YES!!! Me too! And one of my congressional delegation apparently shared my email address with the bastard, too.

I’ve gotten a half dozen or more THICK envelopes from them–I just toss them in a sack for the recycling. I can’t be bothered to even read them.

That idea about sending back the envelope with a sentiment written inside is interesting, though!

Janine - Nobody asked for the “stadium” convention but OBAMA…excuse me…OBAMA’S EGO. You must be having a really difficult time Janine,for wasn’t Obama supposed to be the candidate of CHANGE? You know, “THE ONE” who would bring back integrity…it must really hurt to see that he’s renigged on almost every issue on which he previously took a stand.

I really believe that Obama WILL lose to McCain. I’ve read on different sites that far right republicans plan on staying home and not vote because they dislike McCain. Well my in-laws from Florida are as far right as you can get, they hated Bill Clinton and loved Bush anyway they DO NOT plan on staying home. They realize that Obama does not have the experience, they don’t trust him and not to mention that they just can’t stand him. Right now they’re just twiddling their thumbs but come November they WILL come out in droves. They are overjoyed that I plan on voting for McCain but I let them know that if Hillary becomes the nominee I’ll drop McCain like a hot potato.

Unfortunately, we are the rather small percentage of the voting public really paying attention to the race. I think maybe we get a little myopic about how the rest of the electorate sees the race. Do THEY catch the lies Obama slides by under the radar screen (formerly known as the mainstream media)?

Hey, over 50% of the voters are still polling positive for this guy! Somebody’s believing the crapola he spouts.

AFTER listening to Obama and McCain, yes Obama was smooth but no substance, whereas McCain, was sharp, specific and came across like a true leader, confident and experienced on what to do.

I just can’t imagine the DNC super delegates still wanting to support Obama after listening to his lack luster appearance on the Warren Forum. Pretty clear.

If Hillary is not nominated, I will have no problem for the first time in my life voting for a Republican President, John McCain.

Was sick to my stomach to see Lewis (Hillary former supporter) talk up Obama on the panel.

Hillary would have held her own.
All I know is if Obama is nominated and the MSNBC idiots out number the clear thinking Americans and he wins, according to Michelle the WHITE house is a reacism term and so it will be painted Black no doubt, and the fact Obama does not believe in Christmas or Birthday gifts for his children, all I got to say if there is no Christmas tree and Christmas Decorations in the White house next year and if Santa Claus gets the boot like the ACLU has already gotten rid of the Christmas programs in the schools, the singing of Christmas carrols, that Christians will be forced to march on the Capitol,because they are taking God out of everything for which our country was founded, I do believe God will be on our side when we do. Enough already. NO OBAMA

It was Obama that moved the location of the convention. The DNC knew after the fact..Just as the DNC headquarters was moved by Obama. Chicago style,,,

Democratic party is having trouble because Many of us had stopped donating money and turned in our memberhip cards-And if they think for one minute that we will fall in line by maybe useing Hillary to come out and say we need to unity..I know they have this planned so-I can say now we will not unity behind Obama’s smelly dirt tail!We will turn and walk out and go home -support John Mccain as many are now found their way to him.But we will wait to see what goes down and in November we Hillary supporters will vote for John McCain-

It’s a joke Obama’s debate such a liar and a fool to think that we can read him now even of his flip flops he trys to hide-MSNBC CAN protect all they want-Let’s seecan Obama even talkm withoput double talking?????????????no

You’re right-he does owe the DNC because they rigged it for him. The DNC hitched their little red wagon to a falling star. I hope they go broke.

Is the DNC having trouble raising money from us idiots? What WORM. Barry has to ride us dirty.

If you weren’t such idiots you would see that he owes it to the DNC to get more money for them…hence the large stadium and soft money. they’re short of money - what are you going to do? turn your back on the DNC so that things cannot happen? or promise them a sleep over at the white house (like bill and hillary did) if someone gives money?

The word Propaganda , Propagandist kept nagging me, so I did a little work, and wow!There was a whole lot more than this, out of about twenty, the o campaign has about 18 going full force. Creepy, Creepy, Creepy.

“The propagandist hires a hall, rents radio stations, fills a great stadium, marches a million or at least a lot of men in a parade. He employs symbols, colors, music, movement, all the dramatic arts. He gets us to write letters, to send telegrams, to contribute to his cause. He appeals to the desire, common to most of us, to follow the crowd. Because he wants us to follow the crowd in masses, he directs his appeal to groups held together already by common ties, ties of nationality, religion, race, sex, vocation. Thus propagandists campaigning for or against a program will appeal to us as Catholics, Protestants, or Jews…as farmers or as school teachers; as housewives or as miners.
With the aid of all the other propaganda devices, all of the artifices of flattery are used to harness the fears and hatreds, prejudices and biases, convictions and ideals common to a group. Thus is emotion made to push and pull us as members of a group onto a Band Wagon.” (Institute for Propaganda Analysis, 1938)

Hi Val,

I think I spoke of this before. TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF. You’re not more impressive if you “shout”.

This must be the change we’ve been waiting for. Kind of gives us a glimpse of what life under Obama rule will be like. We’re all out here living with the downsizing brought by corporate America. You’d think he could at least try to live within his means, but no, he has to have a stadium. So, if you have to go back on a few promises and squeeze a little harder to get the lucre, well, who cares about those insignificant people think anyway.

If they cannot pay for all the extravagance of the convention then why dont they cut back? The rest of the nation is having to cut things out, why can’t the DNC. Maybe its because they all have so much money they think it never runs out. If they are in so much need they should foot the bill themselves. Im sure Donna, Nancy, BO and Dean have enough to spare. It seems backwards to give special deals out while you cannot afford to pay for it. I think they should just cancel the big stadium and have BO accept his speech at The Pepsi center, or better yet on a tree stump in the middle of a field somewhere. They could accomidate thousands of people and BO can still make his borifying speech. Best of all they will not have to spend a dime ,and if Hillary wins we dont have to worry about what to do with BO over at the stadium.

Problem solved! The DNC saves money and Hillary can accept the nomination at the Pepsi center , as it should be.

I’m seriously beginning to wonder if Obama and the DNC and supporters of the DNC are all into taking drugs.

They should all stop believing in their own hype and step back, and say to themselves “what the hell are we doing.”

No chance of that I guess, they would have to face reality…they selected the wrong candidate.

Yep, at this historic moment in time, they will all go down in history books as corrupt, power-hungary, thinking about themselves before Our Country, as well as incompetent, lacking in honesty & integrity, and with a capital L on their foreheads…

…LOSERS!

It makes me sick to think of all that money being spent for Obama’s big ego. How many people could be fed, how many people could save their homes, how many of our sick can see a doctor, on and on…
All this money being spent, just so Obama can give his great speech at a stadium, even though he’s going to lose, I guess it will be his last hurrah. This would be funny, if it weren’t so sad.
