AZ Robocall Hits Obama On Social Security
Per NJ Contributing Editor Linda Douglass, this call is reportedly going out to Arizona voters:
WOMAN: This is Ann calling on behalf of Hillary Clinton for President. Hillary Clinton has been a tireless fighter for seniors [unintelligible]. Barack Obama has said when it comes to Social Security all options should be put on the table. That includes raising the retirement age and cutting benefits. He has even proposed raising Social Security taxes by a trillion dollars. Hillary Clinton stood up to Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security and is against raising the retirement age. When you go to the polls tomorrow cast your vote for the Democrat committed to protecting Social Security as we know it: Hillary Clinton.

Yes We Can Vote Democracy over Dynasty
I'm going to keep this simple and straight to the point.
If Hillary Clinton is ANYWHERE on the ticket, I will change my registration
to Independent and vote Republican for the first time in my life.
I know what some people are thinking as they read this blog..."We don't want
another Republican in the White House"..."The Republicans are far worse than
Hillary Clinton"..."Vote for the lesser of 2 evils"
I know that this thinking may sound plausible...because we have been trained
by the pundits to think this way. When we have come to the point when we are
led to choose between "the lesser of two evils" we have to come to terms of
reality that our democracy is slipping away from the true values of the
American people. If you believe this cynical view, then you're voting out of
fear instead of conviction.
We see right now that the balance of power has shifted towards the Executive
Branch when the son, George Bush 2, of a President, George Bush 1, is in the
White House.
We can't even begin to imagine how the balance of power will continue to
shift to the Executive Branch if we have 2 presidents, Bill Clinton and
Hillary Clinton, in the White House at the same time for the first time in
our history.
It strikes me in awe that people are so blind by their self-interest of
winning and in fact state their reason for voting for Hillary Clinton simply
because of having a president, Bill Clinton that already served the full 2
terms, back in the White House which would otherwise be unconstitutional.
But at the same time these same people are wide awake and realize that a 2nd
term of the Bush family was the worse thing that happened in the history of
our Democracy.
Let me be very clear with my view on this.
My vote will not be against Hillary Clinton.
My vote will not be against the Democratic Party.
My vote will not be for the Republican Party.
My vote is bigger than Barack Obama.
My vote is for Democracy over Dynasty.
Too many times we have seen our "loyal" vote taken for granted by the
Democratic Party, as well as, the Republican Party. So I say here today...
My vote is not going to be a Democratic vote.
My vote is not going to be a Republican vote.
My vote will be an American vote for justice, peace and prosperity of
Democracy.
America, we have the chance to lead the world in setting aside the
Ideological, Partisan, and the Dynastical mind set that is so deeply rooted
in Politics perpetuated by the Main Stream Media. The leaders around the
world will begin to see that YES WE CAN win by uniting people across gender,
religion and race.
Because I stand for Democracy over Dynasty...because I'm an American before
I'm a Democrat...I will be force to change my registration to an Independent
to send a clear message to the Democratic Party that my vote will never
again be taken for granted.
I ask all that agree with this blog to unite on this message of Democracy
over Dynasty. Let's unite in one voice and send this message to every blog
around the world...Every article that is written...Every Radio
Station...Every TV Station.
YES WE CAN VOTE DEMOCRACY OVER DYNASTY.
If we do this America, Barack Obama will shock the world with the Audacity
of Hope.

I made a sensible choice this morning, I voted for Hillary Clinton. In the general election, I will do the same. End of conversation.

Sounds like anecdotal bullshit to me.

We still don't know what Obama will do in office. The media has demonized and disrespected Hillary while walking on egg shells concerning Obama. We are supporting Hillary.

To the Hillary supporter, Milo guess what??? I got up @ 5:00 and was at the voting door @ 6:00 to vote for Obama. So, we are even!! LMAO

For once, it's a no-brainer. The more progressive candidate is also the more inspiring, the more principled, and the more electable.
Vote Barack Obama.

Gosh, a deceptive last-minute sliming from the Clinton campaign?
Who'd a thunk it?

Once again, Clinton chooses strong and wrong, never noticing that strong and right was an option.
Campaign like Rove, vote with George.

Hillary and her campaign are doing everything they can even if it's totally dishonest. I hope that those voters that see this false action will check out Barack Obama's website: www.barackobama.com/issues
Please educate yourself before you vote. In this day of Republican Karl Rove slash-and-burn politics, the Clinton's are experts.
I'm female, 62 and in the demographic that is supposed to vote for Hillary to see a woman in the whitehouse in my lifetime. I sure would like to see that -- but, I've lost all respect for Hillary by the way she is running her campaign -- anything goes as long as you win. Not a good example for women everywhere.
My vote means a lot to me and I'm going to make it count. Vote Obama.

Same sh*t on a different day with these Clintons, it didn't work in Iowa or Nevada and it won't work this time.
Obama Team Link a FACT CHECK! Stop the lies. Hit the media again with it. The only way to stop the lies is to bring light on them.
Barack On for the Truth in DC, regardless of HILBOTS DISTORTIONS.
Barack On for a President We the People can Believe in.

Poor Obamatards.
You don't think Obama's campaign sends out mailers and does phone calls?
You think Obama spends all his time off the stump healing sick kittens?
Grow up people. Open yours eyes. Obama isn't the 48 year old virgin. Heck, when you look at the whole campaign he has been on the attack waaay more than Clinton.
At the end of the day, when all the fancy speeeches are put away Obama is a rough and tumble Chicago pol. Just ask his friend, the 'Fixer', TonyRezko.
Me, I will go with the complete package ... brains, skill, sense, toughness, experience, I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton.

Dickie Flatts,

I'm so sick and tired of the Hillary fans claiming that she's been beaten up by the media and Sen. Obama's been treated like a golden child. WHERE WERE YOU LAST TWO YEARS?? She's been the media favorite for the Democrat nomination since she got in the Senate, and she'd definitely had her fair share of free, good press as a result. Whatever bad press she's gotten in the past few months (or during her tenure as First Lady) she and her idiot husband have asked for -- just by being themselves.

Why the media has been so soft on Barack Obama and the dealings of Mr. Tony Rezko, they had to cover-up him to be in no position of answering to him, if you wanna play the race card, Ms. Michelle Obama played the race card long ago with Brian Williams interview and she is getting no flak, about her finally I am proud of my country! quote, so I believe the media cannot attack a black man running for office. People need to know change is gonna happen regardless, during the Clinton times everything was plentiful, jobs healthcare, all the domestic agendas were into play, why they won't attack Obama, maybe they don't want Al Sharpton to cry foul or Jesse Jackson chasing and badgering them, But that's how the game goes.
