Only Weapon Left Is Divide and Conquer
Listen up Hillary supporters. Listen up Obama supporters. Neither of you can win without the other. If Obama is thrown from the bus, the black vote is lost. If the black vote is lost, Hillary cannot win the Presidency. Conversely, Obama cannot win without Hillary supporters. We are dependent upon each other. Do you disagree?

We have only one choice. We can all hang together or we can all hang separately. The Republicans know they cannot win on the issues. The only way they can possibly win is to divide the Democratic Party. They know that the Democratic nominee cannot win without the black vote. That is their plan. Drive a wedge between the Hillary white voters and the Obama black voters.

We need to operate from here forward with that understanding. Hillary cannot win without Obama and Obama cannot win without Hillary. As much as this idea may sicken some of you here, it should be obvious to you that this is the point we are approaching.

Hillary is no dummy. She will see what is happening here, I hope. It is time for her and Obama to call a truce. Let the best man or woman win but do it with grace. We cannot afford to be divided. We cannot afford to let the Republicans conquer the White House once again.

1. Hillary will have no place on the ticket.
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 09:33 PM by JackORoses
The best man has already won.

Using her supporters votes to shoehorn her way onto the ticket is disgraceful.

3. do you want to make a bet?
a DU donation, perhaps?

I have yet to find a Hillary supporter wiling to put their money where there mouth is.

You pick the amount.

Hillary will not be on the Ticket.

4. And you still think I am a Hillary supporter??
After all that has been posted today and all that you have responded to?? Do you even read the threads that you post on? Or do you talk just to hear yourself talking??

6. so you're out on the bet?
at this point, I see someone who attacks Obama for lame reasons (such as his Pastor) as a supporter of his opponent.
why else would you be throwing chum in the water?

5. It's too late. Humpty Dumpty has fallen. And the dirty politics has been very one-sided.
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 11:14 PM by David Zephyr
Denver is going to be worse than Chicago in 1968.

Wall Street, the Corporate Media, the Defense Industry are not going to allow Barack Obama, who is not beholden to lobbyists and who might actually talk to our fabricated enemies, they will not permit him to become the nominee of the Democratic Party. If you think they shut down Howard Dean, it's nothing to what they will do to Obama. And the Clintons, our corporation cozy Clintons, are licking their lips because they know that all the dirty work is about to be done for them.

The very people that took us into war in Iraq for oil are the ones that are going to destroy Obama's candidacy and make sure that only those who supported and authorized that war for oil will be the nominees of the two political parties: John McCain and Hillary Clinton.

It is now obvious why the Clintons continued on when the math ruled them out of the contest: they knew they could count on the establishment to shut Obama down.

It's too late now. Anyone can see what is going down. This is not going to have a happy ending.

The Clintons are hell-bent to steal the nomination and they have a lot of powerful friends to help them.

Denver is going to be a disaster.

And the blame? It's all the Clintons,

Nothing can bring peace now. And the Clintons don't want it. They need the earth scorched to win. And they will see to it that it is scorched.

It is with great sadness that I even say this, but the seeds were sown when the Clintons kept moving the goal posts. The signals were all there.

Obama's supporters are going to be heart broken and crushed as they watch what has already begun. How angry they become is an unknown, but there will be anger.

As John Lennon said, the dream is over.
