Obama support

[invisible trousers]

Obama's gonna start grilling Hillary on secrecy. This should be pretty exciting

 

[WiredSpirit]

So if you live in a city or region largely ignored by presidential candidates, would you go see Hillary speak if she came to your town? Even if you're a strong Obama supporter?

 

[invisible trousers]

Absolutely, for the sheer spectacle of watching her campaign.

Alright, looks like I get to see her Thursday.

I went to see Bill, but I don't know if I could handle Hillary. Most of her stump speech is on the attack, even when she's touting her own record she attacks Obama by implication, saying that he couldn't do what she wants to do, and couldn't do what she's done (though she never really explains what her "experience" is)

When you see people applauding and agreeing, it will make you upset, and you will be struck by the depths of her dishonesty, and her willingness to make ANYTHING political

I drove to the rally at a high school straight after work. I got there about 3:30 and I line had already formed for about 3 blocks. When the line started moving I noticed between houses the line had wrapped clear around the block. Its hard to say if she was late, because nobody seemed to know when it was supposed to start, but doors opened at 5 and the school band and concert choir kept everybody entertained. Later on, the senior class president addressed the crowd and then the state campaign manager, mayor, senator Evan Bayh and Hillary came out at the same time. They introduced each other in that order then Hillary spoke for about 45 minutes. She did not attack Obama in any way and said she respected and admired John McCain but that he is wrong on Iraq. I was very impressed with how many supporters she had in this very conservative state. While waiting in line there were two anti-Hillary protesters, one had a sign that said "feminazi, jezabel, etc." He seemed angry. A woman in front of me started yelling at him and he started yelling back. A bit further up the line a little kid ran out and ripped his sign and everyone started cheering. The other guy just had a sign that read "don't vote for Hillary" and was very far away. He was on a church's property and I think they made him leave. There were also a lot of Ron Paul supporters, which is common here since the Liberty Dollar thing. I don't really consider them protesters because they just had a truck driving around with a billboard on the back and a few people across the street standing with a sign and handing out fliers.

I was very impressed with how interactive Hillary was and suprised at the enthusiasm of the crowd. In all, according to the news, there were about 3,500 in the gym and 3,000 others in overflow rooms. I saw on the news afterwards that she stayed and visited with the people in the overflow rooms. Both hers and Obama's campaigns have announced they will be opening campaign offices here, which I'm pretty excited about because that type of thing doesn't happen in Indiana, and especially not in this town.

One other point, I have a Obama bumper sticker on my car and I was still allowed in and although we did have to fill out information cards which gave us the option of pledging support to her, they were not looked at and everyone was allowed in.

There were also a lot of Clinton/Bayh signs suggesting who she should choose as a running mate. If she were to get the nomination, although I still support Obama, but chose Bayh for a running mate that would seal the deal for me. Interestingly enough, our other senator, Republican Richard Lugar is said to be helping Obama with foreign policy matters.

I just read where Gov. Bill Richardson has now endorsed Obama.

Hillary stealing the nomination will be death to the Democratic party. I think all the remaining superdelegates will begin to understand that more and more very shortly.

HOLLA

The various polls agree. E.g., the Rasmussen poll has Obama ahead 48 to 42 as of today:

I think this is mainly due to people beginning to realize just how ethnically challenged the Clinton duo really is. The Bosnian lie just can't be sweep under the rug.

BTW, I just found the best layout of Obama's policies yet:

One may agree with Obama policies or one may disagree with Obama's policies, but the idea that Obama is just an empty suit like, say, McCain is obviously hogwash produced by ignorant Obama haters.

I don't know if the story is true or just a joke - but if it is true then it is hilarious.

You know, I used to be for Hillary but I am finding myself increasingly in support of Obama now.

Go Barack Obama!

I think this guy will end the war in Iraq and make health care affordable for all, he has got my vote!

Ditto. Plus the facts that

1. Obama has never bear-hugged George Bush.

2. Obama has not flip flopped on every major political issue in the last 18 months - go to youtube and put "McCain flip flops" in search.

3. Obama doesn't have an uncontrolled anger problem that causes him to drop the F-bomb on various and sundry people who p**s him off - go to youtube and put "McCain angry" in the search.

and

4. McCain has had three different kinds of cancer and takes six prescription drugs. His medical records for the last 8 years total 1,200 pages. Obama is in perfect health (e.g., b.p. 90/60 and resting heart rate of 60) and his medical records for the last 26 years total .... ONE... page.

WooHoo. A place where it's OK for a Christian to be a Democrat and support our candidate! I've searched several of the larger forums, but this is really great. It's getting so that the "unforgivable sin" is supporting Obama.

I understand the religious right's disenchantment with any Dem candidate. But I can't understand the animosity some Hillary supporters have toward Obama. It's downright vicious in some places. There is an MSN group that has vowed to write-in Hillary's name rather than support their party's candidate.

Anywho, I'm glad you all are here. With no debating, it may seem a bit tame. But at least a Christian Dem can come here and be accepted.

I Welcome all Barack Obama Supporters, it is time for change. I hope to help his campaign this summer.

Go Barack Obama!

Support Obama and Democrats??

You obviously do not have a grasp of the tax code.

Republicans gave the average Joe who is the majority of home based biz owners huge tax breaks. I will help anyone here get a homebased biz if they want. I have several.

If you leave your business card with someone in Pheonix while you are there you have made an attempt to make an income. Because they can go to the website on your card and sogn up as a member to recieve the benefits of that membership and you would be paid a monthly commission of the monthly fee they pay for membership.

Now I do't want to derail the thread but the gas thing is only 1 of 132 tax deductions that come from business like the one you quoted from.

If you are simply a w2 paid employee with no side homebased business you are not only denying yourself of additional income but also denying yourself of 132 tax deductions if used will stimulate the economy.

So it is not only Honest and Godly to use what ceasar allows and in tax deductions and render only unto ceasar what is ceasars. It is a moral obligation to help your country by utilizing the tax benefits that are made available to you.

But to stay on topic.

Gasoline prices bit $1.72 a gallon, near record high - Mar. 10, 2003Gas prices near record high. Latest survey shows average price up 5 cents a gallon over last two weeks to $1.72 a gallon. March 10, 2003: 1:19 PM EST ... 7 Days after the invasion of Iraq

After almost 4 year of war in Iraq the gas prices went up ONLY about 58 cents a gallon

December 7 2006 : On Monday, the average price was $2.297 a gallon.

One month later Democrats win majority in Washington January 2007

Gas prices are about $ 2.30 per gallon January 2007


Regular-grade gasoline is expected to average $3.78 per gallon in 2008, or 97 cents above the 2007 average price. The U.S. average regular gasoline price, currently over $4 per gallon, is projected to peak at $4.15 per gallon in August 2008. Retail diesel fuel prices are projected to average $4.32 per gallon in both 2008 and 2009, an increase of $1.44 per gallon over the 2007 average.

The Gasoline prices have increased almost $ 2.00 per gallon since democrats took the majority in Washington.

Hmmm lets ee 4 years of Iraq war increase gas prices 58 cents.

Not even 2 years Democrat majority in Washingtom increase gas prices $2.00

I don't know that must be some of that "FUZZY MATH"
hahahahaha

Maybe we should pray we get no more Democrats in Office in Washington instead pf just praying for the gas prices.
