I am sorry... I was wrong... I Just want to WIN!
Edited on Thu Feb-28-08 09:55 PM by The Anti-Bush
Okay, I have to offer an apology. Strike that, I want to offer an apology.

I made a mistake in my thread earlier. I misread something, and thought that once it was down to just Obama that he would have to stop fund-raising if he was going to use public finance for the general election.

I came up with a strategy that I thought would allow him to continue to fundraise and still use public finance in the fall. (in an attempt to shut McCain up.)

I was wrong on that, and being wrong on that threw my whole idea out of whack.

However, I would like to say that the post was made with nothing but good intentions in mind. I stated so in it very clearly, so I thought. And still I got attacked all over the place.

Fine, I made a mistake, but making a mistake does NOT make me a liar. There was no intent to deceive or mislead anyone. There is a difference. We are all human beings capable of making mistakes.

And also, I wasn't throwing anyone under the bus, and I wasn't using anyone as a doormat. If that is how some choose to see it, then I can't do anything about it. Everything we type on here is open for interpretation I suppose. I just ask that when you read something I type, please don't assume I'm trying to attack someone. I know that goes on a lot here, but not EVERYONE is out to start shit.

When it comes down to it, I just want us to win this time. Is that so wrong? And after what we have had to deal with for the last 7 years, I don't care if we have to get a LITTLE dirt on our hands this time to make sure we don't get screwed over again. Do you REALLY want another Bush in the White House?

To those who thought I was deliberately trying to piss them off, I am sorry. That was not my intent, and I am sorry if it came across that way. I guess in the future I will read my threads over a couple extra times to make sure it doesn't come across that way again.

3. Good
Unfortunately, there are way too many who do not just want to win... they only want their candidate to win, or it's McCain.

4. We forgive you
We all make mistakes here and regret them later.

It's okay. Thanks for explaining. It's all better now.

P.S. Welcome to DU!
