It was treason
[Read the article: Obama advisor calls Clinton a "monster," apologizes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Treason is defined "giving aid and comfort to the enemy"
By that standard, Hillary's pimping of McCain and down-grading of Obama is treason.
I am a democrat. I will vote for the Democratic nominee. Is Hillary a Democrat? Do democrats PIMP republicans?
I have NEVER in my entire adult life (56) heard a candidate for one party hurt someone in their own party and PROMOTE someone in the other party.
It's treason. She should be DRUMMED OUT of the Democratic Party.

Bill Clinton said
[Read the article: Obama advisor calls Clinton a "monster," apologizes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that Hillary needed to win TX and OH to stay in.
She lost TX. Obama got more delegates.
When can we expect the concession speech?

Politics vs Knowledge
[Read the article: Obama advisor Power resigns]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I'm not proud of what happened today. It makes me sad that Samantha Power resigned because she is a smart person who did something quite stupid. It was an impolitic remark. I don't see how it is any worse than Clinton on-record comparing Obama to Ken Starr (by her own admission, Starr is a monster). But clearly these remarks while understandable off the record in the heat of a tight campaign, otherwise were seriously wrong to make."
The problem with these folks is that they don't understand where politics begins and where expertise ends. Politics begins when you appear in public, unfortunately. If you appear in public, no one gives a crap if you are Jesus Christ. If you make an impolitic statement about the Canaanites, you get crucified, AGAIN, whether you are the son of god or not.
When you are in public, you must be very very very careful. Some years ago, I got involved in a suit against the school board, and learned in a hurry not to say ANYTHING in public. Regardless of what you said, you would get quoted out of context.
So, if you are a public person (that is, if you are an important aide to a Big Cheese like Obama), there is NO PRIVATE SPACE. NONE. You must NEVER say anything that could be remotely considered heated, nasty or anything else. Unless, of course, you are a Hillary thug, in which case people don't care if you say all kinds of nasty things about Obama - like accuse him of Ken Starr tactics.

If you're a Democrat in a Repub district
[Read the article: Democrat wins former Speaker Hastert's seat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]call your congressperson's office monday, and say, "Remember IL-14. Remember Foster. We're coming for YOU in November."
This election is HUGE. This result is AMAZING. This is a BIG DEAL.

The Clintonistas must think that we are VERY stupid
[Read the article: Obama takes Wyoming]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When Barack loses a state in a PRIMARY election, he will in most cases not lose that state in the General. The Democrat is going to win NY, CA, IL, VT, NJ, DE, CT, OR, WA, MI, WI, ME, NH, MA, MD, and DC. I don't give a CRAP about how much Obama lost these by. These are Democratic states. If Democrats vote for the Democratic candidate, the Democrat will win these states.
Obama might win NV, AZ, NM, CO, UT, NE, KS, MT, and MO. He is very competitive in these. Hillary will probably NOT carry these. She might get CO and NM. The rest, doubtful.
The Clintonistas continually say that since Barack did not win the primary, he will not win the GE. This is stupid, and anyone saying this is stupid, to put it clearly and unambiguously.
He will carry these UNLESS the Clinton supporters support McCain. This could happen. It would be insane, of course. One simple point: McCain is pro-life, and his election would mean the end of choice. Of course, since most Clinton supporters are old women, they often don't care anymore about choice. They are in many cases just a bunch of bitter whiners, and they might defect.
So, if a Clintonista threatens the loss of a CLEARLY BluE state, they are either a bitter whiner, or a liar.

2 other districts
[Read the article: Democrat wins former Speaker Hastert's seat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]IL-10 - I grew up there. It is now being contested by Dan Seals (a Barack Obama look-alike, light black guy, young family) vs Mark Kirk. Kirk has got to be sweatin' - he beat Seals by 53-47 in 2006, but this should energize Seals' forces, and bring out the leaners. If Obama is on the ballot, I think this will go D.
IL-18 - Roy LaHood is retiring. This seat looks a LOT like IL-14. Pretty much the same type of district, just not in Chicago suburbs. No incumbent, Dem year - could easily go Dem. The only thing missing is a wack nutjob like Oberweis as the Republican.

Clintonistas
[Read the article: Obama, Clinton and the black-brown divide]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Mrs. Clinton has consistently won the popular vote and therefore clearly would deserve to lead even if the obamateur's inexperience were not the glaring problem it is to anyone who isn't wearing the koolaide glasses."
Nope. Wrong. Of course, you're a Clintonista, and required to lie, dissemble and tell lies.
But right now Barack has the lead in the popular vote. That's why, you moronic troll, he has a lead in delegates of 150 committed delegates.

This is what FISA is for
[Read the article: Who cares if Eliot Spitzer hires prostitutes?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Listening in to private conversations. Busting guys for hiring prostitutes.

Mann act
[Read the article: Report: Spitzer was starting point for prostitution ring investigation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Crossing state lines to engage in prostitution-related activities. Conspiring with others to do same by making arrangements on the telephone.
Sounds exactly like what happened here. Spitzer is probably gonna be disbarred, might go to prison for 5.
It's really a shame. I admired this guy.

Click on the link
[Read the article: Targeting bad Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sign the petition. Give them some money - I gave some, not much but some.
We must nip the fascist state in the bud. We do NOT need more spying, more warrantless intrusion.

The NY GOP is on the ropes
[Read the article: More reports that Spitzer resignation will come soon]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They are a dead party. They are supported by brain dead moronic geezers. No Republican in office in NY is under the age of 70.
They hold the Senate. That's all they have left, and they lost a key seat last month that had been Repukeliscumian since 1908.
This is the issue that will ressurect them, they think. Expect them to play it for all they have left. I still expect the Senate to go Dem this next election. But expect repulsive, scummy nauseating shit for the next 10 months.
