The deception of the extreme left is troubling, please consider: Obama - Allusion to the Promise of the Siren He whispers softly “Change You Can Believe In” Change...Trust, Trust, Trust, Trust, Trust, Trust…. Found at: http://zachjonesishome.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/obama-the-sirens-promise/

It may take a while before the American voters to see the true color of Mr Obama's political skin. So far, he has run very much like Bill Clinton a while back and even overtook Bill. Pundits around believe you can run from the left or from the right in Primaries, but when it comes to the last miles to the White House, go for the center. But doing that with a cost. John McCain seems to run from the right to the far right and that may cost him the White House. Flip-flopping is nothing new in politics. But doing it with skills will make you a winner. The bottom line is that, the more you call it change in politics, the more you see the same stuffs showing.

Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? Can a man of wavering and uncertain principles lead a nation of wavering and uncertain principles? We stand at the crossroads and look. But, do we ask for the ancient paths? Do we ask for where the good way is - and walk in it? Or have we built our house on the sand? America, can you hear the sound of the waves and the wind? A great storm is coming and our house is not prepared. Matthew 7, verses 24 to 27 Maranatha!

Where in the hell does Obama stand on ANY issue? The circus comedy that constitutes the Obama campaign. This is a scenario that has repeated itself multiple times on other issues. On terrorism - Obama is asked a straight forward question on his anticipated policies to combat terrorism; and, he responds in an equally forward manner that he would handle the issue as a police action. The McCain camp immediately exploits Obama's naive response, correctly highlighting Obama's dangerous inexperience and lack of understanding of the gravity/complexity of the issue. Obama's handlers immediately haul him into the cloak room; advise him that his response was feeble and misguided; tell him what he should have said; and, send him back into the public forum, teleprompter in hand , to read his handlers prepared text on the latest version of his position. The Main Stream Media immediately chimes-in lauding Obama for what he meant to say on the issue all-along! Unequivocally, Obama is the equivalent of a circus clown; a stand-up comic; a circus-barker attempting to lure the mentally-challenged into the tent with promises of an epiphany; a Charley McCarthy mannequin that appears to lip-sync the commentary from his ventriloquist controllers. This man is an virtual imbecile who is totally without the capacity to speak intelligently on issues on which he has not been previously programmed by his puppet masters. P.T. Barnum was right on target when he observed: "There's a sucker born every minute." ; but, hopefully the American electorate will not be duped by such a charlatan. Electing Obama as President Of The United States would be the equivalent of appointing Jack Kevorkian as Director of The National Institutes Of Health. National suicide. Greg Neubeck

"He declared himself a "supporter of the Second Amendment" after the Supreme Court struck down the District's gun ban." Not quite. His statement of 26 June was a masterpiece of triple-speak. I say he should be hounded until he expresses himself clearly, namely that self-defense in Cheyenne is the same as in Chicago.

In Obama's rush to the center one thing has remained a constant....his plan to raise taxes on high achievers to redistribute to hard-core democrats and to grow the size of government. On McCain, only a leftist could possibly call him a conservative. I'm a conservative and to me he's a centrist.

The left needn't worry. It's just BHO saying anything to get votes, to win the election, to keep the party conspiracy of Dean, Brazil and BHO moving. He will return to the far left if elected and probably move the farthest left into socialism. Nobama

Obama is just another politician who wants to tax us to death and give us a nanny state. If you think he's just going to tax the wealthy, you need to look again. There's no way he can pay for all of his *free* health care and other plans by taxing just a small percentage of the population. We'll all suffer. I suppose it won't really matter, because he'll be handing us over to our enemies on a silver platter, given his inexperience in matters of defense and his enthusiasm about negotiating with terrorist regimes. I was shocked when he won out over Hillary - not that I want her for President either. I just never thought Americans in 2008 would be won over with flowery speeches that have very little substance. "Hope" in what? "Change" - what kind of change? I am incredulous! Obama = Big hat, no cattle!

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
