How Reason Works
What if Obama had the strongest record of bipartisanship in the Senate, with major bills to his credit like the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign reform, the 2003 McCain-Lieberman climate stewardship and the 2007 McCain-Kennedy immigration reform acts.
What if McCain had the most extreme partisan voting record in the Senate?
What if Obama offered a broad, sensible energy policy that embraced both emerging and current resources, including building the greenest power plants possible with nukes?
What if McCain declared that the nuclear waste technology we’ve invested hundreds of billions in over the last three decades is unacceptable, and refused to build nukes until we invent something better than Yucca Mountain?
What if Obama offered sensible tax policies that have historically led to healthy business growth and financial freedom for more Americans?
What if McCain promised to cut taxes for 95% of us while proposing almost a trillion dollars in new spending?
What if Obama had called for reform and oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2006 that could have prevented the current financial collapse, only to have his efforts squashed by the opposition party?
What if McCain was the second highest recipient of political donations from Fannie and Freddie in his short Senate career, and had the former head of Freddie heading up his VP-vetting team, and the WaPo published the fact that the disgraced former head of Fannie was a financial advisor to his campaign?
What if Obama had been the leading supporter of the surge strategy that has won the war in Iraq?
What if McCain’s primary claim to fame was his leading the charge to lose the war by withdrawing all our forces in Iraq where Al Qaeda declared their new caliphate?
What if Michelle Obama devoted her time and wealth to charitable organizations over the last couple of decades, and she adopted a Bangladeshi girl with a cleft palate on a visit to one of Mother Teresa’s orphanages?
What if Cindy McCain got a $200,000 raise in her job as a Community Relations Director in a hospital when her husband became a Senator, and once in the Senate her husband put in a $1M earmark for her employer U of Chi Hospital, and she declared that when her husband won the nomination for Presidency was the first time she was really proud of her country?
What if Joe Biden had a proven record of opposing his own party and winning, and confronting Big Oil and winning, and sharing the revenues he levied on Big Oil with the citizens of his state?
What if Sarah Palin imagined we and the French “kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon” and said President Roosevelt “went on TV in 1929” (before TV existed) to talk to Americans about the Depression (before FDR became President in 1933)?
Well, hell, I’d vote for Obama. There’s nothing racist about it.
Too easy...

Dear Lord...a newbie!
The title needs some work.
The smoking gun.
An aside...And from a pretty good source as well...from the horse's mouth as you say, though you really need to read the posting guidelines about keeping the titles accurate so as to prevent duplicate posts.
There is already another thread (FOUND: The missing Columbia years:) from the same site with the same title problem.
sorry
“NEW information about Obama’s socialism”
Pun intended. Haha! Well done, FRiend. Maybe people will see ‘now’?
My lame joke, ugh! I need coffee.
I think that the one thing we may have going for us is that on Nov 4, many of the people who say they are voting for Obama may press a different choice in that voting booth, then swear afterward that they voted for Obama.
In the worst case, if Obama is elected and the Senate and House become unblockable, and if they run through our freedoms with a pitchfork in the name of change and tell us it's for the greater good...they will find that many of us refuse to be reeducated. Obama will be a one-term President and socialism will be a one-term government. At least Rush and Hannity will have plenty to talk about for the next 4 years, if they are allowed to remain on the air.
Obama and the socialists will find that we are incredibly persistent in refusing to submit to change. They will say terrible things about us, but they will not win. Even if they are elected, THEY WILL NOT WIN.
It IS creepy and there are millions of useful idiots. I get the impression that if Obama said what Bill Ayers once said, to “kill your parents”, the same crowds would still be cheering wildly. They are not listening anymore. They are just cheering.
Not the end of America, but perhaps the beginning of the Revolution of 2010. I’d call it the Great Patriotic War, but it’s already taken.
That is the really scary part of the whole thing. Obama's followers see nothing wrong with stealing.
This is the saving grace. We may lose a battle, but we are not giong to lose the war.
Agree whole heartily.
Please take the time to watch this if you haven't already.
Wow. That guy has me worried. He’s talking about Change We Can Believe In. And we’re about to enter the next stage.
The video really helps you see what’s going on, doesn’t it? It’s no wonder our concerns and warnings are falling on deaf ears.
