Can a Democrat be anything but gutless?
Tain't just Republicans who're stating for the record that B. Hussein Obama is the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. Congressman Dan Boren (D-OK) says the same damn thing:
"Calling him 'the most liberal senator' in Congress, Democratic Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he won't endorse the presumptive Democratic nominee."
Boren tells CBS News that he will vote for Obama at the Democratic Convention and on Election Day this November. This begs a question: If Boren's going to vote for Obama, twice, in the coming months, why won't he endorse the sombitch? Well, I'll tell you ...
Boren represents a rural Oklahoma district that is so culturally conservative, it is often called "Little Dixie." If Boren - whose constituents have a deep affection for God, Guns, and the Good Ol' U.S. of A. (not necessarily in that order) - publicly endorsed a left-wing feller who started going by "Barack" instead of "Barry" for, well, decidedly left-wing purposes, he could count on catching all kinds of hell during his re-election campaign. And he just might find himself looking for another job.
If Boren's willing to vote for Obama, he should be willing to endorse him, too. His reluctance to do so demonstrates a good deal of gutlessness. But, wait ... being gutless is requirement number one when joining up with the Democratic Party, right?!
