213. Don't think kicking people out is a good
way to behave or to get votes. Also don't think you get to say. Not your forum. You can always start one if you like.

But I'm with you on getting Obama elected. I hope you will join those of us who really want him elected. First we can all agree that he really crapped out on the FISA vote. We need to tell him to stop doing that kind of thing. If he's going to be elected, it will be because he is different than the guys that everybody dislikes. I know some nutjobs have been telling him how to win an election in 1964, but this is 2008. The country doesn't want more of the same. The country doesn't want back room sweetheart deals for powerful politicians and rich corporations. They want Obama 1.0, the original. That is who got people fired up and showing up. We will never get idjit republicans to vote for Obama. They will hold their noses and vote for mccain and if they want to protest they will vote for Barr.

He needs to talk economy and ending war, not guns and terrists. Let's have healthcare. Let's have open government. Let's have jobs back in America. Those are the vote getters. He's gotten lost and, if we truly want him to win, we need to tell him how to find his way back.

Now I think there are a lot of trolls here who would love him to keep on playing right into the rnc's hands with this timidity and hedging. They like giving all that ammunition to mccain. We have to resist those who would tear Obama down by telling him to go right. It won't get him elected. It will cost him votes and support of the undecided. We Democrats will vote for him of course, but any dimwit who is undecided between Obama and mccain is so stupid that they will buy the media spin and terrist talk that will go on in the fall.

So let's rally our energy to get him elected. Send the strongest message you can to let him know his is heading the wrong way.
