Factors that Could Lead to Obama's Downfall

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


The Democrats currently control both the House and Senate and barring some extreme unforeseen circumstances will not only continue to hold, but most likely increase their margins of control. Barack Obama has the most liberal voting record in the U.S. Senate. Most far left liberal policies are not terribly popular with American voters, but if the Democrats control the White House and all of Congress, voters will have essentially given them a blank check to do just about anything they want. One only has to look at the extreme liberal voting record of Barack Obama, as well as the liberal agendas and records of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to see what they can expect in an Obama presidency.

It should be obvious to voters that an Obama presidency along with a Democrat-controlled Congress would result in the most liberal policies many of us have seen in our lifetimes or imagined in our wildest nightmares. Add to that the very real possibility that a President Obama would appoint two or three Supreme Court judges. There would be virtually no check on the power held by liberal Democrats and they would feel emboldened by the election to claim a mandate for anything they proposed.

This is a scenario that should frighten all but those in the most extreme left wing of the Democrat Party, but I don’t think it is a scenario that most voters have really considered. Those in the media are not going to write or talk about Obama’s extreme liberal voting record, just as they have not, and will not, investigate his associations with the likes of domestic terrorists, slumlords, and fat cats that fleeced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It is up to the McCain campaign to draw that picture for the voters.

Those on the left will say it is fear mongering, even though for years they have warned of the extreme right wing and the fascist dictator state that America would become under Republican governance. They can’t do that with John McCain, who has so often been in opposition to conservatives. Since he would almost certainly have a Congress controlled by Democrats, any attempt to scare Americans with a rightwing fascist state is absurd.

Those on the left can neither credibly argue that a far left agenda would not prevail in an Obama administration. Barack Obama’s voting record is Exhibit One that is exactly what voters should expect. The case against Obama and complete Democrat control of government is bolstered by crooked associates of Obama such as William Ayers, Tony Rezko, and Rev. JeremiahWright. Additional clues to the leftist paradise that might exist under Obama can be seen in the thuggish attempts to silence his critics, whether it be his goons trying to shut down talk radio interviews or his operatives in state offices who are threatening to sue anyone who makes claims about Obama they deem false.

It would be no mystery to voters that an Obama presidency would be dominated by a far left liberal agenda if they were looking at the track records and associates of the candidates. Instead they are largely being shown an illusion of a modern day Messiah who is ready to unite the country and solve all its problems. They are being shown images of adorable children singing songs of worship and praise to Obama who is going to “rearrange” things to make them right. They are being given fluffy, puffy stories about the candidate by those who profess to be news reporters. The veil is so thin, really, if you know what stands behind it. Whether or not the McCain campaign can lift that veil in the final month of this campaign will determine the course of the country in ways we can only now imagine.

Obama does hate the middle class ...
Obama does indeed despise the middle class. However, he was also taught in his early radical/marxist days that the only way to power was not through the poor -- they don't have any -- but through the middle class. The middle class is the engine of our society, and if the communist means to drive the train, he needs to manipulate that middle class engine. We have the work force, we fight the wars, we have the backs and the stored capital that the radical must get us to release to him so that he can rule. This is all in that little book "Rules for Radicals", dedicated to Lucifer the first rebel, that Obama studied when he trained to be a community organizer. Community organizer means commie community organizer. There is not other kind. He hates us, but he means to suck up to us just enough to get hold of us so we will bend our backs to pull his glory train, with him sitting on a throne in first class thinking about how the oceans began to recede and the planet began to heal the moment he had nailed the nomination. I would rather die than be that man's slave.

Obama Hates the Middle Class
*
As he was taught to by his "surrogate father" the Rev Jeremiah Wright, and penned these thoughts in his memoir for anyone and everyone to read.
For those of you not from Chicago and have never been privileged to read the daily menu of government corruption that was Barrack Obamas political education and school of higher knowledge and beleive this somehow represents "CHANGE" you need to get a clue and rise above the third rate education that our public school system gave you, the same the same ignorance promoted by Barack Obama and William Ayers through the "ANNENBERG CHALLENGE" and pedaled for him by Barrack Obama from a 50 million dollar grant.
Barrack Obama and the Hyde Park crowd he hangs with including but not limited to Tony Resko one of his best freinds and muslim philanthropists serving 26 to life for being Dangerous to the American way of life, who he only hangs with now on visitation day at the Pen when he implores him to keep his mouth shut about all the other dirty deals that will go away with a Presidential Pardon a la Mark Rich, Timothy McVeigh I mean William Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan have been the center of his life since Obama wandered over here. America Haters All.
Do you see a pattern here or is it just us Cook County voters. Its all about equality, and not the kind where you reach down and pick you neighbor up from poverty and despair its the William Ayers kind where you tear everybody down to your level and rebuild society the way they seem fit.
At a Fundraiser in San Fran probably similar in location and demeaner to Hyde Park, Barrack Obama uttered those words of true disdain for the middle class, "those folks clinging to their guns and religion" .
But did anybody hear him, I mean Them.
