So we've all heard the accusations. Let's get down to facts:

Why is Obama as bad as Hilary or McCain? How is Obama weak or an enemy of the constitution? Civil Liberties? Just the facts please.

NOTE: I happen to agree with the assertion that he IS bad but I'd like to back that up with a bit more facts other than "he voted to fund the war", which, is a good reason but I think we need a little more, no?

So here's his voting record:
http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=9490
 
He voted yea for National ID. He voted yea for reauthorizing Patriot Act.

That's pretty bad.
 
Obama's foreign policy advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is a co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, CFR member, and Bilderberger. If you do not know much about these organizations please read this:

Part 1: The Chasm
Part 2: Secret Organizations and Hidden Agendas
Part 3: Days of Infamy
Part 4: The War on Terrorism
Part 5: An Idea Whose Hour Has Come

From DEMOCRACY NOW [1/3/08]:
ALLAN NAIRN: Well, Obama’s top adviser is Zbigniew Brzezinski. Brzezinski gave an interview to the French press a number of years ago where he boasted about the fact that it was he who created the whole Afghan jihadi movement, the movement that produced Osama bin Laden. And he was asked by the interviewer, “Well, don’t you think this might have had some bad consequences?” And Brzezinski replied, “Absolutely not. It was definitely worth it, because we were going after the Soviets. We were getting the Soviets.” Another top Obama person—

AMY GOODMAN: I think his comment actually was, “What’s a few riled-up Muslims?” And this, that whole idea of blowback, the idea of arming, financing, training the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets, including Osama bin Laden, and then when they’re done with the Soviets, they set their sights, well, on the United States.

ALLAN NAIRN: Right. And later, during Bill Clinton’s administration, during the Bosnia killing, the US actually flew some of the Afghan Mujahideen, the early al-Qaeda people—the US actually arranged for them to be flown from there to Bosnia to fight on the Muslim/NATO side.

Mike Ruppert gives a lecture on Zbigniew Brzezinski:

PART 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I65v_B5trGs
 
He voted yea for National ID. He voted yea for reauthorizing Patriot Act.

That's pretty bad.

And he wants to give us even more entitlements we can't pay for.

It's cool and all if people want government to take care of people but they need to at least try to explain how to pay for it. We can't even pay for the Social Security we've promised people. New taxes won't begin to cover it, even if they didn't destroy the economy.
 
Socialized medicine.

Not one word about balancing the budget.

Complete lack of understanding about economics.

pro-gun control

no vote from me
 
Let's be clear here. He voted to reauthorize the patriot act. In my mind that tells you ALL you need to know about the bleep bleep.

MAYBE I can forgive a politician who voted for it in 2001. It was right after 9/11 and nobody read it (nobody was really given time). People should have voted against it LIKE RON PAUL did but whatever.

But I CAN NEVER FORGIVE anybody that voted to reauthorize it. It had been around for years at that point - we all knew what was in it.

Why did he vote this way? Perhaps he did it for political reasons - because he knew it would sound bad when running for president to the uniformed masses. Maybe he wanted to seem more centrist. OR MAYBE JUST MAYBE he is part of the corporate controlled globalist agenda.

Either way he's an a-hole for it and he won't be getting my vote.

I have a lot of liberal friends voting for him and nothing I say can change their mind. All I can do is tell them smugly to enjoy voting for a person who reauthorized officers coming into your house without a warrant.

Oh and he won't take nuking Iran as a preemptive first strike.

Yes we can yes we can yes we can.
 
Obama, Clinton, and McCain all = NORTH AMERICAN UNION in 2010. Why is the dollar falling? Why is the fed injecting record amounts to save the market?

The fed is deliberately devaluing the dollar to further the NAU and world government agendas.
Stop thinking anything else but Ron Paul in the White House will CHANGE ANYTHING.
We have the DELEGATES.
Stop hoping for false hope.
Truth.

I believe his proposed spending plan involves an increase of $278 Billion. Where does this come from when we are $9 Trillion in the hole?

If you need a link, I can dig it up--I have too many links under Ron Paul!
 
So, there are no rules to voting? You can just skip all the votes? While I love the constitution and everything it represents, I think there should be more restrictions placed on Congress. For example, when a party filibusters and they bring out beds, that is all a joke. The congressmen are allowed to stay home and watch the filibusters from their TV (or they "have" too).


This is dumb. I like following a rule of law, but we need more laws forcing these politicians to admit their stance on an issue. B y skipping controversial votes, politicians can later claim a side when polls show which side America wants.

Study: Presidential Frontrunners Would Boost Federal Budget by Range of $7 Billion to $287 Billion Annually

  • Among Democrats, Barack Obama, often described as ideologically more "moderate" than Hillary Clinton, actually has the larger agenda of the two ($287.0 billion vs. $218.2 billion).

See the National Taxpayers Union 2008 Presidential Candidate Spending Analyses for more information.

I have a lot of liberal friends voting for him and nothing I say can change their mind. All I can do is tell them smugly to enjoy voting for a person who reauthorized officers coming into your house without a warrant.


and to top this all off he taught Constitutional Law at Harvard before coming in the Senate and voting for this. Makes you wonder what he taught in that class doesnt it

I think 98% of this board doesn't know dick about Con law.
 
Obama is endorsed by the ex chairmen of the Federal Reserve. He's just another puppet owned by bankers.
 
nobody mentioned his mandatory national service plan....that would make community service mandatory for all people from junior high---senior citizens....
