You know what? Fuck it. This election has been, for many, a groundbreaking experience. Interesting, wonderful, inspiring, awful, heartbreaking things have taken place. As a country we are wrestling with our better selves AND our inner demons.

But put that aside because this is not just about that. The Republican Party and their cronies are literally driving the human race toward extinction. They will never honestly face global warming, the end of the rain forests and rising oceans. They want nothing more than to aggravate and plunder the economically developing nations of the world. All they want from Iraq is to make a buck. Religious or not, they are all on a suicide mission that sucks everyone else down the drain with them.

If we can't come together and win this, not just for ourselves but for the rest of the world, we might be as stupid as they say we are.

Remember guys, the whole world is watching and waiting for us to make the right choice.

If only Joan could see that this example is only one of many where she simply interpreted the way she wanted to interpret, saw what she wanted to see, and heard things the way she wanted to hear them to justify the fact she feels bad Clinton lost."

I definitely agree. Of course he has met with her. He has been, and continues to be, thoughtful towards his opponent. Whenever some scandal has occurred such as Reverend Wrightgate, she has obsessed over it and wagged her finger at Obama. And then Clinton made the slip of the tongue about RFK's assassination and, not only did she dismiss it, but she went on Hardball to defend Hillary, blaming the Obama camp for spinning the story (as if Clinton's aides were blameless for the media reaction to Wrightgate). According to Walsh, Clinton's statement was an unfortunate slip of the tongue.

Now you can say these things all you want, but Walsh will not hear this. Instead, she will take the meanest, most trivial attacks on her person and say THOSE represent the opposition.

You know, I believe that the Democratic party should unite. I really do. But when operatives like Joan continue to shill for the Clintons the way she has, it doesn't make the process any easier.

I stopped reading the article the moment it described American healthcare as the best in the world. It is if you are apart of the wealthy elite. Yeah, we have great healthcare for those people. But the millions of children without any healthcare, who are forced to treat their ills in the emergency rooms of American hospitals? They might not agree.

By the way Indigo, I noticed that you began posting in May, copiously and only on the topic of Obama/Hillary. Is there any particular reason? Are you just here to goad Obama supporters? You're doing a good job of it.

It still amazes me that someone who has

-United States Senator

-Illinois State Senator

-University of Chicago Law Professor, and

-Editor of the Harvard Law Review

on his resume still has it called "slim" as though he just finished up a stint temping in a mail room of an accounting firm in Topeka.

And at 46, he's called "young." He'll take office older than both Jack Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

Exactly.

And don't forget is work in activism:

*

1983-1988 Director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Greater Roseland on Chicago's South Side.

*

1992 Led Chicago's Project Vote! push. This effort resulted in a record number of voter registrations, over 600,000 in Chicago.

And, Mr. Garrison, it would seem that Obama's career is decidedly more action-packed than your average 40-something.

You're gonna have refine your McCain drawings. He looks a lot like Cheney, and what happens if you want to put them in the same sketch? Think long term!

You sucks can suck it. THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! I was duly blown away.

Xrandadu Hutman, that's no wind machine. She's standing near the coast where the weather is very windy.

The success of both the smears and Obama's refutations lie in repetition. By way of example: Bush convinced Americans that Iraq was involved in 9-11 through sophisticated media strategies, but what it boiled down to was repetition. If you repeat the lie often enough people will believe.

Certainly Obama's only method of information control should not rest in these websites alone. But anything that allows for repetition of information is probably good for him.

But, yeah, I agree that it is not a good idea to ask readers to give the Obama campaign their passwords. That's weird, and anybody with any understanding of internet safety would agree.

One of your best yet. Yup.

This little nonentity of a story really tells us what the term "patriotism" currently means to our country:

-Wave the Flag.

-Don't criticize.

-Brainlessly echo the opinions of the ruling elite.

-Be happy.

It's awfully strange, too. Americans love to tout our country as being Home of Free Speech, where Democracy flourishes. And if this were true then it wouldn't much matter WHAT the wives of our presidential hopefuls say. She didn't make a snafu, like suggesting that it would be kosher to occupy Iraq for 100 years.
