I think the inside-the-beltway GOP crowd doesnt know
whats going on. They’ve been psyched out by the biased MSM.

Out here in real America, we know Obama is a dreadful unqualified candidate. Other than celebrities, Obama’s astroturf campaign and ads, I’ve not seen pro-Obama ‘chatter’.

I think the inside-the-beltway GOP crowd doesnt know

Out here in real America, we know Obama is a dreadful unqualified candidate. Other than celebrities, Obama’s astroturf campaign and ads, I’ve not seen pro-Obama ‘chatter’.

We also know what his agenda is. Here is what the Obama/Democrat majority will deliver:

* Regulation overdrive that will kill jobs
* Special interest giveaways to groups like ACORN
* Government takeover of health-care, shifting as many a 50 million more people into a Government run plan (See below, Obama ultimately wants single payer aka 100% Socialized medicine!)
* Pork barrel-overspending, like the $200 billion farm bill the Pelosi Congress passed, and the $1+ TRILLION in bailouts this year; Pelosi wants another bailout for $300 billion, on top of the $700 billion for wall street, $300 billion housing bailout and $100 billion govt check giveaway - when will it end?
* Pro-abortion extremism, including taxpayer funded abortions and ‘Freedom of Choice’ Act, which will override state desires to protect unborn life
* Amnesty for illegal aliens, and drivers licenses for illegal aliens, which Obama supports
* No drilling in ANWR or offshore, and an anti-energy policy that won’t allow full exploration offshore; it means higher energy prices
* Trade policies that are the worst since Herbert Hoover (who created a depression out of similar policies)
* Higher taxes that will kill jobs; Obama in the past year proposed higher payroll taxes, higher income taxes, and raising the capital gains taxes from 15% to 25%. Now in the general election, Obama has flipflopped on it, but he will surely flipflop back in order to make taxpayers pay for his $800 billion in spending promises that he can’t keep without higher taxes.
* Job-killing ‘cap-and-trade’ CO2 regulations
* Attacks on free speech, with “fairness doctrine” attacks on talk radio, and political correctness attacks on free speech( Missouri DAs investigating people who say bad things about Obama)
* Attacks on the ballot box, by ending the secret ballot for union elections, and by opposing voter ID laws
* Gay marriage: Obama opposes Cali prop 8, in effect signalling that he supports gay marriage, andObama and the Democrat platform calls for the repeal of DOMA to take gay marriage nationwide; they will enforce ENDA, gay rights in the workplace and a tort lawyers dream and HR dept nightmare, and the result will be attacks on religious organizations and groups that dare to take an opposing moral position; gays openly in the military
* Appointment of liberal activist Judges, who will be handpicked to overrule the people and legislate liberal social policy from the bench.
* Talk to leaders of rogue nations without preconditions.
* Give billions to the UN and allow great global Government overriding US sovereignty.
* Social Security for illegal aliens.

WHO WANTS THAT?!?

“Because I read that first sentence...”It’s not that the tide is turning” and read on. What I read described EXACTLY a tide turning.

What a writer, eh?”

Look, I don’t know if McCain will win or lose, AFAIK, the race is still competitive. But I do know that if McCain were winning - the liberal MSM would be the LAST to let us in on it.

So have no fear, igonore polls and do your darndest to ...
STOP OBAMA’S SOCIALISM.
