I feel as if I walked through the looking glass, everything I thought I knew about the Democratic Party does not seem to be true anymore. He is weak on choice, weak on healthcare, forget about women’s rights or gay rights. Looks like we are now going to have two parties who don’t give a damn about working people. I will vote a write-in for Hillary.
The Breck Girl was on Larry King only a few days ago saying he would not endorse anyone at this time. What made him change his mind? And then the booing from the teenaged crowd against a woman presidential campaign as they stood there smiling and grinning was despicable. The level that has been brought to this campaign could not get any lower. It is disgusting. I will not vote for Obama if he is the nominee. He has done nothing to gain my vote and has silently endorsed this sexism. The same can be said for the DNC.
The bashers are underestimating the number of people, especially women, who will exit the Democratic Party this year and NOT vote for Obama if he’s the nominee. I’ll never vote for him. A vote for Obama is a vote for misogyny and crooked politics disguised as hope and change. I’ve been watching, a lot, and I still don’t know what “change” means to BO. Haven’t heard anyone brave enough to ask him, either. It would be laughable if it weren’t so f’ing serious for all our futures. Some say this has been an exciting time for the democratic process! but it feels like I’ve stepped through the looking glass. GO HILLARY!
It’s difficult to deal with this level of rage on a daily basis. I feel like I’ve been battered for the last five months. Hillary is great, though. A true inspiration in ass-kicking tenacity. I am tremendously proud of her. A vote for Obama would feel like sticking a knife in my own gut. Sorry to be so dramatic. Please keep the great posts coming.

What has been most deeply depressing about this race is discovering that the level of unabashed misogyny coming from the progressive left is every bit as poisonous and unforgivable as what we’ve been living with from the right. And Obama has not “silently endorsed” it. Rather it has been a cornerstone of his campaign, and his comments and manner are familiar to all of us. Just today he blew off a female reporter, calling her “sweetie.”

WALK OUT FOR DEMOCRACY
If Howard Dean and his cohorts persist in engineering this so that Obama wins the nomination with 2025 votes, there will definitely be massive disgust with the Democratic Party all over the nation, not just in Florida and Michigan. That could easily translate into a landslide for John McCain.
That’s another reason for all Democratic delegates who want to stand up for democracy walk out of the Convention in Denver if it appears that the nominee is to be anointed with fewer than 2,209 votes.
Can we push for a Massive Walk Out For Democracy, Many Of Us have Sent3 dimes to the DNC to represent 30 pieces of Silver

I cannot believe that the Obama camp and the leftwing of the Democratic Party are misrepresenting Hillary’s comments regarding her campaign lasting till June and now accusing her of wanting Obama Assasinated. These accusations are ridiculous and I’m beginning to wonder if Obama’s campaign has become paranoid or if this is just more spin to discredit Hillary. I wonder why no one has mentioned all the death threats Obama supporters have been making to Hillary all along on the very nasty left wing blogs.. It appears the journalists and pundits find those bloggers’ comments very amusing.
I am really beginning to believe that the
“Democrats eat their own”. It has become very obvious. I have never seen such disloyality from our Democratic leadership, or heard a candidate attacked so viciously by the media and left wing talk radio hosts and so-called Progressive Democrats. These people are hateful, mysogynystic, vindictive and vile. I am ashamed to be a member of a party that condones such tactics. The left wing of the party (Howard Dean) is responsible for dividing the Democratic Party, not the Clintons.
