Realize that this doesn't bother everybody.
Just about 60% of the population. I think he even voted against limiting partial birth abortion. That would put it above 80%.

No, just aware that McCain's plan to cut gas taxes is a worthless gimmick and that the only solution is alternative energy.
McCain wants to increase drilling, increase alternative energy, and reduce the gas tax. Sounds pretty comprehensive. Obama is against increased production and has no problem with $5 per gallon gasoline. He just says we got to that price "too fast"

He's also in favor of eating roast babies with mint jelly and garlic mashed potatoes. I'm at a loss for words.
No, he wants higher taxes on anyone who has worked hard to build a business, to give more money to people through the "earned income program" who don't pay taxes to begin with. People who don't pay a dime in income tax get thousands of dollars in tax refunds. That makes a lot of sense.

Did I mention he takes his babies with summer squash?.
And he wants to take "excess profits" from oil companies. Which means he'll take earned dividend money from all of the small and larger investers who own stock in energy companies. Oil companies won't suffer. The millions of ordinary citizens who own stock will.

And lower taxes for everybody else, even smallish businesses. Rock on Obama, rock on.
And he'll raise the minimum wage which will put many, many small businesses completely out of business. Eliminating millions of lower paying jobs will do wonders for unemployment, won't it?

Actually he's in favor of pulling troops out of Iraq to try to save Afghanistan. He talks about this quite a lot.
Obama said the surge of troops in Iraq would fail. It has succeeded despite all democrats predicting failure and claiming the war was lost. Obama has not once said we should "win" in Iraq. He only wants to cut and run, and allow the country to fall into civil war.

I don't think I like this strawman the right is attacking. He sounds kind of unlike the person I plan on voting for. I suppose this whole show is a good sign; you usually build a strawman fallacy when you can't completely beat the reality...
We don't need a new straw man. The Obama Scarecrow without a brain is a good enough target.
