Obama is always gracious and puts a happy face on all things Clinton. But, Hillary is the Head/Queen of PUMA. if she were truly behind her party's nominee, she could stop all of the BS by these cranky pants. She needs to make a strong statement that she does NOT agree with these people and demand that they stop using her name. State that while she appreciated every vote she got, that she will NOT have her name put in nomination at the convention. It's all very simple and if she were really living up to her pledge to do all she can, then she could do these little things and end all the BS.

How did First Read let this slip by?

“John McCain has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal today, and the very first sentence reads, “For anyone who thought that stark international aggression was a thing of the past, the last week must have come as a startling wake-up call. . . “In the 21st century,” McCain said, “nations don’t invade other nations.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Read all about it here:

‘Nations don’t invade other nations’ (some restrictions may apply)http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16549.html#more-16549

Another downside of invading Iraq perhaps? Other countries feel emboldened to do the same?

previous post:
"That's ignorant, Clara,
Abortion is not a church issue. It is an issue of taking a human life. Gay marriage is a church issue, not a state issue. Churches should decide whom they will marry, the state should not decide who can marry. The state oversteps its authority on that one. On abortion, however, it is a legitimate discussion for the state to conduct. If abortion is murder, then it must not be permitted. If it is not, then it must not necessarily be allowed, but could be. My opinion is that it is the taking of a human life, therefore the government does have authority to do all they can to prevent it." Philip, Wisconsin (Sent Thursday, August 14, 2008 10:28 AM)

So does that mean you are “pro Death”? I mean a baseless war and the death penalty, aren’t those also ‘murder’? State sanctioned, government funded? Is a miscarriage Involuntary Manslaughter? And pray tell, who do we get to administer justice?

Any Clinton supporters who are soooooo upset with Obama for winning that they will stay home or vote McCain should study McCain's treatment of women to include his first wife and abandoned first family. Also check out the recent events and how he almost sent us back into a cold war by blabbing his ill informed mouth. McCain is like a kid who stole dad's car and is driving it down the highway. The only thing is, he doesn't know how to drive. His wreckless comments and policies will get more Americans killed. I urge you to vote with your brain and not your heart this season.

I am so sick of the Clintons…it always has been and always will be about them. Hillary doesn't care about "party unity," she doesn't care about "healing," she just cares about herself, her own agenda, and nevermind what's best for the democratic party or the country. I've always said her strategy was two-fold - if she can't win the nomination (which she won't), then do enough damage to the unity of the democratic party to try to get McCain elected in November - this way she can run for president in another 4 years instead of 8. Nevermind that if McCain is elected, there may not be much left of this country if we have to suffer through four more years of the same mess we're in now. I can tell you one thing, I will NEVER vote for Hillary after the way she's been acting, whether she tries to run in 4 years, 8 years, or 12 years when she's pushing 80 or so….

I wonder what would happen if the roles were reversed and Obama was the one acting like she is? Would she beg her donors to pay off his debt? Would she allow his name to be on nomination?

Maybe, instead of stirring the pot FR, you can actually explain what this means. It's not unusual but you all are making it out that she is going to steal the nomination from him or divide the party during the convention.
