Obama has also vocally predicted and anticipated racism, when nobody actually said or did anything racist. Obama also used the race card against Bill Clinton. And, now democrat, and Obama supporter Kathleen Sebelius is once again using racism as an excuse, in case Obama doesn't win in November. But, what about the other side of the coin? 90% of Blacks in America are voting for Obama simply because he is black. This is racism also, but it always gets swept under the carpet. No Wright, no Farrakahn, no Rezko, no Pfleger, no Ayers, no mean Michelle, and, NOBAMA !!!

Who's forcing you to read our pathetic remarks? Oh, that's right. You're here specifically to insult those who won't vote for the Obama, no matter their reasons. Well, news flash for you: it’s a free country, each owns his/her own vote, each is free to cast it according to their own conscience and you don’t have the power to take away our rights … because we won’t give you that power. Restated, you can’t practice your intimidation tactics here because they won’t work! If you’re so inclined, insult us more. It’ll just provide greater impetus to go beyond voting and really get involved to defeat Obama … so the rightful winner of the 2008 Democratic primaries – Hillary – can run and win in 2012! Nancy

End of story. The left always loses in the general election, and for good reason. Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Move-0n - all need to go and the DNC MUST be reformed to reflect middle American views and give us middle America candidates. Obama is not going to win. End of story.

You can 'prove' that Hillary won the election. News Flash...she did NOT. Second news flash....the DNC and Howard Dean acted according to the rules, that were written by Hillary's campaign staff, Harold ickes and Terry McAuliffe. The MSM attacked George Bush as much or more than they have attacked hillary..and, remember, Hillary can take it, right? that's what she said! She is a fighter. No matter what she or her husband said about Obama, which is now being used by McCain (as we all said it would) in his 527's to attack the democratic nominee. Why should she care? she can and probably will run in 2012...do you think for one moment Hillary cares about Obama?? 'Give me a break' as Bill so aptly said in red-faced bloviating anger. And Rezko has been investigated, no wrong-doing by Obama. it is only you guys who are so determined to find something corrupt you will dig forever to get at that one missing lie. maybe it isn't there, okay? (Let's see if Bill and Chelsea will be called in to testify in the ongoing trial paul vs clinton - she was excused because she was campaigning-more to come on this). vote for mccain, you are a republican anyway.
