Clinton-Obama Psychodrama

I heard it took Susanne Malveaux from CNN 45 minutes on the convention floor to finally find a PUMA.
I think this whole Clinton-rift is way overblown by the press.

My God can’t they move on.Is this HOW dare you beat me?????How dare you do this to my wife we have planned this for 8 years.I am so SICK of this Clinton crap send them to India and leave them both there.

Jamie Allman on 97.1 FM on St. Louis, MO is at the convention in Denver. He reported this morning that, although the television cameras did not show it, there were delegates walking out during Michelle Obama’s speech last night, while others sat with their arms crossed and refused to clap when the rest of the audience. He said the tension is “palpable” between the Hillary and Obama supporters. He followed one of the female delegates who walked out during Michelle’s speech, and she agreed to talk to him. I don’t know if it was on the record or not – he did not identify her by name. She said that it was not only Republicans who were insulted by Michelle Obama’s statements about not being proud of her country. Many Democrats were insulted, too. She said that in her opinion, the Democratic Party was not united, and she didn’t expect it to be.

IF HE WANTS TO WIN SO MUCH HE SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN HILLARY. WHO ELSE COULD BRING 18MILLION VOTES TO THE TABLE. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY AND THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY HE SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN HER, BUT HIS EGO GOT IN THE WAY. AND THIS IS WHAT HE CALLS REACHING ACROSS THE ISLE??? WHAT A JOKE, I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH HIS MESSAGE OF CHANGE. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT ONE THING, HIMSELF. SO BE IT, BUT DON’T BLAME THE CLINTONS WHEN HE LOSES!!!!! HE EXPECTS THEM TO ROLL OVER AND SUPPORT HIM 100%, BUT WHERE IS HIS RESPECT FOR HER??? NOWHERE.
HILLARY 2012!!!

DNC as a loser every 4 years,they
decided this year to nominate a black
man to lead the party…..but
it’s not going to work either…..
Obama doesn’t qulify for the job
and democrats are divided…….
Bad news for november…..

Can’t wait until both Clintonites have finished their speeches…..then finally the Clinton era is over!
Then we can get on with Barack Obama’s run for the Presidency. That is what the Convention is really all about!
Obama/Biden ’08

If Obama really wanted the support of Clinton Democrats, he would have made her VP. Instead of unity, he chose division. I am no longer a Democrat.

What BS. Hillary needs a doctor to help her with her loss.
She has a loose bolt, people, ad her own ego needs are such that she could hurt this party and this outstanding candidate.

Does everyone forget that Obama and Hillary both argreed not to count the vots from Michagan and florida?
So why are thet being seated now?

A woman scorned!

I have been a democrat for my adult life and intend on voting for John McCain unless Obama has Clinton as his VP.

He should have picked for VP… Now I am not voting for him…

as a huge obama supporter
I don’t want the Hillary era to be over…
I want the era that is all Bill Clinton’s ego to stop overshadowing what we need to do now…
It’s Hill’s time…
not Bill’s time…
Bill say
“you know if it helps this is how we did it…but it is a different time so you have to come up with your own”
and step off and realize the high school isn’t a place for you to came and hang out anymore…
Let the new leadership lead..and don’t worry about your ego.
Hillary is part of that new generation of leadership. Bill needs to do as all the other ex president’s are doing
supporting…not expecting.

Obama is a breath of fresh air to an otherwise terminal Republican state of affairs in the White House. I am no longer a Republican – Obama is the future – Democrats have historically produced the best economies because they understand and support the working middle class, not big business and trust fund millionaires.

Barack Obama Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton
could be the new team that takes us out of this mess…
please do not let Bill and PUMA screw it up.

The Republicans want us to be divided in November so they can stay the course with tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans – during a time of war – no real solution for health care other than to let the omnipotent free market decide the fate of millions of uninsured and under-insured families and fixed income seniors. Capitalism is a good thing, but it’s not the answer to all of our problems, not unless you happen to be a millionaire, and own 7 houses like McSame as Bush.

Rumor has it a and it might be a good idea for the Republicans if John McCain chose Condelisa Rice as his VP>
She is strong on Russian history and politics, an accomplished pianist, strong on foreign policy, a strong woman and would be a strong viable force. I think also that some folks that do not care for Michelle Obama and Barack Obama would switch votes!!! Thoughts???

How easy we forget….. Floriday and Michigan new the Dem Party rules about voting to early, however they choose to do so anyway. They broke the rules and lost the votes. What more is there to say. Never mind that Clinton left her name on the ballot anyway. Ya… no wonder the popular vote was stolen from her. OOOPs… sorry I forgot. Our great Nation has used delegates for a couple of centuries now… not the popular method! Isn’t it funny how the liberial cry foul…. as in someone stole the election from them?

PUMA = Republican
Anyone that believes these people were ever Democrats is a fool.

The Obama camp cheated with the caucus and he will not be able to do that with the presidential race with mccain. He failed to bring hillary on the ticket and now he will lose because of it. bad choices and sexism. gotta love america.

Way back in 1960, almost as many people voted for Nixon/Lodge as for Kennedy/Johnson. Historic change is hard to make and when historic change is at stake, every vote counts. Regarding political issues, Clinton and Obama are identical twins. I am convinced the so-called Clinton die-hards are actually Rush Limbaugh fans who voted for her in the primaries to stir the pot. There is no logical reason why a person who supported Clinton would not reflexively support Obama, given the circumstances. Part of the Clinton die-hards story is also the media attempting to stir the pot. It’s boring, old news and illogical.

So you are all bitter, I understand that. You have your views, and I acknowlegde those, and respect them. But…
If you will not vote for the Dems this fall out of spite, for the mere reason that Clinton didn’t make it past the primaries or she wasn’t added to the ticket, what are you doing for our country, our party?
The situation will end up with McCain winning, and lead to another four years at least of the Republican dominated, big oil, anti-environment administration that has messed things up for the past eight.
In my opinion, to not vote Dem. out of spite for Hillary, is more disrespectful to her than anything. She worked hard….very, very hard for what she believed in. The ball didn’t bounce her way, and in the end, she had to make a sacrifice for the integrity of the values she holds. She publicly callled for unity….we all know she would have had it a different way, but the fact remains that the Dems. need to win this November. She wants them to win too.
Cutting off your nose to spite your face has never been a sucessful strategy. I say, the best way to show her the respect she deserves, is to give her credit for what she has done, then move on to the underlying situation which ALL Democrats should be voting for. I say respect Clinton by making sure that The Republicans are ousted, and blaze a path that the Dems can follow for years to come. She can try again in four years…..

I’ve been reading a lot of this stuff over the last few days and weeks, and I still don’t quite get the anger at Obama. Sure, he’s very inexperienced. But why the anger? WHat did he do, apart from beating her when she assumed she was the nominee? ANger at the media I understand. THey have and continue largely to be Obama lap dogs. But didn’t Obama run a fairly clean campaign against Clinton? (Less so against McCain.) Now, the Clinton campaign on the other hand…

Do many of the Hillary supporters really want a continuation of the Bush administration and our ruined economy? What is the world is wrong with those people to be so vindictive, just because their candidate did not win?

The Hillary supporters stating their intention to become Republicans because their fave wasn’t chosen as VP????? Instead of thinking, intelligent adults, it seems we have a group of petulant, pouting, adolescents who may be more dangerous to democracy than the Georgie Porgie clone they intend to vote for out of spite.

Enough fighting amongst ourselves, and I agree, enough of the Republicans claiming to be Hillary supporters that are turning coat for McSame as Bush. I don’t believe any of you that claim as much. Obama = Hillary on ALL the issues. If you truly supported Hillary and the issues she champions then there is no decision to make in this election – Obama is your candidate. McSame as Bush will overturn Roe V. Wade, appointing the most Right Wing Hack Job Supreme Court in this nation’s history. He will do nothing to solve our health care woes, nothing to right the ship of our outdated economy, and nothing to make us more secure the world over, other than to promise to root out all evil and defeat it wherever it exists – translation – MORE WAR. Let’s tend to our own problems before we try to fix the globe.

oh, and one more note:
I would LOVE to see Cindy Mccain stand up and talk for more than 5 minutes without making a complete mockery of the Rep. campaign. As far as first ladies go….I see Michelle as an eloquent, intelligent woman. Cindy? hehe. Just watch any speech made by McCain where his wife is standing next to him……need I say more?

It’s the economy – stupid!! Yes – Barack was and is right on Iraq war. Barack is also right on Afganistan, but the paramount has shifted to domestic issues long time ago (sub-prime, health-care, unemployment,competitiveness of US businesses, energy policy, etc.) Barack has not been as articulate on these subjects as he was/is on Iraq. We don’t need a “preacher” or a “professor” as a leader -we need a bull fighter, and Barack – sorry to say – you are no bull fighter we need. Setting up a grand vision goes only so much, it’s the fight in the political trenches that wins the battle. McCain knows it. Hillary knows it.
If we loose this election the responsibility will squarely be on the shoulders of ultra-liberal Kennedy centered cabal of idealists. We need the “realist” wing of Democratic party to prevail.
In conclusion: Hilary 2012!!!!

Media is making too much of Clinton issue. I don’t think people commenting here and pretending like Hillary Democrats are Democrats. This is Rush Limbaugh’s “operation chaos” in practice. Republicans are trying to make this look like a big issue. If Hillary says she’s supporting Obama 100%, then it is OVER. In fact, it was over two months ago.
By the way I am a huge Huckabee supporter, Republican and I will vote Obama if Huckabee is not McCain’s VP!!! Because Huckabee was treated very bad in primaries and the press. :)

McCain is the anti-Hillary! Nobody who cares about the agenda Clinton supported would ever vote for him. A lot of us wanted a candidate other than Obama, but none of us want the kind of America that McCain would leave us.
Barack is intelligent and progressive–maybe not your first choice, but a good choice. Ignore the fake Dems on these blogs who are spouting the message of sour grapes. Elect Obama and end the disaster of Republican rule.

No matter the outcome of past events, the candidates are selected and it’s either going to be Barack Obama or John McCain.
I think the decision should be more than simple. Should we choose an aging playboy, who almost flunked out of the U.S. Naval Academy, cheated on and left a wife who was faithful for the five and a half years he was a POW, and who has had a less-than-mediocre career in Washington. Or should we choose a young, charismatic, intelligent man who was the first black man to be the President of the Harvard Law Review, and who has initiated and gathered supporters in order to place some of the toughest anti-lobbyist legislation we’ve seen since, well, ever.
Barack Obama may be a junior senator, but he is no idiot, and I think his message is clear. He wants to give this country back to who it really belongs to, the average, hard-working, American citizen. And this dream has the potential to be extinguished by something as petty as juvenile bitterness. Sad day indeed.

Let’s face it… If Obama wins, Hillary may have to wait another eight more years for her shot at the presidency.
If McCain wins… considering his age, she could be looking at just four.
Obama made a big mistake on his selection. If he loses, his shot at the presidency will be gone for good.

Hillary girls, litsen, it is precisly your girly, sulking when things do not go your way that put off millions and millions of people. You girls howling and demanding is only going to consolidate what a lot of people out there have been feeling deep inside.

It is quite silly to insist, like some people here, that the democratic nominee
should have chosen the VP that they like best. You don’t have to work with this VP!
Obama had to pick the person who he felt he could be most comfortable with, and work best with, to get the job done.
Anyone who says they are leaving the Democratic party because Obama didn’t pick who they like, seems to be more about personal vanity than any real commitment to the values of the democratic party.
They should go ahead and vote McCain, but then not complain, but rather hush up, when they end up getting 4 more years of Bush policies.

These so-called Clintonites are just Republican plants. They want to disrupt the Democratic Convention, that’s all it is.

You know, if the HILLARY-ites REALLY want to give their girl a good shot at the presidency, they need to for for Johnny Mac.
That way, Hilly’s got another shot at it in 2012, and she’s only 64. If she waits until 2016, she’ll be 68, and far removed from the Clinton White House.
She’ll also be able to make the argument that Barry wasn’t electable and that she should have been the nominee in 2008.
But, if Barry wins, she’s out of luck either way. Either he’s in for 8 years, which puts her running at 68, or he’s in for four years, and has done such a bad job that he loses in 2012 to a Republican who then has at least four years in office, until 2016.
Again, she’d be 68. I know Johnny’s 71 now, but I don’t see Hilly running for Prez at age 68, or 72.
If you want HILLY to have a chance in 2012, vote for McCain in November

It’s amazing to see so many Obama followers are in complete denial. They see a historic event–without considering the makeup of the type of character it takes to be president.

Wow…time flies. Now I’m 60 years old. I’ve always hated politics and political campaigns. But I do vote and do support that right. So many lies are told and so many promises made that can’t be filled. We should all take this election seriously and during the campaign buildup, make our positions known on the many issues facing this country. I am a conservative and dead set against tax increases and the expansion of government. My biggest issue is with both parties having expanded the US government to where it is 43% of the annual GNP of the US! Government spending growth is 8X the growth of the economy. The billions of defense spending is only about 5% of the federal budget. Social spending is out of control. Thanks for the soapbox. I encourage you to read information detail of both conservative and liberal sources to understand where your tax dollars go. Here’s one that makes it very clear what is happening. Yes this is another legacy you are leaving your grandchildren….

The Democratic Party made a serious mistake for nominating a weak and inexperience Presidential candidate. And, the would be nominee Sen Obama picked the wrong VP who is not capable of uniting the Dems…these blunders will cost Obama the White House.
Good luck Senator John McCain!

I’m writing from the perspective of a moderate who has voted for Democrats for the past 20 years. I’m not a socialist, and I’m not born again. I don’t like the direction that either major PARTY in this country is going (Do I want big brother in my bedroom or in my wallet? Neither, thanks.). At any time during the past year, I’ve seriously looked at (and liked) McCain, Obama, & Clinton. I think they’ve all got great qualities (and all have shortcomings). I recognize that McCain is pandering to the right but the reality is, he’s far from Bush and has been for many, many years. I’m worried he’ll vote for conservative justices, but otherwise, I like him. I like Obama’s youth and passion and hell yeah, we do need a change. But in the past few weeks I see him as arrogant. I feared he had radical leanings (his pastor- whether he sat through the crazy sermons or not, don’t say he didn’t know what this guy believed – that’s just crap). Now – he completely ignores 25% of the voting population and 50% of the democrats? What kind of arrogance is this? We’ve had 8 years of one kind of radical arrogance – I’m not sure I need another 8 (only radical in a different direction). Sorry dems but once again, you’ve totally screwed up and instead of fixing it, you’re sniping at the other half b/c they don’t agree with you. I guess this is the arrogance of liberalism we have to look forward to.

Wow… what a mess !!! Hello to our next President… John McCain…

A lot of ignorance being shown in these comments. Obama and DNC did not cheat with the Michigan and Florida votes. These two states did not follow the rules of the party and as a result were penalised. The states knew what the penalties were before they set their dates, both candidates knew what the penalties were, but now Clinton is kicking up a fuss because she did not get the nomination and feels that these two states could have helped her win the vote. What a load of nonsense. Secondly the votes supposedly allocated to each of these candidates in these two states cannot be verified because they were not counted and Obama did not even campaign in one of the states because the two parties – Clinton and Obama – had agreed not to campaign as the votes would not be counted due to their early vote date. But Clinton went ahead and campaigned.
These so called Hillary supporters are the ones who are dividing the party. Obama is wasting precious campaign time pandering to them. The Republicans are making the most of this situation and then more time is wasted refuting the Republicans claims and Ads.
If Clinton had won this would never have happened, and Hillary and Bill would not have tolerated such disrespect from the supporters. I am glad Obama did not choose Clinton. If she had showed her support of his nomination in June, then maybe she would have been chosen. But she has been sitting on the sidelines since then, hanging on to these so called 18 million voters – saying she is handing them over and in the same breath not quite handing them over. I’m tired of them. They are obviously not Democrats. If they were there would be no questions as to where their loyalties lie. How can they be talking about voting for McCain? If you want to vote McCain go ahead. It’s obvious that you only backed Hillary because she was a female and not becuase you were a democrat. Vote McCain and you will get the President you deserve. In a few years time we will be burying you or your children killed in some senseless war.
On the other hand – the media is also fuelling this so called conflict. I know for a fact that there are McCain supporters posing as PUMA supporters.

Why is the media giving this crap story so much play? No one gives a crap. Hillary lost and had lots of supporters just like EVERY OTHER primary campaign every run! The media continues to focus on this none story because they’ve all become Hollywood tabloids and DIRT sells! Sickening.

All you libs that support BHO for president, and talk about our civil liberties being eroded if there is a Republican in the White House need to wake up… BHO is just as bad if not worse than Bush or McCain. He has consistently supported (unconstitution) gun bans, didn’t vote on FISA (can’t tell if he’s for/against, like on many other issues), and wants to take your hard-earned money (0.7% of GDP) and give it to poor people IN OTHER COUNTRIES (Global Poverty Act). If that doesn’t violate my civil liberties, I don’t know what does. Break the 2-party system.
- DON’T TREAD ON ME -

NielPA: “…without considering the makeup of the type of character it takes to be president.”
and by ‘character’ do you mean bush? please… yeah, he’s a character alright.
or do you mean mccain, who called his wife a **** in front of a bunch of people? yeah, that’s exactly the type of character i want in my president.
hmm… white and rich… and in both cases their daddy’s got them into places they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to get into.
republicans always want to talk about character, integrity, and values. funny how they never seem to *demonstrate* any of those things. mccain used to, but over the last three or four years he’s totally changed in order get elected.
i’m not trying to say that the dems are the shining examples, but at least they don’t try to say they are.

This is a whole made up story by the MSM. If it bleeds, it leads. The media needs a juicy story and the Clintons always make for a good one.
Though I did not support Hillary, I know she wants what’s best for this country and all McCain has to offer is four more years of the same and maybe a couple more wars and maybe reinstating the draft. No thanks.
I can’t wait for her speech tonight.

Terri,
Open up your eyes Terri. It’s time for the blinders to come off. Change just for the sake of change, is not the way to go.
Obama has too many character and ideological flaws to ever consider him as presidential material. Just look at his spritual leader/advisor for the past twenty years, Jeremiah Wright.
War is hell. Atleast the war is over there and not here. IF Obama wins…
We may be burying you or your children killed by some terrorist act carried out here in the United States.

PUMA’s have to be the most despicable people on earth. They’re willing to sacrifice everything they believe in, including abortion rights and ending the war in Iraq, because they hold a grudge. They will be responsible for putting a warmongering old fool in the White House, the man who called Chelsea ugly, laughed when a supporter called Hillary a b*****, and voted to impeach Bill. Idiots.

I’m American-born from a family that has been here for generations; my grandfather fought in the war as an American soldier. I went to Ivy League schools on my own merit – my family couldn’t afford it, but I earned it, and it WASN’T affirmative action. I made editor of the Harvard Law Review. Sure, I can put a few words together into a decent sentence to help motivate people. I like working with people – I have a history of working with people, and helping them to organize for change in their communities. Now, I want to do this on a national scale, to help ALL of the American people to effect change for the betterment of our country in things like the economy and healthcare and better ways of satisfying our energy needs. I am committed to doing this, and I understand the high personal price I must pay, including the cost to my family. BUT HATE ME, BECAUSE I’M BLACK!!!

I am just wondering if you live in US in 2001. It was Republican Party and Republican President when 9/11 happened.
You are trying to tell us that if Obama is a President, CIA is going to stop working or what? Logic is not your best friend, is it? You think if McBush is a president all the terrorist group will get really scared?;)) They will be so afraid of 72 years old politician and his buddy Liberman who can stop pushing this country to start the war with Iraq.. How smart! ;((( McBush said he HATES WAR but he is really eager to start couple more…
Sad..

Come on…! Race has nothing to do with it. Everytime something happens to a black person, the race card is pulled. The problems I have with Barrack are his associations with leftist antagonizers.

I suspect that, given the intensity of these comments, the repubs are more than a little concerned over the obvious intelligence, vision, and humanness evident in the Democratic Party.

No matter which way you spell it… It ain’t happenin’ this time around.

We should all take this election seriously and during the campaign buildup, make our positions known on the many issues facing this country.

“Wright, Ayers, Rezko–all shady people Obama used then threw them under the bus.
Does America care about Obama’s judgement and his character?”
Posted by: riley
Riley, you are not worried about America. You are worried about something else. You feel comfortable naming all of Obama “debts”, how about naming all of McCain buddies who involved in many economical, religion and lobbing scandals. Let’s see who’s list is bigger!

Obama is a puppet.Plain and Simple. I hope all you Obamanuts ARE WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU IRRATIONAL AND CRAZED SUPPORT OF YOUR GOD. If you had any brains you would stop touting HIS MINOR COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK AND DO SOME RESEARCH INTO THE FACTS. NOT BELIEVE HOOK LINE AND SINKLER HIS CHOSEN BS NARRATIVE.

I see this notion that people are in denial and frankly irrational about the creepy CLintons being called post rational. One has to admit that reason is no longer the issue for most voters.
Hillary was knocked off by an obscure rookie. I think the creepy Clinton camp are unwilling to come to terms with the fact that Hillary was not a good candidate.

It’s all about getting a Democrat in the White House, that’s it, that’s the bottom line here. You democrat can all say what you want as far a as Barack being better than McCain for whatever your reasons, but honestly if it was Clinton or any other dem that won the primary you would be required to spout the same arguuements about McCain being bad for America. The is no reasoning or intelligence in your arguements. Better qualifications be damned, the only qualification you have is whether teh candidate is a democrat.
Admit it, move on and shut up!

I supported Hillary in the primaries, but I realize that now it’s time to turn the page and make sure we get a Democrat back in the White House. I have put aside any feelings of frustration I might have had, and I am now firmly behind Obama. We need to come together as a party. Don’t buy into the messages of hate and fear that McSame is advertising. We are stronger together. There isn’t a shred of real difference between Clinton and Obama on the issues.

I’ve lived through the old days of sexual discrimination making it hard to get a decent job. I’ve lived through a lot of years struggling for what is fair and watching other women struggle as well, but I never thought I would live to see the day that Democratic women would throw away all we’ve worked for out of pettiness, bitterness or be willing to be used and abused by the Republican Party. I never thought Democratic women would throw away our pro-choice rights by voting for McCain or endorse another 8 yrs of failed policies which have harmed our families. I never thought I’d live to see the day when Democratic women would vote for a man whose mindset would lead us into even more senseless war. I never thought in my wildest nightmares that strong Democratic women would vote for a man whose measures to trim down the VA expenses would exclude benefits for female combat troops suffering from PTSD due to rape.
Who are these women willing to throw all our advances, advances that took years to build, simply because their candidate did not win? Who are they that they cannot hear the snickering and jokes coming from the Republican Party about how they will be used by McCain to win this election? Are these women so wrapped up in their emotions and games they cannot see they are being used or are they simply enjoying all the attention? Is a pity party with cocktails more important than the future of our daughters and grand daughters? Since when do strong women put a politician before country or the universal needs of women and our children? Why are these women so willing to throw away everything we have worked for all these years? I never thought I’d live to see the day where I felt shame for simply being a member of the female gender. God help our children if this is the caliber of women today.

Well said, Ms.Swin!
what a sad story of not only cutting your nose off to spite your face, but bashing up the face before cutting the nose off! it is a self-destructive, bitter, suicidal way of going about
(un)making your political dreams – if Obama loses, these Hillary fanatics will be to blame – they will sink and take their children and grandchildren’s legacy with them. So much for their love for their families and their rights as individuals. I could say somethin trite like – Stupid is what stupid does – but hte shape of this country’s future is too serious a matter for me to take risks with fumbling, befuddled, flip-floppy bozos like McCain, who is making merry with his wife’s millions!
These women think a man like McCain, who cannot even respect his own wife is going to respect millions of strangers who voted for him out of spite? You are just being flung around as a limp dishrag, with Repubs having a good laugh at your expense.
Anger and bitterness has no place in a real feminist’s thought and action – if you cannot be strong, take failure in a stride and find what is most advantageous to your efforts and life as a woman, mother and/or partner, you are no feminists at all.

The Republican’s mission is simply trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone:
1 Destroy Obama’s chance of winning this campaign by using Hillary’s negative words to appeal to low information voters;
2. Destroy Hillary Clinton’s political future by using her words against Obama, thus making her appear to be a traitor, an enemy of her own party, which inadvertently uses her own words against her own self interest. Republicans know that more people will be against Hillary for this reason, than for her, making her future bid winning a presidential campaign impossible.
Thus, the Republicans rids themselves of Obama in 2008, and Hillary 2012.

Some in the media are creating psychodrama out of a former opponent in what was an extremely tight race backing another in a presidential election.

Ah, such short memories. McCain was one of the orginal “Keating Five.” He was admonished by the Senate for “poor judgment.” He received $112,000 from Keating and his fellow criminals who brought about the savings and loan collapse. He also cheated on his first wife while she was recovering from an accident. His current wife was involved in drugs. But of course he was a POW which apparently explains and forgives all. This guy is a slime ball of the worst kind.

True, Peach. But the citation for “poor judgment” is no small thing, given that the Senate tends to take care of its own. And the fact that he took $112,000 from the criminal Keating, even if legal, is highly questionable.

Debra,
you are letting yourself be used and abused by the GOP. WAKE UP! Try to see this thing logically. If you want Hillary to have a political future, you need to vote Obama.

To all of the Hillaryites who are continuing in their all-too-transparent efforts to destroy Obama and the rest of the Democratic Party because their candidate lost the nomination:
When the Supreme Court goes 6-3 or 7-2 conservative, and Roe gets overturned (along with the possible reversal of cases like Miranda), are you guys going to hold rallies for McCain and his bestest friend Hillary, thanking them for their achievements? When we wind up at war in Iran, are you going to be marching for joy in the streets, patting yourselves on the back for having pulled off the McCain victory? Are you going to be eagerly signing up your kids to go to war against Russia in Georgia?
None of you are in this for principles, other than the principle that your pick should have won. The platform on which McCain is running is antithetical to everything that Hillary says she believes. If her beliefs are important to you, you’re doing a great job of working to undermine those beliefs. McCain is against choice, against equal pay, in favor of perpetual occupation of Iraq. That’s what you’re supporting now.
Also, for all of your protestations against being accused of racism, the racist subtext of your anti-Obama comments isn’t even subtext anymore…it’s just TEXT, with no concealment.
So, thanks in advance, folks, for doing your damndest to extend the era of Republican misrule.
Way to go, Team PUMA!

One Drop, If Abortion is your big issue than it should not prevent you from voting for McCain. It is highly unlikely Roe Wade will be overturned even if conservatives are appointed to the Supreme Court. Even in the unlikely event Roe Wade is overturned it will just go back to the States for the people to decide, which is what Democrats are supposed to be all about by the way, and the only State that may place any serious restrictions on abortion is Utah. So if you do not live in Utah, no worry.

Mrs. Clinton gave a brilliant speech… about Mrs. Clinton. Notice she did not utter one single word in support of the character of Barack Obama. Sure, she declared that democrats must support him and did so by name, I counted ten times. But, she could have been declaring so for anybody. Nothing in her endorsement distinguished him as particularly worthy, in her estimation, of that endorsement. And yet, she called John McCain, “my friend.”
The Clintons have one interest and one interest only in this race, and that is The Clintons. Hillary gave the speech of her life, but that was not for the purpose of getting Barack Obama elected president, but rather to burnish her own image and reputation.
Barack Obama’s very faulty decision to give the Clintons the spotlight at “his” convention will very soon prove to be the biggest mistake of his life.
Count the minutes, tomorrow night, that former president Clinton invests in speaking of his wife. I guarantee you that more of his speech tomorrow will be about her than Senator Obama. And, also, in a way that was clearly calculated tonight by Senator Clinton, tomorrow night President Clinton will barely say a word about the unique character of the presumptive democratic nominee for president, Senator Barack Obama, but all of his descriptions of his wife will be designed to paint a picture of her unique worthiness for the presidency… in some time in the future.
The unyielding malignant narcissism of the Clintons is an exhausting spectacle to behold.
