Obama admin's OPM, headed by a gay man, reportedly blocks lesbian from getting health benefits
"Reverend Wright was a Muslim"-Larry Johnson
Barack Obama is our next president.
Some friends came by last night, a gay couple. They were taken aback by my "Mama for Obama" bumper sticker. Shocked that I wasn't a Hillary supporter.
It saddens me to see otherwise delightful, intelligent people still stuck on the "Bill and Hill are pro-gay, always have been always will be, that's all I need to know about politics" train.
Talk about still living in 1992.
Yes, Bill was a breath of fresh air after 41's Presidency. But about 5 days after he got into office, I had a sick feeling in my stomach. And everything spiraled downward after that.
Bill and Hill have been shinin' us Boomers on, folks, they've been shinin' us on.
We don't need another 4-8 years of the Bush/Clinton family legacy rule.
Did you take the time to clue them in? Upon what are they basing their absurd belief? Bill and Hillary Clinton spearheaded the DADT military regulation which bans all openly gay soldiers and requires their discharge and sometimes even court-marshall. The Clintons also rushed through DOMA and enshrined anti-gay descrimination into federal regulations. There are many more examples and not least of which thousands of state level gay employees were fired during the Clinton Administration because of the anti-gay backlash they created. Now I rarely agree with Log Cabin Republicans on issues of policy. But their website has some of the best documentation of how Bill and Hillary Clinton set back civil rigths for glbt people for decades. The damage they did was devastating to many glbt families.

President Bush admits, on the record, to authorizing torture. Nothing happens.
What happened after Hillary said at the debate that she was honored to be on the stage with Sen. Obama. What happened???
And the biggest news item of the year, Bush admits he authorized torture, and all the MSM can talk about is Obama's comment about angry people!
If Clinton gets the nomination, I don't want to vote for her but we must remember, the next POTUS will be putting justices on the Supreme Court and we can't let the repugs do that!
I'm increasingly getting the feeling that both the McCain and the Clinton campaigns are scared - and not because of Obama's positions. They are worried because neither one of them has any enthusiastic support. Their fundraising efforts have failed to generate much grassroots support - instead they are dependent upon big name contributions to stay afloat.
People don't open their pocketbooks for candidates who may receive their votes merely as a holding-the-nose exercise. And American presidential politics over the last three decades has generally produced more candidates with less enthusiasm, so that has become the norm - both Clinton and McCain generate little positive enthusiasm and both view the office as a party and/or private entitlement.
We already know that McCain became the Republican nominee because conservatives are against the wall - their disastrous agenda has been so damaging to this country that they can't mount a viable candidate spouting their ideological bullshit for even dogcatcher this year. And Clinton, who claimed the office belonged to her early in the campaign (just as conservatives told us for four years that she would be the nominee) is shocked and appalled that it has actually become a fight.
How dare the American people actually consider a candidate who might speak to them about their fears, their aspirations, and their condition? For the entitlement elitists, the government belongs to the corporations, the lobbyists, and their media will dictate to us who will be President - after all, we all saw early in the primary season that they had no intention of letting us know much about any other candidate but the "chosen."
Yep - I'll have to vote for the Democrat who wins the nomination. But those who hold-our-noses will also understand that we are not getting leadership supported by the American people - we are getting another in a long line of pseudo-dictators.
Holy batshit, what a goddamn elitist thing to imply.
That does it...
I'm getting my check book and stratching a $2300.00 check to the Clinton campaign from my son and daughter's college fund.
This silverspooned maniac Barak Obama must be stopped before he destroys our country and then the world with such irresponsible and morally reprehensible musings.
and don't forget, Obama is lucky to be a black man.
The Clinton campaign is aware of the danger, and last week it began dispatching friends of Clinton from New York, Washington and elsewhere to key Pennsylvania communities to have "living room chats" with women.

Unfortunately, Hillary's people got their focus groups mixed up, and the 'living room chats" involved gun cleaning and shots of Crown Royal.
Oh poor Hillary the Victim.
I don't know which "liberal progressive blogs" you're referring to, that are talking about Monica and Vince Foster. I see a lot of disapproval for her lying and underhanded vote grabbing in the caucuses and building up the GOP candidate at the expense of her fellow democrat. If that's what you're talking about, she's the one acting like a rightwinger. Not the blogs.
Bill and Hill? What did they do with the money they made off of being co-president? They established a private foundation... translation? They are keeping it.
Funny you should mention it. My girlfriend and I *had* a copy of Hillary's "It Takes a Village (Idiot)" but it somehow found its way into our fireplace the other night. In 2005 we had been given Bill Clinton's "My Life" as a gift. By some strange coincidence, every time our new puppy has an accident inside the house, the pages from that book are the nearest thing to sop up the mess with, lol. At least we're putting it to good use.
that question means nothing to people who are sick and tired of every single thing that's been going on in this country for the last seven plus years.
we want Obama. he will trounce McCain in every state. that's it. get used to it.
Ohio - 20 votes
Colorado - 9 votes
What has happened to Hillary ... and Bill is tragic. These are two of the most capable people to come up for leadership of this great nation. Bill might have risen to be one of our most foreward thinking presidents, but instead he let his own blind ambition make decisions that should have been based on principle. Similarly, Hillary demonstrates the same lack of character and principle to an even more tragic degree and shows her lack of character even before achieving office.
I remember The Big Lebowski broke ground when they used the f-bomb 2.7 times a minute.
Hills used the word American 4.5 times per minute.
Unless she's pulling a Steve Ballmer, that's just redundant.
So, regardless of our real American history, the melting pot, a democratic meritocracy that Obama symbolizes-what else could she be saying?

He he he.. that's a good one.
what state will Senator Obama take that Senator Clinton will not? -Kipper

You mentioned three specific groups that have a finite amount of votes that Obama may not get. What you neglect to mention is the intangible but significantly larger chunk of the general population that may have voted for her, but are sickened by the disgusting campaign that she has waged. Therein lies the difference.
On the same blog, Hillary is a " white trash bitch" AND an " elitist" - Kipper

Well, you've got to hand it to her on that one.. not many people can be all things, yet she somehow pulls that one off..
Hillary is also at least the ninth woman who has run for president, clearly not as unique as she would have people believe. She is a racist, as is her husband, whoremonger Bill, and like him, she is most assuredly a liar. The Bosnia fabriucation and the sad health care story being just two recent examples. She is getting more and more despicable day by day, clutching at anything Obama might say in her pathetically desperate attempt to hold on to hopes to win the nomination. Clearly she is offering only same old same old Clinton political machine hogwash. Does Mrs. Richbitch really think the working poor in any state will buy her claims to help? She may have pulled the wool over the eyes of Pennsylvania's wrong-headed governor Rendell, and the newly elected mayor Nutter of Philadelphia, but I think the voters of my state are sharper than she gives them credit for being. I would not be surprised if their support has been traded for promises of Federal jobs were she to win.
Again I wish to point out people are not against Hillary because she is a woman, they are against her because of the sort of woman she is. She is a walking disaster, even worse when you realize she is dragging the additional cargo of whoremonger Bill on her back. After the cosmic disaster of the criminal incompetence and sheer idiocy of the Bush misadministration, Americans would have to be crazy to vote in either this pair of shysters, or for that matter Insane McCain, regardless of whom he chooses as his VP.
Pennsylvanians and everyone else who still has to vote:
VOTE FOR OBAMA, the only sane choice for America!

that is a very Bush/Rovian strategy. And its Hillary's main tactic now.
I think this whole mess is dividing the party.
