A vote for Obama reflects a choice of socialism.

What US citizen in their right mind would **** on the graves of our soldiers and families who sacrificed for the freedom we all enjoy.

Obama said to judge him by who he surrounds himself with. Taking him at his word we see who he is and what he represents. A Mao Christmas tree ornament in the whitehouse was one step too far. Hiring the communist Van Jones and then dumping him after public pressure only to appear elsewhere in support of the administration tells us which choice to make.
Why do socialists and lefties think Obama is too conservative?

Obama - inept inexperienced wishy washy pushover who is eager to please

Tea party - Theocratic fundamentalist who wants to erode all workers rights and feels that the middle class don't pay enough in taxes


I'll go with Obama

Well Obama is a pragmatist and a single person whereas the Tea Party is just a loosely held together coalition of different organizations that make up the grass roots part of the Republican party. They constantly contradict themselves and are largely hypocrites.

I'd go with Obama. He inherited the worst situation of any president in close to 100 years.

it is a fiscal conservative group but has been branded with a social agenda which it does not have.
That's a lot of crap. Fiscal conservatives would say to cut defense spending, social security, prescription drugs and Medicare. The Tea Party doesn't advocate that because most of them have their mits out collecting large sums of money from the government.

Quote:
That includes most entitlements, cutting government salaries, getting rid of the unions, ending generational welfare, sending the illegals packing.
By the way, outside of entitlements, doing all of that would do next to nothing in reducing the deficit. The tea baggers aren't interested in reducing entitlements. People who actually have jobs don't have time to go to constant rallies.

For those who think that the Tea Party are a bunch of fiscal conservatives, you might want to ask yourself why they would look to Sarah Palin for leadership when she was in favor of huge pork spending projects.

The TP lecturing people on fiscal conservatism is like a 22 year old single mom with 3 kids from 3 different dads trying to lecture people about birth control.

Exactly. The far left thinks he's conservative and the far right thinks he's too liberal. That's good enough for me to like him.

That's basically how I would classify Obama. Very centrist/center-right. Just about where most of the Democratic Party is at.

Reason is because Obama is eager to please and is wishy washy. That being said, I'll pick him over any tea party nutcase. Better a middle of the road guy who doesn't want to offend anyone that some cuckoo case who wants a theocracy and feels that the USA has engaged in some vast conspiracy to elect a Communist Muslim.

The Constitution prescribes an economic system for the US?
