I’m a democrat, because of what the republicans have done, and will do if allowed. This is hard to understand?

I never thought of the Clintons as being even remotely racist, but such statements made in very public places during a hotly contested primary election were horrible blunders. FOX News gave them all a tremendous amount of play. And, of course, a lot of Obama people picked up on them and used them to fullest advantage.

If that’s playing the race card, I suppose it’s been played. I disagree that it ever should have been. But you need to keep in mind that it wasn’t Obama who dealt the card into the game.

You need only remember that the racist accusation has been used far more against Obama than on his behalf. I doubt if a day goes by that I don’t see at least a dozen references to Reverend Wright, presented as evidence that Obama is a racist. I remember when I couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing carefully edited Reverend Wright out-takes being used to discredit a member of his congregation. Sometimes it seemed like they were playing them at 15 minute intervals.

You honestly expect to play a game like that without drawing some return fire?

As a matter of fact, I don’t go to church. That was an adult decision. I owe my moral sensibilites to very good parenting. I attended an Episcopalian high school during the 1960s, and likely owe some of my left-leaning social consciousness to that.

An example of “using the race card” would be purposely stategizing to wrongly paint your Democratic opponent as racist. For one Democrat to do that to another is unthinkable, IMO, and that completely disgusting tactic was compounded by the fact that Obama campaigned as someone who wants to bring the country together.

Pay equity and all other women’s issues are irrelevant when you consider this guy is just fronting as the “user interface” of a criminal organization. His campaign blackmailed and forced a woman candidate who was winning to drop out of the race. It doesn’t get any more oppressive than that, given the stakes involved here.

Please also consider contacting Marc Rubin’s “The Denver Group” and urging them to organize a protest outside the DNC Headquarters in D.C. now. It may be too late to stop this coup de tat by the time the convention rolls around. And if Nader can go around the country getting his name on the ballot as an Independent, Clinton should be doing the same. Let’s try to keep our eyes on the ball, folks.

That lady has the heart of a lion and had to stand up to more bullshit and misogyny and backstabbing cowards in the DNC than anyone I have ever seen.

Please, I implore you — get involved with The Denver Group, PUMA, Just Say No Deal, if you are not already. Scream from the highest hill that you demand an open convention with her name on the ballot — she fought as hard as she could — now it is up to us to fight for her.

She never caved. Cowardly super delegates ran to the empty suit Obama on the last day to give him the delegates to put him over the top and the NY delegation came to her and threatened her friends in Congress with primary challenges, never mind what else, if she didn’t suspend.

She was on the phone with super delegates all day telling them to hold their water and Hillary was informed the higher ups told the delegates to tell her they would NOT support her at the convention.

Please tell me what choise did she have at that point? She was standing alone.

I can only speak for myself but I am donating to http://thedenvergroup.blogspot.com/ which is designed to make sure her name is on the ballot and there is a roll call at the convention.

There are so many out here doing everything they can to expose Obama.

Don’t give up.
