NOT THE DEM PARTY just to be clear (partial C & P..link to rest of article)....Good Lord... _________________________________________ On the evening of January 11, 1996, while Mitt Romney was in the final years of his run as the head of Bain Capital, Barack Obama formally joined the New Party, which was deeply hostile to the mainstream of the Democratic party and even to American capitalism. In 2008, candidate Obama deceived the American public about his potentially damaging tie to this third party. The issue remains as fresh as today’s headlines, as Romney argues that Obama is trying to move the United States toward European-style social democracy, which was precisely the New Party’s goal. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/302031/obamas-third-party-history-stanley-kurtz# In late October 2008, when I wrote here at National Review Online that Obama had been a member of the New Party, his campaign sharply denied it, calling my claim a “crackpot smear.” Fight the Smears, an official Obama-campaign website, staunchly maintained that “Barack has been a member of only one political party, the Democratic Party.” I rebutted this, but the debate was never taken up by the mainstream press. Recently obtained evidence from the updated records of Illinois ACORN at the Wisconsin Historical Society now definitively establishes that Obama was a member of the New Party. He also signed a “contract” promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party while in office. Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:
Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party. Consistent with this, a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 lists Obama as a member, with January 11, 1996, indicated as the date he joined. Knowing that Obama disguised his New Party membership helps make sense of his questionable handling of the 2008 controversy over his ties to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). During his third debate with John McCain, Obama said that the “only” involvement he’d had with ACORN was to represent the group in a lawsuit seeking to compel Illinois to implement the National Voter Registration Act, or motor-voter law. The records of Illinois ACORN and its associated union clearly contradict that assertion, as I show in my political biography of the president, Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism. Why did Obama deny his ties to ACORN? The group was notorious in 2008 for thug tactics, fraudulent voter registrations, and its role in popularizing risky subprime lending. Admitting that he had helped to fund ACORN’s voter-registration efforts and train some of their organizers would doubtless have been an embarrassment but not likely a crippling blow to his campaign. So why not simply confess the tie and make light of it? The problem for Obama was ACORN’s political arm, the New Party. The revelation in 2008 that Obama had joined an ACORN-controlled, leftist third party could have been damaging indeed, and coming clean about his broader work with ACORN might easily have exposed these New Party ties. Because the work of ACORN and the New Party often intersected with Obama’s other alliances, honesty about his ties to either could have laid bare the entire network of his leftist political partnerships.

Everybody knows he's been president for 3.5 years, right?

I'm not sure that digging up things from his past is the right strategic move right now.
Please tell me somebody in Romney's inner circle or the GOP just says "guys all we need to do is show people the economy "

It is astounding that a reasonable adult could vote to give such a man the codes to the nukes. Forget that he is a socialist; he also has the codes.

Yes - there is one potential good use for this though

In general, people never like to admit they were wrong. If the public can be shown that they were deceived and that Obama actively hid his past during the 2008 election, they can absolve themselves by saying they never would have voted for him had they known he was a socialist.

The reasons to vote against BHO are numerous and clear to anyone that has a clue. Just hope that group is a majority.

But those that keep trying to paint him as such keep saying it. (Also, Remember when Clinton was a socialist?)
A Romney Presidency and an Obama Presidency will look eerily similar, and yet I highly doubt Romney would be called a socialist. (Considering dubya wasn't)

Shocking. And Reagan was a Democrat.

So, I guess Obama has once again followed Reagan's footsteps in becoming more conservative with age.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Sure, people change. Both Reagan and Clinton explained their change in party, beliefs, and the changes in the respective parties....The interesting thing here is the denial and the cover-up. If Barry had come out and explained the situation, thats one thing. Its another to run and deny has he has.

really the best tack that Romney should be taking right now? Romney has been for or against everything at one point or another.

thats a fair point....I doubt Romney brings it up...
Jun 7, 2012, 1:43 PM

....just expect the conservative media and people like trump to trumpet the message.
But, in trumpeting the economy, Romney will surely touch on Obama's socialist tendencies...which does associate with this New Party thing...so....
