Open Letter to fellow Georgian Ron Paul Supporters: From the Chairman of th
2008-05-18 22:43:00 Open Letter to fellow Georgian Ron Paul Supporters:Many of you already know me as someone who worked very hard in support of Rep. Paul in his quest for the GOP nomination for President, that is, up until the business end of the GOP started. With the assistance of some very dedicated individuals, we were able to give Dr. Paul the highest percentage of votes in the state in our area of concentration, Athens/Clarke county Georgia. After reading the AJC article by Aaron Gould Sheinin this morning on how awful you all were treated at the GOP state convention, I was compelled to write this letter.For some of you, this past year was the first time you became active in politics. Others have been at it for a while. Many came to recognize some time ago that it is futile to try to change the BIG government parties from within. I can be counted among those with this belief, which is why I did not participate once the business portion ...

Paul Supporters Planning Convention Revolt Against McCain
2008-05-12 16:19:00 I’ve previously noted that Ron Paul is unwilling to endorse John McCain, and prefers Obama’s views on foreign policy. Many of Paul’s supporters are not likely to back McCain either, and The Los Angeles Times reports that they plan on making trouble for McCain at the Republican convention: …quietly, largely under the radar of most people, ...

SNL Hillary Clinton Opening: "My Supporters Are Racist"
2008-05-11 15:51:00 This is the most biting Saturday Night Live sketch since the Chris Rock / Obama one of a year ago, and is rooted in some truths. But also it sends a message to Senator Clinton that she can't influnce the SNL comedians. It also shows how they feel about her. Like a good comedy work about politics should do, it's got some people upset. Of course, Clinton supporters, who are branded --- perhaps forever -- as racist. Let's see how the Clinton camp responds.
How Obama?s Supporters Will Sabotage Obama

Supporters Worried About TDC-TRS Transfers
2008-05-01 14:01:00 The Charleston Gazette reports that "heads of two state teacher and school employee groups sent a letter to Gov. Joe Manchin Wednesday asking him to extend the deadline for about 19,000 teachers in one retirement plan to decide whether to switch to another plan."The West Virginia Federation of Teachers and the allied state School Service Personnel Association argue they "need additional time to counter confusion and misinformation about the transfer election," the article said.A Manchin spokeswoman told The Gazette that "changing the deadline could only be done through a special session of the Legislature."The more than 19,000 enrollees in the Teachers' Defined Contribution plan have until May 12 to decide whether to transfer. But for any transfers to take effect, at least 12,343 must make that choice.As of Friday, 1,530 had elected to transfer, according to the program's Web site. The transfer plan envisions May 5 as a major event, with enrollees able to drop off their transfer f...

Five Black Minds Obama Supporters Should Get Behind
2008-04-28 12:30:00 Barack Obama is currently nailing down 80-90% of the black vote in America. Would it be fair to say that race has a bit to do with that percentage? Perhaps. Geraldine Ferraro told a story on John Gibson’s radio show last week about a black man accosting a black female for supporting Hillary Clinton by saying something to the effect of, “How can you choose your gender over your race?” Maybe I’m outside the mainstream, but I guess I look at the positions and beliefs of the candidate, and not the skin tone. Because of that, I’ve pretty much found myself without a candidate to support. I suppose I could just support the old white guy because he’s white, but I really don’t agree with too much of what he says or does. Anyway, if you find yourself supporting Barack Obama because you are excited about him being the first black President, perhaps you could take the time to support these fine black Americans*: J. C. Watts, Jr. (born November 1...

Thereupon he said: You killed him, or you sliced the back of the man.Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 5321It is reported on the authority of Abu Bakrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:A man praised another man in the presence of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), whereupon he said: Woe be to you, you have chopped the neck of your friend, you have chopped the neck of your friend, he said this twice.

Bad News for Obama Supporters: Polls and Don't Ask, Don't Tell
2008-04-11 01:32:00 Fox: Obama won?t demand Joint Chiefs reject ?Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell?CNN: Poll: McCain even with Obama, ClintonBad news for Obama supporters. The poll I personally find particularly ominous. The Democratic nomination must end soon: superdelegates must endorse by June 4.Obama?s new ?Don?t ask, don?t tell? policy also disgusts me. Homophobia is modern day racism, sexism and anti-Semitism. And also, in an exclusive email conversation with the Obama campaign 9 months ago, I thought he made it pretty clear he would end the practice:?Senator Obama supports economic, social, and legal rights for gays and lesbians. He supports full civil unions, expanding hate crimes statutes, fighting discrimination at work and in housing and other places of public accommodation, and wants to increase adoption rights. He opposes any Constitutional ban on gay marriage, opposes the Defense of Marriage Act, and opposes the current ?Don?t ask, don?t tell? policy on gays in the military, which weakens us in a tim...

Open Letter to Obama Supporters from an Obama Supporter: Let the Contentio
2008-03-30 19:57:00 Senator Patrick Leahy called last week for Hillary Clinton to bow out of the Democratic Presidential contest. Not only is that not likely to happen, it's likely counterproductive to call for it. Hillary Clinton will drop out of the race when she's ready, and the only people she's likely to take counsel from about that are Bill and Cheslea. Further, if there is any chance, however slight, of Hillary winning, then why should she withdraw now?I'm an Obama supporter. But here, from that vantage point, are my takes on various contentious issues in the Democratic race to the White House:1. Let all the voting continue, in every primary yet to be held. There will be more than enough time, after the last primary in June, for the candidates to reassess their positions before the convention in August.2. Calls for a reduction in criticism of Obama and Clinton by Clinton and Obama are foolish. Although I by no means support some of the name-calling that has been going on (such as Jame...

The scientists' and researchers' declaration basically said leave the science to the real scientists - we conclude that global warming is not manmade, stop using it as an excuse to scare, tax, and distract people from the real issues.

Will 28% of Hillary Supporters really vote for McCain?
2008-03-26 19:03:00 Well I guess the short answer to this is "maybe". Heck, I might even go so far as to say that the short answer is "yes". More importantly, I can actually say this without believing that it is some earth shattering revelation. Here is the reality folks. People cross over. Even in 2004, when we had an obvious animosity between parties, 11% of all self-proclaimed Democrats voted for Bush. It is almost certain that the less polarizing John McCain will earn more crossover Democrats and possibly by a large margin. Consider for a second that in the average of the current Democratic popular polling, Hillary gets about 47% of the Democratic respondants. So if 28% of those 47% cross over, you are looking at only about 13%. With only 3% of the Obama supporters crossing over, you would be looking at between 14%-15% crossover total. This is about the number that McCain is pulling in the crosstabs of most of the polls. Read more »Original post blogged on b2evolution.

Obama Supporters To Flood NWI Times Forum
2008-03-22 03:51:00 Barack Obama’s campaign site is encouraging Barack Obama supporters to flood the NWI Times Forum. Barack and the truth have been taking a beating in an online discussion forum run by the The Times in Northwest Indiana. There are not a lot of posters right now, but the discussion forum is widely read by those who view the online version of the Times. I think it would be beneficial if we could flood this discussion forum with positive posts about Obama from now until the primary. People need to know that the smears directed toward Barack are not true, and also need to be educated on the reasons that Obama is the right choice. The “Nation and World” Forum gets the most traffic. Here is the url… http://nwi.com/interact/viewfor-um.php?f=2 If I was advising the campaign, I’d tell them to take a look at the top posters on the Northwest Indiana Times’ forum and decide if it was worth spending any time over there trying to convince them of anything.

Did Obama Just Call Reagan Supporters Racist?
2008-03-19 17:36:00 Brian over at “Reagan’s GOP” made an interesting catch with something Obama said recently. He seems to disagree with [Jeremiah Wright’s] tone, but not with his ideas. Obama had no problem calling a majority of Americans angry racists without using every word and couching the sentiments in flowery rhetoric. ?Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition.? After 20 years, and by a self-avowed ?admirer? of Ronald Reagan, the far left and their candidate du jure, Barack Obama, still cling to the belief that Ronald Reagan was the choice of 44 states in 1980 and 49 states in 1984 because a bunch of racist whites were ?angry? about welfare and affirmative action. [Reagan’s GOP] Is it just me, or are you starting to get the feeling Obama might have a little racist blood running through his veins? I’m sure he got it from the white side of the family though… Tags: barack-obama, ronald-reagan, racismShareThis

Ahmadinejad Supporters Win Parliamentary Elections
2008-03-17 08:09:00 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s supporters apparently have gained an overwhelming majority in parliamentary elections. Reformist parties opposed to the president stood scant chance of winnng sinc the Guardian Council, which approves all candidates, wiped off the ballot at least 200 reformists. Reform opponents of Ahmadenijad were only able to run candidates in about 60 of the 290 electoral districts. The Interior Minister, Mostafa Pour Mohammadi, said 71% of votes went to conservative factions and 29% went to “other groups,” and we all know who that means. Abot 60% of voters turned out which conservatives hailed as a dramatic challenge to America which has been attacking Ahmadinejad. The cnservatives are split, one faction is upset at the inept economic performance of Ahmadinejad whose handling of the nation’s economy has resulted in an 18% inflation rate and high unemployment. Ahmadinejad has been able to use Western rhetoric, particularly statemen... |
