Although many felt that Barack Obama's slip with "Spread the Wealth" was accidental, I am beginning to think it was more cockiness. He hasn't been the only one in recent days to come out of the liberal closet so to speak. Just listen to the words of Democrats making their gleeful rounds on the media circuit.
Barney Frank last week on CNBC said:
I think at this point, there needs to be an immediate increase in spending, and I think this is a time when deficit fear has to take a second, uh, a second seat. I do think this is the time for a very important kind of dose of (unintelligible). Yes, I think later on, there should be tax increases. Speaking, personally, I think there are a lot of rich people out there who can tax at a point down the road to recover some of this money.
This week New Mexico Democrat Jeff Bingaman told a local radio stations the following:
"I would want this station and all stations to have to present a balance perspective and different points of view."
While the fairness doctrine sounds "fair" it's sole purpose is to rid talk radio of such personalities as Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Laura Ingraham. You don't see the Democrats referring to The New York Times, MSNBC, or CNN when they refer to the "Fairness" Doctrine.
While I am sure Liberals will be jumping out of their seats at the chance to silence these conservatives, it should scare the crap out of independents and moderates. You might as well be living in China listening to state run radio. It won't be much different.
There are a few even scarier scenarios that are trickling out today. Even if Obama doesn't take money from your paycheck, he is about to empty your wallet if elected........more on this tonight.

Stacy,
Please accept my apologies for the triple postings.
I found this and thought I would share:
"Voters can block the calls by registering their phone number at StopPoliticalCalls.org."
Personally, I am getting them from both sides of the fence, and can NOT even imagine how bad it must be in battle ground state.

During the 1964 presidential campaign Barry Goldwater stated "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." Soon after he experienced one of the most lopside electoral defeats in American political history.
Hannity, Limbaugh and Ingraham have become the voice of Goldwater. When the history of the 2008 U.S. presidential election is writen it will illustrate how the extreme right faction of the GOP alienated more moderate conservatives and helped create the conditions leading to an Obama landslide victory.
As a Democrat, I will quickly pen a letter to the president, my congressman and senators appealing with them to leave "The Fairness Act" in the attic.
The extreme right is the left's most effective lobby.

Here's the way I see it. For a policical party who supposedly represents "choice," Obama's economic plan definitely takes away the choice in how we spend our own money. I think under his economic plan, we will see a decline in the amount of money given to charity. Instead, the government will take our money and decide for us how they will spread the wealth.
I am all for donating money to chairity, particulary if I can choose the charity. I do not appreciate the liberal voters trying to take that choice from me. It's hard to pay all the bills needed to raise a family. Obama is going to make it that much harder for the middle class.
