I recall people saying similar things to the Ron Paul contingent, and yet people are now talking about that as the greatest use of grassroots campaigning in recent memory.

It was actually back in 2004 with Howard Dean candidacy that internet proselitism took center stage as a new way to campaign and fundraising.

Interesting article here:

Hey...Anyone know why Obama didnt take any questions from the crowd? Even that bastard McCain did a question and answer thing....

You know, I don't think Obama's got any balls to cut off,

not sure...

when I saw him speak, he took about 10 questions before heading the next event...

This quote from Obama explains it pretty well:
"That is why last year I opposed the so-called Protect America Act, which expanded the surveillance powers of the government without sufficient independent oversight to protect the privacy and civil liberties of innocent Americans. I have also opposed the granting of retroactive immunity to those who were allegedly complicit in acts of illegal spying in the past.

"After months of negotiation, the House today passed a compromise that, while far from perfect, is a marked improvement over last year's Protect America Act.

Interesting...sounds like Obama's a true supporter of the whole "vote for the lesser of two evils" school.....how fitting. And how sad.

Oh, I never said he really flip-flopped; his policies are just terrible, in general.

i call you on this bullshit- you quoted NMyTree and said you "agree completely"- that obama's done "complete 180's". how is that not an accusation of flip-flopping? perhaps now YOU'RE doing a bit of flip-flopping, eh?

I never said the phrase "agree completely".... I said I have to agree and I EXPANDED on what I was agreeing with... if I had just said I agree then your argument makes sense.

I guess I should've cut some parts out, but why the fuck would I waste my time doing that?

Reading comprehension isn't really her strong point. Just shrug, smile and fear for the future, for she is breeding:D:D

The funny thing is........

That's Obama's whole campaign wrapped up in a nut shell....with a nice smooth and tidy bow.

Everyone else seems to have understood what was being discussed in the posts. You're the only one to have a problem with it. I don't think I should waste my time anymore.

What's with these weird analogies? Last time someone had one about fucking cats or something...

someone complimenting another person means asskissing has been elevated to "an art"?

will you be taking another absence soon?

in addition to asskissing, it would seem that some posters have also lost their ability to notice when someone is ignoring them. they just keep replying away! that is SO CUTE.

NMyTree

It's always better when you don't respond, my dear.

Opening your mouth only ruins it for you.

that's only because "everyone else" is either an asskisser or an ass. which column do you fall into?

that's from a book title. i didn't expect that you'd know it, for obvious reasons. (do outlaws read??) but you needn't have heard it before to appreciate its obvious metaphorical value.

did you actually READ her post? that's not complimenting. that's good old-fashioned "let me not piss off the board mafia" asskissing.

_outlaw wrote:

should be very soon, since nothing of any consequence is ever discussed here and i am already finding myself bored beyond belief. hence my recent vacation from this oasis of obscurity.

so let the asskissing- ok, let's call it brown nosing if that makes you feel more warm & fuzzy- continue unabated!

Don't worry. Next, she'll drag that huge wooden cross out of her closet and nail herself to it. Then we'll all have a hearty laugh.
