95. Hyperbole & breathless panting @ stealthy, liar candidates isn't okay.
Edited on Sat Apr-07-07 07:13 AM by djmaddox1
But thanks for your concern!

Should I take it that your answer to my question is that you only support the Dem that takes the cash? Sad ... but hey, whatever floats YOUR dinghy!

I have no problem w/the guys statement that you snipped ... I just don't see that it lends the sinister aura that it seems you wanted to find:

snip/
“He won’t take our money but we can go out and campaign for him,” he said. “I’m more than happy to campaign for the guy because the country is in dire need of honest leadership.”

He's right @ that, honest leadership IS a needed quality. Maybe turning down the $$$ helped to convince the guy?

and snip/
Williams, a former aide to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), said he was in contact with Durbin’s office to plot out ways to get more young voters interested in Obama.

What an evvviiiilllll man! He actually admitted he was PLOTTING! Oooooooh!


Look, I like Edwards. I like Obama. I like most of our candidates. I'll even admit I loves me some Al Gore. But my support isn't predicated on the amount of mud that's slung - it's gonna be based on the candidate's strengths & what they can do for us. ALL of us. Including the red voter dumasses that I don't agree with 99% of the time! Obama turning down cash & STILL generating support from those who are used to selling thier loyalty strikes me as a strength, not some sinister backroom plot. You would to better by pointing out the stuff that you DO like @ the other candidates, rather than this garbage.

Or to put it in short, simple terms: Don't piss on my leg & tell me it's raining. NOT taking money is NOT being bought - even a 'ho has to have the cash change hands to get busted.
