Legalities

HP Boston: It's unbelievable isn't it? I hope I'm alive to see that these fools got what they wished for.

Barack Obama's membership in the Socialist Affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America. On Wednesday, I went hunting for additional sources...

1996 Election Update From The Columbus Free Post
"The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks."

This revelation has left many people wondering how this could be since Obama ran under the Democratic Party banner during the 1996 Election. As a result, we want to shed insider light on how the New Party planned their takeover of the Democratic Party.

From The Happy Birthday Update Published By The New Party in 1997:

" the New Party would remain independent of the Democratic Party -- but without undermining the Democrats. The New Party's program for a new majority would, as Todd Gutlin puts it, center around an "old fashioned" concern for issues like living wages.

...the New Party's founders suggest, the left needs an organization that straddles the inside-outside fence. If the U.S. left is ever to make a meaningful decision on the third-party-vs.-Dems question, they propose, it must first take on the task of grassroots power-building.
Thus, most of the New Party's work has been in local politics, where its candidates need no party label -- just the activist energy it takes to win office. The party's strategy has been to build political organizations in a few targeted cities, working closely with labor and community organizations. Chapters run candidates only where they have a real chance of winning, combine campaign work with organizing and education, and refuse to spoil elections by stealing votes from the better of two major party candidates.
But to grow past the local level, something more is needed...

...Until major changes in the legal structure of the U.S. politics happen, we're stuck with a two-party system, and progressives -- if they want to win many elections -- will have to run, and vote, Democrat.
But without fusion, the New Party is not likely to have the capacity to swing higher level elections any time soon, inside or outside the Democratic Party. For now the New Party is nothing more -- and nothing less -- than a network of local labor-community political organizations. These organizations can, from time to time, move their political muscle and know-how into Democratic primaries to back progressive candidates for state legislature and even Congress, but do not have the size or clout to field their own candidates for the Senate, the Governor's office, or the White House."

Now you're beginning to understand how Obama, The New Party and ACORN have hijacked the Democratic Party.

Democratic Party never ran a HATE campaign!!! It have always been for the PEOPLE by the PEOPLE!!!

Republican Party has always instilled the KKK beliefs in their campaign!!!! Never about the PEOPLE but for BIG BUSINESS and WAR!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN08

Republicans are a plague infesting and eating away America. With narrowness and demagoguery, ideology and provinciality they have devastated America. And what can you expect from a mind set of Sarah Palin and the likes? What else can result except chaos, corruption and destruction our country? Remember, George Bush wanted to “Privatize” social security? Just like George Bush, politicians like Sarah Palin are desperate and dangerous. We have seen this kind of damming politics infest our country since Ronald Reagan. Remember all the talk about “Small government and no regulations” “No taxes” This is all handy work of Republican strategists like Lynn Noffsinger, Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, who were bound on winning elections no matter what cost. Their slash-burn politics have brought us many a disasters. The Republican chickens have come home to roost!

McCain and especially Palin are inciting people to riot and commit crimes and by standing on their podium, they are condoning this rabid behavior!! No matter what you think of Obama, name me one time he has stood on a podium and worked up a crowd to a feeding frenzy where they were yelling obscenities against McCain or Palin? You can't?? Then, case closed! Palin and McCain are DANGEROUS---they are not thinking of country first, but of self first and we don't need their brand of hate mongering. We need hope for the future and inspiration that as Americans, we can take back our country and get back on track!

Obama/Biden '08!!

Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd = ACRON, Franny, Freddy = Corruption
Time to throw out all the democrats

Cindyct: Speak for your liberal self. My wife and practicing attorney daughter and there friends and a multitude of other women we know and respect are all in support of a real woman, Sarah Palin: You liberal fools are bringing down this country and don't even realize it. How do you think you'll look in a burkha?

David Brooks is a democrat pretending to be a republican who is pretending to be a democrat. Basically he is confused of his own identity

charleschaplin: I FIND IT AMAZING. You were a comical joke many years ago and you still are.

A woman who incites crowds to anger? who brags about anti-intellectualism? Who doesn't speak up when her adoring crowd hurls racial epithets and calls for the death of the other candidate?

I'm volunteering for Obama canvassing, and even republicans are making a point of telling me how much they detest Palin.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. McCain made a BIG mistake in choosing Palin as his VP. He could have and should have chosen Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, or any number of talented, conservative, and experienced Republican women, but he didn't. McCain had the "experience" advantage over Obama, but he decided (albeit in a highly unsophisticated simplistic manner) that change was going to his mantra. Then he chose an inexperienced, parochial, and insular politian (and I have to admit that Palin is a talented politician when scripted) to run alongside him. When you are 72 years old, your pick of a VP is vitally important, and McCain was reckless where he should have been prudent. He had that mantra, and then he totally threw it away with the Palin pick. This shows me that despite his vast government experience, he has no wisdom, and equates (falsely) "boldness" with leadership, when what comes out of McCain's decisionmaking processes is recklessness. The GOP brand is dead. The party of Lincoln has been taken over by right-wing religious nuts, and as a result, they have diminished the talent pool for national politics and narrowed their electoral map substantially.

Sarah Plain is inciting hate and violence with her outright lies. She should be silenced by her own campaign as she has officially lost the respect of millions of Americans. I shudder at the thought of Mrs. Palin's children watching their mother spreading hate on national television. I thought Govenor Palin was a christian woman?

I could not agree with this more. Palin and McCain are playing a game so dangerous that the next step is inciting a riot. McCain knows better than this. At least she has an excuse because of her lack of a understanding of world outside of Wasilla and her obvious incompetence and lack of intelligence. But McCain has no excuse. He clearly knows better buy is choosing to win at any cost above serving his country with dignity and honor. I'm appalled at what's taking place and have lost all respect for John McCain.

The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.

Sarah Palin is a dangerous woman....The AIP party which wants to secede from the United States told Palin to run as a republican in order to promote their own agendas. The head of this group donated money to her campaign for mayor and THEN, Palin tapped him to take her place on city council. The council rejected him as "too violent". Palin spoke at the AIP convention just a few months ago and Scott Palin is a member. These people ARE NOT who the profess to be!

Obama/Biden '08!

We need steady, thoughtful and rational leadership in these times. Obama provides steady leadership.
I believe in America, I believe in Obama!

Nobama has to explain his ties to Bill Ayers.

You know I appreciate this article and the columnist comments. It gives me hope! Yes, I support Obama and have for many months. But do I wish any harm to McCain or Palin, of course not. I don't support their views and never will, but this does not exalt me or make them less of a person. It just means we differ in opinion. You want to bring up his associate with Ayers,ok, Rezko, ok, but this hate mongering is not what descent, honorable, peaceful do. No candidate, no cause can change me that much, and I, let me say it again I will guarantee anybody in my presence who would degrade, make death treats, or any way use a derogatory racial or gender remark about Palin or McCain would be corrected by me. You wouldn't need the Secret Service, I can control what goes on in my presence.

This morning I watched a clip from one of John McCain’s “town hall” campaign meetings. An angry Republican voter stood up, ranted about the Democratic control of Congress and asked John McCain, “How did we come to this?” I did not hear McCain’s answer, but I think 8 years of Rove-Hannity-O'Reilly-Rush divisiveness and hate has created a backlash of voters who remember America whole and united. Until Republicans move away from failed separatism, the party will continue to isolate itself down to religious extremists and the lower end of the IQ bell curve.

An excellent job of summing up what is wrong with the Republican Party today. I am 52 years old, a life-long Republican until 4 years ago - when I felt that I could no longer support a party devoid of ideas and hell bent on dividing this nation. The Republican Party of today is not the party of Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt and not even the party of Reagan.
