It REALLY is official.....He supports OBAMA.....He had a huge banner came out mid show at the first Berkeley show. SO, I think that strongly says who he is voting for.

for kicks switch around the can't and the don't
I don't support Obama. I can't support the war.
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

good people tricked into supporting a war... how do you end it
its sad
He obviously is selling out, like he did when he joined this band.
Ya... I just fucking did.
I'm only half kidding here. Weak. I just hope Obama isn't lying. I'm almost willing to vote for him to find out.

How the hell do you find out about secret shows? Obviously it isn't easy or they wouldn't be secret, but there's gotta be some tips on how to figure out when/where they are played...
These shows were only a few blocks from my house...
I think I'll pass.
And to be clear, I was speaking of a monetary donation. I guess he really doesn't love the guy the way Stone seems to but rather is pushing a 'anyone but McCain' type strategy. Just my speculation, though, could be wrong.

Social awareness does not equal political activism!
5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
It seems really neat, because they market and talk it up like it's the next best thing since sliced bread. Seems like it can do a thousand cool things and do it well.
So you get sucked in and buy into it.
Then you get a package, open it up to use it.
First time you try to use it, you realize it's just another worthless, flimsy piece of plastic which is useless, certainly not functional and that you won't accomplish a damn thing with it.
So you chuck into the back of your closet with the rest of your useless plastics gadgets. And it fits right in with the rest of the useless plastic crap; where it will sit for the next four to eight years. Till it's time to clean out your closet, again.
Obama is the George Foreman Grill of late night products.....Those things are fantastic!!!!
This could be the worst analogy I've ever read. Thumbs down.

Oh that is not being fair. I have been told on this board by many Obama supporters that Obama is the only way to vote if I want to end this war and I need to 'realize it', that my thoughts on withdrawal and foreign policy are irrational because I don't like Obama's views on it, that a vote for Nader is a vote for Mickey Mouse or McCain and those are off the top of my head. Let's not look the other way when it's people you agree with. It's not just people from any 'group'...it's all over the place from all types here.

I'm okay with that.
Doesn't detract from the fact that it's accurate.
The George Foreman Grill actually works very well. You just have to clean it well, after every cooking session.
So I disagree with it being an analogy for Obama.
I started this thread b/c there was so much speculation around who he was supporting. Even after the poster came out. That's all......
Peace....

You are right Abook, I have been guilty of this myself. But to call Obama supporters sheep and Obamamaniacs is clearly showing your jealousy of our candidate. He has as many supporters, actually way more supporters that understand his views than the other candidates. But because he also has great charisma and a likable personality he gathers many more supporters. I don't think it's such a bad thing that he is able to galvanize support through these characteristics. If only Nader or Kucinich had these traits, maybe they would have a shot.
Baaaahaarack 08....yes I'm a sheep now. Either that or goatboy
And it is my experience to be marginalized as 'radical' or 'far left' not to mention 'unrealistic' and irrational' by Obama supporters here and elsewhere for supporting Nader. I acknowledge both happen. And I don't think of Obama supporters as sheep. I think most of you, at least here, are voting strategically...which would of course, involving a line of reasoning. I may disagree and question that reasoning but I don't view it as thoughtless or without reason.
All I am trying to say is lets be fair and realize these attempts to discredit people who disagree are coming from both sides.

I don't expect someone like Nader to be the type to sell himself. He's so good at what he does because he stays focused on his goals and is a type A personality that is mostly concerned with learning all he can on a subject and getting the job done. If he were the more social butterfly type, I doubt he would have accomplished all the things he has. He has pretty much devoted his entire life to his causes, protecting the citizenry, is unmarried and doesn't seem to have much of a social life. I view him as sacrificing all that for the better good or good fight. He's out there for us all and I appreciate all he has done for us.
I don't need my elected officials to be charismatic. I need to see that they have been out there working hard and have things to show for that hard work most importantly. Nader has proven himself capable and trustworthy. I can't say the same for Obama. And it worries me that some people overlook the lack of accomplishments in the Senate and on a community level and instead focus on what a great speaker he is or how likeable he is. None of that proves you can get the job done or that he will in fact do all the things he is promising, either. I think that if people gave up this fascination with celebrity and public personas, we'd start getting the type of leaders we need, imo.

Yes, by election results not ideology. I'm speaking of the remarks made about our reasoning, idealism and proposed solutions to our problems as being radical or far left when before election season these same people generally agreed with these ideas and supported them. It seems that now, since these ideas aren't part of Obama's plans, they are unrealistic and extreme.
