”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.What the hell is Sean Penn saying? Obama's ultra liberal voting record is unconstitutional?
Penn Continued:
”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.”
This is the active threat from the far left. They are frustrated as hell with congressional failure to implement their agenda, particularly on the war. If Obama thinks he is going to do the same thing, appeal to the left to get elected then acting realistic he has another think coming.
There is a great risk here that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for the Democrats as well as the country on the whole. If he goes with the far left he will alienate the center and right -- the majority of the country. If he doesn't go with the far left he will alienate them causing them to become even more vocally radical.
Remember, the only Democrat elected to the White House in the last three decades is the candidate that chose the moderate middle ground (and never achieved 50 % of the popular vote). If Obama is picked it will be for the reason Carter was picked, and most likely with the same results.
