Barack’s Bounce

I support Obama, strongly!
The bounce is more than a bounce, its a trajectory!
Obama WILL win in November!!!!
Want to know why so many people support Obama,
go to www.therealmccain.com and learn the truth.

NEWSWEEK , it is about time to lay this article to rest (cuz the article itself is a dead issue, but bloggers just blog here cuz it is the easiest one they can grab on the Politics section other than the mid-section. Let it go cuz it no longer applies. Either just shift another great newsworthy article you have in the headlines to live for awhile in our face to replace this article (LIKE the flip flop Obama/McCain article that gets much blogging) or come up with a NEW one. It is so TRANSPARENT that you keeping this ridiculous main article in the viewers face is totally not serving the US Americians correctly when comparing any stats on Obama vs. McCain based on what YOUR SITE posted Way Back When , which at that time, was never, ever way near whatever the other polling sites were posting!!!!!

Don't tell me words don't matter!

I was against Fisa before I was for Fisa!
I was against hand guns before I was for hand guns!
I was for public financing before I was against public financing!
I was against faith based initiatives before I was for faith based initiatives!
I was against nuclear power before I was for nuclear power!
I was for a quick withdraw from Iraq before I was against a quick withdraw from Iraq!
I was an ultra left liberal before I came to embraced true conservative positions!
I was against Nafta before I was for freetrade!
I was against wearing the flag pin until I for the flag pin!
I was for keep jerusalum together until I was for dividing jerusalum!
I was for bombing pakistan before I was against bombing pakistan!

Words to matter! hmmmmmmmmmmm, really.

Some call it pragmatism......if so, that's just another word for "political double talk" or lets just be blunt..."lies"!

New Pro-Hillary website launched today. Sign the pledge to get her name on the ballot!

Here is the new site. Check it out: http://www.together4us.com/

THE PLEDGE OF TOGETHERNESS: SPREAD THE WORD!

We stand together with her 18 million voters in pursuit of all of the following:

Bring us together by honoring Hillary Clinton and her supporters at the Democratic National Convention in Denver by:

Placing her name into nomination (following traditional protocol)

Ensuring a roll-call vote

Inviting her to speak, during prime-time, on August 26th, the 88th anniversary of Women's Suffrage

Bring us together by adoption of policies on the Platform Committee that Hillary Clinton has championed.

Bring us together through reform of the primary and caucus system to reflect the basic principle of one person - one vote.

Bring us together through outspoken denunciation of all gender bias, racism and other forms of discrimination.

Bring us together by making a concerted effort to retire her campaign debt.

We are being asked to embrace Party Unity without the fair representation of Hillary Clinton and her 18 million voters. Party Unity requires bilateral action. We ask Barack Obama and the DNC to respond.

Beware of the Pumas. . . Be Be afraid, be VERY afraid. : - )

175 PATRIOTS CAN SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
BY NOMINATING THE TRUER DEMOCRAT

The fate of the United States ??? and the future of the Democratic Party ??? now rests with a minimum of 175 Democratic delegates who must now exercise their mature political judgment in the service of their country, and turn away from Obama to support Senator Clinton.

As of now, Obama has about 2229.5 delegate votes, with 1766.5 pledged delegates and 463 super delegates.

Clinton has 1896.5 delegate votes, with 1639.5 pledged and 257 super delegates.

Shift just 175 delegates from Obama to Clinton, and Obama???s power grab comes to a halt.

There must be no nomination of Obama on the first ballot. Once Obama has failed to secure the nomination on the first ballot, the party will be able to reflect on who the nominee ought to be, based on the experiences of June, July, and August.

Senator Clinton is pledged to an orderly, sane, and secure pullout. Clinton wants mandatory universal health care and a freeze on foreclosures. She wants to shift the federal gasoline tax away from motorists, truckers, and farmers and towards the Oil Industry.

Obama is on the wrong side of all of these issues.

Hillary Clinton is and has always been on the side of traditional Democratic Party values.

We want a president from the Democratic Party, not from a small group of elite, libertarian Neo-Liberals. Lexington and Concord were started by a few dozen farmers.

Does the Democratic Party still have 175 patriots with the courage to take a stand?

PUMAS URGE YOU TO BRING TO AND END WHAT HAS BEEN A MOST FRAUDULENT CAMPAIGN

We are PUMAs ??? Democrats who reject an automatic proxy vote.

Instead, we are fighting for real Democratic Party values and the future of the party we love and still claim as our own.

We call on the delegates to the Denver convention to search their consciences, their experiences in past elections, and their own common sense.

Our party has had enough of defeat and retreat. We must not allow the DNC to impose on us yet another losing General Election candidate.

Obama???s anemic poll numbers already foreshadow defeat in November, and his continuing sellout on the issues is only making matters worse.

We urge you to reconsider your vote for Obama, and to instead vote for Senator Clinton ??? the strongest candidate, the people???s choice in the popular vote, and the candidate who has and will continue steadfastly to represent the core pillars of the Democratic Party.

Vote to seat Michigan and Florida at full strength as elected in the January primary. Organize your fellow delegates to block Obama.

Vote for Clinton, for victory in November, and for an end to the long nightmare of the Iraq war.

OKAY, maybe I am asking the obvious questiion. But why does Newsweek continue to post such an outdated article .

Did you know that if McCain is elected you will have to pay income tax on the value of the medical insurance that your employer gives you? Worse still, he is offering a tax break for people who pay their own insurance, BUT only $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families.

Let's say you have a family of four. Your insurance policy costs would be at least $1,500-2,500 per month under a self-pay plan, which cost more than employer group plans. So, you pay $18,000 -$30,000 per year for insurance, and you get to deduct only $5,000 of that. If you paid $25,000 for you insurance, you would be out of pocket $20,000 per year. This is FAR WORSE than the current system, where if you are self employed you can deduct 100% of you medical insurance costs.

So, if you're not self employed, you would stick with your Employer's plan. Employer plans for a family of four have a value of $900-$1,500 per month totaling 10,800-$18,000 per year. Surprise! On April 15th, you owe tax on all of that as INCOME to you. Say your bracket is 25%, and the value of your Employer medical plan is $14,000. You will OWE THE IRS an additional $3,500, and that's ON TOP of whatever monthly premium you already pay to your employer for your insurance.

Many analysts say that McCain's new rules would encourage employers to stop offering health benefits. If that happened, then far fewer Americans would be insured than are insured today, because what family of four can afford $18,000-$30,000 out of pocket per year for self-pay health insurance?

Furthermore, McCain's plan does not require insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions of people who self-pay their insurance. People under employer group plans have all of their pre-existing conditions covered. This is a hugely unfair aspect of the current system. Insurance companies can afford to cover the pre-existing conditions of the much larger pool of people with group insurance, but they refuse to pay the pre-existing conditions on the smaller pool of self-pay customers. They have been allowed to price gouge the self-pay customers, which is a form of market manipulation that should be illegal.

So let's say one of your kids had diabetes and you have high blood pressure, then your employer stops offering insurance. You now have to buy your own, but you and your child are INELIGIBLE due to pre-existing conditions. Oh, yeah, they will let you buy the insurance, but you can't use it for any pre-existing condition until you have paid on time every month for two years. And you know what happens at one year and 11 months? You get a letter saying your policy has been cancelled. I have many patients this has happened to.

McCain's plan SUCKS.

It does nothing to help middle class working Americans afford or obtain medical insurance. In fact, it makes the current system WORSE.

Add this question. 9.Would you be willing to send our bravest and best young women and men to die in iraq just to gain the votes of the out of touch, mouth-breathing right wing wack jobs that make up 23% of the Republican party?

UH-OHHHHHH.....Sounds like a GOP implosion......

Conservatives to battle McCain over platform!
Activists don???t want his views on warming, stem cells, other issues adopted!

Washington Post
updated 12:21 a.m. ET, Mon., July. 7, 2008

"Conservative activists are preparing to do battle with allies of Sen. John McCain in advance of September's Republican National Convention, hoping to prevent his views on global warming, immigration, stem cell research and campaign finance from becoming enshrined in the party's official declaration of principles.

McCain has not yet signaled the changes he plans to make in the GOP platform, but many conservatives say they fear wholesale revisions could emerge as candidate McCain seeks to put his stamp on a document that currently reflects the policies and principles of President Bush. "

Not only will he lose, but ol' McC won't have a "political" home after November.

BTW, has anyone seen the Electoral Map? Obama leading 238 to 163.....OUCH!!!!!

Yes Newsweek........continue to keep this Fabricated Bounce on the front page....close your eyes, make a wish everyday and maybe the poll fairy will come and make it come true. What a farce!

NOBOUNCE NOBAMA!

THE WORST THING ABOUT MCCAIN AND THE ECONOMY IS HIS NOW MORBID EMBRACE FOR BUSH'S TAX CUTS. HE SAID IN 2001 AND 2003 THAT-"THEY WERE ONLY FOR THE WEALTHIEST AND AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MIDDL CLASS, THEY WERE FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND THEY WOULD MAKE US VERY VULNERABLE."- HE WAS RIGHT AND THAT'S WHY HE VOTED AGAINST THEM TWICE. NOW HE'S SAYING THEY ARE GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY AND HIS PLAN IS TO MAKE THEM BIGGER? IT'S TRULY DISTURBING BECAUSE HE WAS 100% CORRECT FIRST OFF AND THE ARGUEMENT AGIANST THEM IN 2008 SHOULD ONLY BE STRONGER. IS HE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO BE PRESIDENT-EVEN FINISH OFF OUR ECONOMY?

Remember this very important fact: Michael Dukakis has a double digit lead over Reagan in the summer polls and hen got destroyed in November. The issue of Obama's "close 20 year relationship" with a bigot named Reverand Wright is being discussed at the water cooler by White, Asian and Jewish Americans every day more and more. And the good reverand's "close relationship" with one of America's biggest racists, Louis Farrakhan, who was given a lifetime achievement award. (wow) Birds of a Feather....and most of America is starting to figure it out. Especially Hillary fans and Jewish voters. Remember, this is the same nation that re-elected a very unpopular George Bush only 3 1/2 years ago during an unpopular war. McCain will win this election.
