Obama's Progressive Credentials Found Lacking


Reasons not to vote for Barack Obama:

Obama supports the death penalty. [via Avedon at The Sideshow]

Obama promotes the rightwing Social Security crisis hysteria.

Obama's suggestion that he can somehow put an end to the cultural/civil war in this divided nation suggests he is niave and inexperienced at best, or supremely arrogant, a possible Lieberman in the making, at worst. He might be all of that.

And then there's the matter of Obama's gay problem.

Most importantly, Obama shows no sign that he is capable of withstanding or fighting the rightwing slime machine.

As if I needed another reason, Tweety is currently gushing over all things Obama. If Chris Matthews adores the Democratic nominee, we are so in trouble.

Avedon has more reasons.
