D. Lloyd-Morgan has a great piece over at The Liberty Sphere. Obama criticizes McCain for voting with Bush 90% of the time but HIMSELF is more liberal than Bush is conservative. It’s like voting with Dennis Kucinich 100% of the time… (speaking of which, I think the McCain camp should run an add with this statistic just for kicks).
Along with San Francisco extremist Nancy Pelosi, he votes with environmentalist extremists who have hamstrung this nation’s ability to provide for its own energy needs.
With Carolyn McCarthy and John Conyers he has called for the outright ban of handguns in America, essentially rendering the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution null and void.
But, surpassing all of the Leftwing Democrats mentioned above, Obama has gone far beyond the normal liberal mindset of insisting on abortion-on-demand. Obama supports infanticide. While an Illinois legislator, he voted against a bill that would have mandated medical care for infants that survive botched late-term abortion attempts.
The bill that was introduced in the Illinois legislature was a response to an incident wherein a newborn infant that survived a botched abortion procedure was placed in a darkened closet without food or water, and simply left to die unattended.
This was just fine with Barack Obama, and he put his vote where his mouth is, voting against providing medical care for other babies in similar situations.
Clearly this vote shows that extremist liberals have moved beyond abortion to baby killing outside the womb–a position that even Pelosi and Kennedy don’t support.
