Great, now let''s make sure that the "Super Delegates" use their votes to comply with the popular vote.

I''m only too happy to bash crappy trade unions that sold out the Union movment...the kind of "I''ve got mine, Now you go to ''ell" unionism" that we''ve seen in the auto and steel industry. Industrial Unionism such as that practised by the IWW, I support.

And yes, I''ve worked in a paper mill before...in the digester room...didn''t like it one bit...a nasty, nasty soul destroying place not made any better by the fact that I was reading THE GREENING OF AMERICA at the time. I''ve also moved furniture for HAVERTY and was once a pin boy...but the nastiest job of all was the job that my hero, Al Bundy, the man who scored four touchdowns in a high school game, performed...I once sold women''s shoes....:)

Steelpit....that''s not true!

Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama''s late Muslim father belonged. Obama''s older brother still lives there. Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage. Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications. Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country. He has also vowed to ban booze and pork and impose Muslim dress codes on women %u2014 moves favored by Obama''s brother. With al-Qaida strengthening its beachheads in Africa %u2014 from Algeria to Sudan to Somalia %u2014 the last thing the West needs is for pro-Western Kenya to fall into the hands of Islamic extremists. Yet Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak by phone with Odinga, who claims to be his cousin. He did not speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.

Well I for one can certainly understand Hillary''s position in assuming that Bush would keep his word before haphazardly attacking a heck of a lot easier than my conscience will allow me to think about infants having their brains sucked out for having done nothing but had the audacity of hope and will to live outside their mother''s wombs. Now he''s announced that he''s for the right to bare arms. Is there no one he won''t pander a vote from. Your man is sick - an opportunist at best and won''t even come clean about his connection to terrorist in Africa. OH Infidel....It just came out in the New York Times - Lewis is backing Obama to follow the wishes of his constituency. Guess we can expect an announcement that John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy will be switching sides to Hillary? Yea Right!

I guess alot of people have forgotten the Whitewater mess BOTH the clintons were a part of

[steelpit1967]

some want to point out partial abortion.. why not point out the authorization to go to war in Iraq. Hillary says she didn''t know it gave Bush the "authority", yet the name of the bill was titled... "Presidential Authorization to go to war in Iraq". She''s a liar and has been exposed as one.

Obama has done alot (as a senator) to help quell the situation in Darfur... something that''s been ongoing and worse than what was going on in Iraq. Difference is that there''s no OIL there, so America turns a blind eye to it. As for his connections to Radical Islam, he''s lived a majority of his life in America... to say that he''s got "radical" connections is like saying a person of german decent has Nazi connections... it''s bogus.

I''d like to have ANYONE (the clintons included) bring up some dirt on Obama that he hasn''t already brought up himself. Something that hasn''t been uncovered. Something that''s fact, not fiction.

sjbj2322,

I''ve been voting since I got the right back in 1972 and I''ve yet to find the perfect candidate who always votes the way I would. I certainly wouldn''t include votes for partial birth abortion as a reson to support a candidate.

I also wouldn''t include sending our troops into a needless war without an after combat plan and after refusing to support an initiative to preface their involvement upon the completion of international inspections. I guess neither one of us can perfectly claim the moral high ground based upon who we support.

infidel,

The super delegates like Kennedy and Lewis are under pressure from their constituents and from the Campaigns. The smart ones are sitting on the fence while the foolish ones are allowing themselves to be played like everyone(like Lewis).

[infidel_us]

go figure but then again, they are feeling awfully pressured by their constituents.

Thanks for the info sj.....we''re getting a different story here in GA. I''ll wait and see how it plays out before commenting further. Thanks again.

She served as a diplomatic liason visiting 80 countries during her tenure as First Lady and made invaluable contacts. Seems to me the only foreign contacts with whom Obama has close ties are radical Muslims in Kenya.

Infidel...I know they have discussed it but as of this morning no change in their initial endorsements have been made. They probably will - go figure but then again, they are feeling awfully pressured by their constituents.
