sorta pisses me off, and lets me know Barack Obama is MUCH MORE DLC than any of you thought. The corporations will still have their horrid tentacles in everything.

And that sucks.

With that being said, even the DLC is better than the repigs, so...

14. oh come on now.
at least they share a platform wherein reproductive health is a decision made at home, and not by some gestapo. And since there are quite a few on Obama's team, it looks like we'll be dealing their way for a little while. Maybe it's just what he has to do to get there. Lord knows they'll steal it (again) if they can.

7. but the credit card industry hoopla is. Of course, the Biden/Romney debates might be more fun than
the Obama/McCain ones, and he does have a lot of foreign policy experience, so that's good.

6. Obama can pick someone who had different views than him.
Biden or not its unfair to say Obama i just like whoever he picks as VP.

9. I got your subject line, but the body was a bit ambiguous...
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 12:29 AM by RedShoes
and I am just sayin' it sorta pisses me off. Not in the "I'm voting for McCain" way, but in the "I'm a wee bit let down from that" way.

8. When representing the whole country and not just Delaware
Biden would not have to vote favorably to the credit card companies. But in Delaware in the 90s, credit card companies were major employers. Some of the state laws favor them, too. Everyone in the state is fine with it, after all, many work for them.

It's human nature. It explains the idiots who still support *. The military industrial complex, after all, must employ many people.

11. This is true, and certainly something to consider...
he shouldn't really bites the hand that feeds his state, but it sucks on a progressive level. But, again, he'll slaughter Romney in the debates, if they don't put a muzzle on him. THAT will be good times. :popcorn:

16. Hope you're right and Biden acts differently as VP
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 01:04 AM by tokenlib
Too many people are hurting right now--and the lenders have gotten enough of their crap through Congress. And if Biden doesn't repeat his helping the banks he'll be an awesome VP.

10. I really couldn't give two shits...
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 12:30 AM by TTUBatfan2008
I have plenty of issues with Obama. But I am confident he will not crank up a war with Iran like McNopoly would. I am afraid that a war with Iran leads to a draft here in the U.S. I am 22 years old so you catch my drift here.

12. Oh, now, I didn't say I'd throw the baby out with the bathwater, I just said,
"Pffft." I favor an end to the beginnings of all wars. I love FDR like that.
