As a matter of fact, the Defense budget bill for EVERY family of four is $16000.00 EVERY YEAR!!

George Bush and Dick Cheney and all the rest of the cabal needs to go to jail. This war profiteering, bank speculation, outright theft of taxpayer dollars to prop up the richest class (George's base) has driven this entire country into the abyss. This 'malfeasance' starts at the very top of our government and runs throughout the financial system. The wars (and possibly, even 9/11, were just a way to transfer wealth to a select few. There are ways to change it, and get us back to the country we used to know, but it will be very, very hard. We are now OWNED by the rich landowners (?) and they will not want to relinquish their holdings. As I see it right now, our only hope is Barack Obama. And then, only if he is allowed to GOVERN! Remember Jimmy Carter.

Go here and read about a country, Sweden, that actually went through the same thing and came out of it, with discipline and courage. Also, read Dennis Kucinich's plan and see how close it comes to the same solutions Sweden put into place. Very interesting, but do the members of our Congress have what it takes to do it? THAT is the $64,000.00 question.

She has said over and over again, that *she* put the city's checkbook online for all to see. Seems like her paycheck would come out of that checkbook. 'Course she says a lot of things. Just 'some' of them are true.

That's not all. Hurricane Hanna will be making a 'landfall' appearance then, too.

PeyPey, you silly, silly person. I really thought that the last eight years of Georgie Boy would wake EVERYONE up, but I guess it's really true: Some people NEVER learn.

How could he "steal the election" by 'not counting Florida and Michigan"? He is ahead even *WITH* Florida and Michigan. The delegates that will be assigned for Florida and Michigan (and there will be a resolution) will be divided up honestly and *FAIRLY*.

You know, you people need to learn how to do MATH, not just repeat and repeat, endlessly, the talking points you hear on the candidate's sound bite on teevee.

Don't you just love how this guy always uses the words "That simple"? How dismissive. Just like Dick Cheney. Dick, is that you?

Posted at May 9, 2008 2:10 AM in response to Hillary Campaign Says No To New Michigan Delegate Proposal

you know, I've been reading your comments and just have to post, even tho I am a charter member of the TrollCritic 3000 Foundation. You keep blaming Howard Dean and the Dnc for this idea to sanction the states of FL and MI. Well, Howard Dean had nothing to do with it. The RULES COMMITTEE voted to sanction them and the RULES COMMITTEE is made up of 25 members, 12 of whom are Hillary surrogates. They voted UNANIMOUSLY to sanction the states of FL and MI. Just think, hillary's surrogates on the Rules Committee (many who work on her campaign) voted to DISENFRANCHISE these voters (because she didn't think she would NEED them). So, you are in error in your pronouncements.

You need to educate yourself before you go off with a lot of silly talking points, thinking that everybody else is as lazy and uninformed as yourself. You can fix this problem by doing a little research and educating yourself on the issues. It really isn't hard to do, just takes a little effort, thereby saving yourself the embarrassment and everyone else the obligation to explain something to you for the 10th time. Oh, I see, that is the point, isn't it?

Gotalife (or is it Lostalife?), all of the above which your pal, Hillary, has voted against or campaigned against. So, what do you have to say about that? Is that $28.00 your idea of an 'energy policy'? Really?

Why don't you just wise up? It's basically over, even you can see that. So, are you just going to sit on the sidelines and gush out your little, small-minded, sarcastic crap for the next 4-9 years? What is the point? Do you really think you will sway anyone to your way of thinking? Do you really need the ego trip you obviously are on? Is that the most important thing to you, in the world? Quit it. Grow up. Be a person and a citizen. This isn't scrabble or T-ball and you are not 10 years old. I understand you are disappointed and even angry, but what is the point of your constant, sarcastic comments? Please, pray tell.

I believe she and Bill want to stay in the race until she is asked to leave or forced out so they have an excuse to run out and start an Independent run for President, ala Joe Lieberman. After all, Hillary was his most ardent supporter against the legitimate Democratic nominee, Ned Lamont. Nobody mentions that fact, and it was the first real eye-opener that she is more of a Republican than a Democrat. This 'populist' bag of hers is a new, just-to-get-elected idea.

If she does run as an Independent, she will 'split' the party and not win, but she will probably keep Obama from winning, or that would be her basic agenda. Then, she is free to come back and challenge McCain in 2012.

Just my idea...

Fellow Democrats, now is the time for us to bury all hatchets and try our best to come together. I realize it is hard for Clinton supporters to accept this in the face of their unfailing support for their candidate. I would feel the same if Obama had lost. But, we are all Democrats and there is a general election waiting for us. We must defeat McCain in November. Isn't that the reason for the record turnouts in all the primaries and caucuses? This country and our Constitution cannot withstand another Bush term. The MSM will begin their attacks on Obama TODAY. Here comes Reverend Wright again, Ayers, Rezko and all the rest of it. (Please Hillary supporters, don't start with "I told you so", because it would be the same 'politics of destruction' from them if she had won, believe me).

We must unite behind the Democratic nominee and stop the nonsense of trying to cut our noses off to spite our faces. We must remain vigilent and DEMAND the main stream media coverage to be truly 'fair and balanced' and not one-sided as it has shown itself to be in these primaries. We also need to let it be known, loud and clear, that we will NOT stand idly by while this election is, again STOLEN from us, like the last two. That we will NOT STAND FOR IT!! We will not stand by while another Republican candidate is 'selected' by the Supreme Court! We are 'the people' the Constitution talks about and it is our government and not the sole government of the Republicans or of the Corporations.
If Barack Obama's government is a fraud, as many Clinton supporters have alleged (I certainly do not think so), I will be the first to stand up and point that out. But, he is our best HOPE to change the politics we now have. I just want my country back. I am sick of being lied to; I am sick of being spied on'; I am sick of being a citizen responsible to the world for the utter incompetancy of the leaders of our country; I am tired of living in fear of our OWN government. Please, let's come together and try to straighten out the mess that has been created in the last eight years! It is our last and best HOPE!
