Obama will take back the Republicans that belong in our party.

[Bonobo]

He will sell the Democratic principles as universal principles.

THAT is the only thing he has in common with Reagan and what he meant.

He will destroy the Republican party by separating them from the ones that never should have joined the party anyway.

That is what he means by "winning the war of ideas".

He means, knows and believes with all his heart, that the liberal ideas are the true family values. He will sell them to the other side with his style. Hillary will keep them distanced, I am afraid.

1. I thought we were supposed to purge the centrists and we didn't want any republicans or moderates?

3. not if you want to move this country forward

only if you like fighting to no good end, accomplishing nothing.

[Bonobo]

4. I think we need everyone we can get to try to prevent us from slipping even further as a country.

Economically, to say the very least/

5. That is what I thought, but remember all the purge talk we had here...

what changed? I remember when DU had no room for Republicans under the big tent.

2. Many are already supporting him, quietly at first but their voice is growing

The Republicans for Obama buttons on his website are sold out

[xultar]

6. Sold out of how many? Obama is pro-choice. That shit won't produce republican votes.
