I believe that John Kerry should be moved into a more powerful role and I can't decide where he could do the most good.

I have a habit of dreaming about our extended "dream team" ie/cabinet, congressional leaders, etc.----

Where do those here believe he would be best positioned to help achieve our goals?

The true history behind the story is so astounding and so important that it merits much more attention than this manufactured controversy. Anyone knowing the history of the liberation of the concentration camps would readily understand how the trauma of what he saw caused Senator Obama's uncle to isolate himself at home for several months after returning from the war. What he saw was the outside world's first view of what came to be called the Holocaust.

I THINK A THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO REPOST A TAX POLICY COMPARISON THAT CAN BE PRINTED OUT AND USED TO SHARE AS A FLYER.

Please click on the link

I tried to put it on the page as an illustration, but didn't know how to make it fit.

Maybe someone else can

I can't believe the people who will vote against thier families own interests, if even only for their tax burdens.

Tears of Joy in MY EYES>

Please don't miss it if you don't have to

Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations from airing the commercial and asked the Justice Department to intervene.

Fasten your seatbelts, but realize that the DNC and Barack Obama LEARNED from John Kerry and there is now and will be quick repsonses to smears and swiftboaters.  Also, in 2000 and 2004, individually we did not have the resouces like the many factcheck sites and search engines that we have now---where we can find out the truth about things as quickly as they come up. 

I recieved an e-mail yesterday from a Republican Group about ads that are running with lies and smears making Barack out to be a terrorist because he know Ayers.

I did an easy search and found out that Obama is taking care of these smears, on many levels------not just with counter ads, but also legal threats and------well, I will let you read what he is doing and will be doing to counter these attacks http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news?p=%22Swift+Boat%22&fr=&ei=UTF-8

I found the MSNBC article #2 on the list, to be the most thorough.

But, please read up on some of these issues so we can counter with the truth----which is what I did last night, by mass e-mailing to my address book a pre-emtive warning about these attacks, and including the real truth about Ayers.

JUST FYI
;-)

A UNITED PARTY SO THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON OUR PART IN HELPING ELECT OUR LEADERS TO FORGE A NEW FUTURE FOR US, AND A WORLD THAT DEPENDS ON OUR STABILITY, MORALS, AND PROSPERITY. 

 

Hillary Clinton will make it clear that if you do not support Barack Obama with as much passion as you supported her with, then you weren't supporting her because of her democrat principles.

She will make it clear----that if you were actually voting for her because you believe she was/is the BEST DEMOCRAT, (which is the only valid reason IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT), then you now know that Barack is NOW ----the ONLY candidate, with our/her democratic principles, and the desire to see her dreams manifested.

Her real supporters, who were/are supporting her because of her democrat principles, truely TRUSTED that she would be the best LEADER of the FREE WORLD, and were excited about following her LEAD, and they will TRUST her to LEAD them in who to support, with all our resources,  that will best help US for the next 4 years.

tonight she will separate the wheat from the chaf-----

and we are all grateful

Delegates from across the nation have filled the Convention floor after a busy day at the Denver Convention Center. They attended caucus meetings, where they discussed the issues that most affect American families and communities, such as the affordability and availability of healthcare, quality education for all children, and the struggling economy earlier today.

At the Hispanic caucus meeting, hundreds of Latino Americans gathered to hear from leaders such as Colorado Congressman John Salazar, New Jersery Senator Bob Menendez, and New York Senator Hillary Clinton. Senator Clinton spoke out against those who seek to divide us and called for Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans to join together because we cannot afford more of the same.

"Let there be no mistake about it," Hillary said, "We are united. We are united for change." Check out the video:

Well, at least they are now admitting the strategy

 From CNN

So McCain advisers say their goal is to keep Obama's convention "bounce" to a minimum, so McCain can head to St. Paul, Minnesota, next week with some real momentum. They think the best way to do that is to drive a deeper wedge between Obama and Sen.Hillary Clinton.

It started over the weekend, when Obama picked Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware instead of Clinton as his running mate. McCain's camp quickly released a TV ad entitled "Passed Over," trying to stoke the already-simmering anger among Clintonites who feel she got a raw deal. Now the Republican National Committee has another ad pouring more gasoline on the fire. Video Watch McCain's attempts to use the "Hillary Clinton card." »

Now on MSNBC at the convention

I am flipping channels lol

Gives a good perspective
LIVE ON CNN NOW

I do---and if you don't please do a little research.

 For me, when Warren Buffet talks, I LISTEN

and so should everyone else

but, we are not being told he is even talking.

Please please read the whole report, and find out who the "players are" this isn't funny people

Just fyi He is still answering questions and has been really great thought you who didn't know would like to get in on the last part of it

I just saw a commenter say that Obama needs a VP that knows something about the economy because it (along with foreign policy) are holes that Obama needs to fill--

so just thought I would make this announcement---so she can turn on CNN and find out that her premise on this is erroneous.

just a fyi

I think this video shows much of Obama's  character

It is a must listen to, as it hits not only what he won't put up with, but how he will lead.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Republican presidential candidate John McCain's divorce was amicable enough that he and his ex-wife jointly brought a lawsuit 10 years later to recover damages for lost mementos, but it wasn't amicable enough to prevent McCain's mother from suing his ex-wife to get back some personal property

Didn't McCain say something last night about his greatest shame being how he treated Carol?

Yea   right
