Harsh words for the Messiah

Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer makes a terrible accusation today against Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
He charges that the sleek, charmer from Chicago is really nothing more than a grasping, ambitious (gasp!)politician.

That, of course, will come as a shock to some people in the Democratic Party and the news media. But the charge is hard to deny as Obama flees the political fringe on the left for the mainstream.
Why the guy is even embracing the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the Second Amendment and, even more shocking, expressing support for the death penalty. Anyone remotely familiar with Obama's personal and political history knows those positions are political contrivances that do not reflect his true feelings.
But a politician does what a politician does. At least, so say Krauthammer. Take a look.

HAHAHAHAHAhahahaha!!! What randyandjoy1 (above) stated TIMES TEN!!!!!

Being a DemocRAT must be MUCH like having Alzhiemers (SORRY Alzhiemers patients and families), they wake EVERY morning to a "new dawn", and NOTHING they said/did in previous days (YEARS) MEANS ANYTHING!!!!

UNFORTUNATELY, as with Alzhiemers patients, ALL around them suffer with the "patient's" LACK of memory and accountability!!

NOT a JOKE, BillD, sometimes the TRUTH hurts, but it is STILL the TRUTH!!!!!

YOU and your ILK are the JOKE, but as you state, NOT FUNNY!!!!!

You, BillD, are the one who is crazy, you accuse me of being under the age of consent in your pitiful diatribes, and now your statement in effect that I am outmoded ("...and who the hell uses the word "ILK" anymore?")

The "ANALOGY": "Being a DemocRAT must be MUCH like having Alzhiemers" was NOT intended as a joke, and NORMAL people would not construe it as being so, ONLY one such as you that is hyper-(in)sensative would try to make that assertion to dsparage those you disagree with!!

YOU BillD, are the PITIFUL one!

BTW (By The Way), BillD,

Have you been saying your prayers lately??, Have you read Larry Elders letter yet to learn a little bit about the history and differences between the DummoCRAPS and the Republican parties? You really should, it is very enlightening!
