If you have already decided to vote for Obama and Biden, don't read this article, but if there is just one particle of doubt hung up in your logic filter, please read this and think hard about it.
Barack Hussien Obama is the most radical political figure ever to be nominated by a major party. This frightens me.
Obama promises to change America forever, and I have no doubt that if he is elected, he will do just that. Remember, Obama is the most liberal member of the United States Senate.
He received a 100 percent Liberal Rating from the National Journal, making him the most left-wing Senator in Washington - more liberal even than Edward Kennedy.
Look at Obama's record and you will understand just how dangerous he is. Study his dangerous economic plans for America.
He wants to almost double the capital gains tax. He wants to strip the FICA tax cap off every worker making more than $97,500. He wants to increase the dividend tax. He wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire - giving every American worker an automatic tax increase.
He has called for more than $800 billion in new spending programs.
He is so radical he even backed driver's licenses for illegal aliens - even though such a move would help future terrorists move freely in the United States.
He is the most pro-abortion candidate in the history of the country. In 2001, as a state legislator in Illinois, he opposed a bill to protect live born children - children actually born alive! He was the only Illinois senator to speak out against the bill.
He opposes gun rights. He has long history of trying to deny ordinary citizens access to guns.
He originally backed Washington D.C.'s total ban on private handguns - a ban that was overturned. The NRA rated him an "F" on gun positions and says he is one of the most dangerous anti-gun politicians in the nation.
Obama is a Harvard educated elitist. To him we Americans are simply "bitter" and he has mocked us saying "[they] cling to their guns and their religion."
Perhaps even more frightening is the fact that he has terrorist friends he won't denounce. One such man is William Ayers, a leader in the radical terrorist group the Weatherman Underground. The group bombed several government buildings, including the Pentagon, killing civilians and police officers.
In 2001, Ayers said he had no regrets for his actions and wished he could have done more.
The ties between Obama and Ayers are tight. Both served on non-profit boards and worked closely together. Ayers hosted a political event at his home for Obama.
Obama has acknowledged he is a friend of Ayers and defends his association by saying he, Obama, was only 8 years old at the time of the Pentagon bombing.
However, Obama has no explanation as to why he is still a friend of Ayers.
Obama has been endorsed by radicals such as Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan. That's the diametrical equivalent of David Duke endorsing McCain. Yet the main-stream liberal press says nothing about Obama's friends. He gets a complete pass on this.
We all recall Obama's relationship with the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
There should be little doubt that William Ayers and Louis Farrakhan and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright are rooting for Obama - because he is one of them.
In keeping with such friends, Obama has promised to meet with radical leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without "preconditions" even though Ahmadinejad has promised to "wipe Israel off the map" and "destroy" America.
Even radical Hamas terrorists have praised him.
Think about this for a moment. Some years back Muslim extremists promised they would plant Muslim youth in this country who would live here pretending to be loyal Americans. They would run for office and one day they would take over the country and destroy it. I can't say Obama is one of these "planted Muslims", pretending to be a loyal American, but I believe we have too many solid leaders who are without a doubt loyal to the USA to take a chance.
He claims to be a Christian, but would a "planted Muslim" confess?
Unbelievably, Obama has a slight edge on McCain in recent polls, mainly because the press does everything possible to conceal Obama's true colors.
We can still defeat Obama if we let Americans know the truth. John McCain can win this election!
We must expose Obama for the dangerous radical he is.
Please think long and hard before you pull that lever. Is this the Change you seek? Is this the man you want defending our nation as Commander in Chief?
