Well....I never thought I would say this, but I'm supporting Obama

[TK421]

Hillary fought well in this campaign, and received impressive numbers in many states....she will always have my respect and best wishes to her in her future endeavors. It is clear that it will be Obama vs. McCain this GE, and I know that the Republican slime machine will stop at nothing to get the insane old fart elected. I think this will be a vicious contest, and can sense that there will be plenty of stories-scandals...whatever in the months to come meant to smear Obama. Now is clearly the time to focus our efforts on McDouchebag and his cronies.

Barack Obama....congratulations, and you have this vote in November :thumbsup:

[Happyhippychick]

1. Let me be the first to give a warm welcome!

[TK421]

7. Thank you...I never thought I would hear THOSE words in this forum..

:rofl: but thank you !:D

[Happyhippychick]

34. That's such a shame. We're all brothers and sisters for the same cause.

:)

[TK421]

41. agreed....I was referring to the state of affairs in this forum over the past five months

is all...you are right.

[Happyhippychick]

60. Yes, things have been ridiculously rancourous. I hope it's all behind us.

[faithfulcitizen]

5. (Clinton's voice crackles over the helmet radio) "TK421, why aren't you at your post?"

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :evilgrin:

PB

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

10. Seriously, try to resist from now on. n/t

16. It was a joke, and not an ill-mannered one either. Stop flexing, you don't need to hit anyone. n/t

thank you for what I'm pretty sure is a classy welcome. I'm looking forward to everyone working "together" again

[Poll_Blind]

24. Indeed! Love your Marguerite Perrin icon, btw. n/t

PB

[TK421]

32. thanks...for a while I was considering on getting something else

but it kind of grows on you

[OC_Lars]

23. heh heh

"uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"

[TK421]

72. "We're sending a squad up"

"Uh, negative,negative....uh..we have a reactor leak here, uh, now, uh...give us a few minutes to lock it down, uh , large leak..VERY dangerous"!

"Who is this? What's your operating number"?

"Uh....( BLAST ) boring conversation anyway...LUKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!!!!"

[emilyg]

58. Resist harder. Grow up.

[TK421]

62. emilyg...it's good to see you here

:pals: it's been a rough day

[emilyg]

69. Back at 'ya

:pals:

[mkultra]

114. perhaps you should

TK421 is the call sign of the storm trooper that stood at the bottom of the mellenium falcon ramp.

The phrase is from the movie "TK421, why are you at your post"

It is witty, current , pop humor. You should get over yourself.

[myrna minx]

6. Thank you.

8. Thank you! n/t

96. PB?

Whatever happened to J? I like apricot and blueberry on my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

[blonndee]

9. Thank you TK421! We need all Democrats this year!

Obama needs your support, and I'm so glad he has yours!

[TK421]

25. Well, something tells me it's going to be a nasty fight this year

Obama will need all the support he can get, but something tells me he is pretty much there :D

[babylonsister]

11. Wonderful; we need all the Dems we can get to kick Gramps' ass! nt

[TK421]

81. Gramps ass will be kicked...I am confident about that one n/t

[Aloha Spirit]

12. insane old fart machine VS reality: we have some pretty good seats on history.

I'm really glad Obama has your vote!
high five!

[TK421]

22. back atcha! but don't beat me, bro!

:D

[adoraz]

14. nice to hear :)

[Catherina]

18. Another latte coming up!

Drink up and enjoy!



Thank you. Down with McCain!

[TK421]

40. I like extra espresso in mine...I'm such a frigging snob!

:D

[Catherina]

42. Extra espresso? Something tells me you'll fit right in TK!

I think I'll be the odd one out because I don't even drink the darn things lol :)

Extra Espresso coming up!

[TK421]

46. I have the good fortune of having an Italian gelatto (sp?) shop directly across

the street from my job...and they have awesome lattes and coffee ( not expensive, either...a large 20oz latte runs about $2.50 since theatre employees get a discount ) the owners are super nice, too!

[rebel with a cause]

117. Alergic to coffee

So you are not alone, I don't drink it either.

[Shakespeare]

19. Yay!!!

Welcome aboard!!! :applause:

[TK421]

85. Thank you Shakespeare...I've read many of your posts...you are a valued member here

and seem to be a reliable voice of reason, as well....

Let me reiterate....I still support Hillary Clinton and hope she plays a part in Barack Obama's cabinet ,whether it be VP, secretary of the treasury or whatever she wants..she is and always will be a valuable asset in the fight against the Republican war machine......Republicans are terrified of her, and certainly did not want her in office...but to have her at the side of Barack Obama? Jesus Christ Almighty...talk about shaking the Repub foundation to its knees!

[not_too_L8]

20. let's beat McCain

[TK421]

33. He can have the Evangelical, Catholic, Methodist, Episcopalian vote

wrapped up....and STILL not have a prayer

[PoliticalAmazon]

21. Thanks for your gracious support....

As Stephanie Miller would say, "Tell all your friends and flavins."

[Yael]

26. Thank you for your support. Time to kick some McCain butt!!!

[TK421]

35. He's toast.....heh, I just recognized your name

I do believe we had a disagreement at one time...water under the bridge, of course, but it is good to be on the same side for once :toast:

[Yael]

78. I do not recall that, but please accept my apology if I offended

as I am sure I did. :blush:


:toast:

[TK421]

79. No, I can't recall exactly so I don't have much to offer on that end...

it's all cool now....however, there are two extremely obnoxious Obama supporters who I am having trouble taking off of my ignore list. They posted such nonsensical bullshit in the past ( and inflammatory, confrontational ) that I might reconsider. I don't believe what you said ever drove me to that action...it was just part of a discussion and a particular response...or perhaps I could be completely wrong about this? :shrug: and maybe I am

Needless to say, we are on the same side of the fence now :hi:

[rebel with a cause]

118. I can see your post so you must have not been

obnoxious in any post I saw of yours, because I have an ignore list of 25. :rofl:

Only the very obnoxious have been put on it simply because of my bad heart. When I see replies to post I cannot see and they seem friendly then I will start clearing the list one by one.

Oh, I am not going to welcome you because you have been here for a while, and to welcome you would be weird. I will just say that I am happy to have you supporting the Democratic candidate as I do.

[TK421]

120. Well, I can tell you now that you are definitely NOT one of them...I am quite sure

we have never spoken to each other...I recognize your handle, but nothing negative pops up in my memory bank at all ( names I tend to remember ).

You said you have a "bad heart" but what is the problem with it? The reason I ask is bad hearts kind of run in the family ( my mothers side ) and I'm certain to get my fathers high blood pressure, too!!! I'm kind of screwed here

[Lucky 13]

30. Thank you.

Thanks for being a loyal democrat. Now let's go kick some ass!

[PleaseSayItAintSo]

31. Welcome!

Now, let's kick Repugs out of office top to bottom!

By the time this is over, there shouldn't be a Repug Dogcatcher left in the USA.

[TK421]

43. By the way...what do they call those people in the medical field who collect semen samples

from patients? There won't be a Republican among them, either! ;)

[PleaseSayItAintSo]

53. HA! Of course, there will always be Gravediggers for McBush ...

Welcome again. Good to have you back.

[jwirr]

37. Thank you.

121. thank you...it's time we came together for a common cause

[countmyvote4real]

44. Well done. And it feels good, too.

Neither were my first choices, but my preferred candidate was gone by Super Tuesday.

Yes, We Can.

[TK421]

49. Special attention needs to be given to former Edwards supporters as well here...

I had a great deal of respect for the man before...and I do know that he has a very loyal base of supporters

[Indenturedebtor]

45. TK421 I love your name :D

Onwards To Victory! :salute:

52. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :)

[99th_Monkey]

54. I couldn't help myself ....

from happily giving this a heart-felt recommendation.

welcome. btw - I got to be an Obama supporter via Kucinich, then Edwards. so I know how it feels
when "my candidate" doesn't win, twice over actually.

thanks for showing your love for the party and the nation in this way at this crucial time.

[TK421]

56. thanks for the rec...it's good to be here

[Why Syzygy]

55. You are so right .. about forthcoming ugly attacks.

He will continue to amaze us, I'm sure.

Welcome! :bounce:

[TK421]

122. I've seen this happen too many times in the past...we all have

but had better get ready for some nasty shit to come out these next four months...and I'm certain it will be rotten to the core mudslinging nastiness..count on it.

[billyoc]

59. He really is a crazy old war monger, isn't he?

K&R :hi:

[TK421]

64. someone here keeps posting that picture of him hugging shrub, and whenever

I see that, I can actually feel my blood pressure going up...what an opportunistic leech :mad:

You know he was primed for this spot well before that disgraceful photo-op; sink that low and lose my respect...oh, he never had my respect anyway. Nevermind

[billyoc]

67. Ohhh, yeahh... Imagine hugging the man who used racial slurs against your CHILD?!

It's inconceivable. :wtf:

[TK421]

70. He's every bit the scumbag that * is...just another ass-kisser

doing what he had to do in order to get enough support from his base to get where he is now

[Imagevision]

63. Welcome back to the real world...

[TK421]

66. Thanks, but I was IN the real world to begin with...just on the other side

of the opposition...

I hope you're not implying that I was in some kind of dream-state before tonight, because this would just be a lousy start to any healing process I'm trying to follow through with here in earnest

[TragedyandHope]

65. K&R - Go Democrats!

[TK421]

68. I messed up once with my pledge of not drinking, but after that image

I just might indulge tonight....it's been a while

[rhett o rick]

71. Thank you for being gracious. We need to start fighting now. They will try everything

they will try to use race as the divider. We must no only fight back, we must fight first.

[TK421]

95. I can see they are trying to use race now...I think most of America has

wised-up and seen through that bullshit....

[rhett o rick]

116. You are giving "most America" waaay to much credit. And they ain't seen nothin yet.

If I was KKKarl Rove, I would try to instigate a race riot in one of the major cities. I don't think it would be hard considering these tough economic times. A lot of your "most America" would abandon Obama in a flash. Remember these monsters will do anything to retain power.

[TK421]

119. I can only relate to the people I have spoken to personally..and the general

consensus from various polls ( yeah, I know...they are not reliable at all ) but given the amount of votes Obama received throughout this primary season speaks volumes, I think...definitely a good sign that people are not afraid to have a black president ( imagine saying THAT 30 years ago )!

[DerekJ]

73. You're a class act TK421. Good for you.

[TK421]

76. Thank you for the compliment...glad to be on board

and looking forward to seeing us make a difference come November :-)

[Whisp]

74. that is just wonderful. hugs to you. nt

80. hugs back, and I'm not a touchy-feely guy either!

87. Thank you for the list...but I'm a bit confused about the Obama pro-choice option?

because I thought that was up in the air here

[City Lights]

82. Yes! Let's kick some GOP ass!

:hi: Glad you've decided to support Obama. :hi:

[TK421]

88. We've got a LOT of work to do these coming months, No Surrender

a LOT of work....these people may be a bit slow and ignorant, but they are far from stupid and inexperienced. They KNOW how to dig up dirt on an individual for personal gain.......read this article...I found it quite enlightening myself

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2004/101804.html

[StevieM]

83. I guess I'll hold my nose and vote for him....and eagerly await voting against him in the

2012 Democratic Primaries. I can't imagine that he won't be such a terrible president that he doesn't draw an opponent.

Steve

[TK421]

90. StevieM I know where you are coming from...believe me, I do

now is the time that we take back the White House and bring control back to us. We really need to work together on this one...particularly this election because not only is it historic, but it is a real CHANCE for us to turn shit around and make things right again. My hat is off to Hillary...she did a fine job, and she will always have my respect and admiration...but now we do have a nominee. I said about a week ago that whoever it was, I would support them, because they are the Democrat running. I will stand by that statement even now. This is the time to pull together, I am sure of it

[mkultra]

115. if he loses in 08, i doubt he would run in 12

[vaberella]

84. Hugs and welcomes. I jumped on board after Ferraro and really once I saw Clinton endorse that old

fart. It's good here we need to organize.

[TK421]

91. "That old fart"......despite what Ferraro said, and how her comments enraged

Obama supporters here with that speech, let's not forget that she, too is a Democrat. She does, indeed believe in the same things we do, and has been politically active since....oh, shit..now I'm feeling old, and I'm not that old, but I remember her from the early 80's. Let's just get past that shit

[Pushed To The Left]

86. K&R! Democrats are coming together, much to the dismay of the right wing!n/t

[TK421]

92. Come November, their Depends will need changing about every four hours or so....

and Rush will be out of work...selling Oxycontin on the streets, propositioning Ann Coulter, who I suspect wont have much of an audience after this election ( who exactly listens to that filthy snail-trail anyway)?

[BlooInBloo]

89. :) Welcome to the McOlderThanDirt asskicking team! There's plenty to go around!

[TK421]

93. Hey BlooInBloo!

glad to be on board, and looking forward to kicking some serious old, wrinkled ass this November!!

[TK421]

125. Thank you...sorry for the late response....I am off and on here due to various reasons

and it is truly time to move on to November...our biggest challenge

And I will tell you this...do NOT underestimate McCains base....around my area there are plenty of post-shrub voters who will gladly put shrub#3 in office. Thankfully, there are a great deal of progressives in my area ( I used to think that this town was run by families and nothing would change...well, it IS run by families and they have overwhelmingly voted for Hillary or Obama here ).

I can only speak for the borough I reside in...but this town is most definitely NOT Republican...this is a blue-collar town....and always has been

[intaglio]

101. You are a supporter of a Democratic candidate

Who you favoured (Clinton or Obama) is of no import whatsoever because now the target is the White House where, on 20 Jan 08, a Democratic President will take up residence.

[TK421]

106. agreed 100%

[mopinko]

103. welcome aboard.

glad to have you. please consider donating or volunteering, also. everyone needs to help, at least a little.

[TK421]

109. Yes...I will consider both

[mopinko]

112. don't feel singled out. i am twisting every arm i can find.

gave a guy at the coffee shop a long, long speech the other day. not sure how he felt about it, but the barista was psyched by the time i was done.

[TK421]

126. No, I don't feel singled out at all........we all have a job to do now

that is crystal clear....

Did the barista give you free coffee, like mine across from my workplace? :evilgrin:

[mopinko]

127. i had already paid, but

this is a little independent joint, and i would be reluctant to accept. hope she will make a few phone calls, tho. the place has free wifi, so maybe they could get something going.

[Pisces]

104. welcome aboard.

[TK421]

110. It's good to be on board...I think it's safe to take off the waders now

105. Of course you are!

How could you suport mcsame. The idea is ludcrous.

You are a dem after all!

Welcome the next few months are going top be a whole lot of work and a whole lot of fun! We have a man of integrity we can get behind and a waffling enabler of some of the greatest horrors ever fostered on america to beat up. Its going to be grand! So glad you will be along for the ride!

[TK421]

107. I'm drooling with anticipation.....

I am looking forward to it, as well :evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

108. I have a damn anti-Gay marriage thing to fight!

111. You also have some really great news in the last few weeks

The CA supreme court decision was awesome! it needs to be built on. I for one am going to try to help move the possitive forward.

[TK421]

123. I do hope you know that I am 100% behind your fight here, although Obama

has not expressed his enthusiasm towards this topic.... I see it, as do the rest of us here. Ronny, I DO see a turning point in the near future...for what it's worth

[ronnykmarshall]

129. Thank you so much.

But what would the "God Warrior Woman" say??? :rofl:

[mkultra]

113. Glad to hear it

Clinton ran a great campaign and it was neck and neck.

Its time to remember who the real enemy is.
