After watching all those McCain/Palin rallies. It shows one hell of a contrast.
Striking.

17. Thank you VERY MUCH!

That was MUSIC to my ears!

[YOY]

2. So...positive.

No hate. The Navy Vet was upset...but more saddened than angry with McCain.

Never a doubt that we are on the right side of history.

3. REALITY CHECK AT 1:50 THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN NAILS IT!!!!!!!

You must get involved locally if you want real change. An Obama victory on Nov.4th is THE BEGINNING, NOT THE END, of our chance to change this country. As Barack himself has so eloquently said " WE ARE THE CHANGE WE SEEK" ( this may be a Ghandi quote?)

10. so true - that was powerful!

And the veteran - he knows they have been brushed under the rug by repubs.

5. There's the difference

Rational vs Irrational
Confidence vs Fear
Compassion vs Selfishness

6. These folks speak about the ISSUES, not their fear & prejudices

14. The Veteran.

Knows what time it is.

Just like my friend - Marine Reserve 3rd Battallion, Brookpark, Ohio. They lost 21 men in a period of 72 hours. The horror stories he told me were something no living human should have to experience in their lifetimes. While there and coming back, he sees the effects of politicians like McCain, who claim the vets as his own while voting down most programs that would have helped them. The lack of body armor, a game plan, support, shoddy medical facilities, etc. He didn't re-up and is pro-Obama all the way.

Don't mess with the vets. Like the blue-collar workers, they work the hardest and get screwed the most.

15. Such beautiful caring people.

Did my heart good to hear them.
