Why Obama won’t win –
“In his years in the state senate, Obama amassed a left-liberal voting record. He cast votes in support of partial-birth abortion. He cast votes for gun control and tax hikes and expanded government health care. He was against the Iraq war, against last year’s $87 billion appropriation for reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan, against both Bush tax cuts. He glosses over his opposition to NAFTA and his desire to “reexamine” trade agreements while advertising his support for “globalization” in the abstract.” from the Weekly Standard.
"His voting record certainly displays the ideology characteristic of an indulgent liberal. (Sorry, “Progressive.”) Obama favors abortion, socialized medicine, and Affirmative Action. Obama sponsored a bill in the Illinois legislature requiring local police departments in Illinois to record the race of anyone stopped for questioning so that the data can be used to track the occurrence of racial profiling. He opposes a $2,000 tax credit for retirement and has voted against private gun ownership, mandatory sentencing and the death penalty. During his tenure as a legislator, he abstained from voting about an abortion parental notification bill and on legislation that would keep pornographic video stores and strip clubs from within 1,000 feet of schools and churches. He has also voted against laws requiring students to complete suspensions before being transferred to other school districts. He abstained from legislation requiring adult prosecution for students who fire guns on school grounds. He opposed legislation making it a criminal offense for accused gang members to associate with known gang members.
Ironically, Obama is the candidate of the racial segregationist. It is not because segregationists want him to be a Senator. It is because he is classified African-American using the standards of racial segregationists.
Obama is called [and calls himself] an African?American. However, Obama is half-white. His father, who was black, abandoned him and his mother when he was about two years old. He lived with his white mother and white grandparents.
Considering a mixed race individual an African-American is a typical liberal practice. They routinely refer to anyone who is partially black as black. Tiger Woods, Halle Berry and Mariah Carey are all mixed race celebrities regularly referred to by the liberal media as black. Tiger Woods has had the gall to complain about this. (With good reason; his mother is Asian.)
Ironically, this custom by liberals and Democrats of referring to partially black people as black is simply a reiteration of the old racist, Jim Crow, “one-eighth law.” In racist locales, such as segregation-era Louisiana, people with as little as one-eighth African-American ancestry were classified as black. This classification led to dramatic curtailments of freedom. In Missouri and Mississippi, “The marriage of a white person with a negro or mulatto or person who shall have one-eighth or more of negro blood, shall be unlawful and void.” Obama is black only by the standards of white segregationists.
By insisting that mixed-race individuals be considered black, Democrats – the party of the unreconstructed South – are displaying their segregationist roots." from the Free Republic.
So you would like him POX. You two have a lot in common: he’s a progressive (a.k.a. wrong) on most of the most important issues of the day, and he sounds like he has some problems with race (see above and his misrepresentations of his own Muslim heritage).
He wouldn’t be elected to the drain commission in my state, or in the South, or in most of the Midwest. I’ll help you guys out. If you want to win elections, stop putting up democrats with a voting record. It only hurts them when they try to go national.
