Political Punch

Obama is rich Democrat or Republican?

He spent $36.4 million over the course of the math about $4 million more than he raised during the same time- as he tried to sew up the nomination.
Despite outspending Clinton in PI,IN , he lost both contests.

Tri_Asian,

Hmmm,,, very well educated...
No surprised.
I'm not trying to judge people but since you've said it.
I still find some mistakes on your writing though... eg, capital letter for somebody's name.

Once again, eezii, before the moderator deletes it: you can click on the name and find out precisely what you want to know. I don't use pseudonyms. It's spineless and dishonorable.

Learn to use the web. It's a phenomenal source of information if you know how to vette it. It is a phenomenal source of misinformation if you don't.

Obama is a puppet controlled by The Democratic Party and George Soros.

The DNC could not control Hillary so they picked a man willing to sell his soul. And now they can bend and twist him any way they want.

Please research the Soros,Obama,DNC connection to see what America will look like if Obama is elected.

Hillary or McCain 08

So, so what?

How does that reduce gas price for me? How does that solve world hunger? How does that fix the economic mess we are in?

He wins the election, and four years later, we will be lamenting about the same things except his supporters will blame everything on Bush.

When I vote in Nov and I am boxed into the 2 man choice, I will go with the devil I know!
McCain is so much better as the devil I KNOW!!
Never vote Obama.
ANYONE BUT OBAMA!
OBama is the worst thing that ever happened to AMERICA!

I will like Sen. Obama to manage my money for me. He is an excellent manager. He is decent, intelligent and very honest. He would not be taken by the idea of a gas tax break to win votes.

Way to go, Obama. We, women are behind you 100%. I am a mother of three sons and I want the best for them because the youths are the future of this great country.

We all (my family of 5)are routing for you. God bless you as you prepare to lead this country to a greater tomorrow.

Len,

What a hypocrit you are. After commending Jeanne for signing her full name, you couldn't even sign yours. What does len stand for?

Anyway, let's get to the business at hand. You see, many people say or write things they don't know mostly out of hatred. We all are Americans and we know the history of this country when it comes to racism. You are either a racist or a republican who will naturally not vote for anything good or graceful. You can only vote for Bush or McCain aka McBush so that we keep our troops in Iraq to keep dying for Bush and Chenney policy on foreign oil with their precious lives (McCain said he will not send our troops to fight for oil as Bush did).

You don't know Obama or his wife. You just say things to make yourself feel good, but I want to know how you feel destroying someone when you really don't know what you are saying or when you know you are lying. Get real, get some education and have some good knowledge. Don't continue to allow Hillary label you uneducated white racist, the type that only vote for her or McCain now that Hillary is out of the way.

I am very proud to be voting for Obama.It is the best thing i have done in an election in my life time. Haters you are out numbered. Dont be to upset.

Hi Jeanne:

First, thanks for signing your real name. I respect that. Too many people get away with the pseudonyms. It made the web an ugly place and it reveals the lack of courage of too many people who post. It turns us into a nation of snitches and backbiters.

I agree with your assessment of Clinton's early campaigning. The staff work was dismal. I'm proud of the woman I've seen since then. She is an amazing person with an amazing family.

In all good conscience, I can't vote for Barack Obama. I've done the research, looked at his past, noticed his complete lack of experience and legislative accomplishments. His associates are shady and his wife is meaner than anyone I've seen on the political stage since George Wallace. I admire McCain and I know that with a Democratic majority in Congress he can lead admirably while we sort out the disasters of the Bush administration.

My real disappointment is watching the women in this country allow the pillory of Senator Clinton in the press. The cruelty of that is disgusting. I had hoped American women had come to respect themselves more and learned that kowtowing only lowers that glass ceiling. Too little too late some seemed to have realized what an opportunity for real change has slipped away while they were 'making nice'. Maybe listening to the Dixie Chicks closely would have helped. Maybe realizing that the incredible inequities of pay and promotion aren't features of nature but nurture would have helped.

But at this point, I have to vote for McCain or save the gallon of gas and stay home. I simply can't vote for Obama. I was a nightclub musician for many years while working my way up, and I know the con when I see it. He is an empty suit and I've had enough of that kind of politics. He needs something he doesn't have: honor and experience.

Best and thanks!

All I can say is C.R.E.A.M, Cash Rule Everything Around Me. He's got the juice, while Hillary has run out of gas. As Carlos Mencia would say, D D D.

Hmm, Money is everything.

From last post!!

First GE = General Electric

Second time GE used is for General election

Len,

Sorry I guess I should have said a 22 year old in India.

We did vote Gore in 2000. But the country had so much Clinton Fatigue that we got Bush. After all the scandals in the Clinton Admin. Americans were anti-Clinton and it cost Gore the White House. Now the pro-Clinton vote is going to cost Obama. What a legacy.

She didn't lose this because of sexism or media bias. It was her election to lose and she did. In 2007 she raised $100 million, she was ahead in the polls 30 to 40%, had the name recognition and the political clout. She was MY choice too. But she ran a terrible campaign, she hired the wrong people, insulated herself with "yes men", didn't have a clear message, mismanaged the campaign finances and had no plan after Super Tuesday.

The media thought it was "quaint" that this upstart "David" was going to challenge Clinton's "Goliath". The media saw him as a gnat that would be swept away in the landslide Clinton was destined to have. She underestimated the good of the nation and his message of change. When he won Iowa, they were blindsided and had no follow-up plan.

To say she lost is just another example of "blame-shifting" straight out of the Clinton Playbook. She lost because of a poorly planned and poorly executed campaign. And I need more than that of my leaders. It's a shame, she was my choice too.

Jeanne

arure,

That is a sad scenario. These women are willing to put the lives, health and financial stability of their families in jeopardy just to make a point. And we wonder why the Europens think we are idiots.

An 11 year old in Thailand is going to do the job of a top engineer, R&D VP and systems designer? Why do I doubt that, Really?

If you were upper middle class you had a chance to change your fate eight years ago. Instead, Bush was voted in twice. We all love to blame him but we forget the inconvenient fact that he was voted in twice.

So the pendulum swings mindlessly hard left from hard right. That's political physics. Except we forget that there are real people who can make wise choices. A well-trained experienced and competent leader can do better than any vision puppet.

McCain is not just the better candidate, he is the better man than Obama. Unfortunately for America, the best man in the race is a woman and women just aren't allowed to occupy the top chair in this country regardless of their qualifications. The glass ceiling is real. And we put it there.

Tri_Asian says.. 'I do not understand why women are so disappointed with Obama...

Have you heard the saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' thats whats playing out now, the women are not dissapointed in Obama per say its just that Obama is unfortunate to be the one blocking the 1st Female presidents path....so if Hillary cant get it Obama must be brought Downnnnn in retaliation..... dumb as it seems that just the reality on Ground. Obama is the Focal point and for them represents all you sexist out there... they just have to teach you guys a lesson.
(by the way Im a 35yr old female)

len,

I am not fear mongering. I am realistic. My family is upper middle class, or at least used to be. We should be living the American Dream. But the harder we work, the less we get.
The price of EVERYTHING has sky rocketed, but our pay has remained stagnant. The middle class has been wiped out in 8 years.

McCain wants to give tax breaks to corporations. More tax breaks to HUGE corporations. Amazing!

I'm glad you have a good job, because under McCain and his trade proposals your good job may soon be done by an 11 year old in Thailand for $5 a week.

Vote McCain!!

Blue Cross Blue Shield and a good job? Yes, Really. And both having grown up poor, have had Food Stamps, picked cotton when young, all of the stuff and more you folks think make a man. The difference is, I'm not complaining. America really is a land of opportunity as long as we work hard and are fearless.

Fear mongering is a Republican tactic. I'm a Democrat but I am an American first and party loyalty is meaningless in the face of the games played to get Obama in position to take this nomination. It's funny how fast the Obama supporters go straight to the low side of campaigning.

McCain is Not Bush. Obama is not ready.
