For all you O'bama supporters

OK, since the cellar is a hot bed of knee jerk liberals who are barely kept in check by Lookout and The Merc and a few others, I think the following link may not be out of place here nor unwelcome. By most.

A few friends of mine have made the following website and project which involves you uploading a short video where you give one reason why you support Obama. The details are at this site:
http://onereason.us/Media.html

Sharp viewers will be able to detect the various feet, inches, and millimeters. Giving or asking for one reason. (My reason ended up on the cutting room room floor, I guess they felt "Because the current administration has plundered all the money in our treasury and there isn't any money left for the next republican administration to plunder, so we need a democrat in there to rebuild the coffers.")

Sigh, sarcasm just isn't appreciated these days.

Anyway, despite the format's disturbing similarity to the "Don't Vote" campaign, Obama supporters with a few minutes on their hands may want to give the site a look.

McBama? The apostrophe was put there since I have a bunch left over due to my no longer using the plural ending of any noun-ish word.

I don't have the ability to upload a video but the reason I'm voting for Obama is because he is actually running a campaign based mostly on HOW he will try to fix what's wrong with the economy and with DC. McCain and Palin just keep going on and on about how Obama associates with terrorists. They are like dogs with a favorite chew toy. No matter how many times it has been stated and proven that there was, at best, a slender thread of association between Ayres and Obama, and not a direct one, at that, they keep screaming how he has to "come clean" about it. McCain and Palin are their own worst enemies as well as the worst thing that has happened to the Republican Party since the dirty tricks politics of Nixon.

Obama has run his campaign well. It's not an organization with multiple heads running off in different directions. He's not constantly clarifying what some stupid branch of his campaign has done in order to limit damage. It's a tightly run ship. If he can run his campaign this well, he will be running the Administration well.

You can't say the same for the McCain campaign. It's all over the place.

Obama breaks promise on campaign finance

# Story Highlights
# Campbell Brown: Obama pledged to accept public financing last year
# But, she says, he switched when he realized he could earn more on his own
# He's rolling in dough earned on a broken promise

One year ago, he made a promise. He pledged to accept public financing and to work with the Republican nominee to ensure that they both operated within those limits.

Then it became clear to Sen. Obama and his campaign that he was going to be able to raise on his own far more cash than he would get with public financing. So Obama went back on his word.

On this issue today, former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, an Obama supporter, writes in The New York Post, "a hypocrite is a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue -- who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. And that, it seems to me, is what we are doing now."


Just another politician corrupted by money.

A large number if not most in the mainstream Republican Party also did not. McCain voters were mostly Republican moderates and independents. That is a serious McCain's problem - schizophrenia in his campaign. McCain is a moderate. His party is dominated by extremists which is why Palin had to be forced on his ticket. McCain had near zero support from Republican extremists.

It is a real shame what Republican power brokers have done to McCain who previously represented the interests of moderate and independent Americans - not who those party power brokers represent.

Unfortunately, a major McCain defeat may only further entrench Republican extremists at the expense of Republican moderates - such as McCain.

Why didn't he pick someone like Condi? Surely she would have been a better choice than Palin.

McCain's list of possible VP candidates (which was under review long before the choice was made) included Romney, Lieberman, and another major name I currently cannot remember. McCain's choices were completely changed when Republican Party mainstream power brokers began taking seats in his campaign. They needed one of their own and only had a week to find one. It explains why Palin was so poorly vetted.

Obama Lays Plans to Kill Expectations After Election Victory

Barack Obama's senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week's election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.

I've always thought that Fox was slanted, but still a decent source for news. I'm about to put them in with Newsmax and the Washington Times though, given their coverage as of late.

That would be a huge mistake. You have to pick and choose the programs, just like picking and choosing your newspaper sources.

Very simply because you have immediately narrowed your view to only those sources that agree/disagree with your idea of what is fair news.
elSicomoro • Nov 1, 2008 10:03 pm
The way you've stated your answers here Merc, it seems like you're agreeing with me that the Washington Times and Newsmax are out there. :)

Am I a liberal person that is biased? Duh! But I'm also a pretty fair-minded person that is willing to entertain other points of view...moreso than many people, IMO. I dislike a lot of hard-left shit because it's just annoying as fuck. And I dislike a lot of hard-right shit because it sounds like wacko conspiracy crap. And that's what Fox is starting to sound like. At least MSNBC's website is still pretty straightforward. Too bad their evening hosts have gone nuts.

I still check out the "extreme" shit on occasion, because you have to keep track of those nuts. This is my new favorite.

I do agree with most of your points. I feel it important to hear what the extreme is saying on both sides but I usually end up discounting what I hear. On that much we agree.

Here's an interesting one.

If Obama gets elected and Palin does try for president in 2012, the Republicans are going to be faced with an interesting choice. Nominate Palin and appeal to %100 of the base or nominate someone who can actually get elected.

I don't think Biden will go for the job in 2016. If Palin decides to run then and Hillary decides to run (at age 69), then we would have one great debate.

If he held out hope for Fox up to this point, that certainly isn't his problem.
