  • And soon the Blue Tidal Wave will wash America clean and restore us to our core American values of Truth, Justice, and the American Middle Class way of life.

    Thank God.
  • He's young enough to have been one of the kids who made me eat their boogers on the playground - not the teachers who didn't stop them.

    Well, the illustration of my point is fictional, but you know what I mean.

    The Clinton crime family is closely linked with the Bush crime family, since the second term on Bill.

    Obama?

    He is being groomed by a machine that includes "turncoat Joe" [wordpress.com] - and wants to hide its interest in the sElection, now that talk of a "lobby" has gone mainstream.

    I'd re-watch "Eyes Wide Shut" [netflix.com] and "T [netflix.com]
    • Obama/Lieberman - Good link. All that smooth talking by this guy is going to win a lot of people over. Even I need a reminder every now and then. Maybe I need to re-read my own posts. This election is lost. It's either him or McCain. Absolutely disgusting. Here I was, hoping the internet would actually work. Most depressing.

      Netowrk - one of the best movies ever. But Hollywood had to put up the uber-patriotic "Rocky" to divert attention away and keep it from winning best picture. "Liberal" indeed...

  • Not that that means Hillary is going to concede anytime soon;-) She's got to finish smearing him so she can run against McCain in four years after making Obama look unelectable over the next several months. Maybe I should make up some Hillary/Huckabee buttons for '12?

    • Clinton is once again floating the idea that she'd "be open to running as veep". Ditto with her supporters again pushing the "dream team" nightmare scenario.

      Obama can do better than that.

      • I don't know. There's political expediency, and then there's life insurance. A black President would not be tolerable to a lot of folks, and the only thing worse would probably be Hillary;-)

    they say he needs 25 of 150 'super delegates' to win...and this article says he for sure as 22 super delegates, but the story is he announced his victory... so he possibly has private confirmations from super delegates.

    as far as corruption goes, as they say.. power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    we'll probably never have a corruption free president, one just hopes we have a president with more sense than this last one, who went from budget sur
  • Why do you want Obama for prez? I guess what I'm wondering is, why do you think he'll be good for America? What are a few of his major policy positions that you really like? How much do you think he'll change America? (Or rather, not necessarily how much do you think he'll succeed, but how much do you think he wants to do?)

      Ahh so many questions.....

      I will be the first to admit I have fallen under the spell of his smooth rhetoric; after the last 7 and a half years, it is nice to see someone who doesn't constantly make a bumbling ass of himself. He strikes me as an intelligent, well spoken person who hasn't (yet) submerged himself neck-deep in the cesspit that is Washington (Hillary on the other hand....) I have read a good portion of his Dreams from my Father book, and am pleased with the portrait it paints. He isn't perfect (
      • Hmm. Aside from the Iraqi war issue, I think for the rest of what you said, most of us have moved on from thinking that. I know I certainly started out thinking he was a reasonable and non-partisan guy.

        I may be totally off base here, but an analogous situation may be in how I was when Ross Perot was running. He started off sounding great. And I was thinking this is exactly what this country needs, a businessman not a politician, and an independent who can bring both sides together. But as time went on it wa
    • one side has been screwing things up for a while and it's time for the other side to have a turn. that's my reason.
