Reminder, please vote for Adam lambert toght and vote for talent over hate! The fundies are massing

[saracat]

and doing everything they can to eliminate him. Adam and his family are solid liberals who have supported all our causes. Now is the time to pay this forward and show Adam some support. this is not about American Idol but the message of hate and bigotry that is being sent by this vountry. Please vote and show we value talent over hate!
And BTW, Don't just vote once but hit redial and vote as many times as you can! It actually makes you feel good! Take a stand!

[Irishonly]

1. I am voting for Adam

I have never watched American Idol and I probably won't tonight but I will vote for Adam as many times as I can. RW Christian jerks.:puke:

[KGodel]

2. Who?

Who cares?

[saracat]

3. Anyone who values talent over bigotry and hate should care.

Unless of course they support the message of folks like Ms.California!

[KGodel]

4. Golly

[paulsby]

78. screw that

i am not going to punish the artist (gokey) because some of his supporters are jerks.

PERIOD.

fwiw, i like adam best of all, but gokey is in 2nd for me. been that way for about 6 weeks.

i'll continue to vote for gokey AND lambert until it comes down to the gokey/lambert final.

then, i vote for lambert only.

of course if it comes down to a chris/lambert final, then i'll still vote for lambert.

but i hope it's gokey and lambert

[elocs]

5. Troll Alert!

[KGodel]

9. jerk

Who the hell cares about American Idol? You? Certainly not previous posters who support but "will not watch"

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. its not about american idol. to a degree its about fighting the right wing

and being able to do so for even simple and stupid things

[Kahuna]

38. The people pissing on this thread are the same ones who will

vote on any poll that is posted. I suspect that we have some closet Gokey fans on this thread. If I were a Gokey fan, I'd be in the closet too.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

74. hahahaha -- Lostinva just said,"Isn't THAT the truth!"

[elocs]

39. Ignore

[KGodel]

43. Qiffley!!!

Vote for Qiffley!!! If you don't you;re a bigot.A fuckin' bigot. Damn you.

[emulatorloo]

6. Allison is my favorite, but I will do some serious Adam voting tonight too.

I did not know about this fundie campaign.

[Kahuna]

12. I vote every week for Adam AND Allison. I love them both. Alli was

amazing last week. Bless her little heart. :loveya:

[blm]

64. same here

.

[dbonds]

7. I have been voting for Adam all along.

This guy is amazing. The most talented contestant ever on the show, and has the charisma of Elvis, but a rocker. Oh and he is gay, so all the fundies are trying to get everyone to vote against him just because he is gay(they want Danny). If you like rock music, give idol a shot tonight. You will be pleasantly surprised. If you want to counter fundies hate of gay people, vote for Adam and vote a lot.

[Lyric]

8. Can someone post the voting number?

I don't have cable, but I'd like to help out. I've heard him on YouTube--he's amazing.

[dbonds]

10. They only announce the number during the show so you will have to wait till then.

Also you can only vote for 2 hours after the show in your time zone. What is your time zone, not sure if the numbers are different for west coast or east coast broadcasts.

[Lyric]

23. I'm Eastern Time Zone

:)

[Kahuna]

29. So am I. Be here at 9pm for the numbers.

:)

[Kahuna]

11. Check this thread tonight after the show ends at 9pm. The numbers

are different every week. I'm glad that Adam is finally getting some DU love. I've been voting for him every week. Beside the fact that he is a phenominal talent, I think it would be great for an open gay to be the American Idol. The OP is correct. The fundies are amassing a campaign against him.

[jonnyblitz]

46. thank you. i will vote if you post the number. I am not near a tv

at the moment. I would vote for him because I like his version of "Mad World" even if i haven't heard his performance for tonight. :P I have never voted on AI or paid attention to this show before to be honest.

[Left Is Write]

73. I've been a member of the Adam fan club since auditions.

He's in a whole different league from the other contestants.

[kstewart33]

13. You bet. Here's one straight

who's voting time and again tonight for Adam. My hubby and two girls, too. We're all prepped to punch those cell phone buttons!

[Kahuna]

14. Another straight who would love to see Adam go all the way!!

:fistbump:

[grasswire]

15. why don't you just let it be a singing competition?

Instead of turning it into a culture war?

[dbonds]

16. The fundies are the one amassing against a gay idol.

A gay idol that is by far the best contestant, By an order of magnitude or more.

We didn't start this fire.

[grasswire]

26. can you understand that a lot of people....

...honestly may not feel that Adam is the best singer, or like his style the best in the competition? Don't be blind to that probability. It's possible to not like Adam best and still support LBGT concerns.

[dbonds]

27. I didn't say you didn't support LBGT concerns.

What I did say is when one of ours comes under fire, we stand up for him. I do happen to feel he is the best, but I understand if you don't (well I understand that is possible, hard to understand why ;P ) I feel he does deserve the title but the fundies want to keep it from him just because he is gay.

[Kahuna]

17. Have it your way. Vote for Adam because he's the best singer in the

competition. Happy now? Sheesh. :eyes:

[grasswire]

25. well, I don't vote in AI -- I think that's for teenagers

But if I did, I would not vote for Adam after last week's performance. I thought it was cheesy and tasteless. Until last week, I considered him the front runner. He jumped the shark, IMO.

I think the voting wars are juvenile. I understand the sentiments of those who feel ganged up on when one of theirs is allegedly a target. But honestly there's not much that can be done in this instance, at this late date.

[Kahuna]

30. If you were all that superior you wouldn't be watching it at all since

it's for "teenagers" as you say. So spare us all your faux superiority.

[grasswire]

31. lighten up

It's just a singing competition. One doesn't have to vote to enjoy the singing or the players. The juvenile aspect is the hysteria.

Just a singing competition. Breathe.

[Kahuna]

34. You breathe. I don't even know why you bothered to join this thread..

Just to piss on it, it appears.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. are you gay? is gay a culture? why should the rightwing be able to boot off someone

because of their sexual orietnation? do you think that its fair?

[emulatorloo]

20. Well, he can sing. Technically one of the 2 or 3 best singers on the show

He has a heck of a voice - a pretty amazing instrument. ( His style is not to my taste, but he has a really exceptional talent) No doubt he will have a big career no matter what happens.

But if would be a shame if the fundies voted him out.

[SacredCow]

21. Fundies have already turned it into a war against homosexuality...

And you're going to sit in judgement against the GLBT set for responding in kind?

Nice. :eyes:

[stray cat]

22. Everyone vote for who you like if you feel like voting- even if its a repub!

after all its a singing competition!

[Thickasabrick]

37. Fine, but if you don't care you should vote for Adam to fight off the

RW bigots.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. Is Adam gay? I didn't know that. I'm not a fan of his histrionics, but I do like his style!

[Kahuna]

28. Yes he is. He is open gay, though he doesn't discuss it during this

competition. But it's an open secret as there are pictures of him on the web kissing his S.O. and in drag. There's also a video where he states his preference is same sex.

[grasswire]

32. Has Adam asked for help from the GLBT community? (eom)

[Kahuna]

35. Just go away. You don't care about Adam. You've already insulted

his supporters on this thread. So, just piss off, will ya? Sheesh.

[Thickasabrick]

36. Of course not, this is about fighting the right wing freaks trying to sabotage

him because he's not the right "image". Fuck those people, I would want him to win now even if he couldn't sing.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

41. I think it's wonderful. I hope he wins. I see AI as a right wing outfit, anyway

They always want a winner who's wholesome like Carrie Underwood. :puke:

Now, they'll have two gay stars: Clay Aiken and Adam. Good job! ;)

[keepCAblue]

59. self delete...

[Thickasabrick]

33. Thanks for reminding me about this and please post the numbers - I don't

have TV anymore.

[paulsby]

40. i will vote for the best

in the past it has been lambert.

i have also voted for gokey and will do so if his performance is good as well.

i am NOT going to punish a performer because some of his SUPPORTERS are dickheads.

do i hope lambert wins? yes. why? because (so far) he's the best.

[bullwinkle428]

56. So do you think Gokey's performance last night was vote-worthy?

[paulsby]

69. yes

i voted for gokey and lambert last night.

i thought chris was ok. kind of reminds me of rob thomas. allison didn't do a lot for me.

[paulsby]

75. gokey lambert and chris make it through

w00hoo.

i had hoped it was going to be allison

i really DO like her, but she was my least favorite.

[Kahuna]

76. I'm in mourning. I love Allison. She's fearless.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[paulsby]

77. at this point, i liked everybody so much

that it's a matter of which i like least.

i really did like her. heck, i liked meghan a lot too.

i'd like to see the final two come down to lambert and gokey, and lambert to win it.

i've been hoping for that for about a month now.

[Kahuna]

79. I liked Megan too. I liked her pluck! I almost hope that Adam gets

voted off next week so that he can have a more successful career like Daughtry. David Cook's album should have done better. But of course he's been burdened with 19E Management, which means he didn't have full creative control.

Still I'll be manning two phones next week for Adam instead of one for Adam and one for <sniff> ALLISON!!!!! :cry:

[tbyg52]

42. Thank you for the timely reminder. I will do so. nt

[bigwillq]

44. Watching now.

Will text for Adam. I don't call in to these shows, but I don't mind texting.

[keepCAblue]

45. Hate AI but for Adam, we'll tune in and vote, vote, vote! n/t

[keepCAblue]

47. Vote for the Worst is telling everyone to vote for Danny Gokey...

votefortheworst.com is unwittingly aligning itself with the Xtian freaks in voting for Gokey...this will not be good for Adam's chance of surviving the next cut...

[Kahuna]

48. Holy Cow! Did ya'll see the Adam and Allison duet???

I've been waiting all season to see those two together! They killed it! :applause:

[Thickasabrick]

50. They were great. I hope they work together in the future.

[saracat]

51. One of the Fundie groups posted that they had 138 people at a community room calling in and

had cast 137, 000 votes for Gokey and they have these groups all over the nation! gag! And Gokey was awful tonight!

[dbonds]

52. I find their numbers a bit hard to believe.

That is around a 1000 calls per person. That means 8.33 calls per person per minute. It takes longer than that to dial, and connect, not to mention the busies. I think the fundies are lying a bit.

[saracat]

53. Actually, it is possible. I called 750 from a regular phone and

had some phone problems and started late. last week I dialed 860 using one phone. many of these folks use twom phones at once. I am not coordinated enough to do that!

[Left Is Write]

72. It can be done, easily.

All I had to do was hit redial. I could do way more than 8 calls a minute.

[keepCAblue]

62. I tried calling both Adam's tel #'s for two hours and couldn't get thru, not even once!

Adam's lines were busy the entire two hours.

[Kahuna]

49. Adams numbers are 866-436-5701 and 866-436-5705..The text numbers

are 5701 and 5705.

[motely36]

55. Can you explain how I text

I never voted (or watched) for an idol, but will vote for Adam

[blm]

54. sara, do you know Adam's family?

.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

57. he is family. nt

[blm]

58. in one sense, yes, he is family to many..... just curious if sara knows the Lamberts.

.

[FreeState]

66. My co-worker knows them

and yes they are very nice liberal people.

FYI - I think the family comment is going over your head. I may be mistaken though. "Family" an is old school way of identifying as GLBT.

[blm]

67. no, I got that.....I was just wondering if/how sara knows Adam's family.

I knew a TJ Lambert some years ago - he worked at Casablanca records when it was the hottest label going back in the late 70s.

[keepCAblue]

60. Dial Idol . com predicts Adam will be safe...by a wide margin...

http://www.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/predictions.asp

So if Adam ends up in the bottom two or is eliminated, then you know something is very fishy about the voting...

[Left Is Write]

71. I think last week brought out his fans in droves last night.

I voted on both phone lines from my two phones (cell and home), and I voted by text also.

I love Adam, I think he deserves to win - and he WANTS to win. I hope his fans can give that win to him.

[FreeState]

61. If you use twitter or not you can see what Gokeys paster is saying here

http://twitter.com/pastorjpruitt

[Kahuna]

63. He tweeted that Danny's safe tonight. WTF??? How would he know that?

"Just got done doing an interview with the AP about Danny! They've been good people to interview with! Good questions! Danny's safe tonight!"

[FreeState]

65. I think hes guessing...

that or Jesus told him. Unfortunately I think Kris is going tonight - Im going to miss my eye candy:) I so wish Gokey was going home... but I guess we all will have to wait and see tonight.

[emulatorloo]

68. Adam's "Whole Lotta Love" was truly amazing, and the Adam/Allison duet is the best thing I have ever

seen on Idol.

I would love to see those two in the finals.

[Kahuna]

70. Yep. That duet was da bomb! Also the best thing I've ever seen on

Idol, taking over the top spot of Constantine's, BoRhap.

[emulatorloo]

80. Allison, I am going to miss you!

Make an album real soon now.
