Just don't call Barack Obama liberal, okey doke?
Boston Globe ^ | February 26, 2008 | Peter S. Canellos

AUSTIN, Texas - In his radio and TV ads that are blanketing Texas, Barack Obama claims a chief executive can make more money "in 10 minutes" than an ordinary worker makes in a year. Obama wants to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, enact a national health plan, offer a $4,000-a-year tuition reimbursement in exchange for national service, and have the government intervene to prevent home foreclosures.

But he doesn't want anyone to call him a liberal.

I actually don’t see a problem with national service for tuition, put the kids to work building roads and fixing bridges I say.

Obama would have to move to the right to be a “Liberal”.

Why doesn’t he complain that the movie stars make $20 million per movie while the people who pop the popcorn in the theater don’t make that much in a lifetime. And why doesn’t he complain that sports starts make more money in one game than the groundskeepers make in a year?????? Why only pick on evil corporations?

Che’ is a liberal, he may like that or not, but the facts do speak for themselves, he sees Government as the Be All and End All for every American except for “the Rich”, and the “The Rich” ALWAYS ends up being the Middle Class Small Business Owner type who make America work.

This post demonstrates how important it is to elect CONSERVATIVES to congress during this next election. The R or D are pretty much synonymous, we need real conservatives that actually care about our countries needs. I don’t care about Senator Mccain, the way I see it another “democrat” being removed from the senate by way of ascendancy to the presidents post is probably a good thing. Arizona will just have to fill his seat with an actual conservative.

He long ago activated the warp drive and left ‘Liberal’ several light years behind him.

How about the college kids getting a job on their own? Why should it be the government's responsibility to find them work?
