mccain letter

Published Oct. 11, 2008

It's proof once again that Sen. McCain tryed to  fix FM/FM and keep us out of the mess we are in now. I know the truth and the facts don't matter in this campaign but it is nice to know that somebody tryed. And 19 senators signed the letter but Obama is not one of them. If anybody thinks Obama has their best interest at heart then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I will sale you very cheap.

Ladyblue, that's fine and we're fine, at least on my end. Some Obama supporters fit your description so I can't have any problem with you saying so.

RevRB, you first say I shouldn't take anything personally and then you, again, lump all Obama supporters into one group--one that I am a part of whether you say my name or not. Obviously you don't believe that people can look at the facts and decide for themselves that Obama is the person they want to vote for. However, I'd love for you to show me where people think he's the new Messiah. You're confusing support with worship. Again, I support Obama based on the issues and because I agree with his policies. That in no way means I think he is the new Messiah. Nor am I blind, or anything else you have said about Obama supporters.

just laura - "To imply that I would make my decision for any other reason is not only condescending, it's wrong. I understand that others can look at all the facts and draw a different conclusion than I did. Please allow me the same respect."

What's with the "I" "I" "I"???

No one singled you out until you put yourself up front in trying to represent all Obama supporters.

sheesh

And yeah, I consider Obama supports deaf and blind because they can be shown facts in black and white and they will still come up with excuses for why they just KNOW he's the new Messiah.

God bless.

Rev. RB

charlesb- I wouldn't get too excited just yet that Obama has no ethnical malfunctions. see the web on wral today. Rezko may be making a deal as you write.

In this Wednesday, June 4, 2008 file photo, Antoin "Tony" Rezko returns to the Federal Courthouse where a jury found him guilty on 16 counts of a 24-count indictment in his corruption trail in Chicago. Federal prosecutors moved Monday, Oct. 6, 2008 to delay indefinitely the sentencing of convicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, sending their strongest hint yet that he is ready to spill his political secrets.

I do have respect for you and if I had seen your name on the board I sure would not have omitted your exception. I am truly personally sorry that I seem to have offended you by not being 100 percent politically correct in my statement. I also will be looking forward for your statements pointing this out from the other side when they continue to put all non supporters of Obama on the same totem pole. It's nice to know we have golo members who will do this on both sides. So again I will say most of the obama supporters on golo instead of all of them. I don't know what else you expect of me.

If you are going to say negative things about all Obama supporters, which you have done on this blog, you include me and yes, I will respond to that when I see it. I don't respond to everything that is blogged on this board because I don't have time to read everything on the board. I also only try to engage people I think are worth engaging. I thought it was worth including you in that group, but if you want me to not respond to you anymore, say so, and I won't.

I haven't posted a blog about why I am voting for Obama. However, since there is no evidence I'm not voting based on issues, I don't know why you wouldn't take my word for it.

As far as other people calling McCain supporters names and grouping them in all together, again, I acknowledge that it happens. However, I don't do it and I try to remember that other people's bad behavior doesn't excuse my own.

"The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election." True, but we also know that Joe Biden has had his share of ethics problems, and the jury is still out on Obama, although some people would call sitting for 20 years in a church where racism and anit-Americanism were preached might be an ethical consideration... So, it could be said that all 4 have had ethical problems...sort of like GWB, and Bill Clinton, Reagan, Ford, Nixon - blah,blah,blah

I am only repeating what is being said out in the public and if that offends you so much I am sorry. Where is your blog saying why you are voting for Obama and then I can see if I misunderstand them. Evidently I don't agree with our country going socialist any more than it already is. I can't name the obama supporters on golo who have called McCain the mcsameo and Mc bush. Think what you will. Enjoy the freedom of calling me out. That freedom may come to pass one day. If I argued with every comment for Obama supporters who calls ALL mccain supporters name and even hostile words I would never be on golo. Let's see we all think he's muslim and antichrist and a terrorist. Did your correct those comments? i think not. So I'm through with this converstion.

There are probably no people reading this blog who have not already made up their minds on who they are going to vote for. Those who blame Republicans for the economy are not going to change their 'feelings' (as opposed to mind) anymore than those who see Obama, Dodd, and Frank as villians in the Fannie/Freddie problem.

Obama has created a non-rational, but effective aura that Obama is someone who will bring the country and world together despite no history of doing so. Obama can campaign, and has proven that for over a decade, and is far sighted in his ambitions. If people want to project their ideal onto his gray image, then no one is going to counter that.

McCain has long worked to further his rank, his position in government and is a tenacious fighter. He thinks he is the man for the job. Is he? I don't know.

I'm trying to say that most people don't care what role McCain & Obama played with Fannie Mae. They want to emotionally believe what they want. The rationale will follow.

"If tables were turned would the same respect be shown???"

Even as he criticized John McCain's economic policies, Obama acknowledged that the GOP nominee has asked his supporters to temper their attacks on him."

-

"I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other," Obama told thousands of supporters at the first of four outdoor rallies in Philadelphia.

By CHARLES BABINGTON - Associated Press Writer

His backers feeling increasingly confident, Democrat Barack Obama made a slight nod to his Republican rival on Saturday and asked voters to have faith in him as the next president.

Even as he criticized John McCain's economic policies, Obama acknowledged that the GOP nominee has asked his supporters to temper their attacks on him.

"I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other," Obama told thousands of supporters at the first of four outdoor rallies in Philadelphia.

Ladyblue, this is what I'm referencing:

QUOTE: "thank you so much for another fact that the supporters of Obama will not see because they want to bite off their nose to spite their face to insure another republican doesn't get in office."

QUOTE: "You will not see anyone supporting Obama probably even caring about this blog."

QUOTE: "It matters not what Obama is really doing to people behind closed doors in this election. They are so set on blaming the republicans for this fiasco that they will do anything and I mean anything to keep MCbush as they call him our the white house."

You are lumping all Obama supporters in here together. When you lump in all Obama supporters, that includes me whether you mention my name or not.

I just find it very frustrating that people continue to perpetuate this idea that all Obama supporters are voting for him for non-valid reasons. It happens on both sides, sure, but I try very hard not to do it and want the same respect in return.
