mmmmmmmmm.....

Well, I've never burned a bra, but I haven't worn one since I graduated (my Catholic) high school in 1979. Is that what you're referring to?

B-cup, enough to fill a champagne glass, I'm happy. Bras do suck if your shoulders or neck are sensitive, and mine are. Wonderfully. I've always considered myself lucky that I can get away with it.

DM is quite right. I've had it with pinheads on both sides that get upset about voting for the Dem nominee.

As former Edwards supporter, I'm afraid the "leftovers" aren't quite "left" enough for me. However, I truly feel that if I can hold my nose and cast my vote for the good of the country, then everyone can.

I said before that those that "can't" are the bozos that cut in front of you in line and pretend not to notice, or drive in the left-hand lane at 53 MPH and cause traffic jams. IOW, people who have an inflated (unjustified, mind you) sense of their ownselves as being "better" than the rest of us.

They suck.

Anymore questions?

:)

Wow - ALL Obama supporters are people you wouldn't want to spend time with? Isn't that a little sweeping?

For example, I totally know I wouldn't want to spend time with someone who makes such a sweeping and mean-spirited generalization about fellow Democrats. But it wouldn't be fair to assume all Hillary's supporters are like you.

Oregon Activist - I'm sorry to hear you're having such a negative experience from some Obama supporters. Like others on this list, I've seen many positive, inclusive people on Obama's side, as surely as I've run into a lot of very negative Clinton supporters, but that doesn't mean our experiences are similar, or need to be.

FWIW, the day when I bonded with several Clinton supporters who have helped me keep balance in my opinions? That was the day of the Texas Senatorial District Conventions, when Hillary supporters had challenged 87 of the less than 200 precincts in our district, then made the motion that instead of taking the hours it would take to resolve said challenges, we simply split the delegates from those challenged precincts down the middle, 50% for Clinton and 50% for Obama. Luckily, that motion didn't pass, and ALL candidates got the delegates they should have.

Luckily, I was able to recognize that a MINORITY of Clinton supporters had pulled those shenanigans. I hope you're able to take note of the positive Obama supporters as well.

I've always thought it odd that Obama thinks it's a positive thing that more Americans believe in angels than believe in evolution. A Face In The Crowd just came to mind. Obama's speech on religion in America is a handbook for his campaign. Almost like someone heard it or read it and said. Hey. We can run for President on these memes.

Dear Oregon Activist,

I can't speak for the various blog threads that have appeared on this site, as I'm pretty new to the blogging "community." In fact, I'm basically a neophyte when it comes to political organizing in general. What I do know is that my experiences thus far volunteering for Obama have been thoroughly rewarding, not least because of the thoughtful, enthusiastic, and even impassioned people I was able to meet, who have spanned just about every relevant identity category (class, gender, race, sexuality, age, and even to some extent political party, etc.).

Most of my volunteer work has been in NYC (where I currently live), but I'm from Oregon and the reports I've heard from Ashland largely mirror my own experiences. So please don't draw too many sweeping conclusions based upon those blogging folk who are a bit too rabid and, quite frankly, probably need to get outside a little more.

1) I don't read every post, so I may have missed the language quoted. I do not support those terms.

2) The question on taxes was who paid Bill for what. There would be concern that possible favors were owed.

3) The ER question came on the heels of the Bosnia delusion. The real question of why a woman who had health insurance developed hypertension during her pregnancy and was not followed up adequately by an obstetrician still remains unanswered.

4) Obama built a better organization despite "inexperience". He went from being too cerebral to too charismatic in the minds of hardcore Clinton suporters. Obama supporters view positons on the issues just like Clinton supporters. Hillary voted for the War.

5) If you want to see misogyny and abuse, wait until you see what getsunleashed on Michelle Obama. Hillary got David Shuster suspended for the "pimp" comment. O'Rielly is still employed despite a lych mob comment about Ms Obama.

6) Obama served those poor folks you care so much about when he left law school. One of the major frustrations s that some woring class people don't have the full facts abot Hillary and her support of NAFTA and outsourcing.

Have to agree with you about the TPM posters. Don't look for anything you write again to be recommended.

Like it is!

I don't know what Josh did to get saddled with y'all.

Don't even get me started on Josh Marshall.

wow, I thought I was the only one here who felt that way. I 100% agree with you. I also shy away from Obama in part because the supporters I've come in contact with aren't people I want to hang with.
