Suddenly Barack Obama sounds like someone every republican should consider voting for. In the last month he has changed positions on a variety of issues:
• He now supports the second ammendment right to bear arms.
• He now opposes late-term abortion.
• He supports faith-based institutions to deliver public services.
• He now says that he won’t raise Social Security taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. In the primaries he wanted to eliminate the cap. We reported that would make a 62% tax bracket for someone earning a million dollars a year(so why work?).
• He now opposes the Fairness Doctrine for talk radio.
• He now says he will consult with the military before pulling out of Iraq.
He knows that he could not get elected with the positions that he had in the primaries — so he is moving to the center. I’m happy he is seeing reality on Iraq. However, I do believe if elected he will govern from the left — a left leaning congress and senate will insure that.
