Go barack Go: Less than 1 month on

Well, this fool's eyes have been opened.

I have been doing my homework. So far, nobody really wants to engage in any creative criticism on the official website. But I am posting my concerns -- the "joshua generation," the AIPAC speech, the inability of the Senator to openly side with the Democratic Party's withdrawal from the Nevada Debate (he wasn't offended by Ailes' comment) and his politically safe position on Iraq. (im registered there also as boatsie)

Soooo, as painful as it was, JJRoss, thank you for your warnings. I'm still right now backing Obama, but I am eagerly awaiting some answers and some backbone. At a meeting last night of volunteers to help with this weekend's Oakland rally, it was clear that other supporters are also now asking for more substance and less exhilerating rhetoric. e.g., what health care plan? what mideast policy? what final stand on ethanol..

I still am holding on to the hope that should he receive the nomination, he and the Republican will opt for public financing, although I don't yet know how that effects fundings from pacs but that is on my list to review.

Words to live by

Conservatives have always supported intrusive government, they have always endangered Americans by aggravating other countries, and they have always been very happy to collect taxes from ordinary working people and use that tax money to fatten the Malefactors of Great Wealth while depriving the rest of us of our freedoms. Those same people conned a number of libertarian-minded young people in the '70s and '80s into believing that conservatism was liberalism and vice-versa because a few intolerant lefties went overboard in their objections to morally reprehensible expressions of racism and sexism. I would have thought these kids would have grown up by now and realized that they're still paying taxes but under the Republicans they're getting less for them - and that's before the bill for all that "strong defense" comes due. How dumb they have to be to think it makes sense to be both Republican and gay after all this just doesn't bear thinking about.
