    Yeah, Maggie Thatcher sure changed England, like Golda Meir changed Israel. Hawks come in both genders. Billary signed a blank check for George and the boys to invade at their leisure. Nice job, and she has yet to apologize, as John Edwards was man enough to do. Under Big Bill and His Big One we lost the house and the senate for the first time in decades. Billy could make it happen again, with the highest negatives of any candidate running. But the taming of the shrew is well under way. Say goodnight, Billary.

    John Mcain survived five years in north vietnamese prison. For that he deserves our respect. He's ridden that horse for thirty years. It's dead. He, the purported maverick, the stud on the Straight Talk express, is a Bush sycophant. Ever since South Carolina in '00, Johnny's had his nose up Georgie's preppy tush. His disagreement, primarily, is that we are not warlike enough. More troops. More war. Escalation. Kill them heathen Muslim bastards. The economy is going to crap in large part because we're pissing away billions a month in Eye-rack, and John wants more. Hillary voted for the war, and refuses to apologize for her vote. That's all I need to know. She's a decent Senator and raised a fine daughter. Good for her. She will never be President. If she levers her way, via superdelegates, in to the nomination, she will lose. Unless we get 60 votes in the Senate, and I highly doubt we'll be at more than 55 or 56, Warmonger Johnny can bomb to his heart's content. He loves war. It's his family's tradition. It's what they do. If you want President McLame, vote for Billary.

    Yes, the Clintons are playing the victim card, you foul mouthed fool. And I'm a 61 year old Vietnam vet. Viva Obama. Your mind is a toxic waste dump. Get help.

    Yes, I wanted Edwards, and now I want Obama. But, make no mistake, I will vote with enthusiasm for Ms. Clinton in November if it comes to that. This is a power struggle, not patty cake. Grow up.

    I, too, have been greatly troubled by some of Ms. Clinton's positions. But I'd be circumspect about a third party vote in a national election. Think Raff Nadir. Or John Anderson. Hey, I started out in the Peace and Freedom party in 68, so I have those sympathies. But you have to build local first, and work you way up. Top down approaches tend to give you Germany in '33. best, tom

    No wonder you're anonymous. Whatever the Clinton are paying you to post, it's too much. You've not a thread of credibility, and the vocabulary of a third grader. Nice name calling though. You might want to update your widdle notebook: my wife and I, both in our sixties, are strong Obaba supporters, as are my parent, in their mid eighties. So sod off.

    My, you're a busy little beaver this afternoon, anal. The distinct whiff of fascism, the hint of trailer park, all hallmarks of your pathetic little Billary-bot support posts. Beneath the fold? Nah: beneath the intelligence of any reasonable person.

    a recurring disease, it would appear. The Dick doesn't shoot ducks; he shoots old lawyers, after drinking heavily and confusing a 6'3" gray haired man for a quail. On a game preserve. That's Our Dick. The other Dick is Billary's significant Udder. Nice racist slurs, Bill. You kin take the boy outa the Ozarks, but ya can't take the Ozarks outa the boy. Watch the Clintons run straight out of the Rove playbook between now and March 4.

    Yes, Obama is splitting votes away from Billary, in droves. That's what the primaries are supposed to do, Einstein. Ms. Clinton's 47% unfavorable rating precedes anything the Obama campaign could have done to "drive up her negatives". Nothing would unite the frothing fascists like a Billary campaign. You should know: you're one of 'em. love, Heywood.

    Then what were the Constitutional conventions? Tea parties? Lawn bowling? Or large contentious meetings? You seem far too bright to join the "caucuses don't count" wing of the Billary Brigade.

    Hillary has 47% of the public that won't- that mean will not, anonymous pusillanimous- vote for her. So, though I will rejoice at the departure of Bushit and Dick, having Warmonger John take his place will make foreign policy- and I didn't think it possible-worse. Domestically and intellectually he'd be a quantum jump, but he's a belligerent jerk. It's not that I do not have admiration for ms Clinton and some of the things she's done (and endured), it's that I think McLame will beat her like a bass drum. I wish that weren't true. Then, at the convention they could have a ceremonial coin flip. She has more baggage than Paris Hilton going to Europe.

    Who's the lady with a 47% disapproval rating? MIcehelle Obama? Or Billary? She's the energizer bunny for the fascist base. They love to hate her; I wish this were not true. She's done nothing to deserve it. But there it is. She is the only candidate in the Democratic field who could lose to McCain, except Mike Gravel. Dodd, Biden, Edwards, anybody. Not her. Loser. Not her fault, but loser.

    I wear your contempt like a badge of honor. I've worked for this party since Robert Kennedy in 68, about 25 years before you were born. Apparently, the high school reading problems are as pandemic as advertised (look it up, dimwit). I'm for Obama, not against Hillary. I'm for winning in November, not losing. I thought Edwards had both the eloquence and passion of Obama and the experience that Hillary claims, and at least as much intelligence as either. But the media wanted the brother vs the bitch, so that's what they fed us. Given what's left, we've given money we don't have to Obama. We have four grandkids, and more on the way. We give a damn. It's all too abundantly clear you do not. love, heywood
