For the last few days I've heard so many rants from people who gladly wear the badge of raging liberal that McCain is “doing politics as usual”.  They accuse him of lying about Obama's voting record (that's when he ever votes).  They also accuse the GOP of only garnering support because of fear tactics.  The latest being about the campaign ad which references Senate Bill 99 from the Illinois senate in 2003. They claim the ad makes it look like Obama wants to teach kids in kindergarten about sex.  The Obama campaign contends it is completely false and that the bill was about teaching the Illinois youth about "stranger danger" and how to protect themselves from pedophiles. 

Truthfully, when I initially saw the ad, I didn't get scared that he would try and have sex ed in grade school, but it showed me that Obama has a completely different value system than I do. I want kindergarten students to learn how to read and write and do arithmetic. I do not want them to learn about sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, or that Danny has two daddy’s or anything like that. Forgive me, but most parents send their children to school to learn.  Developmentally speaking, a five-year-old should learn the names of their body parts from their parents, not the various ways to use a condom to prevent herpes.   I know, there are some parents who are absent and do not see their role as the primary educator of their children--another topic. This was my view of the campaign ad. My liberal associates berated me for being afraid and manipulated. The condescension is unbelievable. 

The most recent proof they have shown me to display how much I’ve been snookered in by the “establishment” and “I’m too stupid to realize anything” is this: they posted an MSNBC clip of the Jed Report showing how Ari Melber attacks one of the “lying Republicans”.  He and the reporter attack Republican strategist Brad Blakeman for the ad and how it shows that they are lying and spreading fear propaganda to the mindless Americans. They are there to defend Obama’s voting honor that he didn’t vote to teach kindergarten students to have sex, but to teach kids about “stranger danger”. Blakeman was caught off guard and so he stumbled a bit. The initial premise of the show was the fact that both Obama and McCain were working together on the memorial of September 11th.  

Finally, I consulted google about this Senate Bill 99. I really do love google. You can see the full text of the actual Illinois General Assembly document. You can also see others who were outraged by the “lies” of John McCain like Planned Parenthood.

Barack Obama was not a co-sponsor or writer of the bill. He did support the bill while sitting as the Chairperson of the Health and Human Services Committee.   A parent could have their child “opt-out”, which is code word for sending your student to the library or principals office while they indoctrinate the others.   Your child could then learn all about it later at lunch.  The Obama campaign wants Americans to believe that the ad is a complete fabrication and the bill was taken out of context. The bill in question IS about sex education for kindergarten (to 12th grade) including information on sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, and more.

I started to think, is this one of the instances where Obama voted for it by mistake? Information exists that Obama mis-voted at least five times—he “pushed the wrong button”. Could this be one of those instances? He clearly believes that his good name is being tarnished as a peddler for child porn or something, since he really only wanted kindergarteners to learn of “stranger danger”. But the fact remains that the bill is a lot more than that.  

Does the entire Obama campaign still contend that the bill was only about stranger danger and not comprehensive sex education? Are the record keepers of the Illinois Legislature liars too? Who else is lying about this conspiracy which is trying to tarnish the reputation of the fair senator of Illinois? Is Obama lying or is he inept? Neither is acceptable to me. Please research the Illinois Senate Bill 99 from 2003 and decide for yourself.
