Wonderful expose on Cspan and the evolution of the democratic canidates stance on the Iraqi war through their own words. HRC and Edwards are the political whores in this race. HRC voted for the authorization to give Bush the authority to invade Iraqi because she was both delusional in thinking that Sadaam had wmd, she was so stauch in her support of Bush. Needing to appear hawkish in order for a woman to be thought of as commander in chief. Edwards personally doubted to give Bush the authority but his political advisor told him it would be political suicide to go against the drumbeat of war. Both cared more for their political careers than our soliders dying. Which is the worst sin of humanity. Only Obama has been consisent with his good judgement in saying going to war was a bad idea, even when it could have cost him his senate seat. He is the only canidate that hasn't or will play games with the young men and women in the military. That is why he is getting most of the militay donations. I'm sick and tired of politicans putting their political gain above the public good. Obama 08!

They are both a pair of sell-out whores..!

Bilderberger bitches..Edwards too..

If you wanna know how much Repubs really 'support the troops' look at the Walter Reed Hospital scandal. Look at the mold on the walls and the cockroaches crawling across the floor. That's how much Republicans value military service.

Get the point here, Rush?

You weren't just flat out wrong, you offended a majority of those of us who actually had the courage to go to Iraq and serve, while you sat back in your nice studio, coming up with crap like this.

My challenge to you, then, is to have me on the show and say all of this again, right to the face of someone who served in Iraq. I'll come on any day, any time. Not only will I once again explain why your comments were so wrong, but I will completely school you on why your refusal to seek a way out of Iraq is only aiding al Qaeda and crippling American security.

Ball's in your court.

Ball's? You can't use that term when talking about Rush the oxycontin and viagra man.

Rush Limpbaugh calls people 'phoney soldiers'. He avoided Viet Nam because he had a boo-boo on his bootie. A big stinky sore on his big, stinking arse. It's a good thing he didn't go to Nam - who'd have wanted to be in a hole next to that fat, pill poppin sissy - sweating like a rainstorm and shaking like a leaf on a tree? Not me. But where is the outrage among Repubs??? He bad mouthed the troops!!!

Democrats raising more money than Repubs? That hasn't happened often in my life. The Repubs are like a bunch of bowling pins and 08 is rolling down the aisle for a strikeroonie!

Hey Hillbilly - stop fondling Sydsdad and read this:

WASHINGTON - It is gallows humor time for Republicans in Congress, where one lawmaker jokes that "there's talk about us going the way of the Whigs," the 19th century political party long extinct.
"That's not going to happen," Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., hastens to add, although a little more than a year before the 2008 election, the major leading political indicators still point downward for a party abruptly turned out of power in 2006.

Fundraising for Republican campaign organizations lags. That is strikingly so in the House, where the party committee spent more than it raised in each of the past two months, reported only $1.6 million in the bank at the end of August and a debt of nearly $4 million.

Who cares about this? This country has tons of money for campaigns and war and none for healthcare and education and helping poor people.

This is the equivalent of drooling over a baseball player signing a 30 million dollar contract; it's obscene.

Read the Hussein story below. THAT is news. THAT should be all over the place, Bush should be arrested and taken to the Hague.

Is this good news or bad? Doesn't anyone at Huffington Post get the point, that the more politics is infused with $$$$$, the worse it gets? That the more time and effort candidates expend on making $$$$$, the less time they have to improve the country? That the more time candidates spend on making $$$$$, the greater the influence over them by people with their own private agendas?

Please, please stop with the fundraising stories!

How many people out there are sick-to-death of this damned "money race"? How much money or how much "name recognition" someone has should not be the deciding factor here. We all know shrub had buckets of money and everyone knew his name. Look at the miserable mess this nation is in now, look at the incompetent handling of everything that is important to the average person, look at the deaths gwb is PERSONALLY responsible for, listen to and FEEL the general despair that hangs in the air in this nation, and tell me that all we need for someone to become president is MONEY and NAME RECOGNITION?? We need brains, BACKBONE, ideas, integrity. The talk shows are focused on the "front runners" and to Hell with the people with the brains who SHOULD be being heard. E-mail Keith Olbermann and Chris Mathews, Chuck Todd, Richard Wolffe, and Dana Milbank. Tell these people who are fortunate enough to have a speaking opportunity that reaches the masses, that MORE NEEDS TO BE HEARD FROM THE IGNORED. These people have ideas that should be placed into the mainstream so people who are so busy and downtrodden with the unbelievable burden of simply keeping their heads above water (that encompasses about 75% of us) can give some thought to who is really going to be the best leader of this country. Most of us are too tired to do more than skim the headlines and read a few paragraphs, so the media have told us who we will be voting for, the front-runners. Most of us don't know anything about the others. Please people, wake up!! The republican party, or at least those who have appointed themselves emperors of same, has nearly killed this nation. They MUST be gotten rid of and that is going to take real intlligence, not money and looks! We have to get more exposure of those running who are not in first and second place. This is going to require a change in mindset, since the USA is the nation that sees money as God.

And what has changed in their positions that should push us in one direction or another. As far as I can see it is after Labor Day and the campaign season is in full swing. Is this really news? We know they both have money raising machines, but both remain vague on their direction of governance.

I am so glad the media has determined who the democratic nominee will be. Or, at least narrowed the field to two. It saves us non-media people (aka the American voting public) from having to go through the trouble of actually voting. I am sure those few thousand people used in each media survey reflect what the entire 150 million registered voters think. Another job well done by those people who brought us the pre-Iraq War Bush party line which also saved us from having to make an informed decision.

Historically cash donations are lower in the third quarter. And this is accross the board of canidates. HRC has in the last two quarters try to low ball her amount raised and inflate Obama's so that it seems she is doing well and Obama's has missed the target. Obama usually low balls his numbers by 5 million. I think when all the money is counted, Obama will still be ahead of HRC in fundraising probably at the same rate as in the second quarter.

This is why the story was "leaked" a couple days ago that Obama was blowing Clinton away in fundraising.

In reality they're neck and neck.

Gee, Clinton looks a lot stronger THAN I am supposed to have THOUGHT.
