No Lie

Sen. Obama says, "We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about."

Hmmm. Okay. Just the truth: You opposed protecting the lives of babies born alive. What you said was "What we are doing here is to create one more burden on women, and I can't support that." Never mind that the baby was born, that the cord was cut, that it was struggling to live. You said let it die.

You want to double the Capital Gains tax. The increasing value of capital is the #1 reason people invest in new businesses, save money, buy houses. It is the hope for profit that drives this economy. And more personally, my retirement depends on capital gains. And you want to tax that activity like it is some kind of social evil, like its gambling, smoking or drinking. You want to suppress job creation, savings, and home ownership? Are you insane?

You want to make college more affordable. How? By using the U.S. tax code to subsidize college tuition. Think about what that means. How is increasing the demand for a college education going to make college more affordable? Have you ever even heard of Adam Smith?

You aren't just wicked, you're stupid, too.
