Move Over Obama . . .

Surprised? You really shouldn't be. Politicians change their minds at the drop of a hat. They say this, they do that. They promise everything......they do nothing.
So yes, folks, as a voter I've had a change of heart. For the moment anyway unless things change in a major way. This is my reason why and here's the email I sent off to Obama last evening.......
Dear Senator Obama,
I have been rooting for you long before you even officially announced that you were running. I had an icon on my blog that said, Run Obama Run.
I have donated to your campaign three times and I have spoken highly of you many times on my blog. Not to mention all the times I've supported you verbally in public.
But I'm afraid that's all coming to an end. Why, you ask?
Because I'm a resident of Florida and apparently as a voter in this state I am invisible! I was shocked and appalled when I learned that you wouldn't be campaigning here for the primary.
Because Florida had the audacity to push our primary date to Jan. 29, all of us are being punished. Our votes will be useless since no delegate will be at the convention representing our votes.
I'm extremely disappointed in you. The once-high-hopes that I had for your win have vanished. And yes, I'm angry. Angry that you've allowed the Demo cratic National Committee, namely Howard Dean,to sway you in not appearing here.
Since I'm so invisible as a voter in your campaign, I'm now switching my vote as a write-in for Kucinich. At least he doesn't so easily cave with the big guys.
Such a shame. I had such high hopes for you.
Sincerely,
An Invisible Florida Democrat Voter (My name and address did appear at the top of this email along with my email address and phone number)
Not sure you were aware of this. That our Democratic vote here in Florida amounts to nothing. I've known for awhile now, but I kept saying, "No, this can't happen!" but it looks like it will and Obama is allowing it. He and Edwards both had their names removed from the Michigan primary ballot. The sample ballot I got in the mail last week still has his name on it, but who knows what that ballot will actually be on Jan. 29 here in Florida. So seems to me he caved to the big guys big time and as I told him, I'm VERY disappointed that the Democratic National Committe is more important to him than US THE PEOPLE.I've been to Kucinich's website and I have to say.....he sure represent's everything "I" believe in. Both my son and my grandson have had their faith in him from the beginning. Well, they can now add Mom and Nana to one of the one's here in Florida doing a write-in and casting her vote for Kucinich. He sure as hell can't do any worse than what we've had the past 8 years......and who knows, he might even do better than Obama and Hillary combined.Ah yes, politics.......ain't it great?See you here next time..........

I also don't really understand why the states are pushing up their primaries when they know this is the consequence. I think they are doing their citizens a disservice.
Who is paying for Dennis Kucinich to recount NH when he doesn't have a chance of winning ? He IS ! Why ? To get the truth!
You may not agree with everything Dennis Kucinich says, but you should at least be allowed to hear him ! Vote YOUR mind!!!ABC{Disney} & NBC{G.E.(who both my grandparents worked for)} I will NEVER support in any way again after being Anti-American and barring Dennis from the debates.Why watch the debates when the only 3 "they" let you see, all agree ?
You have done an excellent joy of clarifying for me what is happening in the Democratic Primaries.
I am going to take time to read the website for Dennis Kucinich.
BRAVO to you for putting it all out there, my dear...I really feel I don't know my country anymore. Maybe I never did!
Imagine if even just half the people who like him voted for him? It would be 25% for each of the four and hes the only one saying what needs to be done,and what most voters want.
Any way you can write a letter to your local editor to make them aware your not voting who they tell you is "electable"
Say NO to pollsters !
YOU HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! I am happy now, i was beginning to think you had lost it LOL. NOW YOU ARE COOL!!!! lol
