsoul.com
with application for those who sold theirs a year ago. The first step in the required repentance is to pass a test on the actual wording of the Constitution, not interpretations. Eleven other Herculean tasks await.

good. Let's get the national blood pressure to the red. Push legalization of illegal aliens while teh unemployment is at or above 10%? The Donks are aching to be a minority party again, apparently. They'll have lost public confidence in all areas. All it would take then is another attack on American soil while they flog the CIA and cut military spending.

First it was the stimulus plan that was shoved down our throats. This was for a broken economy that was largely created by the donks. Then it was another run on health care. Then it was "cash for clunkers." Oh and there is "crap and trade." Now it's revisting the so-called immigration reform. Is that basically the re-warmed amnesty program for illegals? I can't wait to see that. All the while the debt and deficit are on the increase and being handled by printing more money. By that time, I look for most Americans to be in the streets. But it's O.K. They are just "community organizers" doing their community organization thingee. Not to worry.

Where else is the left going to find 12 million reliable new voters? Willie Sutton and the banks phenomenon. That this will irreversibly tilt the United States to Banana Republichood is considered a feature.

As a friend of mine recently asked ... "when will Obama and the Dems run out of asinine proposals explicitly designed to piss off the American public"? ...
#10
The worm is really turning on Obama. I didn't think it would happen this quickly, I thought it would take at least a year. Of course, that was before he broke all of his post-racial, post-partisan, fiscally-conservative, hopey-changey promises. The reality is that he's made things on all those fronts far worse in the relatively few months he's been in office.
I tried to warn my family and friends who bought into the hype. "Where's his executive experience? When has he displayed any bipartisanship? Do you know what he actually believes in? Who really is this guy?" I asked them. Of course, they had no answer but they didn't care and it didn't stop many of them for voting for him. Some have begun to see the light but most were so invested in the Obama BS-- being the good liberal elites that they are-- they are having a hard time recognizing the damage he's already inflicted on the country.
The American people, however, are far more in touch with reality. They are beginning to realize that they were bamboozled, hoodwinked, and hornswoggled by Obama. Hence the anger we've seen on display recently.
#11

We all tried to warm them Eltoroverde, those family members and friends who were dazzled by his BS and reacting to their institutionalized white guilt. I'm nearly recovered from my anger. Nothing he shall do from here on will surprise or shock me. He's just another leftest tyrant in a cheap suit. They come, they go.
#12
The American people, however, are far more in touch with reality. Losing your home, your job, and/or your retirement savings have a way of doing that.

"there is no justification at all for H1B visas"
I disagree. We should vastly increase them.
The jobs will be outsourced to the talented people either way. It would be better to have talented people working in America than working somewhere else.
No, no, a thousand times no to this last Kennedy play.
Here's what this naked political ploy boils down to:
Sen. Ted Kennedy is basically asking the Massachusetts Legislature to repeal a law that he personally pushed through that very same Legislature in 2004. He would gut his own law in order to give a very unpopular governor the right to appoint a rubberstamp who might - might - provide the 60th vote in the Senate to ram through this Obama-care monstrosity that is vehemently opposed by an ever-growing majority of the American people.
Democracy in Massachusetts - you can smell it a mile away.
And another thing - Ted's plea to overturn his own law was made in a letter dated July 2. But the missive did not arrive at the State House until now, after the ailing senior senator last week was unable to attend the burial of his own sister, and after his publishing company suddenly decided to move up the publication date of his memoirs to Sept. 14.
When Teddy was first handed his Senate seat back in 1962, the fix was in. Now, 47 years later, as Teddy goes out, he wants to put the fix back in. And why not - if he gets this final wish, the Kennedys can hand off what they consider their own personal Senate seat to . . . whomever.
You want irony? As the Wall Street Journal noted yesterday, if the state's current succession law, which Ted used to support, had been on the books in 1961, he might never have become a senator. He was only 29 in 1961 - too young to serve. When his brother became president and resigned from the Senate that year, the governor had the right to fill the vacancy, which he did, with a placeholder. Ben Smith served until Teddy could legally run in 1962.
Now Teddy wants a new Benjamin Smith to serve for five months until the special election. And he asks Gov. Deval Patrick to get "an explicit personal commitment" that this interim senator will not run in the special election.
Only they're not making 'em like Ben Smith anymore. Personal commitment? You mean, like Marty Meehan promising to serve only three terms in Congress or Mumbles Menino's vow in 2001 to serve only one more term as mayor?

President Obama took to the conservative airwaves Thursday to charge that Republican leaders are engaged in a vast right-wing conspiracy to kill health care reform in order to repeat the 1994 mid-term takeover of Congress, which followed the defeat of President Clinton's reform plan.
"I think early on, a decision was made by the Republican leadership that said, 'Look, let's not give him a victory, maybe we can have a replay of 1993, '94, when Clinton came in, he failed on health care and then we won in the mid-term elections and we got the majority. And I think there are some folks who are taking a page out that playbook," the president said.
Appearing on the Michael Smerconish radio show, Mr. Obama said he would "love to have more Republicans engaged and involved in this process," but he vowed to win the battle, with or without support from the minority party in Congress.

That reminds me of the joke about a football team so bad when their opponent walked off the field because they thought the game was over, four plays later they scored.

1. The Trunks aren't leading. At best they're following.
2. Someone who famously declared in a bi-partisan meeting "I won" isn't the least interested in any engagement except submission.
3. As long as Obama and his follows spend their time unable to identify their real opponents on the issue the less likely they'll ever achieve their goal and, through their actions, only increase the opposition.
4. When the populous rises up, it's not a conspiracy - vox populi, vox dei. You can't see the real prairie fire because of your own artificial astroturf existence.
#5
Maybe I'm missing something here, but don't the Democrats have the numbers to pass anything they want without Republican support? Clinton didn't have both the House and Senate like Obama does, if memory serves me correctly.

A good many of the Blue Dogs can't abide the half-assed bill or the so called "nuclear option." If Barry had them all on board, or a few republicans he'd throw the switch, no doubt about it. I think he is buggered!

donks are between the devil and the deep, blue sea. On one hand they have their constituents telling them not just no but HELL NO! On the other hand they have the unions and their leadership telling them they will be out of office after the next election if they don't pass health care reform. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of idiots.

I note Winston Churchill: "the duty of the opposition is to oppose."
Of course the Republicans are opposing Obama. It's what they're supposed to do.
The Dhimmicrats have the White House, a 40 vote majority in the House and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, and they still can't get anything done.
Obama's problem isn't the Republicans. It's the Democrats.

The "vast right wing conspiracy" raises its head again.
Hint: in a debate, there is another side that contends with your views.
There appears to be a consensus towards the status quo, with the addition of good regulation. Yet, Obama insists on radical change even though this is not an issue where he can draw a line in the sand. Take a look at existing, standard health care contracts, and look for regulative remedies that would promote the general good.
I know theres been a lot of misinformation in this debate, and there are some folks out there who are frankly bearing false witness, Mr. Obama told a multidenominational group of pastors, rabbis and other religious leaders who support his goal to remake the nations health care system.
Bearing false witness? Breaking the 9th Commandment? So his opponents are sinners. I'm trying to imagine the separation-of-church-and-state freakout if George Bush had taken this approach to arguing for one of his policies. According to the lede paragraph in the linked NYT article:
President Obama sought Wednesday to reframe the health care debate as a core ethical and moral obligation, imploring a coalition of religious leaders to help promote the plan to lower costs and expand insurance coverage for all Americans.
Strangely, the context of that quote "a core ethical and moral obligation" is missing from the body of the article. Was something cut? Was it too embarrassing? Too Bush-y? I have to go elsewhere:
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: OK, for some, that public option has gone over like a lead balloon. So how about plan B, morality? Is that the secret weapon strategy to get health care reform? President Obama went on a conference call today with thousands of religious people, arguing health care reform is a moral issue. The president also argued against what he calls "ludicrous lies" made up about his health plan.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: These are all fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation. That is that we look out for one other, that I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper. And in the wealthiest nation on earth right now, we are neglecting to live up to that call.
Now, we know that Barack Obama doesn't "keep" his actual brother we remember George Hussein Onyango Obama, the brother who lives a hut and it's clear that what he means is that government has the moral obligation to regard all citizens as brothers and sisters I'm coining the word sibizens and to care for them....
Government as religion it's a poisonous notion! But drink it, drink it. Believe! It will not hurt you at all!

I still haven't forgiven Althouse for supporting Obama in the election. I *knew* she was going to pull this shit, but her visceral need to adhere to her class interests overwhelmed this knowledge of what Obama was. She just couldn't stop being a college professor long enough to do the right thing by the nation.
And this isn't Obama being serious. It's him trying to yank the cord on the social gospel two-cycle. Me, I think that sucker is a little rusty and underpowered, and I doubt it'll break his wheels out of the bog.

Ok so if you oppose President Obamas policies you are un-patriotic, weak minded, quite possibly a racist, and now morally bankrupt. Saul Alinskys rotten corpse must be smiling.

"...its not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who arent like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

It's moral hypocracy. All obama does is bear false witness. At the same time, he teaches the public to COVET and plans to STEAL in the 9interest of "compassion". Soon, with his death care, he will MURDER.
He appearantly has not ever read the good book because he commited ADULTERY against GOD with that bastard reverend he loved for 20 years.
Government is his GOD.
Let's see, which of the big Ten has he not broken yet?
Just morally, idelogically, politically, religiously CORRUPT.
God's partner is Jesus Christ. Now if you are needing a miracle, you better start by getting on your knees and bowing down. But you ain't man enough to do that for an eternal God. So at best you are only a worm...
