Real Dem — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:01:46 GMT

He wants to 'raise taxes on the rich', but his definition of 'rich' is the change you can believe in. He offers 'hope' for an energy solution that relies on a mystical change for some unknown, yet-to-be-discovered 'alternative'. However, he does know how to make his supporters swoon. Those of us who can think will be voting for McCain.

Nice move though - have to admit it's a smart move because most of the naysayers will be off for the weekend and come Monday pumped up for the convention - not much time to tear down the choice, which of course you know they will.

Real Dem is a real fake. Let's cut the lies -- Obama cuts taxes on everyone making under $250,000 a year, raises them for everyone over that. His energy plan doesn't depend on drilling for oil that will take 10 years to get out of the ground, it will start saving oil right now. Let's get to brass tacks ... lots of people voting for McCain are doing so because they fear Obama will only help out black people. You are Kanye West in reverse and you aren't a Real Dem, you're a real racist.

The only part I don't like, is Obama made it sound like he is struggling to make ends meet. They made over 4 million last year. I highly doubt Obama is in trouble financially. 4 millions, which brings up a great point. McCain only made roughly half a million last year, his wife made 6 million. Not all that much higher than the Obama's. Granted, the McCains have hundreds of millions in assets. Still, It is a bit misleading and I don't like that.

Don't blame the press for acting like kids or watching every move that Biden or the other VP candidates make. We bloggers who post here on a regular basis are not any less political junkies as members of the press. They report/write it, you read it, then comment about it. If we were not as bad as them we wouldn't be on this sight reading and commenting regularly. Don't reply by stating speak for yourself. Come on, admit it. You guys are political junkies and love the drama. It's what gets you up in the morning. It's also another reason why some want Biden. Can you imagine waking each morning to see and hear what Biden has to say about Mccain and the republicans as Obama's running mate. There will be nothing boring about it.

Why would Clinton backers want her to be VP? If she's as strong and capable as they believe, why put her in a position where she is giving up her power? She would be better off staying in the Senate and having Obama put her up for the Supreme Court. Not voting for Obama because Clinton lost the primary would could cost this country the next 4 years.

How can you credibly say that Hillary knows the economy when she can't even manage the economy of her own campaign?!?
These are serious times. Americans are losing their jobs, houses and lives on a daily basis. We have gone through eight long years of this debacle. Hillary's blind ambition will cost us another four years of this intolerable situation.
Do you Clintonistas SERIOUSLY think you have a prayer in 2012 if Obama is not FULLY and UNCONDITIONALLY supported this November?
