RWNJ Conservative Views from Cincinnati

This is from a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview.  Obama is saying outright that wealth should be redistributed.  Unfortunately, the more and more I hear from former interviews, the more I think he’s more of a Socialist than a Democrat (please realize that I’m saying that as a definition of his views, not an inflammatory slur statement).

I’m sorry, but redistribution of wealth should not be a function of a Capitalist country.  Obama’s demeanor in the interview is very matter-of-fact.  He has no doubt in his voice that redistribution of wealth should be done.  I must admit that this is even more frightening than his comments to Joe the Plumber.

On the plus side, he did say that such changes should be made legislatively and not through the courts.  Not very reassuring to me, but at least it’s something positive.

Barbara West of WFTV in Orlando gave a tough interview to Biden yesterday.  She brought up ACORN, Obama’s “spread the wealth” comment, and Biden’s promise that Obama would be challenged by a crisis that would be generated specifically to test Obama early in his Presidency.  West even went so far as to quote Karl Marx, getting a “Are you kidding?” response from Biden.

In response, an interview with Biden’s wife was pulled and the Obama camp sent a letter stating, “This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election.”  Guess they don’t like being asked the questions that many in the public are asking.  Biden certainly did not seem to have clear answers, giving canned answers and attempting to shift the blame to the Bush administration.

My deepest respect to Barbara West and WFTV for asking some real questions to Biden instead of tossing up the feel good softball questions most stations seem to think need to be asked.

Gateway Pundit posted up a reminder of the 2000 election.  In October 2000, Bush trailed Gore in the polls, 51-40.  With the polls being all over the place this year, reliability is in question anyhow.  Reagan even trailed Carter in the polls back in 1980.

McCain cannot be written off in this race, and Obama shouldn’t be picking out the curtains for the Oval Office just yet.

The New York Post is reporting that 13 campaign workers for Obama withdrew their registrations and ballots in Ohio.  It appears that the prosecutor’s kind reminder that temporary residents aren’t allowed to vote in Ohio prompted the withdrawal.  I guess the threat of a felony charge is a good motivator.

It’s a shame to see either side illegally moving votes to try to steal a battleground state.  It will be harder for the Obama camp to separate itself from this like it did with ACORN.  So far I have not seen anything come across the wire for McCain volunteers facing the same issues.

Yesterday, a woman claimed that she was robbed and mutilated after using an ATM in Pittsburgh.  KDKA is reporting that the woman had inconsistencies in her story and eventually admitted to making the story up.  In a way, this is a good thing (that someone didn’t actually perpetrate this act)… in another, it’s absolutely disgusting that the woman, 20-year-old Ashley Todd, made this story up.

Acts like this are what feed blind partisanship.  It does not further anyone’s campaign, and does not move forward the political discussion.

The woman will face charges.  Police have not yet disclosed what the charges will be.
