God forbid there would be a major eathquake or something.

The media is the most corrupt institution in America, yet takes itself so serious.

It is time to resurrect the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment!

I am, however, a yellow dog Dem who wants to lay some whup-ass on the Republicans in November. I see so much dedication from the die-hards on both sides and we could go so far to change things in the country beyond the white house but Senate Congress and local races if we were together.

I'd done with the Democratic Party. I'll never vote for the Republicans, but the time when I'd vote for anyone with a D after their name because I though "we" were better than "them" is over. Now... I'm going to learn to leave ovals empty on my ballot. Obama will not get my vote, and there is nothing he can do to earn it any longer.

I never thought it would come to this.

How do you create the impression that people are racists, then laud them?

Here is a comment from Taylor Marsh that I think is very important:

I called the Hillary Campaign earlier to leave a message to urge her to take it to the convention.
The voicemail was full, so I spoke with a live gentleman who said the best thing for us to do would be to send email to:

Hillary won my vote. I didn't care for her before the debates began, but her pugnacity and her sincerity won me over. I think she is MUCH more qualified to be president than anyone else running.

My party-- I've been a Democrat my entire life. I have always, even as a child, supported Democratic and democratic ideals, values, and candidates. However, I feel betrayed.

I feel like my party has cheated me and cheated on me. The fix was in, and nobody told us.

But I'm not leaving my party. I'm going to run for higher positions within it.

As an unreconstructed New Deal, Fair Deal, Great Society Clinton Democrat.

I have not yet begun to fight for my party and its principles. I'm going to work, or try to work, from the inside.

I'll vote Democratic in November. I'll donate, I'll do voter registrations, and I'll drive the bus on Election Day.

200 years ago this country officially abolished slavery, which meant for the most part people from Africa who were treated in an inhumane and horrific way. It was a crime that cannot be underestimated or dismissed as dead past history. Yes, there were others from other countries and the trade in human beings really knew no limits.

Sexual slavery still exists in many parts of the world and even in the US. All forms of slavery must be abolished, everywhere. We still have a lot to do in this country, to liberate women and others who are oppressed. This is the mandate of this election.

But let us not underestimate or undercelebrate the fact that for the first time in the history of this country an African American has been nominated for President by a national political party. As historically, his success really does depend on women of all races, Latinos, and people who were born many decades ago. America needs us. We need to let them know that.

I'm proud to have witnessed this event, and wish Senator Obama the blessing of all Americans who believe that our country can be even better, and more respectful of our diversity. Diversity now and henceforth means all of us. And John McCain will not lead us forward.

God Bless Hillary Clinton for a life's worth of work on behalf of others in this country. She has changed my daughter's life, and my two sons' lives as well. Yes, we took a lot of unfair hits. No doubt. But listening to John McCain spout ridiculous things right now in Louisiana, there is no way that all of the hard work and money and support for our hero Hillary Clinton will ever translate into indifference about or acceptance of John McCain.

You, Hillary Clinton, are my inspiration.  You did not lose, the Democratic party lost, and this country lost today.  

Hillary Clinton is the most courageous person I have ever heard. She started this fight a long time ago and I as a female have so much pride for her and it overwhelms me. If it were me - I would have told this country to 'go to hell' years ago. The Clintons did nothing wrong - they took the abuse because they wanted to serve. I tell my people (Black Americans) all the time - the Clinton foundation has done more for people around the world than the US of A. My hat off to Hillary.

I will never respect it.

They stole my Michigan vote.  STOLE it.  In an unprecedented move.  And then placate me (and others) with false information on "fairness" and "likelihood."

For me, this isn't even about the candidates anymore.  It is that Democrats voted to willingly violate the basic tenets of democracy.

I was considering not voting Obama due to the sexism, race-bating, and due to other occurrences.

I am now considering not voting Democratic at all this election cycle because they literally stole. my. primary. vote.  And don't even acknowledge it.

This is something even the Republicans have not done.

I may accept that this is their decision.  There will never be respect.

If even a fraction of the incredible passion, talent and dedication of the supporters of Senator Clinton can be united with the same in Senator Obama's supporters, Democrats will be an unstoppable force in November.

A Philly fan posted on a site I read: "We didn't beat your boys up. We made them men. You'll thank us later."

That's what Clinton did for Obama. She ran hard, she ran tough, and she never quit. I may disagree with some of her statements, and I may question the ethics of some of her tactics. But she was the best thing that ever happened to Obama.

If Sen. Barack Obama can withstand a challenege from someone like Sen. Hillary Clinton, he can handle John McCain.

But for me, I can hardly begin to grasp how hard tonight must be for many of you.  Here I am writing, literally with tears running down my cheeks, because Clinton is so classy, so smart, and has run the campaign of my lifetime.

1. Hillary wants the VP ask
   
2. Barack will offer it, only on the condition that she does not accept it.
   
3. She will then decline it.

For example: the farm bill.

Now McCain saying he opposed Cheney energy bill, Obama voted for it. He opposed farm bill, Democrats voted for it.

TL is an AWESOME website that allowed, I feel, the BEST in dialogue with sometimes passioned statements, but nothing way over the top.

The moderation made it a haven for Clinton supporters because of the heated atmosphere created by Kos and Co and their people.

Thanks Jeralyn and your crew for allowing me to come here since the madness of the Texas caucuses.  This will be the first time since I was 24 that I will not be working for a Dem presidential campaign.  I will focus my energies on more personal issues (fixing up my house, the animals, WORKING OUT! LOL!)

If things change, which one can hope, I will be back full force supporting Senator Clinton in her bid for the presidency.
