Something that should be played to both of the campaigns, every day

A heartfelt opinion of an old man, sorry Bob.

Is It Bad to Be Popular?

Bud — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:29:44 EDT

Republicans are now criticizing Barack Obama because he is so popular. The new John McCain TV commercial juxtaposes Obama with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Republicans explain this juxtaposition by saying that celebrities like Hilton and Spears are vacuous, so voters should not vote for popular people.

Today, Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R - New Mexico) said that Brooks & Dunn are popular C&W singers, but we should not put them in the Oval Office; and THEREFORE, voters should not vote for the popular Barack Obama.

What kind of twisted logic is that?????????

The McCain campaign realizes that it is losing to Obama, so it has adopted the spaghetti method. They throw a new argument against the wall, and hope that it sticks.

Gee! McCain has actually complimented Obama VERY highly!...Has McCain been tested for dementia? Is he willing to be?

Obama has been such an extremely genuine candidate. I "read" people extremely well as it is a "gift" of many that God gave me of extra sensory perception.

With these "ads" about being a "celebrity"? ALL I CAN picture (I am a freelance photographer) is McCain throwing a "temper tamtrum"...ie; "Sniff-sniff... He is getting ALL the attention! Why am I not getting this type of attention? I am "McCain"! I was on T.V. on a late night show! I was FUNNY TOO! I WASN"T EVEN "THINKING ABOUT EVEN BEING A PRESIDENT!" (so he said....)

I see McCain as a child that will play whatever childish games can be played to get attention. The "celebrity" ad? That is as childish as it gets...

Why is Obama getting a LOT of attention?... It is all because we have had Bush in the White House for 8 years and have seen him almost EVERYDAY on television with the same old stories. McCain is almost like a "fratenal" twin of Bush. There is the answer. Why does anyone even WANT to hear the SAME thing Bush has already done? It is not "news" BECAUSE it is not "NEW".

I genuinely believe that the ONLY people that could even WANT McCain in the White House are the ones who have turned a blind eye to Bush's screw-ups. (hard headed republicans) and way to "proud" to have that "name".)

Anyone who hasn't noticed but it seems that some of "Obama's" ideas on the war in Iraq are NOW being used by the "White House" Gee! Obama IS a great leader!... Bad part is that the "republicans" are wanting to take credit....

I admit, I voted for Bush. BUT, at that time he did seem less "wishy-washy" yet I found that "underneath" it all was an ulterior motive for his OWN personal gain, along with his staff of course.

I HAVE to get this off my chest and I mean nothing disrespectful by my "choice of words"... I am sick and tired of the McCain campaign screaming "race-card". I am white, female. I do NOT see Obama as "black" or "white"... "OREO" is the word. (that was not an insult by any means) A good slang possibly for this situation though. My son is dating a girl who's Dad is Haitian and her mother is from Arkansas. She is a beautiful girl! WHY is McCain always wanting to bring up "RACE" when it should NOT even be mentioned. When it IS mentioned it only brings up the fact that some people will NOT get PAST "racism"... Obama is neither black nor white. He is Obama. A person of sincere integrity and genuine enthusiasm to do whatever is necessary to make this WHOLE world a better place. We are ALL ONE people and we DO need CHANGE.

Obama has parents of a black and white color. Why is Obama referred to as "BLACK"? He is a "person" with great intelligence. The trip overseas? I think it was a GREAT idea given the fact that Obama wanted to be able to say that he "first handedly" experienced other countries. Now? McCain cannot say Obama has no experience in foreign policies. Obama comes across to me that EVERY human being in this world has to be given a "chance". Again.. We ARE all ONE people. Obama put his life at risk just to give these foreigners a "chance" that has NOT been even given by MOST other presidents. I applaud that. Obama may not be able to break some bad habits or ways of life of these foreign countries BUT at least he IS willing to try. How else are we ever going to have the dream of "world peace"?

I know that Obama is very genuine and also that McCain is playing "schoolyard" games but I know Obama will come through. If I were to give "down to earth" advice to Obama? It would be this:

Don't let the old croney get on your nerves. Then he will accomplish what he is set out to do. Since he is acting in a childish nature (he REALLY does need to get psycho-analyzed and checked for dementia... SERIOUSLY! I hope that it can be arranged.) Have the attitude that "sticks and stones will break my bones... but words will never hurt me" type attitude. Not that you ever have or ever will but never lower yourself with political ads to "get back" at him. He already looks foolish. (Brittany and Paris? come on!) YES! Obama IS a celebrity actually and THAT was an extreme compliment! I looked up the words definition: Noun1.celebrity - a widely known person; "he was a baseball celebrity" famous person immortal - a person (such as an author) of enduring fame; "Shakespeare is one of the immortals"important person, influential person, personage - a person whose actions and opinions strongly influence the course of eventssocial lion, lion - a celebrity who is lionized (much sought after)guiding light, leading light, luminary, notability, notable - a celebrity who is an inspiration to others; "he was host to a large gathering of luminaries"personality - a person of considerable prominence; "she is a Hollywood personality"toast - a celebrity who receives much acclaim and attention; "he was the toast of the town" 2.celebrity - the state or quality of being widely honored and acclaimed fame, renown honour, laurels, honor - the state of being honored

Gee Obama! I think you should call and "thank" McCain for his "compliment" that actually came out of his childishness.

As far as McCain "experience" in foreign policies? Bless his heart, he HAS been through a LOT but people also have to realize that THAT kind of experience such as being a POW or "tortured" can do only one thing to a person's mind and THAT is to have nothing but "tunnel-vision"... To him? Everyone overseas is NOT to be trusted or even given a "chance"... My brother was in Viet-nam... He has never gotten over it (He is also "mentally warped" and I cannot even be around him!)

Anyway, Keep that chin up Obama! God will look out for us... Dust off the childish ads off your shoulders and continue being a.. well?... A CELEBRITY.....

Thank you for the "hope" you have given us...

Sincerely,

Bonita

Abolish All Marriage - Gay or Straight

Ali A. Rizvi — Thu, 22 May 2008 18:31:36 EDT

On June 14 this year, California will become the second state after Massachusetts to start issuing marriage certificates to same-sex couples. The state's Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriage last week, reigniting the same old nationwide debate (distraction?) that (not so) mysteriously surfaces every election year and arguably cost John Kerry the 2004 presidency, which came down to Ohio's electors and a little over 3 million votes. This year, though, the differences between the candidates aren't as stark as those between Kerry and Bush in 2004, and the issue may not have the impact it did then.

Nonetheless, the position supporting all-out, across-the-board abolition of marriage, once thought to be extreme, is beginning to gain momentum, and seems like a pretty reasonable compromise.

It states that the government should stop recognizing marriage in any form and acknowledge civil unions only, leaving marriage to churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious authorities.
