I know Sean Penn isn't talking about abortion here so what the heck is his problem with Obama?
”I don't have a candidate I'm supporting and I'm certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring,” he said, but went on to accuse him of a “phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional” voting record.BTW, I agree with Penn here (I never thought I would ever say that!) that Obama is going to disappoint as a president. He's positioning himself as a moderate but it's abundantly clear from his voting record and his wife's speeches that he's not. And those Obamacans think that he wouldn't be stupid enough to pull out of Iraq no matter what the situation on the ground will be disappointed when he does and if he doesn't the left will have a cow. Since he's empty of substance and full of soaring rhetoric of bipartisanship, it's easy to see that when he governs as a extreme lefty his moderates and conservatives will see what we've been trying to say for the past year. Or maybe I'm wrong it and it will look like this :-)”I hope that he will understand, if he is the nominee, the degree of disillusionment that will happen if he doesn't become a greater man than he will ever be,” Penn said. “This is the most important election, certainly in my lifetime, and maybe ever.”

What? You think that's bashing? How is it bashing to tell the truth? :-)
the proof is in the pudding, sweetie, so put some facts where your mouth is:
"it's abundantly clear from his voting record and his wife's speeches that he's not"
1. show us this abundance (you claim that he has no experience, no record to be judged by... which is it?) of his voting record where he is outside of the mainstream of american opinion.
2. explain how his wife's speeches will be running the country, and when you're done with that fairy tale, show us the abundance of her speeches that put barack outside of american opinion.
"stupid enough to pull out of Iraq no matter what the situation on the ground"
for you warmongering righties, there's no situation on the ground that would warrant pulling out of iraq. and yet the majority of americans know that bush made the mistake of going in in the first place, and see nothing but his blunders in there since, and want us out of iraq now.
"empty of substance and full of soaring rhetoric"
based upon what? your omniscience again? your overwhelming knowledge? or did you borrow mccain's crystal ball (which he used to foresee that the iraq quagmire will end in 2013 - one hundred years fly when you're having fun)?
"will see what we've been trying to say for the past year"
all i've heard from righties for the past year is that:
1. obama is a radical muslim and you don't want one of those in the white house
2. obama doesn't hold his hand over his heart during the pledge [the star spangled banner, if you were going to be honest] therefore he hates his country
3. obama hates his country because he doesn't wear a ridiculous lapel pin
4. obama will take away your guns, steal all of your money and give it all to terrorists
5. obama is the plague
6. obama is a racist
7. obama will reach in, elbow deep, to personally rip the fetuses from women's wombs
yadda yadda
you've got nothing but lies and fearmongering and mclame has nothing better to offer. the only people that you will convince are the gullible ones who already weren't going to vote for a democrat. i'm guessing that's the same few 'R' branded diehards that are still treading water in the pool that bush whizzed in.
"show us this abundance"
Go listen to her speech that's posted at Hugh Hewitt. It will be pretty obvious then. As for his voting record, you are perfectly capable of checking that yourself, the records are available. I think that the fact that he bet a socialist for most liberal Senator speaks for itself.
Remember, politicians join at some point during their education, a debate club. The whole purpose of this club is to train them to represent any side of an issue. The more convincing they are the better. So what does that mean? Well, they learn to lie! They will say anything, they think you want to hear, to get elected. Then once in they all go where the money is. You will not find an honest politician anywhere as long as we permit them to accept outside money from lobbyist. What we need to do is make a law, where their pay is reduced by the amount they are given by lobbyist. This putting more money in the budget. What other job is there, that you can accept any money for leaning towards a third parties company? They are all crooks.
With that said, I would rather put my vote behind someone who has given so much to this country already!
The war! Everyone seems to badger bush for this war. Remember, he did not start this, he did not want this. It was thrown at him on sept, 11, 2001 just as it was thrown at the rest of us. Since then what lives in the us have not been effected by the terrorists? We all have to go through far more security in our daily lives and travels. If anything, we should put more force behind our troops and really finish the job.
"As for his voting record, you are perfectly capable of checking that yourself, the records are available."
yes, i am very well aware of his voting record. that's why i support him.
you want it both ways, don't you. what's it going to be, people? he's an unknown, yet he's a known liberal? my oh my, you have the dizzying intellect of your war-blunderer, rummie!
what???
abundance is one speech? surely you can do better. you'll have to post the transcript here, because i don't know what speech you're referring to and i will not give hewitt credibility by visiting his site.
you've done nothing to prove your point just a lot of talk and your misinformed partisan opinion. you can say what you want, but obama is more inline with mainstream american thinking than you are.
