In The End, Hillary's Supporters Join Obama

The CHANGE we need is to have DEMOCRATS in Washington. The alternative is REPUBLICANS AGAIN!! At this point no matter who you wanted in the primary does not matter. What MATTERS NOW is that we need a CHANGE OF PARTY in the White House or we will get another 4 or 8 years of the same or worse. YES, WORSE! McCain by himself is worse and when he added Palin he only made that prospect MUCH MUCH WORSE! McCain's choice of Palin is the ultimate INSULT to American women. She is a total oppositve from Hillary and her stand on the ISSUES are completely out of touch with the majority of American women.
We all MUST KEEP IN MIND that Senator McCain is 72 and has had cancer. The Office of the President is an extremely stressful position and will take its toll on the Senator. If something should happen to him then Sarah Palin would be your PRESIDENT! Talking about inexperience -- you would have it FOR SURE!
McCain's choice of Palin is a perfect example of POOR JUDGMENT and shows us clearly that he is NOT PUTTING HIS COUNTRY FIRST and is trying to gain support from women by choosing Palin.
Allowing Republicans to win will NOT UNITE this country. Put your anger and pessimism aside and vote Obama/Biden because the alternative could just be our doom!

Greetings, fellow Democrats!
November 4, 2008 is just around the corner and time is of the essence to UNITE and make our VOTES COUNT.
We must ELECT BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT...HIS AGENDA IS VERY CLOSE TO CLINTON'S.
The alternative is SCARY. An Ex POW w/P.T.S.D. and ANGER PROBLEMS is NOT who we want in the White House. And if Old Man McCain doesn't make it....Sarah Palin who is ANTI-HILLARY, ANTI-WOMEN would become the President.
HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE SMARTER THAN MCCAIN...THEY CAN SEE THROUGH HIS DESPERATE ATTEMPTS IN PUTTING PALIN ON HIS TICKET. PALIN IS AGAINST ABORTION,EVEN IF RAPED, SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING AND SHE HAS (NO FOREIGN AFFAIR EXPERIENCE).
November 4, 2008, Vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

As an Obama supporter I did want him to pick Hillary as VP because I was thinking of her supporters who are disappointed. Now after reading all the negative comments about Obama and how her supporters think McCain is better, I am glad he didn't pick her. She doesn't have that much experience, she doesn't represent change. She can't help bring in more voters. I think her negatives would out-weigh her positives. Her supporters wouldn't have voted for an Obama/Hillary ticket because they think she can come back in 2012. The problem is she will need still need a majority in 2012. I now believe she stayed the race and kept saying how unqualified Obama was to make sure he didn't win.
All I can say is people will remember what she did to the party. I don't see her even being a front runner for fear of what she might do to the party. I am an African American woman. I feel as passionately about having an African American as I do about having a woman. If Obama doesn't win, he has already raised the bar for all minorities. I already feel like a winner because as an AA getting the nomination is more than I ever dreamed of. Instead of applauding Hillary's accomplishments people are diminishing what she has done by acting like the bar should be lowered for Hillary just because she is a women. Obama got more delegates that is how he won. He didn't take anything from Hillary. If you want to be respected and treated on the same level as a man then you need to learn how to suck it up and except defeat without whining. I will vote for Obama but I almost think he would be better off losing because he will be held to a different standard then past presidents and frankly, Who Needs it?

Fakes, frauds, & other people's puppets dont impress me. This election is ours to lose and and we pick some preppie street activist with ZEROs in all columns? You're telling me of the 50 million liberals in this country, Obama is the TOP PICK??? And now the pick of Biden, entrenched big Washington permafixture, that we can expect some CHANGE? Both of these guys together STILL cannot spell out their change! And do you think Biden really wants change? He's got his hand deep in Washington politics grabbing money from taxpayers as much as he can, as fast as he can. You think he will voluntarilly GIVE THAT UP???WHAT CHANGE??? I'm STILL WAITING to hear what these two con-men are selling. What an OPPORTUNITY LOST.

The Dreams of a Forgotten Generation Ignored.
Clinton’s speech was brilliant and presidential. By attempting to connect her supporters to the selfish idea that we might have been in this only out of love for her person missed the mark. Rather, it’s about the decades of building our generations first well qualified woman president to break, not crack that glass ceiling of moral inequality. It was about getting to the “root” problem of the human race to be whole.
I don’t accept that equality for women has been put on any list of “things to do.” That’s just crazy! Injustice toward women is as old as human time on earth and is an outrage. Until the two components of the human race are realized as equal parts to a whole, we cannot be our best.
For those who thought change would come through the idol Obama and his more experienced and “ol Washington” VP partner, I hope you realize the two Parties will continue to exhibit cronyism, criminal activity, greed and secrets in their administrations and policies. Until we morally put men and women in check through equality and wholeness, political games will only continue and disappoint because we are broken. Hillary sold her soul to the Party, not to moral healing and justice for a better way. A way to stop bipartisan bickering. The way to find the road to working across Party lines with newness of integrity, enabling us to work together on all other crisis issues and “ism’s” with full integrity and focused energy.
I believe this nominee came from Oprah and multiple manipulating of the youth to ignore standing on the generational shoulders of 30 years work, which included billions of hours and dollars that American women and their allies suffered to achieve in HRC. We became justice activists at 15 and 16 years of age. Where were you in 2000 and 2004 with concerns of Supreme Court Justices? America just missed it's first (and last for a long while) opportunity for “justice for all” bringing new life for REAL change.
This campaign was fully ordained in private rooms by DNC elites, ( i.e. the Kennedy's, Pelosi's) years ago so as to “pass their mantle.” It is the exact demonstration of good 'ol Washington politics that Obama seemed to convince so many he would change. Yeah - right.
Our hope is different than what has been used to describe hope these past 20 months. We hope for the healed soul of humanity to do good. But, if elected, I hope Obama will change his stance on Bush’s faith based initiative policy, which Barack vows to continue. Rather than raising taxes for Healthcare, use the illegal tax money that has been given to mega fundamentalist and other Christian churches for eight years. It is a violation of separation of church and state. Never have tax dollars been given to religious businesses that pay no tax. Those billions would cover Healthcare and FEMA for all. The wonderful progress of American ingenuity from the Industrial and Tech ages have a downside: we are sicker and it is no one’s fault. The progress of pharmaceuticals helps us live longer with growing and new illnesses and we need National Healthcare. Perhaps a nod from Obama on this issue would cast HRC votes his way.

Sorry I am from Illinois. My whole family voted for Hillary.
We are not voting for Obama. We are now all for John Mccain.
I was just at my health club yesterday. Everyone there is
also for John Mccain. Joe Biden will be Obamas mentor.
No way, I want a President who nows what he is doing.
Not learning on the job. Not everyone from Illinois is a
Democrat. It is so said we all loved Hilary.

Whitewater, Cattle Futuregate, Travelgate, Gennifer Flowersgate, Filegate, Vince Fostergate, Whitewater Billing Recordsgate, Paula Jonesgate, Federal Building Campaign Phone Callgate, Lincoln Bedroomgate, Donations from Convicted Drug and Weapons Dealersgate, Buddhist Templegate, Lippogate, Chinagate, Lewinsky Affair, Perjury and Jobs for Lewinskygate, Willeygate, Web Hubbel Prison Phone Callgate, Selling Military Technology to the Chinesegate, Wag the Doggate, Juanita Broaddrickgate, Vandalgate, Lootergate, Pardongate; and the many deaths, including suicide, murder, and mysterious gun shots to the head, all allegedly linked to Clinton.
Israel for protection, China for technological secrets and outsourced jobs, and Mexico for amnesty desperately need Neo-Lib Princess Hillary for president. Kennedy Liberals justly burnt her at the stake for treason against Christianity and the Constitution.

What's will all the kissie, kissie stuff in the media about Hillary supports now rolling over and supporting Obama. No way, it ain't happening. No comparison between the two. True Hillary [Clinton] supporters are not going to sell their soul just to get a Democrat elected if is Obama. The guy a total mindless puppet and "thinking" Democrats know that.
Enough with the media making up "facts" and trying to ram Obama down out throats. What the heck are they getting out of this?
