Small Moments Writ Large

Just a little news from PA.. I just went to vote and the senior citizens are out in droves. They are voting for McCain!!
McCain is going to take Pennsylvania!

Not too likely….
Pennsylvania
Obama 51.6
McCain 44.4

Amen Pam,
From your mouth to God’s ears. I am very excited too.

Go Florida! That’s a hopeful sign.

If McCain lose tonight, those old voters voting for McCain will be done affecting the course of our great country. Because they will be dead on gone before their sad party rebuilds itself. I will breath a huge sigh of relief after Obama wins, knowing that we are not going to go backward toward restricting stem cell research, denying rights to gays and lesbians, giving tax cuts to people that need them least, and a conservative Supreme Court. When they lose tonight, they should realize that their way of looking at the world is obsolete. Goodbye Republican party – the party of the rich manipulating the simpletons. Good bye forever.

ml: “Just a little news from PA.. I just went to vote and the senior citizens are out in droves.”
All the more reason for Senator Obama supporters to endure the lines at their under-staffed polling locations and VOTE!
Although I can’t help but wonder if McCain went so heavily after PA due to it’s horrendously insecure electronic voting systems with no paper trail. Luckily, if enough Obama supporters turn out in FL and OH – which use the much more difficult to tamper with paper scan ballots – stealing PA won’t work.

There’s a sale on Pepto Bismol at your local pharmacy.
Just show your GOP voter registration form and you will get half off.
Compliments of the Democratic Party.

Sarah is panicking.
She wants that hunk Obama has between his legs in the WHITE HOUSE. His white dead grandmother is RACIST

God speed and good luck America … The world prays for a resounding Obama victory so that the wounds of the Bush years can begin to be healed. Your new president Barack Obama will need all the help he can get from everyone to clean up the disaster that Bush brought to America.

curiousindep,
I spent a lot of time comparing voting records and going over each candidates plan, but of course McCain didn’t have one to go over, so that helped speed things up. So glad you think this is all a joke. You must be one of the rich guys, cuz that’s the only ones McCain and his idiot partner are intending to help out. Trickle Down and all that nonsense.
Hope you will still be laughing out loud when Obama win’s tonight.
BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY
Barack Obama’s economic plan will inject $75 billion of stimulus into the economy by getting money in the
form of tax cuts and direct spending directly to the people who need it most. Obama’s proposal will
immediately provide stimulus using means that do not require lengthy governmental or administrative delays.
The plan also reserves an additional $45 billion of stimulus that can be injected into the economy quickly in the
future if the economy continues to deteriorate.
For most Americans, this is a time of great economic anxiety. People are working harder for less and paying
more for everything from health care, to college tuition, to filling up the gas tank. Recent data reveals that the
unemployment rate has experienced its sharpest monthly increase since 2001 the last time the economy fell into
recession. Jobs have been lost in a wide range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, retail and
the financial services. Last month only 18,000 jobs were created – a tiny fraction of the 125,000 jobs the
economy needs to generate each month to keep pace with population growth.
Limited job growth has been coupled with inflation that is outpacing increases in average wages, meaning that
even those who keep their jobs have less buying power. Consumer confidence levels are the lowest they have
been since Hurricane Katrina and consumers are starting to cut back on spending as evidenced by lower-thanexpected
holiday sales with automobile purchases falling to their lowest level in a decade.
Strengthening our economy will be Barack Obama’s priority from day one as president. Months ago he outlined
a comprehensive package of economic reforms to help ease the burdens on middle-class and working families
while making progress on achieving long-run budget balance. But with the economy getting worse by the
month, Americans cannot afford to wait until the next president takes office to take action. Obama believes the
government should take steps to restore the confidence of consumers and businesses that we will not let things
get worse and encourage them not to cut back further on their spending and investment.
Experts agree that an effective stimulus package must provide immediate, temporary, direct economic relief
targeted to the people who need it and are most likely to use the funds and increase the level of economic
activity in their communities without permanently increasing the budget deficit. The goal should be to lessen
the pain that would occur from an economy-wide slowdown, not to use Americans’ economic hardship as a
rationale for enacting an ideologically driven policy agenda.
Barack Obama’s Plan to Stimulate the Economy and Protect American Families

WOW Sarah…How long did it take you to come up with that dribble, let me guess you got it off a Obama web site…I guess everyone needs something to believe in. Me? I prefer Santa Claus..my chances are better…BTW I am not a guy, I am a gal, just like a lib to assume anyone with some degree of intelligence is male. I am also an INDEPENDENT who voted Keyes…This is what I’ve gathered from Obama…Wants to get out of Iraq…but increase troop presence in Afgan, no savings there…Will give tuition assistance to those who volunteer to WORK for some type of community service…hmmm sounds like Repub to me as in taking personal responsibility in earning you own way, will give, yeah right, a tax cut to WORKING middle-class Americans again sounds like a Republican policy rewarding those who work…Increase FICA tax cap….Increase cap dividend tax, there goes pension funds, Increase business investment taxes, there go j-o-b-s..take away farming subsidies…on and on and on…
I have discovered that libs cannot express a comment without injecting moron or idiot; and of course, you have proven me correct…

Independent analysts confirm that Obama’s spending cuts will likely not be sufficient to offset increased spending.
But McCain’s proposals push the budget even deeper into deficit than Obama’s.
So for budget hawks, the choice should be obvious.

AN Alan Keyes vote would have affirmed much better..that is for people who keep bringing up the racial components of this race rather than the policy ones…which should NOT play in part in any election….I have come to the conclusion that libs are just as racist as others as they are the ones who keep reminding people to vote for “History” rather than issues…What is so historic about voting democrat….hmmmmmm

My Dear Sarah,
I have a Son who goes to Iraq every 7 month, serves in the USMARINE corps, did you ever ask yourself why we are in other countries to promote equal right and freedom, religion etc. etc. ???? May husband served in Vietnam, had many friends die there, the servicemen came back from there in the middle of the night, like they did something wrong, and till this day they are treated like outcasts. Would you want our GI’s to come back from Iraq and usher them in in the middle of the night, defeated because we don’t support them. Forgot KLM over Scottland or 9/11 so soon. What if no one stands up for YOUR rights.
But you have the freedom to say anything you want, hope you keep that right.

New Jersey turnout is HUGE. Go Obama!
Read great post about Race, American & Obama:

Maybe it’s because I’m of Generation X – but when I see Obama getting off the plane and into his car, I didn’t see someone who looked black.
I saw someone who looked like a President.
I saw someone who was raised by a single mom, or his grandparents, sometimes with food stamps, trying to make something better of himself even with all the strikes against him. Switch gender and skin color – and that guy is *me*.
That’s why I voted for him. I get him. The kids that are coming after me get him. I felt like I was voting for all the kids at the polling place today, not just me.
Hopefully it will be as the polls say, and Obama will win. We need this guy.

I don’t agree with Obama’s politics in a lot of different ways.
However, I am struck as well by the symbolic achievement his presidency would mean.
It would be a big step for Americans of all ethnicities. It opens the door just that much wider for everyone.

President Obama! I believe……
