obamamamablog: i didn't go
reynoldswrite: MAMA! YOU WERE A DELEGATE!
obamamamablog: they picked somebody else
reynoldswrite: WHY?
obamamamablog: i asked them to
reynoldswrite: Y?
obamamamablog: because FOCUS ON THE FAMILY was asking God to send bad weather and sure enough some tornados came on sunday so i just didn't go
reynoldswrite: focus on the family wanted rain on thursday night when obama speaks. obama was a thousand miles away when those tornados dropped on sunday
obamamamablog: i wasn't taking any chances.
reynoldswrite: look at what you missed! a chance to be part of history!
obamamamablog: i'm just fine right here, thank you. a week off from work; staying off my feet; watching my preachers on tv
reynoldswrite: well keep an eye on the weather channel. god isn't SENDING rain to wash out obama, but he's SENDING hurricane gustave to new orleans on the anniversary of katrina.
obamamamablog: God doesn't SEND hurricans
reynoldswrite: pat robertson said god SENT katrina to punish new orleans; so i guess he's sending gustave during the republican convention
obamamamablog: well, that won't affect the republican convention up in st. paul
reynoldswrite: it'll give the stupid news media something to talk about: it'll remind them of bush's incompetence when katrina hit
reynoldswrite: maybe it's a warning for mccain not to pick governor bobby jindal for vice president.
obamamamablog: lightning's going to strike you

Obamamamablog: we were talking about Obama in Sunday School
reynoldswrite: ahhh yes... the Adult Ladies Sunday School Class And Obama Watchdog Committee. do they know i call them that?
obamamamablog: no and i'm not going to tell them. i think it's sacrilegious
reynoldswrite: do y'all ever talk about anything other than Obama
obamamamablog: we go through the lesson--at least part of it--but we do get sidetracked on Obama most weeks
reynoldswrite: really worried about him, huh?
obamamamablog: yes. but it's not for the reason you think
reynoldswrite: and what reason do i think?
obamamamablog: you know
reynoldswrite: so why are all the ladies in your class against him
obamamamablog: because we're PRO-LIFE
reynoldswrite: and???
obamamamablog: and we want a president who'll appoint PRO-LIFE judges
reynoldswrite: and??
obamamamablog: and someday the court will overturn ROE V WADE
reynoldswrite: and??
obamamamablog: and there'll be no more abortions
reynoldswrite: sorry - but overturning roe v wade won't stop abortion
obamamamablog: it's a step
reynoldswrite: do you ever wonder why there's been no progress?
obamamamablog: ???
reynoldswrite: in the 28 years since Francis Schaeffer, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and all that bunch morphed into a political force, we've had republican presidents for 20 years, we have a republican supreme court and we've had a republican congress. how come nothing changed
reynoldswrite: how come there are MORE abortions now, instead of less ?? what have the republicans and the evangelical political leaders actually done besides raise money from the gullible?
obamamamablog: they're making this a pro-life country.
reynoldswrite: no they're not. when mccain named those justices he would never appoint if he were president, he forgot to tell you that he voted for them!! he voted for all 3 pro-life justices that have been appointed since he's been in the senate. he doesn't care about the ISSUE. he cares about GETTING ELECTED.
obamamamablog: he'll try to stop abortions.
reynoldswrite: no he won't. because if the issue ever gets solved, what issue will the religious right use to raise money? what issue will republicans use to make you blindly vote against the other guys ??
obamamamablog: i don't blindly vote against the other guys
reynoldswrite: some people do. every election is only pro- and anti-abortion to many well-intentioned voters who are convinced that god wants them to vote against the Democrat
obamamamablog: you spelled God with a small "g" and Democrat with a large "D"
reynoldswrite: this is an IM, mama - you don't have to worry about punctuation
obamamamablog: i still think God is going to strike you dead
reynoldswrite: he's eventually going to strike everybody dead, mama... but back to what we were talking about...
obamamamablog: abortion
reynoldswrite: this is not about abortion. let's call it what it is: it's about automatically voting for the republicans
obamamamablog: the ladies in my Sunday School class say if we can't protect the unborn, what else matters?
reynoldswrite: maybe they should read frank schaeffer's blog.
obamamamablog: who's Frank Schaeffer ??
reynoldswrite: strong pro-life advocate. always was. still is. son of Francis Schaeffer, who was a big dog among evangelical republicans
obamamamablog: you don't have to tell me who Francis Schaeffer is. or was. rest his soul.
reynoldswrite: Here's something Frank wrote. maybe you could take it to the adult ladies sunday school class and obama watchdog committee , lol
Dear Republican and Pro-Life Friends,
I am aware that Senator Obama is pro-choice. I think his pro-choice views are out of character with his otherwise generous and enlightened world view. But I think there would be less abortions in an Obama era than we have now.
As a born-again Christ-centered believer, Senator Obama offers a spiritual vision of life founded on the Sermon On the Mount. It is the freedom of "we." It is the same view of freedom that my Marine son John learned in boot camp: that the person standing next to you is more important than you are. That concept of freedom is more in keeping with valuing all human life. It will create a climate more friendly to mothers and children.
The poor account for four times the national average of people having abortions, mostly because of economic needs that Republicans don't lift a finger to address.The effort to reduce abortions will be more possible in the Obama era than in a continuation of the hardhearted Bush presidency with McCain. This is all about tone and moral leadership, not law.
The Republican leadership is not pro-life. They are simply against abortion for reasons of political expediency. They have milked the abortion issue, as have the Evangelical and Roman Catholic leadership, for every dime it's worth for fundraising, votes, power and empire-building, but not much has changed.
The Republican right wants us to draw back in horror from Senator Obama because he is pro-choice, but this is the same group working to elect a philanderer who abandoned his wife because she had a disfiguring accident.I’ll be voting for the man who will help us to become a nation that values life. I will be voting for Senator Obama. I am fighting for his election because I am pro-life.
reynoldswrite: this is part of a much longer post... i just pulled out some of the quotes that are relevant to what we are talking about.
reynoldswrite: you there?
reynoldswrite: mama?

Reynoldswrite: did you like mccain's bear story?
obamamamablog: the one about how we spent 3 million dollars to study the dna of bears in montana?
reynoldswrite: yeah. and his punchline was: i don't know if the issue is criminal or paternity.
obamamamablog: very funny. it's a good demonstration of what goes on in washington.
reynoldswrite: well, there actually was such a bill and mccain voted for it.
obamamamablog: then why's he making fun of it.
reynoldswrite: to win some votes.
obamamamablog: doesn't he know we can find out such things?
reynoldswrite: the people he's trying to appeal to aren't paying close attention. they like his zingers, they make up their mind fast, on emotion, and won't be following up. needless to say, the mainstream media won't follow up either. never has. never will. but now there's the internet, the blogosphere, and it's just full of people who have plenty of time to fact-check and who can post the results for the world to see.
obamamamablog: where'd you hear about him voting for the bear dna study?
reynoldswrite: http://www.factcheck.org/
obamamamablog: so he makes fun of what he voted for?
reynoldswrite: yeah. he knows he's got to make his audience mad--like i said, they vote their emotions and they aren't into checking facts
reynoldswrite: pretty callous, but it works
obamamamablog: if i had time, i'd check factcheck.org/ myself, but i'm getting ready for work.
reynoldswrite: you can take my word for it
obamamamablog: no way.
reynoldswrite: the bear dna study made you mad, the guy who told the bear dna story to make you mad voted for it, and you're so upset about it that you're going to do something about it by voting for the guy who voted for it and told you about it to make you mad to vote for him
obamamamablog: something like that
reynoldswrite: well, the bears of montana and the people who study them thank you for supporting mccain for supporting them, mccain thanks you for getting mad about washington supporting the bears, and the mccain campaign thanks you for being part of the dumbed-down electorate
obamamamablog: somebody's had too much coffee today
reynoldswrite: six cups. i read that if you drink six cups of coffee a day you won't get diabetes. so that's what i do, but i got diabetes anyway
obamamamablog: well, we have something in common, then. too bad.
obamamamablog: by the way, you can't believe everything you read
reynoldswrite: if it's on factcheck.org/ you can

Reynoldswrite: did you hear those lies at Rick Warren's Church?
obamamamablog: if you mean did i watch the interviews from Saddleback Church? yes. and I thought john mccain did real good.
reynoldswrite: i agree. it was the best i ever heard him do. he was slick, glib, fast--he didn't say "uh" or "ah" one single time. He didn't have to think of answers. they were all on the tip of his tongue. one time mccain answered all 3 parts of a 3 part question in advance ...and warren said, "wait, let me ask the question first."
obamamamablog: does that mean mccain's the smartest candidate?
reynoldswrite: it means somebody lied
obamamamablog: are you calling mccain a liar?
reynoldswrite: i'm calling rick warren a liar.
obamamamablog: i hope lightning strikes you dead.
reynoldswrite: warren said while he was questioning obama, mccain was already in the "cone of silence" a special soundproof room in the church. he wasn't.
obamamamablog: says who
reynoldswrite: nbc, cnn, nytimes and various people who saw mccain's motorcade, and warren himself.
reynoldswrite: the part i don't get is warren said "we flipped a coin" and senator obama goes first and senator mccain is in a cone of silence so he can't hear the questions.
reynoldswrite: but mccain wasn't even in the building
obamamamablog: that doesn't mean rick warren lied
reynoldswrite: yes it does. he told a worldwide audience something that was untrue. and then i heard him do it again on CNN
obamamamablog: ???
reynoldswrite: he said he wrote down the first question and gave it to both senators right before the questioning so they'd have a chance to get comfortable with the format. how could he have done that if mccain wasn't even there....??
obamamamablog: if rick warren said it, it must be true.
reynoldswrite: apparently not
reynoldswrite: i agree. it was the best i ever heard him do. he was slick, glib, fast--he didn't say "uh" or "ah" one single time. He didn't have to think of answers. they were all on the tip of his tongue. one time mccain answered all 3 parts of a 3 part question in advance ...and warren said, "wait, let me ask the question first."

obamamamablog: if rick warren said it, it must be true.
reynoldswrite: apparently not
Reynoldswrite: did you make more than $5 million last year?
obamamamablog: lol. i wish!
reynoldswrite: well, if you made less than $5 million, you're in the middle class.
obamamamablog: says who?
reynoldswrite: mccain. in the interview with Rick Warren at Saddleback Church.
obamamamablog: so if i've got less than $5 million, McCain thinks i'm middle class.
reynoldswrite: no. he said if you make under $5 million PER YEAR, you're middle class. Presumably, if you make $4.9 million per year, you're middle class.
obamamamablog: high standards.
reynoldswrite: i've never heard the phrase "high standards" used in reference to mccain before.
obamamamablog: don't make fun of a war hero!!!
obamamamablog: did you hear his story about the prison camp guard that drew a cross on the ground on christmas day? that brought tears to my eyes.
reynoldswrite: that didn't happen. he got that story from Solzhenytzen's "Gulag Archepelego." it was published more than 30 years ago.
obamamamablog: are you saying he lied?
reynoldswrite: either that, or his mind played a trick on him. because Solzhenytzen--who died last week, and who McCain has quoted in the senate and in his own book--definitely wrote it first.
obamamamablog: well, I'll swan. it's getting so i don't know what to believe.
reynoldswrite: you can believe obama. he hasn't lied about anything yet.
obamamamablog: maybe he just hasn't got caught.
reynoldswrite: well, who do you want as president--one dumb enough to lie, cheat and plagiarize and get caught... or one so smart he hasn't got caught.
obamamamablog: well, if you put it that way...
reynoldswrite: lol. btw, what's on the menu today?
obamamamablog: fried pork chops, cream corn, turnip greens and carrots.
reynoldswrite: save me a seat and i'll come spend some money with you, help you get into the middle class.
obamamamablog: honey, it'll take a lot more than your lunch ticket to put me in mccain's middle class.
reynoldswrite: lol!
reynoldswrite: well, if you made less than $5 million, you're in the middle class.
obamamamablog: says who?
reynoldswrite: mccain. in the interview with Rick Warren at Saddleback Church.

Reynoldswrite: did you see Paris Hilton's ad?
obamamamablog: why's everybody talking about paris hilton all of a sudden???
reynoldswrite: because mccain wanted to cut obama down to size after that overseas tour, so he said obama was nothing but a celebrity like paris and britney
reynoldswrite: it was just mccain being desperate--taking obama's popularity and trying to use it against him
obamamamablog: i'm sure obama will respond in kind
reynoldswrite: he doesn't need to. i think paris hilton's ad says it all: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/05/paris-hilton-responds-to_n_117137.html
reynoldswrite: send the video to all the ladies in your sunday school class / obama watchdog committee. ya'll can discuss it in class sunday
obamamamablog: not this week. we have a special report on obama and scarlett johanssen
reynoldswrite: because mccain wanted to cut obama down to size after that overseas tour, so he said obama was nothing but a celebrity like paris and britney
reynoldswrite: it was just mccain being desperate--taking obama's popularity and trying to use it against him

Obamamamablog: obama injected race into the campaign. that's the last straw.
reynoldswrite: mama, don't fall for that. obama isn't making race an issue.
obamamamablog: you're wrong this time. he said he doesn't look like all those presidents on the dollar bill. if that's not racial, what is it.
reynoldswrite: it's a warning about what mccain and his backers will do to make voters afraid of obama.
obamamamablog: saying he doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills is pure-dee-out racist. AND OBAMA IS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT IT UP.
reynoldswrite: mccain brought it up first.
obamamamablog: no he didn't
reynoldswrite: yes he did. mccain's bunch actually ran an internet ad with Obama's face on a dollar bill. here's a copy of it...
reynoldswrite: then the dollar bill turned yellow and blew up. go here to see the full ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPARec32KMI
reynoldswrite: did you watch it?
obamamamablog: unfortunately yes.
reynoldswrite: what do you think?
obamamamablog: I think you're destroying all my illusions about john mccain.
reynoldswrite: the truth is a powerful thing
obamamamablog: whatever.
Friday, August 1, 2008
Reynoldswrite: mama, is your adult ladies Sunday school class and obama watchdog committee still discussing the election?
obamamamablog: every Sunday morning.
reynoldswrite: are they still discussing jesus?
obamamamablog: not so much. mainly obama
reynoldswrite: do the other ladies still think he’s the anti-christ?
obamamamablog: we have all kinds of opinions
reynoldswrite: do y’all ever talk about mccain?
obamamamablog: we already know mccain. What’s to talk about.
reynoldswrite: how about him and Senator Strom Thurmond?
obamamamablog: ???
reynoldswrite: when Thurmond was 92 years old, McCain got mad at him on the Senate floor and they had a scuffle
obamamamablog: well, one little incident doesn’t mean anything. eynoldswrite: He also called Senator Charles Grassley a “fucking jerk” in a committee meeting.
obamamamablog: well, I’m sure he had good reason
reynoldswrite: he screamed in the face of Senator Richard Shelby, he called Senator Pete Domenicii an asshole
reynoldswrite: he screamed “fuck you!” at Senator John Cornyn
obamamamablog: well, those democrats make him mad sometimes
reynoldswrite: but, mama—those are ALL Republicans.
obamamamablog: well, I’ll swanee.
reynoldswrite: Senator Thad Cochran said "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine...He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."
obamamamablog: how do you know all this
Reynoldswrite: I read. Go here: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/01/27/famed_mccain_temper_is_tamed/ or just use Google and put in the word “McCain” along with any of the senators mentioned above, or “McCain temper”
obamamamablog: couldn’t you do the same thing with Obama?
reynoldswrite: nope. Because Obama’s not a hothead. McCain’s hometown newspaper said his temper is volcanic.
reynoldswrite: Senator Bob Smith said: “I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues . . . He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that."
reynoldswrite: Oh, here’s a cute one—from college conservatives—go here: http://blog.case.edu/conservativemovement/2008/01/29/john_mccains_top_ten_temper_explosions
obamamamablog: well, even Moses broke the ten commandments and Jesus drove the moneychangers from the temple
reynoldswrite: if you want to talk money changers, mccain’s son just resigned from a bank that federal regulators are seizing.
obamamamablog: lordy mercy, I wish this politics was over. I can’t hardly stand it when people like you make fun of a good man like john mccain.
reynoldswrite: maybe your Sunday school class should talk about what mccain called his wife.
obamamamablog: what?
reynoldswrite: go here: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/02/194648.php
reynoldswrite: so maybe you could bring up some of these things in your adult ladies Sunday school class this week?
obamamamablog: all very interesting, but we don’t care about all that. Obama’s the one that scares us
reynoldswrite: are they still discussing jesus?
obamamamablog: not so much. mainly obama
reynoldswrite: do the other ladies still think he’s the anti-christ?
obamamamablog: we have all kinds of opinions
reynoldswrite: do y’all ever talk about mccain?

reynoldswrite: Senator Thad Cochran said "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine...He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."
obamamamablog: how do you know all this
Reynoldswrite: I read. Go here: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/01/27/famed_mccain_temper_is_tamed/ or just use Google and put in the word “McCain” along with any of the senators mentioned above, or “McCain temper”
obamamamablog: couldn’t you do the same thing with Obama?
reynoldswrite: nope. Because Obama’s not a hothead. McCain’s hometown newspaper said his temper is volcanic.
reynoldswrite: Senator Bob Smith said: “I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues . . . He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that."
reynoldswrite: Oh, here’s a cute one—from college conservatives—go here: http://blog.case.edu/conservativemovement/2008/01/29/john_mccains_top_ten_temper_explosions
obamamamablog: well, even Moses broke the ten commandments and Jesus drove the moneychangers from the temple
reynoldswrite: if you want to talk money changers, mccain’s son just resigned from a bank that federal regulators are seizing.
obamamamablog: lordy mercy, I wish this politics was over. I can’t hardly stand it when people like you make fun of a good man like john mccain.
reynoldswrite: maybe your Sunday school class should talk about what mccain called his wife.
obamamamablog: what?
reynoldswrite: go here: http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/02/194648.php
reynoldswrite: so maybe you could bring up some of these things in your adult ladies Sunday school class this week?
obamamamablog: all very interesting, but we don’t care about all that. Obama’s the one that scares us
