Why Sam, from the little I know of you from this arena, I hardly took you for lazy and obtuse. You always have so much to say about everything, I figured you were used to doing the hard work of digging up research to back your claims. ;)
Fine, I'll help you out just this one time. If you want TV-friendly sound bites, here they are (you said you wanted details about his plans, but if, even when provided with those details, you refuse to read them -- well, I'm sure you know the old saw about horses and water, and are familiar with the fear position of the ostrich. But perhaps someone else reading will find some benefit in these resources): Barack's Position on Civil Rights (in easy-to-digest bullet point format): http://www.barackobama.com/issues/civilrights/ Barack's Plan for the Economy (in easy-to-digest bullet point format): http://www.barackobama.com/issues/economy/ Barack's Plan for Improving Education (in easy-to-digest bullet point format): http://www.barackobama.com/issues/education/ Barack's Plan for Ending the War in Iraq (in easy-to-digest bullet point format): http://www.barackobama.com/issues/iraq/ Barack's Ideas on Foreign Policy (in easy-to-digest bullet point format): http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreignpolicy/ Barack's Plan for Homeland Security (in easy-to-digest bullet point format): http://www.barackobama.com/issues/homeland/ Barack's Plan for Restoring Fiscal Discipline (in easy-to-digest bullet point format): http://www.barackobama.com/issues/fiscal/ There are countless others, but this should give you something to chew on, I'm sure. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 12:40 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Obama Rally in KC: I was there On Jan 30, 2008 9:54 AM, Shawna Hampton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 1.

Read the book. Rudy Change decades of NYC political corruption Change decades of NYC mob corruption Cleaned up the city making it a safe and popular city which made tourism boom again Lowered corporate and sales tax so people didn't need to shop in NJ to save money and encouraged more businesses to set up shop. I'm looking for quick positive bullet points instead of "read the book." I'm a registered Republican so I'm not going to waste my time researching someone from the other side that might not even make it. After the primaries I will. > 3. Take a look at his voting record: http://obama.senate.gov/votes/ It would take weeks to look them all up. I read someplace he always votes present?

My bad, I thought you wanted to debate.
