339. Evidently, there are many here unwilling or unable to acknowledge what the DLC is and
and what it does . . .

Certainly Hillary isn't the "anti-war" candidate, is she....?
Hillary is certainly the DLC candidate --- she is part of their leadership -- !

The corporate-sponsored DLC is the Republican wing of the Democratic Party ---
including 42-45 "blue dogs" who are consulting with Bush and GOP leaders and voting
with them.

Obama --- ? I simply don't get it ---

What I could agree with is that whatever either of these candidates is saying right now, it isn't
enough -- it barely speaks to the issues we face re Global Warming and war and a busted Treasury ---
serious problems with infrastructure in America --- and 8 years of a corrupt/criminal Bush/Cheney
reign.

What could the problem be in acknowledging that we need to nationalize America's oil and
start putting electric cars on the roads?

What could be the problem with simply extending Medicare to ALL -- ?

Further, re Bill Clinton --- it's amazing how the "scapegoaters" perform here re Nader . .
but rarely see that Perot tipped the election to Clinton vs Poppy Bush.
In fact -- what did Clinton come in with? 39% . . .
The GOP wanted to push for a do-over as I recall --- !!!

Hillary, further, is not "returning" to the liberal fold ---
Hillary was a Republican ---
and will be another "great compromiser" in the same mold as Bill Clinton --
compromising our way to more destruction and insecurity for our nation.

NJ is a blue state, so we have some wiggle room here --
and I don't see that I will be voting for either Hillary or Obama ---
probably I will cast a vote for Edwards ---
