[Read the article: A split Democratic decision]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What is so despicable about Hillary's changing goalposts, is she completely lacks the courage of her convictions. To be quite honest, she has none, except her ruthless desire to win the nomination no matter the cost to her party and to her country.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Further, in the rules of the Democratic party there are provisions for determining if FL and MI will be seated. When the members of that committee make their determination about FL and MI how will they be violating the rules?
Hillary Clinton and Terry McCauliffe, both agreed that MI and FL broke the rules by moving up their primaries and should be punished. Only after she started losing that MI and FL became important for her to claim the votes. Check out Terry's book. He makes a case for punishing FL and MI. Now he is singing another song and so is Hillary
To insist Senator Clinton is some how cheating is what hardens her supporters against your candidate
Are you voting for the candidate or are you voting for the supporters? I would hope that you would vote for the candidate and not be swayed by any supporters. I will tell you that Hillary will never get my vote, not because of her supporters but because of who she is and what she stands for, which is alluding me.
You on the other hand seem to live at here. Nothing wrong with that, but I just don't see these threads making much of a difference in how people think.
I am incensed with the tack Hillary took today about taking this charade to the convention floor. Please do take a look at the dates. I don't live here. Today is a different case. But if that makes you feel better, console yourself.
Both have shown an amazing lack of spine on the war issue and all of the infringements on our rights by the executive that have come from fear mongering. It was Senator Dodd who fillibustered to prevent telecom immunity. Senator Clinton and Senator Obama couldn't be bothered.
It is fantastic that you mention these definciencies in both candidates. They are both politicians after all.
About breaking the rules. I don't believe I've ever said that she was breaking the rules. I said that she keeps changing the goalposts. First, it was all about big states vs small states, popular votes vs delegate votes. She even poohpoohed the idea of super delegates deciding the outcome of the primaries. Now she is all for the more experienced within the Democratic Party who should be trusted more than the voters themselves. What does that say about of the people and by the people? Why the return to the few to select the nominee? The Jon Stewart video really says it all.
I am not trying to sell you anything. Vote your conscience. I don't have a problem with that. Our disagreement is primarily that you see a floor fight as a good thing and I see that as the demise of not only the party and Obama, but Hillary as well. We have had 8 horrific years of Bush. Can we afford another 4 with McCain who will continue with Bush policies.
Goodnight and bless you.

No "Unity" Ticket
[Read the article: She's in it to spin it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"The Field can now confirm, based on multiple sources, something that both campaigns publicly deny: that Senator Clinton has directly told Senator Obama that she wants to be his vice presidential nominee, and that Senator Obama politely but straightforwardly and irrevocably said 'no.'

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bill said "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." I think they should take their own advice!
They are very good at playing victim because they get so much mileage out of that. Remember that faux tear in New Hampshire? Then they blamed the media. Oh yeah after the media went ballistic on Wright? Now, she even gets the endorsement of Melon Scaife. Wow!!!
Oh yes. Do not forget the vast right wing conspiracy. She had the whole nation believe that and we very generously forgave them the fallout from Monica Lewinsky. Wonder what she is doing these days?

Clinton Gave Voters Permission to be Racist
[Read the article: She's in it to spin it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/clinton-gave-voters-permi_b_103085.html
Yesterday, RJ Eskow was on our show and we had an interesting discussion of why so many people in West Virginia and Kentucky admitted to pollsters that they voted based on race. This is otherwise known as racism. It's also something that people are usually loathe to admit. So, why did 21% of the voters in Kentucky freely admit that race was an important factor in their vote?
It's because Hillary Clinton's campaign gave them permission to be racist.
