Ahh can't stop with the insults, messiah, you know what, my father a died in the wool republican told me just a day ago, he wouldn't vote for John McCain on a bet. My guess is he's been voting Republican since before you were voting since he is 70 years old. He says Barack Obama doesn't just follow the party line and that is why I like. He says, Barack Obama seems to talk to the other side. He says (and he is one of the wealthy, more so than you will ever be, oh yeah just google the Yellowstone Club) that we need to invest in our nation and quit giving the Saudi's all our money, he says he is voting for Barack Obama and anyone voting for McCain, might be a moron, and is so tired of the born agains running the show he changed his registration to Independent. Yes he voted for Nixon, he voted for Ford, he voted for Reagan, he voted for Goldwater. He thinks the religious folks believe they think they know what GOD wants... he surprisingly feels the same way I do about all those subjects. His rich friends are voting for Obama because they do not trust John McCain, they believe him to be a liar and believe that being in a prisoner of war camp is not a qualification to be President and by the way my father was a Navy Seal whose job was underwater demolition, I am sure you cannot say the same.

The most extreme senator, give us all a break. John McCain is a shill for big business, he is a liar and a cheat, he lied about the cross in sand, he lied about hearing the first half hour of the so called discussion, he can't remember anything he says from the morning to the evening. Moderate Republican who are pro-choice, pro-womens rights and pro America will vote for Barack Obama, not matter what names you come up with to call him. Because that seems to be all you have left, to call names.

@Joel29028

You probably already know this but the PUMA's can't stand that they lost and will continue their bitter rantings against anything that isn't Hillary centered. They cannot be reasoned with, they do not respond to logic, in three words, they are bitter. Bitter beyond reason. They see discrimination at every corner, never realizing Hillary and themselves have had great success, and no matter what claiming discrimination because they are women, and somehow believing the black man has never experience discrimination, or if he has it isn't as bad as what they've experienced, even in the face of actual FACTS. I find them to be an angry bunch, who seemingly don't care about throwing away any gains made in civil rights of all people, willing to throw away universal health care and the economy, and possibly be involved in several more wars. They are more centered on the aggrieved white professional woman, who has made more gains than black men in the world of business and politics, but refuse to acknowledge those facts. They are impossible and don't care if they throw away all the Democratic Party has fought for, I think because they believe Hillary will then be the nominee in 2012. It is a shame but we will know who to blame if McCain wins and hopefully we can throw them out of our party.

I hope you are correct on this one!

Edwards ????

Anyone who says they were for Edwards but decries the so-called Rovian tactics of the Obama Campaign but not the Clinton/Penn Campaign is intellectually dishonest at the least. Glad you can fool yourself Jebdubledum, cause most of us aren't that gullible.

@nananance

No one called you a racist, I said bitter and unable to accept reality. I see this will be 1968 or 1972 all over again. No one is good enough and civil rights be damned, either agree with me entirely or I will hold my breath and refuse to participate. Snatching defeat from the jaws of Victory, the same lame assed excuses I've been hearing well since Hillary lost. Give us all a break. Do you want another war, do you want the right to choose to be relegated to the states, do you think gay people should be able to be married, do you want universal health care, if so vote for the democrat and quit whining like losers, otherwise throw it all away. You might have been a democrat for 40 years and you might be one who didn't want Carter to win over Teddy Kennedy. If you were in a union you would know better, we fight it out on the inside and then we are united to the world. But not the bitters they would throw it all away for what, to prove what point?

Not Hillary's Fault

I just don't think it is Hillary's fault that some of her supporters and going to protest at the convention. I can't believe it, because she is a democrat and member of the democratic party. She and Barack believe in the same things. He should use her more, he should pick her as his choice of VP, and not because of her crazy supporters but because she could help him as much or more than any of those white guys and because she does care about this country.

I supported him through this entire process and I want her as his VP, because she would be excellent. She knows how to go after Republicans and she would be an asset in getting universal health care, she believes in everything we all believe.

She is proving it now with this action as well. He could do worse in a pick but he could hardly do better.
