Obama's record.

Know who you are voting for.

While there are some things to admire about Barak Obama (like his strong marriage and family life), I don't think people realize that Barcak Obama is not a liberal but is a leftist.

This is not an attack on Senator Obama. What I am attempting to do is clarify what the man is politically.

According to the American Conservative Union, Senator Obama has a lifetime rating of 8.0. The ACU tracks every member of congress and whether they vote conservative or liberal. An eight means that Mr. Obama votes conservative eight percent of the time. Do you really want a presiodent who votes left ninety-two percent of the time? For comparison, Senator Clinton has a rating of 9.0 while Senator McCian has a lifetime rating of 82.3 percent. Barack Obama has also received a perfect 100 percent rating from the far-left National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). John McCain received a big fat zero from NARAL by way of comparison.

Barack Obama talks about uniting the country. But this is dishonest rhetoric. While I belive he is sincere with wanting to unite all of America, how does he propose to do this? Lose the war in Iraq? That won't unite America. Raise taxes? Expand the size and influence of government? He wants to do all of those things but none of those will unite the country. What he really means to say is that he wants America united behind what he believes which means he wants half the country to abandon their values. Any politician who talks this way (and Republicans do it too) is dishonest.

In the next few months, as the media examines Obama's record more, we will see just how far left Obama is. Then we, the American people, will decide if that's what we really want.
