1.) Ending a war and bringing troops home. Check
2.) Oil prices skyrocketing. Check
3.) Carter/Obama running for president. Check

It's 1975 all over again!!!

Jimmy P says "Come'on over moderate Dems, help save our country from far leftist tyranny!"

What planet do the kool-aid drinking, 29% [R] true-believers think we live on?

#1 - So moderate dems are the only ones that would have voted for Hillary? Ha! And even if so, had Hillary won the nomination, your characterization of them would not be any different than the one you are now using for Obama supporters. What a typical [R] hypocrite and jerk.

#2 This country has never needed saving from your fairytale of a so-called far-left tyranny. But what is abundantly clear to those with working neurons is that the country certainly DOES need saving from the tyranny of the current far right administration and their remaining [R] minions in congress.

You people who want to remain in your [R] created version of the Dark Ages, please go to Afghanistan to live in a cave with your soulmate Osama. You'll enjoy small gov't, no taxes, certainly no worry that Bush's America will bother you..... the simple life for the simpletons.

What donors? They don't have two wooden nickels to rub together and they think that's leverage? He doesn't need their money. They need to grow up and put the future of the nation first, and stop with the childish tantrums we have seen and heard about how they are going to stay home or vote for that old geezer on the other side. What about their daughters? Do these self-smugged HRC baby-boomers really care about anyone other than themselves? So far, we're not seeing it. Here's the bottom line, HRC people: If you don't vote, you have no right to complain about anything. If you vote for McSame, that's all you'll be doing for the next four years. THINK

Oh my…. are we not sick of this subject yet. Move on people! And my advise to the Clinton supporter…. Get over yourselves.
**********************************

We will get over ourselves, when she wins the nomination in Denver. The Delegets still have to vote for their true leader, then and only then can you Obamanats, if he wins the nomination say he is the candidate of the Democratic Party .

HRC supporters will not be missed. Obamacans like myself and my husband, who switched our registration from Republican to Democrat in order to caucus for Barack in the primaries, donate to his campaign and vote for him in the general, will well make up for the pissed off PUMAS who are SO without a life that they would actually sit home or vote for McCain come November. Obama will be our next POTUS, HRC will have some cabinet post, so pipe down, PUMAS!

Hillary Clinton supporters would cut off their noses to spite their faces by expecting Obama to help pay off her debt or they will not vote for him. This is blackmail pure and simple. What has she done for him so far except call him down during the primaries. If Obama should select Hillary as his VP then his term will be a disaster as Bill would not be of any help. Aren't his actions now proving this. Hillary would be doing Obama a big favour by refusing to run with him should he ask. Also, the world is very interested in Obama winning.

Is John McSame a flip flopper??? Let's see...

McCain will repeal the AMT. Wait, no ...
...not exactly. The presidential candidate has been saying he would eliminate the so-called "wealth tax" that threatens the non-wealthy. But now he supports a more modified plan.

That's not only a flip flop, it a half gainer with a full twist!!!! LOL!!!!

I will NOT contribute ANYTHING AT ALL TO HILLARY OR BILL CLINTON. She should have droped out when it was clear she could not win the nominee, but she chose to hang on & run up the debt. Clintons are multi-milionaires, they are rich enough to pay their own debt that Hillary ran up by a poorly managed campaign & very poor judgment. Further, she tried everything possible to destroy Obama, & kept all the dirt going on & on as long as she could. I can't see how any of us feel like paying her for that!!

In a perfect world, and as a voter with Democratic sympathies, I would be totally on board with helping to retire the debts of the first woman in history to win a presidential primary.

In the real world, that candidate was Hillary, who despite staffing a gaggle of veteran pols, ran a badly organized campaign. Her "Plan B" was an appeal to Appalachian racists after the winner had already been decided. Thanks, but no thanks! As their tax papers show, Hillary and Bill can afford to pay their self-inflicted debts, ten times over.

there is nothing Obama can do to win over Hillary supporters to satify them,if he pays off her debts which they couldnt do,it still wont be enough forget them they are just a bunch of racist anyway,never will they vote black so lets be real about this situation .they use this as an excuse but more of us understand and see it than they think,we say good bye to her supporters and may god bless them and JONH MCCAIN may he continue to take them thru hell on earth like BUSH

White People for Obama: Why would we support her??? Other than all the obvious reasons, how about because people like you call her supporters Nazis? Do you understand how defamatory and rude that is? Do you have any clue what the Nazis were like and yet you glibly throw this word around to generalize 18 million people in your own country??? Because, in addition to all the positive traits she has, there are people out there like you who hate her, that's why I support her. Because if I'm on the opposite side of the fence from you, I know I'm doing the right thing.

From an independent's perspective: this is rich. Hillary supporters come across as shrill, menopause-deranged shrews, the epitome of the stereoptypical white racist feminists the right loves to bash. Obama is no rockstar, for god's sake. He's a politician with essentially the same politics as Hillary if you'd bother to look at their platforms, and with a much more effective campaign organization. All this b.s. about "his church preaching hate and racism" just exposes the cultural and historical ignorance of whites who do not want to face the fact that black america has had a lot to be angry about. Black liberation rhetoric is just that; a historically contextual rhetoric. To spin it as anything else is just ignorant or disingenuous. Reflect on the racism and hate spewing from the pulpits of white churches much?

Bulldog: Stop listening to the news and use your head. If 18 million people voted for Hillary, there's more than just a few males in that group. Heck, I'd bet there's even 30 or 40 young people and at least 10 african americans! As for who was nastier in the primaries, well, lets just let that gun smoke for awhile, o.k.?? There's too many quotes that show who the real trigger puller was (he just had someone else put their hand on the trigger but it was him doing the squeezing).

Some people don’t have a clue, but that doesn’t make them a lesser person. If some men have problem with women they can’t help it. Just like understanding is a gift, if you didn’t get it, you can’t show it.

Funny how some folks think PUMA movement is a Republican operation. Some folks just cannot predict. PUMA is refraction of the Democratic Party. They originated from the party. Perhaps the party leaders may not able to see the rainbow in the sky (because their eyes are clouded) but children do. They are a real hope for America. That’s just my opinion.

While grown ups are doing silly hide and seek game in the media exposure (noting is sacred anymore), real children are enjoying the rainbow in the sky.

Go PUMA!

Do we need a history lesson here? Hilliary was able to walk into a Senate nomination in a state she never lived in, has campaigned on all of her experience being married to a President but did not have the integrity to say go slow before going to war (there were no WMD's on Bill's watch), and had all the advantages to win the primaries but still lost.

If it hadn't been for Monica, Hillary would be just the wife of an ex-President.

You know it is just possible that maybe some of Hillary's supporters just simple do not want to back someone with so little experience and that they really know nothing about. By the way, I vote Republican so as an impartial opinion, Hillary Clinton was treated a lot worse than Barrack Obama during the compaign. I don't think either of them treated each other that bad but I do think the media and some others attacked HIllary Clinton constantly.

ENOUGH WITH THE REV. WRIGHT STUFF. You people really get me with how limited you are falling for a couple of soundbites. Until you tell me you YOURSELF sat in that church for 20 years – you have no idea what was said and done in the church. Quit demonizing this faith community simply because you don't like what ONE MAN, said on ONE CLIP. How about I come to your church and demonize your pastor for what he or she is saying because I don't agree with it? Come up, be grown up voters, not silly whiners.

All you Obama lovers better look into your candidate so you don't look stupid when the swiftboats start their patrols....After all....you really don't think that Haliburton, Boeing, Northrup, Colt Arms and thousands of other military vendors around the world are going to allow anyone to win the Presidency and threaten their little money making war in the Mid East do you?

To John and Obama supporters, How dare you said that Clinton supporters who won't show respect for Obama are children. Why should we support a guy that doesn't have a plan to get us out of this bad economy, the war, healthcare all he does is just speeches with no plans, now who is a child??? Hillary didn't lost the primary as Obama didn't win the election, he was selected by the DNC leaders and both didn't have the magic number to lock in the nomination, so the party leaders push the superdelegates to bakc Obama, how democratic is that? She is more qualified thatn he is and had plans to get America forward, but of'couse they didn't want her to be our nominee because they know she was more stronger candidate than he was... Please also know this, Hillary's campaign is on the red, yes we all know that, but the reason that happend is because we all wanted her to stay in the race, we all wanted the opportunity to have the chance to cast our vote in this historical primary, she put in her own money and has mention doesn't want back, only the money to pay the vendors. Would Obama had done that for you? hmmm nope... So Obama supporters, get off the cross cause they need the wood...

The problem is that if you did that, you wouldn't have the money to try and buy influence with Obama. Your gig is up. Go away. We don't need you or your money. Frankly, I don't like you and I think you're just another rich fool trying to buy influence by playing on the emotions of others. Does it even register with you that the McCains blew $800K in one month for a shopping spree? And, you call Obama an elitist?? I guess he is an elitist if it means rising above slime like you!

It is telling what really matters to Obama supporters: Hillary has now completely laid down for him, campaigned for him, told her supporters they should vote for him. And yet all those knee-jerk Hillary haters won't be satisfied until her supporters also buy the election for him! It's all about money, and making some people's voice count more than others through their money. It may be small money, but it's still about outbuying and outshouting the opponent instead of facing him on his policies and record!

There's no reason a fundraiser or an individual should give money to a candidate they don't yet believe in. If Obama convinces these folks on his own merits, he'll get their money, and that's how it should be.

Why should anyone be asked to help with the Clinton debt?

Her campaign was in the RED about mid April so WHY did they continue to go deeper in debt? They knew that they had not chance of getting enough delagates to win, so who and why did they continue to run?

If her supporters really wanted her to keep going then THEY should step up and give her the extra funds, I do not think ALL of her supporters have max out. Maybe a few. Other wise the Clintons will have to pay their own bills if they lept running for their own egos.

That's my 2 cents worth.

This is absolutely unreal. Obama fans have to be idiots at this point. He sat in that racist church for 20 years, he flip flops like the inexperienced candidate that he is, has had many questionable relationships over the years, in his obsession for power he jumped in front of other more qualified candidates and yet they continue to idolize him.

I think they have the Presidential race confused with American idol. I don't see anything at all to admire or vote for.

Hopefully there are more of us older voters who know a wolf in sheep's clothing when we see one!

The fact that she still wants a roll call at the convention which can only cause a divide and has hired a LAWYER to negotiate it, tells me she is throwing good money after bad. Why would I contribute to her further efforts to divide the party?

Let's see–she spoke of McCain being qualified and Obama not being qualified for pres. She mentioned that she was staying in because there had been a candidate shot and killed in the past. Gosh, why wouldn't we send her our gas money and walk to work? If her own supporters aren't helping that much, she shouldn't expect his to.
