  • So states can do whatever they want whenever they want without any repercussions.

    Great! I'm going to lobby my state legislature to move my state primary up to March 2011. Fuck the other states! Fuck 'em! Anything goes!! And if people complain, fuck 'em, might makes right....whichever candidate has the loudest shit fit should get the delegates! Anything goes! There is no law...do what thou wilt! Power for its own sake!

  • Only one shot at real change.

    As I said before, she is the best qualified candidate. Obama needs to spend more time in the Senate.

    It's Obama or McCain. That's it. McCain represents a further erosion of our Constitution, our economy, and our health as a nation to the point where the only way out would be a massive social and political uprising that will make the '60's look like a fucking tea party. So, if you think we can sit around and let Obama hang out in the Senate for eight or twelve years twiddling his thumbs then you're crazy. I don't want this country to blow up like a powder keg. Do you?

    We have been on the same basic path, certainly the same economic program since 1980. All of my childhood, youth, and adult life. Hillary Clinton does NOT represent change. She is part of the Bush/Clinton dual monarchy (McCain too, acting as Bush regent). Neoconservative, neoliberal, corporatist, globalist, whatever you want to call it. It's headed for a either a firey death or or a quiet one. I don't know what the future holds for Obama. All I know is that a person like Obama only comes around once a generation. I'm not waiting another forty years for a chance like this to come again. Hillary needs to stop her psychotic jihad. And if you think that, through some impossible course of events, that Hillary Clinton gets into the White House again that she'll be the reincarnation of FDR, then you are pretty much batshit insane. If you think she's going to create a magical gynotopia on earth, you are batshit insane.

    As Bill Clinton once said, it's time to fall out of love and fall in line. Fall in line or do what you want, but keep in mind if she suicide bombs the convention, and then gets McCain elected, you are gonna see many millions of extremely angry MFers, and by WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY these neocons AND their enablers INCLUDING the DLC Corporatists like Bill and Hillary be purged from our political system in the most messy and frightening way possible. Do you want that? I sure don't. But it will go down that way, and it will impact your life directly in some fasion, most likely not positively.

    And if I hear one more, "I'd love vote for a woman, just not THAT WOMAN," I really am going to puke.

    So your position is, anyone with a vagina that gets elected POTUS will bring about a perfect Gynotopia. Hillary Clinton, Ann Coulter, Paris Hilton, all the same. How perfectly reductionist. You're the misogynist.

  • Hillary....a class act!

    What a classy lady, today she used RFK's assassination as a reason for her to stay in the race.

    What class! Hillary '08!

  • HRC = Class Act

    Further proof of her sociopathy. The more she digs herself into the hole and the more she mortifies Democrats the better. Keep digging!

    Hey 08, really there's no reason to post batshit crazy conspiracy theories from the right wing in the '90's; two wrongs don't make a right. That's the old slimeball politics and it's exactly why Obama transcends Hillary like the eagle soars above the fly.

    I agree. Even Obama's campaign manager David Axelrod said that he didn't think she meant anything sinister. What she was commenting on was why everybody is insisting that she drop out when past elections have been unresolved well into June. But notice how Rachel Maddow on MSNBC right now called Hillary "ghoulish," which fits into the meme of Hillary as "female monster."

    Haha, thank you for the ROFL of the day. Yeah I saw that too. Why is Rachel Maddow such a knuckle-dragging, neanderthal misogynist pig??

    There are more than 10 pages of this crap regarding yet more remarks made by one of the candidates. You are all buying into yet another big media smokescreen and ignoring the real issues at hand. Cut the crap and get back to the matter at hand: this country is in a load of trouble and we need someone who can reel in the corporations and Wall Street's gaming of the economy, end the war, and punish those who led us to this war. Which means, I'm throwing my vote to Cynthia McKinney. I want a candidate who REALLY scares the hell out of the establishment and will bring them to justice!

    Yeah! Vote for McCain via McKinney! A McCain presidency will teach those warmongers, just like voting for Bush via Nader did in 2000! That'll teach those transnational corporations!!

    Well why don't you move to another country then? I'm sure there's a bananna republic somewhere that mirrors your Bush Utopia. Your eight years are coming to an end very soon. Better start packing! See you in the shitcan of history.

    By November, we 75% will make sure Barack Dukakis is recognized as the joke he is.

    You have a loud bark, little doggie. Where's your bite?
