The National Right to Life Committee released a statement Monday saying: “Senator Barack Obama’s four-year effort to cover up his full role in killing legislation to protect born-alive survivors of abortions continues to unravel.”
Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council Action, also released a statement calling for Obama to apologize to voters.
“Senator Obama’s position in the Illinois Senate was to oppose any legislation that would protect such innocent life. Everyone else was clear that the bill addressed infanticide not abortion,” he said, accusing Obama of “twisting of the truth.”
Perkins claimed the campaign since clarified its position “that it was the senator himself who was actually wrong on the facts.”

While troops deployed abroad might be giving more money to Barack Obama, a poll released today says that John McCain will get the vast majority of votes from members of the military and veterans.
McCain leads Obama 56 percent to 34 percent, with 11 percent expressing no opinion or picking someone else.
The military vote could be a difference maker in several traditionally Republican states where Obama is trying to pull off upsets, including North Carolina and Virginia.
And McCain would seem to have the edge because veterans tend to be Republican and because of his experience as a decorated Vietnam War veteran and prisoner of war. Obama did not serve in the military.
I’m sure that our military men and women would want someone with experience to be their Commander in Chief. Who would want a leader like Obama with no experience except for sitting in a Church for 20 years listening to Jeremiah Wright saying “God damm America.”

Recently, Kathleen Sebelius has run afoul of Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas. The bishop has told the governor that she “should stop receiving Communion until she publicly repudiates her support of abortion. In a column for his diocesan newspaper, Naumann wrote that he was particularly outraged by Sebelius’ veto of an antiabortion bill.
I decided that just as well get started soon on where Sebelius stands on the issues, and now I also see why Obama would not answer the abortion question and said that it was over his pay grade, he had to be careful of what he said knowing that Sebelius would be his VP! Obama also will drive off more conservatives that he wanted to win over! He will lose Catholic votes also with this VP pick!

Kansas An early Obama backer, she might help win over female voters still peeved about what happened to Hillary Clinton.
I think the cat is out of the box! Wonder how it will go over with Hillary Rodham Clinton for Obama to pick another woman and not her? I see nothing exciting about this VP pick! But now the way she is into this kiss above, she might be excited!

Barack Obama’s tax plan is the opposite of supply-side economics. The tax credits would mostly go to those who pay little or nothing in federal income taxes. His trick is to make the tax credits “refundable.” Thus, if the tax credit is for $1,000, but the taxpayer would otherwise only pay $200 in taxes, the government would write a check to the taxpayer for $800. If the taxpayer pays nothing in federal income taxes, the government would pay him the whole $1,000.
Such credits are not tax cuts. Indeed, they should be called The New Tax Welfare. In effect, Mr. Obama is proposing to create or expand a slew of government spending programs that are disguised as tax credits. The spending on these programs is then subtracted from the total tax burden, in order to make the claim that his tax plan is a net tax cut overall.
On the tax side of the ledger, the details released by his campaign last week confirm what a President Obama has in mind for our most productive citizens. The top individual income tax rate, for example, would be increased by 13%, to 39.6%; the next-highest rate would be raised to 36%. The top rates on capital gains and dividends would rise by a third, to 20%

If you the working man/woman want to pay more taxes so the couch potatoes can lay around and watch TV then by all means vote for Barack Obama. If you the Working man/woman want to pay more taxes for unmarried women to have more babies and not have to work then by all means vote Barack Obama.
