I like your writing style when you discuss politics. I was a Hillar supporter, but have come to not appreciate her as much as I did in the past do to her acceptance of the Secretary of State position in the Obama administration. I no longer view her in quite the same way. I don't wish her any bad, but I am disappointed in her.<BR/> <BR/>I am a registered Democrat in Florida, but I am going to drop my party membership soon. I am disgusted with the current Democratic party, and I find my moderate self being drawn to a more conservative train of thought. I agree that Sarah Palin was maligned in much the same way that Hillary Clinton was. I have come to respect Sarah more so than Hillary. In a Sarah versus Hillary contest, I would support Sarah, and that is a big change for me. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I read the comment above from the Obama supporter. I pay no mind to their mindless chatter. Most of them are rather pathetic in my book. The fact is that they helped elect a big zero, and one can never obtain anything from nothing. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes.nomobamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987128.post-33877420116682943402009-03-14T13:05:00.000-07:002009-03-14T13:05:00.000-07:00Obama-non?

Fun read.<BR/><BR/>Well, they wouldn't be able to complete step 8 because the list of people they've harmed by voting for His Noxious Incompetence is endless. Nor step 9. Even if there were some kind of moral corrective for their actions, and there isn't, it would escape their notice because...well, they voted for him.

Also, I've found them to be pretty broad minded folks, unlike many other so-called left wing blogs. But I agree that a lot of the signs came down simply because it's time to move on.<BR/><BR/>I really didn't give a damn about the Whitey tapes except insofar as they might have helped derail Obama and, frankly, I think Obama's visit to Hawaii wasn't to garner sympathy but was a cover for him to make sure his birth certificate issue was buried good and deep. I had no interest in the color purple flap, so I don't know what that's about.<BR/><BR/>I do have conspiracy theories, however, and I'm writing about some of them (coming soon to a blog near you). I think there was a vast corporate media conspiracy to elect Obama and as a result of that conspiracy virtually no investigative reporting was done on Obama, I think it's very disturbing that Obama was able to raise 1 billion dollars to, essentially, buy the Presidency - see the September numbers (better than $150 million), look at the deliberate lack of security and lack of verification on the Obama donations website and ask yourself where the money came from. I think he ran a racist, sexist campaign and doesn't deserve to be dogcatcher. And, of course, there's more, much much more. <BR/><BR/>But you don't even need conspiracy theories, nor do you need to listen to my admittedly biased opinions - just look at what's happening, look at fumbling, bumbling amateur hour reality of the Obama administration.<BR/>Then ask yourself how we could have done worse.<BR/><BR/>Which of course leads us to McCain. Would he be my first choice? No, I wanted Hillary (btw, the only bright spot in O's administration running an interestingly separate Foreign Policy Presidency - Samantha Powers and Susan Rice must be frothing at the mouth to get their shivs into her). But McCain had some sterling qualities that you apparently missed: he is an honest man - as Obama is not, which we knew and you are just starting to find out. McCain is also a true reformer (example: the McCain-Feingold act), pretty much the last thing that Wall Street and the transnational corporations (where the campaign money comes from) wanted - btw did you know that all the big corporate and Wall Street money that normally goes to Republicans went to Obama this election? Why is that, do you think?<BR/><BR/>Last, I think you have been bamboozled by the corporate press on Ms. Palin. After the blatant woman-hating vilification of Hillary during the primaries by the press, they started right in on Sarah Palin with the exact same tactics - and apparently no one noticed. Hatchet job 'interviews', blatant woman-hating screeds, "Sarah Palin is a C**t" teeshirts. I guess this stuff was Ok because the press wouldn't try character assassination on a vice presidential candidate in order to sway an election, would they? And you think the NQ folks are 'conspiracy mongering smear merchants', look to your own house, David.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is: I don't agree with Ms Palin's personal beliefs nor do I agree with most of her political positions but when she was first asked about the abortion issue her answer showed that she clearly understood the difference between personal belief and the responsibility of an elected official to enforce the law - and that's the important thing, don't you think? <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Craig<BR/>0Craig Della Pennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088316749384519019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987128.post-39756667723102283172009-03-12T02:40:00.000-07:002009-03-12T02:40:00.000-07:00Hey Craig:Maybe the reason yard signs and bumperst...Hey Craig:<BR/><BR/>Maybe the reason yard signs and bumperstickers are disappearing and people are no longer canvassing for Obama is that the election has been over for 4 months now and people have resumed their normal lives. People who have normal lives that is. <BR/><BR/>You NQ denizens are on shaky ground pointing the cultist label at anyone as you hang out with conspiracy mongering smear merchants, the folks who brought you the whitey tape hoax and who write posts that Obama's electon eve deathbed visit to his grandmother was a cynical ploy for sympathy. By the by, please point out to "Susan UnPC" that Michelle and Hillary were BOTH wearing purple, the "color of privilege and royalty" at Women's History Day.<BR/><BR/>Finally, you want to convince anyone they made a mistake voting for Obama, then make the case that the alternative, the cranky senescent know-nothing and his snowmobile queen running mate, would be doing any better.<BR/><BR/>David Borthwick, dbborthwick@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
