 Clinton Gains in North CarolinaPosted on Apr 29, 2008A new poll shows Hillary Clinton closing the gap in North Carolina, a state that has been firmly in Barack Obama’s corner for weeks. According to the survey, Clinton has made gains among white voters, which many will doubtlessly attribute to the re-emergence of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The race remains tight in Indiana.

By Jack08democracy, May 4 at 11:49 pm # A great tool brings superdelelegates togetherYou can continue the debate ! Surely ! The Democratic race for nomination is very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates. Nevertheless.. Indiana ,Idaho and West Virginia are still to come. If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com It takes a moment, but what’s a few minutes now worth to get Obama in office?! Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It’s that easy… Clinton Supporters too …. ! It takes a moment, but what’s a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Sending a note to current Clinton supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Obama supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Clinton, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Clinton. It’s that easy… REALLY easy to identify the superdelegates and reach out to them! It includes a list of names, addresses, and affiliations of superdelegates from each state including your state
By Lauren, April 30 at 5:35 am # Hillary Clinton is probably the most politically expedient politician I have ever seen in my lifetime. Have you gone over her voting record in the Senate? Her foreign policy votes are identical to those of the neoconservatives with a one vote difference- she voted for the restoration of habeas corpus. That was an excellent vote, but it does not make up for the other votes that she made, everything from her vote to authorize military force in Iraq to her vote for the Kyl/Lieberman resolution. After rather disingenuously claiming that she believed her military action authorization vote in Iraq would lead to more diplomacy she voted FOR Kyl/Lieberman???? Well, some of the people who helped author that resolution lobbied her, and she expediently went along with them. Her most despicable pro-neocon vote had to be her vote against Senate Amendment 4228, which would have banned the sale by the United States of cluster bombs to countries that use them against civilian populations. Often the victims of cluster bombs are children. The bomblettes are small, scattered on the ground, often brightly colored. Yet for political expediency Hillary Clinton voted for the continuance of the sale of cluster bombs that will kill children. According to your brand of logic I must be an idiot, but at least I’m not supporting an immoral woman who has no ideology and is simply looking for personal power. Be careful, if the wind starts blowing from another direction she’ll shift to get lifted by it, and it might not be going in the direction you want. If you even notice, that is.

If you think electing the candidate from EITHER side of the aisle who has taken the most lobbyist money from the military establishment is voting for change, you might be an idiot!! If you think the candidate who pushed for the NAFTA but claims she didn’t and who claims to be against the Free Trade with Colombia Pact, but is surrounded by campaign operatives who have ties with groups lobbing for it, is going to help the American blue collar workers keep jobs from leaving this country, you might be an idiot!! If you think the candidate who tried once to push her Universal health Care for all plan through once and failed will be successful the second time, you might be an idiot!! If you think the candidate whose trustworthiness is less than 50% has a shot in the general election, you might be an idiot!! If you think this same untrustworthy candidate will have coattails in the fall, you might be an idiot!! If you think a progressive in this country would choose NeoCon Hillary Clinton over Ralph Nader, you might be an idiot!!
By jacksmith, April 29 at 6:31 pm # :-)MY FELLOW “BITTER”, STUPID, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE If you think like Barack Obama, that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE are just a bunch of “BITTER”!, STUPID, PEASANTS, Cash COWS!, and CANNON FODDER. :-( You Might Be An Idiot! If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience. You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people. You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history. You Might Be An Idiot! If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton.. You Might Be An Idiot! If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. Best regards jacksmith… Working Class p.s. You Might Be An Idiot! You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year. Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. And I could go on, and on… OBAMA AIDE: “WORKING-CLASS VOTERS NOT KEY FOR DEMOCRATS” :o DEBATE! DEBATE!! DEBATE!!!… Add Your Comment |
