Anglachel's Journal: Light on Blogging

Anglachel's Journal: Light on Blogging

This is a very good analysis of the weakness in Obama, and the failings of race baiting by his supporters.

Take heart, the election will not be about the color of Obama's skin. It has and always will be about his qualifications.

rooting for the faux messiah

hear the prayers by PUMAs for our democracy: (@riverdaughter.wordpress.com commentor michael P Varvel, on August 19th, 2008 at 11:13 pm, Said:)


Dear Creator Father Mother God/dess

Tonight I am going to be selfish tonight not for me but for these my friends many who I may never meet but whom I hold as dear to me as my closest neighbors and friends.

I have never in my life seen such selfless dedication to duty as I have seen here in the midst of the PUMA Just Say No Deal Alliance. These individuals have dedicated their time talent and treasure and sacrificed for their beliefs that this great Democracy this enduring republic should not parish and descend into tyranny and complete despotism.

I have seen them slandered and abused for their belief that our country deserves only the best and that that person is our Hillary R Clinton. I am unable to express the joy I felt when I first came here to this outpost of sanity. Here I found intellectual giants who only a few weeks before were just average Americans committed to Democratic victory in November.

I could read in their words the disbelief in how the process of selecting the best qualified candidate was corrupted and manipulated against their candidate. When most bowed to the perceived inevitable these few who became the many did not back down. They stood up for what they knew as right, and with the dedication seen in Americans from generations before they set to the task of making the world right again.

Tonight Creator I ask humbly that everything that is; happens according to your plan and I know we are part of your plan. For the hearts of men and women delegates in Denver, ask they not to be hardened towards our Hillary that they be open so they can see the path to righting the wrong and standing up for us. Make Denver the place where right met might and right won.

As the inspired word said bear us up on eagle’s wings that a new dawn may shine on the daughter of your highly favored land and breath forth the word that justice has moved and our Hillary is again our champion. May the world may again see America as the lighted lamp beside the golden door.

Amen

rooting for the wrong leader for change...

seems like our presumptous nominee and leader-select has been having some problems lately. here, i offer some advice to devoted obama supporters to show them what their messaiah can do to show he is for REAL change.

here are some examples of the things that the other candidate has put out since Jun 3 while obama's been out prancing about the globe:

July 10, 2008 Fight for civil liberties! - voted NO on FISA

July 23, 2008 Fight for women's health! -

July 30,2008 Fight for equal pay!- In 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act (EPA) into law, making it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform equal work. At the time, women earned 59 cents to every dollar earned by men. Today, a pay gap persists, as women earn 77 cents to every dollar that men earn. The Institute of Women's Policy Research found that this wage disparity will cost women anywhere from $400,000 to $2 million over a lifetime in lost wages. An April Senate report found that in contrast to previous slowdowns, the current economic downturn "is hitting women harder than men. They are suffering more job losses and larger reductions in wages than the general population." Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) have introduced the Paycheck Fairness Act (PFA), which will strengthen current laws against wage discrimination. The bill passed the House Education And Labor Committee last week and is scheduled to come to a floor vote later this week. As DeLauro urged, "The marketplace alone will not correct this injustice -- that is why we need a legislative solution."

August 6, 2008 Shout out againt no-bid contracts! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121798030763715107.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries

see, there are lots and lots of things that O-savior can do to win over the disgruntled PUMAs. just look at how much can be achieved behind the scenes when the camera's are not rolling.

oh, as for all his policy flip-flops... please have him stop doing it. saying he's for gas-tax and tapping into petro-reserve and off-shore drilling all at once after he's have said you were against them all is just, well, over-doing it? obama's betting people aren't paying attention... but that's kind of hard when he's running on over-exposure.

just follow the lady's lead. she's already thought about all these issues and "triangulated and caluculated" the set of policy solutions that will lead to most consistency and have the highest possibility of working. please just do what she's advocated and have him learn how to defend it like she does and he'll do fine! the kingdom is obama's to lose! so please pass these humble advice along... or else it'll be McSame McCain!!!

AN OBAMA SUPPORTER EXPLAINS IT ALL TO US.

MR: So tell me, what has Senator Obama ever accomplished that qualifies him to be President of the United States?

OS: There you go again playing the old politics of the past.

MR: So accomplishment is the old politics of the past?

OS: Yes.

MR: So the new politics, the one Senator Obama and you support and represent is that you don’t have to actually have done anything to be President.

OS: Senator Obama represents hope.

MR: Hope for what?

OS: Hope.

MR: Hope for hope?

OS: Yes.

MR: I see.

OS: And Senator Obama represents change.

MR: What kind of change? from what to what?

OS: Just change.

MR: But it has to be change from something to something. That’s what change is.

OS: Senator Obama stands for a new change in Washington and a new change in politics, ejecting the old politics of the past.

MR: The old politics where you had to actually accomplish something

OS: Yes. And hope and change.

MR: But you cant say what kind of hope and change

OS: Not yet.

MR: Why not?

OS: He hasn’t told us yet.

MR: Do you expect him to?

OS: I don’t know.

MR: What kind of change are we talking about?

OS: A new beginning.

MR: Wouldn’t anyone represent a new beginning after 8 years of Bush?

OS: Not this kind of beginning.

MR: And what kind of beginning is that?

OS: A beginning of hope and change.

MR: If Senator Obama represents change from the old politics why did he use an old Washington insider to vet his vice presidential candidates and then have to dump him because he was involved in shady loans deals?

OS: You’re using that as a distraction.

MR: What’s it distracting from?

OS: Senator Obama’s message.

MR: And what message is that?

OS: Hope and change.

MR: Senator Obama broke his pledge to finance his campaign with public money, something he promised during the primary. He went back on his word.

OS: Sometimes you have to.

MR:.Why?

OS: To fight against the old politics of the past so he can do what the country needs.

MR: And what’s that?

OS: Bring hope and change.

MR: Hope and change for what?

OS: For what matters.

MR: What matters?

OS: Hope and change
.
MR: Okay, so what would be the single biggest change Senator Obama would accomplish if he were elected?

OS: He’s African American.

MR: That’s not an accomplishment that’s genetics.

OS: You’re being divisive. That would be a big change.

MR: But when the country elects the first black President
shouldn’t it be because he or she is the best candidate
and the fact that they are black be totally besides the
point?

OS: No. It’s about hope and change.

MR: Is it hope for change or hope and change

OS: Either one. It’s up to you. It’s all good.

MR: So it doesn’t matter.

OS: No. And he can unify people and bring them together. Help us over come the divisions that divide us.

MR: Then why is the Democratic Party the most divided in its history with almost half the party against him and
most refusing to vote for him?

OS: Uneducated racist Clinton voters.

MR: What flavor Kool-Aid is that?

OS: Cherry

competitive ...

for competition's sake.

they see the primary as a game, and not as what it is meant to be -- an election. an election where people's votes represent people's voice, needs, hopes and aspirations. why else do we have an election if not to have people's votes count? this isn't a vote collection game. the votes aren't just points, the votes mean something deeper. the franchise is what makes our country great. it is what our democracy is about. when they say FL and MI shouldn't count because republican party leaders committed a mistake with the rules, they are disenfranchising people's voice. when they say that we should end the race now because the 'math' is difficult is denying the rest of the millions of voters a say. their distortion that the math is impossible is subordinating the people's will to their decisions for the nominee. the fact is, neither candidate has the delegates to win the nomination now and until all the delegates are accounted for, no one should claim victory.

obama's campaign and his supporter's operations are greek tragedies waiting to happen. they are completely out of touch when they look all smug and showing off their intellectual superiority about the math of the delegate count. the hubris of it all! the way the party elites thumbing their noses at the other half of the democratic party, (the core base of democrats no less), is tragic.

obama supporters are myopic about winning. they see the world as they want it, and not as it is, nor how other people may see it. this is why even if they win the battle, they will lose the war.
