Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Democratic Divisions:
Pfleger, Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Auchi et al
OBAMA your charisma will only get you so far!
YOU may FOOL SOME of the people, ALL the time
YOU may FOOL ALL the people, SOME of the time
BUT
YOU CANNOT FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE, ALL of the TIME!!!
How many more associations?
How many more denunciations?
What more proof do you need to realize OBAMA is NOT the person he says he is!
When are you going to realize all he is is a slick POLITICIAN!
THIS is a clue to his MORAL COMPASS and POLTICIAL WILL.
THIS IS the REASON I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM!
CHANGE is not enough to vote this man into office!

BO may be the preferred nominee of the Democratic partisans but he will lose more and more credibility as time runs by.
If I just look at the candidates : Mc Cain, Hillary (she is not out yet), BO, I kind of see the sign of time. None of them represents the perfect type of candidate one wants .
Mc Cain is old and a moderate republican, which is not the ideal type of conservative for the real conservative republicans; HC, is a woman and many hate to see a woman in the White House, BO is a black-white candidate with some questionable background (is he muslim ? that kind of thing).
The common point is that none is perfect according to the standards of the perfect ideal : a male probably, with a good solid background, strong and what have you. That does not exist in these candidates.
So the quality that could be best for the coming years should be about having competence and capacity to help America to take the turn of the new century :
dealing with global economy , foreign policy that deals well with geopolitics, climate change etc. Given the situation, all that may be expected from a president is to contain the crisis while developing new strategy for the present and the future.
I see those qualities coming from a candidate like Hillary Clinton.
BO is not too viable with geopolitics, and his economic stance is not very clear since he is the many leaders candidate, his vision cannot be a strong overall view with a real governing philosophy.
Mc Cain is bound to conservative fiscality and if the economy is in a crisis, it may not be helpful for the country as a whole. His position about the war is so far not very encouraging for most of americans.
For those reasons I only see Hillary Clinton. That's my position.

Why should Clinton supporters enable Obamas' SHOPLIFTING of the nomination? I call upon those of you that agree to stand down this fall. Let Obama/Oprah "win" it the Chicago way.

The DNC and SD are going to make the decision MAY 31st on the facts of the current situation. They will find it is in the best interest of the party and the country to asses the ELECTABILTY of the CANDIDATES and go to that person. HILLARY CLINTON!

The Democratic Party has damaged itself with the promotion of Senator Barack Obama as the preferred candidate. Obama is a SOCIALIST/MARXIST and has belittled or insulted 2/3 of Americans. We need a true Democrat that cares for all American families. We need Senator Clinton. OBAMA WILL LOOSE IN NOV. He seems to think as his church does, that he is a CHOSEN PERSON because of his race. He is buying the superdelegates. This was confirmed by the DNC fund.
Posted by: Mary | May 30, 2008 3:18:47 PM
The DNC is selling its soul. The democratic party is no more!
Posted by: Thomas | May 30, 2008 2:21:49 PM
The DNC hates Hillary so much that they have ignored every red flag about Obama.
With every passing day we see how weak and inexperienced Obama is, with constant gaffes and flip-flops on foreign policies.
And once again we have more evidence of Obama's racist church, pastors and advisors. Obama's choices...
I suppose the DNC thought with Obama's charm and color he was the best candidate they could buy.
I have more faith that McCain will bring the changes we need.
I simply do not believe Obama's lies.
Hillary or McCain 08
Posted by: cindy in nc | May 30, 2008 2:20:59 PM
It really doesn't matter if Hillary stays in this until the convention or not. The division in this party will not be pasted together once they announce BO as nom. I cannot see any of Hillary's enlightened supporters EVER VOTING/SUPPORTING B. HUSSEIN. There is nothing they can do....BO couldn't buy votes and no matter what the liberal media shoves in our faces, American will pull the right lever in Nov. If not Hillary, then McCain!

Even to comment on this episode is a waste of time. No matter who wins the Democratic nomination, the country and the party will remain divided along the racial lines. Unfortunately, Clinton nor Obama appear to be the better candidate that can unite the Democrats and there party. And please if you think McCain, Clinton or Obama can unite the country we live in think again!!! it's every one for Themselves

In February 2008, Limbaugh announced "Operation Chaos," a political call to action with the initial plan to have voters of the Republican Party temporarily cross over to vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Hillary Clinton, who at the time was in the midst of losing eleven straight primary contests to Barack Obama.
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 1:45:06 PM
I'm sure they'll go after Cindy McCain right after they expose Obama's coke snorting and pot smoking past.
Posted by: Mack | May 30, 2008 1:42:27 PM
Yes, within his first day in office, McCain will start launching bombs, raise gas prices to $10 per gallon, overturn roe v. wade, and club a few kittens and baby seals on the front lawn. And that's just before lunch. Did I mention that he's old, angry, senile and in bad health?

Both candidates have about the same popular vote (fact). Yet, it is time for Hillary Clinton to leave? Even in States where Hillary won more popular vote, Obama got more superdelegates and you have to ask yourself why? Why would people vote against the wishes of their state? I would not want these people representing me! Hillary won in Nevada 51% of the vote to Obama 45% of the vote yet Obama got 14 delegates and Hillary 11? Hillary won in Texas and yet Obama received more delegates?
After Obama’s radical black religious close friends made the many famous sermons saying that white people are worse than trash, he has been losing by huge numbers....65% to 30% Kentucky for Hillary; 67% to 26% West Virginia for Hillary; Pennsylvania 55% to 45% for Hillary. Yes, Obama won North Carolina but that was clearly projected by all because of the huge number of "black" registered voters in the state and 94% voted for him. Obama's religious beliefs are becoming crystal clear---if he didn't believe the black superiority philosophy he would be in a church that does teach "hate" on Sundays. SO WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS PUSHING TO HAVE THIS MAN AS THEIR NOMINEE---THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION? Its money, folks. Obama’s “bundlers list” and a little extortion---I get the nomination and you get the list? I will never vote Democratic again!

THANKS
Posted by: johnosahon | May 30, 2008 1:30:58 PM
John McCain believes that shaping the judiciary through the appointment power is one of the most important and solemn responsibilities a President has, and certainly one that has a profound and lasting impact. When he was running for President in 1999, he promised that, in appointing judges, he would not only insist on persons who were faithful to the Constitution, but persons who had a record that demonstrated that fidelity. A President should have confidence in the judicial philosophy of those he is appointing to the bench.************ That is why he strongly supported John Roberts and Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court and that is why he would seek men and women like them as his judicial appointees.********************
WORST PEOPLE EVER:
Roberts and Samuel Alito

Krissy K,
Read all the independent research groups reports on john mccains voting record he is one of the most far right..
except for the imagration issue and his flip flooped on that now too!
Who do you think you are kidding ?
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 1:22:56 PM
Obama not only condones those hate sermons, but he actually supports them by donating to that so-called church.
Posted by: Mack | May 30, 2008 1:21:28 PM
Debra keep deceiving yourself. go to mccain webpage, he SPECIFICALLY says he is anti-abortion and is even against abortion due to RAPE and INCEST.
the court right now is 5-4 against the MODERATES by the next four years it will be 7-2 against us, you tell me they will not overturn roe vs wade, that's your business. it is your BODY NOT MINE. IT IS YOUR RIGHT NOT MINE.
and the gays can forget it also, california will be overturned by the time it gets to a 7-2 court..
Posted by: johnosahon | May 30, 2008 1:21:25 PM
Obama's church, his pastors, his spiritual advisors all spreading hate but using God's house to do it.
And Obama knew about all of it...
Obama is unfit to lead this country.
Posted by: cindy in nc | May 30, 2008 1:19:43 PM
A church of misogyny. Hmm... I guess if Obama gets the nomination we'll see more of this unleashed from the pulpits. That's not really a change I'd like to see.
Super delegates need to sober up - stop drinking the kool aid!
Support Hillary before it's too late.
Posted by: AmazonTraveler | May 30, 2008 1:15:28 PM
Roe v. Wade will never be overturned. It was 1975 and I was 15. A woman's right to choose will never be taken away now, in this sexually charged culture....you cannot turn back the hands of time...no person or persons will be able to do that. Hell, gays are going to start getting married here next week.
Posted by: Debra | May 30, 2008 1:13:48 PM
Senator Obama's whole campaign has been "I can fix it with taxpayers' money". The working class and middle class are hurting now with the high cost of gas, utilitites, health care, food costs, etc. Just where is he going to come up with the money to "FIX" everything. Other than money fixes, his solutions are few and far between. Let's face it. Obama is a socialist.
SENATOR CLINTON HAS BETTER SOLUTIONS.
Posted by: Maggie | May 30, 2008 1:13:16 PM
Obama chose a racist church and was so comfortable he stayed for 20 years.
He didn't have the courage or decency to speak up or walk out.
Hillary or McCain

Scroll down and read Debra is not a Hillary suporter she is a McCain nut here to make trouble between obama and hillary supporters.
If you like Hillary suport her but dont believe debra.
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 1:05:12 PM
Amy...a no vote for McCain is Obama inching his way closer to the White House. Please, I am a Hillary supporter, and want a true American in the WH. I hope you do vote McCain in Nov. IF NOT HILLARY, THEN McCAIN!

You havent seen the polls Obama has picked up massive support among latinos.. Google it !
You have already said your for McCain not Hillary so why war you still here ?
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 1:00:24 PM

And yet is anybody against Obama, is by default a racist.
I for one am sick of it! I am not a racist, but am real tired of being called one just for speaking out against a true one.
Hillary '08

Kate,
At this point, I will be skipping the touchscreen for President on my ballot.
I will not vote for Obama. I will not vote for McCain.
Posted by: Amy | May 30, 2008 12:50:58 PM
Amy
So who are you going to vote for ?
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 12:44:10 PM
I never voted for a President that was "spiritually advised" by Graham or Falwell. And, for the same reasons, I will not vote for a President that was "spiritually advised" by Wright or Pfleger.
Any would-be-leader of the free world that has given their ear willingly to any of these "men of God" who all have preached intolerance, hate, and division does not deserve my vote.
Posted by: Amy | May 30, 2008 12:40:45 PM
LOLapalooza
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU KIDDING THEY HAVENT CHANGE THE LAW!
CHECK AGAIN!
THE REPUBLICANS KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE THATS WHY THEY LET MCBUSH WIN THEY EVEN ASKED HIM TO GIVE UP HIS SENATE SEAT SO THEY CAN RUN A CANDIDATE THERE
THEY WANT HIM OUT AFTER THIS!!!
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 12:40:28 PM
I just don't get it.
Wright, Meeks, Pfleger, all smart, schooled, and politically aware.
Yet to rage as they do from the pulpit does nothing to advance Senator Obama.
Why?
Posted by: Smith | May 30, 2008 12:36:41 PM
Kate:
If McCain will have to face a court battle regarding his birthplace requirements, and the Michigan and Florida delegations file lawsuits over seating their delegates..........
Then by all means, let the lawsuits begin!!!
The 2000 Presidential Election was decided in a courtroom, rather than by the voters, why should this year be any different???????
Posted by: SandyB | May 30, 2008 12:35:39 PM
Krissy K
I talk for myself not Obama...
Read this blog and you will see why half the people slagging off Obama are really McBush supporters pretending to be Hillary Clinton supporters.
If I misjudged you I am sorry !
But given this part of your post:
"Do you even know any of McCain's stances on the issues??? Of course you don't, hence the silly names you people invent. Just proves your stupidity.
I have looked at McCain, it is what the sane white working class does, look at the person and not the party. Afterall I might have to vote for him and because it is a vote against Obama.
Spare me with the woman's rights thing. (another scare tactic) There will be a democratic congress. And if you looked at McCain, you would know that I am not worried"
i KNOW YOU ARE ONE OF THEM I HAVE READ MCBUSH'S POLICY AND I JUST SEE MORE OF BUSH! NO THANKS... SCARE TACTIC HIS WEB SITE SAYS WE MUST AND WILL OVER TURN "ROE V WADE" HE VOTED FOR THE WAR AND KEPT IT GOING AND IT SHOWS HIS JUDGEMENT.
SAY WHO YOUR REALLY FOR AND HAVE A REAL DEBATE DONT HIDE BEHIND HILLARY!
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 12:35:34 PM
It always astounds me that those who profess to uphold Christian standards, like the Rev. Pfleger, are the least likely to actually behave according to them. All the mockery and satire in churches nowadays would seem to indicate that they want to entertain instead of doing what they're supposed to: providing moral guidance.
Posted by: chuck | May 30, 2008 12:33:46 PM
Kate,
they changed the law recently, so yes, John McCain can run.
But at least you know how to look up things on the internet! I'm so proud of you dear! But try harder next time sweetie... you can't succeed without failing a 1000 times
Your Uncle LOL
Posted by: LOLapalooza | May 30, 2008 12:31:26 PM
Kate -- wake up and smell the roses. The democratic party is on record as saying they would pass legislation to allow McCain to run if necessary. It's almost certain to be unnecessary because McCain was born in a US compound.
Anything else like like to smear around today?
Posted by: Thomas | May 30, 2008 12:30:51 PM
Hillary condemned the anti-American statements Reverend Wright had made from his pulpit at Trinity Church.
I don't remember her condemning the congregants.
As you say, THE MEDIA put their church and ex-pastor on trial.
Should not the media have been the one Father Pfleger chose to ridicule??
Posted by: SandyB | May 30, 2008 12:29:07 PM
"The only thing you post is your own opinion which really doesn't mean much..."
yeah that's so un-democratic. That's exactly what Obama and his supporters want America to be.
It's like George W. fascism all over again
"if you're not for us, you're against us!"
The rest of your post was really funny Mark, beyond words I cannot even think of, so I will let it stand on its own merit.
Posted by: LOLapalooza | May 30, 2008 12:25:57 PM
I have a premonition...Act III, Obama's speech...after Act I..."I could no sooner reject Rev. Wright", to Act II, "I never knew he believed these things, I'm kicking him to the curb"...to Act III..."I will never be member of Trinity again". Seriously, don't you think he'll be requesting more free air time to give us some pithy long winded speech in the coming days?
That's right BO, spin it...say "what you have to say as a politician", just like your old uncle Wright says.
Posted by: Debra | May 30, 2008 12:25:27 PM
Kate, awww you're so not entertaining anymore...
I think I'll have to watch that Obama Reverend video again just to entertain myself until Kate makes a better joke we can all poke fun of
Posted by: LOLapalooza | May 30, 2008 12:23:09 PM
SandyB,
"Well, yes, I agree that Father Pfleger's opinions are Father Pfleger's opinions."
"However, everyone in that church on Sunday seemed to be in total agreement with what he was saying...I did not observe one dissenter in the crowd."
Sandyb after the abc debate why wouldnt they hillary Clinton condemed their church and their ex Rev... the media put them on trial what would you really expect from them ????
Interested to know your reply ??
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 12:22:03 PM
Good one Mack....Obama plays dirty Chicago politics!
Posted by: Debra | May 30, 2008 12:19:20 PM
Dear Comrades, Maybe Mr. Obama will be able to have Mr. McCain's name stricken from the ballot so that he may run unopposed in the GE?
Posted by: Mack | May 30, 2008 12:18:44 PM
LOLapalooza,
More proof your reading from McSames script
"Being NAIVE and trying to BE FRIENDS with everybody.."
You dont like Obama you dont have to but be honest about your choice and your intet!
Why hide behind Clinton ?
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 12:17:46 PM
SandyB...thankfully, millions of Americans have figured Obama's poor judgement issues out. He is toast...Soros can't buy him the Presidency, even if they outspend McCain 4 to 1. Liberal radicals WILL NOT take over this country.
Posted by: Debra | May 30, 2008 12:16:32 PM
Ignore what Obama's friend says about Hillary and listen to what he says about white people, their culpability and the debt they must repay. This is part and parcel of the doctrine to which Obama has ascribed for over 20 years. He hides it well, but sometimes it slips out. Remember, even his grandmother is just a typical white person...The house that Obama has built rests on a rotten foundation.
Posted by: Nancy | May 30, 2008 12:14:27 PM
Mark,
LOL. You think he's the only one that cares about people? This guy is nowhere on track towards sainthood, so quit it with the idolism stuff, it's really scary.
You want to know what his weakness is? Being naive and trying to be friends with everybody, including people like Wright and Co. It's like watching a teenager getting on with the wrong crowd. He has poor judgment, and that is not the leadership this country needs.
Posted by: LOLapalooza | May 30, 2008 12:13:49 PM
Well, yes, I agree that Father Pfleger's opinions are Father Pfleger's opinions.
However, everyone in that church on Sunday seemed to be in total agreement with what he was saying...I did not observe one dissenter in the crowd.
Are we supposed to believe Obama, as a member of that church, would have been the lone dissenter had he been present? I think not...
Like the Father was implying in his speech:
If White Americans are to be held accountable for the sins of their ancestors because of the benefits they are presently reaping in today's society from those sins, then Obama can likewise be held accountable for the opinions and rhetoric of those whose counsel he has sought in the past, and who has spoken on his behalf during his campaign.
Posted by: SandyB | May 30, 2008 12:13:11 PM
Why...because being American means free to choose. I would have voted Hillary if she were on the ballot because I feel she is the better candidate. Smarter, hard working, determined, married to a political giant. I am not a party loyalist, I am an American first....and this American, like millions of others, will vote McCain if not Hillary.
Posted by: Debra | May 30, 2008 12:11:17 PM
At least I know my candidate's weaknesses. Do you know yours?
Yes, His weakness is seeing people suffer....It hurts him deeply.
Posted by: Mark | May 30, 2008 12:10:29 PM
Keeping the change ? ? ?
Isnt that why her campaign is broke ???
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 12:07:25 PM

I am not a Hillary fan but even her suporter would write how you just did !

I agree with you, Thats why I am supporting Obama to be the President of my GREAT country!

According to Lynn Sweet's blog, Chicago Sun-Times religion reporter Mike Thomas asked Cardinal Francis George's office for a reaction. His spokeswoman said, ''The cardinal has made it clear to Father Pfleger in the past on more than one occasion that it's inappropriate to speak about political issues from the pulpit and that his own personal opinions are his own personal opinions.''
Posted by: katmandu | May 30, 2008 11:59:55 AM
Mark,
actually Debra is an American as much as you are me. No more or no less.
We need a politician who stands up for all Americans, not just his friends and not just for the people who love him without criticism. We don't need a fascist. We need somebody truly presidential not somebody who acts like a mafia boss

I know which people are real and which people a bitter republicans who hate there guy John McSame
People that fear a man just because of the color of his skin..
People like Debra who would never really vote for Clinton they just come here to stir up trouble because they no McBush has no chance!
So I rubbed you the wrong way... You want a tissue >?
Posted by: Kate | May 30, 2008 11:55:07 AM
That's right, I'm a Republican who votes whoever I want in the general....but voted this primary on 2/5 for Hillary. Gave to her campaign. WILL NOW WORK MON - FRI, COME SEPT AT McCAIN HEADQUARTERS TO ELECT AN AMERICAN HERO INTO OFFICE.
You got that right.
I wouldn't be all that proud right now to be a Dem....look how they screwed up this nominating process. Believe me, it will be revamped to winner takes all, like Republican do.
If you're any example of a Democrat, I sure as hell don't want to be part of that club.
Posted by: Debra | May 30, 2008 11:52:27 AM
I bet poor Hillary is deeply hurt that she isn't loved by the majority of Democrats!! Here comes along a unknown Senator and steals the show, That's gotta hurt!
I love my country!!
Posted by: Mark | May 30, 2008 11:52:01 AM
Entitled is as entitled does. Hillary Clinton is interested only in states (Read votes) that benefit her. Her hysterical supporters seem to forget that "It's the votes, stupid!" And frankly the collective votes- that count- are simply not in her favor. In other words, if the majority had wanted her to win they would have voted for her. But they did not and they voted not (for her). By the way, the majority of Hillary's voting bloc voted for Bush in the last election. So, for those yelling that they will vote for McCain if Hillary does not receive the nomination, it's not like you are Democratic loyalists anyway. So there!

SAN FRANCISCO — The race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination will be over by the end of next week, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday.
Speaking to the Commonwealth Club of California, Reid, D-Nev., said he consulted with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean on Wednesday night and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Thursday morning, and they're all in agreement.

The black voters have nothing to fear. They will be the heroes in this election if they turn their backs on the false prophet (Obama)

"It's very sad that Obama has to be responsible for any IDIOTIC thing anybody he knows has said."
You are understanding the issue like a 14 year old.
You should be saying:
It's very sad that Obama has spent 20 years listening to IDIOTIC things that have been said in his church, ideologies that 0.0001% of the churches in america stand for.

Kate...you're such a fervant fan of the UNELECTABLE, you must be on payroll.
GET THIS.....I sleep real well at night knowing there are MILLIONS of us who could never vote Obama for the poor choice of Wright/Trinity and taking his little girls there to perpetuate hating whitey, jews, the US of KKK!
Got it.....MILLIONS OF US NEVER GONNA VOTE FOR HIM. MAJORITY OF HILLARY'S 17 MILLION WOULDN'T LISTEN TO HER IF SHE PLEADED FOR US TO SUPPORT HIM.

Kate: at 10:26 you seemed to pass it off as a stunt. I just want people to make there own judgement by seeing the first two minute lead up to the delightfully funny part. The media and campaigns have a wonderful way of parsing to fit a certain spin. I think this video is a prime example even if it has nothing to do with Obama/

Hoosier Sue...I'm hoping the hideous Olberman's contract will be up soon. His rating are crap compared to FOX which is triple that of any other cable news show. FOX ROCKS, as far as I'm concerned....I rarely watch the others.

Clinton falls behind Obama in state, poll says:
The latest Field Poll shows Obama leading in California by a landslide 51 to 38!!!
Obama also leads McCain 59 to 24
Women, who have given Clinton a consistent edge in California, now support Obama by 49-41 percent!!!

Kate you love to harken back to SNL, Amy and Seth...no Hillary supporter cares. We ADMIRE Sen. McCain who will win more and more of our support with every day they push Hillary out.
By the way, on FOX, Alan Colmes wife said she should suspend her campaign next week and sit back until 2 days before the convention and make her appeal to the super d's who can change their minds right up until the last day!
More s--- will come out with BO, I just hope it's in July and not October.

Debra, isn't it funny how the pundits interpret those exit polls as white racism against Obama? They never seem to consider that perhaps its Obama's racist background that's the problem.
Prediction for Election night: Chrissy Matthews will be the first to say, "America just wasn't ready to elect a black man." Oberwoman can start writing his 10 minute rant now; he's going to need it come November.

Kate...I agree with Nicholas....PEOPLE VOTE WHO THEY FEEL HAS EARNED THE WHITE HOUSE FOR MULTIPLE REASONS....POLICY AND PROMISES COME SECOND.
I WOULD NEVER VOTE BHO.
THE SINGLE BIGGEST REASON HE WILL NEVER BE ELECTED IS THIS 20 YEAR TIE WITH A CHURCH/PASTOR OF HATE....FOLLOWED BY INEXPERIENCE.
EXIT POLLS WILL SHOW THE #1 REASON OBAMA LOST VOTES...BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY. RACISM AGAINST WHTTES.
PRESIDENT McCAIN SOUNDS GOOD! NO TRUE HILLARY SUPPORTER WILL EVER VOTE BO.

Senator Obama's supporters are getting desperate and spewing more vile hatred toward the Clintons. The Gallop poll showed Clinton ahead of Obama 52% to 43%. To say Obama is ahead in popularity is just so much hype. He will be sent back to his corrupt Chicago district in November. Senator Arlen Specter says a congressional hearing may be in order if all the votes are not counted in FL and MI.
Several prominent civil rights attorneys said Democrats must fully seat the FI and MI delegation or be subject to criminal proceedings.

If she cannot run a successful campaign, how could she possibly run the country?
And lets not forget her HillaryCare! She just doesnt have what it takes to get things done.
