Here's the thing, Obama is not the one to unite and I, along with many others will CONSIDER voting cross party or not voting at all if Hillary doesn't get the nomination. I wish people like Bill Richardson would stop acting like they are not trying to talk people into voting for the one who appears to be in the lead, just to save the party. Bullshit! He IS trying to sway the votes for Obama...not the goodness of the democratic party. He knows the weak minded people who give in for this reason will follow suit. I happen to think that the voters need to vote the way that they want, and not be swayed to vote for Mr. Popularity. And I think Bill is kissing Obama's butt to try and get the nod for v.p.. What a selfish prick!
Everyone needs to think for themselves here and quit listening to the idiots that follow the leader. I will back Hillary Clinton all the way to the white house, but she needs more than me, she needs us all. A vote for Hillary is a true vote for unity and a real change for the better. Who wants Obama and all of his racist ties? You can take the man out of church, but you can't take the church out of the man. His underlying loyalty is to the extremists and wacked out racists, not the love of his country and certainly not the love of his party. The hate is what is tearing this party apart, not the people who believe in their candidate.
Obama, you couldn't possibly make a good president of a country that you hate, however you could be a good dictator.
I know, I know, all you Obama supporters are in love with him, but I'm here to say that it will be short lived. All Obama has to do is keep talking and keep letting his hateful mentor and wife run their flaps and it'll be all over but the voting.
Happy Party-building!

This information is very helpful. Thank you.

You're very welcome. There are a couple of really good websites out there that are not partial to any one candidate, they just report the same way on everyone. I like those because they're at least CLOSE to being free of bias. - or as close as you can get, anyway.
keep it going Yoda!

Why Not Vote For Obama
By Democrat in Crosby, TX Mar 28th 2008 at 11:25 am EDT
Obama has my vote. I have noticed that he votes his convictions. I like that. Where others go with what they get out of the deal. I mean some vote on something and then say well they wouldn't vote that way now or that they regret the way they voted. BS, either they weren't paying attention to the situation or someone palmed them into voting that way.

My son is in Iraq, because of one of those peoples votes that they wish they could change. Well, personally I wish that all those people that vote on these issues had to endure the consequenses of those votes. They would not be so quick to do so without more knowledge
Re: Why Not Vote For Obama
By American Girl Mar 28th 2008 at 11:49 am EDT
No disrespect, but people join the military at free will and after that they belong to the government. The war in Iraq would have gone weather Hillary voted for it or not in the beginning. The Bush and Cheney duo wouldn't have had it any other way, they were hell bent on war, and would have found a way no matter what it took to get the votes for it. It's a shame that the American people were lied to. I don't agree with the reason for this war, but if we pull out now, it will be like when the first Bush pulled out early...and we will end up there again. It sure is a mess and so many lives lost because of G.W.Bush playing commander and chief.
I just don't think Obama has what it takes to lead this country. He doesn't have what it takes to run this country from day one.
Don't get me wrong, I would love for the war to be over and all the soldiers to come home, but we are in one hell of a mess and there is no end in sight right now. We need a commander and chief who is strong enough to finish the war and strong enough to listen to the people. That is Hillary.

Good Job Yoda - and I would like to add to it.
By Karstar Mar 28th 2008 at 12:17 pm EDT
I'm just going to repost something I just said to another poster.

Do as your heart tells you.

Just like to inform you - I'm a democrat. That will not change homever the nominee is.

I wish you God speed out of the party you maybe no longer a part of. I'm trying to make sure that the 7 -2 split in nominees to Supreme Court changes and there is not another 100 years of war.

So many Republicans have come on this site in the last couple of months its hard to tell them from genuinely pissed of democrats.

Wait there is one way. Democrats still vote democratic.

Republicans either ask you to vote for McCain or to not vote at all.

Yeah that's it.

Now what were you saying?
  
enough with the angry obscenities already!
By D. Tree Mar 28th 2008 at 1:02 pm EDT
talk about negative, sheesh!

Judge Obama on his actions and words not on the cherry-picked words of his preacher.

man, talk about following the sheep! you are so quick to pass judgment on the good people of TUCC - would you condemn the more than 8,000 parishioners who to there every Sunday to pray? What about the 1.2 millions members (mostly white mind you) of the UCC denomination?

your words about hate ring hollow, and your anger is the false outrage of a person who passes judgment without learning the facts first.

passing judgment and calling the good and decent people of UCC "extremists and whacked out racists" is behavior no real democrat should tolerate.

in any other time, we would be defending these good people against this political witch-hunt, and we would certainly not tolerate this behavior from the GOP.

it is truly a shame that people are so quick to pass judgment on these good people - even more shameful is that we allow our fellow democrats to do this to eachother.

stop it already. go vent your anger somewhere else, because its only hurting the Democratic party over here.
Disparaging comments will not be tolerated.

Democrats should not let their friends vote republican.
By LITTLE DINE' FOR RECALL ON COLUMBUS DAY Mar 28th 2008 at 4:25 pm EDT
At the end of the popularity contest it will take Obama and Hillary supporters all democrats along with Independents, Obamacans and all to prevent a republican that would run as proxy for george bush.
