Our neighbors 81 and 80, took down their Hillary yard sign.

[ClayZ]

He is a Vet for Peace. They both attend all the local anti-war rallies. We went to caucus with them. They got Hillary signs at the Caucus. They had been to a Hillary book signing, and promised her to give them their vote.

He just called to say he is done with her. He was very upset with the Red Phone add and her insinuation that John McCain would be better as Commander in Chief than Obama.


They are not online.


"There is an awakening among local Dems his age", he said.


YES WE CAN

GO OBAMA!

[polichick]

1. Good for them!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

20. No doubt...It's a good day when folks of any age can see the backstabbing for what it is.

[grantcart]

2. and they were not just whistling tks

[writes3000]

3. Glad people are paying attention. Thanks. n/t

[Metric System]

4. And my next door neighboor says that aliens abducted her cat, Mr. Cuddles. Why not?

[EmilyAnne]

8. Hmm...I think the OP is believable and your story is not. Oh well.

[Mags]

9. Well, my 79 yr old Mom and Her 76 yr old Sister , lifelong

Dems. put up Hillary signs in their front yard yesterday, then got phone calls from all neighbors wanting to know how to get Hillary yard signs. Wow.

[EmilyAnne]

11. Oh, please, totally unbelievable. Why are you making up such outlandish stories?

:sarcasm:

[Hepburn]

14. Sure..........

....right....:eyes:

[ORDagnabbit]

17. so they support cluster bombing civilian areas and landmines?

[Mags]

51. They love Hill.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. Sorry, don't believe that either.

You, like your candidate, have a credibility gap.

[grantcart]

30. we look forward to the pictures

[Hepburn]

12. And may we assume she is supporting Hillary....

...and so is Mr. Cuddles?

Just curious....:hi:

[ClayZ]

22. Meet my neighbors!

[Hepburn]

32. Ooooooooh, they are so sweet!

:hug: You are lucky to live by them. They are so cool!

[ClayZ]

52. They are the BEST!

Her Christmas cookies are to die for! He is a retired Boeing Engineer. They spend lots of time in gardening and have received the "Local Neighborhood" award for their beautiful yard.

[roguevalley]

55. sweet god. that woman is the SPITTING IMAGE of my mother. I

am not kidding. She is a twin. My mother passed away last may. I still cry every day. That man looks like my father, sweet and good and brave. Thank you for this post. I am shocked. Shocked.
Shocked. My mother's image.

RV, blinking tears.

[ClayZ]

61. Ohhhh!

These two are both amazing people.

My aunt passed away several years ago and I see her likeness in people I pass by sometimes. She always told me she would come back to "See" me.

You just never know.

Before my brother died, he told me to watch for Dragonflies. It worked! I think of him each time I see one.

Blessings!

[roguevalley]

65. for me., its cardinals and blue jays for mom, hummingbirds for my

dad. they were sort of agreed upon signs. SIGH! This picture is precious. I send hugs and love to you for your aunt and brother. if I didn't have signs nearly every day from them, I would find it hard to continue. Hugs, ClayZ. Blessings back atcha.

[better tomorrow]

78. golly, I hope I'm still going strong at 80....

please give them a big thank you from Mommy......

[Cha]

80. I love them!

:loveya:

[kimmerspixelated]

5. Isn't this great?

I LOVE stories like these!

[MADem]

6. Yeah, right! How many more of these testimonial posts will we see today?

Who sent out the "Yes We CAN...make shit up and post it on the internet" email?

[EmilyAnne]

10. Its not such a radical story, you know. Pretty simple to change one's mind about a presidential

candidate.

[MADem]

23. No, it isn't. But taken in concert with the bucketsful of other "testimonials" all "helpfully" put

forward by acolytes and earnest n00bs , all at -- such a coincidence -- the same frigging time, do forgive me if I ....
....
er.... look askance.

:eyes:

That's about as polite a response as I can manage.

If this were my forum, and I were a suspicious type, I'd be examining IP addresses.... for a bit of clarity.

[EmilyAnne]

26. IF you were a suspicious type?

[ClayZ]

43. Dang! I am a flutemaker. I was in the studio ...

this morning when my neighbor called.


I am going back to my studio now.

here is more proof:



http://www.youtube.com/user/Clayzflute

[roguevalley]

57. go ahead and examine them. last time I looked people could

believe in and choose whomever they wanted. if you don't like the thread, start your own. don't crap on this one.

[JoePhilly]

29. Here is another ....

My wife is a huge Hillary supporter ... or has been.

My wife is in her mid 40s and understands what it is like to be a career woman fighting her way into a male dominated field.

She is regularly in meetings where she is the only woman. She is very successful, and yet should still be higher level than she is now.

She's been called a bitch and unfeeling ... she's been underpaid and under appreciated. And she knows how to get things done.

And she sees that same basic model in Hillary.

But my wife is extremely ethical. She hates underhanded play ... its common in some male dominated fields ... and she refuses to play the game with those tactics.

And so she is now also FURIOUS at Hillary for using fear AND for her tacit endorsement of McCain.

She'll vote for her if she's the nominee, but Hillary may very well not get her vote if the primaries reach our state undecided.

[ClayZ]

33. It is a true story, dear one.

It was an interesting call today. I just though I would post about it.

[MADem]

54. And I've won two Oscars!

Hey, this is the internet! One can be and say ANYTHING in this anonymous environment.

[ClayZ]

64. Snowflakes and Eggs, by me

http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0501-12.htm

I got their ages wrong in that one. I have since learned they are the same age as my parents.

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Looks like Hillary is reaping the

shitstorm this time. I've been hearing a lot of comments like this from all quarters.

I'll admit I suported Obama before this, but it was lukewarm, something like a 60-40 tug of war within me. After the McCasin thing, though, I feel a level of disgust with her tactics beyond what I've felt for most Democratic candidates in the last 40 or 50 years.

[ExtraGriz]

13. not one obama sign my street...all hillary signs

[Hepburn]

16. Just the reverse here....

NOTHING for the Queen...no McCrazy signs...but a lot of Obama signs and stickers and I live in a Seniors development in sunny SoCal!

Yes...we can....it just takes us a bit longer to get there! :hi:

[buff2]

21. Yes you can?

WTF does that mean,anyway? Vote for someone who will lose in the fall? YES YOU CAN.

[Hepburn]

27. Awwwwwwwwww.....

....poor thing...you Hill-lovers are now having trouble with monosyllabic words, too!

Get well soon....:hi:

<point, point, clap, clap...> :rofl:

[buff2]

28. I'll stop throwing up when I don't have minister obama

preaching on my tv anymore. :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[grantcart]

34. that is a whole truck load of bitterness

[buff2]

38. Why is ok to hate the Clintons and call them

every name in the book,but when it comes to obama we shouldn't say or do anything against him. Double standard? Yeah,I thought so.:eyes:

[grantcart]

62. everything in your posts exude a fountain of bitterness - it really doesn't seem to

have much to do with the candidates at all.

[MADem]

77. No it isn't. He does "affect" a cadence that doesn't match his personal history.

It comes off as insincere, affected and flat-out false to some.

That's not bitterness, that's using simple powers of observation. He has every right to play a preacher on TV, and people have every right to look askance.

[Hepburn]

36. Noooooo....

...but I bet you do have a MONSTER instead of a MINISTER preaching on your screen since you do have a pic of one for your avatar.

Thanks for the straight line! :rofl:

[buff2]

39. I'll bet she looks a hell of a lot better than you........

and I'll bet you don't have MILLIONS either. :rofl:

[Hepburn]

46. Actually....

...if you had been bright enough to look and see where I live before you opened your mouth and made a fool of yourself...you might be able to guess that I am not exactly poor.

And since I am disabled by a crippling disease, looks are not that important to me as they used to be. I have some honest priorties...unlike you! Thanks for the slam about me now being crippled up!

Good work...:applause: asshole.

[buff2]

48. I never looked at your profile

I really wasn't that interested. Sorry about your disease. I never make fun of anything like that. Peace..

40. There is one hillary sign in our rural area

It belongs to my friend's aunt. Sweetest old lady too! I was actually shocked she was a Dem!

My daughter and I wanted one for Obama, but all we could get was a bumper sticker. Seems Ft. Hood and Killeen area snatched em all up.
Hey I was just proud as punch that a military town went BLUE~!

edit cause my spelling is screwy, though I would rather blame my keyboard.

[buff2]

18. That's all that's around here too.....Hillary signs

I never did get one myself.....but I am voting for her.

[buff2]

15. I finally talked my husband's sister and her husband

to vote Democratic. They were republicans who voted for Bu$h. Now they will vote for Hillary. They don't like St. Obama at all.

[Hepburn]

19. Of course they would prefer Hillary....

...she is Bush Lite....thus something they are used to and familiary with.

Maybe next time you can get them to vote for a REAL Democrat??? Good Luck with that!

[buff2]

25. Well they don't like MCLame

and they don't like Obama either. They like Hillary better. Nuff said.

[Hepburn]

31. Actually.....

...most I know hate Hillary. I do not know any person who actually has even a minimal positive regard for her...and that applies to Republicans, Democrats, male, female, old, young. She is equally hated by everyone I know. What I am seeing is that most will vote Dem if it is a Obama vs. McClain contest, but most will stay home and not vote at all if it is a Hillary vs. McClain contest since both Hillary and McClain are pretty much equally hated and disliked and there really is no difference between them ~~ both lying war hawk corporate elitists.

[buff2]

35. I don't hate obama

I just can't stomach the sight of him or to hear him t.....er preach.He's the biggest turn off since bu$h and his lying sneaking bunch.I see a phoney and that's the bottom line.

[Hepburn]

41. I don't care that much for Obama either....

...I just fucking hate Hillary Clinton and always have and I hate her a hell of a lot more than I don't care for Obama. I would rather have him as the nominee than that lying POS Hillary.

But...each to his/her own...and if you can stomach someone who supports cluster bombs that main children...well, you just keep stumping for that MONSTER, OK?

:hi:

[buff2]

45. I'll stump for the MONSTER

and you can stump for the MUSLIM. :hi:

[Hepburn]

47. See the difference is....

...she actually is a MONSTER...and he is NOT a MUSLIM...but don't let the truth get in your way!

[buff2]

50. he sure looked like it to me

especially sporting that robe and big turban. Oh well....you will find the real truth one of these days. Then again,maybe you won't.

[GoneOffShore]

69. I can't believe you're recycling that RW lie

Been debunked so many times.

But that's ok, I'm sure you'll be happy with McLame.

[roguevalley]

59. buff2, you walked into that one :)

[PatGund]

60. I've said before....

Sen. Clinton would be a fantastic choice for president.......

....if she was a Republican. Much of her voting record is very much in tune with that party, and I think she would be a tremendous asset to the GOP if she switched parties. (Plus it would be fun to watch the right wing talking heads explode as they tried to turn around 16+ years of Hillary-bashing.)

But she's a Democrat. And as such, I do not feel she is a good choice for this party - or the country.

[Umbram]

49. Wow, they can keep their values and change parties. How cute! (nt)

[buff2]

53. That's right........

They ARE keeping their values by not voting for St. Obama! :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[Umbram]

56. Thanks for agreeing that Bush supporters find Hillary a natural fit for Pres. (nt)

[OzarkDem]

37. I have to pick up some Hillary signs for my neighbors

she's picking up more support here every day.

[buff2]

42. I hope she wins

If we get that other one we will be screwed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. They are putting signs in their yards when the election is more than 6 months from now?

[enid602]

58. bonus

Don't you get some sort of bonus for that? front-row tickets on Oprah, brand-new car?

[krkaufman]

63. Do they have any friends or relatives in PA? n/t

[ClayZ]

66. The drove across country last year.

Both are very friendly!

I have a feeling if they are feeling this way, plenty of folks are.

I am the one who ran back into the caucus to get the Hillary Signs for them. She asked for one, and I got two.

My husband and I rode down there with them. Our neighbor is an old pro at caucuses and I had never been to one. I could not get an OBAMA sign for us. We laughed that we would have them covered with their Hillary Sign and if I got an OBAMA sign.

I printed one and put it in the back of our VW Camper.

So much for causing a shit storm with a simple story! ARGH!

[GoneOffShore]

70. Ignore the shit storm and the shit storm troopers

That's why the ignore button is your friend.

Your neighbors sound great!

[krkaufman]

74. They do sound wonderful; thanks for telling us of them. n/t

[AZBlue]

67. My heart goes out to them.

She's is letting down millions of people. It's hard to choose a candidate and then to get passionate about them and really support them, only to be spit on and so disappointed. I do, I feel for the Clinton supporters out there who are realizing what she's really like. I was one of them, but it was a while back, so my let down wasn't nearly as great.

[ClayZ]

68. I noticed they still have their,

"Support The Troops, Bring Them Home" sign out and their Peace Flag.

[Quixote1818]

71. My 80 year old dad had the same reaction. Unfortunately he already voted for her. nt

[ClayZ]

73. So did these folks in the Caucus. They just...

no longer support her.

[rug]

75. Can you ask them to send them to Pennsylvania? They're running out of them.

[IndianaGreen]

76. They are a couple of old FREEPERS

I thought I'll go ahead a post some of the venom characteristic of the jackbooted Hillary supporters.

:-)

Way to go!

[Cha]

79. I love to hear it when

people out there in the offline world can see what she's up to!

[ClayZ]

84. That is the amazing to me, too!

[candice]

81. Tell them that Obama is claiming Hillary wanted to scare people with that photo

of him in native garb. Show it to them and see if they laugh. It wouldn't scare a fly.

Maybe McCain's background does prepare him to be a better command-in-chief. Try to think like a Republican campaign manager.

How does McCain's military and Congressional record compare to Obama's? I don't believe Obama served in the military, and he has been too busy campaigning to attend to his committee. With Obama, one can hope he is going to be better. If he is the candidate, I'm sure there will be no end to the comparisons. Obama did give a speech in Illinois opposing the war. I objected to it as well. Too bad neither of us was in the U.S. Senate and had a chance to vote and that a selected president lied to Congress and the American people to start a preemptive war.

[David Zephyr]

82. The Clintons know they have to play race now to win, pitting whites against blacks.

And they don't give a hoot if it hurts them as long as they get that nomination.

And if they do, their nomination will be worthless.

[Froward69]

89. nail hit squarely...

[Swamp Rat]

83. "Error: You've already recommended that thread."

:D :hi: :hug:

[ClayZ]

85. Hi Swamp Rat.

Just reporting the neighborhood news. Geeeesch! I will think twice, next time.

Thanks for the flutter-by!



:pals:

[Swamp Rat]

86. I just wish I had a dragonfly pic for you.

;) :hug:

[ClayZ]

87. Oh! That is a beauty!

My brother was a drug pusher, I mean pharmacist. He had a great sense of humor.


Whenever I get a dragonfly fly-by, it is like a little Valentine from him. He sent me a Valentine every year for 55 years. Now they come on Dragonflies wings.

I have my grandmothers Christmas Cactus and each time it blooms it is like a postcard from her.

Our poor kids will will dream of ocarina tuning for the rest of their lives.

DO RE ME FA SOL LA TI DO

One daughter says the sound is in every dream. hehehehe!

[Swamp Rat]

88. They should be very happy that you do not make chromatic ocarinas.

do di re ri mi fa fi sol si la li ti

LOL! :D

[ClayZ]

90. I like the di ri mi fe se li

I was in the grandkids Jazz Choir Room the day we chaperoned them to the Music Experience Museum in Seattle. They had the Chromatic Chart on the wall. The kids say they sing solfege songs.


I want to go back to school. Those Music Teachers look like they have lots of fun.

[Swamp Rat]

91. Ah, I posted the Italian form

After earning two music degrees in 'classical' music, I can't help it. :D

Yes, go back to school to study music!!! I am back in school again working on a third grad degree in science... I LOVE IT!!!

[ClayZ]

93. Science, Music, Art,..... careful.

You may find the secret language of the birds.

Helmholtz knew. hehehe!


You will be turning base metal into "gold". (you probably already have)

[mtnsnake]

92. My neighbors, a veteran of WWI, & his mom, just took a baseball bat to their Obama sign

that the WWI vet's granddaughter had stuck in their front lawn one night after dark. They replaced it with a Vote for the Goddess of Peace sign because they're sick of wars and they know that Hillary is the only candidate who vowed to end Bush's war upon taking the oath of office.

[ClayZ]

94. I have inspired poetry.

:hide:

[goldcanyonaz]

95. You're the best!

:loveya:

[ClayZ]

96. We are all in the same Dem Boat.

We just have to get our oars in order. Right now we are going around in circles.

:crazy:

[mtnsnake]

97. haha, thanks goldcanyonaz. Just doing my utmost to lend a helping hand

:evilgrin:

:loveya:

[jhain]

98. Her spport for Mc Cain did it

Although, I decided for Obama weeks ago (Iraq-Iraq-Iraq) as a middle-aged woman I have continued to be interested in Clinton's campaign. Her support for Mc Cain changed all of that. I have been unsubbing from all that campaign's email notices today.

[ClayZ]

99. I think that is what happened across the street.

I am anxious for us all to be in the same Dem boat. This has gone on too long, I think.
