The Nutroots are in a tangle!

They're lost without it...

[Names Ash Housewares]

Nutters.

The internet is a cool organization tool.
It helps some sure. But somehow presidents in the past still got elected without it.

Keeping track of “points” of how much you have done for the Messiah? LOL

Sad people, man, sad crazy people.

But not everyone on MyBO reacted with equanimity. Many, like Lisa Holmes — an Obama precinct captain from Grapevine, Texas, who was ranked 359 — felt their investment in the campaign had been looted overnight. "People say it's not about you, it's about Barack," Holmes said. "But it's not. This is our campaign. We put him where he is. We invested in him."

So Obama's plan of wealth re-distribution is Great, but Obama's plan of re-distributing Obama points away from those who earned the most is highly unfair.....Strange.

She didn't get any extra points for having her lawn burned and "n-lover" scrawled on her mailbox, or for defending Obama through the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy.

You don't get points for self-inflicted wounds.

[KarlInOhio]

But those same people don't think I should be upset when St. Barry wants to take all the "points" I worked hard to get on my paycheck each month.

[PGR88]

What were they expecting in return - a cabinet post?

[JennysCool]

the million folks registered on MyBO

I'm guessing "MyBO" is pretty apt for that crowd.

Dems are famous for changing the rules of a game while the game is still being played. Ask Florida, or Michigan. Check with Bush’s Florida 2000 election attorneys. Ask the deployed servicemen about their votes in the 2004 election. Check with Kerry and his “I voted for before I voted against” rhetoric. Why should this be different? Or, you thought Obama’s “change” was something that would benefit you?

But Hanna, a Berkeley, Calif., woman whose MyBO name is Fire is Born, was infuriated.

"I HAD OVER 4,000 POINTS AND WAS IN 580 PLACE!!!!!" she wrote on her MyBO blog. "GIVE ME MY POINTS BACK!!!! THEY DO NOT BELONG TO YOU!!!!!"

Gee Hanna, imagine how I feel about your candidate wanting to take my very real dollars.

[WayneS]

Some of those people obviously do not have the “collectivist” spirit necessary to be TRUE supporters of “B. Hussein and His Quest for Change”.

...So it is perhaps surprising that the uncrowned queen of MyBO turned out to be Patty...

Cure for MyBO points...

[wideawake]

She didn't get any extra points for having her lawn burned and "n-lover" scrawled on her mailbox

Probably because it never happened.

[stainlessbanner]

[wideawake]

Perfect.

[Redbob]

Aawwwwwwwwww...

[CaliGirl-R]

Wasn’t there a MySpace situation quite awhile back regarding an Obama supporter? If I recall correctly, a supporter created a MySpace for Obama and had accumulated alot of “friends” and the Obama campaign took his MySpace page over. I think the supporter got mad.

So that lady shops at Dollar store so she can “tithe” money to his campaign? Those supporters are too much. I guess if he had any good in him, I could understand the passiion.

"When shopping in local supermarkets, I always make sure that Obama covers are moved to the most visible spot. I reverse backward all anti-Obama covers in sensationalist magazines," she wrote

How typical of the "free speech for me but not for thee" mentality.
