The point is Obama must be supported so he CAN have a chance of being elected. Do you not see the media bias that fell in place as soon as he became a viable candidate?
Isn't it (and hasn't it been for ages) bash Obama 24/7? Did it quit today? Now they can add one more to the litany: What's wrong with Obama's Fundraising?
There are reasons for and against the FISA bill but it is done and under an Obama adminstration we have a shot at it being revisited, but if there is a McCain administration, you can bet your a** that it will stand and it WILL be used exactly like Bush has used it.
There are more issues that you agree with on Obama than you disagree. I like the faith-based assistance.I've worked in community church-sponsored programs, they can use the targeted funds. It goes directly where there is need. But--- a lot of you don't. I could make other distinctions, however, Barack is the best candidate that has come around in a long time, and is the best candidate for us at this time in the US.
Do you not think had he voted any other way what a handoff to his opponents that would have been? Becuase black folk are not patriotic, didn't you know? (See, he didn't vote to intercept harmful telecommunications! He must be Muslim!) He's already fighting that battle. And here he is trying to bring as many people into this big tent called the Democratic party and all y'all can do is WHINE.
Think about the folks out here losing their homes, watching their 401Ks dwindle, jobs leaving, held hostage to ever rising gas prices (with all alternative initiatives designed to remain oil-dependent by the current occupant), and seeing our treasure and CHILDREN wasted. You know our boys and girls died in Iraq to bring safety for OIL companies, and military bases, any thing else was incidental. War profiteering abounds. Just do a search. It's unreal.
Small (and large) businesses and individuals are dying under the crunch of healthcare. Jobs are leaving now and what do you think will happen under McSame? Repugs don't care, they've got theirs, you get yours.
Did you hear what McSame said about Social Security? And this is who you will roll over and vote for? Or " I just won't vote,then" or " I'll think about donating when he shows me more" WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO SEE? He's trying to build a coalition and you all are pouting because it doesn't look like you! Look around you, people. Because if you are not helping, if you are not emailing broadcast companies about their obvious bias and drawing attention to it, if you are not talking to your family, friends, loved (and not so loved) ones about how important it is to have a democratic president, and if you are not DONATING then YOU are voting for McSame and for all the thing I wrote above.
To the ones hoping that Hillary will be nominated in Denver instead of Barack...she has no machine ready to go. Most of her campaign staff has left for greener pastures. A switch at this point would be surely be handing the election to McSame. And we can see that the DNC is being held hostage by big money donors...that is apparent.
So, you just sit down and think in your heart of hearts..and then go to your keyboards, email the broadcast media, call them out on their biased reporting (this has to be done over and over for them to notice) and realize THIS is a BIG TENT...but it is just the tent we need for change. If not for you, then for our children. It's bigger than you think.
