Clinton Camp Meets Secretly in Denver: “Vote Your Conscience”
KANSAS CITY, MO. — 1 a.m. EDT
Traveling with Barack Obama but aware of goings-on in Denver.
Have received word that top Clinton strategists, gathered by Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager Maggie Williams, met privately late Monday in Denver to plot convention strategy. The main topic: what to do about Wednesday’s roll call vote.
At the meeting Williams, The Bourbon Room was told, emphasized Clinton’s message earlier in the day that she hopes her delegates will support Obama.
At the meeting were Clinton’s top field organizers from the campaign as well as some of the Clinton’s most ardent supporters in state delegations. These supporters are, in many cases, convention delegates. More importantly, they serve as leaders within their state delegations and could hold the key to whether rank-and-file delegates support Obama or not.
During the question-and-answer session, a person who attended the meeting informs The Bourbon Room, Williams said delegates still loyal to Clinton, even after her appeals to support Obama, should “vote their conscience.”
A Clinton ally who was not at the meeting but who spoke to Williams directly said the context was the delegates should vote their conscience if they felt they had no other choice. Meaning, if Clinton’s appeals weren’t enough, they must follow their deeply held beliefs. Williams explained after the meeting that it would have been insulting to tell delegates anything else. Williams said her “vote your conscience” line should not be interpreted as an act of sabotage against Obama, but merely a recognition that some Clinton supporters will do what they feel they must.
This is not the interpretation of the person who attended the meeting and heard Williams. The witness to the meeting left with the perception that Williams gave delegates permission to vote for Clinton and against Obama.
Such is the stuff of the internal Clinton discussions about what to do with and about their hyper-loyal delegates. Even those on the same team (Clinton’s) can’t agree on what the phrase “vote your conscience” means literally or figuratively. This makes it difficult to discern team Clinton’s true wishes, intentions and directives. This has been a beguiling and befuddling reality for Obama advisers for some time.
But even Clinton forces who want to play nice lament the fact that Obama’s team waited so long to sort out things like the roll call vote. The delay has forced a story about process, hurt feelings and imagery of discord into the convention’s opening day.
To patch things up, Clinton and Obama aides hit the convention floor tonight to obtain signatures to formally place Clinton’s name in nomination for Wednesday’s roll call vote. This was a defensive move, designed to overwhelm a rump group of grumpy pro-Clinton delegates who had already obtained the 300 signatures necessary to call for the vote.
With a roll call a procedural certainty, the Obama and Clinton camps swiftly arranged to hit the floor to gain even more signatures than the rump group had.
The two camps are still trying to negotiate an abbreviated roll call that will allow for the counting of an as-yet unknown number of Clinton delegates before the convention nominates Obama by acclamation.
Clinton’s speech is still being written.
And though many pundits and commentators are likely to say Clinton must use Tuesday night’s speech to persuade her delegates – and the vast audience of Clinton loyalists watching at home — to back Obama, top Clinton officials have had enough of this kind of pre-speech pressure .
The emerging consensus in Hillary’s camp is that Clinton can not be asked to solve Obama’s problem. They say it’s up to Obama to make the case for his economic policies and respond to persistent questions about his experience, toughness and vision.
According to Clinton allies, no speech from Clinton or anyone else can do for Obama what he most needs to do for himself.

this is a worthless waste of time and typical Fox BS. you are a clown – not a journalist.
I think it’s about time to stop courting Clinton followers and let the chips fall where they may. You just can’t keep sucking up to these people.
you suck as a journalist.
hi
Fox is truly an evil company masquerading as news
Major you are stiring up a hornets nest, it would look better if CNN did it instead of FOX. Go Puma’s Hillary was robbed, just ask Spike Lee.
FoxNews is openly campaigning for McCain. It was already known that some Clinton delegates would vote for her. FoxNews should use their conscience. I remember when news networks would not just cheerlead for one candidate over another.
It’s no wonder that Democrats boycotted FoxNews for the debate. Bad form, Rupert.
This is Fox News speaking for the McCane/Bush ticket.
The Clinton supporters who choose to hold to their principles continue to miss the big picture goal of this election. We must not allow the Republican party to continue to ruin this Country. Maybe Clinton would have been the better President, maybe she didn’t get a fair shake from the media. And sometimes life isn’t fair. But now we must look beyond the school play yard at the big picture – the next four years. And really beyond that. There will be Supreme Court Justices replaced during the next four years. There will be the rights of women reduced further if Republican politics continue to run Washington. Do the Clinton supporters really want to be responsible for the ‘longer than four years damage’ that will occur if a Democrat is not President? Even if he doesn’t do the best job – or do it the way ‘they’ like, or the way Hillary would have done it, Obama did win the primary election. Continuing to divide the Democratic Party will damage us far beyond the next four years. Help elect Obama. Then go ahead the next four years and say “I told you so” when he doesn’t do things the way Clinton supporters like. But they know at the corp of what Clinton wanted to accomplish are the same goals and values Obama wants. When it comes down to it … better Obama than McCain. Isn’t that what we all need to remember?
Clinton didn’t win in part because her campaign was disorganized, with too much infighting and a lack of imposed discipline. Now it looks like she’s carrying over the same (lack of) leadership style into the convention.
By the way, Major, the word you want is acclamation, not acclimation. The latter means getting used to the climate.
This is exactly what you would expect from sore losers.I really cant see what even allowing a “roll Call ” vote will do in either case , piss Clintons supporters off even more knowing it’s just a pacifier, or to make the entire convention about Obama appeasing these party crashers.
Shame on all of you for pushing this debate way too far, and shame on the DNC for allowing it to become a part of this convention.The Convention is supposed to be about the Kickoff of the actual RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE, not the long over, and way drawn out nomination fight.
I truly hope people at the convention, even the supporters of Clintons, realize they are a part of the change we need in this country, and it is their responsibility to help relate that to the America that is watching with every fiber of their being , to see change and feel hope, not watch a bunch of Politico Idealists cause a fight on the convention floor.
Hillary Clinton and her supporters just can’t seem to ‘get over it’. What an embittered, entitled group. “Vote your conscience” is Hillary’s thinly -veiled way of saying “cast your votes for me- you know you want to, and I want you to.” Otherwise she would say “unite and support our nominee” as most decent candidates who sincerely want their party’s nominee to win an election. Hard to believe but her ego is bigger than her sizeable hips. How self-serving! Watch for her convention speech full of faint praise for Obama and milking her status as woman who would be Madam President. She’ll bask in the spotlight with her bitter old female supporters crying their eyes out for her. If ever there was a need for a giant hook to get her finally, FINALLY off the stage! Unlike other contenders for president at past conventions, the Clinton camp just doesn’t know how to concede graciously and get behind the party nominee. Theirs is a half-hearted effort through gritted teeth and insincere, lukewarm calls for unity. Sadly, this is a year for a transition of the Democratic old guard. Edwards is finished, the Clintons just don’t know how to leave with some grace and class, Ted Kennedy is a dying lion. We need to elevate the party beyond the old guard. I pray the McCain presidency won’t be Bush act III. Thanks to the Democrats divisive and negative (thanks to Hillary) primary, I don’t think they can survive the fatal wounds in order to rally behind Obama. It’s a pity- we deserve a president who rises above the nasty Karl Rove election tactics. Just wait, “my friends”, McCain will unload some real negative campaign ads and claim it’s just “humorous, good fun”. Red necks everywhere will look for any way out of voting for a black man and legions of old white women who couldn’t get over the fact that most of us didn’t support Hillary, will feel vindicated that the man who won the nomination over their beloved martyr, Hillary, did not become president.
Maggie Williams “vote your conscience” remark, underscores what I have suspected all along -that Hillary Clinton does not, in her deepest recesses, want Sen. Obama to win! Otherwise, why would a low calibre campaign staffer, who is not among the sharpest in the business, feel it was her place to instruct Clinton delegates to “vote your conscience”?
As for Hillary Clinton supporters: I hope you people give Sen. Obama your votes at the convention, and especially, during the Nov. general election. Anything less, would be rather foolish, because, you would have geopardized your interests.
To all Hillary supporters, who are still hell-bent on Hillary, inspite of the outcome of the Primary: is it not really, foolish, that you people, like sheep, seem not to recognize that your lives could and should go on with or without Hillary Clinton? Sen. Obama and Biden can meet your needs for improved quality of life, perhaps, better than Hillary ever could.
Crying over spilt milk is not going to get you anywhere, voting for McCain is worse, and seating at home would be your worse option. You are not stupid, so, I expect you would, like a good Democrat (not Joe Lieberman Democrat), vote for the Democratic ticket.
[...] for each otherMajor Garrett at Fox News reports from Denver backrooms. “Top Clinton strategists, gathered by Hillary [...]
Puhleeasse! Learn to write! I had such a hard time following this because of it’s inability to adhere to the appropriate tense – ugghhhh!!!
If there is a possibility for Clinton to steal the nomination at the convention, believe me, she is doing everything in her power to see that it is done. If in the end she see it is impossible, then she will back Obama fully.
I will not believe Bill and the Hildabeast are not going to try and steal this until the convention is over.
There is no way Obama can change my mind at this point. The rampant cheating in caucus states did it for me. He only won one primary and that was his own state. Without those crooked caucuses he would not be the nominee at all. To even be having a debate about whether or not her name should go into nomination or have a full roll call on the floor is insulting to her supporters and everyone who voted for her.
This is not about Senator Clinton anymore, this is about a crooked process and a selection not an election. It is so much bigger than Senator Clinton and at this point there is nothing even she can do or say to win us over to Obama. The same man who sat silent for rampant sexism in the media during HER historic race and the only reason he said nothing was because it worked to his advantage. I hear this over and over among PUMA members. To ask some of us to vote for Obama is the same thing as asking a person of color to suddenly vote for someone they think used racism to win. You’d not even dream of asking that of them but, because these are mostly “women” it’s fully expected we will once again follow that yellow dog whistle calling us home.
Not this time. This man is not vetted and those of us who might have voted for him at the beginning of this process now see exactly what the DNC had in mind all along. There is even now rumors of a secret vote being cast from the delegates hotels instead of on the floor for “security concerns” of the Obama camp. There is a documentary being made about the caucus fraud. People in the media keep missing the entire point of why there is so much anger. It’s not “hurt feelings” such a phrase diminishes what we are outraged about here.
Senator Obama did not win the popular vote, there was rampant cheating at the caucuses that was indeed reported during this proces and we all saw it while nothing was done, they crowned him in Washington at the “rulz” committee meeting wherein they broke there own rules and gave away Clinton’s delegates to a candidate who did not earn them. When you have caucuses that only represent five percent of voters deciding the nominee and you have to cheat to even win that much you are going to earn for yourself some people who expect justice to be done here. Especially when the historic nature of her race has been so disrespected and diminshed.
We will remember in November and beyond, all the way down the ticket.
Please vote for Hillery at the roll-call. Hillery Clinton deserves her voice too be heard from her delegates. Obama did say, if I am correct, let the Florida and Ohio delegates be counted after Hillery bowed out.
Sorry, I made a mistake on the two states with delegates, it is Florida and Michigan instead of Florida and Ohio. Go ahead and let them have their vote.
foxnews is a joke. people who read it are threatened by the world & seek shelter in their narrow minded views
Yes she doesn’t need to be a cheerleader but she needs to be a responsible party leader and not a whining princess. She needs to point out to her lemmings that not voting or voting for Mr. noun…verb…POW, is completely against what she stands for. Barack is doing a great job making the case for his economic policies and responding to questions about his experience, toughness and vision, but you need to shut up and listen and listen and listen.
John McCain has PTSD, evidenced by the fact that it is all he thinks about, it consumes him and he can’t get past it. I dont want to degrade is sacrafice but I dont want a shell shocked president.
A big part of this Republican propaganda, and the media tryimg to create tension for a story; and for the Clintonites that are thinking of casting a protest vote: it is now time to let it go, and back Obama: the other remainig option is to be crucially responsible for letting McCain crash this country to the ground.do you really want that foe your children, for women, etc.
Hey Norma! I’m voting for John “Wayne” “Lucas” McCain, too. You must live out west like I do. I sure liked Chuck Connors as “Lucas McCain” in the “Rifleman.” Anyways, they should make a movie on John McCain. Better yet, as President we can watch McCain on TV make more history everyday as we witness his America Presidential Story unfold. This is a greater story than what Obama’s would be which would be that of serving out Jimmy Carters second term. Show one thing that would be different. Same rhetoric, same bull. That’s the “change” Obama promises only worse because Obama and everybody else should have learned from it but they still want to go back there. “Some “change!”
Barack, come back after you get some more experience in about 12 or 16 years after McCain and Hillary Clinton finish their Presidential terms. You know you wouldn’t be where you are if the Democrats knew you like they know you now before “Super Tuesday.” “Bad break, “Hillary,” considering everything, you got ripped off, “Big Tiiiiiime.”
Why the Coming Elections are Very Important?
Over the next decade, the US Federal deficit will accumulate up to $6 trillion. It is amazing that in one decade we witnessed the largest surplus and largest deficit in the history of the country. Continued large deficit will crowd our private investment and force us to continue borrowing heavy sums from abroad. It would increase the amount to be dedicated to interest payments and further weaken the future ability to borrow.
The Fed will start paying off old investors with funds borrowed from new ones at high interests. We will have limited funds for investment into capital projects such as roadways, bridges and airports infrastructure or education of our kids. As a result, the Fed will heavily dip into American wallets with higher taxes to an extent that consumption will heavily be reduced. The current administration’s fiscal policies have not only imposed a large tax burden on the future generations but have also curtailed their standard of living.
In democratic societies, changes come through changes in leadership and policies. This is why the upcoming November 2008 Elections are very important for the country’s youths as well as adults who are concerned about them. It is about choosing leaders who embrace or inspire greatness among us and discarding those who are not only divisive but also favor of pettiness.
Regardless one’s political affiliation, the coming elections is about vision, optimism, national security, fiscal responsibility collaborations and not the usual divisive politics.
Why believe anything that Fox News says ever? You have no credibility.
What’s wrong with the media and Americans? Obama and his wife can’t hide behind the bus carrying Obama’s associations for the past twenty years or more.
Where is Reverend Wright? Where’s Jessie Jackson? Where is Sharpton?
Did all of us ignore the fact that Obama mentored with an anti American, radical, racist: Reverend Wright.
What about William Ayers, Louis Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam supporters?
This is an introduction to a President?
Could you just imagine if McCain was friends and mentored with the KKK?
Wake up America.
Where is the reporting?
Obama’s past associations is an introduction and a clear picture of Obama’s character.
Please, for the sake of our country, stop hiding all of Obama’s past.
I don’t want to have lunch with Obama or Michelle.
Neither one is not like me. They’re both scary.
Obama hopes the Americans are sleeping.
So does Michelle.
All of a sudden, Michelle loves this country now that Obama stole the primaries.
Obama is a disgrace. He’s embarrassing.
What is wrong with the media.
What are they afraid of.
Examine and report on Obama. The media should for all presidential candidates.
Obama’s HOPE message is that he can pull this off
He keeps changing his mind……..that’s his CHANGE message.
Rezko the criminal.
Ayers the domestic terrorist.
Reverend Wright the racist.
Obama for President?
Wake up Democrats! Wake up America!
Run from any presidential candidate with Obama’s connections.
The reason many Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama is because they are embarrassed of him, his life, his unfair tactics and his beliefs. And they still don’t know all about him.
1. They don’t want a candidate that has been in a twenty year relationship with Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.
2. They don’t’ want a candidate that has a twenty year relationship with Father Pflaeger and refers to him as his compass in life
3. They don’t want a candidate that went to a church that supports Louis Farrakhan, an anti Semitic racist, that has led a rally of 20,000 Nation of Islam members to support Obama in Chicago
4. They don’t want to defend Black Liberation theology.
5. They don’t want a candidate that lies about his relationship with Tony Rezko, the Syrian Criminal that sold his property to Obama and supported his campaign.
6. They don’t want a candidate that could work with a domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
7. They don’t want a candidate that Hamas supports.
8. They don’t want a candidate that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support
9. They don’t want a candidate that has a wife that has just now realized she was proud of our country.
10. They don’t want a candidate that denies Florida and Michigan their voices
11. They don’t want a candidate that mentions 57 states in his speeches. 50 states in the USA and 57 states in the Nation of Islam (IOC website)
12. They don’t want a candidate that fights unfair and hyjacks Michigan delegate votes from his opponent.
13. They don’t want a candidate that is inexperienced, especially dealing with military issues.
14. They don’t want a candidate that considers it a loss to not to be able to attend his anti American, racist Church.
15. They don’t want a candidate that has a “non practicing” Muslim father, but avoids the entire discussion of his father.
16. They don’t’ want a candidate that won’t debate
17. They don’t’ want a candidate that misleads the youth with an ‘Obama girl and her behind in their face”
18. They don’t want a candidate that says he’s an African American and missed the MLK Remembrance Day and the Louisiana Black Caucus meeting
19. They don’t want a candidate that enjoys laughing at sexism.
20. They don’t want a candidate that switches his position on gun control, FISA, the war in Iraq and abortion issues.
21. They don’t want a candidate that showcases his daughters on TV shows.
22. They don’t’ want a candidate that has poor judgment..
23. They don’t’ want a candidate named; Barack Hussein Obama
24. He is embarrassing.
25. He scares them to death.
Why should anyone let anybody tell them how to vote, especially a biased party or a politician?
Yes, the Clinton’s speaches may be important to many but I would like to hear them speak about what they really think and not what they are forced to say.
HRC supporters, stand your ground and do not vote for Obama.
It’s all about the Clintons. The Clinton Campaign wants Obama to prove to them he’s worthy of their votes and support, while undermining him through actions and words like this — and at the same time, calling for him to pay off the campaign debts, that Hillary created through bad fiscal judgment.
“Me, me, me, me, me.”
“This makes it difficult to discern team Clinton’s true wishes, intentions and directives.” Your quote sounds like classic Clinton tactics to me. Muddy the water so Hil’s footprints won’t be quite so glaring. It’s worked in the past so many times, why not now? The whole situation makes for a most interesting convention! This is almost, but not quite, better entertainment than the Olympics.
i think the vote should go all the way and let all the states vote what is wrong do they think Hillary will get more then his highness will so be it let the best woman/man win and in this case lets hope it is the best woman HILLARY 2008, Janet, from WV,
I feel the Obama campaign is trying to rewrite the past by undermining what both Senator Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton have done for the party and for themselves. He will lose the presidency because he lacks a vital character trait needed for all presidents……charm. He lacks the ability to disagree with an opponent and still appear like a statesman. His child like tantrums over the press whenever they disagree is astounding. How many times has he put down foxnews correspondent Sean Hannity in the past few weeks. All that does is make him appear small and inept. A president has to be able to face the remarks with concern not empathy. I am a lifelong democrat and will not vote for Barack Obama. Quite frankly, (yes I am and was a HRC supporter) I find the shoving of the senator down my throat politically speaking stiffling. Furthermore, I feel he’s fractured the party by alienating two of the most beloved Democrats of our time. People still remember the prosperity and peace they lived in under the Clinton administration. To slander and undermine that is the very reason he is dead even in the polls during an election deemed a cake walk for Democrats. Well, I find it so amusing that in June the Obama campaign were filled people saying that HRC supporters were delusional and yet now their candidate can’t be elected without us. Well good luck, on election day I will be writing in Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name in on the ballot.
I personally am writing in Hillary for President. She is my ONLY choice
Could the Clintonian intrigue be to signal a pre-ordained convention drama whereby they throw Biden aside in leu of Hillary? Could the Dems be that calculating? Making the convention actually appear to have value other than a PR show?

Hillary has told her folks do what you want in private. She is still pessed off at Obama, but she knows she has to put on good face or the blacks will not vote for her in 2012 when she makes another bid.
I am in Denver now and have it on good authority that Hillary will be victorious after the first roll call and any others after it. There are so many delegates that have switched from Obama to Clinton. They are very upset with the DNC as a whole. They realize that the fix was in and are tired of being threatened by Dean and Pelosi. They will do this on national TV so there can be no misunderstandings of the Clintons pushing this.
The delegates are doing it all on their own and have had many private meetings between them.
They are the ones that want the democrats to win the white house with the only candidate, Hillary, that can pull it off. They know that Obama will lose in a landslide to McCain.
Make sure you watch it all on Wednesday… it will be history in the making.
Jason you are a left wing punk that only wants to here your side of a story. I suggest you watch WSNBC that way you can have the news you want. One sided Bullsh—-.
I think the delegates should vote who they feel is the best canidate for the party. I feel Hillary would make the best president.
FYI,
Clinton recieved just as many votes from voters as Obama and deserves the right to have her name on the floor. The DNC pushed superdelegates to back Obama so once again they have the nominee who they want regardless of what voters say.
Talk about a man controlled by his wife Michelle is acting more like she is running than Obama is. First she said she would not have Hillary on ticket and during the VP decision she was there and made sure he picked who he wants. She also is the one who told Obama to quit smoking to run for president. Obama said in the forum how he would listen to Michelle for guidance and direction what worries me is her comments on America and Obama comments are so close to Wright that it is scary and how the news does not call them on the lies! Here are some examples:
1: Ayers- Obama knew him and was/is friends with him at late as 2007 ..Listen to what Bill Ayers, who hosted Barack Obama’s first fundraiser for campaign.
At the same event, Obama’s friend and supporter Bernadine Dohrn described the United States as “the monster.” Obama was 47 years old at the time
_________________________________________-
2: Wright- Obama has claimed he wasn’t there during all the anti American and Israel ranting but records show Obama ordered CDs when he was able to attend the church. Also he later admitted how he heard “some” negative comments.
________________________________________________________
3: Obama said he voted against the war- not true he was not even in senate to vote!
______________________________________________-
4: Obama claims he didn’t vote against the infant protection bill- Another lie he not only voted against it he shelved it in ILL.
But Obama voted against this bill in the Illinois senate and killed it in committee. Twice, the Induced Infant Liability Act came up in the Judiciary Committee on which he served. At its first reading he voted “present.” At the second he voted “no.”
The bill was then referred to the senate’s Health and Human Services Committee, which Obama chaired after the Illinois Senate went Democratic in 2003. As chairman, he never called the bill up for a vote.
Jill Stanek, a registered delivery-ward nurse who was the prime mover behind the legislation after she witnessed aborted babies’ being born alive and left to expire, testified twice before Obama in support of the Induced Infant Liability Act bills. She also testified before the U.S. Congress in support of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
Stanek told me her testimony “did not faze” Obama.
___________________________________________
5: Obama says he would think about drilling in America- Another lie he has no intention of allowing it and after Nancy Poloski made it clear to Obama she would stop the bill he changed his mind ( sort of).
______________________________________________________
Also, as many all over the anti-idiotarian and military blogs have noted numerous times, if this were John McCain being long-time friends with a terrorist who used to blow up abortion clinics and kill abortion doctors and was not repentant at all, it would immediately end John McCain’s political career (and rightfully so). The utter hypocrisy and sick double-standard is ridiculous with the Left and the Democratic Party as a whole.

And msnbc and cnn are not? What a bunc of crock. Well, for your info fox is # 3 in the ratings msnbc and cnn are down in the 40’s. So I guess you are wrong there.
Some of these delegates are bound by state law to cast their votes for the candidate they pledged too. I assure you our organization will be watching and those that do not we will contact the AG of their state to have them prosecuted. They represent the voters that sent them.
I understand their may not be a full roll call vote. Fine I have filed a complaint in Texas abou the fraud with Secretary of State. Also filed a complaint asking for review of the Democratic party operating elections within the state and asking us as citizens to spend millions of dollars to hold primaries and not even be allowed to participate in the roll call at the Democratic convention. We don’t have to support their shenanigans.
Many Americans are filing the same complaints within their prospective states.

Obama supports infanticide. That is all I need to know about him. Everything else means nothing.
McCain08
Response to Al from NJ………Finally, someone has said everything I have been saying to my friends, which I now have lost three. I knew the liberals were bad news but to elevate B. Hussein Obama to this level knowing his background and his corruption with the Illinois machine and the Chicago machine is terrifying. Al, maybe you can answer this one….there was a form that BO filled out asking if he ever used another name besides Barak Hussein Obama his answer was no. There is a document that the name Barry Soetoro was entered on a form. Is there anything we can trust about this guy? Are the Democrats so cockeye that his background would be acceptable to Americans? I think he should find some country overseas and he would fit in very well.
If BO becomes the next President I will be unable to read a newspaper or watch TV for 8 years!!
where is Clintons spine? She went this far, why not go all of the way? Obama has not tried to be helpful to her. The 3 o’clock e-mail was definately a slap in the face. With 1/2 of all of the Dem voters voting for her. She should have been on the ticket. I am a Republican, and I feel the unjustice done to her. Our political process has gone down hill rapidly. We the people do not pick our party leaders anymore. They are picked by the media and the political party. Our leaders do not vote the way we the people want them to vote, they vote with the party, the lobbyist, and their own self interest. The people that do not follow politics are probaby the most fortunate. I follow closely and all it does is make me sick.
Obama continues to speak of “change” but never seems to state specifically what he would like to change, “from” what “to” what. When the news media representatives have the opportunity to question Obama they never seem willing to ask the question or request specifics. I could never vote for him based on a plan to “change” if I didn’t know the specifics.
Does he believe that we are in such bad condition that our government needs a complete overhaul? How can the USA be the last remaining superpower and a so called “freedom beacon to the world” and be in a condition to need drastic change?
Do you think that we will get the specifics of his change proposals before we go to the voting booth? The biggest change I think we need is to get presidential candidates to tell the citizens the specifics of what they intend to do and if elected they do what they said they were going to do or explain why they can’t.
There are many Clinton supporters that feel as Hillary does, it is up to Obama to swing these voters around. But that is not likely to happen, Obama has done nothing but snub these voters. John McCain becomes more appealing each day as Obama choose the high road feeling he doesn’t need Hillary’s supporters.
As the Democratic Party tries to put the fear in Hillary supporter by saying they should never vote for McCain, McCain is looking better each day as a candidate with true leadership experience. The DNC has made some grieves errors during this campaign and it will not be forgotten by many voters.
Just look at the polls, Obama has not gained any ground. I guess the “bitter enders” are not falling in line behind Obama.
By the blogs here I can tell that the Obama cult is in rare form. But what can anyone expect from them. It doesn’t matter how Obama got the nomination, it doesn’t matter if there was cheating, it doesn’t matter if there were underhanded tactics or if the news media played favoritism. All that matters is that all the Democrats vote for his majesty even if you don’t believe he has this county’s best interest at heart or even if you think he is not ready to be president. It is winning at all cost and so what the consequences. Nothing else matters but to win. Obama supporters don’t care who this man is, or what the outcome may be if he wins the Presidency. They are like the Germens in World War II. Promise me the world and I don’t care who has to pay in order for me to get what I feel that I deserve. I am a Democrat and a union representative and I can not support this man. The old saying “if something is too good to be true it probably is” is something people better think about. This man has some real issues that just by saying “oh that’s not what he meant” or let me explain myself” does not resolve. People who do not support Obama are not supporting him for reasons that the Obama supporters just can’t except and that is your problem not ours.
You (Democrats) have lost my vote. I lost my vote of confidence here in Michigan by voting for Hillary. The abuse of her has been, in my opinion, less than human. Obama will not get my vote. Sorry.
You are right…. it is not Hillary’s responsibility to UNITE this party… the GREAT UNITER MUST DO IT FOR HIMSELF…
But after I have been called: Republican Troll, Dead Ender, Bitter Ender, Hillary Nigger, Hillaridy Nigger, Republican Shill, Sell Out, Uncle Tom, Racist, etc. Get real.
If people gave up and stopped fighting for what they believe in at the first sign of trouble or something did not immediately go their way, or it didn’t just get handed to them because of hard work, we would still be sitting at the back of the bus with nothing but 40 acres and a mule.
After Obama’s treatment of Hillary, he now has the nerve to expect Hillary’s supporters to save the election for him. Let the best man win and I hope it’s McCain who has experience to be President of our nation.

The reason many Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama is because they are embarrassed of him, his life, his unfair tactics and his beliefs. And they still don’t know all about him.
1. They don’t want a candidate that has been in a twenty year relationship with Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.
2. They don’t’ want a candidate that has a twenty year relationship with Father Pflaeger and refers to him as his compass in life
3. They don’t want a candidate that went to a church that supports Louis Farrakhan, an anti Semitic racist, that has led a rally of 20,000 Nation of Islam members to support Obama in Chicago
4. They don’t want to defend Black Liberation theology.
5. They don’t want a candidate that lies about his relationship with Tony Rezko, the Syrian Criminal that sold his property to Obama and supported his campaign.
6. They don’t want a candidate that could work with a domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
7. They don’t want a candidate that Hamas supports.
8. They don’t want a candidate that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support
9. They don’t want a candidate that has a wife that has just now realized she was proud of our country.
10. They don’t want a candidate that denies Florida and Michigan their voices
11. They don’t want a candidate that mentions 57 states in his speeches. 50 states in the USA and 57 states in the Nation of Islam (IOC website)
12. They don’t want a candidate that fights unfair and hyjacks Michigan delegate votes from his opponent.
13. They don’t want a candidate that is inexperienced, especially dealing with military issues.
14. They don’t want a candidate that considers it a loss to not to be able to attend his anti American, racist Church.
15. They don’t want a candidate that has a “non practicing” Muslim father, but avoids the entire discussion of his father.
16. They don’t’ want a candidate that won’t debate
17. They don’t’ want a candidate that misleads the youth with an ‘Obama girl and her behind in their face”
18. They don’t want a candidate that says he’s an African American and missed the MLK Remembrance Day and the Louisiana Black Caucus meeting
19. They don’t want a candidate that enjoys laughing at sexism.
20. They don’t want a candidate that switches his position on gun control, FISA, the war in Iraq and abortion issues.
21. They don’t want a candidate that showcases his daughters on TV shows.
22. They don’t’ want a candidate that has poor judgment..
23. They don’t’ want a candidate named; Barack Hussein Obama
24. He is embarrassing.
25. He scares them to death.

Sounds like somebody has watched too much Hannity’s America. Only in Hannity’s America is there so much hate. Only in Hannity’s America is Geroge Bush given a blind eye to all the failed policies, Bush has inflicted upon our country.
Earlier, when McCain won the Republican nomination, he was wise to distance himself from from Bush and Hannity’s America. Now as we go to the convention, McCain has caved to the pressure from the conservatives and looks more and more like a 3rd term Bush candidate.
This is INDEED SCARY!!!!!
i don’t see why hillary is supporting obama. if it is for party unity…too bad. we already broke away from it. we will indeed vote with our conscience. mcain for president. what did obama do for this country to deserve the highest office in our country. both he and his wife benefitted from this great country and yet spent 20 years of their lives in the company and love of people who hate what this country had stood for, and now they are saying this is not enough?! what to they exactly mean by that? fellow americans do not be deceived! they keep mouthing off change. change for what? he said he is a citizen of the world. he will have no qualms weakening this country of ours to benefit the rest of the world. just look at his cohorts. no! U.S.A. first! mccain suffered for this country and as a soldier who experienced the evils of war first hand, he has the wisdom to spare this country bloodshed and at the same time will have the guts to defend this country against its enemy. his own son is in iraq. obama is all talk. what has he done for this country? he was a community organizer who built a network of shady characters to benefit himself and groom him to be the leader of this country. that’s all. hillary is wrong. obama will despise her more once he is the pres. that’s how arrogant he is. sorry hillary. i will let you down this time. i’ll vote for mccain.
i really hope that the hillary supporters come out and stifle those obama nuts. we need the democratic party to be divided and off message. we can’t afford to let a n!gger be president. We have one choice and that is McCain. can’t trust our government to a racist bigot like obama, his wife, and their nappy-headed children.
why am i not seeing my comments on this blog.
Barack Huessein Obama and Michelle Obama would make a great cartoon.
They are hilarious and unbelievable characters.
If you dont like Fox why watch it???? Why are you even on their blog??????
What does the word hypocrite mean????
MSNBC is so pro Obama it’s unreal! Don’t like Fox? watch MSNBC. Stop crying.
I am not voting for Obama because of him. His associates for the past years are too radical, he is inexperience, he’s arrogant, and he flip-flops. He talks about caring, but hasn’t help his half brother who lives in a hut with $1 monthly income. This same guy is going to look after us?
I hope when Wednesday night comes and the roll call begins, that ALL states are allowed to speak for their state. When it is over, may Hillary Clinton be the obvious choice for nomination as the Democratic party’s nominee. Hillary has shone grace, tenacity, intelligence and patience through this long and drawn out process. She should have been nominee from the word go. Barack Obama should be giving an acceptance speech as her vice presidential running mate.
I hate to switch parties, but have already purchased the McCain biographies so that I can get to know this man better. I will not vote for anyone in the Democratic party but Hillary Clinton. Obama be damned!
It’s amazing to see Anti-Fox news people on Fox News website. Post your negative comments elsewhere.
Fox is the ONLY media that tells the truth… some just can’t handle the truth….well here is some truth for you.
Have to see this :
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm
I am from Michigan, we voted for Hillary, and the delegates best vote the way the people wanted, or I may never vote again! I wish Hillary would run as an indpendent, or she and McCain team up………..now no one could ever beat that ticket!

Are you joking? Why are all of your “Bourbon Room” topics so negative? Are you naturally a negative person or did you simply miss all of the positive messages given by all of the speakers last night? Do you have anything positive to say? Are you convinced the world is an evil place where we should all live in fear of conspiracy?
If you can watch this and still vote for Obama …i feel sorry for you.
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm
He will do anything to win lie cheat and steal !!
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm
Watch this and then make up your mind !!
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm
If Hillary had won do you think this much pressure would be put on Obama to get her elected? No way, call me a racist if you want, because that is what Obama supporters have done all along when someone doesn’t agree with them. Take a look at the people that have to defend Obama, its as if they really don’t believe what they are saying. The fundamentals are that you have experience before you apply for an important job, like CEO or whatever. Every person in america knows this and its going against everything all schools teach. Even Obama when asked after he made the speech that launched his career was asked if he was going to run for president and he said he did not have the experience and that was very important. So, the dems are forced to go out and try to get a candidate elected that has no experience. I would like to see a college student try to get a CEO job by saying I have good oratory skills and I have good judgement. They would not even consider someone like that. So the american people are supposed to go against everything they know to be true and elect this guy? Its all because this guy is black and some americans have white guilt even the news media is scared of being called a racist.
Wake up America!
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm
We all have the right to voice our opinion because we live in such a great country, but to hear the poor Hillary whiners still complaining really takes the cake. Thanks to the Clintons you can kiss the election goodbye and have 4 more years of Bush! Are you that dumb.
Let me know how you feel after 3 months of the new Bush then lets see how much you are still complaining. Dumb,dumb, dumb.
Obama should have waited his turn and not been so egotistical. He’s not ready. Hillary would have won, and with Bill by her side they could have solved many of our problems. Instead, all we hear about is race. And the fact he played the race card against Bill Clinton and Geraldine is completely unacceptable!!! The Democrats shot themselves in the foot again and left the country to the wolves. What in the world were they thinking????? Obama will not win. Hillary can win! I wish the Delegates, especially the Super delegates would wake us to this!
now with Florida and Michigan in play the likeliness of Hillary wining the nomination vote Wednesday.i don’t think Obama’s camp can stop that. even the Dem’s have figured out that obama can’t win.
For all those who attack Fox News and call it biased in favor of the Republicans, I have only one name to throw at you: Chris Matthews. No one at Fox has ever said a candidate sent a thrill up his leg. You can try, but you can’t top that one.
Ha! Would loved to see Hilary on the bill, in fact I might have even voted Democratic just to see her in office. Meanwhile, I am delighted that folks will vote their conscience-as well they should, and being divided in your own camp is a real plus for the McCain ticket! Nice going!
Hillary’s camp said Clinton can not be asked to solve Obama’s problem. People, People, isn’t that the same thing your asking of Obama when asking him to help payoff her $1M debt in order to solve her problem? Please, get real!!! The Clinton’s are not all that, just ask McCain.
Major
Great job!!! After reading the 100’s of Blogs on Gretawire it seems the Hillary Supporters feel duped by their Party. They are not going to vote for Obama (which they say they will vote McCain or not at all) I believe they really don’t want to chance Obama simply from his associates in past.
And they feel McCain wouldn’t mess up so bad in 4 years and Hillary could run again!!!!
McCain08!!
thanks, have a great day, love Fox News
I have had enough of this arm twisting. Clinton is being forced to make Obama the winner. That is wrong, illegal and should not be tolerated. Clinton should have enough backbone to turn away from the democrats instead of letting them shit on her any more than has already been done throughout this idiotic worshipping of Obama. You do not vote for a person simply because of his skin color. That is absurd, ignorant, racist and criminal.
I listened to the co-founder of PUMA on the radio yesterday. He is voting for McCain.
I can’t believe the garbage I hear liberals spew here against FOX. Of couse, I’ve read their same trash on CNN as well. I guess PMSNBC is the only legit cable news network???
Quick question for you Obamanites – If the “Annointed One” cannot even control a middle aged couple from New York (Clintons), how can he stand up to Russia, China, North Korea or Iran?
For Clinton’s supporters it’s about how many laws Mr. Obama has already broken. The campaing fruad that has already been documented. The fact he may not even be legaly able to run for president. The pending lawsiuts in Penslyvania and Arkansas. His record of poor judgment when he picks his friends, church, and political friends. He has gamed the system, he has not won this nomination. If he was so confident he could win in a fair fight. Why does he have to resort to stoping the roll call. Let the procees play itself out like it was designed. He is the weaker candidate. It is his cult followers that can’t handle that they are the problem.
I looked at the lineup of speakers scheduled for last night:
Nancy Pulosi – can anyone be more vacuous?
Jesse Jackson Jr. – son of the king of race baiting embezzlers
Jimmy Carter – this country’s worst, second worst and third worst president
Ted Kennedy – should have gone to jail for vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident.
Yep, this is the democratic party I know and love.
Let’s be fair, I don’t think it is up to Hillary to bring unity to the party. She has done exactly what the DNC has asked of her. It is not her fault that her supporters are not getting behind Obama. The Gallup polls today (46 McCain – 44 Obama) speak volumes on how Obama’s big circus is fairing with the public. Even Michelle’s speech did nothing to unify the party. So let’s give Hillary a break, it does not fall down on her back or Bill’s to help get Obama elected. Maybe all his delegates need to hit the road to get votes.
There should be no reason for Clinton allies to meet secretly. The reason for a convention is to nominate a candidate and delegates are required by most state laws to vote for who they were elected to vote for on the first ballot. What is happening in the Democratic party is not democracy, has nothing to do with the charter which the Democratic party has drawn up and is supposed to follow and bodes ill this party were allowed to come to power. I am a Clinton supporter and appreciate the support Fox has shown us. What Obama is pushing has nothing to do with the good of the country.
Way to tell it like it is Brother. So what, if the Obamiacs can’t take it. They dish it all the time. See you at the next Pig Dinner!
P!
On all the screaming and hollering that the Democrats did after Florida 2000 and Ohio 2004 I would have thought their own nomination process would be above board. Yet neither candidate has attained the critical number of delegates needed to achieve the Democratic nomination for POTUS. Yet Senator Obama seems to have been anointed by the Party leaders. So, if the Democrats truly believe that Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections then the following analogy hold true.
This Democratic Convention is Florida year 2000 all over again.
Obama is George and Hillary is Gore…..
Dean and Pelosi are the Supreme Court…
Enjoy the analogy….
Back room deals to keep Hillary supporters in line or at least quiet.
If a true floor vote were to occur on National TV I wonder what the final Delegate count would be?
But, alas that will never happen because “Savior Obama” and his supporters would never allow it.
Obama has been anointed not elected.
I would like to see ol’Bill Clinton get liquored up before his speech and let everyone know how he really feels about this anointment of Obama.
That would be must see TV!
Fox News is not making this story, Clinton supporters are. Fox News is not the best news source in the world, however, compared to the NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, Washington Post, CNN, New York Times crowd, the Fox people look good.
The old establishment mainstream media has been in the tank for Obama for most of the campaign. They sold out Hillary early on, for the guy who “sent thrills up their legs,” but who they had not vetted completely. Now that his warts are beginning to show, Obama supporters want all to ignore those facts & they want to lay blame anywhere but where it belongs.
Obama was not properly vetted so the party could counter the many negatives now evident. Hillary was sold down the river as the media crowd went ga ga for Obama. No amount of “troll” attack comments will make those facts go away.
The Obama campaign did little or nothing to help Hillary with her campaign debt. The Obama campaign failed to take the convention into account & meet with Hillary supporters early on. If they had, decisions such as the roll call method would have been settled long before anyone arrived in Denver. The Obama campaign felt they had the nomination wrapped up, so they decided they could ignore Hillary supporters & just tell them to do as they are told, “for the good of the party.” Yet many ask, “is this really good for the party?” And, its a legitimate question when one examines the smug hubris of the Obama campaigners actions now that they realize they should have shown some respect to Hillary & her supporters.
Don’t blame the media from any organization for the failures of the politico’s who have bungled this! There is enough mud to throw at all media, without throwing mud others deserve.
Absolutely she should have the full roll call. BO’s just afraid she might win. Hillary is the only dem who can win this election. I will vote for McCain and nothing they say will make me vote BO and millions of us feel the same. Furthermore we are boycotting all dems and DNC until they get rid of superdelegates and agree to investigate voter fraud. So you people who need health insurance and were supporting him, you just screwed yourself.
What Hillary supporters don’t understand, If Obama loses her political career is over. there will be no Hillary in 2012, she may try, but it will look like the edwards campaign in 2008. Clinton needs Obama to win, or in 2012 you clinton supporters will be begging us Obama supporters for party unity.
stop and smell the coffee!
I would like you and the Obama camp to know that I supported Hillary and will not support
Obama. I decided not to support Obama based on his record in the Senate for the short
time before he announced his run for the presidency. It has nothing to do with his skin
color or the multitude of other things I and others who do not support him have been
accused of. As a matter of fact, I voted for him for Senator. Of course, my alternative
choice was Keyes who was not even an Illinois resident at the time. I didn’t know at the
time that Obama had moved to Illinois with the intention of advancing his political
ambitions.
I have been a life-long Democrat but I will vote for McCain in hopes he will receive enough
votes to defeat Obama. Tell everyone to make sure the change he offers is really what they
want before they vote for him because he will not so much as offer an explanation for where
his support falls. Mostly, his ideas come from what he hears others say. I’ve been studying
him for awhile and am totally dismayed that the press is determined to elect him without
any consideration for anything other than his skin color. I would vote for any of the
blacks I’ve had for friends through the years but not for Obama. Oh, I also lived through
the Kennedy years – he is no Jack Kennedy and Michelle is not Jackie!
Oh, by the way! How can the Democrats say anything about McCain when John Kerry
wanted him as his VP choice?
“FoxNews is openly campaigning for McCain” – So you are ok with msnbc openly campaign for Obama? If 5 news medias can be biased towards Obama, why isn’t it ok for one or two others lean towards McCain? Foolish people just everywhere, no brains!!!!
This is totally ridiculous!! I can not believe how the Clintons can not take losing. They shouldn’t even be there the way they are acting. I can not believe Hillary will sincerely push for Obama. Everything she says you can read between the lines see she is only talking against him and for herself!. They are showing their true colors now. Vote Obama and get some change going before we become a third world country after the last 8 years of destruction. We can’t take 4 more with McCain!
I smell fear all around. the clintons may have a last chance on Wednesday if they see a opening they are going take it .
Who is going to be Hillary Clinton VP ?
I just don’t think obama got yet the proven substance or experience to be the president.” Nov. 30, 2006, jimmy carter former us president on “The Charlie Rose Show.”
No matter what anyone says (on either side), everyone will vote their Conscience! Isn’t that how the Obama supporters are voting?
Fair is Fair. No one can shove a candidate (that can’t be trusted) down the throats of those that truly think the other candidate is the better choice.
Only Obama can clear the air, by explaining the changes he plans to make and how he plans to make them.
I don’t want to vote for McCain, but he is the better of two evils so far. I can’t with a clear conscience vote for someone that gives great speaches, and I’m not sure how he stands on any issue. He stands one way through the primaries, then changes/refines his stance after the primaries. Exactly how will he stand on those very important issues once elected? And what else does he plan on changing/Refining on other issues before November?
I’m voting my conscience in November! And my vote is still up in the air. The only one that can solidify my vote for Obama, is Obama! Not Hillary, Not Hillary supporters, and especially not Obama supporters!
I agree with everything that Al from NJ said!!!!!
I want to hear Hillary say what she feels not what DNC tells her to say. No matter what she says, I won’t vote BO. Go McCain. Wish I could have gone to Denver, I’d be in one of those dog cages by now. You people who need health care and voted for BO, hope you’re ready to wait another four years.
Sure..they’ll vote their conscience–not on this planet.
For a Democratic party loyalist who has a political career to consider–that would be like being the only black in the party not to vote for Obama–because it would be a definite career stopper.
It won’t happen.
He is and will remain the chosen one by the Democrat’s–for better or worse.
My question exactly. Why is it in any way shape or form, Senator Hillary Clinton’s ‘responsibility’ to pick up the pieces of the fractured Democratic Party for Obama? He’s the so-called nominee, and she’s been out there stumping for him since she suspended her campaign. She’s done all she could to try to convince voters to look at him in a different light. It’s not happening, but that is certainly not her fault. He’s actually dropping in the polls during his coronation in Denver! That’s unheard of in politics, and clearly not a good sign for the Dem Party. This is not because of Clinton, this is because Obama is not seen by the people as a leader, nor is he Presidential material. He’s an arrogant, conceited, self-centered politician who gives a good speech but lacks the necessary knowledge or judgement to be POTUS. And he’s got big money, Chicago style politics backing him. But he’s got no clue how to take his head out of his arse and get in touch with the real people in this country. He’s out of touch and a waffling fraud. That is NOT Senator Clinton’s fault. The blame rests solely with Obama, and of course his “America is mean” wife Michelle and her $600 earrings. Pfft

foxnews is a joke. people who read it are threatened by the world & seek shelter in their narrow minded views
Didn’t you just read it? Typical uneducated democrat
Hillary or McCain.
Sarah, you said it all. Thank you for your comment. God Bless Hillary Clinton. I know Alice Paul is proud. Remember women, we have come a long way but we have far to travel.
I have lost repect for the Democratic Party.
The Obamites on this posting make me sick. First of all, Im not a “sheep” and because of that I will not be voting for Barack Obama. I did do volunteer work for Hillary from Ohio to Montana and in between because I believe in her, just like you Obama people believe in your guy. The final straw for me was seeing that the rules committee of the DNC gave full voting rights back to Michigan and Florida in the last couple of days! When I think of all the hypocrisy and lies that were spread in that meeting and how much disrespect was shown to Hillary and her supporters that day, all kinds of garbage about “following the rules” ect. The establishment of the party decided before Ohio that they wanted Obama to get the nomination and thats what happened. So now you have to live with that choice and if he loses so be it. But the idea that you want our support and our help after what you and your media surrogates did to us, well thats really too much. I say “Go Hillary” and I urge all my fellow Democrats and Hillary supporters at the convention to do something unknown to many of the Obama people and the Democratic leadership- have a conscience and vote it!
I still expect to see a Clinton Surprise… doesn’t everyone ? They (Hillary & Bill) just don’t give up that easily. I believe they are convinced Hillary would have beaten Obama had the John Edwards issue been exposed earlier. Party unity is a nice concept, but Hillary wants to be President and has not conceeded yet…. what an interesting week this is becoming !
Then why are you here, Jason? Do you have some insight into this specific topic or ANY proof to the contrary?
Hey Sarah and Al you both need some help. But I dont think neither one of you would have ever voted for Obama. Al I can list over 100 hundred none issue related that will be far worse and has much more evidence than he say she say about McCain but that will not solve my current struggle or yours. Sarah How in the world did Obama cheat in the caucus state, it was Hillary that neglected them and her campaign came out regreting that decision. Hillary lost because she ran a really bad campaign even with race, religion and the right wing on her side she still lost perion point blank. However Sarah you sound like a typical Republican trying to play with people emotions. Stop up there is too much at stake to play these stupid games. But in American you have the freedom to choose even no matter how foolish it may be.
I never thought that Hillary would go down without a fight. She is a much stronger candidate than Obama. What a wimp he turned out to be! Even if I was a Democrat, I would not vote for him. John McCain stands head and shoulders over Obama!
If McCain wins the ones who voted deserve the outcome, no one really knows what it will be. However, If he voted 100% with Bush in 2008, 90 – 95% of the time in 2007 and so on I can tell you it will not be good. How can someone that voted 100% with Bush have good judgment? Any person that is middle class, against the war, hurting from the economy and wants to change the way this country has been ran is an idiot for voting McCain. If you like war he is the man, if you are ok with going to war with more nations and the draft he is for you, if you are rich he is the man for you, if you are a big corporation he is for you, if you think the rich should get huge tax breaks and CEO’s paying less percentage to income than the assistant he is for you, if you like the politics of the past he if for you, if you only vote republican not matter the case he is for you, if like the way the economy is he is the man, if you don’t care about health care cost and people who don’t have it he is for you, if you give into fear he is for you, if you like the current education system he is for you, if you like being lied to he is for you, if you like to hear what you want to hear instead of what you need he is for you, If you like Bush he if for you, if you think drilling or a tax holiday will solve the energy crisis he is for you, If you are chairman, CEO, Owner, Shareholder of Exxon and other oil companies he is for you, If you don’t like an African American he is for you(you have no other choice except for sitting at home), if you think people are not going to vote for McCain due to skin color and religion as obvious as it is you need to start reading and educating yourself, if you supported Hillary and now him you are a complete fool. The best part of this is the fact you have someone that is for you if you don’t believe the statements above to be your values and what you want for your family, future, kids, friend, love ones and etc. Freedom to choose is something we often overlook and cannot be measured.
I was a life long Democrat and am not a republican in disguise. I just have this to say…….if Obama thinks he is what the world was awaiting…Puma’s was what the world was not expecting…..Todays Gallup Polls, Mcain 46 and the chosen one 44….enough said!
A full floor roll call vote of all the states should be held for Senator Clinton. She earned it. The people that voted for her deserve it. The delegates who represent them are obligated (legally in some states) to cast their votes for Senator Clinton.
Obama and the DNC are trying to put up a front of Unity that does not exist. They rigged this primary for the benefit of Obama and signed sealed and have almost delivered it to him on a silver platter. There was much fraud in the DNC heavily weighted cacauses where Obama “won” most of his delegates. This has been documented and there are several videos now circulating with first hand accounts of intimidationa and downright cheating. This is how Obama plays the game.
As a lifelong Democratic voter I cannot in good conscience vote for an inexperienced, unvetted, and unethical candidate propped up by a corrupt DNC. I hope Senator Clinton’s delegates vote their conscience as well.

Great Job Major in sheding light on this subject ! To me this just shows without a doubt how unorganized this Dem party really is! They cannot even get there own convention right, how can they effectivley run this country? Since 2006 when the dems took power in the House and Senate we have had nothing but problems and no solutions, I now pay more for gas ,I now pay more for food, I now pay more for electric, and my property is worth less. Look at their approval rating ! Is it not these dems in congress who have the power to make things better as they promised….I don’t see it happening.Lets put some real thinkers back in those seats next election and put a real man (John Mcain) in the White House. Condi Rice for VP!
You better pray Major doesn’t start looking into the Obama’s and their 20 yrs in a Black Liberation Theology church .

Story line:
It’s that time of year. Everyone has been busily planning and anticipating the get-together. Well, they were, until little brother (aka Barack. B.O.) stirred the pot! Seems B.O.’s been telling everyone that he’s tired of the same old, same old….it’s time for a change…it’s his turn to head up the reunion festivities. The audacity…! Everyone knows you don’t just take over a reunion like that….why it’s an unwritten but well understood rule….your turn comes when it comes…elders first…that’s the way it’s alway been. Just ask Uncle Teddy about the time he tried to override Grampa! And, of course, if the “next in line” acts out, that’s a valid exception (right, cousin Howie?!).
But, more often than not, the rules are the rules! Everybody knows who was to be next in line….Wow! Now we have half the cousins mad at the other half…..Some are saying that since Hillary’s the older (and the wiser) of the two, she sound “man-up”, let by-gones be by-gones, let it go and let little brother have a chance..there will be other reunions, right? And if he messes up, well, that will just make everyone realize she was the better person for all of her sacrifices. But then there are those side with Hillary….They say that B.O. went off to that fancy school, got himself a snooty wife, a big house, and, just wants to show off. The’re telling him to “stay on the porch and watch how the big dogs do it”….stepping out of turn just ain’t right. Wow, gosh, what fun!!!! Can’t wait for tonite…..
p.s. is there rain forecast for Thursday in Denver?!?
What Hillary or Bill may say at the convention will not be what I think they will do come voting time.
They don’t now, nor have they ever; nor will they be a positive force for Obama. In fact, if they can they will find a way in my opinion to submarine the Obama run for the white house before it is over.
Remember! The Clintons are the dirtest players in the game and they know how to gather dirt!
Funny how everyone jumps on Fox News for their partisanship and in the same breath flip back to the comforts of MSNBC, who on numerous occasions has been outted as openly supporting Obama.
No one is truly Bi-partisan or independent. Everyone leans one way or the other so all of you pretending like there’s no bias on stations other than FOX can pull your heads out and rejoin reality
hello
I am still angry at the way Hillary was treated and For the first time in my life I WILL NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT TICKET
I’m so sorry for you democrats. You can’t stand to face the truth. Fox news is the most credible network going and Garrett is one of the best information gatherers around. You people need to get over being mad at everyone who does not agree with you. I gave up on democrats years ago because of the nutcases in the party. No morals at all. No class and no character. Now take it for what it is worth we who don’t like your brand of government will never relinquish authority to a bunch of people who try to destroy our freedoms, our beliefs. Nancy Pelosi couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel and We are all tired of Californians trying to change our Southern ways of getting things done. In my opinion O’bama is a muslim and should go live in Europe since He likes their ways so much, and by the way, take most of the democratic party with him.
It’s called democracy. People vote to have their votes counted. Historically at conventions EVERY STATE HAS EVERY DELEGATE VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THEY WERE SWORN TO REPRESENT. How is it that at this convention, democracy has been thrown out the window ? Because Obama knows he has lost the race to Hillary and is unwilling to allow ALL the delegates to vote. HILLARY… STAND UP FOR THOSE THAT VOTED FOR YOU… DON’T ROLL OVER AND BE A GOOD WOMAN…. FIGHT.
I don’t believe much is going to change no matter who is elected President.
Congress is another story. Until the “PORK SPENDING”, “PAC MONEY”, “KICKBACKS”, “PERKS”, and whatever else they can get there hands on is taken away from them they will not represent “US”. They need to be made to work a minimum 30 hour week with no more than 40 hours of vacation.
Maybe then the “JOB” will become unattractive enough for the lawyers to get out of Congress and go back to lawyer jobs. Maybe then we could attract business people that are use to long range planning rather than reactionary no planning. Should we not have seen OIL comming 25 years ago?
Unify America not Diversify.
HERE’S THE PROBLEMATIC BILL FOR OBAMA, IN HIS OWN WORDS:
No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen
By DINITIA SMITH
Published: September 11, 2001
”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.” Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970’s as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago. The long curly locks in his Wanted poster are shorn, though he wears earrings. He still has tattooed on his neck the rainbow-and-lightning Weathermen logo that appeared on letters taking responsibility for bombings. And he still has the ebullient, ingratiating manner, the apparently intense interest in other people, that made him a charismatic figure in the radical student movement.
Now he has written a book, ”Fugitive Days” (Beacon Press, September). Mr. Ayers, who is 56, calls it a memoir, somewhat coyly perhaps, since he also says some of it is fiction. He writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. But Mr. Ayers also seems to want to have it both ways, taking responsibility for daring acts in his youth, then deflecting it.
”Is this, then, the truth?,” he writes. ”Not exactly. Although it feels entirely honest to me.”
But why would someone want to read a memoir parts of which are admittedly not true? Mr. Ayers was asked.
”Obviously, the point is it’s a reflection on memory,” he answered. ”It’s true as I remember it.”
Mr. Ayers is probably safe from prosecution anyway. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department said there was a five-year statute of limitations on Federal crimes except in cases of murder or when a person has been indicted.
Mr. Ayers, who in 1970 was said to have summed up the Weatherman philosophy as: ”Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at,” is today distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. And he says he doesn’t actually remember suggesting that rich people be killed or that people kill their parents, but ”it’s been quoted so many times I’m beginning to think I did,” he said. ”It was a joke about the distribution of wealth.”
He went underground in 1970, after his girlfriend, Diana Oughton, and two other people were killed when bombs they were making exploded in a Greenwich Village town house. With him in the Weather Underground was Bernardine Dohrn, who was put on the F.B.I.’s 10 Most Wanted List. J. Edgar Hoover called her ”the most dangerous woman in America” and ”la Pasionara of the Lunatic Left.” Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn later married.
In his book Mr. Ayers describes the Weathermen descending into a ”whirlpool of violence.”
”Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,” he writes. But then comes a disclaimer: ”Even though I didn’t actually bomb the Pentagon — we bombed it, in the sense that Weathermen organized it and claimed it.” He goes on to provide details about the manufacture of the bomb and how a woman he calls Anna placed the bomb in a restroom. No one was killed or injured, though damage was extensive.
Between 1970 and 1974 the Weathermen took responsibility for 12 bombings, Mr. Ayers writes, and also helped spring Timothy Leary (sentenced on marijuana charges) from jail.
Today, Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn, 59, who is director of the Legal Clinic’s Children and Family Justice Center of Northwestern University, seem like typical baby boomers, caring for aging parents, suffering the empty-nest syndrome. Their son, Malik, 21, is at the University of California, San Diego; Zayd, 24, teaches at Boston University. They have also brought up Chesa Boudin, 21, the son of David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin, who are serving prison terms for a 1981 robbery of a Brinks truck in Rockland County, N.Y., that left four people dead. Last month, Ms. Boudin’s application for parole was rejected.
So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ”I don’t want to discount the possibility,” he said.
Wow. All I can say is I’m soooo glad I’m an independent. BOTH parties antics (and overly rabid supporters) are the reason I’ll never be a dem-o-cr@p or a repel-I-can.
This is why America is where it is at now. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. I have heard bigotry and ugly remarks. America is no longer a unified nation because we have become selfish, greedy and immoral. It won’t matter who is elected president because the morals of this country have gone down and all are too worried about what the people think rather than what is right. When we are guided by what the public wants rather than what lies in our hearts as far as righteousness, then we fail America and ourselves.
Terrorism has never touched our grounds until we became a nation allowing our leaders to uphold immorality. When we try to change the laws that were set on Christian values and would rather please people for a vote, we are opening the doors for more judgment from God. Reach in your own hearts and realize the truth! You can deny it and say whatever you want in a response. You will see it for yourselves in the coming years. Then your own eyes will be open to the TRUTH and you will remember what I’ve said. Reality will set in. You will hold your tongue to mockery and shake your heads. You will pray that God will keep you safe amidst all that you see.
I have never cared to respond to any of these messages, however, as I read all of your responses, I can see that none of you are seeing what is already happening. Never in my own life have I been so disgusted with what I hear and see. Where are we headed?
I am praying that whomever is elected, that they will search their own hearts and do what is right in God’s eyes. God says we must pray for our leaders and even our current President as they make decisions. You should all pray that you make the right choice in this next election and not because “we want to make history on Hillary or Obama” nor because we only vote Republican, but because we want someone who will stand for what is morally right in their own hearts. God will protect and give wisdom to our leaders as they choose to make decisions. But they also need for us to stand in prayer for them. God will keep America safe as we stand unified as a nation.
I choose to do this for my family and my grandchildren. I pray that all of you will think before you mock this and pray instead. It is time to go back to the roots of what this country was founded on. It began as a great nation and can still be one.
I love America and I pray for ALL of our leaders, our soldiers and for our current President. Whether I believe in President Bush’s choices or not, I am praying that he seeks God’s wisdom in the decisions he is making. It is a tough position to be in. Experience is NOTHING without God!
Hope you are having fun there in Denver. I would love to be there right now.
It will be fun to see if the dems get an upward bump or not from the Convention, we will know more then. Where is the unity? I dont see it yet…
Major,
I just found this on the web, you have to appreciate the irony in the lawsuit if it proves to be true. Any chance Fox can check out the merits of the subject?
I do enjoy your reporting and Fox News in total.

MSM Ignores Democrat Lawsuit Against Obama
By P.J. Gladnick (Bio | Archive)
August 22, 2008 – 16:08 ET
Imagine if a prominent Mitt Romney supporter who was a former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania as well as former Republican Party chair in Montgomery County in that state had filed a lawsuit against John McCain questioning his eligibility to become president. How many milliseconds after the filing of that lawsuit do you think it would take for that news to be prominently featured on the New York Times website as well as the many other MSM websites? Well, something very much like that has happened only instead of a Republican suing McCain it was Democrat Philip J. Berg, a Hillary Clinton supporter and former Deputy Attorney General as well as former Democrat Party chair for Montgomery county, who filed a lawsuit yesterday against Barack Obama to keep the DNC from nominating him because Berg claims he is ineligible to become president. So far there has been a collective yawn from the MSM to this news. The one exception was a very small blurb in the Philadelphia News Clout section:
Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has faced so many false rumors about his family history that it has put his birth certificate on the Internet: he was born in Honolulu, nearly two years after Hawaii became a state, making Obama a U.S. citizen by birth.
But that hasn’t stopped Montgomery County lawyer Philip J. Berg from challenging Obama’s qualifications to be president.
Berg, a Hillary Clinton supporter, announced he’s filing a federal lawsuit today, claiming that Obama lost his citizenship when his mother relocated the family to Indonesia when Barack was a boy.
Under the law, however, moving to a foreign country does not negate an American’s citizenship.
Berg said that he’s acting on his own, not as an agent for the Clinton campaign. Republicans were prepared to file a similar lawsuit after the Democratic convention, he said.
To find out what the real details are of this lawsuit we once again, as with the John Edwards scandal, have to rely on the blogosphere. One of the blogs which provides detailed information about this lawsuit is legal writer Jeff Schreiber’s America’s Right:
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party.
“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”.
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, “apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight.” As Sen. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham–Obama’s mother–gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals–Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital–in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple “registry of birth” records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a “natural born” citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama’s half-sister.
“Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama’s lies and obfuscations,” Berg stated. “If the DNC officers … had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws.”
“It is unfair to the country,” he continued, “for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected.”
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the MSM to cover this lawsuit story but if you want the latest information as it breaks, check out the updates at the America’s Right blog.

Wouldn’t it be surprising if the American people had balls enough to proclaim Hillary as
our democratic choice for President of the United States.
lol Why are you Obama followers so mad? the three of them Obama,Michelle, and the DNC said they didn’t need the Clintons to win, but whine that the Clintons are not doing enough? Give me a break after the way Obama camp made Bill out to be racist and Hillary weak because she cried and didn’t even give Hillary who received just as many votes the decency of a call from Obama telling her personally his decision for running mate should be just glad they are there for the DNC! after all the DNC did them wrong for not calling Obama on his lying ,race playing campaign.
Obama said change? no Washington politics as norm but picks a a man who has been a Washington insider for over 30 yrs? Biden lawyer “friend” has connections to Rezko! Biden has described himself as a 30-year friend of a key figure in the Rezko trial who’s pleaded guilty to a federal extortion charge in Chicago and is awaiting sentencing.
http://www.lpwillham.newsvine.com/_news/2008/08/26/1787691-bidens-rezko-ties-may-spell-trouble-for-obama-campaign
When the Delaware senator began contemplating his own 2008 presidential run, he initially was helped by Chicago lawyer Joseph Cari Jr., who also served as Biden’s Midwest field director in his failed 1988 bid for president.
Biden son is a register lobbyist since 2001 for the credit card companies who made it almost impossible to file bankruptcy!
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/25/us/politics/25biden.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Obama says he will not play dirty politics? lmao when did he stop?
I am a Democrat who will vote McCain at least he is a man who is not a puppet that is controlled by the party and dear old wife,Michelle had to be part of the veep picking,lol she is the master of the strings.
Don’t worry about Hillary. Obama bought her off. He is going to pay for almost all of her campaign debt after the DNC. He is doing this to guaranty that he will be unopposed. So, look for big smiles and lots of support from Hillary!
Just a Republican from TX.
Major: Great reporting and as always HONEST!! Just want to say I believe Hillary doesn’t have the guts to divide this party so I think she is going to have Bill do it during his speech. Why not! He has nothing to lose and it will look like he did it and not Hillary!!
********************************************************************************
The American voters better get on board with the REAL ISSUES and one right now doesn’t look good THE COLD WAR WITH RUSSIA IS STARTING AGAIN. GO MCCAIN!!! WE NEED YOUR INTELLIGENCE. WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO MESS AROUND WITH OBAMA AND MICHELLE’S FRIENDS AND ISSUES LIKE “I’M JUST LIKE YOU”! LIKE HELL YOU WERE OR ARE U WENT TO COLLEGE AND STILL ARE NOT PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. GET SOME CLASS IF U WANT TO BE THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, YOU HAVE NONE-PERIOD!!! YOU WILL BE TOO BUSY TAKING CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN TO DO ANYTHING FOR US JUST ASK OPRAH SHE HELPS OUTSIDE OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE SHE SAYS WE’RE NOT APPRECIATIVE!!! IT’S ALL IN THE FIRENDS U HANG WITH-MCCAIN BETTER TAKE IT OR WERE IN TROUBLE…
DEMOCRATS NEED TO REMEMBER HILLARY CAN KICK MC CAINS ASS IN NOVEMBER…
SHE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE, NO SURPRISES FOR THE REPUBLICANS TO PULL OUT OF THE WOODWORK…
NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF LIKE TERRORISTIC ALLIANCES, HATRED FOR AMERICA, DISILLUSIONMENT OF THIS COUNTRY…
AM I WRONG OR DID MICHELLE NOT SAY THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT UP TO THEIR IDEA OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE?
WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT BUT, WE TRY TO LIVE EVERYDAY TO MAKE IT BETTER… SOME THINGS CHANGE SLOWLY BUT OBAMA CAN’T POSSIBLY SO EXALTED THAT HE WILL “CHANGE” THE WORLD ALL BY HIMSELF.
ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT… AND NEVER FORGET THAT AFTER GOD CREATED ADAM HE GAVE US EVE… A WOMAN CAN OBVIOUSLY CHANGE THE WORLD QUICKER THAN A MAN!
The media and super delegates put Obama where he is today. The media did not cover the nominating process they campaigned for Obama. As is their usual behavior many congressional delegates went with Obama despite the people of their states voting overwhelmingly for Clinton. I did find it interesting that many in congress only supported Obama after he made contributions to them. As far as I’m concerned the democrats have handled this just the way the majority of both parties runs the country. They ignore the majority of the citizenry and do what they want and follow their own agendas! Pelosi said there would be no offshore drilling because should wouldn’t even let it come to the floor. This while 73% in a pole was in favor of off shore drilling. Another example was McCain’s amnesty bill that they tried to shove down our throats. It would have passed had there not been so many people e-mail and there were so many phone calls the day of the vote that switchboard crashed. A few republicans changed to no votes when they saw how fiercely amnesty was opposed. I have changed my registration to independent because there are too many in both parties that follow their own agendas and refuse to represent the majority as they should. I urge everyone to contact congress to have your voice heard. The follwing are sites where you can e-mail, house.speaker.gov, senate.gov, and house.gov. As for this election I have to vote for the lesser evil which I feel is John McCain.
I will not support Obama. He’s not qualified. The whole system was totally fraudulent. He claimed to be something before, in the primaries, that was different, that was a new kind of politics, but he’s not. He’s not Washington politics, he’s Chicago-style politics and that’s even worse.
Wake-up American Bobble Heads….Neither canidate can deliver their promises, only Congress can. If their lips are moving, they are lying……….
Unify America, not Diversify………
I do not know how everyone else feels but I really wonder who is running. We hear from everyother person but the canidate. Hillary clinton was snubbed. If I were every other womanI would without a doubt vote for McCain. Obama is running on a platform of equal pay /equal work/ HIS mistake came when he took a man – against her millions of votes. A VERY QUALIFIED PERSON SUITED TO BE HIS VP IF NOT PRESIDENT. Now people expect her to become responsible for him and his floppy mistakes. Just to say they would never be my next door neighbors and live like we do. Fo 1 they are not middle income. They are not living in a cape cod . they are in a mini mansion. Not to ever be confused with a mere house. They got where they are by cozying up to some strange people to get ahead. They want it to seem like they are the people next door. No my neighbor is alone struggling ,no help, getting up every day going to work. Not at all like them. I like to know if mrs. Obama was making a name for himself. She went along with his friendships with all these strange people so she is as he is involved w/ them. Why is her Mother ,her Brother, Her kids on that stage ????? They are not running and should not really be that involved. Her home was so sm in land an arrangement was made w/ resko. So you see : “IT IS NEVER ENOUGH” . They are actors in a movie. This movie is a flop.The media is favoring Obama. WITH old polls. . It is disgusting how they report by stretching or changing? NBC NEWS.Cynthia Tucker: does she also get the facts wrong. All these so called media get the half facts and run with them. NOT FOX. OBAMA has a very nice family. He is NOT near ready to be my PRESIDENT. BY the way my neighbors do not know weathermen. I have no one I know that have mouths like Pflager, Wright , etc. How about just stepping back and really see what’s going on. By the way Miller is soooooooo right .I’ve thought that myself. We all know what he did and how he slighted her and WE KNOW WHY. By the way MILLER/ SUPER TERRIFICALL THE TIME. FOX BEST. McCain the real deal. play the right hand: YOU WILL BE A WINNER
Obama beating Hillary was like Jason Castro beating Michael Johns. You just wondered week after week how Castro kept going with no talent or substance except good looks and infatuation.
THE DNC AND THE FAR LEFT SET OUT A JIHAD AGAINST HILLARY TO PUSH OBAMA UP FRONT -COUNTING ON TIME TO HEAL AND ‘UNITE THE PARTY’. THEY UNDERESTIMATED HER SUPPORTERS .
Obama wants to reform the people of the United States. McCain wants to reform the government of the United States.

Did you hear what he said about PUTIN/RUSSIA/GEORGIA YOU BETTER THINK
LISTEN TO Dick Morris
Who cares… Barack is going to get smoked in the general election. What has Obama ever done besides be a good public speaker. The other side at least has a person worthy of being elected. Obama is all smoke and mirrors…a pretty face and no substance. The democrats will once again crash and burn.
Help!!! Get the producers on the set at the DNC. You need to lose the grotesque flesh colored mini boom mikes. Makes the guests and hosts look like Nanny McPhee (see photo at http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10004566-nanny_mcphee/pictures/14.php#highlighted_picture)
THANK YOU FOX FOR YOUR FAIR REPORTING!
I don’t blame Clinton’s supporters for not embracing Obama wholeheartedly. As a matter of fact, I don’t blame them if they don’t vote for him. After all, THIER race were pretty pathetic. To tell people to just put aside their emotions and embrace the guy who put them down is a pretty hard thing to do.
PEOPLE … VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE!
I just have to comment about the people that think Fox News is McCain’s cheerleader. If this is the truth, all I can say is we finally have one! 99% of every other form of Media is solely in the pocket of Barack Obama. You name it. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, Hollywood, Time, New York Times (Not to mention most other major newspapers). Night after night of breathless coverage for Obama. Everyone knows it too! I do admit conservatives have a few talk shows for the freedom of expression. So next time you read an article from Fox with a title which leans towards McCain just know that conservatives feel that 10 fold every single day. Take a little of your own medicine. Stings a little, doesn’t it!

I am still waiting for somebody to tell me, What is Obama’s achievement and qualification beside a community organizer? We don’t need anyone to serve our Commander in Chief to be on the JOB TRAINING. We are still at WAR and we are not a nation of quitters.
…Can’t believe so many fools out there willing to put a racist,communist,elitist pig in the white house…and the drive-by media including CNN and all the major networks in the tank for him…a Chicago machine polititian ….Thank God America for Fox news
I am voting my conscious, I am switching to the Republican Party. The democrats have let me down for the first time in my life. Obama was not elected by the people. I cannot and will not get over all his associates/associations with shady, immoral characters. I am sure McCain thanks him because now he is my choice. It should have been Hillary!!!!!!!!!!
Obama/Biden will get a small bump with Hillary’s INCREDIBLE speech tonight, but WILL NOT win over her loyal supporters who fully understand her brilliant ability and qualifications to lead our nation. If Obama had had ANY sense at all, he would have put her on the ticket – instead he picked Biden, a 2-time loser who has no control over his mouth, and has deservedly earned a bad taste in the mouth of many women because of his brutal treatment of Anita Hill during that fiasco, and his “fudging” on his resume a few years ago. Picking Biden clearly indicated Obama’s audacious failure to choose the best thing for our country – and instead, picked someone who lacks self-control and credibility. Bill Clinton will deliver another incredible speech later in the convention, but even coupled with Michelle’s sudden love of our country, WILL NOT give the White House to Obama this Fall. McCain will enjoy that victory with the help of Hillary’s supporters this Fall – Hillary will resound with VICTORY in 2012!.
What you Hillary supporters seem to be forgetting is that Obama has millions of supporters as well. If by some crazy happenstance Hillary was to end up with the nomination, I can tell you that there will not be a democrat in the whitehouse come next year. Obama didn’t steal the nomination from her, it’s not his responsibility to pay off her debts, and I can’t figure out for the life of me why the party has to keep appeasing Hillary and her supporters. As much as I want to see Obama in the whitehouse, I would rather he lose the election than to have to kiss hers and her supporters behinds just to get their votes. I’m sick of all this and I just don’t understand why he owes Hillary so much more than Edwards, Dodd, Richardson or any of the other candidates that did not win the party nomination. You can call me an Obamabot, or Obama whatever. I am proud to be such. OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!
By the way, nice speech Hillary. Not really much in the way of support, but hey, it got you back in front of the camera.
Hillerys speech was hypicritical, she has fought so long an so hard for all the good lil children of America yet she failed to mention it is her party that made roe vs wade law an has murdered 40 million plus children with no rights no voice no freedom of speach no right to vote.That one issue that the DEMs devided our nation with still cry’s foul her speach almost made it sound like (all children )but i couldnt help think of the unwanted one’s the millions who will never be and the millions to follow shame on her an the Dems or anyone else that supports right to eat there young cause they dont want to take responciability for there actions.i ask Hillery how many of the millions were children of rape or incest? does she have a clue ? does anyone have a clue?
Enoough of George Bush. We were luck to have two good canditates this year. An whichever one prevailed it was good choice. I was a Hilary candidte bit also thought that Obama was another great such. we such good choices.Now we must support the democratic party and be ready for the better years ahead.
Fabulous speech tonight from HRC. Made me very proud as a woman, but despite even Hillary’s urging, I will not vote for this ticket. The Dems really screwed up by propping up the weakest candidate. This is a trainwreck waiting to happen. First time in my life but I will vote McCain.
It’s not even a close contest!
Hayolom, obviously you are disregarding the thread to go to the site “we will not be scilenced.” That will tell you all about how Obamas thugs “managed” the caucuses. It has come up many times over the last few months. It is being recorded & witnesses are testifying. Caucuses were dreamed up by the DNC so they could manipulate the vote.
Fox news is always ranked # 1 The facts are the facts so all the haters on here carry your sorry A*%^ back to whatever lower ranked channel you like, you will all be crying in November when Nobama loses big, I mean real big as he has lost 9 points in 7 days in the polls and this is his week. Plus HC wants to start her run for the 2012 Whitehouse, I would guess the day or so after John and Cindy move in.
The issue for the Democrats moving forward with the rest of the convention is when are they going to start talking about how they are going to solve the issues facing the country and stop talking about Hillary Clinton’s hurt feelings, her supporters’ wavering support for Obama, and former President Clinton’s refusal to step aside for a new generation of party leadership. For many of us across the country who are solidly undecided, the convention has thus far wasted a grand opportunity to sell us on the vision of an Obama presidency and specifics about how we would be better with Obama than with McCain. Everyone has heard the message of hope and change. What does that tangibly mean?
B.G.
Obama will still win, but his followers, the worthless, twisted, little balls of hate, are losing traction every day.
This is going to be Jimmy Carter’s second term. Obama will become the most hated President in history, due to his arrogance, elitism, contempt for America and Americans, but most of all, his incompetence and total lack of experience and intelligence.
I HAVE BEEN A DEMOCRAT ALL OF MY LIFE . I AM A LOYAL SUPORTER OF HILLARY CLINTON. I FIND IT AN INSULT TO TRY AND PERSUADE ANYONE TO CHANGE THEIR VOTERS CHOICE WHEN HILLAR’S PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE IS OUR CHOICE. WHEN I CHOOSE A CANDIDATE IT IS WITH RESEACH AND PERSONAL CARE. HILLARY IS DEFINITELY THE BETTER CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. I KNOW MANY WOMAN WHO WANT TO WRITE HER IN ONTHE TICKET. I WOULD. OTHERWISE I WILL DEFINITELY VOTE FOR MCCAIN. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA. IF YOU REALLY TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY HIS LIFE THEORIES HE IS DANGEROUS TO THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY AND SO IS HIS WIFE. I PRAY THAT THE CLINTONS WILL SOMEHOW GET HILLARY ONTHE TICKET OR IT WILL BE MCCAIN.
I want to see a POW clock just like the Gaffe clock… McCain’s people are counting the minutes until the next Biden gaffe. Obama’s people should be counting the minutes until the next time McCain uses his POW experience as an excuse.
As for the Clinton meetings… I don’t know. Conventions used to be about nominating the candidate, and now they’re just 4 days of free advertising. Obama won the primary for the Dems, McCain won the primary for the Repubs, and everything beyond that is just media fluff.
Of course, there should be a roll call. It’s traditional procedure during the Convention and has been afforded to candidates who had far fewer votes during the primary.
And there’s the rub. The flop sweat that Obama folks are demonstrating is undeniable as was the thundering applause and affection that Hillary Clinton rec’d last night. Left and right, the Obama team has disrespected HRC and President Bill Clinton. A very poor strategy because both Senator Clinton and President Clinton are well-loved by ordinary voters.
The Democrats could have ensured the White House with Hillary Clinton, either as their front leader or as a veep. Hubris figured into the veep selection. And hubris will ultimately bring Obama down. There aren’t enough “greek temples” in the world to save this trainwreck.
As a Hillary Clinton supporter, I have to face reality.
What is the face of America?
Is it a senile old soldier clinging to the memories of a war long over?
Is it a young progressive multicultural man or women bringing the hopes and dreams of the future to reality?
John McCain represents the past. Barack Obama represents the future. What direction do you want our beloved country to go. The past or the future? We not only live in the United States but in the World. We must be able to compete with the rest of the world especially in the area of technology. McCain,(God love him) is not capable of taking us forward. He is still too bound by his war experiences and can not see the future.
Poor Fox News. The Dems are doing so well, all you can talk about are the Clintons. And you’re also stuck with McCain!
I believe the reason Obama didn’t make Hillary his VP is because he KNEW she would steal his and his wife’s Michelle’s thunder….definiltey she’s SO overpowering, it would be all about Hillary if she was appointed the VP, all eyes would be off the first lady – Michelle – if Obama got elected. SO the Obamas are SO self serving they didn’t appoint Hillary for that reason…
I am a repub…can’t stand the Obamas or Hillary, and don’t understand why this reasoning I just explained is not being talked about- it’s so obviouls to me, so much so, that it’s total FACT in my mind, not even an opinion…that’s the reason…she’s will steal the stage from the Obamas – if he got elected…
btw, what’s up with Michelle saying wiomen have a choice to become mothers…yes they do, then they should sleep around! It doens’t give them the right to KILL their babies…what if you killed your baby 2 weeks after birth because one decides they don’t want to be a parent all of a sudden – is it the mother’s choice to get rid of the baby then too, what’s the difference in killing an infant inside the womb than outside the womb???? Think about that AMERICA!
I think that the Clinton’s need to say enough is enough. The rest of this campaign is up to Obama and Biden. Many think that the egocentric Obama has expected to much from the Clinton’s, this is his race to win. Unfortunately, Clinton’s supporters are not swayed to throw their vote behind Obama and after last nights speech it is evident that Obama picked the wrong VP.
Many are pleased to hear that Bill Clinton will not be at the stadium to hear Obama’s acceptance speech, why should he? After the treatment they dished out on him during the primaries, trying to discredit him as a racist he owes Obama nothing.
We know the media would love to think that all is well with the Democratic Party, but that is far from the truth. This party is so divided it will take longer then November to heal this riff. Clinton’s supporters are adamant that they will not waste their vote on Obama. Many will vote for McCain as a protest to the chosen one and the DNC.
I think if you replay the expressions on Michelle Obama’s face during Hillary’s speech that should sum it all up. Tolerance but not acceptance.
My, My. I do hear what sounds like hysteria from some of the comments here. Sounds like the Democrat party is in melt-down over all this Hillary/Obama stuff. Tsk. Tsk.
BTW, if you’re used to hearing the reporting from some of the other main stream media, I can see why Fox might sound conservative by comparison. However, what you’re really reading is BALANCED reporting. I really can see, though, why you might be misunderstanding the fact that with FOX you’re getting news the way it SHOULD be reported. Come on, hang with FOX just a little longer and you’ll get used to it. Eventually, you’ll get to the point that if you try to go back to your old mainstream media outlets, they’ll sound so left-biased and boring you won’t believe it.
It is so much wast of journalist time to print such pathetic piece. Where do these people get their degree. there is probably less then a dozen delegates who will vote clinton so why create such a big deal…then again its fox news can’t expect much more.
If Obama looses the election for any reason, there will be riots in the streets of this country. It won’t matter if McCain wins by a large majority, or by Supreme Court decision, the sentiment will be the election was stolen by the white man.
Something for the Clintons to ponder. love is not worn away by onw who leaves, but by one who will not go.
Fox is the Best. C onsidering all the attacks you receive, you must be hitting some raw nerves from the Democrats.
As a former Democrat, now an Independent, I congratulate the Marxist wing of the Democratic party for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The historic legacy of the Socialist left is well known from Hitler’s genocide of the Jews and others, to the bloody Russian and Chinese “cultural revolutions and their hundreds of millions of victims.
It is time moderate Democrats thought clearly and deeply about the type of change they are being offered. Perhaps they will leave the Democratic party en masse. That would be an intelligent change.
well, as a first time reader of a blog, i find it interesting the number of anti republicans reading and answering to a republican blog. if fox news is so anti democrat, why are they sharing information, and then getting responses from people who would rather get their information from other sources?
“The road to hell is often paved with the best of intentions.”
Anyone here, whom thinks that any candidate has the capacity to change a single thing, is no better than any other lemming that has come before them.
The real politicians that ‘every single one of us’ needs to get serious about are the ones we put in the House and Senate. The Presidency is just a face. He/she sets foreign policy, nominates judges, and other positions. The real damage is being done in the House & Senate. There is not one single president that can claim sole responsibility for where we are today. Rather, our current situation is the fruit born of the elected officials none of you seems to care a lick about.
There’s is too many things wrong with Obama. His lack of experience and his record bothers me.
He’s voting of present over 130 times in the Illinois Senate tells me that he can’t make the tough
decision when it counts. This is a guy that doesn’t really know where he stand on issues and if he really stands for anything at all. Like President Clinton said I don’t think this guy can deliver.

I am going to first make some of you mad first off by saying “Thank You Fox” for the most unbiased news coverage. I remember the coverage of the Bush/Clinton election with Harry Smith and Paula Zaun (not sure of the spelling, sorry Paula) sneering at the very mention of the Bush name. Their bias in favor of the Clintons was very evident at the time and contributed heavily to the Clinton victory.
Now I want to talk a little history and political science. The aim of the DNC is an attempt at making up for the 50 years of missing history on their website. What is missing you ask? 1.) There is no mention of the 7 Democratic Presidents that owned slaves. 2). The Democratic platforms of 1840-1860 all supported slavery. 3). 20 Democratic Party platforms from 1868-1948 supported or were silent on segregation. 4.) Lets not forget the post-Civil War Jim Crow laws segregating schools, transportation, restaurants, restrooms, etc. 5). The KKK was the strong arm of the Democratic Party. 6). The Democrats’ opposed the 13th slavery, 14th Dred Scott, and 15th right to vote, amendments. 7). A Republican Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 over the veto of Andrew Johnson, the Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1875 that was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by Ulysses Grant. The list is long and cumbersome but can be viewed from:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121856786326834083.html
The Democratic Party has always been known for it’s behind the scenes, closed door meetings and decision making on all things relevant or non-relevant. The Democrats have a terrible anti-African American history they wish they could hide, since it is now coming out into the sunshine due to Obama’s candidacy they have no option except to nominate him or loose the entire African American base. As he should, Obama will have to now make his own case. It would be helpful if he could stop remaining everyone that he is black, because he isn’t. He is like most of the rest of us, a little of this and a little of that, the same “Mongol” that most American ancestry is made up of.
Republican’s need to quit apologizing for the Bush presidency. We have Medicare D and Medicare Gap insurance, all of which the Democrats promised for the last 20 or 30 years but never gave us while they had the presidency. We are winning the war on terrorism that the Democrats refused to admit existed, refused to support and refused to fund. The money we are using to fight this war was not a gift from the Clinton presidency; it was a gift from the Republican Congress that forced Clinton to balance the budget.
Ray, I hope Clinton puts on his usual show. I would love to see him loosed tongue. It is too late to worry about its impact on Hillary’s campaign, buy now we all need a good laugh. I never thought I would say this, but I wanted to cry for Hillary last night. The annoyed look on Michelle Obama’s face during the continuous standing ovation was priceless.
Vote your conscience…that’s a pretty impossible thing for democrats to do. Anyone who can support politicians and a political platform that supports abortion has no conscience. Pelosi has been scolded by the ArchBishop in Washington for telling people the Church doesn’t have a stand on when life begins and the ArchBishop in Denver told Joe Biden dont’t take Communion. Pelosi and Biden are not good Catholics and have misstated the Church’s teachings to promote their own view and those who follow them. That is a dispicable think to do. They have killed their own consciences and told millions it’s alright to do the same. Peolsi quotes “St. Augustine” as evidence the Church disagrees on when life begins. She is wrong and so is St. Augustine. A good clue is there is no Book of St. Augustine in the Holy Bible.
The DNC needs to scrap the Obama campaign, it is a sure loose for the Democratic party. This is their last chance too regain the WhiteHouse with a Democrat in the office. No one can change Obama’s past, people are just not accepting it…
Democrat for McCain, unless Clinton is the nominee
Looks like a circus at the Democratic convention . The Mule , or Donkey, or Jackasses are on the floor. Are these the symbal of the Democratic party or are they all the same ?
I guess I am giving away my age but I remember when the Conventions were more than a commercial but were really a convention. I think it would be nice to see a full vote. If the outcome is for Obama then why worry. I would have liked to have seen the GOP go all the way.
Hillary was by far the strongest Democratic candidate…embarrassingly so. She won more votes that Barack Hussein Obama and more votes than any other primary candidate in the history of our nation.
I supported Hillary to the maximum degree, both financially and in my actions for her candidacy. I am proud of the campaign she ran and even more proud of the lifetime work and commitment she has given in service to our country.
HILLARY CLINTON was my preferred Presidential candidate…HOWEVER
SHE IS NOT A GOD,
SHE IS NOT MY EMPEROR
SHE IS NOT MY PUPPETEER
SHE IS NOT MY CULT LEADER.
Hillary has the right as a Presidential Candidate and American citizen to state her beliefs and I have the right as an American citizen (with a legit birth certificate to prove it) to disagree and vote and voice MY Presidential preference.
The freedom to make up my own mind based upon my own thought process and conscience is my right under United States LAW. This is exactly WHY Hillary is NOT responsible for the choices of her 18 million prior voters. ALL VOTERS HAVE FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
Hillary would be the first American in line to support every fellow American’s right to vote their own conscience…and to state that every one of those votes SHOULD COUNT.
I am a TRUE American citizen and the welfare of my COUNTRY comes before PARTY loyalty or loyalty to ANY candidate, even Hillary.
NO ONE OWNS MY VOTE BUT ME… and because of the specific actions of the DNC Elite in stabbing Hillary in the back and the corrupt actions of the DNC Rules and By-laws Committee, my vote will be for JOHN McCAIN.
So agree with AL from NJ and Glen! As for Major you are doing an awesome job as are the rest of your colleagues. Fox is the Only Non Biased Station on TV.
After that being said, WAKE UP PEOPLE! If and I say If Obama is not the Anti-Christ, then he is the prelim to what will come someday, and this is the best example of how people are so swayed with, smooth talking, arogance, someone who tells all the people exactly what they want to hear, not the truth, just the good things. If you are all so enthralled by this man and his tactics then God Help You All when the Anti-Christ does walk this earth if he is not already. It just blows me away how all of you just swoon over every word this man says, you are so gullable, you refuse to read or listen to the facts about this Man and his past, it’s like you have blinders on, so narrow minded, you are so easy to believe everything he says to you, which 99% of it is total BS, there is no Politician especially the President that can make all these things happen that he is promising. Has there ever been a “President” that made everything happen that he said he would during his campaign? Do you really believe the President of The United States has that much Power? If so then why do we have a Congress and Senate? You all blame Bush for everything, why don’t you ask our Democratic Congress and Senate what they have done for you lately? If it was all just the Presidents decision then why bother with all of the other people? You are all so foolish and I find it very scary that you all believe one word from this mans mouth. I am not saying that McCain has all of the answers, but I do know one thing his background is impectable, he loves this country, was willing to die and be crucified for this country, what more does this man have to do to show you people that he will PROTECT YOU and do all that he can to give you what you NEED, not just what you want. It will not matter how good Obama’s domestic issues are if there is no Country. Let us Protect Our Country First, then we can deal with the domestic issues. Please take some time before you cast your vote, do not vote with emotions and just the desire to have the First Black Person to be President, which yes in my book someday that would be Awesome, but this is not the man, but we will have a Black President someday. Don’t just think that you want to be part of some Historical Moment, seriously look at the issues, the experience, look at the Soul of the Candidate, go far beyond the Articulate Young, vibrant, ambious personality. God Bless You All and God Bless this Country, I think it is going to need it.
It ain’t over ’til the Orange Pantsuit sings! “Vote your conscience”? What’s wrong with that, after all, …..92% of African – Americans are! If there’s a way, she’ll find it.
It is sad that hate and lies are what politics has come to be about and that people like John McCain get caught up in promoting this kind of talk. Shame on them and you for polluting public discourse and undermining our democracy. Let’s just crown King Karl Rove and be done with it. That way our investments will be safe even as child poverty continues to rise (see the press reports today). Then again let’s forget about problems and just throw mud at each other. Better still let’s all go numb watching Fox News do it for us. Good night, and good luck.
Yes, vote your conscience, but than she goes and declares everyone after New York is to vote for Obama,,,,,how pathetic is that! Can Clinton tell everyone how to vote? NO,
Why am I not seeing my comments here?
Fox news is the best coverage ever. I don’t understand what all you guyts are talking about! But, I really can’t wait until the Rec. GOP Convention! Just you all wait.
good luck John! We are wilth you in Montana
Hillary is an embarrassment, she lost and she is winning. Let’s see if New Yorkers will reelect her.
Why do we bother taking our time from work and what ever else we are doing to vote in the primary if these delegates get to vote how ever they feel at the convention? If this kind of crap is going to happen why bother with us all voting just take the delegates to the convention and skip our vote. It would save a lot of time and money. All 47 votes went to Obama for Arkansas and Hillary won the state. This is not a matter of being a bad loser this is a matter of your vote counting. It is a shame and I am sick of the process. I may vote Obama and then again I may vote McCain. I am sick of not mattering to the democratic party and I may just change to independent and give my vote to McCain as a protest!
What a waste of time reading this useless tripe. Was anything enlightening written? Sucky piece.
Why does Fox cut off comments on Cameron’s useless bloggings, btw?
I am one of those grumpy Hillary supporters who still WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR MICHELLE OR BARACK!!!! For the first time in my abulthood, I will be voting for Senator McCain. I do not appreciate being called grumpy!!!!!!
Was it wrong for us to go into Iraq and Afghanistan to lift the veil of women literally and figuratively to have self digninity and rights? Were the blue fingers held high of democracy in Iraq a failed policy? Were the American troop’s that have shed life and liberty wasted on the hope and dreams of a choice of freedom for people that can not speak for themselves?
How can we say we are united as a nation and a people and a world if we do not “bloody our nose to walk down the street”. “BIDEN SPEECH” to stand up for those who can not defend themselves. We, America, are the champions of the disenfranchised, the weak the lost souls of the world.
If we do not provided the warm blanket of sanity and hope then the world will wake up tired, cold and scared.
FOR THOSE WHO WHINE ABOUT FOX NEWS, The wine-y ass dem’s have been spoiled so long with network liberal bias…….when a station finally tells the objective truth such as FOX, they cry like a bunch of bleeding heart BABIES …………cry on ……..and by the way….the so-called hollywood actors prancing around the DNC……self serving kiss- asses….are really campaigning for the next big movie role…………I DARE YOU TO SEE YOU ON “THE FACTOR”…….OR HANNITY AND COLMBS…………..or better yet….. maybe SPIKE LEE, the great movie director that he is, might give it a shot……”OH” he doesn’t DO fox………GOOD CAREER MOVE….”……….KISS ASS…….
Republicans appear to be very selfish people whom only seem to look out for thier own well being. They are a people who hide behind Christian values when they really only care about abortion and gay rights. What ever happenened to the principles of the Bible that these people say theuy care so much about “helping people who are less fortunate than yourself, not judging people, and loving everyone no matter if you agreed with their opinions or not. Every time I listen to a Republican its all aboiut what they can do to help themselves. If you say you are Christians, which most of you say you are then start pracaticing what you preach!!!!!!t
Barack Obama is the least qualified presidential candidate ever to run for office in this country. The only reason blacks will vote for him is because he is black and the only reason whites will vote for him is to prove they are not prejudice. Talk about affirmative action!!! The man has no qualifications and no experience. If he was white no one would vote for him.
I dont know why, but I keep coming to these forums looking for substantive, policy based reasons why folks have such a problem with Obama…..and I continue to be disappointed. Whether you hate the man, his color, his name or not, why would Hillary Clinton supporters vote for more tax breaks, more reckless spending in Iraq, more siding with big oil and big business, just because they cant get over a primary loss? Is hate still this powerful in a country that asks for God’s blessings?
Like the Obama campaign, I want to believe America is better and smarter than this, but if Im wrong, not only is the Democratic party about to go down the toilet, so is the country.
Please vote your conscience, but make it about the issues, not the ideologies. I understand change can be painful, but its gotta be better than what we have now folks.
WHY IS EVERYONE SO FIRED UP ABOUT HAVING A BLACK MAN AS PRESIDENT ? HE HAS A WHITE MOTHER AND A BLACK FATHER , HE HAS AS MUCH WHITE BLOOD RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS AS BLACK BLOOD , SO WERE NOT MAKING HISTORY , BECAUSE HE IS A MIXTURE , SO DONT GET OVER JOYED ABOUT THE ZEBRA PRINCE . HIS CAMPAGIN HAS BEEN LIKE A CIRCUS AND THE CONVENTION LIKE A SOAP OPERA . SORRY HILLARY I REALY DO ADMIRE YOU AND I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR YOU , BUT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THE ZEBRA PRINCE , I DONT TRUST HIM , I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER
I am very disapointed in American Democrats this year. Hillary ia a Church going God fearing person and people let her down. Yet Obama is a person that has absolutely no Church Home and is very associated with the Devil, Bill Ayers, Minister Wright and a slue of Muslims, and you set him on a pedestal, and try to make him a king; “What is the matter with you Americans?”
These four people has arose from no where Barack, Michelle and their two children looking for glory, and living off of the life of others; Obama is not going to help you anymore than he is helping his black family in Kenya. He has a bone to pick against his African father, because he walked away from him at a young age, now he thinks he can show the world responsibility, well i am not enthused about him and his misfourtune with his family. You think you have had a hard time Americans? well try walking a mile in my shoes. and when these taxes sprang upon you, you will know what I am talking about, living from month on a $466.00 check a month. God bless you all, because you will need it with a President, that don’t have or fear a GOD…
“The Bourbon Room”, how southern elitist can you get? But only the consumption of large quantites of alcohol can explain the cloudy alcoholic haze that entertainer Major Garret sees the world through. I can’t understand how people can be so naive as to confuse the Fox Entertainment Channel with real hard news channel; Fox more closely resembles Comedy Central than anything else, and is always good for a laugh. These are the same sad, ignorant people who believe all the viral emails and think Obama was educated in a Madrasa, when 10 seconds worth of research at Politifact.com or Factxheck.com would clear things up. People far too stupid to check the facts. Stupid sheep.
Who cares?
Investigation to begin into whether Governor Sarah Palin abused her power in firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan
By Corey Allen-Young, CBS 11 News Reporter
Article Last Updated: 07/28/2008 06:49:51 PM AKDT
Lawmakers will hire someone within a week to investigate whether Governor Sarah Palin abused her power in firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The legislative council approved 100,000 dollars for the investigation that will find out whether Palin was angry at Monegan for not firing an Alaska State Trooper who went through a messy divorce with Palin’s sister.
On Monday afternoon, the Joint Legislative Council, filled with Republicans and Democrats, voted 12 to 0 to formally call for an investigation against Governor Palin in a manner—that they are stressing—will be unbiased and done in a timely fashion.
Legislators approved hiring a special investigator to look into the controversial firing of former Public
Courtesy, KTOO-TV Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. Monegan was fired two weeks ago without explanation and has said he was pressured by the governor and her staff to fire a trooper who was once married to Palin’s sister.
Accusations have risen that Monegan was fired for his refusal to fire trooper Michael Wooten. The council’s intent is to investigate the circumstances and events surrounding the termination of Monegan and potential abuses of power and improper action by the Governor and her administration.
“It is the intent of the legislative council that the investigation be professional, unbiased, independent, objective, and conducted at arms length from the political process,” said, Senator Kim Elton, a Democrat from Juneau.

“I think what it really gets down to is after the comma, add potential abuses of power and
I still want Hillary Clinton to be president. Or at the least Vice President. Barack Obama made a very big mistake not having her be his Vice President. Big mistake. I will be voting, but I’m still undecided. Looks like Mc Cain is closer to what Americans want. And he chose a woman.

Lawmakers will hire someone within a week to investigate whether Governor Sarah Palin abused her power in firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The legislative council approved 100,000 dollars for the investigation that will find out whether Palin was angry at Monegan for not firing an Alaska State Trooper who went through a messy divorce with Palin’s sister.
On Monday afternoon, the Joint Legislative Council, filled with Republicans and Democrats, voted 12 to 0 to formally call for an investigation against Governor Palin in a manner—that they are stressing—will be unbiased and done in a timely fashion.
Legislators approved hiring a special investigator to look into the controversial firing of former Public
Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. Monegan was fired two weeks ago without explanation and has said he was pressured by the governor and her staff to fire a trooper who was once married to Palin’s sister.

Before posting on various blogs, you should gather ALL the information. Clearly you can see that this State Trooper had some real problems and should have been dealt with.
Mr Monegan had previously refused to fire Mrs Palin’s estranged former brother-in-law, a state trooper who allegedly threatened to shoot her father during a nasty child custody battle with her sister.
Mrs Palin said that Mr Monegan was removed for failing to fill vacancies and welcomed a public examination of her actions. Mr Moneghan said he was put under pressure to sack the state trooper Michael Wooten by Mr Palin’s husband Todd and a senior aide.
An internal trooper investigation had found Mr Wooten guilty of several infractions – using a Taser stun gun on his stepson, drinking on duty, threatening his then father-in-law and shooting a moose without a permit, the Anchorage Daily News reported yesterday.
