Yep, if Obama keeps changing his positions to more sensible ones, I may have to vote for him!

And if McCain ever makes a coherent statement – about anything – I might consider voting for him – but given the past few months, that ain’t likely.

Go have another slice of pie and STFU!

Chickenhawks and war-mongers.

One can only image what his relationship with his mother is like, behind closed doors.

Well, on Welfare Reform, BO seems to be all for it, though he was against it before he was for it.

“I am not a defender of the status quo with respect to welfare,” Obama said on the floor of the Illinois state Senate on May 31, 1997. “Having said that, I probably would not have supported the federal legislation, because I think it had some problems.”

Hmmm… an article on a political blog that cites a change from a 1997 position to a 2008 position constitutes a flip-flop, huh?

Jeez. You are desperate.

Barack Obama aligned himself with welfare reform on Monday, launching a television ad which touts the way the overhaul “slashed the rolls by 80 percent.” Obama leaves out, however, that he was against the 1996 federal legislation which precipitated the caseload reduction.

Obama’s transformation from critic to champion of welfare reform is the latest in a series of moves to the center. Since capturing the Democratic nomination, the Obama campaign has altered its stances on Social Security taxes, meeting with rogue leaders without preconditions, and the constitutionality of Washington, D.C.’s, sweeping gun ban.

I am very wary of Liberals and Progressives legislating behavior.

Man, does this guy ever proof read his posts before hitting submit? What is he wary of? A strong economy and qualified managers for federal agencies such as fema, fda, etc.

Oh yeah, its welfare…..that’s breaking our country…..funny, you would have to have 1000 national welfare programs to equal our defense budget…guess which one I think should be cut?

No Jonah, but in many people’s minds it was a crime for you to be born.

minarchist Says:
Welfare reform was essential as AFDC was a completely broken system. Welfare as it was constituted was, as the economists say, a deadweight loss to our system. Giving incentives to citizens to be productive, as opposed to being leeches, was a broader public benefit.

Who says it was broken? You? Who are you? Leeches, really? Broader public benifit….really?

Actually it has been one of the most successful programs in American history with tremendous benifits to our society….not the kind you want to see obviously. You are fine with people starving and dying of common disease while you drink your late’ bought with your trust fund money. Really who is the leech?

Second most sucessful program in American history is social security…..suck it up big boy, the days of death and destruction for the helpless will soon end, no thanks to you…..you probably tell folks you are a christain too…

Are they able to understand the concept of tax credit?

Apparently not.

Interesting thought. I wonder if Jonah ever received any compulsory education?

My guess is that poor Jonah saw compulsory education as the slavery that it is, and escaped the plantation the first chance he got. Before they taught critical thinking, obviously.

What did it matter? His job prospects could only be damaged by education.
