My brother and his family lives in Europe and knows first hand the costs of socialism — he works 2 jobs to PAY FOR IT. It’s not Utopia.

From what I’m reading and hearing about Jenna’s wedding in Crawford, it all sounds pretty tacky to me. Just like her father’s administration has been for the past eight years. Tacky and low class.

Thank you !! The video and song are excellent;
and more importantly so true: Obama is unelectable!

SusanUnPC is right; you do have an amazing voice.

Darla, your comment shows who is delusional; pretty pathetic really. You obviously do not read nor understand polls. HRC wins by a larger margin in FL today than in January. You know a few folks that think differently?Okay, so? That's hardly a measure of anything and (now you made me laugh!!) hardly scientific. Darla, it is useful to think and at least try to be informed before writing a comment.

Yes, it is a great video.

But one of the whiny bitches from Crooks And Liars added this message:

Barack Obama is so unelectable, that he got more votes the woman who thinks shes more electable.

Some of the supporters of The Precious are so pathetic.

How can both sides of the isle deny healthcare to all Americans when its the American people who pay for their coverage?

In 1994 Teddy Kennedy said he didn’t know that Healthcare was such a priority in this country and he was going to do something about it. How long had he been in the Senate then and he had no idea that healthcare was such a priority? — well 14 years later I have seen nothing from Kennedy with regard to healthcare for all Americans. But he says that Hillary cannot be VP because she has no leadership skills. OH RIIIIIIIIIGHT

Just remember that Teddy doesn’t exactly have a great track record when it comes to who he endorses. He pulled out all the stops for the 2004 loser John Kerry too.

Right. Red Queen, over at http://elizabitchez.blogspot.com/, has a great post on this, starting with:

My Uterus Will Not Be Held Hostage

So the cry from the Blogger Boyz and their cronies to those of us who refuse to drink the koolaid and bow to the Precious is “What about Roe! What about the Supreme Court!”

Fuck you. Seriously. I don’t like it when Rethuglikan boyz try to control my behavior with threats to my bodily autonomy, why on earth would you think it’s okay coming from you.

Really it is two halves of the same coin. Don’t be a slutty whore or you’ll get punished with an unwanted pregnancy on one side and don’t be a slutty Hillary voter or you’ll get punished with an unwanted Supreme Court on the other.

Read the whole thing, you wont regret it!

I guess she should have bussed supporters into Iowa. She should have run an ad — Be a Democrat for a Day and she should have played the race card. I guess she should also come out and declare herself the winner of the nomination the way Obama is going to do without enough delegates to support his claim.

One other issue which is a deal breaker for Obama and which has only been covered superficially by Hannity and not at all by other media outlets is his belief in Black Liberation Theology which he shares with Wright. Basically Black Theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified with the goals of the black community. But there is so much more to it. And so say its a radical way of thinking for a man who wants to be President of the US is an understatement.

Jack, jack, jack …

Even with the final primaries, neither of them will have enough delegates to — as you so quaintly put it — be “elected” the democratic nominee.

Then there is that pesky General Election which is where he is UNELECTABLE. Try to stay focused. I know that when you are new to politics, there are lots and lots of new terms. But there are primaries and there is a General Election. In a General Election, the party nominee runs against the other party. No caucuses and no super paid off delegates. One man/woman. One vote (and then the electoral college). And he is not going to win. It is math.

typical — I don’t know how Hillary wakes up everyday and thinks about all the people she has worked with or helped who have thrown her under a bus, but this is what I love about her. She is not vindictive — she keeps her eyes on the prize and doesn’t let this get in her way. I can see where its hurting Bill though. He could take it when it was about him but when it hurts her — it destroys him. I love that family. They have run this campaign with grace and dignity. I pray everyday that she will be our nominee. With Hillary its about us…..

John — Hillary hold’s Bobby Kennedy’s seat in the Senate. Its been 40 years since he died and I thought she would do this for Bobby. Bobby’s kids are still routed in populism. I love Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Bobby Kennedy Jr.
