If they give HRC the nomination, we should go to McCain as a group, ask him to support two or three of Obama's principal issues, and vote for McCain as a major voting block. He is not going to promise to pull the troops out of Iraq, but he might be persuaded to lower the cost of healthcare for everyone on the front end with subsidies instead of on the back end with tax credits. He might also be willing to giving more federal assistance to schools or actually fully funding and amending the No Child Left Behind Act. Essentially, we would ask him to adopt two or three of Obama's issues in exchange for our votes. If enough of us stick together, we could almost certainly gurantee him a victory in November, and it would show the Dem. Party that we have some negotiating power. <br/><br/>I'd rather McCain win it than HRC, but too many people sacrificed for us to have the right and privilege to vote for us to just stay home. Let's try to get something for our votes in addition to some payback! I have an idea.

We are a forgiving people and it takes a lot for us to cut the cord.

-If I may, a slight change:

“IF I voted for her AFTER SHE STEALS IT, then I, and every other Black voter who votes for her, would be saying that Black folk belong PERMANENTLY UNDER THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BUS.”

I will not vote for Hillary Clinton, and don’t start the “ohh, what about the Supreme Court justices, ohhh, I’m getting the vapors!”

Hillary would co-sign with the Republicans to get what “she” wants, and I believe she would throw pro-choice nominees under the bus in order to accomplish that.
