I like how Obama’s speech today was about how the war needs to end and the nation needs to learn something from it about going to war based on ideology instead of fact. Then CNN followed that clip with Clinton’s speech in Detroit where she said that soldiers from Michigan have died in the war, and those from Mich. still fighting deserve a CinC who will bring them home, so that’s why it’s so urgent that the DNC seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida so soldiers from those states will get to pick her as the next president, or something. It seemed to me like one was talking about ending the war because it’s wrong while the other was using the war for cheap political gain.

Although, as someone else has already noted, if Obama is so genuinely interested in ending this war, why does the military need to increase in size? Will that new larger military be necessary for all of the new better smarter wars that Obama plans to rain down on all of the other countries in the world that happen to not be Iraq? Or will it be intended to help enforce the economic policies of his Chicago school advisers here? Looks like we’ll find out soon.

Methinks they Donâ€™t get it. Nader wonâ€™t save the troops lives. Neither will Ron Paul. Voting for Nader or Paul doesnâ€™t mean less dead Iraqi children killed by American bombs.

…and neither does voting for Barack or Hillary at this point. Maybe a Nader or Paul third party candidacy can change that.

Work for your third party panaceas if you will, but throwing away a vote while people are dying may just be the most irresponsible thing of all.

Speaking of Philly Freedom: "...the only path to victory for Clinton is via coup by super delegate."

Elton John is doing a fundraising concert for The Hillary.

That has to make a difference, if only by one level of Philadelphia Freedom shittiness.

Well, perhaps the utter destruction of the Democratic Party would be a good thing if out of it comes a REAL political party that actually represents The People and not corporations.

Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Lew ‘gets it’. There are not two parties. “morphing from the party of economic justice” simple image peddling. There will be no economic justice while our money is built on a monopoly fiat system. Faith is running out and that is all that backs Federal Reserve Not-es. Those who depend on SS are in for very hard times.
GO RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!

I was done with the Democrats shortly after November 2006, when I realized that they weren’t going to stop the illegal and immoral activities of the Bush ADDministration. I was rallying around Kucinich this time, but realized the Democrats are just another cult of personality, like the Republicans, knee deep in Aipac money and no vision for any real change.
GO NADER!!!!!!!!!
