John McCain Calls Barack Obama a “SOCIALIST?”
Posted by: Flap in Barack Obama, John McCain, President 2008
Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain (R-AZ) addresses the audience about electric vehicles during a campaign stop at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan July 18, 2008.
Well, sort of.
He also said Obama had the “most extreme” record in the Senate.
Asked later if he thought Obama was an extremist, McCain said: “His voting record … is more to the left than the announced socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont.”
Does McCain think Obama is a socialist? “I don’t know. All I know is his voting record, and that’s what people usually judge their elected representatives by.”
The video is here (around 2:35)
Team McCain should take the opportunity with Obama leaving America to campaign abroad (sorry, partake in a “fact finding” mission) to pound Obama on domestic issue contrasts.
The fact is that Obama has a very left-wing voting record – the most left leaning of ANY Senator.
