Obama’s opposition to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act is one area that has yet to be really exploited. I think it will be a HUGE issue in the fall, which is why McCain has highlighted his pro-life views recently in VP discussions.

This is an excellent article about Obama but there’s also a second article here, which the writer only hints at, but which badly needs to be written: an article about Fox News and how it’s zeal to be “fair and balanced” ends up with results so much like the New York Slimes, CNN and the rest of them that there’s not a dimes worth of difference between them.

Fred for VP would give McCain, who had publicly opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade, some pro-life street cred.

What is this going mainstream. Hillary get your commercial ready. Sheesh. She could really do damage to this idiot if she would just put this out. People would be disgusted over this. McCain won't do it at all. If Hillary loses this nomination soon, we will never find out this negative stuff about Obama. As much as most people can't stand Hillary at least she is fighting hard and getting Obama crap out in the open. McCain won't even let the North Carolina GOP do commercials criticizing the Messiah. It is stunning to say the least.

Great read; I think the more American knows about Barack and Amarosa Obama the better McCain looks warts and all.

“badly needs to be written: an article about Fox News and how it’s zeal to be “fair and balanced” ends up with results so much like the New York Slimes”

Very true. It disgusts me to hear the excuses and “giving the benefit of the doubt.”

I suspect McCain is gambling for Black votes if Hillary gets the nomination. He’s trying to avoid negative campaigning in order to avoid antagonizing them.

I don’t see that as being all that important. The pro-life issue, as a voting issue, has faded precipitously (last week’s poll of “important issues” had it down there with global warming, at near zero as a ‘voting issue’).

That is an interesting take on it. I must confess I did not think that angle. I guess I just think negatively with that guy.

Agree. I don’t look at foxnews anymore. I’m losing faith in bloomberg too because of junk being reported like fact such as this:

Which poll are you talking about? Most studies over the past years have shown a shift to pro-life amoung the general public, especially with 18 to 25 year olds.

You are missing the point. Being pro-life as a separate deciding issue in the campaign to differentiate the candidates is why it was on the bottom of the list issues. The article was very important in laying out existing known negatives about why Obama is not suitable to be near the White House (and the Senate for that matter as well, but standards aren’t as high for that office), let alone be President.

Obama’s opposition to a piece of legislation that received unanimous support in the Senate that would not protect babies born in the abortion process is a key into his character. Along with the people he hangs out with (anti-American crowd and racists), his elitist comments on people in PA which are like most of the middle part of the country and his wife’s bad attitude, his position on life is completely out of any mainstream view and puts another nail in his chances of getting acceptance as a candidate.

Obama is not fit to be dog catcher. At least dog catchers value the life of the dog. His extremely liberal stance and his lack of support for our country, our military and life in general make him completely undesirable and dangerous for our country. Don’t vote for him.

That is great article, and if that message gets out to the voting public, Obama will be unelectable. (He already is, but not enough people know that yet.)

The Rev Wright preached “hate whitey”, and Obama and his family went there for 20 years. Obama was given free private education from grammar school through law school. As he was being raised in Hawaii in non-black surroundings, He still managed to come up with anti-white racist feelings, to the point that he reverse-psychologied himself into believing that blacks were superior to whites. It’s in his book.

Speaking for myself, I see many indications, some obvious and some not, that he is as racist a politician as we will ever have. He’s had these feelings since childhood, all through his years at Trinity church. I actually thought he was a refreshing young candidate, and I had no problem by the fact that was black. Until the Rev Wright stuff turned up.

That’s the reasoning I use to label him “unelectable”, because any man, no matter his color, should never even come near the presidency of our country with that kind of bias saturated into his heart, mind, and soul.

He is a “bad man” because he’s trying to pull a fast one on the country. Obama is a racist, pure and simple.

I checked on some voting figures this evening, looking for tallies up to March 11, just about the time Rev Wright revelations popped up.

As of March 11, 2008, 39 states had held the primaries without their voters (or anyone else, I guess) knowing anything about the “hate whitey” church, etc.

Obama led with 50.26%, Hillary having 49.74%. Obama led by approx 500,000 votes out of about 28 million total.

Now, that’s really close, but a half-million votes does give a measureable figure, and the delegate margin reflects that, I suppose.

The PA primary the other day, after the church issue had been much discussed, and Obama had made some dumb statements and got hacked up in the last debate, resulted in 45.3% of the voters going for Obama, and 54.7% voting for Hillary.

My much-belabored point concerns whether the vote percentages for the 39 primaries conducted BEFORE the church mess was made public, might have more closely paralleled the PA results, if those voters had been aware of Obama’s racist principles before they voted. (I’m ignoring all the important demographic tendencies, etc.)

The rest of the primary results could show a trend like that of PA, and wouldn’t that mess up the Dem convention?

Great column! Finally someone strings it all together! Indeed, Obama is dangerous. That he has even come this far is almost beyond belief. That so many Americans could be deceived and would so eagerly follow him at their ultimate personal peril is instructive of the spiritual vacuum that has nearly overwhelmed our country.

No, I'm not missing the point at all. For MOST Americans, that particular vote is no different than a vote on taxes or anything else that would "reveal his character." His comment about small-town America, guns, and churches, in the minds of the average voter, went FAR beyond any vote he ever cast in the IL legislature.

Recall it was not John Kerry's "vote" on the Iraq war that caused him such trouble, but the perception that he was a flip-flopper when he said he voted for the funding before he voted against it. I just think too many conservatives, especially the pro-life sort, see something like this and go "AHA." It doesn't work that way. Portraying Obama as being a "liberal," even an anti-life one, has limited effect.

Portraying him as being hostile to ordinary, working-class Americans has terrific effects.

Rush noted an exit poll last week that listed the most important issues that shaped people's votes. The economy was #1 with about 40% of the public. Abortion and Global Warming were about #7 or #8, coming in at 1% or less.

And it's a totally different thing to say "pro-life is gaining ground" as a general principle than to assert (wrongly) that it is the voting issue this season. It ain't. No one supported McCain, for example, because he was pro-life, and large numbers opposed him primarily because of his other positions.
