- orelses, on 04/19/2008, -1/+2Mccain has a pre-cold war approach, which is going to cost us a lot of money to support so many new bases in the middle east. This is not a wise approach, just because he is a soldier at heart, does not mean he understands true foreign policy. He says Bin Laden speaks about Iraq being the central war on terror. However Bin Laden also says they are trying to bleed American dry; because thats all they can really do. And he just follows into that trap like all of the other neo-con suckers out there who think throwing more soldiers and money at the problem will some how fix it. Obama's approach includes a wider range of different views old and new and applies them to a more agile and thoughtful foreign policy. We have no other choice but to make things work without forcing our physical will on other countries whenever; because the economic stability and the national security of this country cannot afford it. In 2008 we have a choice to: protect the streets and borders of Iraq, or to protect the streets and borders of the United States. We cannot afford to both effectivly.

Judas is already taken. - smacksaw, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2The more I read these endorsements the more I think about the duplicitous nature of politics. I would not anoint Robert Reich the king of political honesty - I remember him throwing a lot of employers under the bus in his quest to get the One Ring from Sauron. Err...did I just do a short joke?
Anyway, for as corrupt as a lot of these people are, I think at heart most politicians NOT named Ed Rendell are actually decent people who believe in politics for public service and the public good. Given the chance, these people are not falling back on bad political habits, but doing what they believe government should do.
Except Hillary. Which says all you need to know about her.
Hillary is Robert Reich's Gollum. Damn...I am on fire. - adriano360, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0wish you be prisident of america
- seantaylor, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1As Sen. Hillary Clinton has ‘managed’ to take the Pennsylvania state, the Democratic race for nomination is very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates.
If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama
If you haven't done so yet, please write a message to each of your state's superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com
It takes a moment, but what's a few minutes now worth to get Obama in office?!
Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it's appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It's that easy...

Rev Jeremiah Wright's first interview since the March excessive negative coverage using video "soundbits/snippits" taken from old sermons by Rev Wright on PBS Bill Moyer's Journal on Friday, April 25, 2008. North Carolina State GOP intends to continue the negative ad exposure on Monday, April 28, 2008 in defiance of McCain and National Republican Party's request that it be pulled. Rev Wright will also be speaking to the National Press Club on Monday, April 28, 2008 and before the NAACP. It might serve to counteract the influence that ad might have on N.C. white blue collar voters similar to those in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Check it out!
