Price quote better: "I was ready to work and vote for [Clinton]. A better and more exciting candidate came along. It is my right to switch. Just as it is yours to get mad and vote for McCain. I just hope you understand that unless you are pro-life, anti gay-marriage, pro war, anti health care, and among the top 1% in the country as far as wealth, you would be voting against your self and against HRC’s ideals. I cant THINK of more of an insult. I like this A. Price quote better:

It's not the heart on your sleeve, but the bloody battle-axe in your hand...if I can be said to scold anything. Passion takes many forms and so do differences of opinion. Don't take it too personally...unless it becomes personal. I respect and admire the passion of this crowd. In no way do I doubt even for a second that all your feelings are genuine. But we are not here to debate your feelings, or anyone else's for that matter. Are we? Nonetheless, hazah to good will and optimism all around. We’re not bound to agree on everything, J.

All you need is Flora an Fauna flitting about and Prince Charming to ride in and kiss you while you sleep. Sing it with me, kids: I know you (Barack), I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you (Barack), the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam. And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem. But if I know you (Barack), I know what you'll do00. You'll walk with me once, the way you did once...upon a dream. All atwitter for Obama. xoxoxox! Please, guys. If you're going to post love letter drivel that actually contains the word 'glee' to describe a POLITICIAN, mockery will ensue. I think it's blog law. Gag.

As much as I like Obama, his foreign policy team needs to strike a non-interventionist chord in the middle east. We should not be interfereing in the internal affairs of other nations. Israel's ability to defend itself is actually better in many respects than ours; I have listened to many commentators from the middle and left in Israeli politics and they do not agree with the Likud party or the positions of AIPAC. In fact some have even suggested that our policy in the middle east is being manipulated by the Likud party.... That kind of thing needs to be addressed and to do it we need a class act foreign policy team....a team that can clearly artculate our short and long term interests. Jason,

I think the energy I referenced is linked to how many people have actually gotten off their butts and done something. Speaking for myself, I have worked at the campaign office, canvassed neighborhoods, and phone banked. I am involved. That's the real difference. But I think this is about more than Obama.

He's a great orator, has a whiz-bang campaign staff, and seems to be a good man. But on the issues--especially foreign policy--he is far less inspiring, witness his recent comments on Iran and Jerusalem. delawarelibertarian.blogspot.com/2008/06/obama-may-be-jfk-reincarnate-but-hes.html Jason

I think our heroes today are even larger than life than they were during Camelot. Not only are our current role models more perfect, they've been through a background check that would have made J. Edgar blush. Obama is the Lama!!! Yeah, and back then, movie stars had bad teeth. I think our heroes today are even larger than life than they were during Camelot.

I never understood when my parents would talk about the energy surrounding JFK. God, they'd wax lyrical, and then shake their heads and say, "You had to live it." I'm living it. I completely agree.
