MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) ― Unlike his Republican opponent, Democrat Barack Obama is still raising money for his presidential campaign, and he turned Friday to rock legend Jon Bon Jovi for help.
Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea, hosted more than 100 people for dinner on their mansion lawn by the Navesink River in Middletown, N.J. The price was $30,800 a person, to be divided between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
"When I look at Barack, I see an old man," Bon Jovi said in introducing his guest. Obama is 47, Bon Jovi is 46.
Obama spoke for about eight minutes before greeting guests individually. He vowed to fight Republican attacks on his character and background more fiercely than John Kerry did in his losing campaign four years ago.
"We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about," Obama said. "I don't believe in coming in second."
Earlier in the evening, Obama attended a $2,300-per-person reception at the nearby home of veteran party fundraiser Phil Murphy. About 200 people, including the Bon Jovis and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, attended.
Republican nominee John McCain can raise no more campaign money because he accepted about $84 million in public funding and the restrictions that go with it. Obama turned down the public funding, figuring he can raise and spend more on his own.

The Conservative Palinguage Guide Vols. 1 and 2
If you live in an Urban area and you get a girl pregnant you’re a “baby daddy.”
If you’re the same in Alaska you’re a “teen father.” (Actually, according to your own MySpace page you’re an F’n redneck that don’t want any kids, but that’s too long a phrase for the evil liberal media to take out of context and flog morning noon and night).
Black teen pregnancies? A “crisis” in black America.
I wonder if Alaska has someone to advocate for the moose in an Al Sharpton sorta way.
Some moose are more equal than others.

Yesterday was Sunday, but I've been a little unfocused and I thought it was Monday. So I came here like I was going to work, and the whole place was empty. And at first I couldn't figure out why, and I had this moment of incredible fear and also, it just flashed through my mind. The whole hall of justice, it's empty, it's deserted, it's gone out of business forever.
And I just wondered what a thing it would be if, overnight, everything you owe anything to -- justice or love -- had really gone away.
Free. It would be heartless terror. Yes, terrible, and very great. To shed your skin, every old skin, one by one.

HIs argument was that Paul would never get any of those things passed. I said I didn't think American women would want to take a chance on that.
He then gave me a bunch of shit about how I thought-- and these are his words -- my RIGHT TO ABORT was more important than brown people being killed by the thousands.
Another regular told him that his concern was appreciated and to fuck off.

Neil Diamond is OK if you only listen in small amounts to the music done while he was still driving around with his records in the trunk of his car and was hungry. When he started being a "Star" he sort of lost whatever he had that made his music interesting.

When I read of the unemployment or the banks failing or the mortgage business going bad or the increasing oil prices and the economic pain: the answer the Republicans are offering - hatred, shrill screaming about divisiveness, and sarcastic praise from a lightweight lady who really has no business criticizing ANYONE just seems an effrontery.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton marched for labor and stumped with Democrats on Saturday, but sidestepped questions about the woman who has taken her place as the nation's most-talked-about female leader.
ADVERTISEMENT
Clinton brushed aside questions about Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin during appearances at New York City's annual Labor Day parade and later during a stop on Staten Island.
"This election is about issues, and that's what's going to matter to people at the end of the day," she told reporters who asked her about the Alaska governor at a rally for a Democratic congressional candidate at Wagner College.

The Russian alphabet is fascinating, It is due to two brothers who were also monks, Cyril and Methodius, in the Greek Orthodox faith. So they were extremely familiar with the Greek alphabet, and about two-thirds of the Russian alphabet is Greek, with maybe three letters from Hebrew, and a few made up on the spot.
The Russian r's look like p's because the Greek rho looks like a p. Similarly the Russian p looks exactly like a pi - π - because that's what it is.

Besides, hunters would never vote for a Democrat - they have been brainwashed into the mantra that they'll somehow "take away our guns".

Wish Hecate were around. A good piece on Palin and female conservatives: That is what makes right-wing women so dangerous to other women. They have perfected the trick of stamping a feminine image on male power and selling it as something new, when what they are in reality the most fervent upholders of the status quo or even determined – as Palin is over reproductive rights – to turn the clock back...
In the meantime, it speaks volumes that the only woman in this crucial presidential contest is the beneficiary of patronage, hand-picked rather than elected, and the holder of startlingly reactionary views. The American electorate is allowed to vote for Sarah Palin, if it so wishes, but not Hillary Clinton: patriarchy still rules OK.

That is my perception. I am not speaking for Vicki. Listen, I CAN speak for the Dutch pretty well. (I AM one of them and always have been) The Dutch do not LIKE crazy people. Offering a bounty on the forepaws of wolves shot from planes is NOT a "Dutch" thing. It is an anathema to the Hollander, in fact. It goes against what is taught in the church. Hunting is permitted but not encouraged.
There are other things. Hollanders NEVER glory in killing or praying for a pipeline - for example. That would be a sin. These really right-wing positions are NOT the Dutch way. The Republicans from outside have never really understood this.
But I do agree with Blodge. They might not vote rather than vote for a Dem. Either way, they will not be strong supporters and that is good enough for me. I just don't see them winning. The choice of Palin was NOT a good one if they hoped to win Michigan.

I stand by what I said. The Republicans are simply not offering anything. They are only tearing down what the Dems are offering. If anything, that is the problem. We NEED something here. Not hatred and contempt for the other guy.
And another aspect of this is that Barack Obama - again, whatever else you think about him - is NOT a particularly nasty guy. He is not pushing a divisive or hateful agenda. It is HARD to work up a lot of hatred for him. The only way you can really do it is for WHAT he is not for WHO he is. And if you are that racist then nothing he can do will win your vote anyway.
And finally, why not the best for the a change? We tried the other way.

There is virtually no chance that Obama will not take all the Kerry states. On top of that, He's got Iowa and NM pretty much in the bag. He needs only six more electoral votes on top of that to win, and there are 9 more tossup states: VA, CO, OH, FL, NC, IN, MT, NV, snd ND. Any of the first 6 or any 2 of the last 3 wins it. Unless there is big movement in the S-B-S polling behind the conventions, it's really hard to see him losing.

I told her I would have my daughter's pray for her in their Catholic school since Palin was her VP.

Not so much, they actually are afraid of each other, but they bond on the anti-choice issue.
I think most Catholics, given the social service aspect of Catholicism (least of my brother stuff), would vote Democratic if it weren't for the choice issue.
I also think something more diabolical is at play: I think the choice issue is the perfect wedge for the Church to marry up with the Republican Party because of money. The Church is the wealthiest institution on earth, so it makes sense to me that they'd support the greedy politics of the Republican party.
Just my take, feel free to offer yours if it differs.

It was always my intention to build a small house in Oceana County when I retired. I am retired now but I have not done so. My neighbor's mom has a nice lot she will sell me at a bargain price and I would love to buy it: but the driving is just becoming impractical. (The lot is a beauty - on Little Point Sauble)
Now the house we have in town is looking better and better. We have great neighbors, turkeys, deer, and other wildlife in the backyard. Eagles overhead and close to everything.

Early on they were rehearsing on a houseboat in San Francisco, and Sam Andrews from Big Brother, who had heard they were on to something, stopped by to listen. When they were done, he just looked at them and said "you guys are better than the Beatles."

The Democratic Club here DID have a yard sale recently with the proceeds going to the Obama Campaign.

"At least WE have PIECE OF ASS on the ticket!"
Perhaps its the only way they can accept a woman on the ticket, to think of her as nothing more than a vagina that speaks....

Bread and circuses, people. This is the anti-60s era. No offense, but none of these pols offer shit for the common man, man.

The "maverick" is looking more and more like a sidekick...merely going along with the powers that be...he says and does whatever he thinks his champions want to hear. Just like calling lobbyists 'birds of prey' which is a total contradiction to what his true ties with these unnecessary evils in Washinton are.
