What liberal voting record?

If you are referring to the bullshit, right wing National Journal "Most Liberal Senator of 2007" label slapped on him--it is entirely bogus, and certainly isn't based upon his actual votes.

FOR the renewal of the Patriot Act

For the appropriations bills to continue the war & occupation

FOR the energy company interests on the Energy Act & Mining Act

I could go on and on.

But the reality here is, people are voting for a personality, not the person with an actual record in the US Congress.

Obamamania is ignoring the voting record and the political alliances of Obama--his votes siding with the Republicans on major issues like those I list above, and his deep ties to Wall Street law firms and
lobbyists.

And he keeps lying about his funding, and misrepresenting his voting record to make himself appear more liberal in order to win the nomination.

If you want to call that "complex" rather than cunning and deceiving, go right ahead.

It won't change the reality of who this guy is, and what he will do if elected.

Be very prepared for the biggest push for the nuke industry since Jimmy Carter.

Be very prepared for an escalation of the war in Afghanistan.

Be very prepared for the wealthy elite to walk away from the housing bubble debacle, the same way they did the S & L debacle of the 80s.

Be very prepared for "energy policy" to become a Wall Street entitlement program for global energy conglomerates to squeeze every penny out of consumers, and destroying what remains of the health and viability of the planet, to get "their money's worth" out of our dwindling finite energy resources through creative Wall Street lawyers rewriting our energy regulations.

Obama will talk a very sweet talk about education, family and religious values, health care for all...while the Wall Street corporate looters finish the country off.

Remember--the wealthy elite don't need democracy. They need to control the government.

The reason why the Wall Street wealthy elite are financially supporting and politically backing Obama instead of McCain?

I don't know--you tell me.
