OK so enough.... it's off the table like it or not.<BR/><BR/>Here's what I'm scared of..<BR/><BR/>She's pro life.....which is fine for her.....I respect that. But unfortunately we have a lot of voting pro lifers that think abortion is the most important issue to vote on. In fact, they are so pro life....that they didn't mind seeing three thousand plus people die on 9-11 and killing many more thousands because they are so FREAKIN pro life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13728001.post-36259340611027701882008-08-29T20:40:00.000-04:002008-08-29T20:40:00.000-04:00Nicole,Should we not explore mounting a challenge ...Nicole,<BR/><BR/>Should we not explore mounting a challenge to Clear Channel's license to the 940 channel? You have a lot of friends among the Progressive Community in South Florida. Maybe it is time to start taking their licenses away!<BR/><BR/>BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13728001.post-31326166560259066852008-08-29T17:51:00.000-04:002008-08-29T17:51:00.000-04:00CNN analyst David Gergen, who knows his way around...CNN analyst David Gergen, who knows his way around politics-- having worked for four presidents--Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton--summed up Barack's speech very well by saying that it was more like a symphony than a political speech. <BR/><BR/>Obama had several important tasks to accomplish with that speech and he got it all done--inspired the base, outlined some specifics (without making it sound like a laundry list), and reached out to the white working class. <BR/><BR/>Oh and by the way, Earth to John McCain: What exactly is it about Sarah Palin, a former fisherman,and political novice,and now embroiled in a scandal over possible unethical use of the State Police in Alaska, that makes her qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? It's a poor choice and an overtly cynical ploy to win disaffected Hillary supporters--nice try, but don't think it will work, John.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
