I am among millions of Americans who have served this great nation of ours through a tour of duty in the military … one who stood ready to give whatever sacrifice was necessary to preserve and to secure the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution.

I am among millions of Americans who have marched in protests, stood in picket lines, been sprayed with fire hoses, been shot with rubber bullets, doused with tear gas and one who has mourned with the families of those who gave their lives for the furtherance of civil rights, affirmative action and all basic human rights.

I am among millions of Americans who have jeopardized their careers, their homes and their livelihood to stand up and speak out against discrimination and inequality, rather than stand silently by in witness of the mistreatment of others.

I am among millions of Americans who have turned out for every election, no matter how small, to vote my conscience and to provide a level playing field for every American of every race and color.

I am among millions of Americans who take a stand daily … in what they say, what they write and what they do … for the rights and dignity of all.

And I believe I am among millions upon millions of Americans who want recognition for the sacrifices we have made over the past 40 years that have made the current candidacies of the Democratic primaries and caucuses possible. Without the sacrifices we have made, neither of these candidates would be where they are today. Without our commitment to civil rights, affirmative action and non-discrimination policies, neither candidacy would be possible. And without us, neither one will reach the White House.

I believe I am among millions of Americans who want a candidate who recognizes us … among millions who want a candidate to acknowledge that our commitment and sacrifices have helped them become the living proof of our success thus far … among millions who want a candidate that promises to build on what we have built … among millions who want a candidate who recognizes that we cannot hold a clear vision of the future without having a clear understanding of the past … the bad and most assuredly, the good we, as a nation, have done.

And though we have done many wrong things, we most certainly have done as many, if not more, right things. I believe millions of fellow Americans believe this, as well.

If you are a candidate who cannot recognize the good of our past … please go home.

If you are a candidate who cannot acknowledge the sacrifices of so many for the good of the whole, please go away.

If you are not a candidate who believes that we as a nation have built a solid foundation of commitment to civil rights, affirmative action and non-discrimination on which to build our future of true liberty and justice for all, please leave the stage.

I am among millions of Americans who want a leader who believes not only in the building up of what is already good in America … but a leader who believes in the basic decency and goodness of the American people as a whole. We are worthy of your recognition.

I am among millions of Americans who want a president who is willing to serve as we have served … a president who recognizes the duty, we as Americans have, to do whatever is necessary to move forward into that state of union that recognizes, preserves and builds upon the basic rights of our vital, beautiful diversity … past, present and future.

Hillary Rodham Clinton recognizes me and millions of Americans like me.

Hillary ‘08

Many years back, German Jews saw this same type of hatred and elitist remarks. They thought that the speaker of these words could never come to power.

Obama scares me.

All I can say in her behalf, at least she didn’t run down the tarmac yelling “God Damn America” and throw viles of HIV/AIDS virus at everyone. I’m sure THAT disappointed Obama and Rev. Wright supporters.

Don’t worry. The swooshing sound is just the “Hill Yeah!” fly swatters used whenever a dizy Obamabot fly meanders away from the manure they circle and tries to deposit some of the dung here.

You can’t argue Obama is full of shit.

Pa4truth...ENOUGH SAID...

in my case, i think i’ll vote against him out of spite and out of disagreement with his policies. too bad i can’t make it count twice.

No big deal.

Obama has fanatical antiwar activists and the equally fanatical and deluded AA churches threatening riots in Denver.

There’s not much she can do about the if the press bury the reality of what is going on. She’s also a candidate with too much baggage from Bill’s years. She’s got a solid group of Working Class loyalists but the workers always lose.

Enough people on the intellectual left got angry with him and are taking out their hatred on her.

The Rightwingers and press have brilliantly used this animus and have tipped the balance to the neophyte ringer Barack Obama.

What could she have done in tha face of the press suppressing Wright, Rezko and the fictional biography that Obama has presented?

Look, I’m a supporter of hers, but this reliance on “good ads” and traditional media-driven nonsense is getting her killed. We sit around and slap each other on the back saying, “well, that was a great attack ad!” while Obama has people on the ground organizing a grassroots army to mow her down. It’s a different kind of election, one that emphasizes organizational prowess.

Hillary should take a page from the book of the guy who she wrote her senior thesis on, Saul Alinsky. It’s about PEOPLE, not “great TV spots”. This column in today’s San Jose Mercury News explains it perfectly.

STOP THE EMPHASIS ON CRAPPY ADS! MORE MONEY TOWARDS ORGANIZATION and MOBILIZATION!

We are voting here in a few more days!

(A good example is a thread BTD posted yesterday trying to get the Obamans to STFU and they responded by insisting that Hillary supporters would not vote for Obama if he was the nominee “out of spite” and another likes to repeat ad nauseum about the “desperation” of Hillary supporters.

So when asked to ramp it down Obamans call Hillary supporters, desperate and spiteful. Kinda see how that would make people feel all warm and fuzzy and apt to see your point of view? Or maybe not so much.

The only thing, apparently, Obamans hate worse than a Republican is another citizen that has the audacity to hope Hillary Clinton is the nominee. Except when we are being spitefully desperate. And bigoted. And clinging to our guns and faith.

Ironic that this is what emaenates from Obama’s church. BO is a wornout tea bag.

1. We get to say anything we want about you white people

2. You white people had better watch what you say.
