Why is ‘I Own My Vote’ offering the DRAFT as a platform option?

Wasn’t ‘I Own My Vote’ a Hillary support group?

Now if you are a member or a money contributor to ‘I Own My Vote’, you will be supporting the DRAFT if that foolish platform succeeds.

BOYCOTT I OWN MY VOTE

Barack Obama is completing himself. As he moves to fit what he perceives to be a right-of-center country, he distances himself from the simple and authentic passion of a young candidate who once pledged "Change We Can Believe In." This is the trap Barack Obama has made for himself, the one he cannot escape, the one Hillary Clinton foresaw, the one that may doom him. The Obama campaign knows it too. In fear the dream is being lost drop-by-drop, they are going negative on John McCain. John McCain is a complete and well-formed man. Barack Obama is completing himself.

One of your links does not work: <em>So add your voice now by clicking here</em>...that link doesn't work for me. No biggie, but I thought you might want to know. Or not. :-) Bob Herbert, Eugene Robinson, and other media apologists for Obama are ENABLERS. They enable the feeding frenzy of racial divisiveness and are never taken to task on TV. I'm glad John McCain's campaign stood up against Obama's subtle racist jab. I would be disappointed in McCain if he didn't speak up. Last night, I had the opportunity to watch two Democratic primary debates. In hindsight, I was amazed at how much ganging up they did against Hillary. Why anyone can stomach saying or speaking the names of the other Democratic contenders is astounding. Forget the racist card as being a factor this year. The misogynistic card was played without a gasp or outrage. When I hear Andrea Mitchell comment in another YouTube video that Hillary supporters are using the "anti-women card" against Obama, I wonder if she actually watched those debates.

You realize that the chances of being heard are zero unless you take your frustration public rather than limiting it to blogs where people think the same thing as you? This is a good, high profile way to do that. Defeatism will get more defeat.

Done. In the new Democratic party leadership, women are irrelevant. Anything said about them cannot be insulting or sexist by definition, since we are non-persons. In Bob Herbert's world, we can only be sexual symbols. QED Thanks for the platform link. Done.
