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.

    Not surprising considering the Kerry endorsement of '04. Maybe he'll support him enough to contribute to his campaign soon. ;)

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Who cares who Eddie supports?

    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.

    i'm not looking for a fight, i'm just wondering why he's supporting obama and not nader. what are his thoughts on nader's candidacy? i know no one here knows; i'm just thinking out loud.

    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.

    I'm willing to bet he wrote a pro-Obama song, before anyone, and he's waiting for the best moment to sing it. ;)

    Obama, his publicity campaign and his effect on many Americans is like one of those late night commercials for some goofy product (that always seems to come on TV when it's 2:30 AM and you're stoned).


    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.

    This could be the worst analogy I've ever read. Thumbs down.

    Yeah, there is no single rational person that supports Obama...... Keep thinking that. One thing the hard left and the far right can agree on, anyone that doesn't share their opinion is being irrational and is somehow inferior (usually folks on the right will say morally, folks on the hard left would say intellectually). Who needs to respect people with different opinions anyway?

    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.
