But, I wonder, why don't you guys/gals try to reform the stupid caucus system? That would be more productive and that's the only reason Hillary didn't make it. Well, I’m a Republican anyhow.

I love the freedom. Although I loved some Democrats "Bill & Hillary", for example, I always thought that the Democrats were spineless and cannibals. Is that the right word? They eat their own is what I want to convey. I always said that I would never vote for a Republican because they were heartless and did not care about the "have-nots". That has changed with McCain & Palin. To all those who changed to "Independent" "Undeclared" etc. welcome aboard. I have been registered “No Party ” since 1995. I love the freedom.

Hope your knee gets better....and speaking of medical care. Just heard the last bit of Obama's Q and A session and a question about medical insurance for pre-existing conditions comes up so he tells his mom's cancer story again. But somehow in this version she comes out ok on this fight with the industry...hard fought...but she gets approved. Not sure I remember the approval ending in other versions...but it stood out either way. Anyway, then Obama starts giving the props to the health care industry for making moves on the single payer solution to resolve this probelm of accepting pre-existing conditions. Of course, Obama ends the spiel talking about how he was against it during the election cycle because the cost to sign up. That people don't have insurance not because they don't want it...but the cost. Which I guess is his subtle way of highlighting his 'cost saving'-online medical records-theft of privacy-solutions. Not sure. The whole thing seemed like some weird sympathy play which he helped to battle with his mom for these procedures while taking a couple of subtle jabs at Hillary. In other words....it was a campaign stop with the real Presidential Seal in the background. Sorta o/t as well...but today Drudgereport had a link to this website with free streaming concerts using Hendrix as a lure. So in honor of your Independence Day I peeked if they had a Janis concert. http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/arr/janis-joplin/3173.html One at the Fillmore and another at the Fillmore East. Hope you can enjoy it. Congrats!

I consider myself Independent, even though I am still registered Democrat. I don't believe that Obama will have a stronghold on the Democratic Party in a few years, because he is a disaster. Just like many of the Republicans turned their back on the party this year, and either didn't vote, or voted Dem, I believe that at the rate Obama keeps screwing up, many more Dems, besides many on this site, will turn their back Obama. It seems like a perfect time for a third party, considering so many Dems and Republicans feel disenfranchised. Congratulations Hampster.

It's strange but I do not try to force my beliefs on anyone. My only fight now is for women. women candidates of any party and women's issues. Where I really think things have gone wrong is abortion becoming synonymous with women's rights. I even think it may have been a trojan horse developed by the wrong wingers. Abortion rights are not women's rights or a religious issue. It is a societal issue involving all of us. Women's Rights are Human Rights. he's ducking well said.

I`ve met plenty of gay patriots in the repub party and the evangelicals I`ve met WALK THE WALK when it comes to helping the needy. Sarah Palin is an evangelical.

You don`t have to agree with them on everything. The most important thing to me is to be free. The dems are no longer liberal. They are progressive. AND PROGRESSIVE MEANS COMMUNIST. George Soros is the head of the democrat party and I hate the ba$tard. He is reponsible for the financial meltdown. His pals the Sandler`s are also (Golden State S&L.) Soros used Schumer to start everthing with Indymac. Now Soros owns it. He did the same thing purchasing Soviet assets for next to nothing during Glasnost. I hope the pig dies the most painful death. He killed the democrat party. Soros made $1.1 BILLION LAST YEAR. Check out the article in the UK Daily Mail entitled I`m having a good economic crisis. The pig is the devil if there us such a thing.
