Rick Warren has not changed one iota from where he has always said he believed. Why be disappointed by him? He should feel honored that the president-elect asked him to give his invocation. It provides Obama with big name recognition, something Obama admires more than anything and approval from people who often don't approve of Obama. Joan, I am more disappointed in you. You allowed your friends at Salon.com to support Obama and you yourself turned against Hillary and supported him too. Obama has always been about focusing attention on himself and not much else. It was clear throughout the campaign and is true now. Selecting Rick Warren allows Obama to eat up more news time and gain attention from more people. The focus is once again on him. I am not waiting for Obamabots to turn against him, the furor over FISA didn't last too long. I continue to feel disgust for what the Democrats have become. I still consider myself a liberal democrat but not as a party affiliation. What happened this year is nothing but a poor excuse for a presidential election. It was basically run for and by corporations so that they could make more bang for their buck and get some entertainment value out of it. The country's government has become nothing but another prime time reality show.

Do you remember last week when you called Sarah Palin every name in the book, including Dominatrix? Barack seems to be having a better week this week, but he was the politician who next to Christopher Dodd took more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. McCain has taken less money. Lehman Bros. has been involved with Rezco. Obama's hands aren't clean financially either. Illinois' economy is bad while Arizona has one of the most vibrant economies in the country.

Obama people, even New York State is going for McCain. Instead of stealing ballot sheets at Caucuses and locking Hillary supporters out and ignoring her wins in Kentucky, West Virginia or giving votes she received in Michigan to Obama, you guys should have supporting her. Now for the first time in history, a political party will have had its candidate win the White House three terms in a row.

I am not a Democratic Congresswoman so I don't have to fear backlash from Obama and his followers. I think that many of Obama followers and Obama feel bad that that they didn't have the savvy to ask Hillary Clinton to be VP. It's pretty obvious that Obama and his followers think with their ego and not with their heads. I am glad that Hillary is not VP because I would have had to vote for Obama though I would have been very uncomfortable about it. This way I can free to vote as I choose. If the Democratic Party ever gets itself together and stops acting like some immature 20 year olds trying to start a "revolution" or a "movement" maybe I'll come back but until then the Republicans will get my presidential vote. For the first time ever!

Salon's diatribe will be until November will be about getting Barack Obama elected. Why? With pat answers like - because he's so cool, everybody likes him, the Republicans are evil, McCain is so old, etc. they'll never get anywhere. People have heard that stupid stuff time and time again. They're tired of it. It's like young kids were put in charge of running election and got away with it for a little while and are shocked when the grown ups aren't buying it anymore. The Democrats are as corrupt as any Republican party and are just more stupid about it. They just justify it by calling others stupid and get psyched out everytime.

I have watched the Democratic party break all their own rules and by laws to force Barack Obama on the rest of the Democrats in a way that was undemocratic and never going to produce an kind of "party unity". The delegates for Hillary were forced to break their pledges which they were elected to, were discouraged from even coming to the convention and intimidated into taking a "loyalty oath" for Barack Obama if they still insisted on coming. The so called roll call was a fake frought with behind the scenes intimidation and gerrymandering. It was not even completed and was considered "symbolic" anyway. Of course, there is no such thing as a "symbolic" roll call in Democratic party rules. Now Salon and other truly leftist media is running scared because their annoited candidate isn't being bought by much of the public anymore. McCain solidified his base by choosing Sarah Palin and was very respectful of women by choosing her. She may not share some beliefs about abortion choice I have but she is strong, hard working and has achieved some things in her life. She has a stronger record than Obama who is the Democratic presidential candidate and has little record beyond running for office. I'm definitely voting Republican this year and many other Democrats who were supposed to be intimidated into some fake unity pack will too.

I believe this writer is pissed, because Obama is losing and rightfully so. Sarah Palin is a feminist and a woman who doesn't agree with abortion. While I don't share the same views, I hardly think that she is a Stepford wife in a sexy librarian costume. That is flat out misogyny. The left is morally bankrupt choosing to be flattered by a fake candidate who was nothing but hot air and then the rage at the fact the other side has more substance. Every thing Obama and his followers say about Palin is something they should have said about themselves. It's like looking in the mirror. The Democratic Party is a disgrace and I hope they lose big time. If Obama loses, I want Reid, Pelosi and Dean to go with him. What a pathetic party.
