48. (CNN) — No, hell has not frozen over, but a Buckley is backing a Democrat for president.

Christopher Buckley, the son of the late conservative icon William F. Buckley, said Friday he's decided to back Barack Obama's White House bid, the first time in his life he will vote Democrat.

“It’s a good thing my dear old mum and pup [sic] are no longer alive. They’d cut off my allowance," Buckley, a columnist for the conservative National Review, wrote on the Web site The Daily Beast Friday.

Buckley, who praised McCain in a New York Times Op-Ed earlier this year and defended the Arizona senator's conservative credentials against wary talk-radio hosts, said McCain is no longer the “real” and “unconventional” man he once admired.

"This campaign has changed John McCain," Buckley wrote. "It has made him inauthentic. A once-first class temperament has become irascible and snarly; his positions change, and lack coherence; he makes unrealistic promises, such as balancing the federal budget 'by the end of my first term.' Who, really, believes that?

"Then there was the self-dramatizing and feckless suspension of his campaign over the financial crisis," Buckley added. "His ninth-inning attack ads are mean-spirited and pointless. And finally, not to belabor it, there was the Palin nomination. What on earth can he have been thinking?"

But Buckley made clear he's not just voting against McCain, praising Obama for his "first-class temperament and first-class intellect."

"Obama has in him—I think, despite his sometimes airy-fairy 'We are the people we have been waiting for' silly rhetoric—the potential to be a good, perhaps even great leader. He is, it seems clear enough, what the historical moment seems to be calling for," Buckley wrote.

See William F. Buckley was a REAL Republican, not an ignornace monger and what his son says here is exactly why I am voting for Obama.

50. Really Republican for Obama?

So you looked up the federal Income tax rates? I am at 35% (Graduated of course). Did you look up Michigans tax rate? Did you look up Property tax rates and differentiate between homestead and non homestead? Did you look up my FICA obligations on a 1.5 million dollar plus payroll? Did you happen to be the first to truly understand Michigan's single-business tax? Did you happen to look up the city income tax rates where I live and operate? NO, I didn't think so....like all Dems you think there is only one tax, so a few more percentage points don't count. For your info I do have a tax accountant and lawyers and I myself have a JD and MBA (as stated earlier). You better get googling again little man. Your ignorance is astounding.

52. George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. Things really going well for about everyone.

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.

4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000

5) American's were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...


But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right.

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;

2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;

3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (10% increase);

4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;

5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~

$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS.

YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE....AND WE SURE GOT IT! ... CONGRESS, A NEW DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS

REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.

AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Stop and think about that for a moment

NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!

JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

54. Real Change?
Who is going to believe that after the $700 billion bailout deal that no working class American wanted?
Bush ordered the deal to bail out his rich cronie friends.
McCain balked, but later retracted and complied.
Obama submitted without a fight. Why?
Obama didn't want to offend HIS rich cronie friends, the Rockefellers!!!

DO NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE BAILOUT DEAL!

55. Question: How many of you, whether you like him or not, agree with him or not, question the loyalty of John McCain to THIS Country?

Posted at 1:25PM on Oct 11th 2008 by Another Concerned Citizen

56. Another question: Can you say the same about his opponent?

57. So your really gonna claim that you pay 73% or so of your income to taxes? You might want to check some signs around your home, because I think your living in Canada then. Again if your losing 73% of your income to actual tax, hire a tax attorney. Have you seen how many loopholes are in our current tax code.

My ignorance is oustanding? Coming from the moron losing 73% of his income?

58. Republican for Obama,

I almost forgot. The reason jobs keep leaving in spite of the tax cuts are that WE ARE STILL THE SECOND HIGHEST TAXED NATION ON EARTH!!!! Fricken moron. Your question is like asking why a boat is still sinking when we plugged ten percent of the hole. Again, I realize we are spending too much...cutting our spending is the answer, not more taxes.

59. Seriously, what's the differnce? OBAMA- OSAMA they both have or will ruin this country.

Posted at 1:36PM on Oct 11th 2008 by what's the difference??

60. Ya, no bailout, lets collapse our entire banking system! Much better idea! Seriously how clueless do you have to be, why did the House cave on the bailout smart guy? Because luckily they realize it had to be done. How they went about it is another story, but see in Capitalism you have to have this thing called capital and debt is a bad thing. Well maybe not to the remaining Bush supporters who apparently think everything our government spends is freebies.
