More Than 100 Reasons to Vote Against Barack Obama
Fr. Peter West ^

Posted on 10/28/2008 8:23:14 PM PDT by Coleus


Below is a good list of reasons not to vote for Barack Obama. They are not listed in order of importance. I list the life issues, which I think are primary, toward the end. Some of the reasons are obviously more important than others. There are probably some things that should be on the list that I haven’t thought of. Some of the items reflect my opinions, but I have tried to document the facts on the list with links to credible news organizations and independent fact check organizations.

Barack Obama is NOT a New Kind of Politician

Barack Obama is a product of the corrupt Chicago political machine. He did nothing to reform it: http://chicagoagainstobama.wordpress.com/
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/26/AR2007022600720_2.html

Barack Obama has the most liberal voting record of any other United States Senator: http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/

Obama had his first political mentor Alice Palmer, thrown off the ballot in Illinois in order to take her place in the Illinois State Senate. It was Alice Palmer who introduced Obama to the domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn:

One reason, and a pretty good one, is that we really don’t know who Obama is, or even if that’s his real name, or if he is even a legal citizen.

Another reason is Obama is a America hating Marxist who has no intention whatsoever of upholding and protecting the constitution of the USA. He will willingly and knowingly LIE if he is sworn in, which should immediately trigger impeachment proceedings, with a long list of charges.

what was his original name? I've read on many threads that he's using a different name.

I didn't see the little tidbit that Zero is denied security clearance. Even confidential. And people want to hand him the launch codes for the nuclear missiles. Idiots.

I'm one of those "bitter, religious people clinging to his gun" that Sen. Obama disdained so haughtily. As such, I oppose his election to the presidency.*

I oppose Sen. Obama for four main reasons:

1) His socialist economic policies, which won't work and are based on the immoral idea of the redistribution of wealth;

2) the creepy, Kim Jong-il type cult of personality that surrounds him;

3) his association with William Ayres (a terrorist) and Jeremiah Wright (a racist);

and the greatest reason: because I am Catholic, and Sen. Obama is in favor of legal abortion, including the horrifying practice of partial-birth abortion. No devout Catholic who believes in what the Church teaches about abortion could ever support such a man.

Please note that skin color is not one of the reasons I oppose Sen. Obama. Racism is unchristian and contrary to reason. Although I do believe that "white culture" (i.e. Western Judeo-Christian culture) is superior to black ghetto culture (and white trash cuture, for that matter), my opposition is directed at what people choose to do, not what they are by birth. Sadly, however, among the supporters of Sen. John McCain are those who oppose Sen. Obama due to his ancestry, his skin melanin content, his middle name, or other aspects of his life over which he had no control. You will not find me among them. In my opinion, such people are morons who do not represent the typical Republican voter. Although I do not belong to any political party, as a former Republican voter I know from firsthand experience that the vast majority of people on the Republican side detest that sort of trash as much or more than Democrats do. (It is not beyond the realm of possibility that many of the racist dumbasses in the McCain camp might also have been "planted" in the crowd to make the McCain side look bad.)

Of course, there are plenty of haters on the Obama side as well, but be that as it may there can be no excuse for racial hatred in conservative politics. Those persons (of any side) who condone violence and hatred ruin politics; they encourage people to vote based upon their feelings instead of on their reason, which is dangerous. My own opposition to Sen. Obama is based strictly upon his policies, and upon nothing else.

(Yet somehow I still get called a racist.)

Policies, cult of personality, associations, and abortion: these four reasons are more than enough to oppose Sen. Obama's election. I urge each of you to consider these reasons in light of your your own informed opinion, consult your conscience, and vote for the candidate of your choice on Election Day.

Just got this in an Email. Facts suck if you're a Democrat.
Formatting is a bit rough, sorry.

It makes you wonder.......

This email comes in three parts....Make sure you read all three parts!

Part 1
Remember the election in 2006?

Thought you might like to read the following:

over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.10 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and spends our money -not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.

Part 2:
Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.
www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.HTML

Taxes under CLINTON-1999 Taxes under BUSH-2008
Single earning: ; Single earning:
30K - taxed- $ 8,400 30K - taxed $ 4,500
50K - taxed $ 14,000 50K - taxed $ 12,500
75K - taxed $ 23,250 75K - taxed $ 18,750
Married ear zing: Married earning:
60K - taxed $ 16,800 60K - taxed $ 9,000
75K - taxed $ 21,000 75K - taxed $ 18,750
125K - taxed $ 38,750 125K - taxed $ 31,250

Barack Obama promises to return to the higher tax rates if elected. It is amazing how many people who fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever.

If elected, Barack Obama has already promise d that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts , and amazingly, a good portion of the people who fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen.

PART 3:
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this: Boy, am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS. Read on...

I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL’s for verification of all the following facts.

11. Durin g the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.
Verify at: Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht

12. The National Policy Institute, ‘estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.’ Verify at: http://www.nat ionalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf

13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin.Verify at: http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm

14. ‘The Dark ? Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States ‘Verify at: http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml

The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

Are we THAT stupid?

If this doesn't bother you, then just delete the message. If, on the other hand, it raises the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you continue to forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington, D.C
