Obama liberal? HAHAAHAA!
1)He does not have the most liberal positions, lets face it, Democrats are conservatives. If you want a liberal position look at Cynthia Mckinney's.
2)He makes many liberal claims, and then goes and votes completley oposite. He has continued to vote for the war. He voted to provide immunity for Bush's illegal wiretapping. And just the other day he voted for that goofy copyright bill, the one that says piracy is our nations top priority.Oh and don't forget that impeachment was always "Out of the question".
3) He has the backing of the conservative Daley machine. They only back conservatives, if your not, they'll take you to court to get you off the ballot. And they don't care if it's the Democratic ballot or the Green.
4) I'm not going to vote for someone who doesn't believe in free elections. In MY state, Illinois, the Green Party is a recognized party, like the Democrats or Republicans, and are thus have a ballot in the Illinois primary. Statewide, Obama and his party were telling Green party members that they could not vote on thier own ballot, that they could only get a Democratic or Republican ballot. In some cases they were even threating them with arrest if they continued to ask for Green ballots. My own sister, who was on the ballot as a Green committeeman, was told by the local Democratic precinct captain at the polling place, that she could not have a Green ballot, that there were no Green ballots and that she had to vote either Democratic or Republican. It wasn't until she pointed out the package of unopened green ballots on the Judges table and told him she would take on of those did he finally give up and let her vote.
These were not isolated events. All day long I was getting calls and reports of these things happening.
