I knew the end was nigh for the right wing wailers when I overheard a couple of 50+ ladies in a restaurant. They were both wearing Obama buttons but talking about Rush's show that day. I had to ask as it seemed a bit incongruous, to say the least

Here's what they told me;they take turns listening (also to Hannity and Savage and watching Fox news-turns out there's a number of them that do this) and making notes, then they research THE FACTS and do an email blast to everyone on their email list. Their email list includes all of their family members, church and other social club members, their kids and grandkids.

Ahhhh, educating people about the truth. This will spell the end of the hard right wing of the Republican Party. Maybe now the normal people can re-take control like many of us did in the Democratic Party.

When the Rs can't win over this demographic, Reagan Democrats if ever I saw them, it's over.

Pull it off the shelf, cut out the bad ingredients and rebrand it and better luck next time. Call yourself the "new Coke", that should do it.

So you ran into a couple of liberal hag hacks. I betcha those emails are deleted and not read and I betcha the people on their email list wish they would STOP sending that crap. I just delete that stuff without reading it.

I sure wish I was on their e mail list.

The truth is quite inconvenient, isn't it Luzianne?

I heard some students at the U of C (in Obama's neighborhood) were wearing McCain buttons and passing our literature they had compiled. It must mean we are in the end times.

Seriously.

Another suspect anecdotal story from golfgod, that just so happens to mirror exactly the obama-media talking points.

Can I tell you my anecdotal stories - well actually my husbands?

He goes to Iowa frequently on business trips - goes into heavy union facilities. He can't find an Obama supporter.

Same for his trips to Texas.

Also his liberal colleagues in Or/Wa. Not voting for Obambi.

There you have it.

I don't mind the truth. It's liberal lies and fabrications that I don't like.

I have been calling the undecided in Iowa for weeks, 10-20 calls per day. Three of those I spoke with are supporting Obama. ACORN must be doing a helluva job in Iowa, Minnesota and Ohio. Disgusting.

If the Dems weren't afraid Obama might lose, they wouldn't make comments like yours. Your party may be in their death throes come November 4th.
