The Democratic Crossover Factor

without comments

HAZELTON, PA – As the politicos and journalist crunch the poll numbers for the presidential election they may be overlooking a factor that could hurt Barack Obama. The Democratic crossover factor. Democrats who will vote for John McCain.

Take Rocco Colasureo for example. Colasureo, calls himself a retired Democrat.

“I’m a Democrat all my life,” Colasureo says.

“Bush I hate. But I will not vote for Obama.”

Colasureo calls the Democratic candidate for president “scary.”

“You can’t get no background on him,” Colasureo says.

“He went to school in Kenya, didn’t he? He had to say he was a citizen. Now he says he’s an American. Obama says he wants to help the little people. His brother lives in a shack in Kenya and he doesn’t send him a penny.”

Then, there is the issue of religion.

“He claims he wasn’t a Muslim but he was raised as a Muslim,” Colasureo asserts.

Then what about his association with a Christian church in Chicago?

“How could you go to Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years and not believe what he says?” Colasureo asks.

“Either way,” Colasureo says, “he is a liar.”

As for McCain, Colasureo says he doesn’t question his integrity.

“I don’t think John McCain is a liar.”
