Luckily, he doesn't seem to believe anything for long. I mean, he was against NAFTA then kinda for it. He wanted troops out of Iraq and now he's not so sure. He admired Rev Wright and now he thinks he's a bad, bad, man.Khaki Elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042470098012648139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-27875340978831703242008-05-06T22:34:00.000-04:002008-05-06T22:34:00.000-04:00KE, good post.

His scripted speeches aren't even impressive; he just seems to actually believe what he says, as unbelievable as that may be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-90418327281097052452008-05-06T22:26:00.000-04:002008-05-06T22:26:00.000-04:00And, Nikki, the funniest thing to me about Obama's...And, Nikki, the funniest thing to me about Obama's flowery speeches is they only seem so when they're scripted, which is why his last couple of debate performances were so weak.Khaki Elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042470098012648139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-71027770399842875872008-05-06T22:25:00.000-04:002008-05-06T22:25:00.000-04:00Oh, I think taxes are often well intentioned. The ...Oh, I think taxes are often well intentioned. The three biggest issues I have with Democratic tax policies are: 1) Higher taxes do not stimulate the economy nor do they increase the fed's coffers. 2) They never impact the rich alone (e.g., this tax against oil). 3) I'm just against the whole concept of Government redistribution of wealth.Khaki Elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042470098012648139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-21982999273832148242008-05-06T21:22:00.000-04:002008-05-06T21:22:00.000-04:00I have broken down lately and have been reading so...I have broken down lately and have been reading some liberal books just so I could learn why they think the way they do. Yes, to us conservatives (smart thinking, reading, literate, folk) this may seem stupid, but there is some logical thought behind all the taxes. Really. They truly honestly believe that taxes are not a disincentive. <BR/><BR/>By the way, another excellent post.Rick Freahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132949384071592216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918467013889155723.post-3560738470237590282008-05-06T11:23:00.000-04:002008-05-06T11:23:00.000-04:00Great Post Khaki...Obama is all about fluff until ...Great Post Khaki...Obama is all about fluff until you examine the guts. I think a lot of people just "trust" him so much because they feel an emotional connection to a flowery speaker and boom the truth gets out sooner or later...I love blogs they are so informational!!nice job :)NNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506161645223765063noreply@blogger.com
