One more reason voters are going for Obama...
One more stab in the back by the Establishment Democrats yesterday in the Senate vote for amnesty for the telecoms. Never mind what laws were broken. People are fed up with these assholes. I can't wait to get rid of every single one of them. Unfortunately, Hillary is one of them by association and is suffering from their incompetence and jellyfishness.

2. I wish you were right.

But I expect it had little to do with it.

I will agree that a lot of people are voting for Obama because they're ready for a party with a backbone.

4. Just another straw on the poor donkey's back...
People can't carry anymore. They are looking for something different - anything .

7. I think that you make a good point in that Obama
is convincing when he says he wants change. I hope he can bring it about.

But I don't think that blaming Hillary or Bill Clinton for the Repub era begun by Nixon and Reagan and carried on by the Bushes is fair. I think both Hillary and Bill have shown much more skill in doing battle with the Repubs than many of the DUers who criticize them.

In other words, I will support Obama, but I won't demonize the Clintons.

6. Yes..
They don't want to take a gamble that the "terrorists" will hit us again before the election so Bush knows he has them by the balls.
