Don't blame San Francisco for Obama's "Bittergate"

Candidates pander to wealthy donors in every city, not just mine!

Well Let's Just Say

With the results from the other big states, it's understandable that the Obama campaign wants no part of Florida or Michigan.

"Springsteen Endorses Obama: "He Speaks To The America I've Envisioned In My Music""

I think obama's stregth is this, amoung others. Many young people have been raised in america. A differant america than our fathers and mothers. The america we know and love was an ideal. When we grow-up we realize it was all a lie. Equality. American values. Freedom. Justice. Accountability. Law and order. all of it a lie.

The only thing that matters, we learn later is money. The love of it, what people will do for it.

In america, who can you trust? In this so called "chrsitian nation". You cannot trust anyone. Children cannot trust their parents and vice versa. Neighbors cannot trust neighbors. you people have created a fascist police state. you can trust nobody. Who is not trying to get something from you? Why do "nice guys finish last", in a christian nation?

this is why obama's supports varies so. He speaks to the ideal american once was, before the clintons and and bush's. Justice. Peace. fairness. American values. Bush didn't destroy all of this himself. He had help.Who will fix the damage the gop has done, clinton included?

Who can restore american to it's prominance and back to what it was destined to be? No one man. We must take small steps. Many people are destroying america and the nation for profit. Who has the tools to beat them back. The traitors? who wants to fight them?

America was/is an ideal. It has been corrupted. Bth parties are to blame. Buh just accelerated our dwonfall. We have a choice. Continue down the path the gop and the clintons made for us, or not. But what is the new path,a nd how do we get there?

Not attack and discredit me. Just trying to be real and let you knwo why obama is doing what he's doing. It's not a cult. It's not a buch of gay people loving him. It's US loving america. the america we grew up in, that no longer exists. The values. the ideals.

What do we have now. No justice (no doj). No truth. Nothing but whatever you must do to get money. Ever hear of benidict arnold? Selling your coutnry out for money used to be called treason.

We are restoring america to prominace, much to the sabotuers dismay. Much to the divide and conquer crowds dismay. Why can you trust no one? And how do you replace the current model with a new one? Must you create a new man/woman? YES. Must you fight the old way for the new/future? YES. Must you marginalize and point out those who divide us for profit and fight for the old gaurd? Yes.

don't hate and blame us gop, I mean clinton supporters. You lied to us. The america we know and love, does not exist. But it will. you'll thank us later. :)

Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I found you.

This is to applaud your reasoned tone. Your words are not clubs but attempts at conversation. You strike me as someone trying to figure things out. So many pundits come across as hysterics. Your sometime appearance on Hardball remains the proverbial pause that refreshes. Next to Matthews, you’re practically Solomon-esque.

WES is here all week...

"didja here about Obama? He is outspending Clinton 4 to 1 and still behind in PA...by 4-6% points, making Clinton's probable win mean less...oh wait, here's a good one, Obama said - get this - people are bitter and guess what? uhhh..no real change in polling...okay, okay...uhh, remember the shot Clinton took?

The Notorious W.E.S.

But your own candidate initially started off agreeing with the DNC on MI and FL. But as always her goal posts keeping changing. MI and FL were not any of Obama's doing so why blame him? Come on WES you are smarter than that. You can't change the line of scrimmage just because Hilary doesn't know how to run.

"REpent admit mistakes, say sorry and lets move forward together."

Ha! I wondered how long it be before the more fervent Obama supporters would be telling the Clinton supporters to repent.

And you wonder why we think some of you sound like members of a cult?

"REPENT AND YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN."

Oh sure. Now we understand that we will not see the face of God if we continue to support Hillary Clinton because she is the she-devil.

This is going beyond cultish to just plain nutty.

America would lose with either Clinton or Obama.

In selecting your Presidential candidate, please reflect on the dire consequences of a docile retreat before a relatively small band of Islamic extremists; and, attempt to formulate your own opinion as to the most prudent course of action in the defense of our Nation. It might assist to consider the following scenario: the infiltration of a group of terrorists similar to the Atta cabal with a quantity of weaponized anthrax procured from a rogue state; the acquisition of a single crop-duster aircraft fitted with a dry-agent disseminator; and, the dispersal of that dangerous toxin over an American population center. The loss of American life would be catastrophic. -Or-, is it preferable to pre-empt such fanatics by destroying them on their home turf, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, BEFORE they secure the capacity to threaten our homeland? The latter is in fact a key element in current American strategy. Is it advisable to support any candidate who would reverse course and sacrifice the impressive gains against Islamofacists that young Americans have shed their precious blood to achieve? The fact that we have not experienced another 9/11 is not a by-chance occurrence. Further, it's critical to appreciate the pivotal role that our own border security plays in our "war against terrorism", keeping in mind that "Amnesty" is anathema to border security. A Nation without enforceable borders will not long survive as a Nation. The policies espoused by both Clinton and Obama would grievously damage our Nation's National Security Interests; and, intensify America's vulnerabilities to terrorist activities. As history has repeatedly taught with grim consequences, PEACE is won only THRU STRENGTH; and, NOT THRU the nebulous psychosis of HOPE. Greg Neubeck
