““My sense is that Mr. Nader is somebody who if you don’t listen and adopt all of his policies thinks you’re not substantive,”

Abraham Lincoln Speeches
At Peoria, Illinois (October 16, 1854)

The repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and the propriety of its restoration, constitute the subject of what I am about to say.

As I desire to present my own connected view of this subject, my remarks will not be, specifically, an answer to Judge Douglas; yet, as I proceed, the main points he has presented will arise, and will receive such respectful attention as I may be able to give them.

I wish further to say, that I do not propose to question the patriotism, or to assail the motives of any man, or class of men; but rather to strictly confine myself to the naked merits of the question.

I also wish to be no less than National in all the positions I may take; and whenever I take ground which others have thought, or may think, narrow, sectional and dangerous to the Union, I hope to give a reason, which will appear sufficient, at least to some, why I think differently…..

“Finally, the site is totally infested with Obamatons…..”

Really John, where are they and who are they, am I one, is CEE one?

Also just what is an Obamaton, John?

John do you believe in free speech? Or do you only believe in free speech as long as it agrees with your opinion?

What this site is infested with is people like you, Simon, Mike Howell and others whose venomous attacks and inuendos on anyone you dont agree with ranks you right down there with all the Republican trolls who have no opinions themselves they just get there rocks off seeing their name in print.

In fact as I have said before thats probably what you are, Republican trolls..

Want a piece of me John? Bring it on John lets see how tough you are.

Here’s my email address bill 564@cox.net

Attack me, an Obamaton, directly. You will be the first because when I offered this challenge to Simon and Mike Howell they ignored me, why ?because they are too spineless and chickenshit to prove their points.

So John I am waiting……

Bill,

I give Hillary credit for apologizing yesterday.

“If anyone was offended by anything that was said, whether it was meant or not, or misinterpreted or not, then obviously, I regret that,” Clinton said in a question and answer session at the annual “State of the Black Union” symposium held in New Orleans.

Good statements HH as usual, its good to hear a voice of reason in the jungle of hatred and venom that now dominates NQ

I would be honored to correspond with off blog, here is my email address if you are interested.

Sounds like a great party, BTW I was born and raised right next door in Southern Illinois, lots of good bball but not like the Indiana.

The truth is an amazing thing or are you going to trash this woman like you do everyone else, who doesnt agree with you?

Pay particular attention to the last remark.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, spoke at St. Mary’s college in Maryland last week and offered a very frank assessment of the state of the Clinton campaign.

“Townsend said she expects Sen. Barack Obama to win the Democratic presidential nomination and that Clinton is finished. She believed that the Wisconsin results demonstrated that Clinton’s coalition (voters over the age of 50 and those earning less than $50,000) had fallen apart.

When asked why the Clinton campaign had failed, Ms. Townsend had plenty of opinions and she placed significant blame on Bill Clinton and his racially tinged statements in South Carolina.

She also felt that Clinton made a tactical error in making “experience and inevitability” her central campaign themes.

Townsend argued that Clinton had little more experience than Obama and far less than candidates such as Senators Dodd and Biden.

It was an opportunity for Hillary that appeared to work very much to her advantage. I am interested read what others of you have to say if you saw the program.

The Taliban were a fundamentalist sect who happened to allow AlQ thingie a place to live. In Rummy’s infinte wisdom we’re keeping the rural Taliban from their homes, cause their leaders screwed up?
