Subject: Bart, why do you hate Obama?
Bart, you wrote:
> "I'm doing all I can to get Obama elected..."
What a joke. Your nonstop dwelling on Obama's
FISA vote,
perpetuating the idea of him being a flip-flopper...dispicable.
Well, actually no.
1- Can you name the last time a Demo nominee
voted to kill a Bill of Rights in a campaign?
I'm just saying that
is
a big deal.
2- "Nonstop dwelling" is non apropos,
considering the tragedy of our fading Constitution.
I'm 54 - I've never
used non apropos in a sentence before.
3- *I* am not responsible for people calling
Obama a flip-flopper.
As ready and willing
as I am to support him, he's done some really crazy stuff that's
angered and confused
a lot of people, and if I failed to mention that crazy stuff and
comment honestly on
it, would I be doing my job? What would history say about that?
That was a joke.
I think history will remember me like they remembered Mickey Squeezer.
5- What I did was not dispicable.
Voting to erase the Fourth Amendment was despicable.
Why can't you get it through your head that
his FISA vote was a POLITICAL MOVE..
He did it to look tough on national security...that
matters to ALOT of people who vote.
1- Dude - you and me are not enemies.
2- I get that politicians vote a certain way
to gain power.
That's why Lefty democrats
hate Hillary, remember?
Can you not imagine a scenario where if
he would have voted against FISA,
the Bush/McCain fuckers would have orchestrated
some attack where they
would use his vote to blame him for not
helping prevent them?
I get that - you and me are not
enemies.
But just for Devil's Advocate, how do you
think Obama got the nomination?
He got it by promising that he wasn't about
"Playing
the game,"
He beat Hillary by presenting himself as
"Not
the same old, same old,"
and you ask me what's wrong with voting
against your principles to get elected?
You don't have to agree with the principle
of his vote, but you can't argue
with it as a good political move. THINK
ABOUT IT.
Pedro the Lion
Pedro, all things conidered, I'm OK with
Obama and I want him to win.
He's gonna be the guy who kicked the BFEE's
sorry ass out of Washington - maybe.
Bush & Cheney could still go all "President for Life" on us,
and there's just
Ol' Bart and a handful of other liberals with guns ready to fight
for the REAL America.
Liberals - afraid to arm themselves for a fight.
How did I land in this party of silly gooses?
