16. Obama's idea of voting to put Criminals in Charge and Suppressing People's Rights
--Obama also voted to confirm John Negroponte as Director of National Intelligence, despite Negroponte's involvement in Iran-Contra and other situations that clearly raise questions about his ethics and discretion.

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00107

---Obama also voted for a bill to limit citizens rights to seek legal redress against abusive corporations. During the bankruptcy debate, he helped vote down a Democratic amendment to cap the abusive interest rates credit card companies could charge. And now, Obama cast a key procedural vote in support of President Bush's right-wing judges.

5. You know, should your candidate win the nomination

you might want to rethink these petty insulting postings. You might need us to get your candidate elected.

7. Is "Chimpy's War"
on the ballot in Chappaqua, New York?

Voting for that would surely give Hillary the most pleasure.
