I'm getting pretty tired of people telling us to unite, when what they really mean is to give up and support THEIR candidate. We need a candidate we can believe in, so you can't just stick a big D in front of anybody's name and expect us to blindly follow. I cannot vote for Obama because I don't trust him, no matter how manny Ds you put in front of his name. It's about the RIGHT democrat, not just any democrat. That kind of thinking is what led to the second Bush term.

apparently these women that can't seem to see the bigger picture, and areresiding in the same location as HRC, which is, Menopause Manor. Here women can do and think as they please, without men. Memories can deminish and no one is the wiser. Tears are acceptible and incouraged. A place where rules are left at the door and so are the husbands. If fighting breaks out, it is to prove you are still strong. Where rainbows appear over them and theirs daily.

Get over yourselves Staten and annieb. I dont need you to tell me to vote for Hillar "say-anything-to-win" Clinton either.

At the end of the day I am voting Dem because I can see the bigger picture. Obviously some of you cant.

The big picture to me means looking at EVERY candidate in every race as individuals, and not just blidly picking Ds or Rs.

Well after you have taken your fine tooth comb to McCain--which most people already have---Ill see you at the Dem's inauguration in January.

I get it - You don't like the top of the ticket if its Obama

Can you help me get the Republicans out of the Senate and the House.

They are just as bad as W.

Working against them will not leave the bad Obama taste in your mouth.

I wish you supported him but you don't like his lack of experience. Fine - just don't hate him enough (because he votes just like Clinton) to sour your taste on the other party goals.

Hows that.

Me too!

Has Anyone on here actually met Mr Barak Obama?

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting this arrogant condescending man. Talk about looking his nose down on me..... Yes I am a waitress. Yes I work hard for a living. But NO AMOUNT of coaxing will ever get me to vote for a man that thinks SOOOO LITTLE of the working class.
AND YES I EXPERIENCED THIS FIRST HAND!!!!

please---I met him too. I am working class. You saw what you wanted to see. You saw what people told you to see.

What--you want him to clap, clap, point point too?!

Please create a profile - I'm sorry for this request.

We have been attacked by Operation Chaos. There are many life long Dems with problems with Senator Obama.

Most came to this blog a long time ago. The new ones seem somewhat suspect - a profile really helps to weed out the Operation Chaos.
