    On Feb 5 night I was so happy about my Hillster's wins and by the end of the evening I was screaming in a drunken rage against MSNBC and it's endless

    OBAMAOBAMAOBAMA!!!!

    Christ! If I hear that name too many more times my head will do a complete

    360 and pea soup will fly out of my mouth!

    Oh, and Obama (shit! there's that name again!) said, in his speech that night:

    "We must become the change we desire" or something close to that. That line is like, so TOTALLY ancient! (I think it's an Oprah line)

    Miss Thing, Chris Matthews, couldn't stop repeating that phrase, like the O-man

    had just come off of Mt. Sinai or something. I swear, Matthews gets like a

    puppy that wets itself when excited.

    Whew, Glad to get that off my chest.

    While your post was indeed thoughtful it seems to me that you think you need someone outside of yourself to guide you. You do not. Look within. It seems

    to me that you are on the verge of awakening.

    By the way, Obama is just getting creepier by the minute. I think of him as the Jim Jones for the latte set.

    I figured out your post. You are dyslexic. Where you said Hillary or variations thereof, what you REALLY meant was Obama. There there, don't be embarrassed.

    I'm sure your therapist can recommend some exercises to help alliviate your symptoms.

    First off, love your screen name.

    Barack Obama is a charismatic cult leader in the mode of Jim Jones, make no mistake about it. Just listen to his true believing followers. At the rally in LA on Feb 3 with Michelle Obama , Oprah, et al go on and on about how he is "The One (whatever the hell that means) and how he is ready for us, are we ready for him? I'm sure you can find a transcript of that rally and see for yourself.

    Your guy is mentally off balance. You are followers in a personality cult in the

    mode of Jim Jones.

    I hope Hillary wins the nomination and does not ask Obama to be VP. The man has something wrong in his head. All the impassioned speech and flowery language can't disguise it.

    Obama also has a meanness of spirit.

    He can kiss my patootie.

    It has NEVE EVER been a question of human needs versus animal needs.

    It is a case of animal needs versus human GREED. And the smallest microbe on a mouse turd is more important than human greed.

    Why is it that no one says ONE word about the wretched excesses of the wealthy? Huge multiple houses, insane amounts of money spent on restaurants, fancy clothing, luxury cars and on and on. Not one word of objection.

    Yet let a person spend money on an animal and people go ape shit.

    If you spend money on more than the essentials, and are not giving it to other HUMANS on this planet who are suffering due to your greed then you have NOTHING TO SAY!

    The problems of human suffering on this planet are not caused by animals. They are caused by other humans - excepting natural disasters.

    I would not want to cause a pet unnecessary suffering by prolonging their lives when the cause is hopeless. All animals have is their bodies, I get that. Euthanasia for humans (decided by the patient) is a good idea also.

    I just get all riled when someone won't spend $3,000 for a pet but WILL spend the money for a car or a vacation. Someone who will do that has a sickness in their soul.

    Michael Moore has stated that indeed HRC has taken the most money from the pharma industry.

    He has also stated that the one who is second to her in this regard is Barack Obama! Check it out!

    You wonder whether or not credulity tests are handed out to HRC supporters.

    Obama hands out "incredulity" tests just to see how many can be conned.

    He's quite the snake oil salesman.

    Let's see if I have it right:

    Obama's followers: due to the "Audacity of Hope" they are "Fired Up and Ready to Go" because they feel the "Fierce Urgency of Now". Suckers.

    [Read the article: Mr. Penn, pot and kettle called]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Where is the contradiction? Did Mark Penn's company have a hand in watering down Obama's legislation?

    By the way, I don't like Mr. Penn and wish HRC would drop him.

    From what I've read: Obama wrote the bill and Obama watered it down. And yes, Clinton co-sponsored the bill that didn't get passed.

    Further, why did Obama vote yes on Cheney's energy bill? Isn't that the same bill that Cheney would not let anyone know whom he had consulted with before writing it? HRC voted no on that bill.

    it is interesting to note that Obama could only vote "present" on the stem cell research bill.

    What are his priorities?

    I don't think Michelle has any interest in keeping her husband's insane ego in check. Read the transcript from her speech given at the LA rally right before the California primary. She thinks her husband is as great as he thinks he is. Both Barack and Michelle are crazy.

    And by the way, I do believe that Obama is equal to Jim Jones, I've said it here many times. Only difference: Obama is Jim Jones with a lot of corporate backing.
