http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/blog_rss/andylewis I comment on whatever catches my interest on a given day. I had a conversation with a representative of the Obama campaign a few minutes ago which left me horrified. I asked why the Obama campaign wasn't fighting back in the face of all these despicible lies McCain was telling. I told her I thought that Obama was throwing this thing away. I was told that "we don't believe in fighting." I was told that "that's not the kind of change we believe in." I hung up the phone feeling like I had just spoken with a couple of people who were disconnected from reality, and who had no idea what they were up against. I felt as if these people are in a bubble, surrounded by positive vibes, and that they have no clue about the fact that they're in a street fight. I'm very afraid that if this attitude pervades the campaing, that Obama doesn't have a chance. Just wanted to share that with you. http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/Cq44 http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/Cq44/commentary#comments Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:05:48 EDT http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/Cq44 Andy Lewis http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/profile_picture/f1f3dc07f085ce5e0b_axm6ibfzb.jpg Andy Lewis 3 http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/comment_rss/Cq44/ My friend has tickets to see the taping of Washington Week this week in Denver, and asked me to suggest questions for her to ask Ms. Ifill. I've got a few, but if anybody can post any better ones here, we'd appreciate the suggestions.

I've been getting "Push Poll" calls from a place called "Datapolres" on my caller ID, showing this number, 7033788323, which when dialed, is met with a message saying, "this number has been disconnected." Here's a site about this number: http://whocalled.us/lookup/7033788323 Upon answering the call, a series of leading questions are asked, starting with, "Are you in favor of, or against the government having complete access to your health care records?" They aren't, of course, looking for or recording a response. They are planting a seed, so to speak. The clear implication is that my privacy is being threatened in some way. Gosh- what could be then source of this threat? Let me guess. Health care reform? Further proof that these people are out of control, and need to be neutered like a pit bull. After that, I utter an expletive, and hang up. I haven't heard the rest of the questions. I'll be more patient next time. Anybody else been getting these calls? http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/CqlF http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/CqlF/commentary#comments Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:05:59 EDT http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/CqlF Andy Lewis http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/profile_picture/f1f3dc07f085ce5e0b_axm6ibfzb.jpg Andy Lewis 162 http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/comment_rss/CqlF/ Ft. Worth Star-Telegram reports that Dallas police were ordered by Secret Service to stop screening entering audience members for weapons at Obama rally in Dallas. http://www.star-telegram.com/dallas_news/story/486413.html Republicans wouldn't enable assasination of the most exciting Democrat in a generation, would they? Who gives the Secret Service their orders? Is this more proof that we should let the telecoms off the hook (tongue in cheek)? God save us from these madmen. http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/CqDP http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/CqDP/commentary#comments Fri, 22 Feb 2008 03:48:42 EST http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/CqDP Andy Lewis http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/profile_picture/f1f3dc07f085ce5e0b_axm6ibfzb.jpg Andy Lewis 0 http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/comment_rss/CqDP/ The hypocracy of the administration's rush to implement "economic stimulation" packages is legion. http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/Cqzl http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/Cqzl/commentary#comments Wed, 23 Jan 2008 04:13:31 EST http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/post/andylewis/Cqzl Andy Lewis http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/profile_picture/f1f3dc07f085ce5e0b_axm6ibfzb.jpg Andy Lewis 3 http://www.progressnowcolorado.org/page/community/comment_rss/Cqzl/
