“Naturally the common people don’t want war. But after all, it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it’s always a
simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every
country.”
- Hermann Goering, Hitler’s Reich Marshall, at the Nuremberg
Trials after World War II.

At this point, even if you don't vote Dem, it's fine. We cannot afford four more years of this. Why hasn't this administration been held accountable, Congress? Where were the impeachment hearings? Where were the trials?

Good people have died or have been disfigured for life on a war based on lies.

History will condem Bush...Nixon will look like a great President in comparison.

If you love this country DON'T VOTE FOR McCAIN!

YOU ARE A NEGATIVE PERSON....YOUR BLOGS SHOW IT...MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, CAUSE OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITEDS STATES.....WHO KNOWS YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF IN A BETTER SITUATION THAN NOW....SO YOU CAN STOP BEING BITTER AND HOLD TO YOUR GUN!!! lol

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY OBAMA IS GOING TO BEAT MCBUSH!!!!!

OBAMA '08

Yes WE CAN!

You need prayer...

OBAMA '08

And here I thought we would ACTUALLY find WMD in Iraq someday...... soon..... or was that Oil we went looking for!

Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater, the White House travel office firings, White House coffees and Lincoln bedroom stays for donors, FBI background files on Republicans, missing documents and the presidential pardon of a fugitive friend.

Anyone But Hillary!

How quick you libs forget how your last nominee stole the whitehouse china, bold faces lied about his affair in the whitehouse and lord knows what else.

Sad.....very sad.

Swallow your pride and realize the bigger picture. We NEED this now more than ever! Don’t divide and fall, let us stand tall and concur this political catastrophe the republicans have gotten us into.

Bush is as honest as all those rich bureaucrats whose taxes were reduced because of him.

Let's this prick out of the white house !!....but do not put McBush instead because it will be worse..

She wants to decide for the leader of her party, instead of following rule that was strongly agreed upon.

Her actitdue is disgusting, the Clinton are eager to go back to the White House by all means.

If it is possible for the Clintons to buy their way into the White House they would have done just that.

It very clear that she can't win the nominee ,but yet she continues to push and criticize the leader of her party for not agreeing with her or not following Her own rules.

She doesn't take no for an answer, either she have it her way or no way. Now she is waiting for negative possibility to happen with Obama so she can steal it from Him. Is't that desparate to suggest that something negative might happen along the way and that will give her the nomination?

DNC please follow Hillary/Bill Clinton's rule so that we will have rest of mind.

Hillary have you found someone to do your dirty laundry?

Hillary supporters. Valiant effort, but the game is up. Don’t do the disservice to this country by trashing Obama. He's the best person for this country right now and the people have spoken on that!

Democrat for president 08!

Go Bush becos u just got Bushed my your own friend and personel

This is why we need open clear politics!

Obama 08'

Publishing it in a book means his goal is $$$. Clear and simple.

That is why Hillary can never be elected…she would be worse than Bush!!

So, then I guess all the statements made by the dems in the late '90's and even leading up to and after we went into Iraq would be propaganda too??

All dems are traitors, and should be punished for turning their backs on this country!!

CNN Print this if you DARE>!

But still, Scott, was knowingly and willingly immersed in all of the crap that was going on -- and was a willful participate for many, many years. Perhaps this was out of loyalty....

Which makes one wonder... is Scott doing coming out like this because he sprouted a conscious, or is he thinking about the dividends of his tell-all book?

Either way, it confirms.... Bush and crew are slime.

It wouldn't have taken a rocket scientist to realize that going into Iraq to try to make them a democracy would work. What it would have taken is what only 30% of the American population has, a college education. I honestly don't think Bush would have gotten reelected if more Americans would have been knowledgeable about other cultures, something that is usually learned at a liberal arts, 4 year university and some other colleges. There are also those people who aren't college educated but read a lot about other cultures and religions, which can be just as useful, as far as understanding what's realistic.

And here we are again... Looks like the wrong person will have a good chance to become president, again, because of America's ignorants. For you Mc Cain (McBushy) fans, you go ahead and vote for that old, dusty puppet. You Christians out there, go ahead and vote for Mc Cain and watch him kill more people (including your sons and daughters) in Iraq for no reason. And don't believe that our troops are dieing for American freedom because our freedom hasn't been threaten since World War 2.

I do think Obama has something that none of the other politicians have, and that's a rich cultural background. Obama will have a better understanding of what it would take to be a good president (leader) and diplomat. Yes, our next president will also have to be a great diplomat; that's what it's going to take to get help from other countries and to reestablish a better American image in this world. Yes, this country does need help from other countries now. We need better trade deals and so on, and that might happen if our image becomes more positive.

And for you Christians out there who will always vote republican just because they seem to be Christian too, because of there feelings on abortion and whatever else, go ahead, and see how much this country will suffer if McBushy makes it in. While McBushy is killing thousands more of our troops and others for nothing, we’ll be pinching our pockets because all of the bonds (loans) that will need to be paid back to China to support a war that would cost another trillion dollars. I know the war is just a drop in the bucket compared to other financial problems, but it sure doesn't help. Who knows how much those bonds are going to cost us when they are finally paid back.

First let me say that I appreciate your taking Marv to task, there are several supporters of Mr. Obama that need to be taken to task on these blogs.

Second I disagree with the conclusion you have reached concerning Mr. Obama. While I feel that calling someone a slack jawed mental midgeet is uncalled for I would tend to use that expression on those who claim that Ms. clinton is "Short on Rhetoric and long on substance". I would point out that her "experiance" is NOT real, her 35 years includes barely 5 years in ACTUAL public service, as has been pointed out by many serving tea during treaty discussions is not the same as discussing treaties. her time in the Senate is NOT filled with very many bills written or sponsered by her. As a matter of fact Mr. Obama has sponsored more bills in his (2 year) shorter tenure in the Senate than Ms. Clinton has, including a non-partisian Nuclear non-proliferation bill. Mr. Obama's record in Illinois is actually very strong on non partisian work to reduce corruption in the legislature there. During this campaing Ms. Clinton has used EVERY misstatement by Mr. Obama in her stump speeches where as Mr. Obama has reframed (mostly) from those type attacks. he has NEVER raised her outright lies about sniper fire in Bosnia, for example, in ANY speech. This shows a higher character, one who understands that, while in this race they are opponents, they are not, in reality, on different sides. He understands that they are trying to find the one best to articulate the beliefs of the Democratic Party and that they are NOT really enemies. Ms. clinton has forgotten that, she has forgotten that this is not about her but about who is best to represent America for at least the next four years.

So in short if you would like to articulate your objections to Mr. Obama, backed up with fact (as I have done here, breifly, with my objections) and discuss this election I would live to do that with you at any time. Your attacks on the posters here, much like Ms. Clinton's attacks on Mr. Obama (IMO) seem to say that you are not willing to ahve that discussion either. Now take your PHd and use it, vote OBAMA 08. After all I am using my 21 years as an enlisted in the Navy, my degree earned while in the Navy on my "free time", my experiance managing a fast food rest., my experiance as a bricklayer, my experiance as an Engineer and Prjoect Manager and making a thoughtful decision and voting for the one candiadte, while not perfect, who is MOST LIKELY to change the way Washington is run. i am willing to take the educated chance to better things where as you appear to be too afraid to make a change to keep the lying Washington partisian politicos in power. It has failed so far why do you think it will change?
