    So it bothers you that Hillary Clinton voted for the war but it doesn't bother you that Barack Obama voted for the war.

    Hmmmmm.

    I fail to see any reaason to take Barack Obama supporters seriously. They the have the enthusiasm of Hannah Montana fans and the sharp inquisitive minds of McCain and Huckabee supporters.

    I would prefer a jaded cynical party hack to that, but I'd prefer an honest crook to either one.

    Can't "W" just cancel the election on general principles?

    Clinton supporters won't vote for Obama and Obama supporters won't vote for Clinton.

    Let's see if they blame each other for putting Romney in the White House. Nah, they will blame Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney.

    Republicans know how to work together and play together. Democrats know how to act like republicans - especially in regards to each other as democrats. They only act like democrats when they want to sucker some voters and then it is back to corporate america rules.

    The only reason you should vote is for the high you get by picking the winner and identifying with victory. The issues do not matter and the personalities do not matter because either way, war is the only victor in this election.

    Bush like them both just fine. Barack Obama was endorsed by George Bush's Skull and Bones brother John Kerry who handed the 2004 election to him. His economic advisor is Austan Goolsbee - Skull and Bones. Foreign policy, cold warrior and trilateralist Zbigniew Brzezinski and his WIFE is on the Council of Foreign Relations. Check out her bio at Wikipedia and elsewhere and see if they mention the CFR.

    Lot of HOPE and CHANGE coming with this establishment puppet.

    No different from the rest of the establishment candidates - just different lies to sell the package.

    The Clinton's and Bush's are partners.

    With President Romney.

  • Thanks for making the election jump the shark!

    Now the superbowl, that had some real issues and real players in it. Far more serious than the buffonery that the media presents as coverage of the election.

    Nader didn't blow the election, having two establishment candidates that had cartoon voices, Gore and Lieberman, may have had more to do with it than the republican opponent, but Nader was the only choice.

    Now if Clinton and Obama supporters decided to sit the election out if their corporate shill doesn't win the nomination, are you mainstream media drones going to blem them for the result, or still blame Nader?

    It takes a whole lot of stupid to vote for any of these clowns.

    Except for Nader, that just takes a sense of smell.

  • Romney will make a fine nominee.

    McCain is just too crazy even for the RNC.

  • Voting.

    Yesterday I voted and there were two voters who exited before I entered and two that entered when I left. There were no campaigners outside. Other polling places looked about as busy.

    Does anyone care anymore? Have most people just figured that this isn't worth there time because it really doesn't make any difference?

    The mainstream media has declared Clinton a loser and no one wants to vote for a loser. Issues do not matter to the average voter, it is just about the rush of the contest and siding with a winner. The mainstream media has more respect for football contests than elections - they can't control what happens on the football field.

    Females in the family are supposed to be involved in birthing and the father too if he has any sense or guts. It is bonding, it is magic, it is miraculous and it is HUMAN.

    Too many damned lizard folks polluting the mindsets of the people!

    Golly Gee Whiz, Isn't War Amazing!!!!

    So how many dead Iraqis did you help kill today?

    Bubba isn't "them" - bubba os "all of us".

    Low class morons with no ethics who rewrite press releases hyping war are exactly the opposite of what one would expect at a place called Salon.

    Saloon, yes, Salon, no. Feel free to change the name, no charge.

    Surgically remove Saddam Hussein? That would have been chump change, no profit in that.

    There is nothing important about this war other than money going from taxpayers and lenders in China into the pockets of the defense contractors.

    But surely, before killing any fo the democratic leadership, he must certainly use extraordinary means inorder to discover where these traitors have secreted the constitution and the bill of rights so that our nation may be defended against those seditious documents!!!

    Torture? It isn't torture when Jack Bauer does it. It is democracy itself!!!

  • What about the other members of his team?

    Samantha Power's involvement suggests that he is not all bad. Others on the team do cause pause.

    She would make a swell Secretary of State. She also would make a better president than any of the current choices.
