Think about it!! "Everyone is represented in the Congress except the people." Change is warrented and justified. The people will never be represented inthe Congress unless there is a change in Washington.

For one to even imagine the President being awakened in the night and for him/her to make an instant decision to invade, bomb or do otherwise to a country is to beleive in the "tooth Fairy" Get real about this and elect an American.

My dear: angusmerlin2:10PMMay 12th 2008, I think that the following statement that you left on this blog (see below) is one of the best articles on the bias shown by the media towards Hillary Clinton. I also have debated within myself as to the Nov. general election and my ballot. As you, I am leaning towards a RIGHT IN vot for HILLARY CLINTON. I am a devoted democrat by I see no way that I can honestly vote for Obama as I do not feel he is ready for this job. Hillary is the only person that has all the credible credentials for President of the United States at this time. Thank you again for this wonderful post.....E. Hayes

Dear Democratic Party Hierarchy & American press core:

I have been a life member of the Democratic Party, as have been all of my family and indeed my Irish ancestors all the way back to the early 1800's, when they first came to America. You need to know how truly disgusted and angry I am over all the shenanigans that have been going on against Hillary Clinton, since day number one of the primary elections. You have both painted and showed the ugliest picture that you could possibly find of Hillary, while showing a young, vibrant Barrack Obama. When Hillary has spoken her truth, demonstrated her experience, and connection to everyday America, she has been ridiculed as inflammatory, divisive, racist and mean spirited; when Mr. Obama speaks essentially the same truth, but in more flowery words aimed at the young and more liberal sector of the Democratic Party and Independents, he has been lauded as the messiah, the healer, incapable of doing any wrong. When Hillary has mis-stepped, she has been beaten down to the ground and spit upon by the American press, as well as by much of the Democratic hierarchy; when Obama has mis-stepped, he has been helped back up and offered assistance. When Hillary has talked about her life experiences in politics, it has been so totally twisted out of reality as to represent an obscene monster-like essence; when Barrack's lack of experience, especially in foreign affairs has been brought up, it has quietly been hidden from the public, made to seem immaterial. Hillary talks of using experience to enact change effectively and rightfully; Barack talks of changing the American way of politics to enact a needed, future change. But the press has reported Clinton as tired, corrupt Hillary politics, while presenting a young, glowing vibrant all knowing Obama future. What utter irresponsibility and illusions the American press core and Democratic hierarchy have pandered to the American public. The fact of the matter is that both of the candidates are outstanding in their own right. But, Hillary, who has devoted over 30 some years to her love of helping others via her political career, has a much richer life experience in all areas. Barrack Obama simply does not possess the same political knowledge and wisdom that Hillary has accrued throughout her life. By the way, Mr. Obama, there are only 50 states, not 57 as you recently reported. But, perhaps you were only joking...

Then, there has been the ridiculous mess with the Democratic Party's refusal to seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan. Rules, rules, rules. What utter nonsense. There are, I understand, bylaws that would allow exceptions to be made. Obviously Obama has not wanted Florida and Michigan's votes counted, because it could cost him the election. The Democratic Party hierarchy should know better and have acted neutrally, somehow getting Florida's legally certified votes counted, and Michigan's primary re-done. Yet, it has been clear from day one, that Dean (the Democratic National Committee boss) has been in the pocket of Obama (who in turn has been backed by Senator Edward Kennedy). Not surprisingly, the Democrat National Committee has not championed getting these two states votes counted. In the case of Florida, it is one of the swing states. How extremely unwise that the Democratic powers to be have refused to seat Florida and Michigan's votes, especially interesting since Florida's 'illegal' voting date was pushed through by a Republican controlled legislature in Florida! Pushed through by a REPUBLICAN Florida legislature: So why in the world would the Democratic National Committee want to "punish" Florida's Democrats? Come November, Florida's Democrats may well decide to "punish" the Democratic Partiy back in retaliation and vote McCain. The Republicans will, I assure you, welcome the Floridian Democrats with two open arms. Why doesn't the Democratic National Committee just shot itself in the leg....

Finally, the Democratic hierarchy and the American press core have not been exactly honest about Hillary's greater electibility power. No matter how you cut it, the mighty electoral swing states are Hillary states. Based on the winner takes all electoral votes policy in the Presidential elections, Hillary has already won the Presidential Elections. Interestingly enough, very little has been said about this by the Democratic hierarchy and by the the news. How inconvenient this will be, if an Obama ticket losses the November elections!

In closing, for the first time I seriously am thinking of not voting Democratic, but rather registering my extreme displeasure with the Democratic Party by writing in Hillary Clinton's name as my choice for President. Many will say this is insane, ignorant, and stupid. Yet, in my conscience I must and will do what I think is right and that is to let the Democratic Party system know how absolutely disgusted with them I am. P.S. Democratic Party: I know many, many others, who feel exactly the same way I do and who plan to register their great upset the same way--- at the polls in November.

Rise up, Hillary and keep fighting!
Carpe Diem.

The Clintons should retire from politics.
Bill had his two terms, and left in disgrace,
and now he has his wife trying to get it back
for him, and she offers only mroe of same.
In all the 20 years, outside of the health
program, Hillary had the opportunity to fight
the economic problem before it became bad, and
with all the committee work, she's accomplished
very little, outside of attending parades and
her stance on the war, which not only cost
lives, and placed the US in more of a problem
if we need the army for "real" attacks. She
only came out against it to join the Obama
bandwagon. In fact, she's been following his
program and taking credit for it.
If anybody is out of touch with the people's needs,
as a Senator, she should have known these problems
with her experience.
She does not know the hard working middle class
problems, because she doesn't drive a car, has
two airplanes at her and Bill's disposal, and
has over 100 million to live on.
Enough of her claims to understand needs. Only
when you have struggled and dealt with the problems,
are you eligible to assimilate.
If she truly cared about the country, she'd bow out
now, instead of dividing the party into sectors, and
let the next guy clean up her left overs. She claims
to want the country to be together, another (Obama
idea)and she doesn't care if she destroys it enough
to weaken the foundation.
Bill and her should both go to Cuba and run for
office, after Castro croaks.

May 9 (Bloomberg) -- Senator John McCain, the 'presumptive'
Republican nominee, is struggling to attract money from some of the
same industries that helped bankroll President George W. Bush's
record-setting fundraising.

Employees from the securities, construction, pharmaceutical and
energy industries, who accounted for about a tenth of Bush's money in
2004, are turned off by his record and giving more to his Democratic
rivals, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

LMAO

With respect
This website does not represent myself as a VN vets views or many other many other VN vets views. They are using the Viet Nam service medal like it belongs to them instead of those that have earned it. They use it for political purposes for which it was not intended.

I agree with their right to disagree with others but please do not use something that wear proudly to push their own agendas. I do not care about the politics I care about the respect shown to the men and woman who wear the medal they have stolen for their own use.

War Is A Racket
Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933
by: Major General Smedley Butler, former Commandant USMC

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as
something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a
small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the
benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. I believe in
adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes
over here to fight, then we'll fight.

The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6% over
here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100%. Then the
flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.

I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy
investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight
for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of
Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

claudia4:05PMMay 12th 2008

Obama's campaign theme is that he is the candidate
of hope and change! If anyone still believes this
fairytale just google his relationship with
Tony Rezko! Obama is the biggest phony going!
He has a racist pastor who blames the white man
for everything and meanwhile his law firm was helping
out a Chicago slum lord from whom he took donations.
He's slick and a flawed candidate!

Anyone who votes for Obama is nuts. The man is not even qualified to run a boy scout troop.

Dan4:08PMMay 12th 2008

Obama uses phrases like "typical white person"

Obama is a member of a hate organization that pledges allegiance to Africa - not the U.S.

Obama lets his children listen to men who call Italians "garlic noses", and Jews "gutter people"



This man doesn't have a chance in the general, and Republicans are praying he gets the nomination.

solomeeeo4:09PMMay 12th 2008

what a selection to pick from............GEESH!!

Dan4:09PMMay 12th 2008

If John McCain or Hillary Clinton called someone a typical black person, there would be a senate hearing, and they would lose their jobs.

The media and the government may be giving Obama a pass because he's black, but I guarantee you the voters won't.

This isn't going away.

"Typical white person"?

He's lost.

McCain will mop the floor with him.

Valerie4:09PMMay 12th 2008

Does anyone know Howard Dean's address? I'd like to send him my voter registration card, since I won't be needing it this election. If Obama is the only Democratic choice, I'm jumping the fence.

Seriously. Email me if you know his address. Nascarfanof48@aol.com.
