The Big, Bad Right-Wing Wolf

The media is cranking up their criticism of anyone who dares criticize Obama.

I particularly liked this part:
Blitzer suggested told Obama they’re going to “paint” him as a tax-and-spend liberal.

Answer:

“Paint” him? Who needs to add any paint to that picture? That is the truth – he’s the most left-wing Senator in Washington -- and they know it.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
We know that in North Carolina and Indiana, 90% of blacks voted for Obama, there is little doubt that in the Presidential election that pattern will hold.

Race should be the least important factor in any election,but unfortunately it appears it will play a significant part in this one.

Takiing this tack (thats a seafaring reference) in the campaign will appeal to the White guilt sector of Americans who feel the Presidency is owed to Obama because of the previous slavery of blacks 250 years ago, and there are a lot of them.

It also avoids, and hopefully throws water on any efforts to put pressure on Obama for his real views on abortion , taxes, entitlements, a horrendous national universal health insurance, and running out of Iraq with our tails between our legs and the savaging of America's military afterward.

But you miss the brilliance of the approach. How can you paint a man with "no experience" as a tax and spend liberal? If he has "never accomplished anything" how can you say he's a tax and spend liberal?

You can make that case if you go back to Obama's time in the Illinois Senate and look at all those bill he wrote and voted on. There are some real Liberal Gold Star winners in that stack, but to use them you have to admit that you've been lying about Obama having no experience with government of never accomplishing anything. This is another case where swallowing the Clintonaid is going to bite Republicans.

Um, because that's what Obama himself says he's going to do?

Or should we not listen to his rhetoric, either?

If you listen to what he actually says you are in fact really drinking Clinton koolaide and falling into her trap because if you go back and look at his voting record in the senate.....wait, don't do that a voting record is not a good indicator, go back to his Illinois senate record......wait, don't go there either.......uh ......well .......uh.........RACIST! Yea that's it. You are a RACIST!

Well, McCain is talking up Liberal causes but we're told to ignore that because he's just pandering to the Democrats to try to get their votes. So if we can't trust what McCain is saying, how can anyone trust what Obama is saying? You gotta look at the record.

Who is "we"? Because you can't possibly be including me in that. I fully believe McCain means what he says, and I believe Obama means what he says.

You, Bruzilla, may be completely controlled by media spin, but I am not.

Did I say "you"? And please... you've been dizzy from the spin.

Senate voting record (well, the 80% of those votes he bothered to be there for) That's how.

And, when comparing voting records, McCain is a moderate conservative, Barry is a socialist liberal.

It's really all right there.
