Jefferson and Madison Endorse McCain

On an earlier blog I poked fun at Barack Obama because of his shameless "tax cut" that is really nothing more than an attempt to buy votes. In recent days he has really ratcheted up the sales pitch on television and with his online "calculator." I wonder how far ahead in the polls he would be if he wasn't able to outspend John McCain about 3-to-1...

It's interesting that just at the same time Obama is calling his tax hike on the so-called rich "neighborly," new information on his relatives is coming to light. It seems that some of his African immigrant relatives are living in various levels of extreme poverty not too far from Harvard where Obama became the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review.

If neighborliness is a desirable character attribute, it seems that helping his impoverished relatives would have been a good place to start. The problem with contemporary liberals is they want to do all sorts of "good deeds" with other people's money. Let's take a short walk down memory lane:

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
James Madison

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, part of the vast right-wing conspiracy! Who woulda thunk it?
