That to me is the equivalent to linking to the FOX News forums.
One of the only good things from that website is the political images.
These links are not working.

Look at the record:
- Obama voted for funding the war
- Obama voted for supporting the Patriot act
- Obama doesn't offer any change

That's not unlike any other Republican canidate besides Ron Paul? We both have Ron Paul as our first choice, I don't think there's any doubt in that. However he has already stated that if he does not receive the Republican nomination he will not run as an independent. I'm looking for second choices, I think you should do the same.
That was actually a good read despite some bits of hypothetical situations and this comment which was ridiculous in my opinion:
Quote:
o Ensure Freedom to Unionize: Obama believes that workers should have the freedom to choose whether to join a union without harassment or intimidation from their employers. Obama cosponsored and is strong advocate for the Employee Free Choice Act, a bipartisan effort to assure that workers can exercise their right to organize. He will continue to fight for EFCA’s passage and sign it into law.
o Fight Attacks on Workers’ Right to Organize: Obama has fought the Bush National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) efforts to strip workers of their right to organize. He is a cosponsor of legislation to overturn the NLRB’s “Kentucky River” decisions classifying hundreds of thousands of nurses, construction, and professional workers as “supervisors” who are not protected by federal labor laws.
o Protect Striking Workers: Obama supports the right of workers to bargain collectively and strike if necessary. He will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers, so workers can stand up for themselves without worrying about losing their livelihoods.
Let me ask you this. What would happen if the soldier’s in Iraq decided to go on strike? Would Obama support that? If a service is deemed necessary by the state, then it might be a threat to security to allow strikes.
Ultimately the way to solve this, is for the government to minimize the services it provides. Put as much as can be into the private sector. But, yes, I’m sorry, if you work for the government, and your job is a security interest, you can’t strike. Be realistic here.

First off, using an example of soldiers striking? That's absurd and will not happen. Secondly "If a service is deemed necessary by the state, then it might be a threat to security to allow strikes."? What the fuck, does that sound like an excerpt of the communist manifesto to anyone else? Who says what constitutes a job which is a security interest?

Obama voted for the Patriot Act....

You say it like Thompson wouldn't expand on it and Romney didn't vote for it. Romney has even considered himself an extension of George W. Bush.
