Though Romney's Achille's heel, that his fabulous record as a big bidnessman relied on the savaging and piecemeal destruction of companies and their workforces, presents a larger target than Kerry's medals, hopefully.trog69https://www.blogger.com/profile/00448911131570383708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074844.post-16302230459378397862008-01-27T11:51:00.000-05:002008-01-27T11:51:00.000-05:00The silver medal stuff from Romney is weird, but e...The silver medal stuff from Romney is weird, but everything that guy says is weird.<BR/><BR/>Nice enough guy, but just weird.<BR/><BR/>I refer to him as Their John Kerry.Jon a.k.a.

Congratulating the winner is concession. Obama, as typical of the high-minded fellow he is, rose above the primary minutia and spoke about his dream of a different, united America. A dream that he was giving us permission to contemplate. <BR/><BR/>It had nothing to do with the primary, or the race, the media, the expectations, the crying, or the like. It was an inner winner view, shared with his audience as if he wasn't hiding behind a loss, but simply didn't see the loss.<BR/><BR/>It's not lying, misleading, or soft-pedaling loss if you truly don't believe it was a loss.Jon a.k.a.

JE has been marginalized from before the campaigning even started. You will read nothing about his policies unless you go to his site. <BR/><BR/>As to the "winner's concession speech", what makes you think Obama's was any different from any of the other 'first losers' speechs? Romney's little verbal dance after, I think, Iowa, had him proclaiming that 2nd place was awesome since they didn't even plan on doing <I>that</I> well.trog69https://www.blogger.com/profile/00448911131570383708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074844.post-91140407790324068412008-01-15T17:04:00.000-05:002008-01-15T17:04:00.000-05:00Good stuff.

Actually, I said "most of us" don't face the issues as directly as we would need to in order to make Edwards a true front-runner.<BR/><BR/>Michigan and many other states are leading indicators of the burgeoning problem, but with only 5% unemployment nationally, it's just not the crisis it needs to be to catapult Edwards' message to the forefront of issues.<BR/><BR/>The Media more reflects voter's values than projects them (although they do do a little of both), so don't be so quick to blame corporate America for holding John down. I do blame our representatives for allowing corporate fascism to tilt the balance of power in Washington... but like I said in my post above, most Americans get "just enough" not to turn this into a revolution. It's the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog" REL="nofollow">boiling frog syndrome</A>. <BR/><BR/><BR/>When it's time for a revolution, a revolution will come. Right now, people want change, which is "revolution lite."Jon a.k.a.

You need to come live in Michigan for a while and see how difficult it is to get any employment. It would reveal the future for the rest of our country, and that is dismal.<BR/>The truth is that Karl Roves' world of "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality." is running full speed as the media make John Edwards disappear. And they do this because he speaks to the real 'reality' that our fascist corporate government wants us to ignore. If by some miracle he does get elected, the fascists would simply have him assassinated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
