BeckyA Positive Message for America - A Blueprint for Change
Tonight Barack Obama spent 30 minutes on television to tell us what we can expect when he is elected. His message tonight was not about McCain or Palin, nor about any of the distractions that amount to not much more than static. His message tonight was about us. About jobs, health care, taxes, economy, education, energy, security, the things that affect each and every one of us. Not platitudes, but real, specific ideas and goals. He promised to listen to us even if we disagree. He promised to be honest with us.
He made his point eloquently. He looked and sounded presidential. He didn’t slam anyone, and he is clearly determined to bring our divided country together.
Well done!

I was at Mile High for his acceptance speech, and that was an impressive experience, but it wasn’t until watching this tonight that it really set in for me that we are witnessing something historic in American politics.

Truly, Jason. Obama does give me hope. And it’s been a long time since I felt that.

Republicans:
You can either join us, or get out of the way. The days of business as usual under the Bush orgy are over! Get it? Do you understand? Finally?

Obama ends with this:
The republicans will do everything in their power to make sure he can’t fulfill that promise, but these are the words of a leader.
Can’t you just hear what the Republicans are thinking: “open the doors of government, my ass!”

Don’t forget scum-sucking Coke head!

Rat fuckers and coke heads have a goal. Election thieves have a goal to misrepresent me.

I really feel that the tone that certain Obama and McCain followers have used to describe those they disagree with has done more to divide this country then the candidates themselves. Isn’t this the kind of language that Obama has been decrying during his entire campaign? In addition, you call Bush a coke head when your man did the same thing. We will never have an honest debate about the issues with this kind talk being thrown about. I believe that is what the power brokers in Washington really want is for us to keep fighting amongst ourselves so we don’t fight them.
Every time I disagree with or criticize Obama or McCain a legion of supporters come to shout me down, attempt to discredit me and basically try to stifle debate before it happens. I am married so I have been called every name you can think of so baseless ad hominem attacks really do not bother me. In fact, I find them to be both performative and instructive as it lets me know that the other person does not know how to counter the argument I have made or does not have the ability to form an original argument. If an attempt is made it is usually an attempt to deflect criticism to the other candidate’s position. Feeble at best. This kind of political interaction only serves to lower the quality of people that enter politics.
It’s not so much about voting for the lesser of two evils; it’s more about the evil of voting for two lessers.

Aw, John C, that’s one of the saddest statements I’ve ever heard:

Sounds like a pity party for John and for John.
Hey John, who said we represent Obama. We SUPPORT Obama because he supports our individuality.
I think the reason people distrust McCain supporters is because they all voted for Bush both times. That make you a severe danger to our democracy and our republic.
You feel sorry for yourself, because you’ve worn your conservative badge so proudly and far too long, past the point of no return. Your ”individual responsibility’ might just have turned you into an asshole (which would explain the names your wife calls you).
What you are hearing, is the sound of John being marginalized.
