"I'm Voting for Obama and Lee Terry"
October 12, 2008 4:21 PM
This ran in the free weekly paper in Omaha, "The Reader"
The ad reads:
"Obama-Terry Voter, anyone?" I’ll admit it: I’m voting for Obama and Lee Terry. Why? Because I want our officials to work hard, to be honest, exhibit strong ethics and be accessible. That’s Lee Terry. Ever talked with Lee? I have. You ask him questions, you get straight answers. I like that. Please join me in voting for Lee Terry. Paid for by Lee Terry for Congress
Lee Terry is the incumbent REPUBLICAN running for re-election to Congress in Nebraska's second congressional district.
More on what Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., calls "Obamaha" HERE.

"Democratic Congress drove UP gas prices"
How did they do that? Do they control the weather? Did they send hurricanes into the gulf?

Democratic Congress drove UP gas prices and they are on a break until AFTER THE ELECTION DURING THIS "CRISIS". And THAT'S what our tax $$$ go to?
DEMS OUT.....
McCAIN/PALIN IN.....REFORMERERS WITH A RECORD TO STAND ON!
OBAMA, as McCain says "zilch, zero, zippo, nada".

Another right wing lie bites the dust
"Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama did not urge Iraqi officials to delay a decision on a security agreement with the United States, Iraq's foreign minister told CNN on Sunday.
The statement by Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari refutes a recent published report and a statement by Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin that Obama tried to influence Iraqi politicians negotiating with the United States to score political points."

While McCain succumbed to the forces of fear - Obama remained faithful to the forces of hope and optimism. ...........

Republicans, with Bush and Cheney's leadership, have run the country into the ground. Bush and our federal government under him made sure no one was able to stop the corrupt lenders in the states that resulted in all these foreclosures and eventually brought down Wall Street. Bush made sure specially chosen companies like Halliburton profited from the blood, sweat and tears of our troops in the Iraq War. The war for oil that he forced on America. In his 8 years Bush has brought the country to despair with de-regulation and privatization. Be very afraid of privatization as it means going into unscrupulous hands to be victimized by the greedy. George Soros said this morning that this started with Reagan's policies that were deregulation and anti-government. Without a decent government you have no economy worth anything.

Mahye: Gas went UP as soon as Bush took office in 2001. The GOP controlled the whole government.
How man crashes, recessions and depressions do you need before you wake up? Republican economic policies do not work!

An Associated Press report from Kittanning, Pennsylvania, explores the feelings of folks in the struggling steel-and-coal small towns that surround Pittsburgh.
Ruth Ann Michel, 64, told a reporter that her vote for Obama on Nov. 4 will mark the first time in her life that she has voted for a Democrat.
She doesn't particularly like Obama. She simply has grown tired of Republican economics, which she perceives work in favor of corporate executives and wealthy individuals.

"when the republicans had control of the house gas was low and people had jobs"
You mean in 1990's when Clinton was President?
The job market has been down and gas prices have been high since Bush took over.

THE ANGRY McCAIN/PALIN MOBS are just the final gasp of a failed campaign...
The Republicans are lashing out in the most ERRATIC way against Obama now. In a last DESPERATE and PATHETIC try to maintain their evil hold over the country...
This effort in a MAJOR way is being controlled and funded by the rich and the large corporations, in an effort to hold on to their money and power...
The SAD thing is they are using the rednecks, Klan members and other "lower information" parts of the Republican base to further their movement...
In fact just like the Republicans that post here!
Unfortunately, it isn't going to work this time and finally TRUTH, GOOD an the real AMERICAN WAY is winning in a LANDSLIDE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!

"No write in votes please....Bob Barr is going to get about 3% of votes anyway."
"Hillary supporter" for McCain makes a candidate loyalty plea.

Dream on Democrats and Zerobamas....
Nebraska is safe for McCain by 17%...but feel free to spend some more illegal donations and send in ACORN to fill out more illegal registrations. I believe all pizza delivery people SHOULD get 10 votes EACH!!!

There will be lots of republicans who will not vote for McCain. Regarding Obama, it could be a reversal Bradley effet in some swing states. They will say the vote for McCain but will cast a vote for Obama, especially in small towns. Just look at the polls. Republicans a far less enthousiastics for McCain that the democrats are for Obama.

Carole,
No one with a brain takes the Enquirer seriously. Remember, it was the right-wing conservatives like Sean Hannity who said the MSM should have covered the Edwards story bc it ran in the Enquirer. But then, no one with a brain takes Hannity seriously either.

No posts here....no one cares.
Just saw Obama going door to door in an elderly white neighborhood in Ohio...with the bots following him.
The woman opened the door and then shut it on him....he probably said "boo".
They had to coax her out.
NO BAMA, NOT NOW, NOT EVER.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN.

"When the republican wants democratic coat-tails in Nebraska, the fat lady is singing."
Best comment so far on the blog.

This morning Joshua Trevino,one of the founders of Redstate....very right wing blog....said he just mailed in his ballot and couldn't bring himself to vote for Mccain---wrote in Jindal...I urge all you like minded republicans to do something similar.
