I'm sure that'll cost Barack vote's. NOT!!!

Just seen McCain in SC say he was never for amnesty & Never for Social Security for Veteran's!!!! To Think the GOP is actually considering his feeble mind for President.

Will the Dumbing down of America ever cease?

Not until the McCains & the Clinton's are off the campaign trail.

We are tired of trusting the same people who have been a great part of the problems we are having in this country to fix those same problems they helped to creat in woshington.

If you helped in starting this war in Iraq through your vote in woshington, you were wrong when it counted the most. That is your expirience. If you have been part of the fights that divided this country and woshington and helped deny the people well intended bills like good health care for everyone, you were wrong when it counted the most. That is your expirience. If you have more favours to give to special interests and lobbyists in woshington because they are fighting for you in this campaign; you are wrong when it counts the most. That is your expirience. If you believe in the bush foreign policy of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, you are wrong when it counts the most. That is your expirience. If you are scared to say or do the right thing even when it's unpopular, as a leader, you are wrong.

Expirience is like a real view mirror and while it shows us where you have been, it can't and shouldn't be used to tell us where we are going without good judgement; we can't look back to the future if we have to go forward to the future. We need a new leader with the right judgement, and the right expirience; a leader who will inspire us to unite for a common cause; who will do the right things when they count the most rather than do the wrong things and look for a chance to fix everything later. We have seen the cost of a broken system in blood, and poverty and in many other ways that we can't and shouldn't be scared of a new day. A better day. We need to know that Yes. we. can. If we have the courage to change. Obama 08.

In the meantime, if you're tired of politics as usually, come visit www.barackobama.com. He's got new plans listed for the economy and the war in Iraq. Come take a look and see if you'd like to be a part of the people's MOVEMENT for change!

First Read..."What" — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:54:28 GMT

First Read "WHAT"

Seriously, are you truly an American...? You would rather sacrifice the Soul of this Country just to spread your ridiculous hatred of Senator Obam. You would rather see this country destroyed not because you don't believe in the things that Senator Barack Obama is saying but because it is Senator Barack Obama who is saying it.

They are many Rich Politician who want to scare you with WAR.... They want you to be preoccupy because they want you to make same mistake a 3rd time....And if you do, mark my words, you think you are struggling now, it will become far worst than anything you can ever imagine.

Look at your politician.... Have you ever wondered how much they are worth financially.... I believe Senator Obama is probably the poorest of the group. He had every opportunity to make millions but it was his choice to stay and fight for the middle class and the poor.

And let me tell you if you elect Senator Clinton.... She will not look out for you she will only it make it worst for you.... She will take this Country deeper into a hole And then turn around and blame it on George Bush Administration's past mistakes....She voted for the war but blamed George Bush for it's failures... when his failures could not exist without her support.

And then soon you will one day come face to face with your deepest fear, the true meaning of poverty.... It will not just touch one of us it will touch all of us....And then your chance is lost.....Senator Obama will be only that, Senator Obama...You won't have the opportunity for 4 more years to repair the mistake you've made. We are at war but it's not with the world.....It is the Middle Class and the Poor against the Richest of the Rich. So I say, Republicans, Democrats and Independent who fits in the category of the less fortunate, make a choice, and think very hard at the choices you make because once you make it can not be undone...

Subtract yourselves from the propaganda....And ask the questions

How does your savings account look (many saving accounts no longer exists because many are living pay check to pay check)
Has the amount you pay for in gas taken away the type of food you buy (many are getting real familiar with TOP RAMEN)
How about the cost of housing (Now I don't own a home but come this January my rent will be rising to the cost of what a mortgage would be)
How about your health Insurance.... Well my employer just eliminated vision from our Healthcare Plan..... But they did give us the choice of purchasing it separately......Along with eliminating our vision they also increased the amount of premium we must pay for health care to and extra $50.00 making my monthly cost in Health Insurance balloon to $350 a month....
How about the price of Groceries (Well That has me struggling also)
Will you have money to send your children to college?
And with every cost of living on the rise the one thing that is excluded is how much we are bringing home from work. What we make to survive on is at stand still, while everything we need to survice it rising at impossible prices to pay for.
And I pretty sure that they are many many more questions that could be added on to this list
(The Richest of the Rich will have no problem answering any of the questions I have listed above with the highest of dignity.... Why many Americans are left to suffer)
So, Once again I say to subtract yourselves from the propaganda.....And ask the true hard to come to terms with questions......

Steven, KDH, N.C. — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 23:33:20 GMT

The Las Vegas Sun
“After the Sun worked the story for two hours, this much is clear: What exactly happened this afternoon at Paris Las Vegas depends on whom you talk to. To hear Clinton’s campaign and her supporters tell it, the union intimidated a member into caucusing for Obama, demanding that she sign a pledge card or face exile from the caucus.

“To hear the alleged victim tell it, it was much more of a misunderstanding.”

After speaking with several Culinary members — at the suggestion of the Clinton campaign — the Sun cannot substantiate widespread voter intimidation on the part union organizers. What is clear, however, is that Culinary organizers are pushing Obama hard in the run-up to Saturday’s Caucus.

It’s also clear that some members in some cases have felt intimidated by the pushy approach of some organizers. According to labor experts, a vigorous back-and-forth is the norm in these types of situations — and the tactics don’t cross the legal line unless workers are overtly threatened.

None of the Culinary members interviewed by the Sun claim to have been threatened.

Worst case scenario: Organizers are telling members they must caucus for Obama — or they can’t caucus. While experts say that’s unethical, it also is an outlier in the cases examined by the Sun.

Most of the members interviewed by the Sun say they are Clinton supporters who have taken issue with either the Culinary’s endorsement of Obama or the endorsement in general.

The situation is not as black and white as liberal blogger Taylor Marsh says it is. Marsh did not respond to an e-mail seeking an interview. Here are some questions the Sun sought to ask her.

1) Marsh did not identify the eyewitness to the Paris incident as a Clinton supporter. Why not?

2) Marsh did not include any interview with the actual alleged victim, Sylvia Antuna. Why not? In an interview with the Sun, Antuna said the incident may have been more misunderstanding than intimidation.

3) Did Marsh attempt to reach the Culinary Union to get its response to the allegation? If not, why not?

4) Last year, Marsh accepted money from the Association of Federal, State, City and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), to blog at a Democratic event. AFSCME has endorsed Clinton and is a longtime ally of the Clinton family. Has Marsh taken payment from AFSCME recently? If so, how much?

To all you Obama enthusiasts: just why should we believe that someone who has not yet had the chance to prove himself can work all these "change" miracles, just because you have "hope." It takes knowledge and experience, not hope and great speaking skills. Jimmy Carter showed us what a truly good man who had great intentions can do - absolutely nothing but embarrass the country.

The best people in the country haven't been able to change it but a neophyte can? Give me a break.

Are you Dummycrats that stupid? Wake up and quit drinkngi the koolaid, the only thing you Omama cultist keep saying is HE inspires me, or he gives me hope, get real people, is it worth rolling the dice Vegas?

I am nothing if not honored, to be included among all you intellectual types. Now, about what happened yesterday in Nevada. I DISAGREE! speaking for myself, I would'nt call how she said what she said, a "faux pas". Let's face it- it's not as if it was "faute de mieux". She had only one choice. The handful of people
in that town hall on that day in Rino, may have shown
disapproval but in all of my 50 years, for as long as I can recall,I've heard a great many people here in America from all walks of life- because they speak standard American English- pronounce {the proper name; grm.} "Nevada", the very same way she said it yesterday. It was thoroughly and completely forgivable. No fault in it whatsover. A Totally innocent drift, and then ofcourse she relented to a completely gratified audience. Go watch the video, you'll see what I mean.
In the same context, the worst example of shameless disregard ladies and gentlemen, is holding the office of President of the United States for a full-blown 8 years (8, mind you and possibly even more), and when addressing hundreds of millions of intelligent men and women,
continually and slovenly mispronouncing "nuclear".
Please, when you go to vote, and I certainly will do so myself, don't base your decision on how Mrs. Michelle Obama pronounced or mispronounced the name
"Nevada".

Bob Carroll, Las Vegas, NV — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:48:05 GMT

California, Montana, Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Colorado - Spanish origin - English pronunciation

Very few who have lived for a significant time west of Kansas ever had a problem pronouncing Nevada correctly: neh-VA-duh ("A" as in cat)

This is mostly east coast arrogance and southern ignorance. The east coast media is proud that they can pronounce Kazakhstan but won't take 20 seconds to learn how to properly pronounce Nevada, Colorado, and Oregon.

IMO, the country bumpkin who pronounces Illinois as "Illi-noise" is no worse than the equivalent east coast or Texas "educated" media bumpkin who mispronounces Nevada.

In fact, I give the country bumpkin a bit more credit because once informed of his error, unlike some east coast folks I have encountered, he is unlikely to have the chutzpah to tell a native Nevadan or Coloradan how they "should" pronounce their own states.
