Twenty-Two Reasons To Vote Against Obama
thebulletin.us — He led the battle in the Illinois legislature to assure that born-alive infants would not be treated as persons and would not be entitled to medical care. Instead, if Sen. Obama had his way, such babies born alive after a botched abortion would be left to die, thus legalizing what appears to be infanticide and murder.

- LoneRanger85, on 09/07/2008, -21/+28Here are some more reasons stated by Obama himself
He's different.
He has a scary name.
And did I mention he's black?- michael43, on 09/07/2008, -8/+26Anyone who votes against him will be labeled a racist "because he's black". The obaminites are using this strategy and it's disgusting. How about giving people a little credit, some of us actually keep up with the issues and vote for the candidate we agree with most, instead of what the media tells us is politically correct at the moment.
- Evilena, on 09/07/2008, -20/+6There are so many ridiculous lies about Obama. Many of them are included in the list. I believe that many of the people that are quick to believe all the latest lies about Obama are simply looking for a reason to dislike him. I believe that some of the people that are looking for a reason not to vote for Obama are doing so for racial reasons.
- BadAshe86, on 09/08/2008, -2/+16Excellent point. Although there's nothing wrong with a black candidate, but do we really want one who plays the race card as often as Obama and his followers? As a President, he'll be completely unaccountable because anytime he makes a mistake, he'll say we're picking on him because he's black and we're all racists.
How many times have we heard Bush whine because he's portrayed as a redneck? None, as matter of fact, some of the derogatory comments made at his expense border close to the level of the "N" word, but that seems okay in the eyes of his critics, but Obama is the Messiah, don't touch him or you're evil. - Evilena, on 09/08/2008, -13/+6Obama is not the Messiah. There is no such thing. Only religious fanatics that want to loosely imply he is the antichrist call him that. I have not heard Obama play the race card at all. Some of his followers might. That doesn't really matter though. One positive thing about Obama's presidency is that it will get rid of the race card. Young black people will stop insisting that talking with proper english is talking white and holding themselves back in order to maintain their culture.
Bush has been portrayed as a redneck because of his actions, not because he is white or from Texas or because he is being pigeonholed into a stereotype. - 4wheel, on 09/30/2008, -0/+8Of course Evil ena, there are NO such lies about McCain, right? Every bad thing you read about him is true, and after all, he's a white guy. Who's racist?
- LoneRanger85, on 09/08/2008, -5/+13Uh huh. And anyone who doesn't vote for McCain are also doing it for racial reasons -- he's white. And sexist reasons -- his running mate is a woman. And anti-disabled reasons -- he was disabled by torture. And ummmm Ageist reasons. They say he's too old. And, and, and. Shucks. I'm not paranoid, so I can't come up with any other reasons. A little help here.

Typical corporate owned puppet so not much difference in that regard! - wefearwedestroy, on 09/07/2008, -25/+10wow. i love propaganda.
- IslandDog, on 09/07/2008, -4/+16What's not true?
- tasine, on 09/07/2008, -4/+20But conservatives love the truth.
- johndavidjack, on 09/07/2008, -3/+13I'm sure you say that in every HuffPOS, jedreport, DailyKOS thread, right?
- videodroner, on 09/07/2008, -2/+9Why don't you properly debate what's true in this article and what's not?
- 4wheel, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4Because he'd have to think and look up facts. That ***** is SCARY to a liberal. You're meen for suggesting it!
- tasine, on 09/07/2008, -8/+32I believe this article is the most complete profile on BHO that I've read. Too bad that those who should read it won't.
- bmcelrath, on 09/30/2008, -0/+6It wouldn't change their minds anyway. They've been brainwashed.
- tannermenzel, on 09/07/2008, -5/+30someone please find a way to get this to the front page.
- michael43, on 09/07/2008, -3/+18I forwarded to everyone on my list, but don't get your hopes up, sometimes I think they should rename digg diggobama because it's so liberally slanted towards him.
- BillE3, on 09/07/2008, -6/+20We all know how much "they" love propaganda, and how much "they" hate truthful and accurate reporting.
- andrenym00, on 09/07/2008, -6/+21Front page means you have to shout! Don't be timid my fellow americans!
- waggdogg, on 09/07/2008, -7/+26such babies born alive after a botched abortion would be left to die.
Who else will Obama let die, when no one wants them and they are no use to anyone?- Evilena, on 09/07/2008, -8/+4No one. That is a slippery slope fallacy.
- flip2trip, on 09/08/2008, -3/+8Evilena we know you think babies are punishment and should all be killed to keep the mother from being put-out, but waggdogg asks a perfectly viable question.
- Evilena, on 09/11/2008, -6/+3If that is her choice flip, but that doesn't make his slippery slope a viable question.
- 4wheel, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4The choice wa made when the pants were dropped. A baby is the consequence of that choice. The baby didn't do a damned thing to deserve death. You are evil, ena.
- craigly, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4Evilena: I don't see the slippery slope fallacy. I agree with flip2trip. It's a completely viable question. I think your judgment is skewed because you're drunk on the blood of the innocent. Pure unadulterated evil. I know the power of God and believe Jesus came to save *ALL* of us, so I'll say a prayer for you.
- Evilena, on 09/07/2008, -8/+4No one. That is a slippery slope fallacy.
- linuxdad, on 09/07/2008, -6/+27They are all good reasons but number 5 is the most solid deal breaker. It proves his anti-American leanings. We need a president that is pro-American. McCain-Palin
On the 2012 ticket Palin-Steele God willing! - SwampAss, on 09/07/2008, -7/+17i see no one is debunking any of it.
maybe they are waiting for the bots to give them the answers. - Evilena, on 09/07/2008, -18/+12Distractions like the flag pin, where he went to church, falsely calling abortion murder, the teleprompter nonsense and the debunked 6 months ago Ayers story are all there. Most of the rest are opinions or generalizations like "He never sticks with a job" and "the most liberal of any member of the U.S. Senate"
- PuterPrsn, on 09/07/2008, -3/+14Abortion is killing, regardless of whether you want to call it "murder" or not. Personally, if a baby is born alive and breathing, killing it should be murder at that point, regardless of how you think about abortion.
Ayers has never been debunked because there's nothing to debunk - he is a friend of Obama's according to Obama, Ayers did commit a crime and has admitted it, Ayers does not regret his actions and in fact has publically said that he wished he had done more damage. These are facts. Regardless of any conspiracy theory about houses, etc., the fact remains that Obama's choice of friends (current, not old history) leads me to suspect that he doesn't read people well - and that is something the President needs to be able to do. It is a skill usually gotten by experience, so I figure he needs more seasoning on that point.
As for never sticking with a job, he hasn't had one long enough to "stick to". His resume is not a very good one for the job he wishes to take on.
He is very, very liberal. For anyone who is conservative, he actually sits a shade to the right of Marx, and I for one would like to keep what little I've worked for and see to it that the drones who do not wish to labor at jobs "demeaning" to them don't get fruits of my labors. I've waited tables, flipped burgers, cleaned bathrooms, and scrubbed floors to get what I have. Others can do it, too. I don't want to hear about how "hard it is" - yes, it's hard, but no one said you could HAVE happiness handed to you, they said you have the freedom to PURSUE it.

- jamessavik, on 09/07/2008, -7/+16What Hussien Obama is is slicker than whale ***** for selling his line of BS effectively enough to make it this far. Now it's up to us to ask REAL questions about his plan and not merely "hope" that he has his ***** together.

- andrenym00, on 09/07/2008, -5/+14Iranians Hoping for ‘Muslim’ Obama Victory:
Iran’s leadership has expressed “great pleasure” at the prospect of a Barack Obama victory in November, according to Menashe Amir, the Iranian-born head of Radio Israel’s Persian language service.
But Iranian President Ahmadinejad has said he doubts that the American establishment “will allow” Obama to win.
“One of the Iranian religious leaders said if Obama will enter the White House, then Islam will conquer the heart of the American nation,” Amir told Isracast.com.
The Iranian leadership likes Obama “mainly because he is a Muslim,” according to Amir. His first name, Barack, comes from “al-baraq,” which is the name of the horse that Muslims believe Muhammad rode on his way to paradise.
His middle name Hussein is also a Muslim name, and he was “born in a Muslim family,” said Amir.
In fact, Obama is a Christian. His deceased father was a Muslim, and though Obama attended a Muslim school in Indonesia, he never pursued the Muslim faith of his early childhood. While some commentators have suggested that this qualifies him as an apostate — a “crime” punishable by death according to Islamic sharia law — Menashe Amir disagreed.
“If he wins the election, Muslims will be very proud of such a conquest, such a win. He didn’t convert [to Christianity] after he was 18. It happened much, much before,” so the sharia law judgment does not apply.- Evilena, on 09/07/2008, -9/+2Ahmadinejad just wants to avoid World War 3.

- andrenym00, on 09/07/2008, -4/+12Then shout my friend and let your friends know!
- radiofrequency, on 09/07/2008, -4/+18Listen to the democrats' rhetoric carefully. A vote for Obama basically means we as Americans are going to be governed by the UN, not by our Constitution.
- comedyfan, on 09/08/2008, -10/+2Yeah, because the republicans are SO great at following the constitution.
- DerangedPenguin, on 09/08/2008, -2/+7Actually the Republicans and Democrats have done a really ***** job of upholding their oath to protect the constitution. There was no Declaration of War against Islamo-Fascism. Thomas Jefferson got a Declaration of War to Fight the ancestors of today Islamic thugs when he sent the United States Navy to fight the Barbary Coast Pirates. Why no Declaration of War after 9-11, because a vast number of politicians are spineless and self serving what is we lost, gee it would damage their political career. If they voted against a Declaration of War it might damage their political career and their monetary wealth.
- comedyfan, on 09/08/2008, -10/+2Yeah, because the republicans are SO great at following the constitution.
- kreatre2007, on 09/07/2008, -5/+15This is absolutely awesome. I'm glad to see that someone has made a list of all of Obama's failings. Don't count on this list being reported by the liberal media.
- michael43, on 09/08/2008, -12/+10@Evilena: And I believe that you are a simple minded *****.
- Evilena, on 09/08/2008, -7/+8I can understand why you would think that from your point of view. I believe you are a brainwashed zombie worshipper.
- DerangedPenguin, on 09/08/2008, -3/+7I dugg down michael43... I dugg yours up. I think your view points are wrong, but I doubt that you are simple minded *****. Comments like that don't win arguments nor change nor enlighten minds, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you view the world from.
- michael43, on 09/09/2008, -7/+4On second thought, I believe you give simple minded ***** a bad name. You're more in the stupid ***** category.
- Evilena, on 09/11/2008, -4/+6@michael43 "once I made that leap, the absurdity of the big bang and life occurring for no reason became more apparent"

Yes, I am so simple minded I believe in absurdities like evolution and the big bang. I have had scientologists call me stupid also. You are in good company. - StaticThunder, on 09/11/2008, -4/+6Wow michael43. How Christ-like of you.
- 4wheel, on 09/30/2008, -0/+3Evil ena, I also believe in evolution and admit the possibility of the big bang theory, yet I also believe in the trinity. However, I don't believe in murdering Innocent babies and calling it a choice. You're so bold /s

- joevinny11, on 09/08/2008, -2/+12great one...dugg and shared
- Poetheunclothed, on 09/08/2008, -16/+3 I don't know if i should be more worried about the propaganda itself or the people that have commented here supposedly buying into it.
- BadAshe86, on 09/08/2008, -2/+13Typical liberal, complain about the issues, but when issues or facts are brought to their attention, they place their hands over their ears and shout...."I can't hear you! or Liar, Liar!"
Your biggest problem is that issues that you feel are important have different prominence in our lives. "Pro-Choice" to you has nothing to do with CHOICE, it should read "Pro-Abortion", then you'd be honest.
Six out of the last 10 "Palin Scandal" on Digg last week were found out to be frauds within 4 hours and how many chumps dugg them to the front page. If you want to be worried about *****, start looking in the mirror. - Evilena, on 09/08/2008, -9/+2Pro-Choice has everything to do with choice because it supports women being given the choice of what to do with her pregnancy rather than someone from the government making that choice for her. Calling that position "Pro-Abortion" is not honest in the least because most Pro-Choice people are actually anti-abortion. Many pro-choice people would not have an abortion themselves for moral reasons and would try to convince their pregnant friends and relatives not to have an abortion for moral reasons.
What are some of the Palin stories that have been proven to be frauds? I know there are many that have not been proven one way or the other. I dug many of those stories up because they seemed believable considering her religious background and considering how Republicans under the current administration abuse power. It wouldn't surprise me that some of the stories about her were made up.- 4wheel, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4What exactly do you view as the "choice" part Evil ena? Where is the choice made? Who pays the price for calling the life inside you a choice? You?

- FromTheTop, on 09/08/2008, -3/+11"[T]hese days Barack Hussein Obama is thinking that he will be elected the 44th President of the United States this November". Illinois State Senator Barack Hussein Obama was steadfast Pro-abortion and Pro-INFANTICIDE in 2002 and now as a U.S. Senator, bent on killing babies, campaigning for President of the United States.
"That June 2002, the U.S. Senate voted 98-0 in favor of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (although it failed to become law that year). Pro-abortion Democrats supported it because this language was added: 'Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species ***** sapiens at any point prior to being born alive as defined in this section.'"
"In 2001, Illinois State Sen. Patrick O'Malley introduced three bills to help such babies. One required a second physician to be present at the abortion to determine if a surviving baby was viable. Another gave the parents or a public guardian the right to sue to protect the baby's rights. A third, almost identical to the federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act President Bush signed in 2002, simply said a '***** sapiens' wholly emerged from his mother with a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definite movement of voluntary muscles should be treated as a "person," "human being," "child" and as an "individual." Obama voted against all three!
"In 2003, Democrats took control of the Illinois Senate. Obama became chairman of the Health and Human Services committee. The Born Alive Infant bill, now sponsored by Sen. Richard Winkel, was referred to this committee. Winkel also sponsored an amendment to make the Illinois bill identical to the federal law, adding — word for word — the language Barbara Boxer said protected Roe v. Wade. Obama still held the bill hostage in his committee, never calling a vote so it could be sent to the full senate. - FromTheTop, on 09/08/2008, -2/+13"A year later, when Republican U.S. senate candidate Alan Keyes challenged Obama in a debate for his opposition to the Born Alive Infant Bill, Obama said: 'At the federal level there was a similar bill that passed because it had an amendment saying this does not encroach on Roe v. Wade. I would have voted for that bill.'
Terrence Jeffrey, NR, says, "In fact, Obama had personally killed exactly that bill." "In 2004, U.S. Senate-candidate Obama mischaracterized his opposition to this legislation. Now, as a presidential frontrunner, he should be held accountable for what he actually said and did about the Born Alive Infants Bill.
"He is so pro-abortion he refused as an Illinois state senator to support legislation to protect babies who survived late-term abortions because he did not want to concede — as he explained in a cold-blooded speech on the Illinois Senate floor — that these babies, fully outside their mothers' wombs, with their hearts beating and lungs heaving, were in fact 'persons.'"
"Jill Stanek, who was a nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill., testified in the U.S. Congress in 2000 and 2001 about how 'induced labor abortions' were handled at her hospital. "'One night,' she said in testimony entered into the Congressional Record, 'a nursing co-worker was taking an aborted Down's Syndrome baby who was born alive to our Soiled Utility room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived.'"
Jeffrey said, "She told me this week he [Obama] was 'unfazed' by her story of holding the baby who survived an induced labor abortion".
