The Obama Tidal Wave

Post by hrvestuff »

The Obama Tidal Wave

We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Obama of rare magnitude. His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of 'Change' or that he says he will be a 'Uniter'. The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing; Certainly Billy Graham had charisma and both his manner of speech and particularly the content changed millions. On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler inspired millions and the results were catastrophic.

Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham, but for many Americans out there feeling just like a surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, the real story is what happens when it hits shore.

Many people have asked, 'what has Barack Hussein Obama actually accomplished to qualify himself as a candidate for President?'

Here is a list of Barack Hussein Obama's accomplishments:

* He voted against banning partial birth abortion.
* He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
* Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government.
* In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing.
* Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum wage affair.
* Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high school and in college.
* His religious convictions are very murky.
* He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
* Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim nations.
* Opposed the Patriot Act.
* First bill he signed that was passed was campaign finance reform.
* Voted No on prohibiting law suits against gun manufacturers.
* Supports universal health-care.
* Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.
* Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
* Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.
* Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform.
* Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
* Wants to make the minimum wage a 'living wage'.
* Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes.
* Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid.
* He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax.
* He voted No on repealing the 'Death' Tax.
* He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax.
* Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded.
* He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.

If your political choices are consistent with Barack Obama's and you think that his positions will bring America together or make it a better place, then you will probably enjoy riding the wave and not passing on this information. If you are like most Americans that after examining what he stands for, are truly not in line with his record, it would be prudent to get off the wave before it tosses you up on the rocks.

Barack Hussein Obama has little chance to win this election...and he shouldn't as he is not a good American.....never held a real job in his life.., never served in the Armed Forces...and has long exhibited Muslim leanings in his religion and political bent....whatever it takes...he needs to go down.

Wow, Hrvstuff, glad to see you're jumping on the Obama bandwagon. Thanks for spreading the word. It's great how you're letting people know that Obama shares the views of most of the voting public. I guess that's why he's kickin' McCain's @ss in all the polls.

Keep up the good work.

Do you have any of your "own" thoughts on this subject, or would you rather just cut and paste someone elses?

(Depends on what scale and the sentence)
* Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high school and in college.
(I did to but am strong anti-drug now.)
* His religious convictions are very murky.
(So are mine)
* He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Many Republicans (for lack of a better candidate) are jumping on the McCain bandwagon. While many facists like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, The Christian Right can't stand him, they are continuing to WAFFLE with their undivided support. This is the man who wants to bring you:

1. 100 more years of fighting in IRAQ. I guess if you come from a desert (ARIZONA) it looks so familiar. As long as that fightings "Not on my sand"
2. Division amongst the Republican party. The "Ultra Conservatives" don't know how to approach McCain.
3. As many more years of "Bush Policies" as possible. No economic plan, housing market shambles, banks outta business. Ya know like "PAPA BUSH" did back in the early 90's.
4. Eraticate the "Middle Class" as it's known today. Ya know keep general inflation higher, tax breaks for the rich, and meanwhile their paychecks see no increase. See #3!!!

So, I guess If ya want more of the "Same, Same" you'll continue to vote Republican. You'll be sorry!!!! :? :shock:
