He talks about a new politics—but his talk means nothing as his record shows.  People would not have a voice unless they were the most liberal of liberal.

[Barrack Hussein Obama's record in the Illinois senate:]

- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother's wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what's best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.

- Obama voted against parental notification when minors seek an abortion.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn't get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.

Osama Obama may just as well openly declare, "My intentions are to completely destroy the moral and religious values that are the foundation of its country and our Constitution!"

Now I'd like to ask this, who do all of you think will be the first politician depicted using the Constitution as a handkerchief/bib/piece of toilet paper in a political cartoon within the near future: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, George W. Bush, John McCain, Other, or all of the above? 




Instructions on how to be a neocon.
I support the troops who still have moral values, but I don't worship them. I do not support the occupation of Iraq. I believe the opposite of anything George W. Bush says and support Chuck Baldwin for President. I am a Mormon, Libertarian, 9/11 Truther, Alex Jones listener, Ron Paul supporter, and proud of it!

Right now, at this time and date, I say all the above.

Since Bush is currently being allowed to live in our White House - rent free, I might add - I say he's the one who is openly disgracing the Constitution, and doing a very good job of gutting it for his buddies to the south.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I voted for him in both elections because Gore put me to sleep with his droning monologues and kerry the Traitor - well - I waited 30 years to get back at him after what he said about we Vietnam Vets.

Now, I wish I'd voted for a 3rd party as a protest so I wouldn't have to admit I backed Bush.

I voted Libertarian in both of Bush #43's elections.

 

As far as Obama goes, he may be on the ticket with Hillary (at which spot is yet to be determined).  Looking at the very real divide that this country now has, he or ... or he and Hillary stand a very good chance of becoming our next rulers.  This is because the Repulicans, grossed-out over Bush #43's imbecillic and RINO Presidency, are scattering to the four winds.  They are searching the skies for political saviors and will end up voting for one of several of the smaller party candidates.  This division of disgruntled Republicans will ensure a Democrat victory in 2008.

 

 ... All the more reason to go back and re-read Atlas Shrugged.

The following article was directed with the following link in an article in a newsletter I receive. I thought it was worth sharing since we never know what is going on in the lives of those that are running for our Presidency.  I was truly shocked when I read this, but I am not sure why. I Just know that these things need to be exposed to show the true colors of these candidates.
The hospital of Michelle "Pickles" Obama and U.S. Senator Barack Obama on way to shattering previous profit record!
We are obviously talking about not-for-profit The University of Chicago Hospitals.

This is the hospital that increased the total compensation of the wife of U.S. Senator Barack Obama by almost $200,000 a year, shortly after he was sworn in.

In 2005, not-for-profit The University of Chicago Hospitals made a record profit of $103,642,743.

In 2006, profits dropped to $74,236,000, most of which came from investment income.

Well this hospital, this not-for-profit hospital has just reported their profits for the first 9 months of FY 2007.

$105,746,000!

That beats their old profit record by better than $2 MILLION, and there is still 3 months to go!

What's particularly interesting about these numbers, is where the profit is coming from.

Of the $74,236,000 in profits that they made in 2006, only 20%, $14,958,000 came from operating income.

For the first 9 months of fiscal year 2007, almost 67% of their total profits came from operating income, aka patients.

Yeah Barack Obama is fighting to make health care more profitable, while he tells you he's fighting to make it more affordable.

This reminds of how his campaign dealt with Michelle “Pickles” Obama’s work at TreeHouse Foods.

They thought they could get away with it, but just like in that case, their hypocrisy is going to come back to haunt them.

What a couple of phonies!

Don’t expect to read this in the Chicago media.

But as I reported yesterday, he’s just too busy to follow what’s going on in his home state, let alone the hospital that employs his wife and price gouges the uninsured.
