During the first presidential debate, McCain accused Obama of a lack of bipartisanship:
Sen. Obama has the most liberal voting record in the US Senate. It is hard to reach across the aisle from that far to the left.
Yet the RNC's latest attack on Obama clearly proves otherwise:
Obama Plans To Implement Legislation That Would "Triple Non-Military Aid To The Pakistani People." Obama: "It's time to strengthen stability by standing up for the aspirations of the Pakistani people. That's why I'm cosponsoring a bill with Joe Biden and Richard Lugar to triple non-military aid to the Pakistani people and to sustain it for a decade, while ensuring that the military assistance we do provide is used to take the fight to the Taliban and al Qaeda." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks On Iraq And National Security, Washington, DC, 7/15/08)
Obama Would Implement The Lugar-Obama Legislation To Crack Down On The Smuggling Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction. "[Obama] also will fully implement the Lugar-Obama legislation to help our allies detect and stop the smuggling of weapons of mass destruction throughout the world." (Obama For America, "Barack Obama: The War We Need To Win," www.barackobama.com, Accessed 3/3/08)
That's two bills in which Obama is working with Sen. Dick Lugar, including one in which both are the title sponsors. The RNC may have forgotten this, but Lugar is a Republican.
So not only does the Republican Party have a problem with funding Pakistan's fight against Al-Qaida, and not only does it think that tracking down and securing rogue nukes is a waste of taxpayer money, but it also admits that Obama actually does work in a bipartisan fashion on an agenda the rest of America actually believes in.
