PAID TO REGISTER!
Yesterday Paula Abeles and I and couple of other people were walking past the corner of Conneticut and Q NW and a group of 40 DNC trainers and volunteers were role-playing registering people to vote. As loyal Hillary supporters we tried to educate them about Barack Obama. The vast majority of them were uninformed, but a few were intellectually combative. We continued to watched the training and noticed one of the trainers teaching the volunteers to offer money for voters to register. One of the women with us shouted, "You're offering money. That's illegal." The trainer quickly responded, "You misunderstood." An argument ensued. Another trainer came up to me and yelled, "We're going to call the police." "We're going to have you arrested." I looked at her in amazement. "For what, standing on public property." She yelled back, "For harrassment." Interesting since I hadn't said anything. I should have dialed the police on my cell phone. Anyway, I contacted Channel 7 and they came out and did a story today. Here it is, hot off the press.
I wonder who Hillary will choose as her vp. please get the excitement and discussion started. will it be an obama supporter. who can you think of who obama threw under the bus?
do we want obama to pick one and have it 2 against 1.
we have to make sure she picks vp and the sooner the better. please start the chatter that brings excitement.

What a disgrace for the Democratic Party! Is this the "CHANGE" we've been waiting for?

It's not surprising that Obama supporters would be on the corners handing out cash. Obama gave a lot of money away to the stupid ( whoops, meant to say super ) delegates. Yep . . . we will have the mostest bestest change that money can buy. Wait until the Obamabots realize that the "change" they will receive will take all that money back. This country always observes the golden rule; i.e., he who has the gold makes the rules.
