Reasons to vote Dem: Supreme Ct., Polar Bears, Health Care, Globl Warming, War, shrinking mdl. class
Edited on Fri Mar-28-08 02:34 PM by kerry-is-my-prez
Women's right to choose, education, the economy, stop using oil, let's not bomb Iran, let's get OUT of Iraq.

Someone else had a great post that really went into all the details - but for the simpletons who are too lazy to read - THAT is what's important.

I really don't like Obama at all and I'm really angry at the Dem. Party for the way they've treated the first female to run for President and the Clintons BUT I will swallow my pride and try to stop being out-of-control angry (It's still okay to be pissed) and vote for him if he's the nominee. I hope that Hillary will have a chance the next time.

Hopefully, if Obama does get the nomination he can heal this nation and bring people together - and that he makes people proud that we went from someone like Bush to having the first black President.

If it's Hillary - I will be very proud that a woman is in there running. She's has tons of experience and she is a down-and-dirty fighter who will kick Republican ass - which I think you need to be to run against the Repubs.

I would suggest that to the Obama people that you stop posting threads that "rub it in" to the Hillary folks - we are losing and it just makes it less likely to want to support your candidate. To the Hillary suppporters - try to be a little less pissed. It's okay to be pissed though...

GO DEMS!

Soulless killing machines.

We're queer,
We don't want any more bears!"

13. Why? They are bought and paid for by Coca-Cola!
Maybe when they get out of the pockets of Big Refreshment!

14. But at least they stand up
to the Walrus lobby. I'm sick of Big Walrus controlling everything.
