I started tossing change from purchases made during the day into a plastic cup. In just 11 days, I've gathered $8.63. If 18,000,000 of you cry-babies would do the same, and send it to poor, Ms. Down and Out, she'd have $133,340,000 in the her kitty for 2012!!! That's after paying her $22,000,000 debt off. That's right, for the price of two venti Starbucks coffees (sorry for rubbing it in referencing latte's, and eeg-heads)!!! Or, on the other hand, she could use the $40,000,000 she had stashed away in her General Election fund!!! Oops, does anyone remember that stash? I’ve been on a business trip for about two weeks.

Hillary should be our nominee, Obama is to inexperienced, to radical, and everyone seems anti Obama, which is how I feel. But I wonder what will happen to all these blogs when the convention is over? Even now some of them seem to be moving into Obama's camp. I know one thing for SURE, this 60 year old will NEVER, and I do mean NEVER, come over to Obama's side, no matter what Hillary or any other democratic says to try to convince me. The fact remains, Obama scares the chit out of me, I do honestly feel(with all my heart) he is a radical Islamic Muslim, out to to the US harm, and for that reason I will be voting for McCain this year, at least I know he loves America. The first Republican I have ever voted for in my 40 year voting history. For the past few months I have been reading all these Hillary supporter blogs, and they have been saying exactly what I feel.

It's all about cultural expectations and the emphasis on being defined by husband, marriage and children. Not that there is anything wrong with that life unless it creates limitations. If anything should be clear after this election, it is the reaction to capable and ambitious women. I don't know why I keep thinking Shakespeare tonight, but from Mark Anthony's speech to the senate in Rome speaking of Caesar, <i>"The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answered it ..."</i>. For some reason ambition is admirable in men and despised in women. There is no doubt whatsoever, the media ambushed Hillary and anyone who says it's not so, drank more than kool aid. She's had a lot of experience with that, but I am sure the reaction (or lack of) by the DNC and even women's groups confused her and delayed her campaign. Every time she took the gloves off, she was harassed. I don’t think it’s ego, exactly. It’s all about cultural expectations and the emphasis on being defined by husband, marriage and children.

Dejection, poignancy, regret and anger. But isn't this label of "boomer" sad also? I've never liked it, although I suppose it is better than x,y or zgen. There are so many other things which defined the 60s and 70s better than just being born post war and post greatest gen. Obama's rejection of the upheaval and real pain is just another reason to question the depth of his understanding. I am angry anyone would compare him to JFK, MLK or Bobby Kennedy. His personal struggle to find his identity as a bi racial man raised by middle class white grandparents seems shallow and superficial to those who fought for Civil Rights, against the war in Vietnam and women's rights. His rejection of the Clintons life of service and dedication strikes me as selfish and egocentric. My admiration and affection for Hillary and Bill will not change because they have (publicly) said they will support Obama. I have lived long enough to know not to judge their choice and, at the same time, make the decision I feel is right for me. I've received an email from both in the last few days asking donations and support for Obama. I want to help pay off Hillary's debt, but I'm afraid any donation I make now could go to the DNC or Obama. Maybe they were ransome notes because I feel they are being held captive.

As near as I can tell, it's republican economic policies and tax policies that have resulted in more wealth being concentrated in fewer hands than at any other time in modern history.

The prime rate hit 21.5%. We had recession, double-digit inflation, and the hostage situation in Iran. We didn't just have high gasoline prices, we had shortages. People sometimes parked in lines for hours to fill up their tanks. If my judgement was poor when I went for Reagan's pitch, it wasn't any different than that of the the majority of American voters. Hey, I thought you democratic McCain supporters were supposed to be the latter-day version of Reagan Democrats? If I had poor judgement then, at least I've gotten over it.

Presidents take credit when Congress isn't screwing up and the economy is working and presidents get blamed when Congress screws up and blows money out its ass and the economy sucks. Just because the public is ignorant of who is screwing them doesn't mean its not true. Presidents don't write the legislation that builds bridges to nowhere and spends a fortune finding out why prisoners don't like it in jail. Congress does. And pulling together means jack shit if its under a Marxist yolk. And not being angry about being robbed, cheated and stolen from is simply stupid. Go read a civics book sometime.

He didn’t grow up playing little league. He didn’t proudly march down main street in a 4th of July parade. Does he have family members who served in both world wars? Did he stand at attention, hand over heart and say the pledge of allegiance as a kid before the start of the school day? Does he know what it means to be a boy scout? Did you ever go fishing with Grandpa Mr. Obama? Did Grandpa teach you a little woodworking as he shared his view of the world? Did momma teach you that in the end, we all have to answer to a higher authority? Did anyone in the convoluted family of yours teach you that there are things worth living for and yes sir, Mr. Obama there are things worth dieing for? Did any one teach you any of this stuff?
