We will come together, even those who don't want to.

Do you know why?

Because, Obama said to tell the truth.

The truth is we are all part of this great land--no matter our individual opinions and prejudices. Like the man said, "I am imperfect."

But he is right, people, it is not about Obama, Clinton, or MCCAIN.

The real question is do we want to continue the war in IRAQ? With more dead and wounded.

Do we want to reward the rich and pull every spare dime there is out of the poor and middle class? (more Bush)

Do we want health care for all--or should we let, at least some of them, die in the streets?

What do we, the people, want?

Go ahead, you narrow minded individuals, go ahead and jump ship. Cut of your head to cure your headache--yes, that will make you feel better (or bitter) However, in the end you are only acting in a self-destructive way.

Surely, if Hillary had won, I would want her policy--not McCains! It doesn't matter that I find Hillary completely repulsive, and dishonest. Her policies are sound, and they are very close to Obama's, and they well help Americans! And they will help my friends, the soldiers! And they will help us all!
Those Policies will help our education and our economy. Those policies will determine and define all of us.

The rich, are rich for a reason. Special interest lobby for a reason. Politicians accept money from special interests for a reason! Obama's policies, the same in many ways as Clinton's policies, are this contry's great chance to change the course of our dependence on oil, on special interest, and on dirty politics in general. It's time to have a little discipline and not act like a spoiled brat.

It is time to come together as Democrats!

Republicans: Beware!

I have been reading various blogs all day and I'm disappointed that Obama supporters are being relentlessly curel to Clinton supporters. (I am convinced this is not what Obama would want.) We'll never get him elected in November if we keep behaving in a way that keeps us divided.

They have every right to be as loyal to Clinton as we are to Obama.

They think we've been more cruel; we think the same of them. They feel victimized by media; we feel the same.

Think how you'd feel if Obama had lost yesterday.

MSNBC never posts anything I write. Hopefully this will be the one they finally post.

Hillary Clinton is the right person for the job, too bad Black America is so prejudice and h**l bent on having a Black president they don't see the fact that Obama hasn't got a plan, just full of words. They say this election isn't about race but it is and every one of those 91% of Black Americans has proven that fact.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA, not because of his race but because of his lack of plan and anything concrete.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN, he is too much like Bush.

I WILL WRITE MY VOTE IN FOR CLINTON, no matter who is the nominee.

Democrats do not want to hear what the remaining primary states have to say. That's what is unfair. But Crissie says nothing about that unfairness.

Glenn, Bakersville, NC. — Wed, 07 May 2008 17:17:13 GMT

People don't understand the purpose or the full effect of Operation CHAOS being waged by Rush Limbaugh, so here is the original intent and direction given to people by Rush himself. If you don't think it made a difference, early conservative estimates put the # of CHAOS voters in Indiana at @ 7% of the total vote. It's significant, and it shows the influence Mr. Limbaugh has.

Operation CHAOS:
A campaign worker said he would quit the McCain campaign if he was told to do ads critical of Obama. Now, at this time -- this is before Texas and Ohio -- Obama is running away with this; and if he wins Texas and Ohio, Mississippi, he puts her away -- and it's over, and there's no way the superdelegates are going to be talked out of supporting him. So Operation Chaos was born primarily for the purpose assuming Obama was going to be the nominee at the get go of this. He needs to be bloodied up politically since McCain is not going to do it. Since the Republican Party is not going to be on the field in this way, somebody's gotta bloody up Obama. The only person that can do it is Hillary, and she can't do it if she's not in the race -- and so the purpose was Operation Chaos was to keep her in the race and to have her bloody up Obama in the process of staying in the race. I'm talking about politically.

And, lo and behold, it's happened. This is the crucible of chaos. Look at what Operation Chaos has forged. Mrs. Clinton now is threatening to obliterate Iran. She says she gonna break up OPEC. She wants to hold the money brokers responsible for the alleged recession. She says she gonna renege on NAFTA. She'll take what she calls the excess profits from Big Oil. And she's going to do all that while hunting and downing shots of Crown Royal followed by a beer. None of that, not one of these Clinton promises would exist were it not for Operation Chaos. The train would not have come off the tracks of the Obama campaign, were it not for Operation Chaos. The Jeremiah Wright stuff and all that, yes, that would have happened, but nothing could have done anything about it because Mrs. Clinton would have been effectively out of the race, not able to mount a campaign. So we'd be in a far different spot today than we were so the purpose of this is to keep this going -- exactly what's happened.

And not only do we have chaos in the Democrat ticket and the Democrat race and the Democrat race; we've got chaos in the Drive-By Media. Chaos has sprung up all over this campaign. That was the objective, and I need to issue a sincere thanks to all of you commandos, volunteers, and operatives for one hell of a job. I know how hard this has been for those of you to go out there and follow orders and actually vote for a Clinton. You have had to trust me that I know what I'm doing here and that that will not end up harming you or us, and I appreciate this trust that you have invested in me, your commander-in-chief. RUSH LIMBAUGH

The CW on the protracted Democratic nominating campaign is that it has been bad for the party. But what about this: look at all the new registered voters that have been recruited to support either Clinton or Obama! This would not be happening until the fall if not for all of this. And those new voters are engaged and motivated and will vote in November. For all the glee the Republicans have shown at the protracted and divisive race for the nomination, they have failed to consider the unintended consequences. Once united, the Dems will be unstoppable in November!

It's Ok to be loyal, but it may hurt him in the next election. If he were that close to the Clinton's & went to church with Bill on Sunday, maybe this tells you that she still has something up her sleeve. If Rep Shuler were a smart man, he may of made that phone call today, to ask if he should wait to endorse, or she informed him that she was going on and had a Ace up her sleeve.

The Clintons have had a long, strangely close relationship to race-baitors and race-baiting. I think back to President Clinton's withdrawal of the nomination of Professor Lani Guinier for Associate Attorney General for Civil Rights. The right-wing construction of Guinier as the "Quota Queen" was all it took for Clinton to fold and withdraw her nomination BEFORE she even had a chance to appear in front of the Senate committees. So, it's no surprise that Hillary continues to push herself forward as the "White Hope" of Democrats.
