You have completely made my day. I have not laughed so hard for a very long time. You have a gift, and you save me a tremendous amount of time on Sunday afternoon.
And BTW- I called my husband into the room during Hardball on Thursday to look at Chris Matthew's hair! My husband let me color his hair once, and he was laughed out of his office. He won't let me near him with the hair dye now. posted 05/11/2008 at 14:36:06

Obama Campaign Launches "Vote For Change" Voter Registration Drive

What a great endorsement. Thank you Rep. Capps. I agree completely that he speaks to our better angels and I am looking forward to an administration that does not believe it needs to be the bully of the world. I want a president who doesn't automatically resort to a military solution to any and all conflicts that arise.

The first injection of racial stereotyping in this campaign happened when Hillary Clinton's co-chair in New Hampshire gave an interview to a major news publication and stated that if Barack Obama experimented with drugs as a youth, how could we be sure that he was not a drug dealer?
Racism has become more sophisticated in the 21st century, but it exists in full force. I do not believe for one minute that Bill or Hillary Clinton are racist, however I do believe completely that they have injected race in subtle and not so subtle ways. They are desperate to win, and are willing to sacrifice the democratic party in order to feed the insatiable narcissism that they both know so well.
So don't tell me that the Clinton's did not open Pandora's box on this one. They did, and the evil has hovered above us all ever since. posted 04/30/2008 at 16:06:24

Man In Clinton's 'Bitter' Ad Isn't Registered To Vote
Perhaps being stuck in some sort of racial time warp has made it difficult for you to understand modern technology.
Obama Girl is in no way associated with the Obama Campaign. She made a You Tube video in an effort to launch herself toward her 15 minutes of fame. The man featured in the ad which is paid for (hopefully) and supported by the Clinton Campaign told the campaign that he was from New Jersey and voted there on Feb. 5th. They ran the ad anyway. posted 04/16/2008 at 11:50:35

I'm not young, and I have my facts straight. I take issue with your characterization about Hillary bringing "honor and trustworthiness" to our great country, as she has lied about her role in foreign policy in both Bosnia and Northern Ireland. She has lied about her role in domestic policy related to the Children's Health Insurance Program and the Family Medical Leave Act. And she voted for the biggest foreign policy blunder in our nations history by way of the Iraq war.
If you want honesty in government, we need to change the way our government works. Hillary is not that change. posted 04/16/2008 at 11:45:23

Jay:
You can explain it all you want, but the bottom line is that the invitation was not issued to Mayhill Fowler. It was given to her by an acquaintance, and it indicated that this was a private fundraiser with no press coverage. And if Mayhill is so well acquainted with Barack Obama, she would know that these words, phrased in a most awkward manner, do not reflect the true heart of Barack Obama.
So I could care less if The Huffington Post or Off The Bus or Mayhill Fowler are credited for this story. You are an accessory to an unwarranted character assassination, and now you can live with that. posted 04/15/2008 at 16:06:52

Clinton Under Fire Over False Story Of Health Care Horror
Having worked in multiple ER's since 1982 (which pre-dates the 1986 EMTALA regulations) I have never seen a patient turned away. Even the homeless people who are looking for a warm place to lie down and a meal are not turned away.
Patients do die, but they are not turned away. posted 04/05/2008 at 16:29:56

Read the link to the New York Times article.
Also- Given that Federal law prohibits ER's from refusing care to patient's who can't pay, HRC should have known this story was not true, and they should have verified it before using it.
In Iowa, she used a story about a waitress that struggled financially, and then the waitress came out to the press that HRC had not left a tip. posted 04/05/2008 at 15:44:55

It was only a matter of time before healthcare providers debunked this story. There are federal regulations (EMTALA) that prohibit a hospital ER from refusing care to patients. The law has clearly outlined provisions for the treatment of pregnant women.

Clinton's Push For Popular Vote Win May Not Persuade Superdelegates

Michigan, Florida, and the L-word
This seems like a very good time to mention the following: More than 250,000 of HRC's current votes have come from Bush Republicans in Ohio, Texas and Mississippi. An asterick is already necessary with regard to Hillary's popular vote totals, and given the fact that the Republicans have their nominee, we can only expect this total to increase.
Hillary has made it very clear that if the path to the White House is not cleared for her, she will make sure that no other Democrat will have a reasonable chance. posted 03/23/2008 at 23:00:49

Is Hillary Positioning for 2012?
The Clinton's have always attempted to destroy anyone who has gotten in their way. It should come as no surprise that Hillary's narcissism is greater than her desire for victory in the Democratic party. She is willing to risk Supreme Court nominations that could overturn Roe v. Wade. She is willing to risk the lives of thousands more Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is willing to allow the all important healthcare issue to sit on the shelf for four more years.
She is the very definition of narcissism. It is an extremely sad time to be a Democrat.
With all of this said, when Barack Obama is running against the befuddled John McCain, it is my hope that the differences will be so pronounced, we will win this election. I don't know of any woman willing to risk Roe v. Wade, the war, and healthcare for spite.
Bottom line, the general election is not about each of us individually. It is bigger than us. We must recognize this. posted 03/23/2008 at 14:46:43

Rush Limbaugh's Involvement With Illegal Cross-Over Voting For Clinton
We must remember this when the Clinton camp wants to argue with Superdelegates using popular vote counts. More than 250,000 republicans in Ohio, Texas and Mississippi crossed over for a day in an effort to add further chaos to the democratic primary elections.
The popular vote counts are tainted, and we can't forget this.
Pennsylvania take note. There is a criminal investigation underway in Ohio for voter fraud. A local PA newspaper interviewed a couple who were both in their 70's. They switched party affiliation in response to the Limbaugh request and plan to vote Clinton in the upcoming primary.
