And the numbers I have show violence in Iraq going down….

d., is that your way of saying you don’t know who the radical islamists (sic) are either?

The Democratic ideal is to bring our troops back from the batttlefront where are are sitting ducks in a shooting gallery.

“Surrending in the War on Terror” refers to the democratic ideal of bringing troops back from a battlefront where they have been largely successful.

While I’m asking questions, I will ask one more, how is not voting if your candidate doesn’t win or writing in a name teach the Democratic Party and the Clinton’s a lesson? This is a contest. In this contest there can only be one winner. If you can’t stand to lose you don’t need to play. If you don’t vote you don’t get a say. Writing in a name is the same as not voting in my humble opinion.

The flipside is that if I were a presidential candidate, I wouldn’t want someone to give me their vote, when its really a vote against someone else.

And as an aside, I’m not sure which would embolden radical islamists more: not voting, or voting for the party who CLEARLY advocates our surrender in the War on Terror.

-Interesting point.
I suspect IF Hillary gets the nomination, she’ll go into Republican-lite mode.

“Read this, then look in the mirror and say you’re not going to vote if Hillary is the Democratic nominee.”

-I read it.

Looked in mirror (lookin’ good, dude!) and said:

“I’m not going to vote for Hillary if she is the Democratic nominee.”
“I fully intend to vote.”
“I just won’t vote for Hillary.”

Anyone but Clinton.

In my life, a Bush or Clinton has always been in the White House. If I wanted to live in a dynasty, I’d move to Bhutan.

Good news: it’s apparently all tied up in Connecticut now, and that doesn’t even account for Ted Kennedy’s endorsement. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/latestpolls/index.html

But honestly, I thought Dowd was trying to show that Clinton is a cold, calculating politician while Obama is a real person.

It is about our children. The Black Young Men and increasingly Young Women that Clinton has vowed to get elected on by sending them to the Prison Industrial Complex. So, for them, too, I say HELL NO to voting for Hillary.

She has absolutely no intentions of bringing the troops home. BANK on that.

Like I said above, if I wanted a Rethug War Monger, choose the original.

The terrorist win when you don’t vote.

I never said I wouldn’t vote. I said I’m not ever voting for Hillary.

It’s not going to happen. The GOP Bogeyman just isn’t going to work. That playbook has been used too many times.

ITA! It’s not about Obama or nothing. It’s about show the Clintons and the Democratic how to treat us.

So if Hillary wins the nom, I’m writing in a candidate.

Our sons and daughters serving in Iraq can’t stomach more Republican rule.

Let us also remember that Bill Clinton was impeached not so much for trying to conceal a personal, private sexual affair, but because he stood apppointed African Americans to high level positions and talked about America looking like America.

The media and the Republicans are using the divide and conquer strategy.Republicans know blacks aren’t going to vote for them so with the help of the media they are going to make sure blacks don’t vote for anyone.

For those of you that won’t vote for Hillary thinking you can endure another 4 years of Republican rule, I submitt it’s not about you. It’s about our troops, it’s about our children, it’s about our future, it’s about country, it’s about saving our Democracy.

The terrorist win when you don’t vote.

And good point about the disappearing of Howard Dean. When all of the “drug dealer”, “secular madrassa”, “shuck and jive” and MLK minimization was going on, Dean was M.I.A. It should never have been old-man Jim Clyburn that asked the Clintons to watch themselves. It should have been Dean (or at the very least, a DNC co-chair).

Based on their actions, I won’t be voting for any Democrat other than Barack. And if that means I have to stomach incompetent and inept Republicans in the White House for the rest of my days, then so be it.

This just cracked me up for the unvarnished truth in it.

If you haven’t already, check out that new E-Zine, The Root.com, with the piece, The REAL Prize – it’s about Michelle Obama.

I’m also going to have to co-sign with those who won’t vote for Hillary. Not now. Not ever. If I wanted a Rethug War Monger, then vote for the original – McCain.

Voting for her would make me complicit in her race-baiting, and thus I would be helping set into cement a ceiling for Black politicians. No way.

The irony is that Barack’s enemies — the neo-Nazi wing of the Clinton support system — now know that there’s no ghetto mess, baby-mama-drama or obligatory scandal that can be attached to him, so their intent now is to continue to remind white voters that Barack is … shhh …Black.

While the press corps was covering the State of the Union Address like the high school musical, some of us were focused on the reactions of the Democratic candidates to what Bush was saying. It didn’t escape my attention–no matter how hard the press tried to divert it–that Hillary Clinton gave Bush a standing-o when he said the surge was working. Hmmm, this is the person who says that she intends to bring troops home in 16 months? There isn’t a damn difference between Clinton and McCain except degrees.
