“What is the quality of your intent? Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. [...]

I have watched two women be trashed by my party–the party that is supposed to believe in “Equal Rights For Women”. In the process, Hillary Clinton broke Barack Obama’s Hopey Changey Magical Powers Wand and then the DNC dragged his limp butt over the line against the will of their constuents, never imagining that the [...]

If this pattern doesn’t make you stand in line the very minute your polls open on November 4, I don’t know what will. Recently I posted a piece on how the organized the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) and the CCDS Marxist-Leninist party are working hard for Obama too–from Chicago, of course. The Real Barack [...]

One of those speakers was “Shtuey”, Dr. Bledsoe introduced him gusto. Shtuey is a blogger well known to me, I have followed his posts for sometime now. He has taken [...]

Last night I had a conversation with a Texas Delegate. She asked me to replay Michelle Obama’s words on voting for Hillary, or should I say not voting for Hillary. I think we need to remember her disparaging remarks as she takes the center this evening at the Democratic National Convention. Is Michelle Obama really [...]

I am addicted to the Olympics. I LOVE sports, and am so happy when the Olympics come along. Sleep deprived, but happy. Anyway, Oxygen is one of NBC’s channels (who knew?), and has had different events in the evenings, like almost ALL of the Equestrian events, and synchronized swimming (hey, it’s HARD – it takes [...]

Approximately a year ago thousands of committed volunteers attended “Camp Obama,” a four-day indoctrination program, geared at teaching pre-screened Obama volunteers grass roots organizational strategies. The training, which specifically focused on the caucus states, taught volunteers to be “ruthless,” “take risks,” and win at all costs. Obama’s campaign and Camp Obama’s strategy which focused [...]

Well, folks, we did it. Hillary’s name is to be placed in nomination, just released by the Associated Press this morning. This is great news for Hillary delegates. [SUSANUNPC's Note: I just got off the phone with Proud Military Mom, who is THRILLED! She said she is "dancing, crying, whooping and hollering." She also said, [...]

UPDATE: Besides the anti-gay Mark Warner, Obama’s people have added Bob Casey to the now-overcrowded Tuesday night line-up: “Anti-abortion senator to speak to Democrats.” Are you kidding me? They have added an anti-choice senator to the now over-crowded Tuesday night, and squeezing Hillary’s MOMENT more and more? This means that Michelle Obama has a more [...]

By Dr. Lynette Long || Lynette Long blog As Americans sat glued to their television sets watching the most hotly contested presidential primary in American history, pundits counted pledged delegates won in caucuses and primaries and discussed the highly prized superdelegates’ endorsements.

It seems that a Democratic delegate committed a cardinal sin against The State. She criticized The One. “Sacha Millstone acknowledged she was frustrated over how the Obama campaign was treating delegates who supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and told a fellow delegate, in what she believed was a private e-mail exchange, that she was not [...]

Cough. Jack, you old grouch. During the primaries, you might as well have had “I overlook no opportunity to undermine Hillary” stamped on your forehead. Here’s the crabby curmudgeon’s latest attack: Some Hillary Clinton supporters want to make sure that the upcoming Democratic Convention doesn’t turn into a “coronation” of Barack Obama. A humorless organization [...]

Brenda Krause is tired of fearmongering among the Democrats. She said this about unity in the party: “I’m not going to be coerced into something I don’t believe in,” said Krause, who lives in Colorado Springs and owns a real estate office. “That makes me less unified. If they let me have my voice, I’ll [...]

If you can find ANY way to get to Pittsburgh this weekend, YOU could make the difference at both the Denver convention and for ALL future Democratic primaries. This is a historic gathering in that it is a rare instance in which the platform committee has high-stakes matters to debate and vote on, and where [...]
