Maybe democracy can work after all. Enough will all the premature demands for one of the candidates to withdraw before the voters have had a chance to weigh in. Maybe we should stop wailing.

5. Quick, quick.
I must throw all my toys out of my pram (and post obsessively on DU) because she is destroying us all by having the temerity to be an uppity female who believes she has a right to run for president.

Outrageous. She must be stopped at all costs. OMIGOD - she misspoke! Oh No - it is the end of the world! There she goes again. She's trying to win! It's unfair. I hate her now. She is so ugly. was she always so nasty. OMIGOD.look what she is doingnow! Speaking to the press. How dare she.
Look at what she is wearing today. Ewwww! What a nerve. She is a liar. She is evil. She is a republican. I am not going to play with her anymore. Let's all turn our backs her and show her what we really think of her.

That will show her who is boss of this eighth grade.

2. The only good thing about this is that if we figuratively beat the M$M about the head and shoulders
they will get around to covering the good works and charity of Trinity's Church of Christ in Chicago. The American People will know then that Rev. Wright retired a year ago and that what was played in those "sound bytes" was not the focus of the ministry. Yes, at times, the social gospel is used to criticize the Country we all love.

Oh how I wish the Priest would censor State Sponsored execution JUST ONCE. But no, they instead only passionately DAMN young teenage girls who are cornered and choose an abortion. That's hypocrisy and I've wanted to quit the church. However, AGAIN, a Church is more than it's pastor(s) in that there are many charitable organizations and like minded people within.

I'm a patriot and a former Army Officer, but I FELT "God DAMN America" (that includes myself) during the start of the invasion ... during shock and awe. :cry: We AMERICANS are supposed to lead the world in morality as well as being a military superpower. Well, at least that's what my belated father, who was battlefield commissioned in Italy during WWII, had told me on several occasions. I honestly believed him and I WANT TO BELIEVE in the "moral leadership" of our beloved Nation again.

4. "Democrats have added 161,000 to their rolls (in PA), a gain of about 4 percent;"
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 06:00 AM by JimGinPA
The Obama campaign's goal was 100,000. By the time all the new registrations are precessed it may be close to double that.
