Possible Democratic Convention party/fundraiser - Page 2

NirvanaMan · 07-28-2008, 10:29 PM

Hmm. I like to party. And in terms of Dem's, I like Obama far more than any candidate I have seen within my lifetime. 'Cept maybe for Lieberman. I love what the guy has to say. Very inspirational. Problem is, I just can't support him on many, if not most, of his positions. I can't contribute and likely will not vote for him, but I do think I would be OK with him being elected. Far more than I could say for Clinton/Gore/Kerry. Finally, the Dem's decide not to run a d-bag. Good move. And the Republicans - McCain? Really? Maybe 10 years ago but dang. I don't know.

I am so disenfranchised as it regards the upcoming election. Once again I feel like I can't vote for the one I want so much as vote against the one I don't. Now, if I could guarantee Obama with a Republican congress? Well that certainly woud be interesting. Perhaps warranting my first vote for a Democrat ever. Suffice to say, I rarely vote for the Republicans either. I tend to vote for the loosing (Libertarian) candidates.

I think that would work quite nicely. I disagree with Obama on all of the details, but love the "can do" attitude, eloquent public speeches (what a refreshing change) and the suposed support abroad. If his "image" could alone fix the issues with the Dollar while a Republican congress could keep him in check from f'ing things up too bad, I might be midly satisfied.

I disagree.

Just realistic.

Ok, so we have two votes for watching the convention together on a weekday and one vote for weekend prior. Anyone else?

I believe it is time for a whole new set of people to govern us. I'm tired of the old guard that won't let go of the steering wheel even when the car is running off the road. Give some new people a turn. Shake things up a little. Might be interesting.

I'd love to go, but unfortunately work nights during the week. The weekend would work for me, but it seems like if one were to have this party, the night of his acceptance speech would be when to do it. If you did that, I might see if I could take the night off. It's not usually a problem.

For now, I'm not voting. You don't have a category that describes the above situation.

Cadaverous Pallor · 08-01-2008, 09:39 AM

Yeah, I would like to have his speech on at the party. Seeing as how "weeknight" is winning, I'm leaning that way. His acceptance would be the final night, I assume, which is a Thursday...
