And much like Bush did in 2000. Obama plays "above it all" while his surrogates in and out of the media trash his oppponent. This is how he falsely painted the Clintons as racists. This is how he claimed Hillary's comment about RFK's assassination was about HIM. This is how he claimed Hillary was trashing MLK and JFK when giving LBJ credit for legislating civil rights changes. For those who have been watching, the new McCain/Clark flap isn't anything new. Next thing you know, Jesse Jackson Jr will be whining on CNN & MSNBC that McCain didn't cry after Katrina. Well, I got news for Jackson. It won't work anymore. Americans don't like presidential candidates who play the victim. It makes them look weak and wimpy.

If it's the same ole Bush thing, then it's just another political payback to favored Democratic supporters, and may become another $$$ trough for Wright/Ayers/Pfleger. If it actually has Congressional oversight and regulations requiring oversight and accountability, that's something else. So far, I haven't heard Obama mention any of that. He's just throwing out "funding" to church groups to get political support, which is exactly what Bush did. Come on, folks, this program IS funded by our tax dollars, and should never be operated without Congressional oversight as part of the overall budget.

Both Kos and Huffington completely drank the koolaid and willfully trashed the only real progressive running---Hillary Clinton---and NOW they both have buyer's remorse for having stuck the Democratic Party with the weaker candidate. Why anybody would trust their judgement anymore is beyond me! Amazing, isn’t it?

And He is a real patriot, definitely. Look, I always opposed Clinton for president. I would not vote for Hillary Clinton for president if this were there the LAST candidate left on earth. I really don’t understand the loyalty people have for the Clinton’s, and I’d rather not know. God. Yikes. Hillary’s foreign policy ‘experience’ is largely made up, The Bosnia sniper fire thing, etc. I don’t agree with key positions and votes of Hillary. However, Obama’s positions and voting record are nothing special at all, to say the least. His empty calls for “hope” and “change” do NOT square in any way with his voting record. There are lots of reasons not to vote for Obama. And He switches positions often. It is deeply unfortunate that many Mccain supporters were once Clinton fans, but I’m willing to overlook that. Welcome aboard. Enjoy this alliance of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” However, In 2012, I’m voting Mccain over Clinton (or any Democrat) without apology.

I've been saying it for a while and so have many others (like destardi, above). That we've all reached this viewpoint independently is interesting. One other similarity they have is a love of props and costumes over substance: Dubya with his padded flight suit, Barky with his Preznential Seal. If John McCain's people were smart they would run ads highlighting how Obama, not McCain, is "more of the same." It would distance JMcC further from Bush and make BO look really scary.

Headed by Senator Royce West, this first of several meetings will convene at the Austin Community College Health Science Building, Building 9000 in the Multi Purpose Hall room 8500 in Austin, Texas on July 7, 2008 at 10:00am. The campus is located at 3401 Webberville Rd, Austin, Texas 78702. This Committee which Senator West and I have appointed has been charged with studying the current convention/caucus system. Furthermore, based on the testimony taken at these meetings, the committee will then consider this feedback and possibly make recommendations for changes. While all meetings will be open to the public, the first committee meeting will be limited to invited testimony only. Senator West and the Committee members wish to use this initial meeting as an informational session. They will discuss with current and former Party leaders the history and development of the current convention/caucus system. Those wishing to participate at this meeting are encouraged to submit written testimony to the Committee, or complete an online survey, available on the Texas Democratic Party website. Additionally, there will be other hearings held in Austin and throughout the state where public testimony will be taken in order to learn about your personal experience with the convention/caucus system. Those hearings will be scheduled at a later date. So whether it is by completing the online survey or by attending the upcoming Committee meetings, I hope you will take a moment to share your thoughts. Your feedback will play an important role as we continue to explore our current Democratic Primary process. Only by working together will we be able to grow and strengthen as a Party.
