Dems for Obama are now upset that John McCain is questioning Barack Obama's background. They are calling the questions McCain is asking dishonest.
I disagree with your assessment of John McCain giving false answers. It is a fact that Barack Obama served on a board with Bill Ayers. It is also a fact that Mr. Ayers hosted a campaign fundraiser for Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama said they merely lived in the same neighborhood, which is true, but he said they had limited contact. They sat on a panel together, put together by Michelle Obama, to talk about juvenile justice. Senator Obama has not been forthright about their relationship. I would like to see Mr. Obama be more open about their relationship. I would not sit on a board with a man who admitted to being a domestic terrorist. I would politely decline.
I am also concerned about Mr. Obama's changing rhetoric about his relationship with Jeremiah Wright. First, he said he didn't hear any controversial statements. Then, he said he had heard those statements, but he didn't agree. Then, he knew Wright to be controversial, and decided to condemn the church. Why would he not stand up for what he believes?
Mr. Obama says whatever is right to advance his political career. This is a big concern to me. I have a hard time believing Mr. Obama will actually reduce taxes. He has never introduced legislation to reduce taxes on anyone. He has never voted for any tax reductions, and in fact, has voted to raise taxes. He told Illinois voters he would reduce middle class taxes. He has yet to do so. This is a very big concern to me. If someone tells me they are going to do something, and they don't do it, I no longer can trust that person.
He now says he will not raise taxes on anyone making $250,000 a year. He says he will reduce taxes for 95% of Americans. This is not possible, as over 30% of Americans do not owe any income taxes. Is he going to increase their EIC payment? Is he going to take more money from tax payers and give that money to low income residents? This is another form of welfare. While I do agree with an earned income credit in principal, I would like to see taxes reduced to the point that anyone making less than $25,000 a year not pay any income taxes.
I am concerned with he and his wife's statement that everyone will have to give up a share of their pie to help those in need. Why should I pay higher taxes to support someone who does not get an education? I make charitable contributions each year. I choose where I give the money, and how I will help those people. America needs to give an incentive to those who choose to better their circumstances, not those who choose to live off the system. This is an example of the Marxist principle of redistribution of wealth. I do not want to be the USSR.
Mr. Obama supports our tax dollars going to illegal immigrants. He is against immigration reform. This is absolutely not right. We need to strengthen our borders, and Mr. Obama has voted against improving border control in the Southwest United States. He voted against increases in border patrol agents. He wants the government to provide health care to illegal immigrants. They should not receive dollar one of our tax money, as they are here ILLEGALLY!
Mr. Obama is against a missile defense system, and against nuclear weapons. We need to continue to develop our nuclear arsenal for our security. You can not trust Russia, Iran, North Korea, or China. We must have our nuclear arsenal in place to deter other countries from firing their nukes. This is a matter of our future. Mr. Obama has limited foreign policy experience. He is very naive and needs more seasoning. What magic pill did he take since 2004 that makes him prepared to be our leader?
Mr. Obama is not a moderate based on his record. He is a line by line liberal who is not trying to run as a centrist. While he is a good person at heart, his values do not match my values. The only reason he is in the lead is that he has charisma and people are tired of George Bush. If Mr. Obama can tie John McCain to George Bush, why can't John McCain tie Barack Obama to Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers? Why can't Barack Obama be tied to Acorn? He was the lawyer for Acorn, and ran their Project Vote campaign, the very campaign that is being questioned for voter fraud.
My question for you is simple. How can you support Barack Obama?
