I read today that on Face the Nation Senator Obama said that Senator McCain deserves no credit for his work on the banking reform act, and then proceeded to explain why the credit should go to him for his work on the act, which he admitted to having done by phone from the campaign trail.
I think it is safe to say that the Senator from Harpo Productions has been phoning it in since before he took office.
He has in recent weeks begun to play the race card more heavily as the polls have evened out, then as McCain surged, and as the polls evened out again.
I don’t doubt that there are those who will vote against the Senator from Harpo simply because of his color. I find that tragic since there are so very many excellent reasons not to vote for him.
I personally am voting against him not because of the color of his skin but because of the content of his character. Abortion is bad enough, but he voted to allow doctors to withhold treatment from babies who were born alive in botched abortion attempts. (I wish the abortion lobby would spare us their rhetoric about hangers in back alleys when they seem perfectly willing to allow a living breathing baby to die of neglect on a cold hospital table.)
And then, after voting against protecting these smallest Americans, he lied repeatedly about his reasons for doing so.
Senator Obama is not worthy of the office he holds, much less the office he seeks. Not because of the color of his skin but because of the abysmal content of his character. He does not deserve to ride the coattails of men like Martin Luther King, Jr., Jesse Jackson, or even Al Sharpton, into the Oval Office.
I had minimal respect for the Democratic Party before, but to see them whore out their credibility on such a cynical attempt to buy the black vote, is nauseating.
