party unity now
It has been a great day for me in one respect. I am a strong supporter of Barack Obama and have great HOPE for our future. However, this is also a day of rememberance. The man who got me interested in Democratic politics was killed on this day in 1968. He offered Hope and a way OUT of Viet Nam.He cared so much for this country! I was watching as he made his speech from the Ambassador Hotel, and was still watching after he was shot. I will never forget that moment in my life. In one quick second my HOPE turned to devastation. I want to pause at this moment and make mention of a person that I feel would have been one of our greatest Presidents. I remember you Bobby. With love in my heart, and greatfullness for all you stood for. I SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER.
Hillary will ride this campaign out to nearly the convention, she will continue to ruin Obma's chances, McCain will be a one term president, then Hillary can run again in 4 years. To all of the dems who have backstabbed the clintons, watch your backs it's coming.... There will be hell to pay especially for richardson, and it will all be for naught, because Obama doesn't stand a chance against McCain.
The above opinion was on the MSNBC First Read blog tonight.
This is pathetic and also why there is so much distrust in the Obama camp.
This is right out of Karl Rove's handbook of hate and any Democrat who would say this is Pathetic at best.
Stuff like this from someone who has accused Obama supporters of cultism and kool-aide drinking.
How sad that the truth is coming out...the cultists have Hillary stamped on their foreheads.Anything to win!

As a republican, sitting back and reading these hate filled blogs is probably the most entertainment I've had since listening to Hillary tell about her story of dodging sniper fire.
The republicans are taking great satisfaction in seeing the Democratic party shooting themselves in the foot (or back).
It's time that REAL DEMOCRATS acted as REAL DEMOCRATS and stopped giving aid and comfort to the real enemy.
The situation is grim now- but think what it would be after another four years of Bush policies!
WAKE UP! IT'S TOO IMPORTANT! THIS IS OUR CHANCE FOR REAL CHANGE!

I watched CNN air the Rev. Wright speech to the NAACP (who MOST Democrats support) tonight and came away feeling that Rev. Wright is not only NOT Anti-American, he is also NOT racist.
The posts that I have seen on here from Hillary supporters has disgusted me and I had hoped that maybe they would LISTEN to what he had to say without pre-judging him.
Instead, I've seen posts that say he "Mocked JFK" which he certainly DID NOT, he was making a point about linquistics!
I have seen "What the hell was That?" by a woman who said she wanted input from others because she didn't get it- but with a post on another blog was seen tearing him to shreds. I have seen him called a Racist, I have read where people should "never allow their children to sit in the pews and listen to his hate and prejudice".
I find that this kind of "thought" does not hold up when the FACTS are presented.
I was raised in a Pastor's home. I studied Theology and have a degree in Philosophy, and NOWHERE in his speech tonight did I hear any Anti-American or Hate message.
The theme of the NAACP for 2008 is "A Change is Going to Come".....Oh- now I get it- Because he said he BELIEVED that CHANGE was coming and he said "Yes we Can!" your hate mode went into full gear and the name-calling started!
Typical.

I decided to read the posts on the CNN, MSNBC and this site's blogs.
I will state right here that I am a supporter of Barack Obama and I'm proud to say that I've been a volunteer for 14 months.
I was also a volunteer in 1992 & 1996 for Bill Clinton.
The name-calling, nastiness and hate that I have seen on these blogs is sickening.
We should have a cake-walk into the Oval Office this year due to the total ineptness of the current administration!
We are at war, our economy is in recession, 47 million Americans have no health insurance, and the quality of education in this country is abominable...
So what do Democrats do?
We tear each other into shreds. We make our "cause" seem insignificant compared to our getting the last shot in.
Barack Obama is the one I want to see as our nominee.
That has made me (amoung other things) a "kool aide drinker, a delusional dupe, a pied piper follower, a man with no substance, an Obummer, an Obamabot,etc,etc.
These are names that DEMOCRATS have spawned!
Hillary is called a liar, Billary, a bitch, etc,etc.
Again, this isn't from Republicans who are known for their hate-campaigns--it's from Democrats!
I truly believe that Barack Obama will be our nominee. If the nominee would be Hillary, I would vote for her.
These "Hillary or McCain 08" folks are making the GOP job much easier.You need to stop! Those saying if Barack isn't the nominee they will vote Republican needs to stop!
This is almost over.
STOP THE INFIGHTING ON THESE BLOGS!
It's too important!!

I have been saddened by the tone the Presidential Primary has taken lately.
I supported President Bill Clinton twice in the 1990's.
I believed then as now that change must happen.
I have been a volunteer for Senator Obama's campaign since February of 2007. I believe in him strongly.
I have voted Democrat for President since the first time I could vote (1972).
I have a "Proud to be a Democrat" sticker on my car.
I am ashamed of the way Democrats are treating Democrats.
This has become a nasty, negative and hateful campaign season. The only one's who can benefit from this are the Republicans.
I ask the Leadership of my party the following questions:
1. If Barack Obama had lost eleven primaries in a row, isn't it true that the Party leadership would have put pressure on him to drop out?
2. If Barack Obama implied that the Republican nominee was more qualified than a member of our own party, wouldn't he have been called on it?
3. If Barack Obama tried to change the rules when the election season was over half over and implied that his opponent was the one who disenfranchised voters of two critical states- would he be allowed to continue without a word from the leadership?
It's time we all realized that Barack Obama will be the nominee.
This beloved Nation of ours cannot stand another four years of Bush's war, Bush's economy plans, and Bush's disdain for Universal Health Care!
WE MUST UNIFY AND DEFEAT THIS REPUBLICAN!
It's time to end the name-calling, back-biting, innuendo and outright hatred for other Democrats.
This should be a landslide year for our party! We insist on shooting ourselves in the foot and giving the real opposition all the ammunition they need for the General.
It is time we came together.
I call on the leadership of our party to stand up and be counted!
I call on the elders of our party to say "Enough!".
I call on the Hillary Clinton campaign to stop the cheap shots and bow out.
The theme song for the Clinton campaign in the 90's was "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow"......
It would be could to use the same logic NOW.
