- In the last 8 years or so Republicans have shown me that they will do anything and everything in their power to keep you from retaining an opinion based on the facts that their incompetence is comprised of.
Dems in 08........

- %u201CCouple that with 8 years of failure by conservatives and you have a cocktail for a beatdown. How is John McCain going to inspire the voter turnout for his party? His great speeches? Conservative talk radio? His flip-flop talk express bus overstuffed with Lobbyists? We all love to engage in punditry but the facts are the facts. Repubs do not have the votes to win. Outside of a total collapse (And I mean TOTAL colapse, not merely a split of the electorate)the Dem party they can offer up a broccoli f-art in a jar and still gain the White House. What planet are you conservatives living on?%u201D
Since when were Americans so afraid of competition? Why does the %u201Cmedia%u201D want to portray Democrats as defectors?
Opps you%u2019re right, they call liberals %u201Ctraitors%u201D all the time%u2026%u2026%u2026tell you what%u2026%u2026.
I would rather have a "inexperienced" Democrat wasting a billion on helping the poor or disabled or uneducated, than have a neo-con Republican blow a billion on killing tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi and thousands of US service men and women.

- Obama states that he went to Rev. Wright 20 years ago to %u201Cfind Jesus%u201D. I would like to know where he thought Jesus was prior to that. It is clear to anyone with an ounce of intelligence that Obama joined that high profile church ONLY to further his political ambitions which it did. It is equally obvious that Obama has bought into Wright%u2019s teachings. Obama has many faces, depending on what group he is trying to sell himself to. I thank Sean Hannity for exposing and FOX for continuing what the mainstream media has chosen to ignore and attempt to hide about their candidate.

- Shame on Mccain for having a little liberal in him.
Shame on OBOMA for insulting his white grandmother who raised him%u2026and insulting his white mother by insulting her mother..the people who raised him and sacrificed for him after his black, (non-american) father abandoned him and his mother. Shame on him for not having the guts to leave a blasphemous, anti-american, bigoted anti semite anti white %u201CPASTOR%u201D%u2026.now there is an oxymoron%u2026 who is doing nothing but educating his %u201Cflock%u201D to be another generation of racists like he is%u2026sheep follow their shepherds without thinking what they are doing%u2026they depend on their %u201Cpastors%u201D to not lead them astray. So what is OB going to do when his pastor does some spiritual advising and it is not in the best interest of the country, as is what he has already said..OB doesn%u2019t have the wherewithall to say NO to his %u201Cpastor%u201D. This OB man is NOT a uniter%u2026.he is so liberal that he would have us kill our unborn babies and have the terrorists kill our men, women and children. America, wake up! THINK! Don%u2019t let a smooth - talking wolf in sheep%u2019s clothing fool you%u2026.yes, he is very smart but is not to be trusted. - Reply to this comment
- McCain looks to Democrats?
E....e.......ahhhhhhhhh!!!
Hell no.........nice......... - Reply to this comment
- OOOOOOhhh you can smell it!!
The GOP will be HURTING in the next elections!!!!
The GOP/Republican tools on these forums wouldn''t dare talk about Republicans and their failed policies. Instead they help themselves feel better about blind support for the Republicans, by attacking Democrats trying to fan the flames of dissent within the DNC.
Well now I know, a vote for a Republican is literally a vote for ignorance, and misguided spending in an unnecessary war in Iraq, which causes more hate........
Democrats ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
Obama is an amazing speaker! I have never heard any politician speak so candidly and clearly about so many topics, much less the state of racism in America. I''d love to see a Republican address this subject in such a direct and intelligent way.
MAJOR APLAUSE FOR BARRAK OBAMA!!
I%u2019m proud to be a part of such a historic election. We can have our first woman or African-American President!!! This country has some healing to do and Republicans just GET IN THE WAY.
This election will be historic, and it%u2019s not about Hillary versus Obama, it''s about Democrat versus Republican.
Hillary or Obama, or both. Go Democrats! - Reply to this comment
- I guess the author doesn''t incorporate the fact that Independents are a growing number too. And independents probably will influence the vote more significantly than disaffected crossover voters. I am registered independent. And I know many others like myself who see no distinction in the policies of McCain and King George II. We can respect and thank McCain for his service to America. And it''s time to change leadership in DC...someone other than a republican.....which is something I hear from many more people especially former republicans.

- Obama--not a real Democrat, won''t let people vote in Florida or Michigan. Doesn''t deserve nomination, let alone election.
Go Hillary!
(or McCain) - Reply to this comment
- In a contest between Obama and McCain, a democrats'' vote for McCain is also a vote against Obama. It is a protest vote this Florida Democrat will cast against Obama if the Obama/McCain scenario develops. The Obama campaign opposed all attempts to find ways to include Florida in the Democratic Primary thinking such opposition would obtain for him the Democratic Nomination. That is certainly one way to do it. Make sure the states where you are at a disadvantage don''t count. I realize Obama didn''t create that situation but he certainly opposed any and all attempts at finding ways to include Florida voters. Since he opposed any chance I might have had to have my vote counted I will now oppose him at every turn and at every opportunity in the General Election should he get that far.

- Im a Democrat that changed over earlier this year. My entire purpose was to vote for the candidate that would focus on the economy and revitalize our nation once again.
Bring back Clintonomics!
IT''S ABOUT THE MONEY, STUPID!
However, given the circumstances... If Hillary does not run for President (either as a DEM or IND) I will cast my vote for John McCain.
I will be no part of the "ObamaNation."
Oh, by the way ... I don''t give a rip about someone''s color. If Colin Powell was running for President I would be voting for him 100%. - Reply to this comment
- Stupid Americans....we are %u201Cseek and yee shall find%u201D when we are looking for a reason to discredit someone, but when we know there is a reason to discredit someone we like, we put the blinders on.........go figure..........Americans think ID is science......whew.......Guess the GOP doesn''t want anyone to know the facts they just want you to know they are "right".
The notion that McCain can actually WIN in November is laughable. Do the simple math "My friends" The voter turnout through this entire election cycle has been a 2 to 1 margin in favor of Dems. That''s twice as many people voting for Dems than Repubs. Couple that with 8 years of failure by conservatives and you have a cocktail for a beatdown. How is John McCain going to inspire twice the voter turnout for his party? His great speeches? Conservative talk radio? His flip-flop talk express bus overstuffed with Lobbyists? We all love to engage in punditry but the facts are the facts. Repubs do not have the votes to win. Outside of a total collapse (And I mean TOTAL colapse, not merely a split of the electorate)the Dem party they can offer up a broccoli f-art in a jar and still gain the White House. What planet are you conservatives living on? Your Reagan Democrat pink cloud from 20+ years ago? - Reply to this comment
- how come no word of the indictments on the Governor of Puerto Rico, friend and superdelegate for Obama?
Hillary can forget to cover her mouth when she sneezes and there''s a story on it.
but Obama''s friends are caught stealing bundles of money, and no story at all!
come on, misogynist media! Are you still too busy sending pillows to the Obama campaign and giving him foot massages? - Reply to this comment
- If Dem superdelegates settle on Obama they are sure to lose the Hispanic vote. I am a Latino male. You can bet on it. Some will go for Nader who has a young, charismatic and popular Latino, Matt Gonzalez, who almost won the mayor''s race in San Francisco as his Vice Presidential pick, and others like me, will go directly for McCain, not wanting to throw our vote away.

- People still bitter over the in-fighting might not actually go out and vote for whoever gets the Democratic nomination, but they''re sure not going to to out and vote for McCain . . .

Well, I certainly am, if we Dems are fool enough to put up Obama--and I know others who will too. Obama is Obamanable! Michelle, I am proud and have always been proud to be an American. Perhaps I don''t agree with McCain on politics, but at least I know he''s proud to be American. Seems to me a prerequisite to be in the White House. - Reply to this comment
- Oh give me a break - I ''vetted'' these claims on another board, and when you point out that a vote for McCain would essentially be a vote to KNOWINGLY send a potential 2000 troops back to die in a war people KNOW can''t be won, people don''t stand by that claim.
I don''t question peoples'' sincerity because I know how infuriating some of the claims and counterclaims can get. However, when it comes down to actually considering the platforms in terms of consequence, peoples'' consciences ultimately override all else.
