FIght McCain, not each other

[proud2BlibKansan]

We have an historic nomination battle, driving record Democratic turn-out and commanding the nation's attention. But, the Democratic race for President has lost its focus. We have John McCain to beat in November, instead we fight each other.

America needs to know our nominee will fight global warming with new jobs, technologies, and investment. Our nominee will expand health coverage to 10 million kids immediately, allow lifesaving research on stem cells, and work toward health care for all by the end of a first term. We will ban torture, restore habeas corpus, and build renewed respect for America around the world. A Democratic President will end the war in Iraq and bring our brave men and women home.

Let voters choose our nominee based on the best we have to offer, not the worst we can imagine. Join me in demanding Senators Clinton and Obama fight McCain, not each other.

3. Fight the opposition you say?

Pshaw... what have you lost your mind? We're too busy making asses out of ourselves to do anything productive. I went out of town Friday, came back last night and GDP is still on about this Pastor.

9. I am in DC for the 5th anniversary of the war

and haven't been online as much as usual. And I hear ya. The few times I have turned on TV all they are talking about is Obama's preacher. How disappointing to see the same story dominating DU. This place used to be better than that.

4. Obama is being forced to fight a two-front war.... the GOP machine (McCain) and the Clinton machine

...it's hard to keep your cool when you're fighting off two powerful forces...


Throw in the M$M, and you could say it is three.



But he is doing quite well at it... and doing it with grace.



Proving more than presidential to me....

5. Heh, Obama is being coddled like a baby. Wait until the right wing

slime machine fires up if and when he wins the nomination.

[IndependentDem]

6. the strange thing is that he is handling everything better than many of his supporters n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. I agree he is playing this far better than Hillary

She needs to bow out gracefully soon.

[IndependentDem]

7. Kick for UNITY!

McCain and the conservatives are the ENEMY! Period.

[IndependentDem]

8. drop it like its hot...

isn't it funny how all the good positive threads just drop. its like no one is interested, if a post doesn't anger them in some way they just move right past it... sad, fucking sad.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. We need to work hard to stop Barack first

else we’ll have at least 4 more years, maybe more, of RW SCOTUS justices.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Thank you for keeping the thread kicked

[walldude]

19. Got your finger on the alert button? you're going to need it

you fucking asshole. There are very few responsible people here who realize that we need to get a Dem in office no matter what. Then there are complete and utter fucking losers who come into a unity thread to try to split the party up. Congratulations, now both you and the person you support look like assholes. Maybe you'd like to explain how Obama is going to install all conservative judges to the supreme court?

Now hit alert and ignore please.

[IndependentDem]

23. It's a great idea

but can they work together? I doubt it.

[IndependentDem]

24. yeah my bad for thinking two influential democrats could work together

it just doesn't seem like either of them are winning anyone over right now with what they are doing... i guess I'm just naive.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. I am feeling naive too these days

[IndependentDem]

25. kick

26. Thanks for post proud2Blib, and the link

It's easy to loose sight of the bigger picture.

Two wars

Economy tanking, while the CEO's rank in money hand over fist with their Platinum parachutes, while the taxpayers get to foot the bill so the Fat Cats glide off in the sunset.

A pResident who believes it is more important to bail out these charitans, instead of people who are losing their jobs and possibly their homes as well.

Gas prices continuing to rise, which affects everything else, food, heating/cooling.

And yet I guess it's also hard to turn away from this train wreck that is our primary.

I wish we already had our nominee so we could refocus our energy on the real enemy running for office.



When is the protest going to be?.?.?

Post pic when you can.:hi:
