I Can't Stand This...
I'm so fucking pissed off right now. I can't stand the idea that Joe Biden is no longer running. This is stupid. We're handing our government over to inexperienced and unqualified people. I cannot accept this. This is NOT right.

Isn't there a web site or movement of people that are organizing to do something about this?

I'm sorry, but I must continue to fight for what I KNOW is RIGHT.

4. Isn't There...
anything we can do. I don't care. Just give me five minutes with Joe...I swear, I could talk him into getting back in this race. I know he would have caught fire....I just know it.

8. I cannot believe it either
It happened so quickly, too quickly, and it doesn't seem real.

I haven't been able to sleep, think, function, ever since Joe pulled out.

He is such a strong fighter, he's like a warrior, I wish he would jump back in the race. Iowa isn't everything.

3. Your right
I know since the results were printed and I watched the MSM tell us how to think about what happened.......
It's obvious Edwards is on his way out.
I feel like we will be left with....a former first lady....and the second best Senator out of Illinois....oh boy.

I'll be curious to see what anyone might come up with.

5. THIS IS NOT RIGHT...
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 04:34 PM by Steely_Dan
This is NOT fair. I will not accept this. I'm going to do something...I can't just sit here and do nothing.

DAMN IT! I'm fucking pissed.


Doesn't anyone see what is going on in the world?

And what are we left with?

7. You name it....
I am there. We need Joe. We cannot let one state's outcome determine the rest of this race. The way it is now, we should all just stay home and let Fox, MSNBC and CNN pick our president. Thats not the way I want it. I want Joe. I do not like any of the leftovers. I want a man with experience, intelligence, foresight... I want Joe Biden to be my president. Tell me what to do...what can we do collectively to encourage him?

I am thinking too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16. I gave him my email address. Hopefully he will email me when he has
something put together.

With the blog going down, we are losing our one place to connect.


It was Steve Fallon from the blog - maybe you can post a shout out for him and he will respond.

13. Steely and all,
I've been in a similar situation since Feb of 2004, when Wes Clark withdrew from the race.

There are lots of us around, wishing and hoping and praying.

Try persuading him to get back in???? I don't recommend it. WE waited for Wes until he announced that he was going to be helping Hillary.


We're ALL together here.

14. I just joined Unity08 earlier today, but not sure even that would work,
since I have not had time to read the whole thing, but here is what their draft page says;

20. I hate to harken back to my old battle cry, but $$$$. If Joe had the millions
Hillary and Obama have, he'd be getting coverage.

Just like when Ron Paul raised that huge amount on one day, he was in the news and getting coverage.

If we couldn't get the money before, how can we get it now?

This is one of the negatives of not being a corporate whore. :grr:
