I sincerely hope the Obama people are watching the Siegelman story
closely.

The GOP has the power to kill the 60 Min story in parts of Alabama. These people, the evil despicable people have that much power.

8. Are you kidding me? My point is the Obama looks to get the nom
I hope he has his battle plan because it is imperative we get a Dem president for the sake of the county. The people WILL to to any length and I mean any length to take him, or any Dem, as the Siegelman story proves, down. Have you been following the story at all? or do you only care about Obama? Are you an independent?. I call myself a DEMOCRAT and I care about my party and all other democrats, and we need to pull together and fight this, as I would be fighting for Obama if this was him.

14. No, dear. Surviving it.
But you want it? You got it. And Obama WILL win because the Democrat will win. BREAD is going thru the roof. You thought oil was expensive? Order a sandwich.

6. Why just the Obama people?
Do you think Hillary would be immune to their tactics? They impeached her husband for a BJ ... and he was a popular president!

Bottom line: they are going to go after the Democratic nominee ... period. It doesn't matter who it is - that person will be under constant attack. We can't choose OUR nominee based on THEIR dirty tricks.

12. I didn't even mention Hills name
We are DEMOCRATS for petes sake. If Hillary was in the lead, I would be saying the same thing. In fact if it was Hill instead of Siegelman in jail I would be doing just as I am right now.

Would you?

13. Yes, we are Democrats, which is why the comment seemed a bit odd to me.

You said, "I sincerely hope the Obama people are watching the Siegelman story" not "I sincerely hope all Democrats are watching the Siegelman story"

It sounded like you were implying that only Obama would be a target, but Hillary would be fine. Apparently, I misuderstood what you meant. Sorry. :-)

In fact if it was Hill instead of Siegelman in jail I would be doing just as I am right now.

Would you?


Um ... I don't understand. Why wouldn't I be doing what I'm doing now? I thought the point you were making was about the GOP's tactics and power. What difference does it make who's in jail? :shrug: I'm not trying to be difficult ... maybe I'm just a little slow tonight. :silly:

15. They have more power than that, AmandaRuth.
They're able to force msm to frame 'news' as they want, among other things,
and they stole 2004 election and people STILL refer to Kerry as looser.
