The Lie, How They're Telling It, and What They Really Think

Earlier this week, Wendy Button, a former speechwriter for Barack Obama changed her mind and announced her support for John McCain.

Now, an anonymous former Obama (and former Hillary) supporter has also seen the light, and has given us a detailed account of what is going on behind the scenes in the Obama camp.

Read her expose over at RedState. Excerpts are also available on Flopping Aces - you may need to use that as a backup, since the RedState server is currently overloaded with eyeballs interested in this story.

I'll get you started with this intro:

I’m going to let you in on a few secrets here, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I’m doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama. Another reason for my doing this is that I am lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country. Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job – to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope. I’ve come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance.His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans. It has worked up until now. Joe the Plumber has put the focus on the issues again, and this scares us more than anything.
