The land of the free.
take your guilt and anger and stick it.
I personally am sick of the DNC and the congress that has done nothing since they won the house
they can not even work a week with out taking time off for some bull crap
Nancy P is the biggest joke around
The DNC is doing nothing and Obama will do nothing, I don't care what he SAYS he will do, he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
I am going to protest and I hope others will too, maybe if we speak loud enough and not cave in to the crap slung around here, we might see some changes made in this party!
I personally could give a s*** in what you think about this
I do not loose sleep at night because of Obama and his minions
I will work hard to make sure Obama looses
he is has a huge ego he is just like George W Bush
I voted for Al Gore who I could not stand and I voted for John Kerry who I could not stand because I am a dem that they were on the ticket, well NOT this time!!
This whole process has been bull.
Hillary Clinton was not my first choice or even second choice
but Obama is not on my list AT ALL
Well, have at it.
Sounds like the Republican Party is where you've belonged all along (and probably HAVE been actually).

You seem to forget its not just about 4 more years. McCain's Supreme court appointments could reshape America for the next 25 to 30 years and not in a good way! You also suggest that we have 4000 more troops to sacrifice to the war and to mortgage our country to China so that our great grand children will still be paying the debt. I am not willing to see my children or grandchilden killed or maimed in this unnecessary war which does nothing except strengthen Iran and the extremists in the Arab world.

Pepto won't restore our constitutional democracy; our reputation in the world; rebuild our military, provide universal health care; rebuild highways; restore a sane process to the inspection of meats, imports, energy etc.

It is about much more than four years. Pepto wont bring back the dead Americans from the battle fields.

Remember the crazy Democrat from Georgia who turned Republican and ranted and railed at the last Republican convention Zeb or something like that. This sounds like someone of the same persuasion and god forbid that the Democratic Party try to keep the nut cakes satisfied.....the progressive Republicans couldn't even do that!!!!

Like voting present?

Anyhoo, I'm enjoying watching the Democrats tear at each others' throats.

Even though touted as the next messiah, Baraka Hussein will not bring back the 4,000 either. In fact, under his marxist regime more death and destruction can be expected right here on our soil. Look for it, no doubt shortly after "tea" with the enemy.

NPR just had a discussion on the Diane Reem show about this. Seems a few callers acknowledge that both Clinton and Obama have the same basic ideas on policy, but they're voting for the person, not just the policies. That's why you'll lose Hillary voters to McCain, not because they're "bad" Democrats. I guess party loyalty is more important to some Democrats than they'd like to admit.

teatime, your posts and positions make no sense b/c one minute you deny being a Hillary supporter but the next time around clearly express yourself as a bitter Clinton supporter - i have to give it up to 100% Michigan, s/he has been a proud Clinton supporter throughout this campaign while you appear to be as fake as you can get.

In 1964 the Republicans nominated an extremist from the right, Barry Goldwater. MANY MANY SMART Republicans thankfully voted against their party and voted for John F. Kennedy.

Goldwater ran against LBJ, not Kennedy. Kennedy was dead by then.
