Can someone help me?
I must have gotten lost in cyberspace.
I thought I had typed in the correct website for finding people who were pro-Obama.
I must have made a mistake.

I have struggled with homosexuality my entire adult life.
I have never been attracted to another man. But I have struggled with my views toward those who are; or toward women who are attracted to other women.
But I wish this could be a real discussion. Because as much as I hear the loud yelling, see the angry faces, and read all the upper-case writing from those who tell me that it's a shut-and-closed case of an infringement upon basic civil rights...I don't get any closer for all the screaming.
Can I tell you what goes through my mind in one day working on this issue?

I wondered out loud to my wife this evening if I should even waste my time. But part of the reason I decided to "diary" on DAILY KOS was for this exact reason...I needed a place to write down my thoughts and feelings. I chose to do it here because I felt a moving in my heart and soul that was awakening to the radical idea that I could be a Christian man, and a Democrat as well.
But I have been progressively disappointed by the tone and tenure of many who have diaried about our current president.
Would you make the huge jump?

What did you win recently?
You have won a hard-fought battle for the the right and opportunity to lead America's agenda for the next 4 years.
But what I have been reading on this site recently has left me wondering what exactly this community thinks it has accomplished?
Do you want the opportunity to lead for more than 4 more years, or will just the next 4 be okay for you?
Let me explain...

Do I believe that my nation was built and founded on principles that were intended to be consistent with Holy Scripture? I absolutely do. Do I believe that we are a great nation, at least in part, because we have cared about those moral imperatives? I really do. Do I believe that my vote should not just be a pragmatic one, but a spiritual one as well? I do. Do I believe that in weighing my vote, I should try to find the candidate that most reflects the nature of God that I find in scripture?
I certainly do.
And that's why I am voting for Barack Obama.

I have often wondered why the last 50 years has produced so few Democratic Presidents, especially considering that they seem to fare well and make the world a better place when they are in office.
In survey of ten US presidents, Bush fares badly (Reuters, 2005) - President George W. Bush ranks as the least popular and most bellicose of the last ten U.S. presidents, according to a new survey. Only nine percent of the 662 people polled picked Bush as their favorite among the last 10 presidents. John F. Kennedy topped that part of the survey, with 26 percent, closely followed by Bill Clinton (25 percent) and Ronald Reagan (23 percent).
These are some things I'm pondering in my heart (and I am a Republican), and maybe you can glean some nuggets of truth if you want to make the jump

I only say "you" because I am not a registered Democrat....I am a Republican.
But this is how Barack will lose...

And how will Hillary and the Democratic Party respond to these words?

I have spent a lot of time wondering how Hillary can heal the rift she helped create within the Democratic Party, and I daresay, to a larger extent, in all of our hearts who care about the power of words.
She has lost this race with Barack for so many reasons, and when she has had the time to think about it... after she heals a bit, she may realize that none of them have been unfair.
The better man won.
Anyone who has played athletics at a high level know that this mindset is the only one that truly helps the healing process.

And so what can Hillary say to bring back most of her supporters, and help them heal?

Well, I'm not a political writer, but I did take time writing a speech I think she can give, and should give.
If the words aren't the same, the message certainly should be.

It seems to me, as a Republican, but as an Obama supporter, that John McCain has a small but reasonable chance to win the presidency from Barack Obama this Fall.
Much has been written on this site about his (Barack's) need to have more surrogates speaking for him and helping to shape the MSM's talking points and paradigms. I agree with this wholeheartedly, and have tried to speak into this as a Republican who has watched many elections won by our (Republican's) ability to shape the message.

But just as importantly as shaping the message and being on the offensive, is the ability to manuever away from a populist message, which plays well to a Democratic base, but can't carry over effectively enough to independents and Republicans to win a general election.

This is why:

Because you (Progressives) don't know how to fight.
Because this site, for all it's bloviating about being tough and honest and wanting a candidate to speak the truth, is unwilling to do so for yourself or your candidate.
Barack Obama will lose because (as usual) the Republicans will control the general MSM talking points.

You can change that...but you must attack these lies now...with strength, before it's too late...if it's not already.

A few days ago I was angry. I was angry at the media, and about everything I was hearing from the Talking Heads on almost ALL the news channels. I wasn't hearing anything different from MSNBC. I wasn't hearing anything different from CNN. I certainly wasn't hearing anything different from FoxNews.

This is what I was hearing over and over, and said in different ways:

Barack Obama has a problem with "White Working-Class Americans"

The general consensus was (and still is) that he needed to do something about this issue.

Let me tell you what he needs to do:

I have been a life-long Republican, and so I am not suppose to say what I am about to say on this site.
If my Dad (who is Southern) would ever read this post he would be furious, but it needs to be said about the primary victory that Hillary Clinton will obtain in the great state of West Virginia today.

Hillary has mentioned that some of Barack's victories don't count because he won in caucus states where people are high-brow and out-of-touch. He has won in states where the population is too educated and look down on the common working class. He has won in states where the vast majority of voters have been party activists with cushy jobs where they can afford to miss work and caucus while drinking wine and tasting cheese.

Well, this is what Hillary's victory will mean today:
