As an Obama supporter, I've just about had it..


Greg Purcell
If I don't hear "LIPSTICK ON A PIG" at least 10 times in EVERY Obama stump speech until election day, I'm going to vote for Bob Barr.


I have had it with backing losing candidates who refuse to fight for their own political dignity, while all the time assuring me that they are going to fight for America.

This is the Michael Dukakis debacle all over again.
So far in this election, Barack Obama has abandoned some of his most effective stump speech lines after Rick Davis and gang neutered him with petty attacks. They are trying it again and if history is any measure, they are going to get away with it. This "Lipstick on a pig" thing has gone too far.

I don't know if any of the campaign staff at Obama for President READ this blog, or if any of you KNOW any of those people, but the correct way to put an end to this once and for all is for EVERY line in EVERY speech to include the phrase "LIPSTICK ON A PIG"

This should be the main issue until election day! Make it into the ANTHEM for absurdity! Have Obama supporters waving stuffed PIGS at his gatherings!

Obama's stump speech should go like this:

John Mccain calls ME for talking about "Lipstick on a pig?" It's a line HE's used again and again talking about Hillarys health care plan which he OPPOSES. John Mccain wants to give you a $5000 tax credit to buy health insurance that could cost you $14000! Is that CHANGE? NO. "IT'S LIPSTICK ON A PIG"!

John McCain is making this claim because HE doesn't want to talk about the ECONOMY! The fact that many people can't AFFORD lipstick, let alone a pork dinner! OH and while we're talking about pork: Sarah Palin KEPT the money for that "bridge to nowhere" that she keeps claiming she killed! So she said "no thanks" to the BRIDGE, but "I'll KEEP THE MONEY!" IS THIS CHANGE??? no this is (audience yells) LIPSTICK ON A PIG!!!" ..but since he brought it up lets talk about his and George Bush's foreign policy!..
(you get the picture)

And while you are at it, Barack--if someone forwards this to you since I don't have a direct email--your MOST EFFECTIVE LINE EVER was:

"they'll try to scare you saying I'm Muslim, I have a funny name..did I mention he's BLACK".

That needs to be back in every speech as well. Fox News spent the DAY yesterday saying that "nobody here ever said Obama was a Muslim!"

I can't believe that white politicians from the party of David Duke called a black man a "racist" and he BACKED DOWN!!!

You are meeting with Bill Clinton tomorrow. Maybe HE will read this first and agree that's what HE would do in this case. It's time to bloody the nose of the leader of this rowdy crowd of redneck-bullies who have been pushing your campaign in the direction THEY want it to go for TOO LONG!

Oh, and by the way..the thing about "voting for Bob Barr" was just to get your attention.... MAYBE
