ShawnWM nails it!!! Again. I'm going to start calling you the Hammer
Because you got me pegged man. Preach, brother preach. I love reading you rant. I may have my first man-crush...
And you are right. I have total "indifference to those struggling for survival." People, I presume, like you, Joan and Hillary.
I mean, I support a candidate that sat on a union busting board. I also support a candidate whose spouse helped dismantle the welfare system. I also support a candidate who backs NAFTA. Wait a minute, that's you!

The ranks are thinning
I have to say, I find it kind of amusing that we're now down to a small handful of diehard Hillary supporters in the comments section, as opposed to the 50-50 split we used to see on here only a couple of months ago. I used to wonder who made up the 14.5% of Intrade traders who are actually still gambling their own money on Hillary winning the primary. Now I know.

Well, you managed to get this much right
And you are right. I have total "indifference to those struggling for survival." People, I presume, like you, Joan and Hillary
I have no idea about Joan and your grade-school and petulant insistance that she's somehow a shill for Hillary is of no interest to me.
As for me, yes, I do care AND follow my words with actions.
Mrs. Clinton did too. She's got an entire lifetime of service to progressive causes and to helping the poor when the truth is it would have been far easier for both her and her husband to convert to Republican and spout about why it's good for America to have truckdrivers and waitresses in higher tax brackets than billionaires, like the rest of the southern Democrats than to take the hits they took from the GOP - and from the dumbshit left - to try to do something about America's real problems.
Why don't you try it instead of putting your moronic, buck-toothed, uneducated opinions on a public forum in vile font.

Items of importance
Avulcan: We are trying to protect the whole region from becoming more of a nuclear militarized zone.
Hillary was not using the attacks against Obama - she knows Democrats don't like negative attacks. The problem is whenever she brings up anything that you can guarantee - the Republicans will use - they try and make her look like the bad guy. She is just the messenger about electability.
Obama is more vulnerable to Republican attacks.
The attacks on Hillary and Bill are old news.
They have all been used before.
The attacks on Obama have only just begun.
The attacks on Obama are not old news.
They have not been tried before.
Barack is more vulnerable with swing voters because there are so many questions about him. Whereas people know that Bill's administration was one of the most socio-economically successful we've ever had - so they know Hillary knows what it takes to deliver.
Swing voters have different priorities than the media. Swing voters want someone they KNOW can deliver. Or, at least someone they KNOW.

The ABC Debate Debacle
I've spent the last two days being knee-deep reading people's responses to the ABC "debate." The so-called debate, by a land-slide of respondents considered ABC's handling of non-issues reprehensible. How did those questions that had been answered before become "tough questions" for Obama? I believe that the questions were mor inane and insulting than tough. It was also reprehensible for ABC not to identify George's affiliation to the Clintons.
The story isn't that Obama didn't answer the hard questions, the question is why aren't you questioning ABC like 99% of the respondents who were so inflamed by the debate and how Gibson and George avoided the real hard issues, like the war, the economy, health care, the state of care for the returning veterans, ad infinitum? The Rev. Wright has been explained and is a dead horse. The man wasonce a marine and served his country that treated him like a dog because he's black. Get over it! And Obama's affilation with a so-called terrorist, oh how many years ago?
John Stewart had it right - the man, meaning Obama, speaks to us like we're adults and we act like children when understanding what he has to say. The point is, we as American citizen's deserved better than what was served up on the ABC debate.

BurleeD and the bot version of helping folks and progressive causes
The obamabot commitment to helping America:
Dividing the progressive party in two, attacking the most successful Democratic administration since FDR, working furiously to ensure the weakest candidate wins the primary and blogging on moveon.org in a bathrobe.

So true
The problem is whenever she brings up anything that you can guarantee - the Republicans will use - they try and make her look like the bad guy. She is just the messenger about electability.
Obama is more vulnerable to Republican attacks.
The attacks on Hillary and Bill are old news.
They have all been used before.

Swing voters have different priorities than the media. Swing voters want someone they KNOW can deliver. Or, at least someone they KNOW.
It's just worth repeating because it's so so very true.

Dataguyx, I'm off to bed now but I'll leave you with this thought.
Your postings are prolific but I'm not exactly enamoured. Nonetheless, you made a reasonable statement when you said that Ayers'activities go back forty years. Neither you nor I know whether the American involvement in Vietnam (previously French Indo-China) was justified, although now I have my suspicions. Apart from all that, John McCain had to sacrifice five years of his young life in support of the American flag. Maybe he was right/maybe he was wrong. I would not judge him because, in the main, I'm not into that judgmental malarkey. But I can see this unfolding....McCain, a prisoner of the Vietcong and now a senior citizen, goes up against a junior Senator whose political career was expedited by a subversive, William Ayers, who was planting explosives at that time. If I know that, living thousands of miles away from you and having seen pictires of Ayers in custody as a young man, why aren't you even more informed, living in America. The information is freely available on the internet.
Maybe, while you're at it, you could look at a video of "Casablanca" and listen to the immortal words "Of all the bars in all the world" because it reminds me of Barack. Of all the people in all the world, how come it was Ayers and Dohrn who favoured this man? Do your homework, please. I'm Irish and I know what bombs can do to civilians. We were helpless while it was going on and I don't care what visages their political masters now present to the world I'll neither forgive them nor vote for them. So. William Ayers is now a profeesor of English, is he? Big deal!. If I ever met him (which God forbid) I'd knock his professorship of English into a cocked hat. Now good-night to all of you and sleep tight because this playgirl of the western world has to go to bed,
