matthew at 96–city of hope is good, or ’being a dick’ all good…..someone on the radio the other day called me ’lady liberty’, cracked me up at first but then later it made me think about what i try to project…….and i guess that’s what i do try to project, so it made me have a moment of pride…….that i quickly erased…..wish there was a way to just do things and not have that enter in………to just let it be about honesty.

and the obama crap–i wanna be able to answer questions from people honestly, and honestly, i can’ t find the info i brought up earlier anywhere in his info……no specifics anywhere……..

except for his no-votes in the illinois legislature for women’s rights, those are for sure on record.
the rest is allegory gathered and assimilated, doesn’t mean a whole lot. all i know is, when he had to stand for women’s rights he didn’t………that kinda matters to me. and naral backed him with that weak shit??????????

pete you said obama has addressed the issues i raised but i haven’t been specific? i was very specific, he hasn’t been. i’m analytical, i watch for details….this i know. the things i raised are nowhere on the web, nor on his website, that doesn’t bother anyone?

so, i say blooooooooooo haw………..that’s how much i’ve heard…….a strong wind, no words heard above the din. rhetoric given as an answer to a question that wanted specifics……..not so specific pete.

and matthew–calling a woman a ’dick’ in my book is funny…..and i’m not a fan of ’crude’…….

This is the accurate url but the DNS censor here turns it into a 404.

wake up. tell me the truth……

I would point out as to your false charge that Obama’s dodging questions that every day now for the last few weeks, and for months of his campaign, Obama has taken questions from his audiences including press and all comers. There are no plants, and many of the questions are set up to be tough (some of them from Mccainistas) and he answers them rather easily never using notes. Yesterday morning he took questions for over an hour in South Dakota after giving a sharp crisp response dissecting the absurd comments of Bush and McCain that showed their ignorance of the events that were a prelude to the Holocaust. During those events, the President of the U.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt ignored the extermination of Jews, but was jolted awake when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. That event seemed to be a bit of a wake up call for FDR, the US and the many many businesses who had enterprises with Hitler started by US entrepreneurs long ago.

Bush and McCain, the opponents Obama is running against routinely have dodged questions and Obama’s primary opponent Hillary Clinton has begun to sharply criticize Bush (and of course she has done it before) but she has been quick in the last few days to call Bush on his outrageous statements from the Israeli Kenneset.

I have talked to scores of Jews since those statements and they find Bush’s reference to appeasement and his ignorance of history repulsive, particularly for a man who was so afraid of serving his country that when his daddy’s efforts to get him into the National Guard to train for a plane that would never go out of the st’
ates or see combat ran out, and he was ordered to report for a physical for a plane that that was seeing action in Viet Nam, he hid out AWOL in Alabama in a coke/booze stupor for months, and had the papers destroyed later.

Dan Rather has a current law suit and the portion of discovery that will shed light on these circumstances is still intact in that case, although the claims against Monves, Redstone, and Heyward were dismissed 4/10/08.

i wanna know a lot of things that aren’t being addressed

Obamma has addressed them but you haven’t been specific.

The fact that you’re uniformly wrong across the board makes me wonder if you’re trolling from a right wing blog. You’re definition of your mistatements is as vague and uninformed as Chamblis, Graham, and Corynyn when they say the surge is working but offer no facts to butress that fiction. You remind me of the guy Mathews sliced yesterday who didn’t konw what appeasment meant.

If you wanted to know Obama’s or anyone else’s “view on issues” reading would have been a good start and you haven’t.

Obama was supported by NARAL after 30 years backing the Clintons because he is pro-choice. His so-called present votes in the Illinois Senate which have been misconstrued and widely quoted were on request by many planned parenthood and child protective groups.

Obama supports civil unions and is against gay marriage. I personally don’t carry who marries what as long as they are the age of consent or the age of the state requirement for licensure.

His views on Israel have been aired and they are very clear and he supports Israel strongly and recognizes it as our staunchest ally in the ME and one of our staunchest allies period. They’ve been aired out the wazoo and where were you during his speech and question answer period for about an hour and a half today–under which rock? Why didn’t you state them?

Your assertion that “he supports coal big” is totally false.

Corporate subsidies for what precisely?

He hasn’t dodged anything, and has made his views on trade crystal clear. He has been crystal clear on supporting US products and jobs and cracking down on outsourcing of jobs, and products and cheap labor abroad including unequal tariffs with the US vs. other countries.
