You should be ashamed of yourself. Real smart of you. Someone carves a B on their face and you jump on the bandwagon, wow, intelligent, oh that's right to be intelligent you have to be an elitist. That is something you will never be called. Nothing is worse than voting one ticket just cause mammy and pappy did it. Why not try this? Thinking for a change,oh, that's right you don't think, I forgot you are not an elitist. Anything to point a finger, Are we desperate yet? Next time you choose to write something so ignorant do me a favor think!

I think Bush had better get the Department of Justice to look into the possible voter fraud case.

And for the Dora Fitzgerald family my post is in jest. I know you wouldn't mind and Dora is a hero. May she rest in peace.

North Charleston, S.C. - For a 93-year old North Charleston woman, casting her vote was a matter of life and death.

Very little was missing in Dora Fitzgerald's 93 years of life, she had a marriage of 65 years and family that spreads generations, but politics was never a passion until the final year of her life.

“She was very moved for Barack Obama (web|news|bio) ’s passion for fixing things, and his articulate way of delivering his message and she just decided she was going to vote for him,” said her daughter, M. Fitzgerald.

But as her health declined M Fitzgerald took care of her mother, watching her slowly slip away.

“It was beautiful, it was sad, tragic, you prepare for it, you know it's coming, and still when it happens, you’re completely crushed,” said M. Fitzgerald.

But Mrs. Fitzgerald didn’t leave quietly, there was unfinished business.

"She said I don’t know if I’m going to live that long, but I plan on sticking around to vote for him,” said M. Fitzgerald.

Fearful that November was too long to wait, her daughter sent for an absentee ballot. It arrived last week.

“She made her mark, and we put it in the envelope, my brother and I walked to the mailbox, it was 11 o’clock Wednesday morning and I said ‘Mom its in the mail, you’ve done your thing, Barack’s going to win,’ and she kind of smiled and it was kind of a deep sigh, a sigh of relief, and in less than an hour later, she died,” said M. Fitzgerald.

She traveled the world, raised a family, lived a full life, and on her death bed exercised her right to vote.

“The only thing left on her list was to make sure she got her voice heard, and she did,” said M. Fitzgerald.

Mrs. Fitzgerald was born in 1915 and according to her family, she voted in 19 presidential elections.

She is survived by her nine children; William of Garmisch, Germany; Michael of New Sweden, ME; Joseph of Seattle, WA; Kathleen of Murrieta, CA; Shelagh of Caribou, ME; Timothy of Portland, ME; Terence (Terry) of Foxborough, MA; Patrick of Charleston, SC; and Mary T. of North Charleston, SC. She’s also survived by 18 grandchildren and more than a dozen great-grand kids.

"I'm the Chief Financial Officer for Barack Obama's campaign. I track the donations coming in and the expenses going out.

I asked for the opportunity to write to you directly so that I could try to explain what's happening right now.

This organization has thousands of employees and spends millions of dollars a day -- and at the moment we're doing it without a safety net.

Our spending plans have been stretched by John McCain's negative attacks and the overwhelming resources of the Republican National Committee.

As of October 15th, John McCain and the RNC together had nearly $20 million more in cash than the combined total of Obama for America and the DNC. And just this week, we're facing new and unexpected spending against us in Montana and West Virginia.

Your incredible generosity has gotten us this far. But right now we need your help more than ever to get this campaign across the finish line.

Please donate $25 or whatever you can afford right now:

My team and I are working to stretch every dollar in order to keep as many paths to victory open as possible. But we need whatever help you can provide for this crucial final stretch.

Thank you,

MM

Marianne Markowitz
Chief Financial Officer
Obama for America"

OK, Didn't they brag about the millions they have raised. At this point, I think a valid question is "What the heck are they doing with all that money if they are beginning for more?"

This is the third email I received from them today, all with several links to donate more money.

[jharp]

Thank you for posting, mary.

I'm going to send them a check.

Remember we don't want to just win. We want to knock the GOP out of relevance for the next 20 years. I think we have a good chance.

The White House race is over. It's on to 60 seats in the Senate.

The 2 or 3 Supreme Court nominees will come in due time.

[mary]

jharp. I thought you were an insider? You aren't getting the amount of emails I'm getting?

So you are not the insider you pretend to be?

[BobinStamford]

Ok, Grandpa is looking so bad that I'm starting to feel sorry for him.

It's always fun to see Cindy's creepy smile in the background though.

[jharp]

I'm not an insider whatever that means.

Nor have I ever meant to present myself as an insider.

And what do you refer to by saying "You aren't getting the amount of emails I'm getting?". I guess the answer is I don't know. Just my regular amount of e mails. Is there something I don't know?

[jharp]

For mark l,

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (LOUISIANA)

MCCAIN: 43%
OBAMA: 40%
UNDECIDED/WON'T SAY: 17%
MARGIN OF ERROR: +/- 4.5%

The poll shows 93 percent of African American voters in Louisiana have a favorable opinion of Obama. "93 percent is almost total. It's unbelievable," Renwick said. "It's one of the highest percentages I've ever seen."

Yep,that's what the kerry campaign said a few years back.
Nothing is over till it's over. Remember the exit polls when Kerry ran against Bush? But, hey good luck to you and yours.

Harpo says,

"Is there something I don't know?"

Nope! You clearly have a grasp of all things moonbat.

I'm sure that if you had ever donated to Xerxes you would have gotten your very own "pay for my 3 million dollar party" e-mail request.

You independantly wealthy, part time working, world traveler types are all on his list.

Speaking of lists I felt a little early Christmas spirit so sing along,

"He's making a list he's checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice, Santa Xerxes' coming to town!

He knows if you are working, he knows how much to take,

He wants to be the "god king", so send in all you make,

sooo.... you better like Ayers, you better hate jews, you better not print no negative news,

Santa Xerxes' coming to town!"

Oh that's right this "Christian" doesn't celebrate the birth of christ!

http://goodtimepolitics.com/2008/08/21/if-obama-is-a-christian-why-doesnt-he-celebrate-christmas/

He has a little problem giving gifts for birthdays or christmas.

You know its hard to change that old Muslim, I mean, Christian upbringing.

Your boy is one big phony piece of shit and right now he's hoping and praying that "screw the jews" tape doesn't pop up in the next couple of days!

[WBestPresidentEver]

from sactown man "Your boy is one big phony piece of shit and right now he's hoping and praying that "screw the jews" tape doesn't pop up in the next couple of days!"

from my link above his post: "Have any of them sat down and thought how silly they look- by my count, there are any number of videotapes out there that are supposed to end it all. The Michelle whitey tape, the tape of Obama’s mistress, the tape of Obama screaming about how much he hates Israel, the tape of Michelle ranting at API, and on and on and on."

You guys are embarrassing. I feel sorry for ya.

[SacTownMan]

Hey LOL did you at least try and sing along to the song a little?

Don't forget the "spread the wealth" tape we did get to see! And there is always this to go to sleep on,

To the right...how convenient.

[Fred Beloit]

I know this is off topic, but I feel the need to reach the hand of friendship across the sea. Hope you don't mind Dan.

"Dear Mr. Laksevaag,
Thank you so much for the evaluation of the tuitional systems of state-owned American universities and colleges and of the financial state of American citizens, whom you described as "poor, poor people", and rightly so, rightly so, according to none other than Barack Obama. As I'm sure you are aware, students from other countries strictly avoid American universities because of their inferior quality when obvious alternatives, such as the universities of Norway, have so much more to offer for the price.

But one can observe that, under the obvious superiority of Norway to other countries struggling to survive in such hostile climes as North America, there still may be some minor trends to be mildly concerned about. For example, from Wiki:

"The number of Muslims in Norway was first registered in official statistics in 1980, when it was given as 1006. These statistics are based on membership in a registered congregation, and it is most likely that the low number is due to the fact that few Muslims were members of a mosque. Historian of religion Kari Vogt estimates that 10% of Norwegian Muslims were members of a mosque in 1980, a proportion which had increased to 70% by 1998. Being a member of a mosque was an alien concept to many immigrants from Muslim countries. In Norway, it is necessary for the mosques to register their members, because government grants to religious congregations outside the state church are based on the number of registered members. The number of registered members of mosques increased to 80,838 in 2004, but have since dropped to 72,023 in 2006. Part of the reason for the drop could be a new methodology in the compilation of statistics.[4]

In the end of the 1990s, Islam passed the Roman Catholic Church and Pentecostalism to become the largest minority religion in Norway, provided Islam is seen as one united grouping. In 2004, the registered Muslims were members of 92 different congregations. 40 of these were based in Oslo or Akershus counties."

Hoping earnestly that everything will work out fine for Norway, somehow, yours,
Fred

Dear Mr. Laksevaag, you write:
"But you pay a lot more to management of hospitals,..."

By gad, sir, you're onto something there. Obama's wife makes about $400,000 per year as Director of Community Outreach for the University of Chicago hospitals, and still finds time to gad about the country campaigning for her hubby. Outrageous. Much more outrageous with respect to duties and responsibilities than the bucks made on Wall Street.

With fond recollections of discussions past, yours,
Fred

Hey Sac,

I'm not independently wealthy nor have I ever claimed to be. I did have enough sack 25 years ago to go into business for myself and thus I work when I choose. I yeah, I have traveled over a lot of the world.

You have a nice day at your data entry job. I'm going golfing. It's almost 70 degrees and beautiful out today. Fall colors, have the course to ourselves, a few brewskis. Good times.

[SacTownMan]

"a few brewskis"

Cutting back these days Harpo?
