Let’s be clear here people. Obama does not support Gay marriage. The Clinton’s were the first national politicians to stand up for gay people. If Obama wanted to unite the party he had the chance and did not. I cant find any where Obama has been such a great advocate for us. Just words on his site. Even John Mc Cain called the right wingers “agents of intolerence”. Gay poeple are a solid block of voters that show up at the polls. Whats the number, about 7 to 10 million. The Democrats are taking our votes for granted. Ifyoyu dont ask for equal rights we will never get them. Dont just fall in line. Demand the change for us too.

Sour grapes. These idiots will do anything they can to keep the rift in the party wide open and allow McButthead to slide right on through that huge opening. She lost. Get over it.

Yes, speeches from McCain do have that “cure for insomnia effect” don’t they?

It is interesting to note that in AZ, a supposed stronghold for McCain, we are being bombarded for ads for him with a very few for Obama. Democrats should not sweat having a robust convention where all voices are heard.

McCain and the Republicans are rightfully scared and no amount of suppressing and orchestrating their disident voices covers that fact. I am thinking of watching the Republican convention because I am having some trouble getting enough sleep.

It was announced today that Clinton’s name will be put into nomination and that Clinton will concede all of her votes to Obama. While merely a gesture, it might help. To be honest, since Obama won by only the narrowest of margings and with Clinton gatehring 18 million votes – I find it a bit foolish on HIS part to have not seriously considered Clinton as his VP. I don’t think this is embarassing – this is a very high volume of people who dont accept being simply set aside. Obama has been acting as if he had a mandate, nothing could be further from the truth. Do I think Clinton supporters should vote for him? Yes, I do. However, it is very fortunate for Obama that McCain is so beholdent to the conservative part of his party – if he were even the slighest bit more moderate (especially on social issues) he would probably be able to pull in a lot more Clinton backers than he will be able to. I wanted Clinton. I am not crazy about Obama, but he’s far better than McCain – so it’s a done deal in my mind.

Don’t these people have any brains??? Or are they all female?? and hormonal.. Don’t jump to conclusions I am female, and hormonal and I know how difficult that is to fight sometimes, completely irrational thinking!
Not that men don’t do it too. Look at J. Edwards! Talk about hormonal.
Anyway ‘demonstrating’ is the American way, but this is embarrassing!

Oh good grief! Get over it already!. We lost–he won, and we don’t want John McBush to win, so let’s not cut off our noses to spite our faces. We’re starting to sound mighty “petty”.
