To sin tax or not to sin tax
Your entire post does nothing but reinforce Alpert's point. None of the claims you made are actually true (except that Obama favors free voter rights, which I'm pretty sure all Americans except you would also favor. Do you think they should be for sale?). Every single assertion in your whole post is false, so what does that say about you and your preferred party?
Obama doesn't advocate free healthcare. He advocates allowing people to buy into the healthcare that government employees have. That healthcare has copays and deductibles just like private HMOs do.
Obama has never advocated free housing.
Obama has never advocated an extension free food beyond the food stamps program which has existed since the 1960's, which John McCain also supports.
Obama supports a path to citizenship, but not a free one. McCain's immigration plan is essentially identical to Obama's.
Obama does not support extending voting rights to non-citizens. He does not have a position on voter rights for criminals, because that has always been a state issue. Most states have always returned voting rights to convicts after their sentence is up. Obama does not support voting rights for currently incarcerated felons.
Obama does not support free abortions. He does however support the right to choose to have one, just like 70% of the rest of the citizens of this country.
Obama does support incentives for and investments into renewable energy sources. John McCain also does. Obama does not support subsidies for oil producers. John McCain does.
Obama is campaigning on issues and policies. McCain is campaigning on blatant lies about Obama (many of which you are parroting here.) McCain has now shackled himself to Sarah Palin in hopes of reaping the benefits of her substanceless charisma.
Rev Wright is not an America-hater and the six second clip you've seen of him does not make him one. John McCain and Sarah Palin also associate with controversial religious figures and I don't hold them any more responsible for that than I do Obama.
I can only assume you're referring to William Ayers as Obama's "terrorist connection." Obama's only connection to Ayers is through a pair of boards of directors that both sat on at the University of Chicago. Obama has never advocated any of Ayers positions or methods.
I've refuted your dimwitted charges in detail but in reality you're the one making these wild claims about Obama and as such its your responsibility to provide some shred of proof that they're true. I'll give you a hint: There is none, because they're not. They're lies.
