Kay, I am late to the thread today and I can’t stay long. I am happy to see you will join us to vote for Obama.
I accept your ideals and principles, but unfortunately, we have to face the reality of the system and a vote for someone outside of the system will simply aid McCain. We can’t afford that. Not economically. Not internationally. And certain not in regard to the Supreme Court.
Over the next few years the strong likelihood is that a justice will be named to the SCOTUS — we need a level headed Democrat to nominate a level-headed person — McCain would bring in another Scalia, Thomas, Roberts or Alito.
That would seal the fate in the demise of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as we have known it for 200 years.

Here’s a story for those who think they don’t know Obama – maybe they can relate.

After appearing here, Obama … is looking forward to “a date” tonight with his wife, Michelle, a round of golf on Saturday (”the best I can do is the low 80s,” Obama said) and a bike ride with his children on Sunday…
On Saturday night, Obama will face a challenge familiar to many American parents: Eight 7-year-olds are due at his house for a birthday sleepover in honor of his daughter, Sasha.

“These kids are planning to make pizza so who knows what our kitchen will look like,” Obama said. “They shouldn’t call these sleepovers. They should call them wake-overs.”

I’m back.

I took a walk.

And having a little time to reflect, I am going to vote for Obama. Although, I would like to vote for Cynthia McKinney –I really have to vote for who will most likely keep McCain out of the White House.

I am sorry about my behaviour before. But, I will never apologize for believing that until this country faces it’s darkest secrets: 9/11 — we will continue with this reckless foreign policy where Israel is armed and coddled.

Until there is a light exposing the Truth about 9/11 and we move away from a Military Economy: our infrastructure will continue to crumble, our economy will continue to crumble, our Constitution and Bill of Rights will continue to be trampled upon, our Moral standing in the world will continue to erode (see: secret prisons), our men and women will continue to come home after putting themselves in harms way and find that they’ve been abandoned (see: Walter Reed Hospital)

Our senior citizens will continue to have to choose between a whole dose of medicaion or not eating, gas prices will continue to rise because there is no regulation from our government, hard working Americans will continue to lose their homes because this government does not care…

I just hope Mr. Obama can heal this nation and as he does the world will heal from the life-sucking policies of George Bush
II.

Katy, compared with the Likud, Kadima IS moderate. It’s all relative. I posted several useful articles from the so-called Israel Policy Center (a small, relatively progressive Washington DC think tank headed by M J Rosenberg) on my blog just now, that I think give an accurate round-up of the situation. Just click my name.

But, I do take serious offence to being called a poser.

Then perhaps you should stop acting like one.

Look, I do support Obama and I probably will vote for him. I was just entertaining the idea of voting for Cynthia McKinney.
I meant no offence, seriously, about the Hussein remark. Please, believe me. And about repeating the “I will vote” thing was just plain retarded, I admit it. But, I do take serious offence to being called a poser.

I have no mind of my own.

And repeating that does what? As far as I am concerned, you are venturing into troll territory. I used to have some respect for you as a poster. I no longer do.

I’m unclear on what you are saying here. Are you saying that we need another 4 years of Republican rule?

thanks, Zooey.

from Kay Hussein

I’m curious as to why you would call yourself “Kay Hussein” when you are obviously down on Obama as evidenced by your mocking post in #84.

I agree with Zooey, vote for whomever you want. But don’t mock us for who we are supporting.

Some people, including myself, think that voting for Cynthia McKinney is a vote for McCain. Think what this country would be like if all those people who voted for Nader in 2000 had voted for Gore instead.

Katy,

I don’t know much about JStreet. Rowan provided some insights. He made it sound like the Freedom’s Watch for Ehud Olmert/Tzipi Livni and their Kadima Party.

I looked at their Press Releases and they only have three, all from April or May 2008.

http://www.jstreet.org./page/press-releases

From that it could be a new group or it’s just getting active. With possible elections in Israel, due to Prime Minister Olmert’s unpopularity and ethical problems, JStreet could mobilize more American money for the right candidates. They do have a donations button!

Katy,

You are so insulting. I do not pretend to be anything.
Just like you cannot pretend to be a nice person.

Jump right in, new members of the ranks of the unemployed! The water’s foul, dangerous, and bitterly cold! You’ll learn how to live on one meal a day, cut your own hair, and pull your own teeth. What fun! After you’ve enjoyed about three years of it, as I have, you’ll realize that no one gives a f*%k–especially not your government (unless, of course, you aren’t able to pay your taxes on the piddly unemployment you get for the first few months. Then they’ll notice you).

America, America, Repubs piddle thy grace on thee…
