Comments for election 2008 from the eyes of an ebony mom http://ebonymompolitics.wordpress.com political perspectives from Joni Hudson-Reynolds, an African-American Mom Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:52:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 Comment on The Obama Team Have Got to Stop Reacting, and Start Acting by Pinkie http://ebonymompolitics.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/the-obama-team-have-got-to-stop-reacting-and-start-acting/#comment-1084 Pinkie Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:53:45 +0000 http://ebonymompolitics.wordpress.com/?p=666#comment-1084 Ebony Mom, your blogs are written in very respectful terms and I do appreciate that. This year I will vote "country before party" because of the serious lack of qualifications and experience of the candidate that the democratic party has "selected", while you will support whoever you will. Some people just refuse to look for facts on their own, many just don't want to hear the facts, others just let the media feed them lies. Still others, like us, get out here and try to find out on our own what is going on. I congratulate you on your "award".

It's interesting that the Republicans always seem to do do this in August -- Kerry, Dukakis, Clinton, etc, ad nauseam. I posted on this today as well. It's time for Obama to hit back.

I posted on this today as well. It’s time for Obama to hit back.

He didn't support him with money and time --FOR 20 YEARS-- then whine "But,I didn't KNOW he was teaching/saying that!" Having a person as an aquaintance and sitting in church for 20 years listening to hate speech--- is a vast difference. And exposing your kids to that is totally wrong. Come on, admit it, you KNOW its true. Black , white, purple, green, --doesn't matter,--- hate is hate and obama learned it well. Negativity breeds negativity.

He has been a lobbiest for the military indusrial complex and big oil who have gotten rich bec ause of the Iraq war. Scheunemann has beeen on the payroll of the Republic of Georgia at the same time he has been a McCain advisor. McCain is a loose cannon. There are 2 sides to the Russia-Georgia conflict. He understands the issues incompletely and superficially and no better than he did his studies at USNA. He is GW Bush on steroids. Pinkie,

McCain’s top advisor Randall Scheuneman, was instrumental in getting us into the Iraq war. He has been a lobbiest for the military indusrial complex and big oil who have gotten rich bec ause of the Iraq war.

Scheunemann has beeen on the payroll of the Republic of Georgia at the same time he has been a McCain advisor.

McCain is a loose cannon. There are 2 sides to the Russia-Georgia conflict.

He understands the issues incompletely and superficially and no better than he did his studies at USNA.

I have 3 sons and I strongly discouraged them all from joining the service of ANY kind. Even though McCain does have 2 sons in service, I am not one to support wars or conflict. A draft, as you noted, usually pulls the lower income on a bigger scale than the higher incomes. However, the USA cannot be seen as a weakling... so we must find something to strenghten our might yet preserve our rights. Hard choices must be made by a fearless and confident leader. Our choices suck, but I must go with McCain on this one. Something we totally agree on. I have 3 sons and I strongly discouraged them all from joining the service of ANY kind.

I would hardly chalk those situations up to his judgment." You are absolutely right. However, all the hate spewing from the mouths of these two people causes me to "PERCIEVE" them as racist and/or bigots. You are known by the company you keep.......Just go ask Mama. to quote E.J. –”Wright & Farrakhan “issues” were only big deals because of the way white people perceived and read into Obama’s association with them.
