    If the radical right wing Clinton supporters really want McCain, go ahead. The guy is dumber than a doornail. Can't get his facts straight 95 % of the time. So basically whoever is vice president will run the country. Not that that is a big change. But those radicals at the rules committee yesterday scared me. I was half afraid someone brought a gun and would shoot someone there. They don't want the vote counted either. So they make no sense.

    I find it interesting that based on this article, there were not many protesters from michigan or florida. I would think that if floridians or michigan voters were so upset, they'd be there protesting.

    No Joemama you are not a terrorist at all....but a proud American who has served our dear nation well! It's good to have quality Americans like yourself ... on the "RIGHT WINNING" side.

    I am amazed at the low IQ of Americans that following Hillary Clinton today. I say this due to the fact that these Democrats are willing to vote "Republican" come November if their candidate is not selected. Now please look at the image of on top part of this Web page. .... I rest my case!

      We will vote for McCain not because of HRC, we will vote FOR him because he clearly dominates the Sissy OBAMA in every measure you wish to use.

      He is a uniter that crosses the party lines, and he has done it. Whenever BOBAMA had a chance to do it he hid in his corner.

      He understands Foireign affairs. OBAMA spent kindergarden in Indonesia does not speak the local language and claims he is an expert ....

        OK...we all choose to believe what we want!

        You have your reasons and I respect that. Need I remind you on McCain's unfavorable comments on both internal economic as well as foreign affiars. Its fascinating to see that there are still folks like yourself out there potentially supporting the "Republican Party" despite what they have done to our country, which has lost 1) Its credibility overseas 2) economic might 3) job market strength and loss of financial reserves.

        I speak six languages (English, German, Dutch, Italian, Russia & Finnish) and in all languages... the results remain the same adn I ask you to please WAKE UP!

        Kiitos (Thanks in Finnish)

          I support MCCain and not the Republican party.

          Not everyone is a party loyalist. We can use our indepoendent judgement.

          I speak more languages than you and have traveled and spent time in over 50 countries, so just give me credit that I know what I am talking about.

    Hillary supporters are really Repugs anyways. I mean seriously, there aren't a whole lot diff. between McCain and Hillary.

    So no surprise the racist hags will vote for McCain this Nov.

    Screw 'em!

  • Posted By: joe_mama @ 06/01/2008 5:33:36 AM

    Why I have absolutely no respect for Hillary Clinton:

    1) Poor, stupid white people have admitted they will not vote for an African American. Clinton could have (publicly, at least) chastised them and reminded them that we're all Democrats and we're all Americans. Instead, she said, in effect, --see? white people won't support Obama.

    2. Although he has been ripped for his membership in a Christian Church, people still think Obama is Muslim. Rather than dismissing that as rumor and innuendo, Clinton has reinforced by saying he doesn't wear a lapel pin, therefore he's not a true patriot (and by insinuation...a Muslim).

    3. Rather than call on her supporters to remain loyal to the Democratic Party, she has all but encouraged them to vote for McCain. Some of us consider this the "if I can't be team captain I'm taking my ball and going home" approach.

    4. Ready or not, Obama has brought energy, excitement and new life to the Democratic Party. Rather than praise him for that, she has chastised him by saying his supporters won't make a difference in the swing states. She has also suggested that his supporters won't carry him victory in big states like California and New York, which is completely obsurd.


    In short, rather than elevate herself above the fray, she is rolling around neck deep in the muck. She would rather see the party splinter than see someone else get the nomination.

    Obama, on the other hand, has consistantly said that the important thing, whoever the nominee, is to beat McCain.

    So go ahead, Clintonians, stage your coup and steal the nomination....you might even win the election...you'll also destroy the party in the process, so start preparing those excuses right now (I'm sure it was all Obama's fault).

    PS--I served tours in the both Gulf Wars and I never wear a lapel pin....am I a terrorist too?

    Hahahahaha.............LOL..

    Desperate people do nasty things. They can go to hell who cares.

    God has spoken
    America has spoken
    Democratic Party has spoken
    The people have spoken

    Obama is the nominee.
    Anybody who does not like this idea can go to hell or cut his or her throat.

    It is not about names...It is about having the sense of telling the people the truth and what you can do for America. Obama did exactly the same without using "names" to bully and to insult people". Obama will win come November.

    God bless Obama!!!

    Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and a Easter Bunny...and it's Hillary Clinton! At least that's what Jacksmith and the other Clinton supporters (who apparently have been drinking the kool-aid) would have you believe. Reading his post acutally made me understand how easy it is to dupe the American public. His description of Hillary Clinton as this historic fighter for the American people is a laugh riot...The Clinton's are out for the Clinton's first. And before you dismiss this as another Obama supporter, I have been a lifelong Republican, who has been spending his money supporting John McCain. Waching and listening to Sen. Obama, has given me pause, and even consider voting for him. It is so funny watching the Clinton's try to spin this their way, First the votes don't count, oh wait, I'm losing, we need to count every vote...and don't look at the numbers, don't count the caucuses...I'm the most electable candidate....

    Believe me, nothing would make the Republicans more happy than facing "Billary" this November...no one else could engerize the Republican base more and get them out to vote other than your "galant" fighter for the American people. Keep drinking her Kool-aid and believing her dribble. Besides you have to know what the definition of "IS", is.....

    The DNC and MSNBC and NBC now have their candidedate. The party and the lap dog media decided who would be the candidate and who we could vote for. If we do not vote like you tell us you will not count our votes. Olberman, Russett, Matthews have spoken. Sounds like communism to me. So much for media objectivity. The PARTY has spoken!!!! The MEDIA tells us the party line. Everybody bend over. We just got _ _ _ _ ed!!!!

  • Posted By: Interested! @ 05/31/2008 10:02:39 PM

    gmarie.... We are democrats, never are we a democratIC party. This nation is a REPUBLIC, not a democracy...... No wonder you are so confused...you don't understand much. As for who is the fool?

    I, WILL NOT^ vote for Obama. Not in this life time. I have always voted democrat ticket but this time I will bow out, and not vote for a president. I will vote for the person on the rest of the ticket. So says this OLD 64 Year old woman. Had enough of Michele Obama ALREADY. And they call Hillary 'thunder thighs'? How about Michele being called 'thunder butt'!!! I am sick of hearing her talk about HER kids. Her this and Her that, BS. See needs to go home and 'bake some cookies' .... for HER kids.

    • Posted By: gmarie @ 05/31/2008 10:28:24 PM

      I beg your pardon. I am in the field of education and understand fully the difference between a Republic and a Democracy. I used the word "democratic" to describe my voting tendency and as a well-accepted (albeit erroneous in fundamental meaning) adjective to describe fairness in voting behavior. I am not a fool for wanting our country to be in better stewardship than it has been for the past eight years. I am not a fool for vowing to vote for either Clinton or Obama - either Democrat - over a Republican who promises to continue tax cuts for the wealthy and to keep sending our young boys to a war we should have never started. I am not a fool for caring more about the environment and universal health care than I do about petty grievances in this primary process. Who's the FOOL?

      Interested has decided not to vote because Michelle Obama talk's about her family?

      Kind of incredible that the sour opinions of Hillary supporters have them so frustrated they are making ridiculously ontological decisions based on nothing, and then to appalling insult. 64, and you act about 7....

    You and NBC have pushed this racist sexist on us. Shows how racist and sexist you are. You and the DNC think this is Communist Russia where the news and the party decide who we vote for and do not count the votes if we do not agree!! No need to watch Olberman, Russett, Matthews now. They have kissed Obama's butt and he is the choice

    Ego is gone, and I am still voting Hillary or MCCain.

    • Posted By: evanatha @ 05/31/2008 10:17:47 PM

      A vote for Mccain instead of Hillary or Obama =Hello continued war, hello more foreclosures, hello more loss of freedoms, hello more without health insurance, hello poverty. Hello back alleys, goodbye mother earth, hello higher gas prices and winter fuel costs etc. Sounds so appealing

      • Posted By: bluebird @ 05/31/2008 11:05:01 PM

        YOu can blame Sen. Obama for that cuz he won't be able to close the deal.

  • Posted By: MLBEncinitas @ 05/31/2008 10:07:41 PM

    ClaraM- if you are still voting McCain (because the primary is now basically over) as retaliation for your candidate losing (FAIRLY), then you are a sad, bitter, lost cause.

    • Posted By: ClaraM @ 05/31/2008 10:11:40 PM

      If I am a sad lost bitter cause then you a very sad lost cause for supporting an Anti-American person. You are no AMERICAN

      • Posted By: Thevail @ 06/01/2008 3:41:18 AM

        But Obama is the new face of America..and almost 2 million of us supported his campaign financially.

        Many more than that are involved politically but had no extra money and instead had primary parties, put out voter registration materials in public location, ran actual voter registration drives, put up yard signs, talked to our friends and neighbors.

        I really can't see how any of that is un-american. Don't be silly.

    Democratic Nominee: Barack Obama unfortunately (a short victory dance by supporters will take place)

    Summer/early Fall event: The Vetting of Barack Obama past and present (e.g. product of the Chicago south side Political Machine (Mayor Daley, Axelrod, Rezko, blah,, list goes on)

    Presidential winner in Nov: John McCain.
    At least we wont have to look at Michelles mug for 4 yrs; McCains wife is a hottie compared to Baracks wife.

    Reaction of Obama supporters: Racist voters reason why Obama doesnt win. I can just see it now. It cant be because certain segments of the voters just (1) dont like him because they feel that he cannot truly relate to them (bitter comment....cling to their guns or religion) or (2) dont trust him as he has not been truly vetted or (3) is just plain GREEEEEEEN when it comes to experience and proven accomplishments done on his own when compared to Hillary and McCain.

    God help us this Fall. It should prove real exciting. Pile up on your popcorn now. It is going to be a bumpy ride! : - )

      A mohammed in the White House??? GOD Forbid.....And He has....

        I dont know Holy, the more I dig into this guys background the more I think that all of these shady connections he has with questionable people, etc. Im thinking that the sh*t is going to hit the fan this fall when the GOP digs indepth to flesh out his past up to the present. Even CNN has started to investigate Obama starting with how he got to run for Illinois senator by getting everyone else off the ballot. Hmmmm

        • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 06/01/2008 1:15:57 AM

          Oh your correct. I just want to make sure. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. That I have done my part. Exposing his muslim heritage is huge. He has denied the majority, of verifiable facts, about this. If it is no big deal, then why deny it. IT IS a big deal. The mans name is HUSSEIN for God's sake. Just a coincidence??? Nope. This is the real deal. Islam is from Satan himself. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy.

          I realize that most people deny this reality. But truth is truth....And HolyRoller will preach it from the rooftops, if necessary.

          NOBAMA!!!

            What gets me is how can people be so close minded about what could happen after experiencing the whole 9/11 experience. What I remember at least I thought this was the wording is that the next devastation that will be presented to America will be from the inside out. What better way would it be to get a guy in the Oval Office who can totally throw this country into kaos in every capacity even worse than we already have now to the point of making our country totally vulnerable from a security perspective. We as americans in picking our next Presidential candidate should be TOTALLY relentless in vetting our Presidential candidates, especially Obama given he came out of nowhere with no experience with a very questionable background. Think people!

    Please do tell - this has got to be better than the End of Times insanity. The coming of the "Rapture" must be right around the corner - we better get ready!! All the Jews better convert or else eternal damnation!! By the way, what happens to the Muslims?

  • Posted By: Donna1000 @ 06/01/2008 2:33:55 AM

    The UK's Telegraph reports:

    Senior figures in the Obama camp have told Democrat colleagues that the offer to Mrs Clinton of a cabinet post as health secretary or to steer new legislation through the Senate will be a central element of their peace overtures to the New York senator.

    It sounds as though Sen. Obama wants Sen. Clinton in a position where he can fire her if he cannot control her.

    I hope that she stays in until the convention. A lot can happen between now and August.

    HILLARY CLINTON IS THE GREATEST CAMPAIGNER IN AMERICAN HISTORY !!!

    HILLARY CLINTON CAN BEST WIN IN NOVEMBER:

    IT'S ABOUT ELECTABILITY !!!

    It's time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania, and loss in Indiana, West Virginia, and Kentucky makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.

    Sen. Obama has zero chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources without Hillary Clinton. Zero chance.

    It is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.

    Hillary Clinton say's that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Sen. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.

    Sen. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Sen. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton's have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.

    If Sen. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.

    Don't be fooled by the pledged delegate, and math arguments. Neither candidate has the necessary pledged delegates. The entire delegates counts, and votes from Florida, and Michigan are not even being counted. Plus the democratic caucuses, and primarys have been heavily corrupted by fraud, and vote cheating. The only relevant question now is who can best WIN IN NOVEMBER and take back the Whitehouse for the American people. And the answer is HILLARY CLINTON. Everyone knows that now.

    Sincerely

    Jacksmith... Working Class :-)

    p.s. Cynthia Ruccia - I'm with ya baby. All the way. "Clinton Supporters Count Too."
