Hillary Clinton is doing her best to make sure the Dems lose in November. Though she won the primaries in RI, TX, and OH she did not win enough delegates to overcome Obama's lead. One has to wonder how much Rush Limbaugh's order to his thoughtless minions to vote for Hillary has helped her campaign. The Republicons hope Hillary will get the nomination because she will energize the GOP base in November. They have their guns full of Clinton ammo and we all know that bullshit walks with the increasingly stupid American voting public. The power hungry narcissist has already given the GOP a nice sound clip with this incredibly self-serving bit of propaganda.
What a power hungry traitor! Obviously the experience she speaks of helped her to decipher the partisan propaganda of Bush's push for war with Iraq, so she voted for it....good move. How can any self-respecting dem vote for someone who says the republican nominee is better than the likely nominee from her own party.
Clinton can only gain the nomination by breaking up the party.....not such a bad thing for a less important election, the dems need a kick in the ass, but not when we need to stop four more years of Bush/McCain. And the bullshit Maverick has done a great job pandering to the insane right wing base. A group he has spent his career(until 2004) rejecting, but now he needs them. No one panders faster, besides Bush.
For the record I was for Kucinich, then Edwards. I voted for Obama.
Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton? What a democracy!
Although nothing would be worse than McCain....except four more years of Bush.
So even if Hillary forces her way into the nomination, whether by back room deals, fear monger campaigning, or just outright steals it....then wins the White House.....the dems have lost again.
And so has the country......

I hear ya brother. I just might vote Nader after all. At least he gets that the system is focked up. But I will vote for Obamalama-dingdong if he's the nominee. I've gone back and forth on Hillary but she seems to be trying to drive me away.

Blaast,
The Clintons are incredibly selfish. They place their narrow interests above the party's and consequently, the nation's. Their nasty Rovian tactics belie their supposed concerns for welfare of the Republic. The DLC, those Republican light Dems are bent on destroying the party. The convention in Denver could make 1968 gathering seem like a tea party. I am thoroughly disgusted with Hillary. It is not just her handlers who are responsible for the lies and distortions that have wounded Obama in the last few days. The Sudan dress incident, the faux press releases and this latest photo of Obama in black face has completely turned me off to her. It would be extremely difficult for me to pull the lever should she connive her way into the nomination. The Clintons and that faction of the party must be rebuked and marginalized. She can't garner the required number of delegates even if she trounces Obama in all remainig contests. Had she any sense of honor or responsibility she would halt her campaign now. The Clintons may very well be all the horrible things their opposition has been saying about them for years. What an insufferable cow!!!

I for sure will vote for Nader, we the people have been left with no choice when it comes to canidates, have you ever seen such a bunch of losers running in the same election? My vote doesn't count anyway so why not waste it on someone that hasn't a chance of winning!

Arrow, what an inane comment. We have a choice and we have a decent candidate in the person of Obama. I will agree you would be wasting you vote on Nader. The candidates are not the losers, rather voters like yourself who have alredy marginalized your own vote are the real losers. Please try and get a grip.

I'm not the one that is losing their grip, seems that some people can't get it through their thick heads that there is only one party in Washington.Congressman Kucinich realized that some time ago, when he introduced H.R.333 to impeach Cheney, and everyone snubbed him. during his campaign the media kept him from public attention because the politicians thought he would change things, was this intentional? hell yes! heres two quotes to Charlie Rose that says it all!
Kucinich: Well, are we forgetting something here? I mean, do we still have civilian leadership in the United States or have we torn that page out of our Constitution as well? The founders made it very clear that Congress under Article 1, Section 8 has the power of war. And Congress also has the power of the purse. Congress must tell the president now, "The war is over. Bring the troops home. Bring the equipment home. Force those mercenaries to come home. Get Halliburton out of there." I mean, Congress has the power, and they can take action now. We cannot continue to fund this war.
Kucinich: listen, Congress is afraid to take on this president. We engage in all of these phony debates about the war. The essential question of the war—does it continue to be funded? I pointed this out over and over. It does not take another vote, Charlie. It simply is for the leadership of the House to tell the president, "We're not going to give you any money. Start bringing those troops home now." And after all, isn't that what they told the American people they would do when the Democrats were elected in 2006?

Arrow, I agree, there is only one party controlling Washington and it is the "Corporatists" who by "bribing" our Congressmen with huge campaign donations and incessant lobbying insure their will is done. It is depressing and almost seems an impossibility that the system could be changed. We know Granpappy McSame will do nothing and the Clintons proved their acceptance of the status quo. That leaves only Obama who among the three has taken no lobbyist funding. Perhaps I am naive, but there might be a chance that in an Obama presidency men like Kucinich could have more influence. We need a filibuster-proof Congress to even begin addressing the horror which has gripped Washington for decades. I will be one of the first to throw in the towel should this election bring only more of the same. Why impeachment procedures have not begun is puzzling. It is the duty of Congress to impeach. I can't explain the disconnect.
