I wanted to share this with you guys. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum but I think it will be okay.

I post on a few other political forums with high traffic and a roughly 50/50 mix of conservatives to liberals. I've managed to sway most of the neocons back to true conservatism (not that hard really considering the disdain for Bush) and am now working on the liberals.

I have had a decent amount of success with the following. Its a thread titled 'support for betrayed obama supporters', or something similar. Most of them are adopting a 'wait and see' attitude with Obama as he's not in office yet, but quite a few are getting very pissed off, especially with his recent cabinet picks.

My goal here is not so much to get people to be against Obama, but to get them to start holding him accountable and snap out of their blind support of the man.

Anyway, here it is. Like I said, its worked fairly well for me. Feel free to revise and copy to use for yourself if you'd like.


Conservatives, libertarians, neocons...

Independants, socialists, anarchists...

We are seeing a repeat of George Bush's year 2000 campaign platform of say one thing and then stab your voters in the back unapologetically as soon as you win.

Between his FISA vote, his history of fraud, and all of his promises that get reversed as soon as he gets what he wants, we know that Obama is going to give the people that love him a hard time over the next few years.

Some of them will take this beating and bleet like a happy sheep obliviously. But for those that aren't swimming in kool-aid, we should come together and accept them back into the fold.

I think that in the next few months, and the next few years, the number of people who become disgusted with Obama will increase, the way it did with Bush. He will always have his diehard supporters who stubbornly cling to the dream he has woven for them, but I don't think this will be the majority.

We should set aside our ideological differences and come together on the principals we can agree on to survive the trying times ahead. I think we can all agree that we need an increase in accountability and a return to some basic ethics in government. I don't think its too far fetched to say we all want an end to corruption.

I think a lot of people on the right now understand, thanks to the last 8 years, that we really only have one party operating. Lets welcome those on the left as they come to this realization on their own and show them we can create a real second party, a party of the people, with differing ideals but joined by a more important commonality.

What do you say?

To Obama supporters that are waking up:

You've been had. There is nothing wrong with that, most of us have been conned by this system already. Obama has a message we can all agree with, and a message that he should be forced to stictly adhere to. Its important that we all make it clear to our new president that we won't be accepting excuses or apologies.
