Wow, first Obama breaks his own word by opting out of public financing, now he’s trying to raise money on his broken promise.

Hilarious… A campaign funded by voters, that UMPOSSIBLE.
Nevermind that he’s running his campaign from voters money instead of lobbyists, he lied when he decided not to take the lobbyists money.
Keep it up, this blog is a real hoot!

Wait a sec, regarding lobbyists, the dude is taking money form tons of PAC, such as $59K from Verizon and $87k from AT&T. There are tons of PAC’s, which, while not exactly considered lobbyists by narrow definition, surely are. Such as GoldmanSachs.
Perhaps some of the commenter’s on the left would like to explain this all to us. Na, expect deflection time.

Ah yes William, he has. He has indeed, I don’t deny it. In fact, every politician has and more. But no more. From here on out, Obama’s campaign is funded by the voters.
And now William, here is your defection; Not that this really matters to me. I like Obama because of what he proposes to do with healthcare, the economy and the War in Iraq. I also like his immigration policy.

SAR, Obama promises to destroy healthcare, ruin our economy, deliver victory to terrorists, and open our borders.
if that’s what you want, vote for him.

“Obama promises to destroy healthcare, ruin our economy, deliver victory to terrorists, and open our borders.”
Would you please link to where he has stated any of those objectives.
6. Matt Margolis | June 24th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Just look at his platform.
7. Casper | June 24th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
I did

Here it is!!! The land of Oz, Socialism, and Fascists. Wow. I don’t remember the tornado, but I woke up in a nightmare. Neither Candidate should get socialized funding……….Look at the symmantics in the wording. You call yourselves conservatives, but I’ll bet each one of you mano y mano that none of you can tell me the Bill of Rights, or a thing about the Articles of Confederation. Oh god which one of you aren’t cross dressing as the wicked witch, or touching little boys; ah heck I’m on a role which one of you don’t toe tap?
Remember The Bill of Rights,
Peace and Freedom

Poor Margolis…he’s spent so much time in Wingnut Talking Point Land, he doesn’t know how to return to reality. He’s like an acid casualty.
Funny to see all these fiscal conservatives suddenly angry that somebody doesn’t want government money.

What did you expect from Obama he’s a political opportunist

Yes matt, I have Kuran in the basement and I’m just dying to bust it out in the living room instead of that forsaken bible. I like being rejected by insurance companies that I pay monthly because I have some kind of pre-existing condition that I developed when I was 3 years old. What I really really love is that my neighbors had to foreclose and are now sleeping in their mini-van until they can find another place to live (assuming they can get a loan for another house) thats not a 2 hour drive from their work and children’s schools.
You are a partisan hack… It is people like you that are ruining this country. We laugh at you for now, in this year 2008 your true colors are finally coming to light for even the retarded paper boy that lives 4 doors down and always gets in the wrong house can finally see that.
If you have or ever have children, for your own sake do not let them know you have this blog.

Well first of all it doesn’t surprise me in the least about the lack of concern amongst the liberals. Their word never meant anything any way. The phrase, “I give you my word” is subject to change at anytime in the liberalsphere.
SAR,
You’re paranoia a growing daily. But don’t let that freak you out, there are much more improtant things to be worried about.
But I do want to know why you aren’t letting your neighbors stay at your place. Do you not have any compassion? I thought liberals cared about people and yet you let them live in their van???
And if you moved to AZ, we have a great state sponsored health care plan that I could set you up with and we could treat thatr pre-condition.
I am guessing it’s mental in nature.
peace, neocon

“You’re paranoia a growing daily.”
I wouldn’t say paranoid, I’d say I have trust and abandonment issues. Along with this inherent fear of death and the unknown to some extent. The difference between me and you and that latter in this regard is that I recognize mine and don’t let it consume me.
“But I do want to know why you aren’t letting your neighbors stay at your place.”
Their feet smell.
“And if you moved to AZ, we have a great state sponsored health care plan that I could set you up with and we could treat thatr pre-condition.”
Thanks for the inviation, it’s really big of you
“I am guessing it’s mental in nature.”
haha, I got a kick out of this one.
And I may have a mental disorder, but at least I can still use my d*ck. Your wife seems to be thankful for it anyway.

Democrats Best For African Americans?
If you dig just a little you discover that they are a party founded by slave owners, which championed the fight to enslave us during the Civil War and nevertheless 85% of my fellow African Americans vote for them. So long as we so slavishly support them, when will they ever value our vote with real action? You may feel Obama is a no brainer but think long and hard about the rest of the ticket candidates they offer.
After 60 years of obeying them what have we got to show for it except cultural self destruction? Its time for a change!

Obama’s Government Record Raises Questions
Given what you know about Barack Obama why is anyone comfortable with having him driving us into our future?
He is a tax and spend liberal.
He supports affirmative action in colleges and government.
He has been identified as having the most liberal Senate voting record.
He believes in global warming.
He wants to pull our troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq despite Pentagon advice to the contrary.
He voted for biofuel without thinking long-term, which has raised futures markets and therefore food prices worldwide.
He is on record as willing to raise your taxes.
He bought land & a home from his friend Tom Rezko who’s under investigation for demanding kickbacks from companies wanting to do government business in IL.
He is against sending 12,000,000 illegal aliens home and wants to reward them with a path to citizenship.
He wants to push for a Jimmy Carter style windfall oil tax that is guaranteed, as in the past, to reduce US production and exploration.
Barack Obama is unsafe at any speed.
