I don't know why anyone thought (5.00 / 3) (#2)
by nycstray on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 02:20:50 PM EST
that was a good road to travel. I'm mean, I understand we've been classified as low info voters, but lets get real here  ;)

Uniting (5.00 / 2) (#8)
by Stellaaa on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 02:35:50 PM EST
I still cannot take the leap.  If he could not unite the Democratic party and the party is so split, for god's sake, how will he do the other miracle?  Uniting the nation.

Maybe if he actually had run the campaign (5.00 / 7) (#15)
by madamab on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 02:41:53 PM EST
the way he said he was going to, more people would have been happy to vote for him.

Branding the Clintons as racists was pretty unforgivable, IMHO, and it's what really divided the electorate.

I know that is what put me over the edge (5.00 / 1) (#45)

Nearly unforgiveable.  I'll vote for him over McCain, but I could understand if the Clintons do not campaign much for him.

JC Superstar (5.00 / 1) (#17)
by Stellaaa on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 02:43:52 PM EST
MARY MAGDALENE

I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

A Strange Thing Mystifying (5.00 / 1) (#47)
by ruffian on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 04:09:00 PM EST
Sunday I found myself humming some songs from JC Superstar for no apparent reason, then when I started singing the words too, I realized why.  Not to stretch the point too far, but go back and play the whole record if you have it.  Very amusing in light of what is going on today.

I'll just say I agree. (none / 0) (#60)
by Fabian on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 05:19:07 PM EST
And leave it at that.

It's actually held up very well over time.  Sometimes I revisit songs or movies and wonder what I ever saw in them.  JCSuperstar - still good and still sharp.

Really captured the media environment (none / 0) (#77)
by ruffian on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 09:04:44 PM EST
of star making/breaking we are in, even though it was written in 1970 or so.  It has just intensified since then.

I didn't 'get' much of that when I loved it as a jr. high-school kid. Just thought it was an interesting way to look at the story of Jesus - I had a progressive nun music teacher that played it to us at Catholic school. Still have my brown double album.

To Obama (5.00 / 2) (#48)
by ruffian on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 04:12:00 PM EST
I only ask things I'd ask any Superstar
What is it that you have got that's put you where you are
I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man

I was thinking more Davis Mac (5.00 / 1) (#64)
by Kathy on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 05:44:00 PM EST
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better loking each day.
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.

don't know him then.

Nope. (5.00 / 2) (#27)
by nycstray on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 03:07:15 PM EST
They really know how to piss people off, lol!~ Maybe he's trying to up the percentage of Clinton voters that won't vote for him?

Low Information (5.00 / 2) (#24)
by cal1942 on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 02:50:23 PM EST
I get a really big kick out of that one. Given what Obama's backers know of his record and what most of us know of his record I'd say the low information tag's been misplaced.  

I've read so many of those comments by Obama supporters, often accompanied by some line of worship for their Elmer Gantry candidate, that I don't know whether to laugh or throw up my hands in disgust.

I get a kick out of the fact (5.00 / 1) (#29)
by nycstray on Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 03:10:13 PM EST
he can't seem to relate to the Dem base. And doesn't seem to be able to figure it out. Methinks he should have figured it out BEFORE he ran for president.

Smart Guy. Great Judgment.
