Do you support this stuff as well, you do vote for him don't you? He voted against filtering pornography on school and library computers and he voted for sex education for kindergarten children through the 5th grade. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Defends Partial-birth Abortion Junior U.S. Senator from Illinois Donna H. Davey, Yahoo! Contributor Network Oct 24, 2006 voices.yahoo.com As transparently biased as the MSM is, it should raise flags when they ooh and ahh (24/7) over a politician, who, quite clearly, is also a Democrat with socialist views and a strong supporter of pro-abortion legislation, particularly the gruesome partial-birth abortion. I hope that the American people are not blinded by the continual media hype, and make an opinion based on the issues instead of the smooth talking, decent looks, and over-all charm. I've been disappointed to hear even friends of mine mention that simply because Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. speaks well and looks good, that he would make the perfect leader, but when asked what they know about what he stands for, not one of them could give an answer. Apparently, to many, all it takes is appearance and performance, never mind actual accomplishments or experience. But since I've brought up accomplishments, let me list a few measures that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. backs. He sponsored S.CON.RES.53: A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that any effort to impose photo identification requirements for voting should be rejected. In 1999 he was the only Illinois State Senator to vote against a bill barring early release for (criminal) sex offenders. He voted against filtering pornography on school and library computers and he voted for sex education for kindergarten children through the 5th grade. Also, in 2001, he voted "present" on a bill to keep pornographic book and video stores and strip clubs from setting up within 1,000 feet of schools and churches. Just as unsettling is his voting record on abortion. Twice, Obama voted against bills prohibiting tax funding of abortions. In February 2004, his wife, Michelle, sent out a fundraising letter, which actually stated her concern over the rise of conservatism in the Country, and that the 'so-called' partial-birth abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that should be protected. In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA (Born Alive Infants Protection Act) was sent, Obama prevented it from even getting a hearing. BAIPA, by the way, stated that all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted. In 2001, he voted "present" on a bill to notify parents when their minor children seek an abortion. He voted against a cloning ban in 2000, but voted for it in 2001. In 1997, Obama twice voted "present" on an Illinois partial-birth abortion ban. For all that he is polished on the surface, his stand on the defenseless seems cold to the core and while I'm able to look past a politician personally, I strongly disapprove of what Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. stands for.
