@billcap: Eating our own dogfood
Do you people even read what your write?
Sadly, a lot of it is indistinguishable from a lot of prose written by pro hillary folks. I'd bring up that old chestnut about us being primates whose hair has fallen off, but that might offend our distant relatives.

@gezellingtexas
Hey, it's all right. I was pretty sure you didn't mean what you said about supporting the candidate with the most Democratic votes. Of course you didn't; you want to maintain the mythos of Obama being the will of "the people" when in fact he isn't, and won't be in June.
He's the winner of more delegates; not the same thing. The person that a majority of Democrats have chosen is Hillary and by June she will have a lead in the popular vote even when counting in all the "independents and moderate Republicans" who came to our Party to vote for the guy they'll never support in November.
Whet your axe all you need to, but please don't help hew down the Democratic Party.

"Why won't the media cover Clinton's Bosnia sniper fire lie?"
There have been 2 reports in War Room in addition to numerous newspaper stories about Clinton's Bosnia sniper fire story. I hardly think you can fairly suggest that there is a media coverup. So... while we're on the subject, would you like to tell us about all of the time Obama spent in war zones, regardless of whether his safety was in danger or not?

@ billcap
"She already lost Bill Richardson because of the type of campaign she's been running against him"
luckily we can all read minds and know exactly why people are doing what they're doing
I can only read minds when they're spoken in interviews:

Awesome.

Wow, seems a bit Obama sided on here
This is sad! What Hillary has done in this election is tried to win, just like Senator Obama. If you guys would stop trying your hardest to eliminate her, and let the process go forward, we would all be better served. Just stop hating, please, there is enough of that from Republicans to go around!

Obama and warzones
[...] would you like to tell us about all of the time Obama spent in war zones, regardless of whether his safety was in danger or not?
The Congressional Delegation or "CODEL" as the state department calls it, has now wrapped two days in Iraq. Senator Barack Obama was among four members of Congress Sunday flying to areas outside the safety of the green zone to meet with American and Iraqi military commanders on the ground.

No word from Obama on if he thought it was like shopping in Nebreska.

Sniper fire was a "misspeak"

Clinton liars
"This is sad! What Hillary has done in this election is tried to win, just like Senator Obama."
Hillary has been singularily divisive and dismissive of Obama. Cite me ONE example where Obama says a nice thing about McCain and a nasty one about Hillary. Fact is, the flaws are on Hillary's side here. Her scorched-earth campaign has FAR outstepped the bounds of decent primary behavior.
If she campaigned in a reasonable manner, many of us would be less annoyed. But her campaign has not been fair, balanced or good for the Democratic Party.

@billcap The most right peculiar Rev. Huckabee
That has to be one of the funniest things I've read in here in quite a bit. Huckabee wouldn't be so bad if you could get rid of the Theocracy spiel. That's a deal killer. I'll keep my church and state separate, thank you very much.

Tainted Wins
The problem is the win is even more tainted than Bush's 2000 "win"
Care to tell us how, or was that just another creative use of Clintonite hyperbole? I didn't see the Texas supreme court declare any winners. All I saw was a bunch of Democrats at our local elementary school caucusing for Obama, and him winning Texas according to the rules.
Because it states that some votes are far more important than others.
We are a nation that is founded upon the notion that all people are equal and there votes should count equally. One of the few times we actually achieve this ideal, is during most elections.
Rich or poor, intelligent or not, your vote is one vote. That’s all.
What Texas did is say, your vote will count more if you have the time to come back and vote again.
It’s anti-Democratic and frankly indefensible.
A caucus is bad enough, as it greatly favors those with time, but to declare a primary invalid because of it is even worse.
But, since you seem to be defending the issue, I guess you’ll have no problems with super-delegates voting for Clinton and giving her the nomination.
It’s bad enough that super-delegates will be selecting our nominee, it’s worse when people claim a 3% loss is a victory because people got to vote twice, and their second vote counted for more.
Making the argument that you’ve won an election, by keeping two huge important States from voting, and that you’re ahead in delegates counting times when you lost popular vote but gained more delegates, is the same as G.W. Bush.
You’re playing games with the election in order to advance yourself, and it’s wrong.
The worst thing Obama’s camp has done is effectively veto Florida and Michigan from revoting.

more hypocritical obama comments
When it's suggested that being black has helped him with
this campaign he denies it and claims being black
doesn't help anyone in this country (or goddamn
country if you prefer).
Then when it's suggested being black is going to hurt
him in the real presidential election he objects.
So is it a hinderence or not? He can't have it both ways.
Obama lies when it suits him.
For all his talk of change and running a "different kind of campaign"
he and Edwards have run the two most negative and slanderous campaigns
against a fellow Democrat I have ever seen.
