They empathize, sympathize, want to share our pain, and they say are like us. That is pure hogwash.
Their programs don't help anyone climb out of poverty as they say they will. They pull out the same tired old notes and re-spin them every few years.
And people fall for it everytime by voting for a Democrat. They must like hogwash.
If Michelle Obama thinks she has been one of the downtrodden until now she has only the Democratic Party to blame - I'm sure she has never voted for a white, male, Republican. Those are the wrong classes of people and don't matter - yet.
When Barack wants to talk about policies then I'll listen.
But I'll hold my breath just in case; hogwash stinks.

An Obama egg - S.B. 2433
S.B. 2433 is a nauseatingly liberal idea. It is sponsored by Barack Obama and has only 6 cosponsors (Senators Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, Richard Lugar, Richard Durbin, Chuck Hagel and Robert Menendez) and would create The Global Poverty Act. Think: UN, NATO, taxes, abomination.
Get this, the legislation:
Makes U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the U.N.
Would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7% of GNP on foreign aid or $845 billion over 13 years (in addition to what we spend now).
Requires the President “to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.” The term “Millennium Development Goals” is defined as the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000).
In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning “small arms and light weapons” and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The Millennium Declaration also affirms the U.N. as “the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realize our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development.”
This legislation certainly highlights Mr. Obama's view of our place in the world. He wants "the world" to tax us! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

McCain and the Right: T-R-O-U-B-L-E!
The Bill Cunningham situation is problematic. It has become all too clear that Conservatives hate McCain, don't trust him, and are furious about his #1 position.
The polls are showing that McCain can beat Obama, but not if half of the Republicans stay home. And I think a good number of them will (not half, but too many) since it appears McCain won't say what they want to hear; he can't if he wants to appeal to independents and remain true to himself.
I think he'll have to throw the Right a bone by selecting a true Conservative running mate. Immigration is too high a priority for the Right and McCain's position on it is too liberal for the Right to swallow.
Anyone agree?
