1. No, this is working just fine... for us. n/t

[AllieB]

2. It's working fine until someone gets hurt.

There's the issue.

[Ian David]

4. Oh, yeah. There *is* that. How many people die between now and January? Okay, I'll sign. n/t

[beac]

8. Exactly.

And at this point, I don't see us getting any further cross-overs based on the behavior of the McCain-Palin mob. We've already reaped whatever benefit there was to be had from that, IMO. Now we must work on a) preventing harm from coming to anyone and b) making it possible for Obama to govern after 1/20.

The fight doesn't end on November 4th and we have to start preparing the ground. McCain needs to do his part by calling off the rabid dogs.


Also, when a petition with X-thousand signatures is delivered to him it might just make McCain feel a little bit worse about selling his soul and I'm okay with that too.

13. I think you're giving mcsame way too much credit supposing it might make him

feel a little bit worse for selling his soul. He has nothing to sell.

[beac]

17. Sadly, you may be right there.

But at least he will know that we know he has not a shred on honor left.

3. Thank you

[snappyturtle]

5. Just why would I do this?

edit: It isn't going to make any difference. He planted the seed of hate and his supporters are tending it. He can stop but his supporters and shills won't.

7. Why do anything?

does it hurt to voice opposition? Does it help to remain silent?

[snappyturtle]

12. He's digging his own grave. People who haven't learned ethics 101

aren't going to change because the opposition party recognizes the problem and tells them through a petition. I sign lots of petitions but this one...no. If anything I think getting signatures strengthens them more. They'll learn from Sen. Obama's methods of campaigning.

10. See my response above to IanDB1. n/t

6. Why? The more he exposes himself as the racist j-off that he is, the higher Obama's poll numbers go.

Hell..the O-man has flipped North Dakota a very light shade of blue. NORTH FREAKING DAKOTA! When was the last time they were ANYTHING but deep dark red?

Screw McCain and Palin... hand them as much rope as they want to hang themselves with. He's reduced been to tossing various snotty fits about "mean nasty cocktail party elitist liberals," as he finds his base reduced to only the pitchfork waving morans.

14. Signed it.

15. Protest being planned for next Friday at McPalin headquarters

in VA by a nationally syndicated black radio talk show host, if McCain or campaign spokesperson doesn't call into his show by this Friday with an explanation for the blatant racism and hate at his rallies. This is not a game what his campaign is doing, is more serious than a lot of people realize.

16. done

18. kickety!
