Barack “Changing Politics” Obama Now Supports Retroactive Immunity Compromise
What do you know, the politician is just a politician. I’m blogging from a mobile device so I’ll keep this short for now.
Let me tell you folks, his supporters are pissed.
Hopefully the good people at No Quarter can post more information on this, I simply can’t do it until I get to a real computer.


From the moment I heard him speak, everything about Obama set off my internal bullshit meter. Had he TRULY been an agent of change, he’d have run as an independent instead of taking cover under a party umbrella. So he failed from the outset.
Anyway, PLEASE add a “Contact us” feature when you can. I’m trying to get in touch with the woman from this site who appears on TV as its rep. I’ve asked the folks at the “central clearing house,” Just Say No Deal, to add a page where we HillCains, as I call us, can register to be counted. Want to coordinate efforts so that once the page is up, the reps from the various sites can plug it. on-air. We need a headcount to show people we mean business. Thanks!!

You “mean business”? Don’t we all? This must be a joke.
If you are a Hillary supporter, you are not a McCain supporter. If you are a Democrat but can’t support the Democratic candidate, you are a Republican. Just sign up, I’m sure they’d be glad to have you, as they’ve lost the thinking portion of their constituency.
Shouldn’t this make you happy?! Now you’ve got even more centrist thinking from the democratic candidate! And you are still not happy! lol
What a crock.
Anyhow, I know you’re angry I mean in the words of your leader, “It’s tough to be proud of America.” hahahahah.
I guess he has to get money from some where. It might as well be the phone companies.
Add to that the flip flop about talking to heads of state of terrorist countries with no pre-conditions
along with
His contradictory views on an undivided Jerusalem
with a pinch of his
Flip Flop on NAFTA,
this ill-explained reversal of his promise re: public financing are just ‘more of the same’ stuff that he claims to be running against.
Is this the same candidate that said Hillary Clinton “would do anything to win? Sounds like a bit of classic projection to me.
It also sounds like his truckload of BS about racism in America. First he identified himself as ‘the black candidate’ by saying “I don’t want to be identified as the black candidate” before anyone else even brought that into the dialogue. Then, when Bill Clinton responded to that, he accused Clinton of being racist.
Then, he has his surrogates (like Spike Lee) inject racism into a phony fight only to have him say “I’m going to take the high road and not argue this. Peace and Love” before the people they accused of being racist had a chance to respond. Yeah, we all missed that (ROTFL)
I think the American public (along with many of his own supporters, barring Christina and other hard core Kool Aid junkies) are beginning to see that this phony is nothing more than an ordinary, garden variety politician. The same kind of animal he said (and incredibly still claims) to be running against..
Sounds like Barack is believing his own PR and can’t smell his own BS.
I like that. It’s great for America to see this fraud showing his true colors. I can’t wait to hear what he comes up with next week.
BARACK OBAMA IS A PHONY. So far, he has exhibited all of the traits he claims to be running to ‘change’. Yeah, ‘change we can believe in”.
Obama accused bill Clinton of being a racist? Can you provide a link to that please?
He talks to Spike Lee? Can you please provide a link for that as well? Anyone with a brain knows that Spike Lee is a RACIST. He was one before Obama he will remain one AFTER Obama. Kind of like Haggard and Hagee.
What are his “contradictory” views on Jerusalem? Or his flip-flop of NAFTA…. you mean like Hillary’s?
Obama is still a senator- he doesn’t WANT Telecom immunity, he openly opposes it, but can he REALLY do anything to make sure this doesn’t happen?
He WILL BE the president, but he isn’t the president yet. Let’s slow down sparky.
I already gave you a link to the Spike Lee info in a previous post. Get off your flabby ass and link to it again.
If you want to know about Bill Clinton and Obama’s claims that he is racist, check any link with that reference to the S. Carolina primary.
I’m not going to do your grunt work for you
The guy is toast. Has been for weeks, and even more so now that he’s believing his own bullshit.
LMAO. He’s toast? As he is ahead 15 points?!
You are so ass backwards! But, I know you are bitter about this news, I mean like John McCain said- “It’s tough to be proud of America!”
I am well aware of the S. Carolina primary and again, I challenge you to quote Barack calling Bill Clinton a racist!
I also challenge you to post how Obama and spike lee are connected! Or how Obama had Spike Lee say something so typically spike lee!
But you cant do it because like always you are just jabber-jawing without any real evidence to support your bitching and moaning.
Yeah, don’t you also love how Hillary is going to be campaigning with Barack next week?! Rubbing a little salt in her “supporters’”wounds, eh?
Also, how is that “commercial” with my quote coming? Is it on youtube yet? lol. Remember, my WHOLE NAME.
ahead 15 points (maybe in his own poll, but not among Independents or former Clinton supporters). That’s pretty lame, my little ugly, even for you.
get off your ass and provide your own proof. All you do is shriek nonsensical denials that have no foundation in reality.
Nobody said anything about commercial, by the way, except you.
Fuck off, troll. You’re toast as well
wow anthony seems bitter
i guess obama was right!
OBAMA ‘08
Paul, you forgot to call me a racist.
Aren’t you guys supposed to be sucking up to us? OBAMA is done.
i don’t need to suck up to you- the general election is gonna be a landslide victory for the democrats.
but i will laugh at you for supporting someone who’s platform is a 180 from hillary’s
C’mon “Paul”, you can do better than that.
I know all of you bots are swilling Kool AId like there’s no tomorrow, but if you really want to insult, try to scare or convert those of us in our right minds, you have to work up a little bit more of a sweat.
Face it: Obama needs our support. Even in his most arrogant moment, he knows that despite the MSM’s claims that he is getting support from all of us is a lie, and so do you. However, I love the new arrogance, ie his new seal, flip-flopping on several issues, and forgetting to instruct his minions to back up their talking points with facts.
Now, if you want my vote, work for it. But never forget that simply because he needs us means that e shouldn’t be running in the first place.
Try again. So far, you’re batting zero
i don’t want your vote; frankly, i don’t give two shits who you vote for.
i’m just here to laugh at the idiots who flip to mccain when he is voting against everything hillary fought for. Im still waiting for you to respond to this point big boy.
You don’t get it. McCain’s the better of the two by far. Now that Clinton has been sandbagged, there’s only one choice for sane people. And believe me, it’s not Obama
please explain how he is better when he is against 99.99 % of your first candidate.
im talking about the platform (obviously)
It’s a character issue
yes, voting on character!
BUSH: the guy you fuckers thought you could have a beer with! Look where that got us!
McCain- the cuddly old grandpa who can’t remember where he stands on issues and thinks it’s tough to be proud of America! Yes, this is SURE to be a formula for success! What character McCain has!
hahahahah
Oh Christina you have a big dissapointment coming to you after the convention. They have a big bombshell dropped on him,one he can’t lie out of and can’t go to the rev wright to pull him out of.
christina summed it up
No, she didn’t. She’s just babbling her usual hysterical bullshit when a substantive criticism is brought to light. that strikes a nerve. It’s a diversionary tactic that most of you trolls try to use.
Obama has exhibited character deficiencies during the primary elections and since that show many of us that he is not fit to be POTUS. He is doing the same thing that Bush (the last liar that claimed to be a ‘uniter’) did. If the two of you can’t see that, then you’re both fucked, which saves me the trouble of telling the pair of you to go fuck yourselves
I am using a diversionary tactic?
Did I change the subject? NO.
I stayed on subject, therefore- NO I did NOT use a “diversionary tactic.”
Once more- actually- LIKE ALWAYS, you’re wrong.
you want to vote for McCain because of character. What a stupid move! I pointed out why it is a stupid move(i.e. BUSH). And because you know I am right- you attack, attack, attack. like Hillary’s pal Roger Stone!
The only deficiency Obama has exhibited is his FLIP-FLOP on FISA! But this should make you “centrists” and “independents”..err REPUBLICANS happy! He is supporting YOUR party’s idea! So now you have even MORE in common with him! GREAT!
This is ONE flip-flop compared to MCCain’s 12! I suggest you write the McCain campaign and tell him to double his ginko biloba dosage.
Do you know what “denial” is? Hint: it is NOT a river in Eygpt.
It is what YOU succumb to when faced with FACT. Deny, deny, deny, SPIN.
Christina.
I must point out that whenever something factual shows up on these (or other) pages that does not paint Obama the Great Liar as anything other than god-like, you resort to knee-jerk, contradictory, borderline manic. hysterical outbursts that completely destroy your credibility.
Above, I simply stated “it;s a character issue”. You, in your insane response, brought up GWB, whom I did not vote for, and his dismal record as the worst president America ever had. Those, by the way, have been my words about Bush since day one.
What one thing has to do with the other is beyond me, but in true troll-like fashion, and also exactly like your candidate of choice and his racist pig of a wife, you choose to ignore the more pragmatic approach of asking directly what these issues might be and defending them logically. Instead, you launch into a defensive diatribe that has nothing to do with my statement.
It is people like you that exemplify Barack Obama’s ‘old politics’ tactics, although his ‘words’ say otherwise.
Actions speak louder than words, Christina, and Obama’s words have been in complete contradiction to his actions and tactics, thereby characterizing him as exactly what he is: just one more sleazy politician claiming to be the only one who can deliver us from his own brand of politics. And you, Christina, have proven yourself to be nothing more than a Kool Aid swilling troll who would march in lock step with an unprepared, inexperienced, racist, devious albeit charismatic charlatan who would say anything to appear in a positive light.
You protest too much, Christina, only to the utter demise of your own credibility as well as the dubious ethical standard of the candidate you support, who, in spite of his claims to bring change to politics has only delivered (through his actions) just more of the same that GWB has brought us.
I fully expect another hysterical outburst from you about this post, along with a failed attempt to re-direct the conversation to something other than the obvious character flaws Barack Obama has revealed. But the truth is that those of us who do not go blindly into the tank for any politician can see through that, and any hope you have of changing our minds or putting even more lipstick on that pig of a presumptive nominee is going to fall short.
Your efforts have been and will continue to be in vain, and the only accomplishment you can look forward to accomplishing with such shrewish outbursts will be the certain defeat of Barack Obama, the Pretender to the Throne.
Really? Because this long, drawn out reply is NOT in the LEAST manic, correct? lol
I do not resort to knee-jerk remarks, and I find it laughable coming from the person who says they are making a 527 with my name in it. Talk about manic!
You mcCainiacs are too sensitive. I am not a surrogate for the Obama campaign so no, I don’t exemplify anything but a person who hates republicans. You Hill cronies are too hell bent on trying to justify your ignorance that you blame strangers on the internet for your indignation. How strikingly bright of you! NOT.
I could be pretending all together, you wouldn’t even know. IN FACT- I am a member of hillaryclintonforum, and they happen to LOVE me over there lol. So long as someone on the internet fits your slimy agenda, all is well, correct?
You wanted to talk about character, I gave a legitimate, PERFECT example as to how voting on character has failed in the past- you know I am right, so you resorted to this type of bamboonery. Not my problem.
deflect, deny, take responsibility for nothing, attack! This is how you McCainiacs live your life. What a tough America to be proud of, just like McCain said! haha
Making a 527 with your name on it? legitimate perfect example of voting for character? You’re in a little trouble, Christina. I don’t know where you dream this stuff up……
Have you ever been checked for Asperger syndrome?
It may help you out with this delusional thing you seem to go through so often.
Anthony,
THANK YOU!!
*has a full-on crush*
having autism and being delusional (which christina is not) are not mutually exclusive you dumb fuck
Jerk off-
Here’s something I cut and pasted about Aspergers syndrome. Sounds like Christina to me.
Speech may convey a sense of incoherence; the conversational style often includes monologues about topics that bore the listener, fails to provide context for comments, or fails to suppress internal thoughts. Individuals with AS may fail to monitor whether the listener is interested or engaged in the conversation. The speaker’s conclusion or point may never be made, and attempts by the listener to elaborate on the speech’s content or logic, or to shift to related topics, are often unsuccessful.
Hope this wised you up, you stupid motherfucker
more projection from Anthony. Why are you so insecure? Daddy complex?
If my “monologues” bored you, then you wouldn’t bother replying!
You said you were going to quote me in some commercial to help the McCain campaign- this is called a 527. Those were -essentially- your words.
You also said your vote for McCain was a “character” thing. I proved beyond a reasonable doubt why voting on the basis of “character” is not a smart thing to do. This made you angry and caused you to start attacking blindly, like the true republican you are.
Good day!
I’ll try to be patient with you, Christina, because apparently you can’t keep a grasp on reality while you write.
I replied explicitly to try to get you on track to focus and answer some of my questions rather than respond with nonsensical rants, as is your consistent tactic. Very transparent, very boring. I know there must be a brain in there somewhere, so I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt…….
Re: the 527, it was (is) about your post that said “patriotism is bullshit”, which is very telling. It had nothing to do with your name. I have no interest in helping you procure your personal 15 minutes, but your words about patriotism mirror your candidate’s behavior. That has been and will continue to be brought public. Thanks for that gift.
Lastly, character and like-ability are two different things. For instance, I don’t particularly like McCain. I don’t particularly dislike him either. I am not looking for a buddy or charismatic speaker to occupy the Oval Office. I would hope that our next President (McCain, to be sure) would be busy enough to not care if he was liked or not. That is the difference between character and like-ability, so now you know.
McCain’s character is superior to Obama’s, because he has proven that his best interests lie in managing a country that is badly in need of true leadership. Obama, on the other hand, has consistently said things that sound wonderful and altruistic, yet does the complete opposite, ie whatever would aggrandize him rather than prove that he could be a responsible Commander in Chief. Also his ’superior judgement’ just plain sucks (Johnson, Ayers, Wright, Pfleger, and last but not least, Michelle). I shudder to think who would’ve been appointed in his cabinet.
As far as trying to guess my political affiliation, you are, as usual, wrong on that. This and a few of your other ungrounded accusations are proof enough of your psychological deficiency.
more lengthy monologues that do nothing to affirm why someone would support McCain. Not just republicans- ANYONE- why would ANYONE support McSame?
He is Bush lite! What good has bush done in the white house?No child left behind? haha.
Even Bush knows he’s a complete disgrace to the office, his excuse, ” I was misunderstood.” Yes bushie bushie- simply misunderstood. ::Laugh::
Now, you are saying the same thing that was said about Bush in ‘00. “He has character and integrity.”
Well look where that got this country- into the largest deficit in the history of America, and illegal occupation in Iraq, no advancements for women in ANY aspect at all, MORE supreme court justices appointed, tax cuts for 2% of Americans and corporations who happen to already be WEALTHY, nations who abhor the US, increased animosity with Iran, more americans without health insurance, a housing crisis, and Bush/Cheney dancing with the Saudis while we pay almost 4.50 a gallon! Yes, that character and integrity, it got us SO far!
Chtistina, you’re ranting again. And once again, you are injecting your own ideas of what I say and what I mean into your answers. You can assume all you want, but that doesn’t mean it’s factual. As far as I’m concerned, your mission is more important to you than actually addressing issues. You seem unable to do this without hyperbole, so I’m giving up on you.
Also, still not a word about Obama’s fucked up judgement or how his campaign is duplicitous and only serves to be a vehicle for his political ambition and nothing else. You’ve not mentioned Johnson, Ayers, Pfleger or Wright, or even that ridiculous seal that he invented and then had the nerve to say “I didn’t realize it was on the front of my podium”. Was that another take on “It wasn’t the seal (preacher, friend, associate) I know”? Yeah, I’ll trust him to run the country………
You are truly hopeless. Not worth responding to in the future.
Why should I mention pfleger, wright, or ayers? they serve as nothing more than pawns in the GOPs scare campaign that you have so heavily bought into. Yes, Obama, a Chicago politician, knew the very top tier figures in Chicago! Oh no!
Why should I care about Wright- wright isn’t going to have the power to appoint someone to tell me if I remain to have power over my body or not. Why should I care about Wright? Because he went off the deep end 4 times out of a 30 year pastoral? Was Obama in the pews when Wright spoke these words? NO. So, again, why do I care? Obama denounced wright, the church, and the words…
why should I care about Ayers- it was hillary’s husband who commuted the sentences for the people who were actually CONVICTED of the weatherman bombings- that seems more like bad judgment to me than anything Obama has done; like attend some dinner that he didnt plan, where Oh NO Ayers, a now respected philanthropist and educator, was. Or serve on some charitable board. Was obama supposed to let people starve because Ayers was there?
Why should I care about Pfleger- some whackjob pastor who guest spoke at a church when Obama wasn’t there.
This doesn’t say anything about Obama’s judgment.
No more than McCain calling Cindy a cunt.
Johnson- You are actually trying to say Larry Johnson- A CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEER- did something wrong or that it shows obama’s bad judgment? Let me guess, you have never gone into your friends job and gotten something for free because they worked there, right? So what- he paid for his loan- they cut him a deal.. Okay.
McCain top advisers lobby for Iran- MUCH WORSE.
Obama’s integrity and character, if this is your voting stance, is 100 times better than McCain’s.
I dont care if you reply to me or not- truly.
still, no substantive answer.
Those you pass off as inconsequential are to a large degree the people Obama surrounds himself with.
Why do I go on? You’re out of your mind.
Fuck you
No- it was a kick ass answer to a stupid question, and I owned your ass- like always.
Obama does Not SURROUND himself with these fools. And has Obama done anything that would somehow insinuate that these people are substantive to Obama’s campaign, policy, or LIFE in any way?! NO. I would like to see you drum up some spin as to how Obama knowing these people are dangerous or even relevant.
I will even give you Wright because Obama “stayed in the church for 20 years.” which doesnt matter to me as Black liberation theology is a form of Christianity and Trinity Church does amazing things for the inner-city of Chicago.
But okay, if you want to piss on an 8,000 member congregation that helps the homeless, poor, and elderly because of 4 clips FOX looped- that’s on you. I don’t really care who goes to church, but if you want to talk churches..
Parsley is a whackjob too, who thinks America was founded on the principal to destroy islam. Who cares about that though, right? Because Parsley is the pastor to an “american hero with integrity and character.” And Haggard, an outted meth-user and gay who advocates the disenfranchisement of homosexuals, is spiritual advisor to Bush, but who cares about that- correct? lol
So take this little gem, and PROVE that Ayers, Johnson, and Pfleger are substantive.
What’s the matter, more bitterness because I shot your idiotic “character” voting down?! lol
So far, all I can read are your own psycho opinions, and the standard frantic damage control options of the Obama campaign.. All to no avail, troll. The company one keeps for years has an awful lot to say about their character, especially if they’re trying (in vain) to convince us to vote them into the White House. Grow up.
My favorite line; “I will even give you Wright because Obama “stayed in the church for 20 years.” which doesnt matter to me as Black liberation theology is a form of Christianity and Trinity Church does amazing things for the inner-city of Chicago”
The Catholic priests who abused young boys for years are also Christian. Their churches also “helps the homeless, poor, and elderly
I completely denounce them, as well. I have no tolerance for radical theologians who believe they have a right to influence legislation or policy. The church, any church, has no place in politics. Especially something so radical as Black Liberation Theology. It’s as bad as any radical sect of Islam.
Now, go ahead and call me a racist. You’re talking out of your ass, Christina. And this “Adopt a Troll” program is for the birds. You have no mind of your own, Christina.
The line about Catholic priests should not be italicized. That kind of independent thinking is not possible for the author of the post I’m responding to.
Those are my feelings, indicating that rather than protect the organization at any cost, there are some events that just cannot be condoned or supported by decent people. The same goes for the sleazy tactics of the Obama campaign
ONE. Catholic priests are not Christian. ahahaha.
TWO. Trinity didn’t abuse little boys. hahaha.
THREE. Abusing little kids and criticizing America are completely different!
One is illegal- the other is not…. though the right would like to make BOTH illegal.
Talking out of my ass? PROVE IT.
My “psycho opinions” are derivative of FACT. everything I said about churches is TRUE. Parsley said those things, and Haggard DID those things. So, to be fair, you should denounce McCain AND Bush.
Theology is NOT radical. And it is definitely not as radical as radical sects of Islam! Theology is no more radical than “the family.” You know- that group Hillary belongs to.
And you STILL know I’m right about voting on character and you STILL know I’ right that these “acquaintances” are not substantive to Obama’s life, campaign, or policy!
FACE IT- you lose.
You want to see a video?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GEtZlR3zp4c
I apologize. I thought you said Catholic priests Are NOT Christian and mean to say Catholic priests ARE Christian.
Catholic Priests ARE Christian.
Christina, that’s just “more of the same” from you.
At some point, I hope you find it more valuable to honestly admit and debate your candidates shortcomings than simply deny them and try to convince me and others that they’re non-existent.
Then, and only then, will you have the credibility to be taken seriously
Congratulations folks, we just made the Financial Times!!!!
“Angry diehards snub Clinton call for unity”
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c55bda52-42c7-11dd-81d0-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1
It get’s better!!! Watch the video clip poste on JustSay No:
http://www.justsaynodeal.com/action.html
I think this video accurately sums up the Obama tactics that we’ve all had the opportunity to observe, despite his false claims to be inclusive, a uniter, bring us a ‘new kind of politics’, etc.
Despite the futile (and loud) noise his supporters make to try and drown out the truth by using cut and paste quips and irrational explanations about why we should actually trust him, the truth is public information that can be easily accessed. In short, this man cannot be trusted to even tell the truth (or at least, try a little harder to hide the fact that he’s screwing us), let alone be POTUS.
Obama has successfully divided his own party, and as a registered Independent voter, I have no stake in loyalty to the Neo-Lib Dems, who in my opinion, are behaving as deviously as the Neo-Con branch of the GOP.
Here, Here—I second all that you said! I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the trolls, they’re paid bloggers and they get paid to be everywhere, McCain’s blog, AOL Straw Poll, here everywhere. Not to worry about these early made up polls—they’re made up!!!! Newsweek, LA Times—puleeeze…..spare me…..
Agreed, about both polls and trolls, but you have to admit that trolls are an awful lot of fun to play with. All that self-importance, the endless and strident shrew-like shrieking of the latest ‘talking points’, pontificating ad nauseam about the purity of their fatally flawed Messiah, and last but not least, that dreary refusal to even research facts. Bless their hearts.
Every now and then, it’s good for the soul to engage one or two, just to let them believe they’re being taken seriously. Keeps ‘em off the street.
Now I gotta admit, this one is a little weird:
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/national/politics/2008/view.bg?articleid=1102692&srvc=rss
It’s only the first of many who will be coming forward soon. Thank God.
I am a Mccain supporter,was a democrat until they got so far out of reality. I just can’t vote for a man that has lied his way out of all the problems that has come his way so (far).Just wait until after the democratic convention in August. There will be something come up that he cannot lie out of and his rev.and father can’t get him out of. Hate to dissapoint the Obama hopefuls,but they may as well get use to the idea.
Obamas change, should he get in office I can see change, we will have pennies, nickles,dimes,quarters,instead of dollars.
if it weren’t for his incredible lack of experience, his horrifying judgement, his constant lying and obnoxious wife, his supporters alone would make me not vote for him.
they worry me worse that he does.
yowza.
and to Christina… just SHUT UP already. good lord woman, no one cares…..
Anthony sure seems to- so why don’t you crawl back up larry johnson’s ass now- self-deprecating fool.
Hillary would spit on you.
Stop taking my name in vain, Troll.
Quit while you’re ahead
The primary is over. Barack Obama has won. That’s old news.
The problem is that many Clinton supports have been reluctant to get with the program. Take Wisconsin DNC delegate Debra Bartoshevich for instance. She said Thursday. “I believe that Hillary is the better candidate of all of them.” I appreciate Ms. Bartoshevich’s opinion. Hell, I might have even agreed with her at one point. But that time is long past.
Anyone who supported Hillary Clinton did so because of several reasons – including but not limited to – her outstanding positions on issues such as universal health care, ending the war in Iraq and restoring America’s standing in the world. Well, news flash! Barack Obama shares just about every one of those positions.
Another factor, of course, is Hillary’s womanhood. A lot of people think it’s high time we had a women president. I agree. It’s a shame the country has gone so long without a leader representing more than half the country’s population. Hillary’s fans are angry and upset that Obama knocked out the opportunity to let a woman run the show. True, there will not be a Democratic women president come November. Well, I hate to break it to them, but John McCain is also not a woman.
So, unless those supporters have radically changed their positions – how can they justify voting for John McCain? He shares just about nothing in common with Hillary Clinton. But MSNBC’s Howard Finemen reported today Clinton’s donors are wary of sending money Barack Obama’s way. A recent AP poll showed 23% of Hillary voters do not support Obama either.
Why? Do they no longer support universal heath care? Have they switched on Iraq and now advocate staying for 100 years? Do they support more tax cuts for the mega-rich? How about more conservative justices on the already extremely right-leaning Supreme Court?
Political passion runs rampant these days. After 8 years of George Bush, it’s amazing to see so many people still engaged in the process. 18 million people felt strongly enough about fixing this country to vote for Hillary Clinton in the primary season. Now they are bitter their candidate lost. Losing sucks, no doubt. But, you know, four more years of Bush – McCain politics sucks way more.
So unless you flip-flopped on every important issue… unless you no longer care about getting this country in shape… unless you want four more years…
It’s time for unity.

Then there is my own issue. Competence. The economy. Getting the job done. I voted for Bill’s third term to be honest. Hillary and Bill are different, but I have no doubt they were a team. They got us out of one Bush recession.
Experience matters, and I am not going to take a risk on a less than one term senator, just as I did not take a risk on a one and one half term governor with weak powers back in 2000. Bush was in way over his head, and even he has more experience than Obama.
You are just an absolute shame plz do us a favor and save the world from another fucking republican. shut this shameful weblog down as well.
regards
from Canada
“So, unless those supporters have radically changed their positions – how can they justify voting for John McCain?”
I can only presume to speak only for myself, so I can only justify my own decision. I supported Hillary Clinton because of her centrist position and leadership ability, as well as her track record.
Of the two contenders left for POTUS, McCain remains the only trustworthy choice. I don’t agree with some of his policies, but I didn’t agree with all of Clinton’s ideas either.
My vote is for my country, not a political party. Upon examination, Barack Obama’s track record is dubious at best, non-existent at worst. His style of politics is far more reminiscent of the Bush Administration than McCain or Clinton’s (divisive, dishonest, long term association with unsavory people, and poor judgement). In short, I do not trust Barack Obama to lead America.
As far as citizens of other countries who call to “shut this shameful weblog down as well”, I say to either move to America, get a job, pay your federal, state and local taxes and establish citizenship so you may exercise your right as an American citizen to vote. Otherwise, the 2008 election is none of your concern.
I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I am a ticket splitter who votes for the person over the party. I voted for Reagan twice and Bill Clinton twice because they were competent individuals who did good jobs. I have no party loyalty and do not like political parties.
Barack Obama is the democrats version of George W Bush. They are empty suits with nothing but marketing and slogans. In 2000 it was change…a uniter not a divider…compassionate conservatism…reformer with results. I see much of the same with this “new kind of politics.” I see the same arrogance from Mr. Obama as I do with Mr. Bush. I do not need a clone of Mr. Bush in the White House.
My first choice for president was Bill Richardson. My second choice was Hillary Clinton. They are the two most competent people running. John McCain was my third choice. I don’t agree with everything any of the candidate propose, but I like people who get things done. Bill Clinton got things done despite a Republican congress. Bill Richardson and Hillary Clinton got things done. John McCain got things done despite a hostile president. That is what I am looking for. Substance, not flash.
Oh so you like people who will gets things done, they just happen to be things that democrats dont agree with! makes sense!
NOT.
Am I to understand that Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson and Hillary Clinton, who were cited in the post “got things done that Democrats don’t agree with?”
Hmmmmmmm… that’s a new one. Care to explain?
