I was pretty sure that all I was doing was staying out of Federal confinement and, coincidentally, shooting at strangers.</description>

		<description>Yes, it was  Hillary  the workers in Nevada saw as a  hard working representative of their interests, and without doubt the cynical Reagan remarks backfired.  And backfired more so as they were made at one of the most reactionary newspapers in Nevada.

Obama accepted  endorsements from the two very conservative Newspapers that have supported the Iraq war.  Both papers are anti union, and pro Bush/Cheney.  It struck me as an intentional use of anything to defeat Hillary, even telling us Reagan was transformational, etc. 

As Obama&#039;s camp parsed this today, it  felt hollow as I remember how we are still paying for Reagan&#039;s hard right positions. Deregulation of the airlines and everything else, anti union policies, tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy,etc., along with the secretive plotting in Iran contra, and surpressive actions in Guatemala. Ignoring the energy crisis was Reagan&#039;s nod to the oil biggies and escalation of drug prices. The &quot;market finding it&#039;s level&quot; turned out to be huge increases in medical and drug prices.And as Reagan said there wasn&#039;t a tax cut he didn&#039;t like, or a government department that could be too small.

In fact, Bush&#039;s policies were easier for him to implement as Reagan&#039;s policies gave him his landing strip. And the biggest government beaurocracy ever that hasn&#039;t done a thing for the people.

I found the description of your volunteer work very inspiring, and thank you for it.  We need to take our country back!</description>

		<description>Here is a good article about Dr King

It Was The Hope Of The World

www.informationclearinghouse.info/article19109.htm

In his day we had real leaders not perfect leaders but real leaders who stood up for what they believed in at all cost and many of them paid with their lives.

Today we have no leaders just power grabbing opportunists who talk big but don&#039;t deliver unless their own agenda is honored first and then they give us a few crumbs. The American people are just like the Germans in the 30&#039;s too stupid or blind to realize what is going on.

Yogi Berra said &quot;it aint over till its over&quot; and its not over but the end is close.  The &quot;bloodless coup&quot; which took place in January 2001 will end this way.

A false flag incident will happen some time in Sept/Oct this year probably with Iran, or maybe even another 9/11 on American soil only bigger. Panic will erupt and in order to maintain order, martial law will be declared and the elections postponed indefinitely and this nation which was oncew the hope of millions of people will fall into just another failed experiment in the annals of history.

Only one thing can stop them...

		<description>From Leslie..

But we thought we were saving the world from communism.&quot;

This is what they wanted us to believe, the same way the current admin wants us to believe they are saving us from an another ....ism, terrorism.

Communism was never a threat to the US.  It was all a ploy that President Eisenhower warned us about.

Thousands of lives lost, millions of dollars wasted.

In Iraq history is repeating itself.

I am waiting for that day when live TV is showing the last people being airlifted out of the Green Zone as Iraqi&#039;s storm the gates much the same way the Vietnamese stormed the American Embassy in April 1972.

Yes Leslie it is sad that in spite of all the good this country has done (we are of course not perfect and have made mistakes) the evil that is always present has finally brought this country to its knees. But as the old saying goes evil always succeeds when good men(generic) do nothing. The &quot;good men&quot; in Congress could end this nightmare in a second but they won&#039;t...Hillary wont Obama wont and certainly if the Repugs win which they will wont either.

It is a dark day for the Republic....

Lets get back to the playoff games.</description>

		<description>Thank you Susan,

I was offended that the press distorted and engaged in innuendo regarding Hillary Clinton&#039;s  accurate remarks about LBJ and the CVivil Rights Act.

 Hillary&#039;s remark  was an example of stating historical fact to make a point. But then I  watched the press turn her remarks and intentions around negatively.
Russert is always on the prowl for taking a clear statement and taking it out of context to fit his bias and need for &quot;news&quot;.  The press started this, and Obama followed.

And I&#039;ve decided that Arianna&#039;s mean spirited blog&#039;s  main purpose is to trash Hillary at all costs.

But I&#039;m not completely surprised at Huffington who came here fresh from Oxford University  a full blown uber conservative, and then managed her husband&#039;s failed run for US Congress. On to her subsequent divorce from super wealthy Huffington, and voila! Arianna emerged a Progressive.

Ever intense Arianna then systematically proceeded to trash and burn Al Gore on a moment to moment time line and assure everyone that Gore and Bush were alike.  Sure. They stood for the same things
and there was no difference between them  No one but Ralph Nader could do the job as a true progressive. It was her way or the highway, and America has been skidding ever since.

 Huffington ran for governor in California against Schwarznegger, but we all know that was a photo op moment.  Her Hillary hate is dysfunctional, but there&#039;s a lot of bile on HuffPo we could do without.

I hope this election doesn&#039;t provoke  racist or sexist themes that evolve into anger and confusion.  We don&#039;t need it.</description>

		<description>What strikes me about that era is how wrong we were about the situation in Vietnam: It was a civil war. But we thought we were saving the world from communism. Sad. And how often have we misread situations since then or worsened them through myopic, short-term policies? [I&#039;m not just referring to Bush here.]</description>

		<description>Thanks for the concise reminder. Isn&#039;t it odd how the NYT would not print a few extra words of Hillary&#039;s (or anyone else) statement for clarity? It completely changes a statement of historical fact and shows the NYT is not the paper of record, just an agenda.</description>

		<description>Excellent.  This is what the media should be doing if they still cared about Journalism.  Tim Russert could be one of the worse interviewers on Television.  He has ignored the legacy of Lawrence E. Spivak. Chris Matthews would be a perfect replacement for Fox&#039;s short-lived half hour comedy hour. The rest of the media just fell in line.  Noone seemed to be concerned with what was really said, or historical accuracy.  Barak could use a good book on the history of the Civil Rights Movement.  When he quoted Ron Reagan should be nominated for a &quot;What was he Thinking?&quot; Award.  Like Mitt Romney remembering his Father marching with Dr. King.  Mitt must have had a dream!!!</description>

		<description>He sure WAS there!  As a young man.  So bright and able that he was already working in the White House.  

It&#039;s sad that Sen. Clinton&#039;s historical reference was distorted by the media.  

It&#039;s also sad that Lyndon Johnson&#039;s great achievements as president are overshadowed by his failures about Vietnam.   Gosh, I&#039;m trying to remember the name of that marvelous HBO movie about Johnson&#039;s presidency, focusing on Vietnam.  It is a must-watch.  And I&#039;ve watched it at least five or six times because it&#039;s so riveting.  Alec Baldwin played Robert McNamara.  One thing that that film shows is how tortured Lyndon Johnson was by Vietnam.</description>

		<description>I was a precinct captain for Hillary in Iowa. Getting people to support your candidate at the caucus is like herding cats...wily and unpredictable.  After Iowa, Clinton turned her NH campaign around in 5 days and she worked non-stop to win. The media gave her little credit for her win.  Instead of congratulating her for winning, I saw a ration of bologna served up to explain away her victory with silly theories…the &quot;Bradley Effect&quot; (says that people are bigots), the &quot;Spiral of Silence&quot; (says that women are afraid of their husbands in the presence of pollsters).  This is unbelievable tripe.  Media pundits should have been eating crow and instead they were blaming women for their stupid predictions. http://firedoglake.com/2008/01/12/media-pundits-insulting-voters-now-because-being-wrong-wasnt-enough/ Good old fashioned door to door campaigning, tirelessly taking questions, passionately caring about peoples lives and giving them confidence in her ability to fight for them, this is what worked for Hillary. She also had a canvassing army from Bill’s NH primary of get out the vote people knocking on doors and changing people’s hearts and minds.  The facts are that the women and the working class, the democratic base, chose her over Obama and gave her a win. Zogby, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-zogby/polling-the-new-hampshire_b_80657.html lists several reasons why the polls were off, but the most intriguing was that some of the independents who would have voted for Obama voted for McCain to stop Romney because the polls said Obama would win.  Pollsters don’t want to admit that they influenced the vote, but they did.  Plus, there were 18% undecided voters that were difficult to factor in.  One more point: idiots like Chris Matthews were dancing on Hillary&#039;s grave all day and mocking her &quot;tears.&quot; He pissed off the women and they voted for Hillary because he is a sexist a-hole. 
Her win in Nevada just shows what a formidable campaigning organization she commands. Obama’s pandering for the Los Vegas Review Journal’s endorsement hurt him. He thought he had the Culinary Workers vote in his pocket and tried to pick up a few more votes by positioning himself with independents and Republicans. He was mistaken. Didn’t anyone warn him that invoking Reagan’s name is anathema to any self-respecting union member? Anyway, most of the independent vote he hoped for went to the Republicans. Union members want to vote for a Democrat and for that, Hillary won their hearts.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was a precinct captain for Hillary in Iowa. Getting people to support your candidate at the caucus is like herding cats&#8230;wily and unpredictable.  After Iowa, Clinton turned her NH campaign around in 5 days and she worked non-stop to win. The media gave her little credit for her win.  Instead of congratulating her for winning, I saw a ration of bologna served up to explain away her victory with silly theories…the &#8220;Bradley Effect&#8221; (says that people are bigots), the &#8220;Spiral of Silence&#8221; (says that women are afraid of their husbands in the presence of pollsters).  This is unbelievable tripe.  Media pundits should have been eating crow and instead they were blaming women for their stupid predictions. <a href="http://firedoglake.com/2008/01/12/media-pundits-insulting-voters-now-because-being-wrong-wasnt-enough/" rel="nofollow">http://firedoglake.com/2008/01/12/media-pundits-insulting-voters-now-because-being-wrong-wasnt-enough/</a> Good old fashioned door to door campaigning, tirelessly taking questions, passionately caring about peoples lives and giving them confidence in her ability to fight for them, this is what worked for Hillary. She also had a canvassing army from Bill’s NH primary of get out the vote people knocking on doors and changing people’s hearts and minds.  The facts are that the women and the working class, the democratic base, chose her over Obama and gave her a win.

		<description>Great video Susan. I found nothing wrong with Clinton&#039;s statement either, and Bill Moyers is eloquent in stating why there was nothing wrong with it. Moyers was there!</description>

		<description>That&#039;s funny.  I laughed out loud.  (And I wonder how long he stays chastened after MSNBC executives, as well as Media Matters and numerous women&#039;s groups, came down on him.  He is what he is.  Which is an old-fashioned sexist man.)</description>

		<description>Only one thing I disagree with you about in your post; you said &quot;Chris Matthews thinks...&quot;. I don&#039;t think he does. I don&#039;t think he&#039;s capable of a rational thought.</description>
