I'm in it for the final battle...... who is with me?
I realized today that there is so much more
work to be done in the real world and the virtual world

Unfortunately, my health, doesn't allow me to get out
in the real world that much as I would like.
I just hope that my health will last
for this final battle.


Thank God that 911 bullshit is over on the national media scene........

Now, the next step.......

I changed at least two votes today in my limited way.

The National Enquirer story is a 'big deal' to
people, after I pointed out the Edwards story was proven true.


Now, take that and run................ 43 Meth Labs? Pregnant Daughter? Flying when your water broke?

SMALL TOWN FAMILY VALUES?

That's where I won points, not economic policies, education, enviorment or rational thought.

But each of those I mention you can back up with facts.

5. I'm in. Heading down to Obama HQ on Monday.
I lost my job, and have no good prospects on the immediate horizon.

So, I thought I would head down to his local HQ, and see what I can do.

But I'm going to put my time to good use, for Obama/Biden.

23. yep--me too
I'm almost hoping nothing comes through for a couple months -- so I can give my all to the election. With unemployment and my savings I can make it (just barely) for a couple of months--and this election is so important.

I will be thinking of you.

8. I'm with you....about that water breaking story. Did anyone hear what...
...I thought I heard during the CNN report tonight?

That the reason that she didn't stay in Texas was that she wanted to give birth to her child on Alaska soil.

Not that the MSM would care, but isn't that consistent with the alleged creepy notion that Alaska is the last refuge, post-Armeggadon?

Or is it just me?

13. There is a major science attacks going on in this stupid country


It makes people stupid, illogical and consumerist.
The subtle attack on education and intellectualism

year after year has given them a goal of Children
that can't think or compete, unless it is an American idol mentality,
but consume and obey.

They have Failed.............. the Kids know what is what.

I'm optismistic... I see something with the youth
I haven't seen since I was a youth and a revolutionary.

16. Even a woman as weird as this one can have a normal thought once in awhile.
She lives in Alaska and her family is there. That makes it home.

I didn't see the report, so if she wasn't knowingly putting her unborn child in danger by traveling, it's kind of normal to want to deliver your baby in familiar surroundings with a doctor you know and trust.


Then again, it could have been political in another way --- trying to distance herself and baby from *ush. Not wanting that photo op.

27. The Fricking Mayo Clinic

warned their patients against it years ago.

My God!!!! even you are not a female.
take your shoes off, because your feet swell.

Much better right.?........

Now, imagine what it does to the rest of your body
and your womb.

I'm fucking sick of this anti science stupidity
we have in this nation.


Anti- fricking logic now.

36. What is your problem?
Try talking in complete sentences and not making assumptions.

"even you not a female" Got verbs?

I am a woman. I had a child. At the time I had my kid the doctor said I could do most things and I did and kid came out fine.

But the science you are talking about makes sense - cabin pressure is a big factor and how far along she was would have made a big difference.

I'm not anti-science or anti-logic.

I was just saying it could have been a longing for home, vs some Armagedon/Alaska thing.

35. The only excuse I can imagine is that she wasn't thinking right...
Under the circumstances, stress, hormones, whatever goes on in someone's mind in that state I won't presume to know.

But for all the things that go wrong on planes and at airports, I can't imaging any reason to NOT go to the nearest hospital in Texas.

37. Well, hospitals in Texas wouldn't be MY first choice.

RE: I can't imaging any reason to NOT go to the nearest hospital in Texas.



I remember a huge and desperate campaign here to help a DUer get a family member moved from a hospital that was trying to pull the plug even though the patient would wake up occassionally and beg for them not to kill her. I don't recall if the person was in Texas, but it seems to me I remember part of the discussion brought up that the laws in Texas favor the insurance companies cutting their losses.

It was bizzare. Once the patient was moved to another hospital which didn't over medicate her she went from like 30% heart function to 50 or 60% within about 15 days. With a different treatment regimen it became obvious that the patient had been drugged into non-responsiveness which also had some affect on the heart function so basically the first hospital was trying to get rid of this person. The family had to get legal assistance and fast and the DU wrote and called anywhere we could to put the pressure on.

38. Totally different scenario that I mentioned, but the ATTITUDE..
would just give me the creeps and make it hard for me to trust my most precious child.

But she's a rethug. They would have surely treated her right there, right?

If the election is stolen again by black box and voter disenfranchisement, think I'll join in an attempt to fix it, but if it stays broke and McInsane is the new boss, I quit.

Fight, fight, fight until the last drop of blood.

28. Count me in!
I'm well to the Left (libertarian-left) of Obama, and have no real expectations of him becoming my "ideal candidate". I was also indifferent to his candidacy, until about May of this year. Moreover, I was concerned lest the issue of "racism", bogus as it may be, distract from the most IMPORTANT election I've ever seen. (6.5 years older than McCain, I've seen quite a few).

But I have NEVER seen a candidate who inspires such HOPE in my heart! GO OBAMA GO!

43. I was recently emailing an avowedly anarchist friend.
I commented (jocularly): "Please don't tell the Anarchist Central Committee, but I'm voting for Obama this year!". His reply was: "So am I!"
