Obama has raised taxes 94 times in his infant legislative career in the Illinois and U.S. Senate. What makes you think he will not raise them again???

ACORN is being investigated in more than 10 states right now. Are community activists/NAACP/ ultra left wing liberals starting to pop the cork before the election is over?

Will Obama's first term be marred by extensive Congressional investigations? Will Obama be impeached after 9 months? Will ACORN and other left wing organizations tear apart the democrat party over the next year???

McCain has raised taxes over 400 times in his legislative career in the U.S. Senate. What makes you think he will not raise them again???

I think you got the name wrong, Barack Hussein al-Obama. It's Obamacain.

He's also known as John Barak McObama.

I got it from the same place the OP got his information. Oh that's right, he didn't provide any proof either!

(thanks for this BTW, I was waiting for it)

The corporate elite in this country don't want an honest debate about issues that matter to the average Jane and Joe on the street. Honestly, beyond campaign speeches, what's the diff between the Republicans and Democrats as it relates to public policy for ordinary Americans? Here's a hint: NO DIFFERENCE!

RE Obama's Tax Votes:
I love me some sources: FactCheck.org: Tax Tally Trickery
Cataloging some of these votes isn't cut-and-dried, and the exercise underscores how easily a campaign can spin the opponent's record. In the end, we listed votes on 54 measures under the "for higher taxes" category (and another seven votes in favor of lowering some taxes and increasing others); but even if the RNC used that figure in its claim, we'd have plenty to say about it. As we mentioned, most of those were measures to tax the rich or corporations; many aimed to fund government programs; and most didn’t actually raise taxes in and of themselves.
