Sometimes It’s What They Don’t Say…

admin | July 29, 2008

In all the huzzah over Obama’s World Tour, the pros and cons of his media love-fest and his Berlin speech… in all the repeats of various quotes and hype about who he was channeling… I couldn’t shake the feeling that something (more than the usual) was missing. In reading the speech (couldn’t stomach listening to [...]

I wish we could see her, hear her.

 Sometimes I come across comments on blogs or articles that seem to speak for countless people… words that could be from my own heart and echo what so many PUMA and Hillary Supporters feel and believe.

I Take It Back… Words Are Not JUST Words.

admin | July 22, 2008

In the ‘early days’, decades ago it seems, I frequently dismissed Obama’s promises of Change, Hope, New Politics etc etc etc as being just words. His words, accompanied by his actions, of the last few days definitely put lie to that opinion.

Today [07/20] on CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in [...]

Ahhh Would Someone Find Our ‘Impartial Media’ And Point Them Home?

You’ve GOT to be kidding me? MIRROR Obama’s editorial? And the point of that would be? Seems any excuse will do as the Obama-Media Love-Fest continues. The Drudge Report:

On the ballot’? Rhetorical Symbolism That Means Exactly Nothing

admin | July 18, 2008

Do these people really believe that simply saying Sen. Clinton will be ‘on the ballot’ will make us say "Oh, okay!", then quietly fall in line?  Why is the difference between that and ‘name in nomination’ so hard for some to understand… or do they simply find it too easy to be dishonest and disingenious?

Anytime? Anywhere? Obama, You’re a Liar.

admin | July 15, 2008

Anytime, anywhere Obama? Right. Liar. In Town Hall meetings you know you'd have to give truly definitive answers and, if asked, explain yourself. Without your vague hopey-changey scripted message you wouldn't have enough wiggle room to swing left later… or right, depending on your next audience. Go away… now you're just getting annoying.
