If Obama is a fairy tale, does that mean it will have a happy ending?

[Drunken Irishman]

Since, you know, all good fairy tales end with "...and they lived happily every after".

Who's with me? :D

[suston96]

1. Happy ending? Actually it's a happy beginning, isn't it?

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Touche!

[Bucky]

11. Depends. Are we counting all the dead people?

Obama's call for change is compelling because Washington establishment politics failed to stop a pointless vanity war sold by lies and fought over for oil and macho points. Tens of thousands are dead, millions uprooted from their homes, our country's reputation is soiled, our Bill of Rights desicrated, and in the process we've reaped two new generations of hatred and violence in the Middle East... all while piling on mountains of debt that we'll still be paying off at the end of this new century.

We're not looking to a candidate who promises hope because it's fashionable, we're looking for hope because we need it.

3. Run with it. It was a stupid thing to say.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. oh yes!

It's 75 F in the middle of winter and Obama's winning. I have to keep pinching myself. Is this a dream?

[Double T]

6. The BIG BAD RETHUG WOLF is going to chew HIM up and spit HIM out.

Guarantee IT!

7. I think the wolf lost his teeth

14. And it'll be easy to do.

He's going to reach across the aisle...and get his hand bitten off.

[Lerkfish]

8. honestly, I wouldn't even address such bs

just as I would advise clintonites to not address the tears thing. Its grasping at straws and doesn't deserve notice.

[sandnsea]

9. Bill was against the war from the start

you've got it all wrong I tell ya!

Talk about fairy tales.

[catnhatnh]

10. Well, maybe if they stroke him "long time".... N/T

[RoadRage]

12. *sigh*.. Obama.. Prince Charming...

Ughg.. sorry, a bit to "into" that analogy. ;)

13. Actually, the original versions of the tales were often quite morbid.

In the original tale, The Little Mermaid died, for example.

And then there's The classic from The Brothers Grimm, "The Girl Who Was Killed by Jews."

16. Living in America today is not a fairy tale. It's a NIGHTMARE.

After 7 years under the Bush Regime, there is no happy ending.

It is going to take a lot of hard work to turn things around. And the polls have consistently shown that Edwards is the Dem candidate who can beat ALL Republicans.

That is when the real fight begins, when the GOP machine starts slicing and dicing the Dem candidate. I believe Edwards is the best one to survive that ambush.

17. Have you read any non-Disney fairy tales......the answer to your question is YES.

[dipsydoodle]

18. A lot might depend

on whether or not you consider her to be a witch.
