After the break, I've posted a letter sent from Boyd K. Packer (president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) on July 28th to the California LDS (Mormon) stake (diocese) presidents.

I'll note a couple of items that caught my attention before posting the letter without further comment:

Apparently, there is a plan in place to put up one million 'Yes on 8' yard signs at 7:00 am on September 22nd.

This letter makes clear that those walking their precincts on behalf of the 'Yes on 8' campaign are not doing so to persuade their neighbors, but rather to identify potential 'Yes' votes.  As such, the precinct walking is clearly part of a standard get-out-the-vote operation, rather than an attempt to change hearts and minds.

[PAID FOR BY HILLARY CLINTON'S DEBT]

"Kathleen Sebelius must be stopped! We must NEVER have a female VP, unless it's me!! WAHHH!! WAHHH!!! WAHHH!!!

She is a woman. She is not qualified because her name isn't Hillary Clinton, the only qualified woman in the entire world. WAHHH! WAHHH! WAHHH!

The excitement and anticipation is growing every day. Who will Obama pick for VP?

Every name floated out there gets support from some and opposition from others. So, who do YOU want most? Don't say who you THINK Obama will pick. Who do you want among the named frontrunners and legitimate darkhorses?

There was an Undead Rogue near me one day named "Something". It was quite scary looking at the combat log.

Something has killed Murloc.
Something loots Murloc Scale.
Something's Ambush hits you for 700.
You were killed by Something. (or what ever it says)

I suppose "Someone" would work just as well.

I also saw a NE Priest named "Heal" which I thought was pretty fitting.

How is it that we have not found out through some mistake or loud
mouth who the VP is? How has the Obama campaign been able to keep his choice such a surprise? We have had plenty of "controlled leaks" teasing us but we don't seem to be making any progress in discovering "The TWO". Is this the best kept secret by any campaign ever? Is it possible the VP doesn't know at this late date?

Will this forever change the way we introduce VPs? If for example Senator Clinton was chosen a "long" time ago does this show how easy it is to manipulate us through the media and blogs?

Was there ever a shortlist?

How much misinformation have we received since the "VP search"
started? In my opinion the Obama campaign has been masterful in how they have capitalized on the VP pick.

Are you 100% sure you know who he will pick at this late date?

When we receive the text message stating Senator Clinton or someone out of left field "meaning not on the "shortlist" is THE TWO then I think we will realize Senator Obama and his campaign are very different and that the bar has been raised. Checkmate

BTW in our last contest Jerome received 12% thrashing Biden and a host of others. (More pandering from PoliticalSlave).

Thank you as always for recommending. (more pathetic pandering)

I wrote a diary yesterday explaining why Kaine is a deal-breaker and his ardent supporters asked me to prove that he is pro-life.

So here is (thanks to Sam Stein on Huffington Post) saying that he is no different than Bush on abortion.

He also opposes stem-cell research:

And looks like he is homophobic also:

I am sorry, I dont want a Bush-lite as a Democrat VP nominee.

Daschle was a pure, unadulterated disaster as Senate Majority Leader.  Under Daschle, the Dems gradually lost their majority.  Previous majority leaders were men we could all admire.  Daschle was an ineffective wimp, in the eyes of many, Dems as well as Indys and Republicans.  

Whenever I would see Daschle on TV, I would cringe.  He has the wimpiest sounding voice, and has no backbone.  I was ashamed to be represented by someone with his (lack of) stature.  Him and Gephardt were the two most ineffective Democratic leaders in several generations.

So now, when I see Obama's campaign flailing around and losing ground steadily in the polls, and now, when I see no backbone in the campaign, I start to realize that this might be Tom Daschle's wimpiness coming back to destroy our electoral chances once again.

This diary may be shorter than some may like but it needs to be stated. Where is this country headed, and is it headed there in a handbasket? Listen, I'm actually a reformed McCain supporter, but how is this guy seriously doing any of the following: 1). Leading the question of which candidate will keep you safer? 2). Wooing Democrats and women's right's supporters and 3).Scoring 60% favorable ratings. Let's look step by step.

Question 1). We have a candidate who claims to want to keep our troops in Iraq, where even the most ardent supporters state we have most of our resources tied up. So what does a candidate for president do. First, he sings about bombing a sovereign nation for the world to see while running for the highest office in the land. So then less than 6 months later, he responds to a crisis halfway across the world in a matter of hours, as oppossed to waiting for the situation (of no harm to us) to crystalize before shooting his mouth off. This is the guy that is going to keep us safe? Really? Am I missing something? Bellicose is now a peace strategy?

Question 2). Do I really even need to go into what a guy who states he has a 30 year career of opposing women's rights has in store for us? I do, really, I really need to compare Barack and John's plans for women's rights. children's health care to up to 28% of Clinton supporters? I really need to state that for those poor to lower middle class whites in the midwest and south that another 4-8 years of Bush's economic policies is probably not the best idea, g Really, given the current state of affairs? Am I missing something else?

Question 3). A crotchety old man who can't talk issues so he keeps sending out ads comparing his opponent to heiresses and pop stars, who lies in every ad, and who states his opponent only speaks out due to political ambition (says the other dude running for president who as a POW never discusses his POW days, except in every sentence?)

Where is the intelligence in this country? Are people really this content? What am I missing? I even invite the Barack jeering section in here to tell me what's what, please, because I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!
