I would bet that I have given more to Obama's campaign for President than you have.
Technically, Spud can't contribute to Obama's campaign at all so if you gave him even a penny then yer doing better than Spud there.
btw, if Obama had held his current flipped positions on FISA and trade and guns and public financing in the primaries, he wouldn't be the nominee.
Not true.
First off, nobody gives a flying fuck about his position on public financing. That one was a no-brainer. He's never been anti-trade and now he wants to include progressive language and enviromental safeguards into already existing policies so wot's to dislike there?
Guns? The right have tried to back Barack into a corner vis a vis his stand on the Constitutionality of the Gun Bans in DC and Chicago. He's stated that the second ammendment "means something" beyond support fer state militias rights which means individual gun owners rights. Spud thinks his support fer the ludicrous gun bans has to evolve.
FISA? That really is his first big break with the left since he started campaigning.
Despite the fact that that he rightfully opposes retroactive immunity to the telcoms and insists that he's gonna "monitor" the program as POTUS, the fact that he's signed off on the legislation in order to fight the "soft on terror" meme spilling out of the GOPher camp is disconcerting to lefties such as Spud.
Given the legitimate threats we face, providing effective intelligence collection tools with appropriate safeguards is too important to delay. So I support the compromise, but do so with a firm pledge that as president, I will carefully monitor the program
Not enuff to make one think able Hillary's viability however.
Spud would much rather trust Obama to keep an eye on the situation than Hillary due to the fact that she is, by far, the more corporately beholden and untrustable candidate of the two.
Here it is expressed mathematically...
Obama > Hillary > Chia Pet > McCain > Bush.
If Hillary had won the nod she woulda had a much harder time inspiring the large voter turnouts and enthusiasm that Obama brings to the table.
Also, ...considering the fact that the vast majority of yer posts were slams at Obama rather than pro-Hillary pieces yer really the last motherfucker who should be whining about yer candidate being called names.
calling a good Dem, Hillary Clinton, a cunt
O Rly?
Don't think so.
Be Well.
