My final post here:
The essence of the majority of threads here are amazingly consistent and sad:
Blogger: "Obama is (fill in the blank)"
Response: "No his is not, You are a troll"
Blogger: "No I'm not, you are"
Response:"Not only are you a troll, but you sound like a Republican"
Blogger: "Funny, you sound like a Republican and a troll"
Another once insightful website infested with black/white, either or, I know you are but what am I, grade school intellect and behavior.
Actually most of the people associated with PUMA are passionate pro-Hillary supporters. Disregard the crap about anti-Hillary
Well, in this bizarro upside down world of rationalizing duplicity as long as it's he candidate you support (disenfranchisement of voters, misogyny, sexism, character assassinations), it's about this illustrious term find it's appropriate home as one who believes the end justifies the means, as long as it's compliments their beliefs.
Funny I can't help but think of how shocked we dems were when Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000, but lost the election due to delegate allotment. These things happen every once in a while and demonstrate the utter sham of representative democracies. These elaborate facades filled with the superrich and designed to control the will of the people or direct democracies.
Now it's 2008. Once again a slight majority of the people supported one candidate, but the system so designed to recode the errors, changed the results.
Does the end (disenfranchisement of voters in two states,character assassinations, misogyny, ignoring popular vote) justify the means?
Obama Clinton
Popular Vote (w/MI
Uncommitted to Obama)* 17,773,626 48.0% 17,822,145 48.1%
Of course popular vote doesn't matter any more than it did in 2000, but just something to chew on.

How on earth can someone who keeps winning primaries and has support of half the democratic base be tagged deranged and narcissitic? This is the closest primary in history and the media and Obama supporters have been salivating in trying so desperately to push Hillary out. Remember these things Hillary supporters
If Obama is ushered in as the democratic presidential candidate, let's all consider our principles when choosing who we vote of in the Nov election. When I use the word principle, I will remember how none of the DNC leaders spoke out against the disgusting sexism and misogyny directed towards one of their own, a startling and disappointing example of lack of loyalty, as one of the nominee was to be sacrificed. When the mass media began the sexist rants, numerously chronicled, and began declaring Obama the winner, lets not forget how many of those Obama supporter's (Randy Rhodes, Olbermann, etc) joined in the character assassinations. So my friends, you will have to choose between blind group loyalty as a principle and personal principle and we should ask ourselves whether we should reward those who sought to destroy someone we admire in a gloves off sexist, misogynistic assault. Those darrn principles, our core.
This pretty much sums up what's happening from the perspective of Bill Clinton. This is not intended to incite, this does however strike such a powerfully honest chord.
