South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint Is 1,000% Right About Opposing Demagogue Obama

From day one slick-tongued Obama has said one thing and done precisely the opposite. He virulently opposed Bush's Iraq troop surge which he now (tacitly) without the guts to admit his mistake) supports--even extending the original United Stated withdrawal schedule. From day one he critized the Afganazan war, but now has introduced his own Bush-type-policy troop surge. From day one Obama promised a "new type of politics."

He lied, in fact, practicing traditional one-party Washington politics without any genuine effort to reach across the aisle to reach a bipartisqan consenous like Bush in passing his wonderful Education No Child Left Behind legislation. He continues to believe the supposed power of his his nieve prose, prancing around the world at taxpayer expense, (whining about what a bad actor the United States was under his predesessor) will constructively entice North Korea and Iran to give up their diasterous nucular warhead delievery designs.

How in gawd's name were there so many especially young people, many partially or even undergraduate educated, who would buy into such bull. And how were there so many of us seniors who, supposedly with a measure of sane sense, have voted for the charlatan/buy into Obama's idea of of any increased 38-million additional healthcare enrollees (including at least 14-million illegals freeloaders who do not contribute one dime to the cost of United States healthcare costs?

I agree with Arizona's pending legislation. If an illegal sneaks across the border to have a baby delievered at United States healthcare expense, deliver tha baby and ship the lot back to their homeland. I greaty resent the idea of rewarding illegal immigriants, whether that behavior results in a baby or not born, on Unite States soil. I believe such a baby should be a resident of subject to the healthcare provisions of the illegal immigrant's mome country, no freeloading on the American taxpays who already have plenty enought healthcare payments to pay for with the additional payment illegals. If you get down into the tall weeds of extreme-left-wing Pelosi's preferred program,she wants all illegals covered, for her voter political sad purposes. She has no more conscionce about this subject than demanding an outrageouswly expensive non-stop military large jet fly her home to ultra-liberal San Francisco each week instead of accepting one-refulling-stop military jet that would cost one-quarter of the cost to taxpayers.

Pelosi and Obama are ultra-leftist kissing cousine. American people are beginning to catch on to their scams; there ain't no free ridess. Obama promised to veto any pork bills arriving on his desk; he lied. The "stimulus" bill was chock full of pork for his various voting constiguencies. He promised to put all "non emergency" bills on the internet for at least three days so the Ameroican people could analize them. , the most "transparent administration in history." Again, he lied.
