The Brand New Respectful Presidential Campaign Thread

How about a stiff slap upside the head of Obama?????

Cool!!! I posted twice without meaning to!!!Maybe one post should be for Shokk who enjoys straddling the fence and playing both sides!

Better you than me! I have no patience for her kind. I'm too busy polluting the world by working for an airline. I guess she doesn't pollute at all?

You may want to find out her take on how the cows grazing on land that used to hold trees impacts the GLOBAL (that would be the entire Earth's) environment when the ethanol from the cows (again, due to OVERCONSUMPTION of meat) affects that area and possibly areas beyong that farm/grazing land. 

"for her kind".......let's see my kind..........jeez Jaybird you must mean tolerate, kind, rational, sober.........hmmmmmm........Shokk

Anneshirley she did look good and her speach was a bit inspiring even for a Republican gal............I am up early and the morning "bias media" is pi$$ed.........Anneshirley did you see Terry McCullough (sp) talking to Chris Matthews last night it was either just before the speech or just after.........Terry pinned Matthew to the ground for being so freaking bias......he so had it coming..........Shokk

The honor system keeps delegates pledged to her or him for at least the first round of voting at the convention.  That's what is so great about conventions, any thing can happen.  It is usual that the delegates honor their pledge. So we shouldn't get our hopes up.

There's no law they're bound to though. I think that's the real fear of having this go to the convention.  Will his delegates stay in line after all that's come out?

Yes, I did hear it!  And much worse.  I loved Terry (whatever his last name is) dueling with Matthews.  He was particularly good when Matthews was talking about his sister-in-law being a Hillary fan; he immediately jumped in and said, "well tell her to send Hillary some money."  He's quick. 

And the two of them did go at it a bit last night and Terry won.  

Just received an email from a friend that I urged last night to send Hillary some money.  She sent $100; now I'm embarrassed to tell her I just sent $25.00.  But if any of you ladies have a few extra dollars hanging around, please send her something--anything--just to keep her in the race.  I'd love to see all their faces if she actually gets the nomination.  

The two that got me really going last night: One commentator (big Obama fan) who said to the effect, "we're letting her stay in the race."  A Hillary commentator jumped on it, paraphrasing "yes, let the little lady stay in the race."  There was also an Obama supporter--congressman, I believe--who said something similar.  "We're letting her stay in the race."  They are so condescending, and it just makes me more and more angry.  Are they actually so stupid that they don't know that it makes people like me less and less likely to support Obama! 

Yep-I sent Hillary another donation. Very upset at James Carville seemingly throwing in the towel.

"I still hear some dogs barking," Carville said, according to The State newspaper. "I'm for Senator Clinton, but I think the great likelihood is that Obama will be the nominee."

PS- Hillary just gained a Superdelegate

"Can't vote for McCain who is anti-choice, pro staying in Iraq and will do nothing about health care.  He also has to have made some 'deals with the devil' to have the support he has from the Bush bunch ...  and is 'pandering as hard and fast as he can' to those in the Republican base that he used to voice disagreement with.  I don't see him as a maverick anymore ... but as someone who has sold out to get this chance. "

Hey Shokk, ---Did you know you were being pandered to by McCain lately? LOL

I don't think this crew has any idea why McCain is so distrusted by conservatives!-----

Now I don't think McCain has to be worried about being endorsed by the NARAL anytime soon, in fact, they just endorsed Obama which surprised Hillary.

But I truly think that Roe vs Wade will not be overturned---What you will not have with McCain is an activist court.

I believe McCain will have to seriously address Health-care which is not as easy as the candidates would have you believe.  Opening up the same plan available to federal employees may be a workable idea.

It will truly take someone who can work across the aisle realizing that between Medicare and the Part D prescription program (which is in big trouble) the money isn't there so there will be no quick overnight fix.  I think both Hillary and McCain have records that show they can work across party lines.

PS-Off course Soros is pulling the strings. He's about to finally get what he's wanted for years--Buying the US Presidency---

I'm a real meany.  I will not send money to any of the candidates.  They have a helluva lot more $$ than I do.  Did I hear that Hillary has spent $20,000,000 of her own money...hubby can give more speeches and make more millions. LOL

She really looked great last night.  Her hair was beautiful.  Looked like she had a few more highlights put in.  It was so shiny.

She absolutely should NOT drop out.  Huckabee didn't.

Shirley

I'm coming out of the closet.  I do not like Edwards.  Okay, I've done it! 

Shirley I know there are a lot of Edwards fans here but I have never liked him.........Shokk

So, maybe I'll send some more money in a few days.  You all inspire me. 

Very disappointed about Edwards but I agree that he wants to be at the goody table so had to jump in now.

I was never one of those people looking for a communist under every bed, but I have to wonder how Obama could have gotten this campaign together without a godfather.  It will come out eventually but too late, I fear, for Hillary. 

What I find ironic in all of this is that supposedly the educated are voting for Obama and those without college educations making under fifty thousand are voting for Hillary.  That says a whole lot, I think, about our educated populace--following along like a bunch of lemmings, whereas the supposed less educated can at least make judgments for themselves, without following the MSNBC crowd.
