#184. To: lodwick (#179)
If he does that, my only question is then "Where do I send the check?" Obama has set the stage now for real leadership. This is political brinksmanship at its best. If he does not seize the moment and emerge as a real leader with a solution and a plan, all is for naught. All eyes are on Obama now. It is "lead or die" for his campaign at this moment. I imagine the uproar at Jesse Jackson's mansion is deafening. Obama threatens Jackson's very existance. Ditto for Al Sharpton and the Diversity Mongers. Once Obama starts in, he will discover that Black America has withdrawn from the country in many parts. Whitey did his part - it is now time for Black America to do its part and join with the rest of us. Lunch with a friend of mine where we discuss these matters (let's just say his kids are mixed) should be very interesting this week.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.
Is it your 'time of the month,' or what the heck's wrong with you today? You're not winning friends, nor influencing people with these mindless, groundless attacks.
Are you now supporting Obama as well?
Our last hope for peace The human equivalent of an "alley cat" already served two terms back in the '90s.
“I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man.” - Sam Houston
Another point in his favor. Who's the last President you could say that about. He's obviously got about a 65 point IQ edge on the Decider ... not a bad place to start from.
Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot
I understand some of our 4um stalwarts are considering an "Obama cheer leading club". Complete with pom poms.
As you know dog I emphatically agree with you this year. Even for those putting forth the lesser of evils argument, I don't see how anyone can fail to see the widening of the evil gap this time around. Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot Obama's the lesser weevil dis yeer...
Our last hope for peace Funny, I could have sworn you posted on this forum you would abandon your support for Ron Paul unless he publicly disowned Kucinich.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
I would like to cover every politician with BBQ sauce, for starters....
Complete with pom poms. Very telling.
Our last hope for peace Damned straight, if I found out that RP was a fraud like you Obamaphiles are, I'd have dropped him in a heart beat too.
Our last hope for peace He never did disown Kucinich, did he?

That was Jefferson's suggestion every twenty years, or so. We're over-due a couple of centuries.
So far it looks like ghost, Ari and icon in the running for head cheer leader for Obama. Actually none of them were surprises.
He didn't have to, putz. He never said he'd be on the same ticket as DK either, did he?
Our last hope for peace Actually none of them were surprises. There's plenty more, and a couple of them were surprises to me. But you'd know far better than I...
Our last hope for peace two hundred
Our last hope for peace Well, I suppose he didn't have to, unless he paid attention to you. As you just admitted a few posts back, you demanded that he publicly disown Kucinich or you would drop your support of him. Some diehard support that is.

Reading Bush's served you well. So did voting for Badnarik last time. Ho hum. Well, I s'pose that at least relieved your frustrations. Repeating the exercise when the choices are so starkly different may have a decidedly sour result.
Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot
When confronted with the choice of "lesser of two evils" - recognize that you are still voting for evil and choose not to play.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.
I received direct personal assurances that no watermelons like dk would ever be considered on a Ron Paul ticket.

Why the hell not? Guys, you'll never be proven wrong by voting for no-chance candidates. Of course, you'll never know for sure if you were right, either.

How did you manage to go from supporting the Constitution-candidate to whoring yourself for the Establishment selection(s)? (I already know the answer)
Our last hope for peace I certainly will never endorse, support or have a kind word for ANY of the Establishment candidates let alone put on the knee pads for one like you do...
Our last hope for peace If you bother to read Obama's speech, you may notice that he begins by talking about the Constitution, and ends by talking about the Constitution. In his previous speeches he has repeatedly spoken of his respect for the Constitution, denounced torture, called for restoring habeas corpus, etc. He occasionally mentions in his speeches that for years he taught constitutional law. Not just anywhere, but at the conservative University of Chicago Law School.

Some of these pathetic folks wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they couldn't at least pretend to be playing in the game...
Our last hope for peace From Ron Paul? Oh really?

Our last hope for peace You sound surprised.
Our last hope for peace Obama is going down, and with him will crash the faux hopes of millions of naive brainwashed, feminist, socialist UN lovers. Ah yes, I love the smell of false dreams crashing in the morning...

I certainly am. Ron Paul communicates with you?

Deep down, they love the thought of the North America Union/Zone/Community...
Our last hope for peace I had the good pleasure of having breakfast with Ron on the campaign trail.
Our last hope for peace You'll have to excuse me if I wait for proof before I believe that. Ron Paul is obviously a very courteous gentleman, something very different from how you present yourself on this forum. And, as you admitted above, Ron Paul and Kucinich are friends. I very much doubt if he would speak of him in anything like the terms you indicated above.

An awful lot of the elitists start at at least the Congressional level. Caveat emptor.

ari, unlike you, I'm serious about what I do. As the blind man said to his wife after taking a dump: "Honey, can you proof read something for me". So I say to you.
Our last hope for peace Its the canard of "don't throw your vote away!" that gets them every time.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.
In other words, you can't prove it.

For EVERYONE that blew it and supported George W. Bush in either 2000 or especially 2004 - you are NOW not the sleaziest one in the room.

The 'Help America' voting machines could elect Christine's cat, who, knowing him personally, would do a fine job in the oval office.

This is a very good speech, but it has the typical Obama signature to it.

My hope is that the awakening that Dr.Paul started across the country, and the world, will continue on the local level. That's where most all these criminal cretins that wind up in deecee got their start, after all.
