KD in CA Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 He's officially obtained Molson status in my book. This thread is a classic! He's getting close. I'm still waiting for an explanation of "working families". My wife and I both have jobs. Does that make us a "working family"? If so, I'd like to know how exactly Obama is going to help me.

According to Obama, once you're officially 'rich' you're no longer qualified as a 'working family' and can expect no miracles from him. In fact, you're going to be the source of the 'miracles'.

If so good for you. If you want clarification on his policies you may want to write his campaign. I look for candidates that represent the middle-class or the blue-collar working family. In general, Labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 IT, makes sense to me. I love IT people. I was at least expecting an attack on me for something like: 'not having a political background'. Instead, we get this gem, where pBills has single-handedly managed to judge anyone who works in IT after spending the first half of this thread complaining and whining about being judged.

pBills Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Pretty easy to understand you do not have a political background. Plus 99% of the IT people I know have some sort of mental issue. Whoops, I must be stooping down to the level of this board by judging you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not interested in his campaign, I'm asking you. I am not a "working family"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Are you officially "rich"? If so good for you. If you want clarification on his policies you may want to write his campaign.

Before you said you were for people who were for labor, by which I assume you mean organized and non-organized laborers--a big umbrella. Are you including the non-labor middle class in the people you support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Pretty easy to understand you do not have a political background. Here's the real attack I was expecting, from the very person whining about people not knowing him. Guess what? You - again - don't have a clue. I've worked on plenty of campaigns, have a poly sci degree, and worked on projects developing campaign strategies with paid strategists from presidential campaigns.

I've worked on plenty of campaigns, have a poly sci degree, and worked on projects developing campaign strategies with paid strategists from presidential campaigns. I am VERY impressed. Do you develop the strategies or just make them work using the IT skills? Hope that did come across as nasty - just curious what your position was? Writer, Account Executive, Director, online strategies, etc., etc.?? Let me guess republican side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can cover a range of jobs from manufacturing, mechanical work and repair to law enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a few things (demographics targeting, direct-mail advertising, some software scripting) Let me guess republican side? Both, actually, but the 'larger' race was on the Republican side.

Chilly Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Now that I've played your distractions game, and allowed you to attempt to thoroughly attack me instead of focusing on the real issues (catch the irony?), how about explaining in a logical fashion why voting for a 3rd party is not the first step to shaking up the two major parties.

I believe Obama's classification of "rich" is households that make $250K+ If you make over that, congrats. The manufacturing environment like others obviously have both white collar and blue collar workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
