		<description>Well this is interesting....I hadn&#039;t counted on this...not for lack of effort though...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Seems people, including several superdelegates, are changing their minds about Obama.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By jove I think the fog of &quot;hope&quot; and &quot;change&quot; is clearing to reveal the cold hard facts of the reality of a non-unified democratic party!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Seems they&#039;re starting to realize Obama supporters are open to Hillary because she does have experience and the economy was the strongest under her last stint in the Whitehouse (alongside Bill).  Polls reflect that Obama-ites do not have the fear for Hillary&#039;s running the country that Clintonites have for Obama.  They&#039;re doing the math and figuring that with Obama they almost certainly won&#039;t win in the Fall and with Clinton they almost certainly will....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now who said that first!  lol....OK, enough gloating..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here&#039;s what one recently on-the-fence superdelegate had to say:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;**********&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;...While initially remaining faithful to Barack Obama, my colleagues and I have been having many discussions about his ability to carry enough Clinton supporters to take the election this Fall.  Even more unsettling is an increase in numbers of our constituents who initially supported Obama, but who are now writing to urge us to change our positions.  While we still feel that Barack Obama does have a chance this Fall, we are beginning to get an unsettling feeling of defection not only from the Clinton supporters, but within the ranks of the very Obama supporters themselves.  We will have to work very hard now not only to rope back in Clinton supporters, but also to keep Obama supporters from jumping off...&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;********&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A miracle!  Obama supporters changing their minds due to thinking things through??  And they said it couldn&#039;t happen...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;OK, no offense to Obama supporters for I was one myself way back when our state had the primary election.  As time went on though it became clear to me that he was getting funding from way too many loaded &quot;college students&quot;...while Hillary&#039;s supporters could only muster 1/4 of that from a working/wealthier base and one of great passion...hmmm...one red flag...could it be that the same republican driven machine who sought to prop their dummy candidate from Big Media might also be funneling funds to his campaign via proxies?  No!  perish the thought!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;..then the shameless promotion of Obama by Big Media...red flag number two...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;.. his longtime minister denouncing the US...cripes...I&#039;m critical of the US at times but when you add together that venom he had, plus that Obama used this guy&#039;s words as spiritual inspiration you begin to see a hatred of the US going to his very soul, masked of course with denial, distancing himself from the 20-year relationship at the 11th hour with a look of genuine concern..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;.. Add in a sprinkle of &quot;Obama&quot; sounding like &quot;Osama&quot; and his middle name &quot;Hussein&quot;  being the same sirname as a terrorist the US put to death...rumors that he has muslim ties...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;...Not to mention we&#039;re at war and he&#039;s had no military service, nor any foreign relations experience...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You think???  You think he might not be electable eh?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh God...sometimes realizations come slowly and painfully.  At least they come...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Better not-too-late than never.</description>

<p>Now who said that first!  lol&#8230;.OK, enough gloating..</p>
<p>Here&#39;s what one recently on-the-fence superdelegate had to say:</p>
<p>**********</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;While initially remaining faithful to Barack Obama, my colleagues and I have been having many discussions about his ability to carry enough Clinton supporters to take the election this Fall.

<p>..then the shameless promotion of Obama by Big Media&#8230;red flag number two&#8230;</p>
<p>.. his longtime minister denouncing the US&#8230;cripes&#8230;I&#39;m critical of the US at times but when you add together that venom he had, plus that Obama used this guy&#39;s words as spiritual inspiration you begin to see a hatred of the US going to his very soul, masked of course with denial, distancing himself from the 20-year relationship at the 11th hour with a look of genuine concern..</p>
<p>.. Add in a sprinkle of &#8220;Obama&#8221; sounding like &#8220;Osama&#8221; and his middle name &#8220;Hussein&#8221;  being the same sirname as a terrorist the US put to death&#8230;rumors that he has muslim ties&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;Not to mention we&#39;re at war and he&#39;s had no military service, nor any foreign relations experience&#8230;</p>
<p>You think???  You think he might not be electable eh?</p>
<p>Oh God&#8230;sometimes realizations come slowly and painfully.  At least they come&#8230;</p>

<p>By jove I think the fog of &#8220;hope&#8221; and &#8220;change&#8221; is clearing to reveal the cold hard facts of the reality of a non-unified democratic party!  </p>
<p>Seems they&#39;re starting to realize Obama supporters are open to Hillary because she does have experience and the economy was the strongest under her last stint in the Whitehouse (alongside Bill).  Polls reflect that Obama-ites do not have the fear for Hillary&#39;s running the country that Clintonites have for Obama.  They&#39;re doing the math and figuring that with Obama they almost certainly won&#39;t win in the Fall and with Clinton they almost certainly will&#8230;.</p>
<p>Now who said that first!  lol&#8230;.OK, enough gloating..</p>
<p>Here&#39;s what one recently on-the-fence superdelegate had to say:</p>
<p>**********</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;While initially remaining faithful to Barack Obama, my colleagues and I have been having many discussions about his ability to carry enough Clinton supporters to take the election this Fall.  Even more unsettling is an increase in numbers of our constituents who initially supported Obama, but who are now writing to urge us to change our positions.  While we still feel that Barack Obama does have a chance this Fall, we are beginning to get an unsettling feeling of defection not only from the Clinton supporters, but within the ranks of the very Obama supporters themselves.  We will have to work very hard now not only to rope back in Clinton supporters, but also to keep Obama supporters from jumping off&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>********</p>
<p>A miracle!  Obama supporters changing their minds due to thinking things through??  And they said it couldn&#39;t happen&#8230;</p>
<p>OK, no offense to Obama supporters for I was one myself way back when our state had the primary election.  As time went on though it became clear to me that he was getting funding from way too many loaded &#8220;college students&#8221;&#8230;while Hillary&#39;s supporters could only muster 1/4 of that from a working/wealthier base and one of great passion&#8230;hmmm&#8230;one red flag&#8230;could it be that the same republican driven machine who sought to prop their dummy candidate from Big Media might also be funneling funds to his campaign via proxies?  No!  perish the thought!</p>
<p>..then the shameless promotion of Obama by Big Media&#8230;red flag number two&#8230;</p>
<p>.. his longtime minister denouncing the US&#8230;cripes&#8230;I&#39;m critical of the US at times but when you add together that venom he had, plus that Obama used this guy&#39;s words as spiritual inspiration you begin to see a hatred of the US going to his very soul, masked of course with denial, distancing himself from the 20-year relationship at the 11th hour with a look of genuine concern..</p>
<p>.. Add in a sprinkle of &#8220;Obama&#8221; sounding like &#8220;Osama&#8221; and his middle name &#8220;Hussein&#8221;  being the same sirname as a terrorist the US put to death&#8230;rumors that he has muslim ties&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;Not to mention we&#39;re at war and he&#39;s had no military service, nor any foreign relations experience&#8230;</p>
<p>You think???  You think he might not be electable eh?</p>
<p>Oh God&#8230;sometimes realizations come slowly and painfully.  At least they come&#8230;</p>
<p>Better not-too-late than never.</p>

		<description>Someone emailed us today and asked me &quot;Who are you and why are you writing us&quot;. With reference to the &quot;Obama and the Republican Strategy&quot; post above.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A fair question.  Let me answer that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*******&lt;br&gt;I am a registered democrat having voted democratic for over 25 years (Except &lt;br&gt;this Fall if Obama makes the nominee in August)  I am a moderate, and very &lt;br&gt;deeply concerned about what some corrupt (in GOP pockets) elected democrats and &lt;br&gt;short-sided starry-eyed far-left democrats are doing to MY party. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Most importantly I&#039;m deeply concerned about what can only be called EPIDEMIC &lt;br&gt;STUPIDITY (sorry, there&#039;s just no way to sugarcoat that pill) within my party as &lt;br&gt;to strategy and lack of wisdom concerning ultimate election results.  It&#039;s as if &lt;br&gt;the democratic party is a lamb and the GOP a lion and the lamb keeps walking &lt;br&gt;right into the lion&#039;s den EVERY SINGLE TIME.  I&#039;ve had inbred chickens that have &lt;br&gt;more common sense than many of our elected dems.  There are only two reasons &lt;br&gt;they would continue to operate this way: #1 They&#039;re in the GOP agenda or #2. &lt;br&gt;They&#039;re actually and authentically submorons. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;See?  Logic.  It&#039;s not so hard. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;An inescapable fact is that Big Media is not only republican-owned, but also an &lt;br&gt;extremely biased and republican run propaganda machine.  Are you with me so far?  &lt;br&gt;Because in order for you to understand the following, you need to REALLY &lt;br&gt;understand what that means. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;OK.  Premise: Big Media=GOP agenda.    Check. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Now, Big Media PROMOTED Barack HUSSEIN Osama, er, excuse me, &quot;Obama&quot; over &lt;br&gt;Hillary Clinton REPEATEDLY, BLATANTLY and CONSISTENTLY throughout the primaries.  &lt;br&gt;The REASON Hillary started getting a landslide towards the end is that even &lt;br&gt;common field mice could see how skewed Big Media coverage was against Clinton, &lt;br&gt;the landslides towards the end reflected our RESISTANCE to being led one more &lt;br&gt;time into the lion&#039;s den.  A RESISTANCE that isn&#039;t going away BTW...lol..  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Second Premise: GOP agenda = Promoting Barack Obama.   Check. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;With me so far?  Good. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Now, the QUESTION is &quot;Why was the GOP agenda to promote a candidate they would &lt;br&gt;run against?&quot; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Any bells yet?  Any lights turning on....?  Nothing? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;OK.  Let me ask the other QUESTION.  &quot;Why did the GOP want ANYONE BUT HILLARY TO &lt;br&gt;RUN AGAINST?&quot; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Why would anyone want to eliminate a contender before the race begins?  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Answer: FEAR OF LOSING &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The GOP, if they know nothing else, know winning strategy.  They know under Bill &lt;br&gt;Clinton the economy was the strongest it was in US History.  They know under the &lt;br&gt;Clinton reign that real fights ....REAL fights were cast by Hillary to get &lt;br&gt;universal health care.  They know the Clintons are good at solving problems and &lt;br&gt;staying the course even when the going gets rough.  They are EXPERIENCED in DC &lt;br&gt;politics and foreign affairs.  These are all CRITICAL issues for this election.  &lt;br&gt;Hinge issues.  Do-or-die issues. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;And guess who they knew, between Hillary and Obama, would fail in debates on &lt;br&gt;these issues? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;GOOD!  By jove you&#039;ve done it.  You&#039;ve figured out that promoting Obama as our &lt;br&gt;candidate is PARTY SUICIDE. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;That&#039;s who I am.  That&#039;s why we&#039;re writing every single democratic elected &lt;br&gt;official and party officer between now and August.  If we make the irreversible &lt;br&gt;mistake of nominating Obama, millions of people will defect from the democratic &lt;br&gt;party and guess who will be looking for jobs next time elections roll around? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Ah, I see!  You&#039;re getting better at this logic thing all the time. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Good!  We aren&#039;t chimps to be manipulated by Big Media (GOP slime tactics).  We &lt;br&gt;aren&#039;t blind sheep being led to the slaughterhouse by corrupt or stupid elected &lt;br&gt;democratic officials.  We HAVE A VOICE and we intend to USE IT.  We are the TRUE &lt;br&gt;AMERICANS, the real source of power in this nation and we AREN&#039;T GOING TO TAKE &lt;br&gt;THE BS ANYMORE. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Any more questions, don&#039;t hesistate to ask.

<p>Now, Big Media PROMOTED Barack HUSSEIN Osama, er, excuse me, &#8220;Obama&#8221; over <br />Hillary Clinton REPEATEDLY, BLATANTLY and CONSISTENTLY throughout the primaries.  <br />The REASON Hillary started getting a landslide towards the end is that even <br />common field mice could see how skewed Big Media coverage was against Clinton, <br />the landslides towards the end reflected our RESISTANCE to being led one more <br />time into the lion&#39;s den.  A RESISTANCE that isn&#39;t going away BTW&#8230;lol..  </p>
<p>Second Premise: GOP agenda = Promoting Barack Obama.   Check. </p>
<p>With me so far?  Good. </p>
<p>Now, the QUESTION is &#8220;Why was the GOP agenda to promote a candidate they would <br />run against?&#8221; </p>
<p>Any bells yet?  Any lights turning on&#8230;.?  Nothing? </p>
<p>OK.  Let me ask the other QUESTION.  &#8220;Why did the GOP want ANYONE BUT HILLARY TO <br />RUN AGAINST?&#8221; </p>
<p>Why would anyone want to eliminate a contender before the race begins?  </p>
<p>Answer: FEAR OF LOSING </p>
<p>The GOP, if they know nothing else, know winning strategy.  They know under Bill <br />Clinton the economy was the strongest it was in US History.  They know under the <br />Clinton reign that real fights &#8230;.REAL fights were cast by Hillary to get <br />universal health care.  They know the Clintons are good at solving problems and <br />staying the course even when the going gets rough.  They are EXPERIENCED in DC <br />politics and foreign affairs.  These are all CRITICAL issues for this election.  <br />Hinge issues.  Do-or-die issues. </p>
<p>And guess who they knew, between Hillary and Obama, would fail in debates on <br />these issues? </p>
<p>GOOD!  By jove you&#39;ve done it.  You&#39;ve figured out that promoting Obama as our <br />candidate is PARTY SUICIDE. </p>
<p>That&#39;s who I am.  That&#39;s why we&#39;re writing every single democratic elected <br />official and party officer between now and August.  If we make the irreversible <br />mistake of nominating Obama, millions of people will defect from the democratic <br />party and guess who will be looking for jobs next time elections roll around? </p>
<p>Ah, I see!  You&#39;re getting better at this logic thing all the time. </p>
<p>Good!  We aren&#39;t chimps to be manipulated by Big Media (GOP slime tactics).  We <br />aren&#39;t blind sheep being led to the slaughterhouse by corrupt or stupid elected <br />democratic officials.  We HAVE A VOICE and we intend to USE IT.  We are the TRUE <br />AMERICANS, the real source of power in this nation and we AREN&#39;T GOING TO TAKE <br />THE BS ANYMORE. </p>
<p>Any more questions, don&#39;t hesistate to ask.  I&#39;ll be happy to hand-walk you <br />through. </p>

		<description>OK, so I&#039;m the only one blogging here.  No other dems around?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It just amazes me the timing of my musings here and Big Media&#039;s synchronicity.  I was just thinking how the republican strategy plays off the emotions of vulnerable emotion-based voters (the majority) and uses timing combined with scare tactics to acheive its agendas.  Then I flip on the TV and see CNN&#039;s &quot;Your Brain On Politics&quot; segment and I nearly fell off my chair laughing at their hubris.  It&#039;s like they&#039;re telling us ahead of time what&#039;s coming up and daring us to see it.  The guffaws offscreen must be deafening. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here&#039;s their strategy in a nutshell...which has been recently modified due to unexpected Clinton surprises.  Originally their idea was to stonewall their feared opponent (Clinton) and promote her easily-trounced rival.  With Hillary neatly out of the way they planned at that very moment to begin the disembowelment of Obama via the same media that hand-walked him through the primaries.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One problem: Hillary isn&#039;t neatly out of the way...  What to do?  They are also flexible and quick on their feet.  I guess I left that out.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their modified plan is now to paint McCain out as somewhat of a buffoon...within reason of course...to &quot;convince&quot; democrats to support Obama, like he has a chance, and drop any notion whatsoever of Hillary making a comeback.  Like I said, they want her NEATLY out of the way.  Then when they think they&#039;ve got her out of the way, they&#039;ll still play &quot;fair&quot; to Obama...but just not as fair as to McCain on the Big republican media circus.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here&#039;s where the &quot;Your Brain On Politics&quot; comes in.  With supreme timing and using the maximum power of scare tactics....suddenly at the last moment...I predict around October 15th give or take...there will suddenly be a huge media blitz about increasing tensions in the Middle east and certain war with Iran then as well.  In this crises, this media-trumped critical moment, the republicans will rope in last minute, I predict, millions of extra voters to tilt the balance and win McCain the election.  I can see his flabby white arms shaking a saddened and shocked Obama&#039;s in a conciliatory gesture the day after the election. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Suddenly, the Iran &quot;crises&quot; will die down due to some &quot;expert republican manuevering&quot; and the Obama campaign will be a fading memory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You heard it here first.  &quot;Your Brain On Politics&quot;.  The gall to flaunt their ploy as they put it into place.  They bank on us having our blinders on.  I&#039;m here to take them off.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How would Hillary thwart their plan?  Simple.  They know her supporters are adamant and savvy to their BS from back in the day.  Operation October 2008-gate won&#039;t work so easily.  And under Hillary&#039;s husband, the economy was the strongest its been in US history.  Those are numbers they just can&#039;t beat down with their Big Media sticks...as hard as they try.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They fear her diplomacy.  They fear her stalwart and stubborn tenacity.  They fear her intellect and hands-on approach to tackling tough problems.   And most of all they fear her proven track record...something Obama doesn&#039;t have.. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama doesn&#039;t have these qualities.  &quot;Hope&quot; and &quot;Change&quot; will be hung on the rack when frightened voters realize a decorated war veteran will get them through the &quot;Iran scare&quot; in October.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let&#039;s show the youngsters how the big kids play the game of politics.  It&#039;s nice they have hopes and dreams and want starry-eyed change.  But we know how the slicks work.  We&#039;ve seen an election or ten.  In these troubled times the older and wiser voters must be heard above the young and hopeful.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If we don&#039;t, we will be sorry.</description>

		<description>OK.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Favorite Big Media/Cheney Bush trick # 2324-5&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Offer the service of a bunch of very concerned-looking Men in Black surrounding Obama while he wraps up his speech last Tuesday night.   shaking hands.  Everyone will be watching dontcha&#039; know...lol...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Give the impression that Obama is in some sort of danger from a whacko racist.  Net effect:  undermine voter confidence in the dem nominee BEFORE HE EVEN LEAVES THE STAGE of his ostensibly and tentatively nosing his way to nominee.  Send the message that &quot;see, even if you get him on the ticket and even if he wins we&#039;re going to paint him out as a liability.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You gotta hand it to them.  They know what they&#039;re doing and they watch us dems dance around like fish on a hot frying pan.  Keep us busy and looking the other way while they slip us a Mickey like that one.  Am I the only person who notices this stuff?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meahwhile the comment that the only Hillary people who object to Obama are &lt;br&gt;women is having the opposite effect the Talking Heads were hoping for on CNN, MSNBC and FOX on the men they were hoping to humiliate into going their way (republican pro-Obama).  I&#039;ve heard from droves of men &quot;pissed off&quot; that the media is so obviously trying to manipulate them.  These are hard-working men&#039;s-men who would, and I quote, &quot;hand those &amp;%*$#s their @$$ on a platter&quot; if they were talking man to man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, once again it&#039;s amusing to keep a journal of the Big Media blunders.  It&#039;s a media circus alright!  The just didn&#039;t bank on being the ones in the ring being laughed at.</description>

		<description>OK.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Favorite Big Media/Cheney Bush trick # 2324-5&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Offer the service of a bunch of very concerned-looking Men in Black surrounding Obama while he wraps up his speech last Tuesday night.   shaking hands.  Everyone will be watching dontcha&#039; know...lol...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Give the impression that Obama is in some sort of danger from a whacko racist.  Net effect:  undermine voter confidence in the dem nominee BEFORE HE EVEN LEAVES THE STAGE of his ostensibly and tentatively nosing his way to nominee.  Send the message that &quot;see, even if you get him on the ticket and even if he wins we&#039;re going to paint him out as a liability.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You gotta hand it to them.  They know what they&#039;re doing and they watch us dems dance around like fish on a hot frying pan.  Keep us busy and looking the other way while they slip us a Mickey like that one.  Am I the only person who notices this stuff?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meahwhile the comment that the only Hillary people who object to Obama are &lt;br&gt;women is having the opposite effect the Talking Heads were hoping for on CNN, MSNBC and FOX on the men they were hoping to humiliate into going their way (republican pro-Obama).  I&#039;ve heard from droves of men &quot;pissed off&quot; that the media is so obviously trying to manipulate them.  These are hard-working men&#039;s-men who would, and I quote, &quot;hand those &amp;%*$#s their @$$ on a platter&quot; if they were talking man to man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, once again it&#039;s amusing to keep a journal of the Big Media blunders.  It&#039;s a media circus alright!  The just didn&#039;t bank on being the ones in the ring being laughed at.</description>

		<description>OK, so after our group emailed, well I think it&#039;s millions by now, of dems and getting an overwhelmingly supportive responses, we of course get some Pro-Obama-come-hell-or-high water dissenters.  Here&#039;s a great example of one:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A young girl in her 20&#039;s sent me a blackberry message lambasting me for being a party defector.  Then she went on to scold me that she had carpooled today and &quot;what did I do for the world?&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*chuckle*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I went on to explain that just this morning, as I do every morning, I went out past my recycling bin filled with every imaginable item a person could recycle, to feed my livestock, milk my goat and feed my chickens and tend my gardens.  The milk from the goat, who converts weeds and a little grain, feeds me, my children, the dogs and the chickens.  The chickens in turn feed us with their meat and eggs.  We return the smashed shells to the chickens even along with our mostly-home-grown table scraps.  Once a week we drive the truck to town to hit all the errands to save gas...and so on.  I told her we salvaged some old fence posts to grow hogs with since hogs next to chickens convert the most protein from feeds.  Then I went on to say that I&#039;m sure I didn&#039;t need to tell her all that since being a metropolitan youngster she no doubt knew all this already about where her food came from..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then it hit me what  perfect metaphor it was for the rift that is forming right down the center of the democratic party.  A full half of us are young, metropolitian, groomed to the nines, filled with ideals and jetting about in our carpools.  The other half of us have calloused hands, are just making the bills and do things like mine coal,  build the cars they jet around in and put the very food on the table they need to get them through their busy days.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I thought, you know, that little metro girl who was lecturing me on sustainability wouldn&#039;t even have the strength to text me on her little blackberry if people like me didn&#039;t pony-up, dirty our fingernails and provide her with a meal on her table, a meal provided by our knowing thrift and common sense down to the very marrow of our bones.  How ungrateful I thought.  She would starve without us...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She will starve without us...</description>

		<description>A little message arrived in my &quot;Hillary&quot; inbox today.  She&#039;s announcing that she&#039;s getting behind Obama.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&#039;s too bad.  Perhaps she doesn&#039;t realize that she works for us and not the other way around.  25% of Hillary voters are not going that route and those numbers will be climbing as McCain and Big Media proceed to disembowel him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is no longer about Clinton vs Obama.  It is about american democrat voters vs our elected officials.  If they are pressuring her to drop out, they are pressuring us to drop out as well.  She herself isn&#039;t our message.  She herself CARRIED our message.  That&#039;s an important distinction to make. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When the delegates snubbed her, they snubbed us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let me be perfectly clear:  We will not support a wet-behind-the-ears 40-year old newbie to sit at the Commander In Chief&#039;s station.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This election isn&#039;t about blacks, it isn&#039;t about women.  It&#039;s about an illegal war, a crises in foreign policy and a gutted economy.  We are facing highly techinical and critical problems in our nation and electing the pupster Barack Obama is not an option under any circumstances.  And voters are going to show their elected officials that message come this Fall and many Falls to come...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Barack Obama must earn his way into this critical seat.  If he were to accept Hillary&#039;s VP position WE WOULD WIN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION BY A LANDSLIDE... This little detail escapes delegate attention again and again.  Their poor little brains just cannot figure out why american people don&#039;t want a youngster in the Commander&#039;s chair playing with the controls this time around.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They are willing to risk National Security for political correctness, for backroom pressures and shortsided &quot;black&quot; hopefulness.  If blacks think Obama&#039;s rise to power is so important, they too would back his VP position, since his position as frontrunner will only net them another bitter disappointment in the Fall.  Demoralizing, to say the least.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nope delegates.  You can woo, you can coo.  The ones of you in Big Media pockets can use your outlets to try to &quot;talk sense&quot; into the growing numbers of sensible people who know what putting a newbie in the Whitehouse in time of National Crises is all about.  Good luck with that!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Obama nomination is de facto a pre-November concession speech on behalf ot the democratic party to the republican one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good work guys and gals!  You&#039;ve done it again.  John Stewart was right months ago when he posited: &quot;Let&#039;s see how the democrats will *&amp;$#  up this election&quot;.  Now we know: Overweening Martin Luther King dreams.  And this when all they had to do was snug him into the VP position and put the sure-winner and seasoned commander at the helm.  8 years hence: America&#039;s first black president with all our support and blessings..  What a pity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One wonders if the delegates graduated from Kindergarten.</description>

		<description>A little message arrived in my &quot;Hillary&quot; inbox today.  She&#039;s announcing that she&#039;s getting behind Obama.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&#039;s too bad.  Perhaps she doesn&#039;t realize that she works for us and not the other way around.  25% of Hillary voters are not going that route and those numbers will be climbing as McCain and Big Media proceed to disembowel him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is no longer about Clinton vs Obama.  It is about american democrat voters vs our elected officials.  If they are pressuring her to drop out, they are pressuring us to drop out as well.  She herself isn&#039;t our message.  She herself CARRIED our message.  That&#039;s an important distinction to make. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When the delegates snubbed her, they snubbed us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let me be perfectly clear:  We will not support a wet-behind-the-ears 40-year old newbie to sit at the Commander In Chief&#039;s station.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This election isn&#039;t about blacks, it isn&#039;t about women.  It&#039;s about an illegal war, a crises in foreign policy and a gutted economy.  We are facing highly techinical and critical problems in our nation and electing the pupster Barack Obama is not an option under any circumstances.  And voters are going to show their elected officials that message come this Fall and many Falls to come...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Barack Obama must earn his way into this critical seat.  If he were to accept Hillary&#039;s VP position WE WOULD WIN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION BY A LANDSLIDE... This little detail escapes delegate attention again and again.  Their poor little brains just cannot figure out why american people don&#039;t want a youngster in the Commander&#039;s chair playing with the controls this time around.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They are willing to risk National Security for political correctness, for backroom pressures and shortsided &quot;black&quot; hopefulness.  If blacks think Obama&#039;s rise to power is so important, they too would back his VP position, since his position as frontrunner will only net them another bitter disappointment in the Fall.  Demoralizing, to say the least.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nope delegates.  You can woo, you can coo.  The ones of you in Big Media pockets can use your outlets to try to &quot;talk sense&quot; into the growing numbers of sensible people who know what putting a newbie in the Whitehouse in time of National Crises is all about.  Good luck with that!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Obama nomination is de facto a pre-November concession speech on behalf ot the democratic party to the republican one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good work guys and gals!  You&#039;ve done it again.  John Stewart was right months ago when he posited: &quot;Let&#039;s see how the democrats will *&amp;$#  up this election&quot;.  Now we know: Overweening Martin Luther King dreams.  And this when all they had to do was snug him into the VP position and put the sure-winner and seasoned commander at the helm.  8 years hence: America&#039;s first black president with all our support and blessings..  What a pity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One wonders if the delegates graduated from Kindergarten.</description>
