Let’s look at the “CHANGE” obama is talking about, where he stands on the issues.
Voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion. (Mar 2008)
Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Apr 2007)
Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions. (Jul 2006)
Voted NO on recommending Constitutional ban on flag desecration. (Jun 2006)
Voted NO on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. (Jun 2006)
Supports affirmative action in colleges and government. (Jul 1998)
Voted YES on factoring global warming into federal project planning. (May 2007)
Voted YES on disallowing an oil leasing program in Alaska’s ANWR. (Nov 2005)
Voted YES on banning drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. (Mar 2005)
Wants Detroit to build more hybrids & use more ethanol. (Oct 2006) – 1700 gallons of water needed to produce 1 gallon of ethanol. 30 percent of our food taken off the market to produce 3 percent of our fuel.
Respect 2nd Amendment, but local gun bans ok. (Feb 2008) – Are you people (OBAMA SUPPORTERS) that stupid? The 2nd amendment means what it says, you ALL have the right to own a gun. This means it trumps local gun bans, not the opposite. Does anyone know the difinition of the term “contradiction”?
Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers. (Jul 2005)
I have to stop here, there’s more, much more and so far there’s nothing here that represents change unless you want to change America from being free to a Communist state.

This post is sure to incite much controversy, mostly because it’s the truth and the truth without a legitimate rebuttal is attacked with non-substantive vitriol. So, who’s the racist? That would be all you blacks (I don’t subscribe to African-American, if you’re black and a U.S. citizen, you’re an American, period) who plan on voting for Barack Obama for no other reason other than he’s black. You are so desparate for the symbolism of having the first black President, you refuse to look past the color of his skin and deny delivery of who Barack is. Your eyes and ears are blurred and plugged and anyone who questions his policies, his voting record or lack of one, or points out the flaws in everything he brings to the table, you lable us as the racist. Well, I’m not going to adopt a defensive position here, because I have no reason to. I have no problem voting for a black candidate, if that candidate subscribed to Americanism (freedom as the solution to all problems, not government). Obama is not even close to anything that could be labeled an American; this includes his party, the Marxist Party of America (I know, oxymoron).
You’re so desparate to have a black President, you completely ignore his supporters, the enemies of this country. Our enemies could not have asked for a better opportunity to cripple this country economically and militarily, because Barack Hussein Obama is going to do it for them and give it to them on a platter. The list spans from Al-Qaeda, to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to Omar Kadafi. Are these the people you want supporting the next President? I forgot, you can’t see past the color of his skin, it’s all OK.
You believe in the right of parents choosing where their children go to school. Obama opposes this, I forgot, anything beyond the color of his skin is not important.
You believe in not taking a backseat anymore and be allowed equal opportunity like all Americans, like as though that’s a real issue. Looks like you’ll be taking a step back and will be backseated to all the illegal immigrants Obama wants to put on the welfare rolls and move to the front of the line when it comes to opportunity and health care. I forgot, anything beyond the color of his skin doesn’t matter.
You are pro-life and believe in protecting the life of an unborn child. Obama is on the other side, he IS NOT PRO-LIFE. I forgot, the color of his skin keeps blocking these facts out, it just doesn’t matter.
You’re budget is squeezed to the max because of high gasoline prices, well, get ready for $8 per gallon for gas under Obama. In case you missed his admission, Obama favors higher gasoline prices. I forgot, he’s black and you can’t see or hear anything else, you’re like Gollum in The Lord of The Rings, I’m not listening…I’m not listening.
All you blacks, please feel free to jump in any time and let me know when I’m wrong. What I suspect is nothing more than the same. You’ll call me names, you’ll call me a racist, that’s fine, it’s what I expect when you can’t dispute the truth.

The other day I posted “WHO TO BLAME” for our fuel costs. That would be the Democratic Party and three influential people (John Flicker at 212-979-3000, Frances Beinecke at 212-727-2700, and Von Noppen at 510-550-6700) destroying this country under the guise of protecting the environment. And let’s cut to the chase, the Democratic Party is not an American party anymore. It’s a Marxist Party and the problem we’re in is a government created one through decades of the Democratic (Marxist) Party incrementally restricting access to our own natural resources, onshore and off by selling a bunch of lies to the American public. Now, we’re viewed by the rest of world as insane. We invented offshore drilling and now the rest of the world is using our technology, but we’re not. Anyone who thinks this about the environment answer me this, why is it that the only time you hear anything from these jerks is when we want to drill? The Chinese and Cuba are going to start drilling in the Gulf off our coast, not a word, no protesting at all. Old Hugo in South America can drill all he wants, not a word. There are offshore rigs in the North Sea pumping oil like crazy, but no protesting there either. So much for it’s all about the environment.
The bigger question is why are Obama and the Democrats scared to death of us getting our own oil? Who is holding their feet to the fire to oppose this even when 70% of Americans want offshore drilling to begin? I just visited the DNC website and it’s like I expected, full of BS and no substance. The same old mantra; reduce our dependence on foreign oil…how? Investing in our workers and infrastructure…what infrastructure? Providing American consumers with broader, more responsible choices…what choices, and what does this mean? Same old excuses, like it’s going to take 10 years to get any of this oil online. Are freaking kidding me? Does anyone think to ask Obama or Schmucky Schumer how long it’s going to take their pie-in-the-sky alternatives to come online?
The problem is supply, or the lack of supply and the Demcrat’s solution is to reduce consumption at the same time taxing the oil producers into obliven. Basically, they want a stagnant economy, no growth, and no innovation. Their solution will result in less supply, not more and higher prices, not lower. We’ve done this before, in the 70s. The reality is, the Demcrats want these higher prices, they want you to feel the pain, even Barack has publicly admitted he does not have problem with these high prices. I’ll repeat that again, OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIGH GASLOINE PRICES. In fact, he endorsed a gradual increase of prices to where we are now. And you fools want this cluess, anti-America, inexperienced, dumbo-eared dolt to be President? Don’t get me started on this idiot, because I intend on outlining in detail what America would be like under this Marxist.
How about the Democrat’s and Obama’s endorsement of the ethanol boondoggle? Again, another government created f@@kup. Because of this insanely stupid idea that they still won’t let go of, we’re removing 30% of our food (corn) from the market to create 3% of our fuel. So now, food prices are inflated on two fronts, cost of tranportation and 30% of it removed from the market. The next most important resource we’re going have to worry about is water because to create one gallon of this crappy fuel we have to use 1700 gallons of water to do it. This from the same people who forced regulation down our throat regarding the amount of water we can have in our toilet tank because they were concerned about us using too much.
The Democrats and Obama are mentally ill, they’re dysfunctional and 100% disconnected from reality.

I’m back and I have had enough of the Democrats (Communists), Obama, and their mouthpiece, the mainstream media. The high cost of oil, gasoline, and natural gas can be laid squarely in the lap of the Democratic Party (the Communists). They have repeatedly grilled the top CEOs of the largest oil companies in America attempting to blame them for setting the price of oil and gas. Threatening a windfall profits tax (someone explain what a windfall profit is) to taking over the industry. This is the usual tactic of guilty people to deflect attention away from them. They know nothing about economics or the industry, but they successfully manage to illustrate their ignorance. By doing this, they count on your ignorance. We are the ONLY country on the planet restricting access to our own resources, which will result in economic suicide. If you want someone to blame, look to the Democratic Party and the environmental groups who have put us in this situation.
John Peterson of my home state of Pennsylvania sponsored a bill to lift the band on offshore drilling had the votes to get it passed, but who removed it, DEMOCRATS!!!! I am going to continue to drive this home until you get tired of it, and then I will start again. Even when 67 percent of America wants drilling to start, and start now, who stops it? DEMOCRATS.
Here are three more anti-Americans to blame. These three set environmental policy and have a stranglehold over Democrats. They are Jon Flicker of the National Audubon Society, Frances Beinecke of the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Trip Van Noppen of the organization Earthjustice. Three enemies within, and three powerful people who stand in the way of our own oil and natural gas. I suggest you give them a call and let them know they’re done screwing with this country. You can contact John Flicker at 212-979-3000, Frances Beinecke at 212-727-2700, and Von Noppen at 510-550-6700. Don’t be jerks, be passionate about how you feel and make them understand you will do everything possible to stop their destruction of our country.

We all hate higher fuel prices, but it’s not the fault of the big oil companies. Unlike many clueless Americans, my anger is not misplaced, I’m pissed alright, but not with big oil companies, but with Washington and the environmentalists. First off, it’s simple why prices are high, it’s called supply and demand, not price gouging. And while we’re talking about price gouging, visit this link if you want to know who biggest gouger is (http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2005/10/gas_taxes_excee.html). You don’t need an investigation to understand simple economics. I know for most of you this is academic and you understand the concept, but this explanation is for our so-called political leaders in Washington Wonderland who feel it convenient to blame big oil because they failed simple economics and the left (the new socialist party). Supplies are low, the demand is high, when there isn’t enough of something (in this case oil and gas), the price goes up. You don’t need a degree or much of an I.Q. to understand this. I know, I’m giving way too much credit to the socialists,I mean libs. We have a capitalistic system, it’s how this country grew (it didn’t grow on socialist policies [windfall profits tax]) and the difference between supply and demand will always determine the market price of something. That’s why it’s called the free market.
Now, why are supplies down and prices up? Well, let’s do a quick review. Over the last quarter-century, the number of refineries in the United States dropped to 149, less than half the number in 1981. Refining capacity during that time period shrank only 10 percent from its peak of 18.6 million barrels a day. At the same time, gasoline consumption has risen by 45 percent. The last refinery to be completed in the United States was 1976. Since 1999, our percentage of net imported oil has risen from 50.8% to over 60% today. Our production since 1999 to 2004 has dropped from 8.1 million barrels per day to 7.6. Let’s include the increased demand for oil by China and India as well. OK class, does anyone see the problem here? Before you answer with one of your political talking points, common sense indicates we don’t have enough refineries to keep pace with demand and we don’t produce enough of our own oil. It’s that simple, no investigation needed to defer attention away from the root cause of this. There’s no need to rant and rave about how dispicable gas prices are or think it’s a conspiracy between the oil companies or OPEC.
Next, who’s to blame? Who do we know that have obstructed and handcuffed our ability to drill for our own oil, kept our own resources off limits and instead of building more refineries, forced us to close more than half of them? Who do we know that pushed for these regional blends of gas which is a major contributor to your high price at the pump and cuts off the ability to transfer gas from one part of the country to another? Come on, you can answer, don’t be shy’the Socialist Party; oops, I mean Democratic Party in bed with the Enviro-Weenies. Would it help if you had some names? Bill Clinton (vetoed the passage of a bill allowing drilling in ANWR [1998]), Hillary Clinton (Voted YES on removing consideration of drilling ANWR from budget bill. [Mar 2002]), Al Gore (wanted a .50 per gallon gas tax), Chucky Schumer, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, should I continue? These are the same misfits who all wanted to impose a .50 per gallon gas tax to intentionally hurt you and the economy. This is their idea of making it easier for the consumer and increasing supply. Now these hypocrites (Liberals, the terms are synonymous) are crying the price is too high and they’re concerned for the American consumer. They want to blame the oil companies for price gouging when they should be applauding the higher prices. I mean, they wanted to increase the cost at the pump by .50 per gallon over night. I guess it’s not as much fun when you can’t be the arbiters of screwing America over. I have a statement for you idiots, stop talking out of your butt hole and look in the mirror if you want to point fingers. Look in the mirror when you want to talk about price gouging. This party’s solution to everything is to always increase taxes or impose a tax on an industry under the guise of getting even and the greater good. Stalin justified everything he did for the same reason and look what Russia ended up with under his reign of power.
Is any of this sinking in yet? My question is directed to the kook left. Probably not, since looking at the world through the eyes of a Liberal is them standing on their head and telling everyone else they’re upside down. Also, a Liberal always refuses to accept delivery of facts or reality.
You thought I forgot about Arlen Specter, Senator in my great state of Pennsylvania. He might have a R after his name, it stands for Reject, not Republican. He ought to just jump to the Socialist Party because he thinks like one. Old Arlen should remember we tried what he’s proposing and a windfall profits tax is one of the primary causes of the oil shortages of the 1970s during the Carter administration. Long lines at the pump. Gas rationing or no gas at all.
Sure, let’s do that again.
Bottom line, in the short term, remove the use of these mandatory blends. I know the President proposed waving it, but he has to have the brass to it and ignore the resistance he’s going to get from the Enviro-Nazis’ and Democrats. Yeah, Democrats, the inactive, not proactive party. The party of whinners and complainers. My dad always told me, if you can’t offer a solution (one that works), then don’t say anything at all. In this case, don’t listen to the Democratic Party, because they’ll screw it up even more than they have already. Move aggressively to ramp up production of off-shore rigs and building a few more refineries. Again, don’t listen to Democrats, they’ll have you believe the environment will be destroyed. I have proof in two words they’re full of it, Alaskan pipeline. Long term, take down the off limit signs from all the resources the Democrats have put them on. First place, is ANWR. It’s time to be proactive, the solutions are simple, it’s not time to debate what we’re going to do and pander to the lunatic fringe ideas of the left.

The Democrats are calling the GOP the do nothing Congress refusing to raise the minimum wage (http://www.democrats.org/a/2006/09/the_do-nothing_6.php). Ranting and raving about lost buying power and that American families deserve better as though there are millions of families struggling to survive through the minimum wage. Obviously, the Republicans are too lazy or spineless to justify the reasoning or laying out the facts as they really are.
So I am here to lay out the facts for liberal idiots who think raising the minimum wage will benefit American families. If you want to see the numbers for yourself, go to the U.S. Dept of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. These are the numbers for year 2005. In 2005 there were 75.6 million workers, out of that work force, 2, 373,000 were making at or below the minimum wage. Now we can start paring down the number. We can remove 1,494,000 because that represents workers ages 16 to 24 years old. I don’t think this demographic is supporting a family. This demographic are high school, college, and college graduates bridging their exit from academics to the work force. That leaves 879,000, 25 years old and up making the minimum wage. But wait, there’s more, we can shave some more off that number. In the age group of 60 years old and above, there are 88,000 making the minimum wage. Looks like seniors supplementing the outstanding government social security we have that government taxes after they taxed these same workers to contribute while they were working before retirement. OK, so that leaves 791,000 workers making minimum wage. We still aren’t done, we have to account for married couples (both spouses) making minimum wage. That leaves an age group of 25 to 54 years old that are more than likely supporting themselves and possibly a family. That number is 308,000. That’s it, this is the huge number the Democrats are in a tizzy about. Actually, it’s not if read the article at the above link. All they focus on is class envy and how heartless the Republicans are.
By listening to the Democrats, you’d think America was struggling and there were soup lines in every city. There is no reason to raise the minimum wage, nor should there be one. It is what it is. It’s a wage for entry-level jobs for young workers in either high school or college and an instrument for some seniors to supplement the meager social security that returns less than one percent.

Barack expressing his desire for unilaterally disarming America in a You Tube video. This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl32Y7wDVDs) is the perfect campaign commercial to use against Obama. You deer in the headlights morons following this guy, what, are freaking kidding me? This jackass has no business being a U.S. senator, let alone President of the United States. Have any of you given any thought to the consequences of what he’s indicating he will do? Apparently, you don’t have the capability to think, if you did, you wouldn’t endorse this empty suit.
…I will cut investments in unproven [sic] missile defense systems…
…I will not weaponize space… (So space will be left for the Chinese and the Russians to weaponize leaving us defenseless sitting ducks)
…I will slow development of Future Combat Systems… (While the Chinese, Russians, and Iran are accelerating their future combat systems)
…and I will institute a “Defense Priorities Board” to [prevent] unnecessary spending…
…I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons…
…and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons…
…I will seek a global ban on the development of fissile material…
…and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert…
…and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals…
Who the hell do you think is going to benefit from such stupidity? Who do you think is out there saying, we love this guy, he’s doing our job for us? Are you people so freaking naive to think if we refuse to protect ourselves by putting us in a position ahead of everyone else that China, Russia, and Iran are just going to stop their development. This is nothing other than a Commander-in-Chief throwing up the white flag of surrender.
