Let me get this straight... [View all]

Doesn't every candidate for national office offer "stuff" to those they want to win over before the vote?

What is a "Platform" but a collection of wishes and desires gleemed to build a base from those who support the candidate?

But since Barack Obama dares to turn his head away, slightly, I might add, from those self-proclaimed captians of coapitalism he is doing something dastardly and dishonest and, number one with a bullet, Un-American, and so he is villified and pilloried in the eyes of Wall Street and K Street and their toadies in the national media.
