Politics



A rare political post here. And a quick comment. I know that many of you support Hillary Clinton for a variety of reasons, but I can't help but notice the contrast between this last commercial from the Obama campaign, and the negative nonsense the Clinton campaign subjected us to here in Texas the past three days.

Really, do we want another president who thinks karl rove style politics is something to admire? Honestly, don't we deserve better?

I think we do.

Kai, thx, bai

What's also striking is that the HRC campaign is robo-calling me to death, while I haven't heard anything (thankfully) from the Obama campaign.

Four Legs, it's OK for U to have your own opinions even if not identical to those of all your readers.

We are united in the Appreciation of Plushitude.

This is our First Value, one could even say our Primary Value. Except that might make Maddie yak on me.

Plushitude first, all else is just conversation.

Oy, that makes me glad I don't have a land line.

The Obama campaign won't robo-call you. If anyone calls it will be a live person.

I hope U did the right thing and voted for Barack- and plan to caucus for him tomorrow night. :-)

I so want Hillary to just go. the. fuck. away.

I voted for John Edwards on Tuesday March 19.
I got four calls from the Obama campaign, three of them taped calls from Michelle Edwards.
I got one call, tonight, a taped call from Bill Clinton.

I believe we deserve better too.
That's why I voted how I did.

I wish Edwards were still in the race.

But I'll take Obama over Clinton. She's the ultimate insider.

NO. When the primaries came through my mid-Atlintic region - I went to see HRC because she came to my University. Then I drove to the next state to another University to see BHO. I liked him better. I voted for him.

I'm tired of this negativity HRC has opened up. Even if she did manage to wrest the nomination from BHO, how will it help her in the general election against John Sydney McCain III? If it's about experience, does he not have more --in the ways she has framed and measured it?

BTW, I LURVE your kitteh picts. Mine passed away two weeks ago. I loved him for 16 years. He was a beautiful tuxedo boy with a milk mustache. He died of nasal lymphoma. We went with the full protocol of treatments -- radiation and chemo, but it was not enough. I’ve been missing him and filling my hunger by admiring your kittehs. Thanks for the photos.

correction - No for the first question (about Rove tactics) and Yes for the second - yes we deserve better.

Going to go vote for Barak at lunchtime, and will head back after 7 for caucus caucus caucus!

Yvainne, sorry to hear about your tuxedo boy. Had one named Karl (named for Marx, not Rove!) I had to put down last year, and then a few months later Miss Maxxine came into my life. Hope you have a new kitteh soon!

Yvainne, I am so sorry for your loss. Can you send me a picture of him? I'm sure the plushlife community would love to give him a nice send off so he can find his way to Maxx's comet.

four legs good, thank you. I will email you a photo of my kitteh Stash (short for Mustache). Could you explain, please, what is "Maxx's comet?"
