As a Disabled VietNam Era War veteran I know firsthand just how poorly vets get treated by Republicans like "Warmonger" McCain. I served in the early 70's under that crooked commander in chief Nixxon and I smell the same putrid stench emanating from the White House that I did back then.

Just two weeks ago I heard a sad news story that a brave young soldier was killed in Afghanistan, during his 7th tour of combat. No real American patriot would ever force our soldiers to endure so many attempts to cheat death.

Anyone who supports "Warmonger" McCain and this repugnant war for oil in Iraq does not support our brave soldiers. McCain only supports enslaving our brave soldiers with the stop loss program and his new plan to keep soldiers from being able to escape their enforced slavery in the military to become free civilians furthering their education.

While "Desperate" Hillary may win the day with about a net gain of a dozen pledged delegates, she'll lose that in the next couple of days as superdelegates keep jumping on the winning Barack Obama bandwagon. By the weekend there'll be no difference in Obama's unassailable lead from yesterday. Despite what she says WVA is no crucial turning point, she's still spinning on the fire pit of defeat and she's almost well done.

On Feb 5th, the Republicans had the first part of their primary election. On the day that McCain essentially wrapped up the nomination, here was the results from West Virginia:

Huckabee: 52%
Romney: 47%
McCain: 1% !!!!!!!!

So by the Clinton "primaries are good indications of the general" metric, if Barack gets 2% today, he'll beat McCain in West Virginia in the general.

So that's the new goal for Obama, set by the Clintons themselves: 2% in West Virginia

...This is why the Clinton logic is illogical.

Why is it that when Senator Clinton made those comments to ABC about hard-working Americans, white Americans, and wrote those off as a poor choice of words it was accepted as such. However, when Senator Obama used "bitter" instead of "angry/frustrated" and "cling" instead of "rely on", Senator Clinton pounced on them and labeled him as an elitist. Senator Obama's poor choice of words no more make him an elitist who looks down on small-town people than Senator Clinton's make her a racist who looks down on African Americans while being condescending to blue collar white people??

And If Obama rolls out four more, he'd have gained more superdelegates in the past week than there are delegates at stake in West Virginia."

Before idiots like Patty,SD post the same old misspelled ignorant trash, Let's make something cristal clear...If you are a Democrat and you are voting for McCain because Clinton did'nt make it then.....

A: You are selfish and put your own hurt little feelings over the good of the entire country.

B: You are a racist.

C: You know nothing about politics and only became interested in this primary because it resembles a soap opera or perhaps a wwe match.

D: You secretly really love the idea of waging meaningless wars, taking away women's rights and our right to privacy, giving rich people more money and denying americans affordable health care.

In conclusion, please feel free to vote for McCain because you are not really a democrat and your little vote will have no impact on the outcome of the general election. You are a ridiculously ignorant baby and deserve to move to the GOP camp. They love sheep like you who react to fear, racism and an insatiable thirst for revenge. Hopefully you live in a state where you have to change parties to vote.

After all this support you've shown her over all this time will you really dishonor her by voting for the repugnant one who will give us just more of the failed policies the Bush/Cheney Tyranny has wrought upon our good country? Will you blow off her suggestions for party unity so "Warmonger" McCain can keep our brave soldiers enslaved by the stop loss program that ensures they have to endure more combat tours? Is this the gratitude you'll show Hillary when she finally comes to grips with political reality?

The Clinton's and her campaign look to me to have a white supremacist edge to it. I am white, so I am not saying this as if it were coming from a non-white person. The Clinton's seem to be full of hatred.
West Virginia I believe is being used by the Clinton's, not to help her win, but to help her pay her debt and to say to America 95% of the voters in West Virginia are white and they voted for her. That goes to show you a black man for President will not be tolerated in this country. The voters in West Virginia should not fall for Clinton's divisive strategy.

Now we hear from her campaign advisors on "Morning Joe" that Obama and the party need to recognize Hillary holds their fate in the fall with her 16 million voters and they better give her what she wants. With that said how many of the hard working white people will vote for her versus McCain. What happens to the 16 million + that voted for Obama if they perceive they were robbed of the nomination based upon backroom politics. Continually bringing up the race issue( call it what you want but she is playing out the Republican parties 1980's Southern strategy)she provides cover for Democratic voters to accept the race as acceptable metric for the election. All Hillary cares about is to win at all cost. Again on "Morning Joe" the 1980 battle through the convention was brought up as a positive( or as threat) to the party. I know of no Democrat who views the 1980 nomination battle as a positive. I am tired of hearing how we must handle Hillary with kid gloves and give her respect. This is not a coronation. She will lose on all metrics and now she is playing the race card. The superdelgates need to aggresively move to Obama's camp after this primary. Because Hillary will play out the same strategy for the remainder of the primaries and cacuses and bring down the party in the fall.

I'm sure we've all had our warm fuzzies over the idea of change and unity, but at the end of the day, it's time to call a spade a spade. Safety and foreign affairs come first, and safety doesn't come from an empty suit, who has lost 2 foreign policy advisors in 3 months.

Walt, Ohio — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:38:41 GMT

This Michigan and Florida problem was not, repeat, was not caused by the Obama campaign. This problem was caused by two distinct causes.
If the democrats lose Florida and Michigan, and therefore lose the general election, the blame will be twofold. First, to the states themselves, because of trying to circumvent the DNC rules by moving their primaries earlier.
The second person to blame, and this is ultimately the most important, is HILLARY CLINTON. Yes that's right. Hillary Clinton.
She knew the rules of the primaries in 2007; she signed off on the rules to not allow the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be seated. She has been clearly documented in print and video media as being opposed to seating the delegates early in the campaign.
Now, she has manipulated the electorate in Florida and Michigan to join her in her own self serving pity party; fraudulently claiming that she "cares" about them; she does not want them "disenfranchised".
What is obvious is that she came to this revelation in her position when her mismanaged flawed campaign fell hopelessly behind in the race. She felt she could effectively capitalize on this democratic wedge issue to serve her own selfish intent. Hillary, by not supporting her earlier signed statements and her word has unjustly and unfairly given life to this issue.
If she were really about the "rights" of the Michigan and Florida delegates, why did she not accept the compromise offered in the Michigan case? Because she obviously does not care about the people of Michigan; only if they can serve her own twisted need for her bankrupt campaign to be salvaged.
So let's get over this "holier than thou" attempt by the Clinton campaign to fight for Michigan and Florida. The Michigan and Florida voters should be too smart to fall for any more of Hillary's self serving machinations. We need to come together to defeat McCain in the fall.

Eric, Salinas, CA --

When talking about warmongering Republicans ... why don't you mention that it was LBJ that started us in Vietnam, not Nixon? In fact, a Democrat President got us into every way in the last 80 years except Gulf War and Iraq War. But maybe that slipped your mind.

So Republicans, Eric, have been responsible for wars claiming about 6,000 American lives, and Democrats have been responsible for wars claiming 650,000. But I guess you're right. REPUBLICANS are the warmongers ...

You're not the only old vet on this blog, and you're sure as hell not speaking for all of us. Serving this country doesn't mean you're free. It makes you property of the United States government. There's a reason they give you a gun when you sign the dotted line. I wasn't drafted by the government. I was drafted by a proud tradition of service, and I don't put a limit on sacrifice. I would assume you don't either. But if you do, we will have to agree to disagree.

And for the record, if we had stayed in Vietnam a half a year longer, there wouldn't have been any killing fields. There wouldn't have been such slaughter on an unmeasureable scale. And I'll tell you right now, if we make the same mistake in Iraq, the killing fields will be reborn. No doubt about it.

When my contact sent me this picture, I was pretty shocked. Yes, that is Rev. Wright, the former pastor of Barack Obama, on the left, shaking Bill Clinton's hand.

And get this:

My contact who sent me these documents is a 'Washington Insider.' She attends and creates a lot of events in D.C., and knows the kind of people who would come across documents such as these as a part of doing political business.

A friend of my contact sent her these documents with the note:

'President Clinton and Rev. Jeremiah Wright... at White House breakfast during the 'Monica Mess.' I have no problem with Rev. Wright. I do have a problem with Clintonian hypocrisy.'

Not just anyone gets invited to a White House breakfast where they can shake the hand of the President. These events are carefully engineered to curry favor with people politicos think can help them.

Hillary may not have chosen Wright to be her pastor, yet her husband chose to cultivate a relationship with Rev. Wright during his presidency. This fact seems to have vanished from Hillary's memory as she delivered her recent round of sound bites, criticizing Obama for his past relationship to Wright.

Sounds very similar to her 'I was shot at in Bosnia' way of thinking.

The $109 Million Dollar Former First Lady taking money from the poor. Think about it.
Angelica (Sent Monday, May 12, 2008 7:01 PM)

Oh so it's Ok if you made 4.2 million last year and 2.5 million the year before that and over 1 million the year before that and take money from the poor, that's Ok though?

All these Obama supporters acting like someone who makes Millions (and most people will not ever see a million dollars in their life times) but makes a lot less millions than someone else is not wealthy.

And how much do you think the Obama's will make over the eight year period after leaving the White House if Obama becomes the President?

Bill Clinton had never written any books and got paid millions before becoming President, unlike Obama.

In fact, the Clinton's made all of a couple of hundred thousand dollars the year before Bill Clinton got elected, not 4.2 million like the Obama's.

All these people running their mouths about the fact that a Former President of the United States and a former First Lady of the United States, who is now a United States Senator, over an 8 year period made 109 million.

They didn't make 109 million in one year.

If Obama has already written two books, how many books do you think he will write while being President, and then after leaving the White House?

How many millions do you think people are going to pay Obama to give speaches after he would leave the white house?

If Obama gets elected and serves two terms, the amount of money the Obama's will have made eight years after leaving the white house will make the amount of money the Clinton have made look like chump change.

So get off your high horses and stop acting like the Clinton's have made so much money and no one can seem to understand why.

All these BMW driving, NPR listening, people that attended college (I won't say educated because going to college doesn't make someone educated)that are supporting Obama making over 100K a year acting like 109 million is a lot of money, what ever!

"Also, there was a Maryland pledged delegate, Jack Johnson, who says he'll vote for Obama at convention"
*************************

Ouch! As an Obama supporter, I think the pledged delegate should stick with who they are originally pledged to. However, because Hillary was so shamelessly advocating that they be allowed to switch over to whoever they want, I can't help but find this defection to be hilariously ironic. Be careful what you wish for Hillary, karma is a bitch.

Hillary will most likely win big today in West Virginia. This will be her last big win day. Next week she will win Kentucky but Obama will win Oregon. When Obama wins Oregon the flood gates will open up and all the supers will start making there pledges. Obama will have won more pledged delegates than Hillary will be able to. One week left for Hillary, I hope she enjoys it. Hillary's camp was given a fair divide offered by Michigan to split the delegates. She refused because she wants all of the delegates of Michigan. Hillary is the one that doesn't want all the votes to count.

Folks, it is time.

We are on the cusp of finally having what we have waited for a very long time to have in our country: LEADERSHIP. Not a bunch of warmongering opportunistic CRIMINALS like the current occupants of the White House, not his CLONE who is running with the party of the aforementioned, and not someone who is willing to take pages from the "Dirty Tricks Book" from the aforementioned party to use in a Democratic primary race, namely: fear tactics.

It took courage for Senator Barack Obama to even announce the fact that he chose to run for the Office of the President. It also takes courage for a citizen of the United States to have faith, to hope, and to believe in a candidate who runs his campaign based on these same tenets: to recall our history so that we prevent future mistakes, to protect our troops whose lives are being treated with such a cavalier manner that they are forced to fight enemies abroad and then our own government when they can't get the care they need and deserve, to do away with the old-style of politics, and to believe that America can be better, can once again lead the world not with hubris and arrogance, but with a sense of community, and with a dignity that has been absent ever since George W. Bush put his hand on the Bible and LIED TO THE NATION from the beginning.

Help clean up this mess and vote for Obama '08, so that we can take our country back.

Hillary’s supporters have gone as far as to say that they would vote for McCain or not vote at all come November. But no one knows at this point what would happen in the General Election. In spite of how weak a candidate John McCain is proving to be.

So why is Hillary Clinton's voter base so angry? Perhaps is it because for the first time in 100 years, someone has finally called them out for what they truly are; and for the entire world to see. Perhaps if any of them even possessed a passport, they could travel overseas to Europe to see what the world really thinks of Hillary's 'Deliverance' voters. And let's not forget the other embittered, jaded legions of ‘Desperate View supporters’ who see their chance to live vicariously through Bill Clinton's success (re-packaged as Hillary’s Joan of Arc triumphs) fading along with her campaign.

Hillary's supporters would rather their home go into foreclosure and that more of their sons and daughters die in Iraq than vote for a bi-racial candidate. Do they even know who has paid the greatest price in American Wars? - Those of a lower-income, the uneducated... Congratulations, Hillary Clinton on your voter base.

Please stop "blanketing" Hillary's supporters as racists; it is not helping Barack Obama win and it is not uniting us.

Such speculation is inherently unfair and as an Obama supporter, I think uniting the party is most important. We should take Obama's example and deny racism any power by acknowledging the good in people over the bad. It is our common interests that will bring us together.

Clinton Republicans & Democrats should join with us for a better country because voting McCain is not going to get them anywhere near the outcomes Hillary would want for our country.Period.

No, see the thing is, I want Hillary supporters. But the fact is RACE is a major factor in this race. I am white and I know how racist people are, they will not vote for Obama based solely on his RACE, nothing more.

We will never get these type of Hillary people, NEVER. Now there are objective and principled people that love Hillary Clinton and that is PERFECT. But, if they are open and obejective and democrats they will join the party in its unifying effort and be for Obama and the Democratic ticket.

I hope this clears everything up. Come on Dems we need to be unified. I mean if she, HRC, wasn't pulling some of these tactics she would be the one and only and perfect VP choice.

As a republican voting democratic, I'm so tired of hearing about how important this state and that state is to winning the Nov. election. EVERY STATE IN THIS UNION IS IMPORTANT!! And I've also grown tired of the Clinton won more here or there than Obama. Those votes were dem-vs-dem. In the general election it will be rep-vs-dem, and WHOEVER the dem is will be the victor! (So don't worry 'bout a thang, Obama. It's yours!)

The only reason Hillary Clinton is slated to win in W.Virgina is because of racism. The people there are so misinformed. I couldn't believe some of the comments they make. Senator Obama has endured so much during this campaign but he doesn't dwell on it. Hillary wants this so bad she just won't quit.

I am so tired of Super Delegates and Washington insiders who have real influence say they are 'afraid' of the damage Hillary is doing to OUR democratic party. They are the ones with the influence, why don't they use it? We, as voters, have spoen and the majority has voted. I am convinced they are more afraid of the 'Clinton Machine' than they are of ruining and dividing OUR democratic party. Come on, Super Delegates! Vote! Show some courage! Stand up and be counted as we have! (Even if you have to vote for Hillary) Just do something so we can move on. As an Obama supporter, I will vote democratic in November. I also know by doing that, there is not much difference in McSame and Billary.

Of course HRC will win WV. But to what goal? I appreciate that James Carvelle came out and said that he will support Obama once the nomination is final. Will Senator Clinton bring her supporters with her?
Or the bigger question:
Why IS HRC still "running"? What is her real agenda now? We know that SHE KNOWS she will not be the nominee? So why waste millions of dollars and sting this entire process along? Hillary, what is that you want out of this?

As a 35 year old married man with a daughter, I am concerned about the country. The U.S. Dollar isn't as significant, our diplomacy is shot, and we still have divide in this country; I am banking on the American people to stand and deliver. I am counting on the American people to put aside the differences that divide us and combine what unites us! We need America to stand tall and proud and if we let politics dictate the agenda, then what does that say for us as a nation? Are we trully the home of the free and the home of the brave? I want my daughter and my daughter's children to endure this land of opportunity that they so rightly deserve! Americans, WE THE PEOPLE are and should be the main topic of debate, not big business, not lobbyist and we need a President that will listen to the people and move us forward! I don't care if you are Republican, Democrat, White, Black, Rich, Poor, Blue collar, White collar, Educated, Non-educated; look at the candidates; Read their messages; Listen to them in their own words (go to each candidates website and read their plans-don't just listen to the media) and decide for yourself. Do not let speculation, cloud your judgement on reasons to vote or not vote for a specific candidate. Personally, I am 100% behind Obama, his message and approach seems to involve the people more than the everyday politics that has shaped our government for the past few decades. As stated earlier, I have faith in the American people, that we as a nation, we will ensure that we bring America back to prosperity...God Bless America...Land that I love!!!
