Barack Obama, Leftist?

Both Obama and Hildabeast are shady characters who can be trounced in the general election.

“Rather than simplify taxes, Obama instead wants to have the IRS prepare your returns for you and send them out for your signature.”

That one’s a keeper. We’ll end up with nothing more than “change” in our pockets.

Love the rhetoric in this. Republicans want to ‘portray’ him as a Leftist. He IS a Leftist. His voting record SHOULD be an issue in the General Election. His new proposals SHOULD be dissected before the General Election. The truth is always important.

You hope... Jim Jones has nothing on the Kool-aid that Obama is serving up...

Soon the Obama Zombies will be calling you intolerant, Hate filled and racist if you question any policy decision that Obama puts forth...

[originalbuckeye]

That’s the way it was done in Britain when I worked there 24 years ago. You got your paycheck and the taxes were already deducted. No accounting of what went where. Once a year you received a card telling you how much you had paid. End of issue. It was about 50% in the early 80s.

Obama a leftist? Did anyone ever listen to him on the rare occasions when he actually says something of substance? Who’da thunk it?

“We’ll end up with nothing more than “change” in our pockets.”

Yes, but it’s TIME for change, or didn’t you get the memo?

So. No H&R Block offices in Britain, I guess.

[Bertha Fanation]

Barack Obama. Let’s hope this county doesn’t end up with BO.

Note to Captain’s Quarters: You can drop the “?” from the article’s title.

Campaign speeches by both, Hillary and Barrack = “I can out Marx Marx”. Listening to them is like being on the streets of Petrograd in Oct. 1917, listening to Vladimir Lenin...

[combat_boots]

So, our boy Barack Obama is a neo-Wobbly then?

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Ah...The mentally ill left! Ya gotta love it!

[The Forgotten Man]

The problem with the msm is they know the left is a party in the spirit of Mussolini fascism. Their origins with the progressive movement are more evident today than in the period of James Earl Carter. These socialists are dangerous and care nothing for the country when forwarding their agenda. I am not a McCain supporter. I don't know the extent of his liberalism when measured with the progressives of the early 20th century.

What I do believe is our nation is in peril with the establishment politicians and those who seem to have effect upon them. The power once held by the people and given to those who represent us is archaic thinking these days....

[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 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.

Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!

Sadly someone being a leftist is no longer a major impediment to them being elected, as all the remaining presidential candidates are too far to the left for my liking.

Obama-—Klintoon-—This way to the third world!
