I'm getting weary of the libtards spouting that they have an "African American" in the Executive office now (or very shortly rather). On a few occasions, I've found myself in the midst of hardcore leftists and I've just kept my mouth shut and nodded at things. If you slightly "steer" a conversation with them, you can discover what they really think about certain things. I've discovered that they don't really even like black people, and think less of those who are of mixed race, and even less of a white woman who procreates with a black man. They'll think the woman to be a whore and the man to be high minded. They're a terrible bunch of bigoted hypocrites and for as much as they claim to be tolerant, they resort to hate and violence at little or nothing, even against each other...USUALLY against each other! If you think they're hard on us, you should hang out with them sometime! We can go home to our ultra-conservative, Christian environments and get shelter...enjoy peace and understanding...heartfelt sympathy and empathy. Even with no base of operation we have the peace and presence of the Lord. All they have is "Change We Can Believe In" which is interesting because so far none of them can explain to me exactly what this means except that it's going to be different from what we had before. :-) Didn't Sodom get Change We Can Believe In?....how about the Assyrian empire?...the Babylonian empire?... (which was the GREATEST ever known!). Speaking of which...where did the Pharoahs go? How about the Hitites?...the Edomites? "Change We Can Believe In" swept them all away! ...and so it will be with every hollow, empty man who makes promises which there is no way he can keep.

Don't slam me for writing this because you guys know better than anybody that I certainly don't share these views about racism! I'm just passing on what I've observed. It strikes me as ironic that outwardly, they come close to worshipping the political correctness of the entire scene, while inwardly loathing him (Obama) and each other.

It's all really a moot point. His base will hate him within 6 months. He's in an impossible situation and while I feel bad for him, he (like so many others) thought he knew what he wanted. He (like so many others) will soon discover the truth.... and we of course will be there to remind him regularly.

I like your points, but I submit McStumbleBum's voting record doesn't support it.

To see what I mean by that, download McQuisling's voting record as far back as possible. Graph it against time, and (if you don't feel like the extra work to add an axis for "importance to Conserv. Governence", "veto threat", and a few other things...[grin]) look simply at the timing of his votes.

The 1st standout item is McCain strongest Conserv voting is prior to congress flipping in the 90s, and depending on the bill's importance to inflating government. It seems that Ol'ReaganFootSoldier *loves* big government! I'm sure we all remember RR telling us that The Best Government is the Biggest Government. The other point that becomes obvious is that McMole was "building a resume" of Republicanism -- when the Dems controlled congress and could easily outvote them -- but it let McC say he fought hard, but you know... they just didn't have the votes, etc. The funniest examples is when he'd speak *against a Dem bill before the vote, but vote for its passage*! A trick he would use increasingly as awareness in the electorate of Libs & Lib bills expanded and opposition to them increased in the base.

Then GWB "broke" the unspoken rule to avoid pointing a party member's liberalism out. And, the rank & file Conservatives listened. McCain will never forgive the party for that.

So early on, he voted conserv. to standout in meaningless ways. He often went outside the bill crafting process to move the Liberal agenda forward. Take Wisconson RTL, and how he fought on behalf of PP, incl. writing briefs to the court. Of course, this had 2 of McCain's favs going for it: backstabbing the base and infringing on 1st Amendment Rights -- a sure pleaser anytime!

But, rather than reveal all the yummy nuggets graphing McBlivet's voting record reveals, let me just urge you to do it. Its sure to open the eyes of even the most jaded McCain-basher.

Oh, you *think* you know him now, just wait! [grin]
