New President's To-Do List....We Need....

Jimmy Smith — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 10:56:30 EDT

First, restore confidence Forget four years. In the first six weeks of his tenure, the new president's to-do list will include: Restoring a sense of public confidence that the country can meet and solve the financial challenges ahead. At campaign rallies, Obama already has quoted FDR's admonition that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Guiding implementation of the financial industry rescue plan, including figuring out which toxic assets Treasury should buy from struggling institutions and how much to pay for them. The move to use $250 billion of the bailout to buy stakes in banks will put the government in the unfamiliar role of part owner of institutions that embody free-market capitalism. Beginning to revamp a regulatory structure largely built during the Depression so that it reflects the complexity of the current global financial system. Deciding whether and how to begin the drawdown of most U.S. combat forces from Iraq. Obama says he wants to complete the withdrawal in his first 16 months in office. McCain says a reduction is on the horizon but hasn't set a timetable. Responding to the urgent request this month by Gen. David McKiernan, the top commander in Afghanistan, for more U.S. troops there. Army Times reports that Gen. David Petraeus, who takes overall command of the region on Oct. 31, plans to deliver a report to the president in February after conducting a "top-to-bottom" review. Submitting the federal budget for fiscal 2010 to Congress in early February. It presumably will reflect the costs of the bailout plan and the revenue impact of the economic slowdown. Being prepared for terrorists to strike during the transition, a timing they have used before. The World Trade Center was bombed five weeks after President Clinton took office in 1993; the Madrid train bombings took place three days before national elections in Spain in 2004; car-bomb attacks were attempted in London and Glasgow days after a new British prime minister took office in 2007.

Gas Prices High....Unveiled Car Run's on Water

Jimmy Smith — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:38:40 EDT

A Japanese venture company, Genepax, has unveiled a car on that runs on water. All it requires is a litre of water. In fact, any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea. Its an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide.
"The main characteristic of this car is that no external input is needed. The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water inside for you to add from time to time," said Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Chief Executive Officer of Genepax, after he proudly announced the company's invention.
Once water is poured into the water tank at the back of the car, the newly invented energy generator takes out the hydrogen from the water, releases electrons and finally generates electrical power.
"We highly recommend our system since it does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars," said Hirasawa, who is hoping to advertise the car in time for the upcoming G8 Summit in Hokkaido, Japan.

TO ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS

CJ — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:13:52 EDT

I don't know how many of you will actually read this email because most of the Hillary groups here have been hijacked by Obama supporters or the DNC and so I'm going to try one last time here.

A moment of your time

Fri, 30 May 2008 22:33:41 EDT

I am new to this site, I dont really know the in's and the outs but I really wanted to try and get the word out about democratic congressional candidates. I thought I could do one a day. So... Here is my first, his name is Rob Hubler and he is running against Republican Steven King in the Fifth district in Iowa, here is some information and a link to his site, get a hold of me, or his campaign if you want to help. I have no affilation with this campaign but am very hopeful that he can win. http://www.hublercongress.com/home.html

Hillary know Obama may be taking another hit?

ihaveavoice — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:50:16 EDT

Real quick I only have a second- is it possible Hillary is staying in because she knows Obama may be about to take another hit just as large as the Rev Wright issue? Apparantly there is a new issue arising in regards to Obama fundraising numbers. Hundreds of thousands of donors have NO income or no viable income but yet have donated to Obama multiple times. It appears the republicans intend to attack Obama with some serious questions about these donations, some donors that cannot be verified and some donors that were counted repeatedly despite donating just once. In other words the numbers are not adding up and how and who is giving him the money is being scruntized much more closely. Apparantly due to overhwleming fund raisedeach month it was very hard for anyone to verify every donation-

That said it seems the republicans want to help push Hillary out of the race now afraid if she continues all their holding cards against Obama will be exposed in the primary and not the GE. They are banking on the media to keep writing about his bowling and basketball skills and nothing else. It leaves them with all kinds of issues to slam him with in the GE, the longer Hillary stays the more that comes out now.

It certainly makes sense on why McCain is so quiet and keeping a low profile, definitely not his style, unless he has ammo he doesn't want to launch until this party locks themselves into Obama and any VP but Clinton.

Visted Ohio this week- can't get much redder

ihaveavoice — Tue, 20 May 2008 11:56:45 EDT

So one of the bands we are sponsoring toured in ohio a few days this week and we went with them. One thing I can assure you, it will be as red as can be come November.

After talking to many people we ran across from gas station attendants to college students this is the overwhelming feeling and problems with Obama the majority had.

1. Most do not believe he has a problem with Reverend Wright. They think he knew exactly what the guy was about and he privately agrees with him.

2. Younger people are puzzled and annoyed at the racist charges his team has levied against Democratic Politicians. They believe the Obama campaign has actually refueled Racism to a greater extent with their accusations. Many believe, hispanics, asians, vietnamese and arabs suffer far greater and routine racism today in America and Obama's accusations will once again turn the focus off these groups and on to ONLY African Americans in educating against racism, despite the fact Obama's campaign has claimed Obama has not experienced the level of racisim these groups suffer daily THROUGH OUT the USA.

3. They believe he is dishonest and arrogant and the party in general has a problem with women in power. As one woman told me it's pretty obvious if you look at the primary they would never let Hillary win. Examples she gave:

They tried to declare him victory before New Hampshire, when he didn't win, they trotted out Kennedy to publicly insult Clinton ( Male ). They tried to declare victory after Feb 5th, when he lost Ohio and Texas they trotted out Richardson to blame Hillary for the party splitting ( male ) They tried to declare victory before West Virginia, when he didn't win they trotted out Edwards ( Male) to put the final nail in her coffin in their eyes. The pattern of him trying to silence voters in their minds goes much further then Fla and Michigan and has been the main thread of his campaign and they do NOT like that.

4. Obama's campaigns are pigs. They left messes all over the place, bussed in hundreds of people who walked across yards, became pushy at front doors and littered everywhere and left the mess behind for the residents to clean up. Not smart. Hotel Clerk, definitely bitter toward the slobs as he calls them.

Other notable remarks:

On voting in November:

Heck yea girlie I'm voting in November, didn't you hear me, I don't want that guy in the WH. I'm voting but not for him! ( senior )

He's mad at the Tenn GOP for taking Michelle to task after what he said about Bill Clinton? Hasn't Michelle been campaigning for him and giving her own speeches? She's fair game and he looks like a little boy that says I want what I want but only my way. ( College Grad income 130 grand a year )

Republican who admitted voting for Obama: Because we don't want Clinton on that ticket in any way, shape or form, she can beat us. Obama was the rising star in your Party who alienated a large portion of his own party's base and after this election he will be so battered he'll be lucky to be another Kennedy ( lifelong senator with no chance of ever ascending to the WH)

They banded against Hillary and made her lose. I'll never vote Democratic again.

and on and on the statements goes. You think bitterness is keeping Obama out in November. Well in Ohio oh yeah you might be right there is a healthy amount of distrust toward him and the party, bitterness for the way the party tried to end this primary many times. Ohio is now republican through and through because from what I heard its going to take a long time to get the people of Ohio to trust this party again.

United States of America

Jimmy Smith — Sat, 17 May 2008 10:44:52 EDT

That meaning is... For Fifty States. So ADD THE MISSING STATES- DNC! PEOPLE VOTED...AND WILL BE COUNTED. ALL 50 STATES = UNITED.

Voter hits on key problem w/ Obama in Radio call in

ihaveavoice — Fri, 16 May 2008 23:46:20 EDT

I was justing listening to the radio as I responded to Blue's post and the host asked viewers to call in and let them know if they found Obama honest and trustworthy-

This is basically what he said.

I support Hillary Clinton and I know he has been less then truthful many times when talking about her and her agenda and record. He is dishonest, just look at his speeches and ads about Senator Clinton. If he lied about her I KNOW he is lying when he talks about McCain. No I do not find him honest and trustworthy at all. He says he can win my vote back? How? I don't trust him he lied, why would I believe him NOW?

He hit on an excellent point as a Hillary supporter I to know he has twisted the facts almost unrecognizable at times to portray her in a bad light. How can I possibly honestly say anything he tells me about the Republicans is the truth if he would try to destroy a member of his own party with false facts and accusations? Excellent point!

No longer seeing eye to eye with the new party

ihaveavoice — Thu, 15 May 2008 03:22:53 EDT

I think it's clear many of us no longer align ourselves with the behavior of the party. The fact of the matter is Obama is the name on the ballot whether we like it or not but from what I read besides having great concern and pause over Obama being elected everyone's biggest problem is with the party itself and how they meddled and handled this primary.

I think now the question for many of us is are we closet republicans as Obama supporters would love to label us. Not likely one vote doesn't change your core beliefs, which is probably a big reason why Obama could not convince half this party Hillary is bad for the country over the one Iraq vote. It's also probably why he failed to carry the states that have the most casulaties from the Iraq war.

So where do we belong? I don't know the answer to that, I spent alot of time this primary wondering if as I aged had turned republican. The answer is no while there are some things about McCain I do not like, fact of the matter is there are just as many things about Obama I do not like.

But the one thing that stands out to me is party has moved so far over in a desperate attempt to regain power in Washington they have left behind the middle aged voters who built the party the last 20 years. Not a bad sin change is ok but not when you give speeches and interviews saying you don't need those who built the party to win, that your going to flood the party with republicans.

For me the only real answer is to do what I can to make a third party candidate run strong, let the party know my voice and vote means as much as it did 20 years ago in November and that I am not easily replaced with fly by night voters from the other party.

ok what is your fence to jump

ihaveavoice — Wed, 14 May 2008 21:02:16 EDT

Ok let's be fair let's say why we won't vote for Obama let's be specific.

My biggest fence to jump is a vote for Obama validates him labeling the Clintons as racists and that's an argument I have never believed, I don't believe they are. He took Clinton's word, possibly poorly phrased and tagged this man as the type of person most of us dems can't stand, a racist. I can't validate that nor can I support tactics like that especially when Obama's campign threw a major fit whenver his words were twisted. You can't have it both ways.

My secondary fence is what the party did during this election, moving polling places in Nevada and silencing two states. I found it very hard to believe it was only a coincidence it affected only one candidate for every change made in this primary.

My last fence, I just do not believe him or trust him, I also know the numbers from the caucuses are very skewed and do not represent a large portion of the Clinton dems in those states so what way will they vote is anyone's guess. You can not give any candidate a caucus state because the numbers are wayyyyy off due to the rules put on a voter to vote. Never mind all the republicans who voted to first make Obama the nominee candidate and then to keep this race going voted Clinton. The numbers from the primaries are probably off more then they ever have been before. The country wide polls of today shows McCain beating Obama before the republicans even begin their campaign against him. Those polls would not show that unless a large portion of this base is jumping the fence.

That's alot of fences to jump and I did that with Kerry and just refuse to do it again. That race card against the Clintons along with the votes he refused to cast is the day he lost my vote and he has never won it back.

If you think I would vote against him out of the spite, the only way I vote against him out of spite would be to vote against Michelle Obama and to be honest if it was that I would just stay home and not even waste the gas. So its not spite, not here.

Interesting article from a local community college opinion column

ihaveavoice — Tue, 13 May 2008 09:40:08 EDT

Not my writing a repost from a column someone sent me from the local college: there are typos I have not corrected apparantly whoever copied it did not know copy and paste and just retyped the entire article-

Anyway, these are some serious questions we should be asking ourselves.

Everyday I'm asked the same question by someone, "Will I vote for Barack Obama," and my reply is always the same, "Does it matter?" The answer is no because Barack Obama will never reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and here's why.

"The man has been talking for two years and I still don't know what he plans to do or how he plans to do it." Says Joe G. Gulf War veteran residing in Plymouth, Mass. Fair enough but the general election has just begun. " I'm not listening anymore." Says Joe shaking his head. " I've got a family to feed, a mortgage to pay and kids to put through college, I don't have time to listen anymore, I'll just sit this one out, things never change anyway. Aren't the Dems in charge now?" He says adjusting his cap and shaking his head once again referring to the majority the Dems hold in congress.

Joe is not alone in his opinion, the Democratic Party has been in charge in Congress and they have failed to challenge President Bush on a level that makes enough of a difference that American people see that relief at the gas pumps or in the grocery stores. A large portion of the American population believes Washington is not listening and has not been listening for a very long time. Problem one the Democratic party needs to convince Americans like Joe they are listening and so far they have failed that test.

"He seems to reinvent himself every other month. First he says he never heard that Wright guy say those things then he admits he did. I don't trust him, he's no different then any other politician, he will say anything to get elected." Says Gina L from Trumball, Ct. " I'm not thrilled with Hillary Clinton either but I think she could get the job done," I like McCain he's not anywhere near as bad as Bush." she adds thoughtfully touching on the one aspect of this campaign the Democratic party would like to sweep under the rug.

John MCCain is not President Bush, he does not need to reach to the far conservative corners of the Republican party to win the General Election thanks to the Democratic Party. For months there has been warning signs that Obama's appeal is not broad but pigeonholed into three demographics, African Americans, White Collar and the young voters who fuel his grassroots fundraising machine. What the Democratic party has refused to acknowledge is the far reaches of the extreme conservative and religious voters of the Republican Party that Bush reached out to in order to wrestle power from the Democratic Party in 2000 and 2004 will never be able to reach far enough across the aisle to vote for a man as liberal as Barack Obama. John McCain will reap the benefits of the liberal candidate the Democratic Party seems all but assured to trot out in the General Election.

AMAZING

CJ — Thu, 08 May 2008 19:02:00 EDT

It's amazing how people are so quick to want this election to end. If this were turned around and everyone was crying for Obama to step down, boy, oh, boy, you would sure hear how racist and hateful that was, but since it's a white woman running, it's OK to have her quit before all the states have had their say.

And then there are all the sexist, hateful comments, pictures, and reports all over the web. You want to really get angry? Take a look at CNN's iReport section. There's nothing there except anti-hillary postings--really vicious ones, at that. Since when is it OK to treat someone so cruelly? Regardless of who you support, this is still a human being with feelings. If nothing else, have some respect for a former First Lady. (Cont.)

Sick and tired of it.

CJ — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:21:47 EDT

I can sense a lot of weariness in Hillary supporters lately. This has no doubt been a long and exasperating ride. I, myself, am burned out. But, please, allow me to share some thoughts with you which may help us all to refocus. In my efforts to help the Hillary campaign, I've come across quite a few dreaded tasks:

--I dread the thought of of yet another rude, "sophisticated" Obama supporter on the other end of the line when I make calls.

VOTE'S OR POLL'S

VOTE'S TELL TO STORY....NOT POLL'S!!!!

A Good Democrat

ihaveavoice — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:26:34 EDT

22 years ago when I voted in my first democratic election to be a good democrat and a supporter of the democratic party was to follow the basic values of our country and support our party and the party Principles in any way you could depending on your situation.

Today you are considered a bad Democrat and bad for the party regardless of your long and faithful service and donations to the pary if you:

1. Support Hillary Clinton

2. Reject the notion there was anything democratic about the way the party handled Fla and Michigan.

3. Demand both nominees be held to the same standards during the nomination primary

4. Raise valid questions of a virtual unknown with an awful lot of baggage for someone who has been on the national Stage for such a short period.

5. Show justified anger when Jackson uses race to pressure and threaten Black lawmakers into endorsing a senator he has criticized to great lengths and supports only because of his race in this primary.

6. Question the party that remains silent when race is used to threaten our elected officials to support one candidate.

7. Question the new principles of a party that looks much more republican then the republicans themselves.

Today you are a good democrat and the only ones worthy of being a democrate if you:

1. Support Obama without question and fight tooth and nail against any vetting process of your candidate.

2. If you hold Hillary Clinton solely responsible for the problems in the country thereby giving the Republicans a pass.

3. Support disenfranchising millions of voters to see your candidate elevated to the nomination regardless of how it will affect the GE.

4. Support Jesse Jackson in using race to pressure and threaten superdelegates into endorsing Obama.

5. Not expect Obama to practice the unity and high values of the campaign he demands from his opponets.

6. Never question Obama's links to radicial ministers, former terrorists ( Ayers) or shady land deals. But aggressively attack any other democrat especially Hillary Clinton with any obscure links to the same practices.

7. Look the other way when the republicans raise one hundred million for Obama to kick off his presidential campaign.

8. Never question his pride when his own wife raises questions or his intense anger and embarassment when his full name is used.

9. Never question his statements and the statements of his closest advisors when they belittle the white race.

This is not the democratic party I support and I will not allow a bunch supporters of this man to claim the party either. To be a good democrat you fight for what you believe in, you don't walk away. Anybody but Obama in '08 then we can work on getting the party back to where every voter had a voice, every politician was held to the same standards. Where racism, is not tolerated in any way, shape or form and is rejected when used as a weapon for one man's gain and the problems that aroused in the country, during the republican administration is firmly placed on the republicans shoulders, not a fellow democrat simply for the gain of one man.

VOTE,PLEASE,VOTE

Jimmy Smith — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:07:42 EDT

WE NEED GOOD TURN OUT'S IN EACH STATE IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY. ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTIES IN STATE ,TELL THE PEOPLE TO VOTE . NOVEMBER IS COMING SOON....

Have we forgotten

ihaveavoice — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:30:29 EDT

what Illinoismel keeps saying about the delegate map.

It boggles my mind so many here support silencing Fla the one state we need where we know we will battle McCain for every single vote without a doubt.

We NEED Florida.

Still want to hand it to the Republicans simply to have your favorite candidate win? So you win the battle and lose the war?

Have we forgotten McCain was DONE until Florida spoke? He is very popular there.

Look at that map and give me a game plan where we clearly can pick up the the what 27? delegates we will lose in Fla elsewhere.

And while your at it find the 17 we lose in Michigan?

Because I certainly don't see it no matter how long I stare at this map.

See Elton and support Hillary

ihaveavoice — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:48:47 EDT

reposting deleted this one by mistake!

Elton John will help Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton raise cash for her presidential campaign with a solo concert next month at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

"I'm not a politician but I believe in the work that Hillary Clinton does," the British musician said in a statement released by the Clinton campaign Monday.

Tickets for the "Elton and Hillary: One Night Only" performance April 9 go on sale Wednesday. Prices start at $125 for mezzanine seats, $250 for seats near the orchestra.

Last October, Clinton held a star-studded fundraiser to celebrate her 60th birthday. Comedian Billy Crystal and rockers Elvis Costello and the Wallflowers headlined the event at New York's historic Beacon Theater, which raked in more than $1.5 million for Clinton's presidential bid.

Why Fla and Michigan can only be resolved

ihaveavoice — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:54:17 EDT

with a re-do.

I just read this and it makes alot of sense.

If the DNC does not include Fla and Michigan and "annoits" either candidate, Clinton or Obama, the chances of the two states dem base boycotting in November increase greatly because the same politicians who took their right to vote away are the same ones who are now hand picking the nominee.

the dude had a very good point. It may not matter who the dem party picks for a nominee to those voters, all that will matter is the same politicians who silenced them, then hand picked the nominee with their power as superdelegates.

Before Obama attacked the Clintons

ihaveavoice — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:43:46 EDT

this is how we as a country polled our nations best past presidents

Who was the greatest American president? According to the latest Gallup poll, 18% of Americans picked Abraham Lincoln. Second place goes to Ronald Reagan, 16%, followed by John F. Kennedy, 14%, Bill Clinton, 13%, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, 9

It was done may 5th 2007 from a very popular history based network and site and the poll was a gallup poll. Before Obama his campaign and his supporters turned Bill and Hillary Clinton into monsters.

No matter what happens in this election now, you can't change the fact his attacks on two people who helped make this party what it is today will never be forgotten and everything they stood for and fought for was tarnished in one moment in SC by twisting someone's words for the benefit of one man.
