Republicans trying to imitate Obama?

Are the Republicans afraid that Americans have awakened?

Republicans say one thing but do another.

Republicans say they are pro-life, but if that were so, why are they so eager to send our troops in to die in wars? That don't make sense. I didn't know that pro-life ended after you were 18 and old enough to go to war.

Who are the Republicans trying to imitate here? Obama, it seems. Obama said the war in Iraq should end within 16 months, after the Iraqis agreed, Bush set a 20 month withdrawal plan. Obama said we should sit down with Iran in dialogue. Not long after that Bush sent an American representative to sit down with Iranian Reps. Wow. The list of their copies of Obama's policies goes much further. I think the Republicans know that Obama is great decision maker and wiser than they are willing to admit.

Obama's choice a VP that makes sense. If President Obama died in February, 2009, Joe Biden could step in the same day and serve the country well as President. Palin is a nice lady but in February, 2009 would she be ready to be President if 72 year old McCain had a massive heart attack and died? That shows that the Republicans will use anyone they can to win. They are using this Palin to keep power. Just as they are using American soldiers in Iraq to get an oil rich country indebted to America. Right now they are trying to divide the country in order to choose McCain, which even in the eyes of most Republicans is not just good choice. McCain is good soldier but he would not be a wise and innovative leader.

I will always be a conservative but I am seeing too frequently gross neglect and mistreatment of people by the Republicans to vote for them this year.
