History in the making

[vicbiker]

I hope that no matter your political affiliation you have been watching or at least following history unfolding at the Democratic Convention. I'm not affiliated with a political party, have never even register to vote, but I do follow what goes on in our country. This is something people my age would never have believe possible just a few short years ago. We should all feel very American at this time in history, for this is what our country stands for. A country where anyone can grow up to be president.

They let a guy from Austria become Govener of California. At least Obama is an American. We need an American in the white house. This ------- that has been in office for 8 MISERABLE years has slowly disassembled our strenghth. Finacially, Emotionally,and Physically.
I hope Obama wins!!!!! But, Just like the CHAD problem we had, I think the Powers That Be are going to stick Mc Cain in office.

Politics and religion . . . the two hot topics of BBS that start out innocently and never end well. Also the two topics where folks usually are quite polarized in their views -- and no matter how much they try to argue their position inevitably folks who don't share their opinion are rarely if ever swayed to their point of view.

However, I don't think Vic's thread is meant to be political in the sense of being political . . . rather it seems as though he is just commenting that like him or hate him . . . Obama has made history and we are living in a historical moment (although come to think of it . . . we're always living in a historical moment ).

Now that I've stated that, let me tell you why you should vote for my candidate . . . and then I'll tell you why you should convert to my religion of choice.

I fully agree. This is a historic moment. But once someone starts advocating for a particular candidate, it goes beyond historic and becomes political.

Sorry To VicBicker , I read into it wrong.

We've had A African American run for a political Party before, and a woman, and a Porn Star, A Comedian and a Talk show host. Heck ANYONE can run for a political Party.
Historic that he's nominated. Not surprising, expected.
The real History maker is if he's Elected!!!!!!

Bruce , I was so carefully trying to word this thread, so that it would not be about politics, but rather the change in America since we were kids. I don't know much, but do know not to start a thread about politics. FFJ has a command of the English language that being a hick from the sticks I lack. So from now on please address any comments to me to my newly appointed press secretary. He knows more about what I'm trying to say then I do.

Hillary and Barack are making history that's all I'm trying to say.

I think WRW was referring to me because I stated my opinion. AGAIN!!!
I appoligized to you for misinterpreting your post.
You did nothing wrong!!!!
I think FFJ should be nominated for the GCM.com board. I think the vote is coming soon. Maybe even a NewB. We need some Young Blood on the Board.

A) I don't think there are any nominations coming up.

B) I wouldn't be interested in serving on any Boards even if there was . . . I'm a follower and instigator . . . rather than being a leader
