Obama The Post-Partisan Candidate?
How can you be the “post partisan” candidate who eschews party lines when you vote with your political party 100% of the time?
[Obama is] for a change of basically everything President Bush stands for. Yet even after 19 months on the campaign trail and hundreds of millions spent, it’s hard to say exactly how his change would manifest itself. To be sure, Obama’s been trying to keep the focus on middle-class tax cuts, expanded health care and an end to the war in Iraq. But it’s also clear that he hasn’t been able to stay on offense. John McCain has been trying to force Obama into a debate not about who’s the “change” candidate, but who’s the “maverick.” For if Obama is voting with his fellow Democrats almost 100 percent of the time in the Senate (oh, and don’t forget he was designated most liberal by National Journal), is he really a guy who’s gonna change anything?
Obama’s not a “change” candidate. Obama’s not a “new politics” candidate. He’s a far-left liberal who has had to quit the church he attended for 20 years and pretend to be someone he’s not in order to get elected.
