I signed it. It was very short and to the point and went out to all 3 of my Representatives both D and R.

It was under 3,000 when I filled it out and over when my husband did. Lets make it happen.

Also at AOL Political news Andrew Sullivan was doing a straw poll asking if Sarah Palin was a pathological liar. You may wish to go vote. No registration required for that.

Bad guys win.
Optimism’s wearing thin.
Things are spinning out of control.
Cynicism’s all the fad.
World events could make us mad
as hatters.
Almost every day
some underpinning slips away.
These aren’t laughing matters.

Time bombs tick.
People keep on getting sick.
And a nickel’s not worth a cent.
Wickedness and greed abound.
Just as peace is gaining ground
it shatters.
Hate is here to stay,
and justice goes to those who pay.
Friend, these aren’t laughing matters.

The truth is scarier by far
than anything that Stephen King could write.
The stories in the paper are
the daily small decline and fall
spelled out in black and white.

Oh, what to do, what to do
how to take a brighter view
when your noodle’s totally fried.
Human spirits need to be
leavened by a little levity.
So take those blues
and bounce them off the wall.
Keep your humor please,
’cause don’t you know it times like these that
laughing matters most of all.

My mom stuffed packets last week and they also have terminals that you can write letters to the media or editors about the campaign.

There is lots of work to do. And anyone who shows up is welcome gay, straight, bi-, democrat, independent, republican, teen, elderly, no kidding they are all there.

Mondays are ladies night
Wednesdays are Veterans night

For the McCain people to try and make an issue out of his allegations would only make them look stupid and would diminish the impact of the many things that Obama can legitmiately be criticized for, such as his cozy ties with seniot officials at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

no idea where first came up in my head

2nd D

2nd to none

Not sure if they are still there. Many went to Iraq but I don’t know if they took them all out. I haven’t kept up really but did see the patch on some soldiers in Iraq on one of the news stations not long ago.

Probably FOX because the other two never cover the soldiers.

NO MORE!!!

I hope they throw the book at him, the sleaze!!!

I reread Nancy’s original post

“Undermining McCain Campaign Attack, Republicans Back Obama‘s Version of Meeting with Iraqi Leaders”

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/undermining-mcc.html

In abc blog- Obama campaign is naming names as supposed witnesses who oppose what journalist wrote about how Sen Obama tried to delay US troops being allowed to return home.

Are we talking about two different meetings that took place in Iraq this past July 2008?

One where Obama along with Bush officials met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and another separate private meeting between Obama and Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari?

And can I infer that it was in private meeting with Zebari that Obama made this request to delay allowing US troops to go home?

ABC BLOG WILL INTENTIONALLY OR ACCIDENTALLY

confuse voters .

Obama team could use abc blog (unethically) as proof to refute what took place in a totally different meeting.

So, Bush’s people who attended public meeting can be used to confuse voters who think that Bush’s people are refuting private meeting converstaion…when in fact, they are arguing about discussion that took place in totally different meeting.

Abc blog (Jake Tapper) MUST clarify this. His article can easily confuse voters .

If 2 separate meetings occurred-then, in effect, Obama campaign has NOT BEEN ABLE TO REFUTE what journalist Taheri’s article says about Obama trying to delay troops’ return.

Read what the NY Post writer says about Obama campaign accusations:

http://www.nypost.com/seven/09172008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/obama_objects_129453.htm

“The Obama campaign has objected. While its statement says my article was “filled with distortions,” the rebuttal actually centers on a technical point: the differences between two Iraqi-US accords under negotiation – the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA, to set rules governing US military personnel in Iraq) and the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA, to settle the legal basis for the US military presence in Iraq in the months and years ahead).

The Obama camp says I confused the two. It continues: “On the Status of Forces Agreement, Sen. Obama has always said he hoped that the US and Iraq would complete it – but if they did not, the option of extending the UN mandate should be considered.
“As to the Strategic Framework Agreement, Sen. Obama has consistently said that any security arrangements that outlast this administration should have the backing of the US Congress – especially given the fact that the Iraqi parliament will have the opportunity to vote on it.”

If there is any confusion, it’s in Obama’s position – for the two agreements are interlinked: You can’t have any US military presence under one agreement without having settled the other accord. (Thus, in US-Iraqi talks, the aim is a comprehensive agreement that covers both SOFA and SFA.)
And the claim that Obama only wanted the Strategic Framework Agreement delayed until a new administration takes office, and had no objection to a speedy conclusion of a Status of Forces Agreement, is simply untrue. “

Speculation here on my part BUT…

Question…why would Bush officials refute what they know might/could hurt the credibility of the campaign of a candidate from the REPUBLICAN party who is running for president? What did Sen McCain do to upset the Neocons? OR what did Sen Obama offer the neocons? or…why would Taheri or Zebari have reason to lie?
