Not Angry Cause it is True

You know being originally from Montana I can tell you for a fact it is 100% true, had to move away 22 years ago so we could get jobs, you know have a house, our own family. Seattle is a nice place don't get me wrong, my kids are Seattlites, my grandmother was a Seattlelite until 1930, when she moved to Montana after being married. There were jobs in Montana then, mining jobs, good jobs, lumber mill jobs, good jobs, when those jobs went away unfortunately there was nothing to replace them, nothing. People are a bit bitter, frustrated, been screwed by Democrats and Republicans since Ronald Reagan. You can't tell me it isn't true, too many of us moved away only to visit once or twice a year, see parents and relatives, visit, but they never get to just race over on a bike to see your aunt, hair flying wildly (no helmets then) laughing in the dry hot summer air. Trudging through the snow to hang out with a great aunt or grandma, mow the lawn, walking down the store on the corner to buy penny candy and playing kick the can in the alley, it smelled like dust and pine trees. I wish my kids knew it too, knew the smells, the air, the midwestern summer. They dont. They missed something.

Fascinating

Yes it was fascinating, fascinating to see two guys who love to hear the sound of their own voices. Fascinating to see a set up by journalists, using that term very loosely, fascinating to see whose side ABC and Disney are on, Fascinated to know Sean Hannity gets to control the debate questions, fascinating to know I should be worried about lapel pins, some guy from the Weather Underground and if Obama loves America more than Rev Wright and not the recession, global warming, a new economic model based on the green model, or anything that might impact our lives. OH I shouldn't forget bitter and clingy..... Ahh fascinating, it was fascinating to never hear anything about real issues, fascinating, I'll say.

These people must be kidding. At last glance 15000 comments on the ABC newspage and they are not saying they support ABC News. Fascinating.

Wrong or Right

You really think Congress and the President are going to pass immediately a bill repealing the gas tax? Wow, exactly what world do you live in? The President has to sign all bills remember? Congress has to attempt to pass those bills, so if that can't happen what is the use of even discussing that it will help consumers, which it will not. Please. Give me a break.

Original article: Clinton writes to Obama

Lying in her letter

I have consistently said... blah blah blah, except last year when she agreed these delegates would not count. Now that is consistency if you only count what she's said since February.

Less lthan what you think

She raised less than 22 mill because 6.4 mil is from her own personal account, therefore she raised 15.6 mil, therefore he doubled her.

Geez Joan

Even Dee Dee Myers is saying Sen Clinton's argument is boneheaded. But of course it isn't her fault is it, it is the Obama campaigns fault... yep, it could never be the Clintons fault.

Although I am somewhat insulted at your insistance that the Clintons are responsible for rebuilding our party, really. We lost control of the Senate and the House under the Clintons and the supreme court because GW Bush won. And that was Bill Clinton's fault.

You know Joan I spent the better part of the 1990's defending those two. Defending them! I've been a democrat for 30 years Joan, 30 years. I do not see how they rebuilt the party, George Bush rebuilt out party, because finally some democrats stopped acting like Republicans. He rebuilt are party, if the Clinton's had their way our party would support more Republican folly, like maybe another war, like maybe in Iran, something Hillary seems to support!

And if Dee Dee Myers can see it why can't you.

@Lafit1

There is something wrong with your posts, but I think I know something about you and you are a racist through and through but you might also be a freeper... no matter what you might be, your obvious prejudices show and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Do you think you can post your racist bile and not be called on it here in Salon?

Find some other trolls who will listen to you because I think even the most ardent Clinton supporter sees you for what you are.

@senor plaid and Thadeus Crumb

Thanks for that!

Blow Back

Well if this happens it will set the US Back eons and women who fought for our right to choose, our right for equal pay will be responsible. Is this really what they want? Do they want another war (Iran), do they want more supreme court justices who would take away our right to choose? Will they actually vote against a democrat because their candidate did not win in the primaries? If they do then I say you get what you deserve! Although we all do not deserve it but they will deserve it, the next war will be their fault.

I guess I find that my candidate in the primaries have never won, until this year, hopefully, but I didn't abandon the party because of it, I voted for a democrat. Geez, talk about big babies. So they will stomp their feet, hold their breath and set the country back a few more decades, great. Just great. But even Joan said it on Hardball, she stated she would vote for McCain. Good luck ladies. You will get what you deserve on this one.
