Obama votes cast him left of his own party
Washington Times ^ | Thursday, August 28, 2008 | Jerry Seper and Joseph Curl

EXCLUSIVE:

Sen. Barack Obama will portray himself Thursday night as an agent of change for mainstream America, but his eight-year voting record in the Illinois Senate shows the Democrat was on occasion an agent of isolation who took stands - particularly on anti-crime legislation - that put him to the left of his own party.

Mr. Obama was the only member of the state Senate to vote against a bill to prohibit the early release of convicted criminal sexual abusers; was among only four who voted against bills to toughen criminal sentences and to increase penalties for "gangbangers" and dealers of Ecstasy; and voted "present" on a bill making it harder for abusive parents to regain custody of their children, a Washington Times review of Illinois legislative records shows.

ONLY member of the Illinois Senate who voted against prohibiting the early release of Sexual abusers??? Voted for gangs??? And of course the all experience building "present" vote.

This man is either a complete joke or completely deranged. His followers, well don't get me started on them.

p.s. I searched the exact title of this story and found nothing. If this has been posted before, either the FR search feature didn't find it, or the title was changed. Pretty ridiculous that Freepers need to give their bona fides in case an article happens to get double posted, don't you think?

Especially since a lot of us miss first postings. People can just skip articles they have already seen.

Sadly, if McCain were to put this into a commercial he would be called a "Liar" and the media would begin to say that he is stretching the truth. Best thing we can do is save the link and send it to anyone you know that is supporting Zero so that they can reaad the article themselves.

You almost have to wonder if he even knew what he was voting for. Did he bother reading anything or did he think he was too good for that? His votes defy explanation.

Yeah, you might have to read it to them. And when they say in astonishment, “You can read!” you can reply with “It’s common among those that can think for themselves.”

If the economy goes into recession, all of the sexual predators Obama wants to put back on the streets won’t be able to get a job.

I thought his plan was to tax big business so that they continue to move to oversees. Then he’s going to tax the rich so that they will have less money to invest in companies that are still in the US.

Maybe he wants to put sexual predators back on the street so that the gang bangers he helps release will kill them.

The once-respected opposition party that gave us such an anti-American candidate as this standard bearer needs to be utterly defeated in Congress, by seeing all who would vote McCain-Palin vote only Republicans for Congress, and while they're at it, just vote straight ticket for simplicity, ease and speed.

In and out of the voting booth in 34 seconds, while lifting to kiss your lapel flag pin is just one of the things you can do to convey to all the assembled voters-in-waiting how you voted!
