no one wants to sit with him and no one can make him go home...

Does anyone else think that his constant facial expression is one of "My-God-I-Can't-Believe-I'm-Here!"?

Send me money.


----------------

Just trying to duplicate the emails I get from every senator, congressperson and other government official,
every time they burp.

I mean, why do we have to send them money for voting or speaking up for or against any given issue?
Isn't that what the hell they were elected to do??

It makes me nutz.

will slink off into the shadows of ignominy, shunned by the party that tried to pawn her off on us,
recognized as a failed Hail Mary pass that McCain threw in desperation but that no one wanted to catch?

I believe she has high aspirations for herself and Ambition with a capital "A." However, I'm hoping that once the Republicans
are roundly trounced on a national scale (which I hope and pray will happen on Tuesday), they will realize how ridiculous
a choice she was and will look elsewhere for their next saviour.

I'm curious: what do you all think?

from someone in FLA.



Dear Fellow Business Owners

As a Business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the
fact that Barack Obama, wll be our next President, and that my Taxes and
Fees, will go up in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the Customer, will have to
see an increase in my fees to them of about, 8%. I will also have to lay off
6 of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family,here
and did'nt know how to choose who will have to go.


So, this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found, 8 Obama
bumper stickers on my employees cars. I have decided these folks will be the
first to be laid off.

I can't think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a
better idea, let me know.


I am sending this letter to all Business owners that I know.

Sincerely
Ward
JOOA Corp.

--------------
(End of letter)

How in the world to you combat such ignorance, especially with the election just days away?
Has anyone else seen or heard of letters like this going around?

I swear, I hate Republicans. I know it's not good or right, but I can't help myself any more.

seems to make me cry these days, if it's related to Obama.

The picture of him walking in his old neighborhood, thinking of his grandmother
is what did it just now.

I think I'm overwhelmed by the real possibility that change may actually be just around the corner,
and that this fine family whose decency is so obvious and whose accomplishments are myriad
may actually be living in the White House, come January.

Is anyone else turning into a crybaby, too?

"There's no question that Bill Ayers, via his own admittance, is a terrorist..."

That's what you said to Brian Williams when he asked you if an abortion clinic bomber would be considered a terrorist (without, of course,
answering the question). The harder you try to sound intelligent, the more you display your ignorance.

Your stupidity seems to extend to all areas. Have you ever given a second's thought to anything political, other than
your own personal Ambition (with a capital "A") and what you'll wear on any given day?

I have to go now. Going to a football game. I don't have tickets or money to buy them, but I plan to get in "via my own
admittance."

Whatever the hell that means.

exposed, stretching it like taffy to try to make it sound like it makes sense.
Does he not know how utterly stupid it makes him sound?

I can't stand this man. He is altogether without morals and without a soul.
And the Devil's pockets are bulging.

(Suggested bumper sticker for those of us who are sick of hearing
what Sarah Palin "thinks.")

I would definitely put that on my car. (Hell, at this point, I'd put it on my forehead).

conclusion that people are either very well informed on the issues and the candidates, or they're
Republican.

The purpose of the calling party was to contact other MoveOn members around the country and ask them if they could volunteer
on specific dates, to help the Obama campaign register voters or to make calls. There was a 2-page handout we all were given
and a short video to watch. And then we all took our cell phones and wandered off to every corner of the house, to start
working our way down the call sheets.

The worst calls were the people who were adamantly anti-Obama and somehow were incorrectly placed on the list
as MoveOn members. One guy admitted that he'd gone to MoveOn.Org online and signed up, but only "to see what garbage
they're throwing around out there." One guy just said, "No f***in' way!" and hung up on me.

But the best calls (and there were several) were like the one I made to a woman in Port St. Lucie, Fla. who said she was so happy to get the call,
because she had been looking for a way to become more involved in Obama's campaign but didn't quite know how. She enthusiastically
volunteered for all three days in question, and then asked if she could bring her husband, her mother and her son!

Yes, yes and more yes. We need every bit of help we can get!

very staunch Republican - was saying how crucial it is for Obama to be defeated in November.

As the reasons for his believing this, he regurgitated every freeze-dried Republican talking point that's already been debunked
a hundred times or more. And at the end of his ignorant diatribe, he leaned closer to the doctor and stage-whispered:
"There's no way we can let *that guy* sleep in the Lincoln bedroom!"

My doctor said that when he left the examining room, he went directly to his desk and (for the first time in his life) made a political contribution,
writing out a check for $1000.00.

To Barack Obama.

and hear his words.

McCain has 6 people in the cheese aisle of King's supermarket listening to him make his flubs.
And all six of them are there to buy cheese.

Who ya gonna vote for?

just this one time. With the Clintons, jealousy trumps all other considerations.

It is inconceivable to me - even though, at this point, it probably shouldn't be - that, to this date, neither Hillary nor Bill have
picked up the phone and congratulated Obama on earning the designation as presumptive presidential nominee of our party.

At every possible opportunity, Obama has been praiseful of her (and I'll even admit to being a bit ticked off at his generosity toward her at times).
But she cannot bring herself to act in a decent and civil manner in return, even to someone who has been utterly respectful of her.

I simply cannot tolerate the Clintons any more. Their sense of superiority and self-righteousness is what brought them down,
and they're too self-absorbed to realize that the game is over and they should stand up, walk to the middle of the field
and shake hands with the winning team.

It's just a damn shame.

McCain opened his comedy tour by trying out his new stand-up routine for a few friends, impersonating an aging robot with yellow teeth,
saying trite phrases in a creepy whisper and then, each time, producing a breathy half-laugh to add to the creepitude of it all,
as his head turned from one teleprompter to another and then back again, his right eye twitching in constant winks
like a friendly firefly. An OLD friendly firely.

Hillary gave a rousing acceptance speech from the depths of a cave, two floors below sea level, where no cell phone or tv reception
was available and no one knew that Obama had already clinched the nomination. This way, she didn't have to congratulate Obama
on his nomination and could still be introduced by the eminently insane Terry McAuliffe as "the next President of the United States!"
Basically, Hillary gave a long list of things she wants, which she feels she's entitled to, since she is the victor. But, wait... why then
did that senator from Illinois take the stage

and thank all the cheering people who were in that stadium, evidently, for some basketball game? All those complimentary things
he said about Hillary just proved that he was trying to butter up the winner, hoping that maybe she would reward him by putting him
on the short list for her VP pick. Yeah, yeah - there he goes, saying how capable and dedicated she is. But, c'mon, let's be honest here - being nice
can only get you so far.

And if you don't believe it - just ask Hillary!
