I had forgotten that he was using Americorp money on his Public Allies. It will be us paying for them if he should happen to win the election. I still think there is other money being invested in this - not just the Americorp money.
2/3rds I don’t know if he would try to put something like public allies together if he lost. It could be used to terrorise the whole US, especially if it is mostly ne’er do wells who dont “need” jobs. Oh, I think Soros - all by his lonely - could afford that if it meant the destruction of the US.
This particular ploy of his scares me more than the rest. Just think about what mayhem he could cause.
hmmm, quick index finger, I guess. sorry for 2 posts.
Secret Weapon
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 5:16 PM It's somewhat amusing to think that the Obama campaign might really believe that Hillary Clinton is going to help Barack win Pennsylvania, for two reasons. First, since when was Hillary Clinton really the blue collar male voter's candidate of choice? Could it be that they voted less for her than against her arugula-loving elitist primary opponent? Second, if the Obama campaign really thinks Hillary is committed to seeing their man win -- well, let's just hope that they don't take that level of naivete into negotiations with Putin.
What may be being overlooked a bit in all the Obama camps calculations is Todd Palin's appeal to blue-collar men. I can see the voters both campaigns are after resonating more to a snow-mobiling union "regular guy" than to a presidential candidate who sees them as "bitter" -- or his running mate, whose working class roots have been somewhat softened around the edges by years of Senate bloviating.
The entire Palin family is simply more genuine, more real, and more easily identified with than either Ding Dong or Plugs.
From Sarah to Todd to Bristol (yes, everybody knows a family who has dealt with an unexpected teen pregnancy or other difficulties) to the son who is leaving in a few days for Iraq to Piper and her sisterly spit-comb to little Trig himself.
There’s a line in the movie “Amadeus” where Mozart is pleading with the royal to allow his opera be shown and asks isn’t everybody tired with (pp)”those who speak from lofty perches and s*it marble”.
That’s what the democrat ticket evokes in middle America. IMO.
Good evening everybody, mil had 82nd birthday today and we had neighbors in for cake and some live music from yours truly and Mr. Prairie.
Not today.
I was hoping the 'Fins would win. I'm mad at Brett. For, you know, being such a flip-flopping jerk & everything. "I wanna play. I don't wanna play. I wanna play but not here."
Sheesh.
I'm going to the Packers opener tomorrow night. GO AARON!!!!!
New Gallup Poll: Convention lifts McCain over Obama (54%-44% among Likely Voters)
So, this means that not only did McCain erase the 3 or 4 point lead that Nobama had, but gained an additional 10 points. That is a 13 or14 point BOUNCE! Conservatism works every time it is tried.
Not only is Todd Palin appealing to blue collar workers, but to women who like men who can step in and take over when Mom is busy doing the people’s work. They say that Sarah doesn’t suffer fools well....I don’t think Todd does either. I’ve read somewhere, here on FR, that Todd has taken a leave of absence from BP to help his wife during the campaign and if “they” win, he’ll be a stay at home Dad until her duties for the American public are complete.
I agree Til, I think Todd Palin will appeal to the blue collar workers.
2/3 thanks for filling me in on zerobama’s history. Oh how I hope he was born in Kenya!!!
Good night all. See you in the morning.
Good night, Kassie. Keep those toes propped.
I didn't realize you had your MIL there with you, pb.
I'm sure she enjoyed the extra fuss you made over her b'day. Way to Go!!
>>will appeal to the blue collar workers
Palin is the only non-lib of the four
This is true. McCain is somewhere in between and the other 2 are RADICAL LEFTIST libs.
Good morning, Rav.
Good morning. Take heart from Raven’s and my links. It is too early to be rejoicing; those polls don’t count.
But they are a bit encouraging.
Going to start the new thread...
This story about 0man wanting to join the military...what a hoot. This man is seriously weird. He mustn't be elected!!
