All adult voters should recognize that this election is neither the beginning nor the end to anything. But this election also has the potential to be the start of something very good. Nevertheless, some ignorant and bias idiots are suggesting that there will be riots if Obama loses! If Obama wins, it will be up to him to decide which road he will take. But, for the rest of us, each day we must have a plan B for love, life, living, and the pursuit of happiness that is not contingent on politic or any politicians!
I hope that Obama will have the courage to meet with Mrs Cindy Sheehan. If Obama win this election, then every young American death in Iraq after Jan 19 2009 will be on Obama and Democrats!
It is very sad, discouraging, and disheartening that great progressive Americans of strong and steadfast convictions and character like Bill Bradley, Dennis Kucinich, and John Mellencamp are relegated to only a supporting cast role for centrist/ moderately conservative/ fence-riding politicians like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton! America and the world needs a 180 degree change in direction not a Barack Obama’s candidacy that each day seems to be moving closer to the failed conservative policies of the past. Today, seeing the true character of Joe Lieberman and Geraldine Ferraro coming out, it is clear that God was correct in denying such individuals from using the Democrat platform to gain further influence and power. In this current election, I question the moral wisdom and implication of Barack Obama yielding to pressure from hypocritical, corrupt, ungodly, and racially conservative republicans in abandoning his church, "just to be president?" Obama, like republicans only mention the so-called middle class but rarely the poor! Obama may take up to 12 months or longer to end the occupation of Iraq only to move Bush’s killing to other parts of the world! Even though we all have seen that the large conglomerate control of business and financial industry doesn’t work, still Barack Obama and his advisers are not seeking universal access to health care but are still willing to leave the medial needs of poor Americans mostly to the insurance industry. Most working and poor American are broke and do not have a spare dime for health insurance; what part of this do politicians not understand? If being president and appeasing the power that be is more important to Obama than doing the new, different, and right thing, I wonder is once again God will let the devil, Republicans: Bush/McCain, have four more years rather than to allow a disingenuous Democrat to disappoint good and sincere Progressive Liberal Americans. If Obama win, will he meet with the "trickle down" conservative elite first or will he break from tradition and take the time to tour America and address his young progressive grass root supporters state by state? Trickle Down Pyramid Scheme has failed...will Obama dismantle it or continue to prop it up?
In politics, many democrats are just like republicans when it comes to telling the absolute/whole truth and nothing but the truth. Bill Clinton order a bombing attack on a suspected Bin Laden site that turned out to be pharmaceutical factory. This failed attack destroyed that factory and killed innocent civilians. In retaliation, Ben Laden used hijacked American planes to launch an air attack back on America that succeeded in killing over three thousand innocent Americans! Who started this cycle? Conservative republican, Pat Buchanan, has stated that if we were not over there then they would not be over here! Is this a lie or the truth coming from a conservative republican? Did Clinton with advice and urging from the inept and trigger-happy intelligence community incite Ben Laden into striking back at America again? When the native South Africans gained their independence from Apartheid, they turned the other cheek and reconciled for generations of oppression, torture, genocide, murder and the world applauded their humanity! Are Americans too superior and important to turn the other cheek and act like the South African people? When will Obama and Democrats have enough of Bush and republicans’ blood and vengeful killing?
All true progressive liberals are independent thinking individuals. As long as America’s politics are like pro wresting matches limited to democrats and republicans, the DNC and RNC as their promoters, and the major media networks acting as fake announcers and officials, then democracy and the democratic process will continue to be the sham that it is! Either I will vote for Barrack Obama or I will not vote for any presidential candidate! For me, a true progressive God fearing liberal, I find Barack Obama and his political machine to be a total disappointment, so if I vote for Obama, once again, it will only be a vain vote for the lesser of two evils.
Bill Clinton betrayed progressive liberal democrats more than any president before him did. Moreover, since Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter administrations there has been a growing and widening of the historical "Madison Dixon Divide" between true progressive democrats and southern democrats, e.g. Carter and Kennedy! Many of Clinton’s military actions and social polices, such as his attack on welfare/poor, and his foreign policies failure in Rwanda, etc were inspired by the racially conservative ideology of southern democrats like Jessie Helms and Strom Thurmond! Now there are many indications that Obama is going to be and act as Clinton to appease the powers that be, corporate/ elite America, and hostile conservative America. Obama like Clinton boasts of cutting welfare roles for the poor, yet he never mentions the poor or how they have been doing since he and Clinton cut them off welfare. Obama will take sixteen months to end the illegal occupation of Iraq and has expressed a wiliness to let those put in place by the Bush extend that end even longer if they see fit to do so? Then, in Bush so-called war on terror, Obama plan to continue the killing by only transferring America’s vindictive killing machine from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Its being reported that Obama plans to keep Bush appointee, William Gates, in place even though Gates was and advocate for the invasion of Iraq! It is reported that Obama will keep, as treasury Secretary, Bush appointee, Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. Obama is seeking advice and planning too many meeting with old Clinton and republicans left over. Form all early indication it appears that Obama will be just another fence riding Bill Clinton type democrat!
If Barack Obama should win this election, for all the "coalition of the just," who voted him in office, the battle will have just begun to keep Obama’s feet to the fire and to force him to keep his word to the people above and before the special interest of the corporate inside elite and republican warmongers. In addition, "Mr. President" Obama I would suggest that you take a walk with visionary artist like "Pink," speak with the Dixie Chicks, Cindy Sheehan, listen to the words of John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen. Obama should also speak with African American leaders to get a new perspective on reality and the truth of America! African Americans did not believe in the WMD lie and the necessity to invade Iraq! It were African Americans who were first to recognize that America was in recession!
