4. I KNOW! Is it going though the motions of E-voting on a Diebold Paperless machine, while...
...you know damn well that the Republicans at the Diebold Corporation are NOT going to count your vote for the Democratic candidate that should have won in a Cake-walk?

Have you guested yet that I'm from the first ALL Diebold, ALL PAPERLESS, formerly Great State of Georgia?

Welcome to my world. :mad:

5. Yeah, but that's a whole different subject.
They won't let me walk out of the local fucking donut shop without a receipt. I can't imagine needing to prove to anyone that I just bought a goddamned donut. Still... them's the rules, and rules is rules.

Why is it so difficult to print a receipt after you vote? You check it for accuracy, and drop it in a box on your way out in case a recount is necessary. Problem solved, right? Easy, right? Yet somehow that's impossible. Jesus, don't get me started.

That's a whole 'nother thread (forum, too!).

6. I don't care if Satan wins. I'm not going to vote for Hillary....
...There isn't enough lipstick in the world to dress up that pig.

Normally I'm a kumbaya, big-tent Dem, but I strongly believe that the Clintons and the politicians who supported her should be shunned, ostracized, labeled politically unclean.

How else are we going to get the message through to the rest of the DLC Dems that these Rove tactics will not be tolerated?

7. Hey, I don't want to vote for Sen Clinton either. But I'm GOING TO!
If she's the nominee, that is. (an increasingly unlikely scenario)

There are a lot of emotions involved in a primary battle, but any goddamned Democrat in the WH is better than any goddamned Republican on any goddamned day. It is what it is.

10. I encourage everyone to do what they think is right in the voting booth...

I have one question for you:

If you look at Hillary's past actions while in the Senate, how many times she let us down when we needed her, and how she's run her pig-slop campaign, what in the freaking world makes you think she won't be WORSE than McCain?

13. I only have a few problems with her Senate record.
A few BIG ones that I don't feel the need to post. And no, I don't particularly think that she's run a campaign that she should be proud of. That's just my opinion, though.

Still, I can't fathom the idea that she'd somehow be worse than McCain as president. Sadly elections, in general, are mostly an exercise in choosing the least-worst, and McCain is currently the most-worst.

14. WHAT makes you think that she would be better than McCain?...
NOT what she has said she would do, but based on her actions what we can reasonably expect her to do?

Do you expect her to bring home the troops from the Middle East if she's going to obliterate Iran? ..since she voted for Iraq and only changed her tune once she wanted to run for office?...since she has done NOTHING meaningful in the Senate to bring our troops home?

I could go on and on, but you get the point.

What in her actions make you think she would be better than McCain? Hell, what makes you think she would be better than Bush Jr?

15. She may have a "D" after her name, but she's no Democrat.
I don't see any difference between her and Joe Lieberman. Socially a bit more liberal than your average repuke, but the foreign policy will be straight from the neocon playbook. She has no problem in not telling the truth... or even the truth about the lies when she is caught.

If she doesn't have a majority of pledged delegates going into the convention, and ends up on the ballot in November, I'm not voting for her.

Pat yourself on the back.

12. I don't condemn you for your choice. Stuff yours and your puffed-up ideas...
...of what you think is right and that it MUST be right for everyone else.

I could very well say the same to you.

What makes you think that Hillary, with her actions, and her filthy campaign, would be worse than McCain?

McCain has run a much cleaner, more dignified campaign than Hillary has. It would be worth it not to have to suffer through 4 more years of Hillary/Bush/Rove politics in the White House.

In addition, I think that we, as voters, need to take a stand now and let Hillary and her political supporters know that not ALL Democrat voters are sheeple, and that we will not accept her Rove/Bush politics and the filth politicians who support her in carrying them out.

They need to be shunned, ostracized, labeled untouchable politicians.

25. You know, we've said this since, oh 1992 or so.
Where has it gotten us? A Republican-Lite President,
a neocon President, and a hugely-divided party.

Maybe it's finally time to just say "No!" to DLCers,
Republican-Lite "Democrats", and other party-destroying
creatures and creations.

Having a choice between that and a person who nukes their own party
The person who nukes their own party is the greater evil, IMO.

26. The Rethugs have to hold their noses for McCain
Surely, we Democrats can beat the Rethugs at nose-holding.
