Stalked by Obama volunteers

We keep hearing about all the energized volunteers. But here in Democratic-heavy Leon County, Buzz wonders if Obama volunteers have enough to do.

This Buzzer has been solicited four times over the past few weeks including: two phone calls on the work cell phone (robo-caller and phone banker); one solicitation to register to vote in the toy section of Target; one knock on the door from Obama supporter seeking Independent and No Party Affiliation voters.

Can you beat the toy section of Target? Share your solicitation stories.

I've had 6 phone calls from the John McCain people... Please take me off the list!

[Dawn of the Democrats]

Get ready for a real-life nightmare...

OH-BAH-MAH...OH-BAH-MAH...OH-BAH-MAH...

Gallup Daily: Obama’s Lead Over McCain Expands to 11

Nice debate "win" for McCain.

Instead of calling Obama, THAT ONE, and refusing to shake his hand, maybe McCain should have tried and looked like a decent human.

Why is TBT's work cell phone in the voter database?

[Jennifer Liberto is an IDIOT]

Do you know what stalking really is?

Saw Ion Sancho out in front of the New Leaf Market Monday evening personally trying to register voters. He had a big team out there. I wonder if he made the same effort to find voters at the Southwood Publix. Doubt it.

If an Obama supporter came to my door i would throw garbage at him so that he would have to waste time to go home and change his clothes.

[Mike Cook]

I was stalked by a McCain staffer. I got a call two months ago and told them I was undecided. I got three calls after that from the same person. They call now and leave me voicemails. I do not respond. I have decided to support the other side anyway.

[Jason H]

That sounds mature. No wonder why your side is getting blown out.

Jennifer - are you suggesting only people from Leon County post on The Buzz?

Where is Leon County?

1;32 - right next to Lease County

[McFossil/Failin']

Obama: 52%
McCain: 41%

McCain is finished.

Palin is going home for good, very soon.

Jason H-

I know, right? Not responding to McCain staffers' voicemails?

Mike Cook is such a jerk...

[Hanibal Lector the Cannibal Elector]

I kill, then eat with fava beans and Chianti all door knockers. You have been warned.

And yet, Zogby, the only pollster to get 2004 correct, has Obama by 1.7%...essentially a tie.

[Jason]

Zogby? Are you serious?

[Bush/McCain/Keating Against Stalking]

The Bush/McCain/Keating team doesn't have time for undecided voters because even the GOP is realizing that the failed policies of the past eight years must end!

Watch for Bush/McCain/Keating to focus on their base over the next 27 days.

[Jason]

Zogby doesn't even poll the same as they did in 2004, they use an interactive online poll now. Give me a break.

[Stalker]

Hey, does anybody here want to vote for Obama? I guess this makes me a stalker now.

Unfortunately, John McCain's desperate, false attacks continue to increase

Obama for America

I have not returned my AB yet so i get a call a day from both campaigns.

I am still undecided but Barr looks better and better.

1:16 -

New Leaf Market? Didn't they close?

If one of these jerks approached me while i was shopping, i would yell "PERVERT" and have him kicked out of the store, possibly arrested.

Really nothing he could do about it either...

Odds are if they approached you while shopping they would have the permission of the store to do so.

So really, there is nothing you could do about being approached...

"So really, there is nothing you could do about being approached..."

Unless I told management that he was making inappropriate gestures/comments, etc...the burden would be on him to prove that he wasn't since i am the customer and the customer is always right.

They do have store security cameras.

Then I would call the local media and let them know that I was accosted by an Obama supporter in a particular store (i would name names) and let them know what management did or did not do to rectify the situation.

"They do have store security cameras."

Except they don't pick up sound...

And management would say that the person has permission. And with video cameras it would easily be proven that any gestures, etc. were lies.

Nice tactic by the way - lying. So classy.

If an Obama supporter came to my door, i would answer the door while polishing my shotgun, with my large dog standing next to me growling at him...

I bet the look on his face would be priceless...

awsome! i bug everyone everywhere too

"Nice tactic by the way - lying. So classy."

Why not? Obama does it everyday...

Ah, I see, this is not about reality, just fantasy.

mccain cheated on his wife -- we have to do everything we can to stop this liar

[Barack was New Party member. finally the truth comes out.]

Another piece in the puzzle of Barack Obama has been revealed, greatly strengthening the picture of a man groomed by an older generation of radical leftists for insertion into the American political process, trading on good looks, brains, educational pedigree, and the desire of the vast majority of the voting public to right the historical racial wrongs of the land.

The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. It was an attempt to regroup the forces on the left in a new strategy to take power, burrowing from within. The party only lasted until 1998, when its strategy of "fusion" failed to withstand a Supreme Court ruling, but after, but the membership, including Barack Obama, continued to move the Democrats leftward with spectacular success.

Erick Erickson, editor of RedState, explained fusion in a Human Events article:

Fusion is a pretty simple concept. A candidate could run as both a Democrat and a New Party member to signal the candidate was, in fact, a left-leaning candidate, or at least not a center-left DLC type candidate. If the candidate -- let's call him Barack Obama -- received only 500 votes in the Democratic Party against another candidate who received 1000 votes, Obama would clearly not be the nominee. But, if Obama also received 600 votes from the New Party, Obama's New Party votes and Democratic votes would be fused. He would be the Democratic nominee with 1100 votes.

The fusion idea set off a number of third parties, but the New Party was probably the most successful. A March 22, 1998 In These Times article by John Nichols showed just how successful. "After six years, the party has built what is arguably the most sophisticated left-leaning political operation the country has seen since the decline of the Farmer-Labor, Progressive and Non-Partisan League groupings of the early part of the century .... In 1996, it helped Chicago's Danny Davis, a New Party member, win a Democratic congressional primary, thereby assuring his election in the majority-black district .... The threat of losing New Party support, or of the New Party running its own candidates against conservative Democrats, would begin a process of forcing the political process to the left, [Joel] Rogers argued."

Fusion, fortunately for the country, died in 1997. William Rehnquist, writing for a 6-3 Supreme Court, found the concept was not a protected constitutional right. It was two years too late to stop Obama.

J. Brown of Politically Drunk on Power has dug up multiple documentary sources (with hyperlinks) proving that Barack Obama was a member of the New Party, despite alleged attempts to cover up his tracks by scrubbing evidence. He or she deserves tremendous praise for doing this detective work.

Obama's career bears many signs of being helped along by the radical left. At the critical moment when he entered electoral politics, he was part of a movement to take over an established political party and dirct it to the task of building a socialist America.

2:56 and all the other idiots out there do not understand socialism.

we already have socialized programs; Bush II socialized this country at a rate and unprecidented scope.

Obama will reverse this, and restore some balance back to markets and industry.

You can keep on spewing your newsmax/drudge report/fox news BS but no one is buying it. Everytime McCain and that crack-ho Palin bash Obama his polls go up.

So go get some new material and new names -- everything you are selling is old and lame -- like the hunchback presidential candidate -- you are as retarded as a Palin baby.

And true to form hey don't care if the person signing to vote is a citizen or not, of age or not, alive...

The Obama.Ayers.Wright/Rezko team doesn't care.

I would tell mangagement that i would never shop their store again if this happened. I don't want to talk to some punk Obama idiot whilst i am doing my shopping.

And if they tried it in the parking lot, i am busting out the mace big time...

A seemingly nice young fellow, well educated articulate. But also the candidate who represents a party that aided and abetted a lunatic in the wholesale plundering of our economy. A party with a major campaign plank being the right to kill our children, a plank which the candidate heartily endorses.

And clearly store management would have already weighed customer response into their decision when allowing the supporters on site.

And the decided to not allow to clearly overly offended to make their decision for them. I assume because they believe the overly offended would be a very small fraction. I mean, who would be so angry to cause a scene instead of, "No, not interested."?

I had a McCain campaign call for my husband who is a registered Independent, so I asked why they weren't asking for me, a registered Republican. They then asked who both of us were supporting and I said he was supporting Obama and I am voting for Bob Barr. The campaign staffer laughed at me.

[I'm voting Bob Barr too]

Republicans for Bob Barr! Show John McCain that he should've been a REAL leader and voted NO on the bailout.

I would prefer to go where shopping is a pleasure.

Not where some idiot in khakis and Obama T-shirt accosts me in the produce department.

If he wastes 2 seconds of my time, it is 2 seconds too much. My time is precious and i don't want to spend it interacting with morons.

[Angry Black Guy]

Our troops have fought to get a Huessein out of power in Iraq, and the tratior 'Americans' are pushing to get another Hussein in power in America??

What is wrong with this picture, his profession is a Liar/Lawyer!(and yes, he has great job security).

Wake up people he has done nothing but give opening statements like this is a trial.

What has he actually done besides talk? (rhetorical question)
Nada, Nothing, Zip, Zilch!!! On the count of three can we all say "EMPTY SUIT"??!!!

We need a President, not a cheesy public defender.

Republicans for Bob Barr. A tank in every driveway! We'll show them terrorists we mean business. Congressmen and minorities too, if they get outa line.

Wow jennifer you truly ARE a fool. I hope someone sends you a dictionary after reading this because you are obviously confused as to the definition of 'stalker'.

Hey young people, don't you hate old folks like me who've been running the country into the ground and stealing your future? Good new! Now you can vote for me and get revenge! I aim to cut Medicare and Medicaid, take away health insurnace, and steal Social Security and give it over to Wall Street. Hey remember in Nazi Germany? We turned kids against their entire families, got them to rat them out for a pat on the head. Don't see why it can't happen like that right here in the USA!

I'm John McMoney, and I approve this genocide of the poor, middle class, and non-rich old folks.

Both McCain and O'Bama voted in favor of the bailout, so we know which side their bread is buttered on.

Is Bob Barr the one Ron Paul endorsed? Or did Paul endorse the Constitution party candidate?

Anyone have news on how THAT debate is lining up?

O'Bamanauts for Nader!! Time for a real CHANGE.

Ron Paul endorsed the Constitution Party candidate, because Barr did something or said something to piss him off....can't remember what it was though...
