RedskinsFanInTX Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is trying to claim the political center, following in the footsteps of previous nominees including Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980. Yet the Illinois senator has a higher hurdle than most: a consistently liberal voting record. In recent weeks, Obama said he supports gun-ownership rights, backs legislation giving immunity to telephone companies that participated in an anti-terrorism surveillance program and would consider cutting corporate taxes. On July 3, he said he would ``continue to refine my policies'' on the Iraq War. Barack Obama in the center??:laugh: He's alot closer to a hammer and sickle than he is to the center in the politcal world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydevil Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Barack Obama in the center??:laugh: He's alot closer to a hammer and sickle than he is to the center in the politcal world. If only, it is kind of disturbing how defending basic civil liberties is considered far out leftism. Obama move to the "center" is truly tragic, but sadly predictable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've always had a hard time believing that he'll "reach across the aisle" when he votes the way he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiebear Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 How they are allowed to just outright lie and get away with it. Each bold faced lie by ANY politician should go before the Ethics Committee. Hillary should be allowed back in ... He's running as Her at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've always had a hard time believing that he'll "reach across the aisle" when he votes the way he does. He will reach across the aisle in the same manner the Dem congressional leaders have....not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
