Campaign Update 08/26/08

"Those are the rules!"

Excellent stuff.

First thing, what happened to respect when it comes to others choices?

I ask this because there seems to be a Pavlovian response here to anything that is remotely conservative and guess what, there are a handful here who think middle of the road or to the right even. Yeah.. surprising I know.

wow

You see this place is a liberal haven. Most everyone here is anti anything that doesn't give with Gore. Ok.
So what. It is hardly the representation of the nation.

Does anyone here think that slinging mud at either Senator or VP is going to change anyone's mind here? I would say that is HIGHLY DOUBTFUL.

And to address some here, yeah some women do have a value system that is fine with the VP's record on "femine" issues. We are not cookies, we are individuals. And yeah we all think and we are intelligent and we have opinions... yeah we women.. do.

Grow up. Quit putting everyone down.

If your Obama is the man you say he is.. then why in the hell are you guys feeling so threatened by the RNC?

Yeah, the writing about the VP, people are so afraid that it might steal Obama's thunder.

Respect each other, use your extra energy getting people to vote, and give them their own minds... Don't belittle them for one side or the other.

A very small percentage of America actually votes.

To me that is extremely pathetic. And that is the main issue.

What I disagree with are groups of people that are to "get out the vote" and then present a liberal or conservative message, without giving both equal weight. Give both or have neither.

Voting should be what is encouraged. Not what side. This is not a fight. People seem to think it is. (???) No wonder the country is all screwed up and our dollar is falling.

I think it's the mud slinging. If someone cannot win based on positive output, then we are doing something wrong.

So try something new in policitics.
Yes, it's something that the talking heads don't do, the newspapers and the websites don't always do it.

Try respecting others. Wow. New concept isn't it.

Maybe if we start here in this little community online, it might spred, as we talk to others respectully in our lives, if we demand positive and respectful handling of our entire election.

You do realize that WE the people determine how the adds are made. If we demand a stop to negative and derogatory adds, and mudslinging and have them focus on what each person has to offer... we could change our country.

So for those who what hope and change, start right there with you... here...
respect others. please, give it a try.
Thanks.

Please call the Commission on Presidential Debates at (202) 872-1020 and politely request that they include Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee for president, in the presidential debates.

It is very important that you are professional, respectful and courteous when you call. Explain that Congressman Barr is having an impact in the election and that a recent Zogby poll found that 55% of voters want to include him in the debates. Also, express the importance of choice on the ballot and the need to present a view to voters that is different from the status-quo.

So, Brett, have you given thought to what you'll do once the campaign is over?

Retire in finery?

vaughnM, if you'd been following them from the beginning you'd understand Brett's sentiment.

Why did you choose to do the campaign update if you were gonna complain about it later? Besides you do it whenever you please, and say the same things in all of them.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE SICK OF IT... you're the campaign update guy brett!

Ugh, I'm sick of hearing about it. NPR did three stories IN A ROW about it within half an hour this morning. O_O

did I hear correctly last night that there wont be any debates?

Yeah well, I'm sick of hearing about it :)
