Finally, someone who is telling it like it is and how
it should be told. Lynn, you have been described as
"The Speaker of the House"
The "Telling it Like Is Is" Voice, amongst other praises based on the comments
you recently made in an from an article, “Obama 1, Clinton 0”
by Lainie P. For that reason, the Committee is honouring you with
The Beautiful People Prophetic Voice of Wisdom Image Award
lynn a. (friend)
flowertree.gather.com
For those of you who didn't catch Lynn's comments,
here they are again, and thank you Lynn!:
Quote of the month from “Obama 1, Clinton 0” by Lainie P., by Lynn A:
"My hope would be that any president hits the floor running opening diplomatic talks. The intensity can be built, but the door needs to be open. I'm sick of the mentality that asserts we're the biggest and the baddest. We are not. The war in Iraq has proven we can't win a war. Katrina has proven we can't take care of our own. What do people think we are so big and bad about. What do we lead in? Crime. We lead in crime. We pick our laws to pieces to the point good sense doesn't come into play. Our children are not protected from pedophiles. We are more concerned with esoteric laws that leave millions vulnerable for the rights of the few. Our thinking is flawed. We don't even stand as a great in protecting our own. We're in Iraq, supposedly saving people, but we're not doing a thing to stop the bloodshed in other countries. We can't even get food into some countries, there we go again, with rights. The rights always seem to go for the bad guys. I have to stop. I can't do this. One- upmanship in politics to me means someone is trying to win a game. I don't like it. Running this country is no game."
[applause from the audience for Lynn A.]

Man oh Man, this computer (or something) is really continuing to act up.
But I shall trudge onward...
Other than that, this is as they say: "Hot to death!"
You get a 10 from me baby girl!
My good friend here on Gather, William Dotani, would agree that I am on America's Most Wanted, probably for distributing chocolate covered ants.
You have put this whole thing together very well and deserve another 30 points. I guess it all adds up to that and more if we review each article.
Still luv ya,

Pamela O. I just need to find you. Thank you, too!
Thank you, Pamela!
You asked for comments so I'm sending them in a personal email. Look for it!
No need to share those comment with the masses. (What do they know? smile)
They are having too much fun applauding and carrying on about Hillary - you are NOT going to vote for HER are you? Have I misread you THAT badly? :o(
I almost want to say I am an Obama girl, but that might be taken the wrong way;
I am in the Barack Obama/John Edwards camp.
I do like Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, too.
Yes I have been connecting -wish I'd connected better with YOU but we'll work on THAT.
Look for my email coming soon.
Oh - and I am a repub based on my recent voting record - the dems have just not had a good candidate - BUT this time I am leaning toward Obama - mama! I am with YOU on this point! He has the most interesting things to say for me so far.
I have no PARTY - I vote for the candidate that captures my attention. PAY ATTENTION! :o)
Thanks again for including me in your work of art. I am going to go work on my email to you now.
By the way happy birthday to yoou as well.
God Bless you always dee-dee
