Why to go Sen. Clinton!

There is one rather large problem with this statement about voting for Clinton during the convention. It won’t count because Hillary Clinton needs to request in writing that she wants to be on the nomination ballot and she has previously stated that she does not want to be on the ballot:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/07/31/2008-07-31_hillary_clinton_asks_not_to_be_nominated.html

Here is the most relevant part of the article:
“Party rules stipulate that Clinton must ask in writing to be nominated herself and also submit a petition signed by 300 to 600 delegates. Without her signed request, petitions of support are meaningless.”

So, if you really want delegates to vote for Hillary Clinton at the convention then you first need to convince her to put her name on the ballot. If she doesn’t do that then nothing else matters, no matter how much you may want it to be otherwise.

That’s my two cents.

Thanks.

And McCain called them on it, shoved it down their throat, broke the protective shield that had stunted the vetting of Obama, the knowledge of who Obama is, his qualifications for the Office of the Presidency. And the flood gate have parted not even the MSM can stick their finger in the dike now. We find in just a week for example that the country knows Obama is different and that he is famous for being different, and is believed different for differencing reason. To some that Obama is black makes him different, some because his is young and good looking, some because he has an exotic personal history and some believe he is a politician different because he will work across the aisle with non democrats. Ok, but the vetting that was stunted in SC by Rep Clyburn, the examination of who is Obama really, what are his beliefs, what is his voting record, what is his personal history, what are his experiences, what are his contribution and deeds in the offices he has held, what are his positions on issue, who dose he surround himself with, who are his associates, how is his judgment, do his deeds match his campaign rhetoric. And gone is the ability to rebuff the judgements that have been missing repressed, Clyburn, Herbert, Dean, Robison and Barzile can desperately attempt to repair the damage they have done Obama attempt to rewrapped the mystery of who he is in same ugly animus or Movement they choose. but it will no longer work.

So SD’s if they truly want the White House, which is a question, need to decide quickly do the math assess, CAN Obama whose record, qualifications, deeds, experience and associates are now put under the spot light and judged without the luxury of the dismissive haze of racial aminus win in Nov, and what of the electorate he has offended and victimized, so are his Differences his stature as a Personality enough?

If Gary is saying this, HILLARY IS SAYING THIS.

That entitlement mentality really rubs me and many americans the wrong way. We have been faced with that for so long. It has run its course.

The way I see it, if we are going to consider any entitlement claims perhaps we should start with the American Indian.
Hillary for POTUS!!!!!!!

Thank you for re-posting the comments about McCain’s first marriage.

My response to anyone feeling as Roxanne Cintron does is to point out that getting involved in the details of other people’s marriages and divorces is not a good idea. Especially public people. No one can really know what goes on between 2 people behind closed doors. What usually happens is we simply transfer own issues on to someone else’s personal lives.

What McCain went through was something unimaginable to me. I think it would be a fairy tale for any couple to survive that. Add that to his ex wife’s car accident. It’s really too much. It just doesn’t happen and if it does, it’s a gift from God.

I’m voting for McCain. Just like with Bill Clinton, I’m not interested in his marital life. I’m not interested in 0bama’s marital life either. It’s their business. I do not want 0bama to be POTUS. And since Hillary is not in, I am compelled to vote for McCain to insure that doesn’t happen.

Often in life you have to make the hard choices.

But I take issue with the comments about David Paterson. I live in NY too. And I’m AA. You all simply do not understand what it means to be an AA politician while this man is running for POTUS. Paterson’s remarks are to satisfy the AA community who by all accounts are in a frenzy over 0bama. No amount of attacking these people out of frustration is going to change the reality they have to deal with. Look at Evan Bayh. He was very pro-Hillary and may be the VP.

Everyone here is always talking about Mayor Nutter and Stephanie Tubbs, but these AAs are towing the Party line now too. They’re not supporting McCain. New York is a big state and one that 0bama certainly needs. Paterson maybe the inadvertant Governor, but he is the governor and as the head of NYS he has to be pro0bama. He’s not a mayor. If Spitzer was still in office, he’d be pro0bama too. So cut Paterson some slack. It’s a no-win situation for AA politicians.

With regard to the noose, I’ll say this, a rope used as a noose is ultimately a weapon that could kill. A swastika, just as heinous, is a symbol, an inanimate object. It expresses hatred and anti-semitism, but it cannot in and of itself be used as a weapon to kill in an immediate sense. A rope could be.

As far as terrorist threats, he’d have the ACLU and the nutjob liberal leftwing all over him about that.

Sadly, women are still fighting for validation and it’s up to us to make our voices heard.

Isn’t that why we are all here?
