Red on Red: Group of 150 Prominent Left-Wing Activists Launch Campaign Opposing Obama’s Re-Nomination as Dem Nominee in 2012…
Apparently he’s a warmonger or something.
(SF Gate)- As President Barack Obama prepares for Tuesday’s State of the Union address — considered by many to be the real kickoff of his 2012 presidential campaign — a group of vocal progressive activists have launched what they promise is an aggressive campaign to fight his re-election.
The group of 150 liberal activists, authors, and academics – including Code Pink’s co-founder Medea Benjamin and author Daniel Ellsberg – Tuesday released a petition announcing early opposition to Obama’s re-nomination by Democrats. Many of the names included are Greens and indies, not necessarily Democrats themselves, but they said they intend to “actively seek to impede” his policies on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq as the campaign goes forward.
“We vow not to support President Barack Obama for renomination for another term in office, and to actively seek to impede his war policies unless and until he reverses them,” their statement says.
They charge that “since he became president, Obama has had three opportunities to work with Congress to reduce military spending, but instead has championed increases in that spending each time, despite the fact that this spending represents a clear threat to the economic future of our country.”
The group says Obama “has continued..to hide the true costs of the wars by funding them with off-the-books supplemental spending bills, despite the fact that he campaigned against this very practice.”
And, they say, while escalating the war in Afghanistan, Obama was “given the CIA even greater freedom of action to launch lethal drone strikes against civilian houses in Pakistan.”

What took these wackos so long to figure that he wasn’t one of them? These loons are so out of touch with how the rest of the Country feels. Keep it up. I might even send money to you. Now the hard part. Repubs better find a candidate that doesn’t cause me to throw up in my mouth each time I hear them speak.
Triangulation.
.
And someone farther left of Obama could possibly win, how?
No they’re going to indorse the Mao-cow. Hillary or as the seniors like to refer to her as killery.
In order to show that Obama is a ‘Centrist’, the left must demonstrate that there is someone to his left.
It’s a calculated deception.

“The Third Way” is not a path to the future. It is just the suspension between these two destinations – a holding pattern while the stigma of leftist disasters recedes. It is a bad faith attempt on the part of people who are incapable of giving up their socialist schemes to escape the taint of their discredited past.

Triangulation.??????? did you misspell and mean strangulation?
The libtards don’t need to do that. Neil Abercrombie pretty much assured his removal yesterday.
Yeah. Who do they have? Dennis the Menace? Schmucky? Hellary? How ’bout Bill again? With 5 of 9 SCOTUS Justices, he’s a shoe-in to run again.
One more time, my prediction has always been, O’Shithead will not finish his one and only term. Don’t know how. Don’t know why. I just have never seen him finish OR be reelected.
Where’s there’s smoke…there’s fire.
Amusing ~
…and the msm continually spews this split in the gop vs the Tea Party movement…which they do intentionally of course.
They had better look into their own party and what may happen on down the line.
RTB – you give me hope. From your lips to G-d’s ears.
