Sorry, cfin. Only one check per name caller, besides, 25 x 1000 is 25,000 dollars and you are barred by law of giving more than 2,000 dollars to a candidate.

Fact of the matter is, many of the tradiional Democrats do not like the CLintons'' high handed style...Carter is one of them.

Bill just needs to have an intimidating conversation with Carter to get his endorsement. Carter never had much of a backbone.

Not really all that surprising.

It is no surprise that Carter did not always approve of Bill CLinton while BIll was in office....and Carter often played a wild card and was viewed by the CLintons as a loose cannon regarding international diplomacy.

Some of the Wright''s comments are inexcusable and inappropriate and should be condemned, but in calling him "unpatriotic," let us not forget that this is a man who gave up six of the most productive years of his life to serve his country. How many of Wright''s detractors, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O''Reilly to name but a few, volunteered for service, and did so under the often tumultuous circumstances of a newly integrated armed forces and a society in the midst of a civil rights struggle? Not many. While words do count, so do actions. Let us not forget that, for whatever Rev. Wright may have said over the last 30 years, he has demonstrated his patriotism". IF THE ABOVE ARTICLE DOES NOT GIVE YOU CAUSE TO QUESTION THE VERACITY OF THE ATTACK MACHINATIONS PERPETRATED AGAINST REV. WRIGHT AND SEN. OBAMA THAN PERHAPS YOUR PATRIOTISM SHOULD BE QUESTIONED.

Since these comments became public we have heard criticisms, condemnations, denouncements and rejections of his comments and him. We''ve seen on television, in a seemingly endless loop, sound bites of a select few of Rev. Wright''s many sermons."

After leaving the service of his country, the young African-American finished his final year of college, entered the seminary, was ordained as a minister, and eventually became pastor of a large church in one of America''s biggest cities. This man is REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT the retiring pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, who has been in the news for comments he made over the last three decades."

Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger than the African-American youth, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through family connections. Who is the real patriot? The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country for six years or our three political leaders who beat the system? Are the patriots the people who actually sacrifice something or those who merely talk about their love of the country? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-oped0404wrightapr03,0,225570.story)
