July 08, 2008 Obama's Voting Record Complicates His Shift to Political CenterThis headline from Bloomberg, picked up by Drudge, says all any voter needs to know about post racial, post-ideology Sen Barack Obama (D-IL).
Yep, nothing like a provable voting record to know where a candidate stands no matter how inspiring the present day oratory.
But...
And yet
Oh? Certainly just mentioning these gross er, inconsistencies will guarantee a spot on Obama's anti-smear blog; perhaps even rate a frantic charge of racism from the anti smearers. But then of course all is right--Obama is smearing himself and his beliefs as one part of his heritage denounces the other. Will the Obamaniacs notice? Care? |

Hey. How many inconsistencies can you have in 143 days of Senate experience?
Empty suit.
Cheers

i believe obama's phoniness is catching up with him. as more and more of his backflipping on every issue is being exposed, many are beginning to take a second look at him.
i'll even bet that many delegates are even having second thoughts about him. but, it's too late for that.

I think there are a few holes in this sock puppet. It is pretty bad they are already picking apart his voting record and we haven't even to the convention. you'd think Hillary is behind this,

@ mark abby
Hey, when you're talking about the Clintons, it's never too late. Technically, the delegates to a political convention are, and always have been, free to vote for whomever they wish. I'm not saying I think it'll happen, but still, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see some last minute takeover attempt by Shrillary at the convention.
But you're right about Obambi. His inexperience is beginning to catch up with him. He's starting to flail around a bit realising that he's dug himself some pretty deep holes. We haven't heard the last of his "clinging to religion, guns, etc..." comment dismissing the working middle class yet, and he knows it's coming. He tries so hard to look calm and calming, poised and together, but the illusion is fading when he's heard voicing a different position every day.

Does not matter. The left has no moral compass. Obama's voters are not going to accept any trangression as long as it isn't Bush. This is about the vapid notion of change.
Better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven...

He probably thinks he can get away with it because John McCain has flopped on a few issues to appeal to his Republican base.

I find myself thinking about Winston Smith, sitting in his cubicle in the Ministry of Truth, correcting misquotes, typos, and other such errors in the Times. When he and thousands like him were done, the written record always proves the party to be correct. The party is never wrong, the party never changes policies, and Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. I think of that, and I think of Obama and the rest of the mob on the left as they reinvent themselves with no substantial shifts in policy. For Obama, it is the magic phrase 'As I've repeatedly said...' as he says something for the first time, showing off his skill as a doubleplusgood duckspeaker. He's even got his own doublethink Party slogan, 'Change you can believe in.' And it is true; when he changes his position, the Party and the proles will believe that he has said it all along while the Minitruth (aka MSM) carries his water. And he is confident in another slogan, 'Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' One thing they forget though; THEY DON'T CONTROL THE PRESENT!! As long as there are people who are out there who still remember, still seek other sources of information, still shout out, Abe Lincoln's maxim still holds true; 'You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.'

Hey, isn't it nice to know that Obama's friends such as Ayers the unrepentant terrorists, Farrakhan and his the Nation of Islam, Rev. Wright and his cabal, and other US haters would be partying at the White House as often as they want while condemning America and White Americans?
And perhaps, there would be Friday prayer at the White House.
Lord, please spare us from this nightmare.
The problem is not really about Obama. He has shown his weaknesses--blatantly and clearly no matter how he is trying to conceal them. The real problem is, McCain's camp does not know yet how to play the game and capitalize from all Obama's big flaws.
Once the masses (the independents, the conservative democrats, and the misguided conservatives) get used to Obama's big personal and policy flaws, especially with the constant protection from the media, nothing McCain's camp can do to stop his winning potential, especially when the convection is approaching.
McCain's response to Obama's recent stand on Iraq is not clear at all, let alone persuasive to those who object to the war but still want the US to win it.
July is the defining moment for McCain. He has to hit Obama hard--real hard before the convention. They have to define what Obama's presidency would look like in a simple jargon. And after the convention, a coordinated attack from 527s should expose Obama's fatal personal flaws out to the public.
