Here's a few of Obama's flip-flops. Unfortunately, I don't get my news from Jon Stewart, so rather than being funny, they're really rather sad.

• After vowing to turn down private fundraising and take public financing, he has now refused public money.

• Once he threatened to filibuster a bill to protect telephone companies from liability for their cooperation with national security wiretaps; now he has voted for the legislation.

• Turning his back on a lifetime of support for gun control, he now recognizes a Second Amendment right to bear arms in the wake of the Supreme Court decision.

• Formerly, he told the Israeli lobby that he favored an undivided Jerusalem. Now he says he didn't mean it.

• From a 100 percent pro-choice position, he now has migrated to expressing doubts about allowing partial-birth abortions.

• For the first time, he now speaks highly of using church-based institutions to deliver public services to the poor.

• Having based his entire campaign on withdrawal from Iraq, he now pledges to consult with the military first.

• During the primary, he backed merit pay for teachers -- but before the union a few weeks ago, he opposed it.

• After specifically saying in the primaries that he disagreed with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-N.Y.) proposal to impose Social Security taxes on income over $200,000 and wanted to tax all income, he has now adopted the Clinton position.

Here's a quick list of topics Obama has flip-flopped on:

1) Off-shore drilling,
2) Withdrawal from Iraq based on military judgement
3) Campaign finance reform
4) Telecom accountability (FISA),
5) NAFTA renegotiation
6) Gun control
7) Late-term abortion
8) Raising the cap on social security taxes
9) Merit pay for teachers
10) Jeremiah Wright
11) His own grandmother.

Seems to me that any candidate that sells out on all of the issues his base believes in simply to attract the centrist vote is a VERY ORDINARY candidate. Nothing new here at all. Just the same old same old. It's now wonder McCain/Palin have taken the lead in the polls. At least they're honest.

I think it's far more likely that Obama's long list of flip-flops are likely to take their toll than Palin's. Have you looked at the polls lately?

USA Today: McCain 50% - Obama 46%
Gallup: McCain 48% - Obama 45%
Zogby: McCain 49% - Obama 45%

It's the beginning of the end for Obama. He will drop like a rock in October -- much the way Dukakis did. Only Obambi will look even sillier.

You know what's going to be even funnier? Watching Pitbull Palin clean Blowhard Joe's clock in the October 2nd debate. That's is, of course, if America's favorite plagiarist hasn't sunk himself by then with that incurable case of foot-in-mouth disease of his. Did you hear what he said a few days ago? He told supporters that if he and The Chosen One get into office, they'll try Bush for "war crimes." Oh, yeah, way to unite the country, fellas! Gosh, I wonder why they're sinking in the polls. Hmmm... whatever could it be?

Speaking of hypocrites, this from the Washington Post:

"MSNBC is removing Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as the anchors of live political events, bowing to growing criticism that they are too opinionated to be seen as neutral in the heat of the presidential campaign."

Finally, MSNBC itself has been shamed into admitting how biased these two morons are. Good riddance, boys! Don't let the door smack you in the butt!

I think the fact that Governor Palin's incredible acceptance speech attracted higher viewership than Obama's let's-promise-everything-without-explaining-how-we'll-pay-for-it convention speech says it all. You don't have to be able to read the tea leaves to know where this country is headed. Just look at the polls. To quote one of my favorite words from President Bush, I hope the dummocrats continue to "misunderestimate" the power of Palin.

What is up with these guys? It's nice to know that you are tickling them where it counts. You must be hitting some right chords somewhere. Keep telling the truth and letting the yahoos howl their lonesome cries of ignorance.
