Whispers get loud around Michelle Obama

Not surprising. There will be such delegates on both sides. Do you know what it takes to become a delegate?
And then there is the woman talked about last night during the coverage of the Democratic Convention ... she is a former Hillary Clinton supporter who says she will now support McCain. She says she is comfortable doing this because she knows that McCain supports upholding Roe v. Wade.
He does?

Republican Representative Jim Leach of Iowa is endorsing Obama. He's attending the DNC and will speak I believe.

No. It just gets funnier.
And more hypocritical by the moment.
Choosing Biden for VP ... case in point.
Since he pointed out Obama is too inexperienced for The Presidency.
And touting McCain's many accolades.
Sure as shyzer extended political props to McCain.
Obama chose Biden out of desperation.
Only strategic card he had left to play against McCain and The Republicans.
Of Course, not choosing Clinton for VP was Political Suicide for him.
And for The Party.
His adding insult to injury will cause the Clinton supporters, who feel slighted, smited, and shunned, to vote with "emotionality".
Some for McCain. Some not at all.
Just to spite Obama.
But his pompous, arrogant, hubris, belligerent, smug, narcistic self got in the way of intelligent decision.
Because his denial that a White Woman was his last and only Hope.
How ironic.
PS Excuse any misspellings in the Obama adjectives. No time to draw a Dictionary.

If he would have chosen Clinton the GOP would have loved it because they could have brought all of her and her husbands baggage out to place on Obama's shoulders. The fact is he did not choose her because he does not need her. Biden is far more experienced, and a much better running matre. Obama is the democratic nominee therefore it is he decides his running mate. If you can recall the republican primaries the republicans were all over Hillary because they thought she would be the nominee. McCain even got a hearty laugh at another woman referring to her as "the boitch". Now that she is no longer you all want to act like she was Mother Theresa...
Just because (and you admit to) the GOP and McCain knows how to touch nerves in you people to get you all ginned up to vote outside of your interest does not mean that will work on all intelligent people. You are all voting against Obama and not for McCain. The man has no vision or platform. His answer to everything is war. If that is where you wish to see America go that's fine.
Just don't expect clear minded folks to follow.

CAN ONE OF YOU PEOPLE PLEASE GIVE ME A VALID REASON WHY YOU ARE VOTING MCCAIN?!?!?!?!

Depends on if respect is equivocated with compromise and capitulation to demands of rogue nations etc.
They would surely highly regard and respect him.
And the Obama Bimbi who agree with him will think he is admirable ... blah, blah, blah.
As America, American values and traditions go sailing down the river.
The guy is a sell out.

They sell Wrangle and Levy at Walmart.
Maybe you meant their off brand names?
It is quite possible to buy clothes at Wallyworld that aren't made or assembled in China.
You have to take an active interest in the whole story.

70% of their items are from China - that is what I said - 3x actually in this forum.

Walmart was given an "F" rating NOT for their suppliers being foreign, but because their foreign suppliers had been cited for sweatshop abuse. This is what I mean by Walmart's retailer scorecard:

Wrangler and Levy are still made in America. Here is a list of other manufacturers in the US. for all those interested.

I'm certainly a quality over quantity person myself but some disposable and some durable items just don't fit the same bill as clothing. I see no reason to not take advantage of competitive pricing a Walmart for some everyday items.

Yup...hygiene, ots meds, some food items. No way I'll spend $150 at a nearby Stop & Shop when I can spend $100 at WalMart 8 miles further away. I support a few Mom and Pop stores too.

Last I heard is that they are going to be seated. And squabbles are par for the course. It is a tough choice. Must all dissent be squashed (Dem or GOP) for the sake of unity? Both parties struggle with this.

I heard all of Michigan and Florida delegates will be counted at the convention. It won't affect the popular vote, Obama will still have that lead. It was the Obama's suggestion to count those delegates. Sounds like Obama and Pelosi are the new party Dem bosses.

Gunner,
Can you explain to us why you feel this way? I mean he is well respected in the chambers of congress. He is the world wide favorite as evidence from his trip abroad. Why would he be least respected?

Keep your friends close keep your enemy closer? Since when do we ascertain the feelings of the world abroad to our presidential candidates? I'm sure the EU would just love a chance to socialize us and get us on the Euro.

He will be least liked by a certain segment of the population, but he can't change the color of his skin so there is not satisfying those people. Who else besides that group will not respect him?

All the people that see his ticket punching as a a ruse to climb the political ladder. All the people that know he's far to green to run this country. All the people that think that white house is no place for on the job training? All the people that know we are at war and need an competent military leader. All the people that realize that you can't just call terrorist to to the table for a stern talking to or dangle a carrot in front of them to enforce control?

Man I could go on forever.

African-American wrote:

Furthermore that particular group of people holds very little power today. I must respectfully disagree with you. He will be far more respected and far more loved that the current president(at least by the people that matter).

By the weak and unsure. The squishy hearted, hippy crowd and the rest of the radical leftist that need to be led by the hand through life depending on the government to show them the way maybe. Not by those that think for themselves and wish to govern themselves. Not by those that demand less government control and more liberty. Not by those that realize the instability and state of influx our world is in and not by those that do not cow to the anti-military crowd when it comes to the defense OR offense to protect our nations interests.

Emil Jones is also the one who put Obama's name on a number of bills which were already being carried by other Illinois State Senators, so that it would look like Obama was an effective legislator.

The same Email Jones that call one of Hillary's Black Deagates an "Uncle Tom"

Obama only cares about being President! Not us the pople of America!

Hey 40 watt you do realize that rooting for Pelozi with her 9% approval rating is not exactly a resounding endorsement don't you?

What am talking about... N/M

You mean like Princess Tiana? Do you check anything before you speak?

Tiana is a chambermaid. In an upcoming release Disney will upgrade her to a princess. Disney ran out of all the ethnic groups and soon black girls will finally have a Disney princess.

Disney had been horrible to black girls until this new movie comes out. As if black girls can't be princesses. I don't blame Disney, they are out for profit. It's white America that don't want to see a black princess.

I'll give you one: McCain is a Nationalist.
Obama is a Socialist.
What you find hard to accept are:
Cold Hard Facts.
Why else would Socialistic Regimes, Rogue Nations and Governments and Dictators and Fascists etc.
be supporting Obama?
And I don't suppose you have read
"The Global Poverty Act"?
No. Of course not.
That should give you "one" reason not to vote for Obama.
Do you comprehend what Socialistic Agenda is?
Do you comprehend ...
Anything?

What about Obama is socialist??

There you go again with rumor and innuendo..
Why don't you just say he is a Muslim terrorist. Why stop with socialism?

Get real dude. Come with facts and save all that catch phrases for your conversations with the fellow dopes.

Back your claims.

I comprehend very well. If you can come with a cogent argument and not the factoids that you piece together from this blog that blog this idiot and that redneck, then perhaps we could get somewhere.

Ok ok you don't have to yell.

I just feel that even a slightly educated consumer can shop at any of the big box stores and still by American.

Disney has arab, Indian, white, asian but no black princesses. Disney had been awful to black girls for the last century.

Yes, and Tiana is actually African-American. It's been in the works for over 5 years and the name of the movie and character have changed several times.
What I find interesting about Rochelle's comment-well, one thing I find interesting-is that Disney has been making movies with different ethnicities for years. Apparently, though, if they don't have the black princess, it doesn't count. Was it more important to have a black princess than the others? Should they have displaced a different ethnicity in favor of the black princess? If so, that would by definition be racism.
This inability to deal with racism within themselves is what leads to the "uncle tom" comments of this week.

Tiana is a chambermaid. In the new upcoming Disney movie she will be upgraded to a princess. Disney has been awful to black girls for a century.

No one is talking about killing your young.

Everyone has control over her body. If she wants to eliminate a parasite in her body, it's her right to remove it.

You are overlooking one small fact.
He needs votes.
Regarding all you have stated below:
Obama should have pulled away and leading.
His strategy is showing its flaws.
It's not working.
Biden is a pit bull.
And that may be all he can lend.
But that won't equal votes.
AA we have all given you reasons.
Your mind is set.
That's fine.
But don't waste my time with hyperbolic, rhetorical questions and comments.
And debating and arguing the clinton-mother teresa-republican agenda against Obama and the botched Democratic Party.
Obama did this debacle to himself.
He didn't need any help from The Republicans.
No. Obama has his own baggage to carry.
And it's getting heavier.
And Biden is not going to capable of lessening that load.

Nah, you know what it is?
It's the less educated feminists sympathizers.
They outnumber male voters by a landslide. The problems are displayed in the likes of Denise. To dumb to do anything about it, so they bitch about and whine incessantly that it's mans fault or white men's fault. All the while possessing the ability to overwhelmingly do something about it.
They do it for attention, not out of true desire. Momma didn't hug them enough, daddy was away at work to often, they were picked on in schools. Whatever the case may be.

Error, but they don't b1tch, moan and gossip on a political forum about a black woman.
